The British government will seek to construct eight nuclear power plants and expand domestic oil production in order to ensure energy security amid the global crisis. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s long-awaited energy strategy will include a major shift towards nuclear power and open up oil exploration in the North Sea in a tacit admission that so-called green energy sources will not be enough in order to secure energy security. The government said that it wants to see a “significant acceleration of nuclear” with the aim of producing 24GW of energy from nuclear by the year 2050, or about a...

Nothing personal, but the Mouse must die. Oh wait, it is personal, especially for people with little kids who this giant corporation has targeted at the behest of the minority of blue-haired, nose-ringed strange-os in its employ. That Walt Disney is likely turning over in his cryogenic chamber beneath the Disneyland Castle is irrelevant. The man who created an American institution is gone, as is said American institution. It's now a global institution, and the America part is vastly outweighed by the Chi Com component. We used to trust Disney to take care of our kids, not take them over....

Do you know the definition of insanity? It’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Sadly, this is precisely what socialists are trying to do. Without exception, every socialist experiment throughout the world has failed over the past century. (And, in most cases, the failure is swift, messy, and disastrous.) Author Kristian Niemietz says it best in the title of his book, Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies. Socialism is, factually, a deeply flawed and failed idea. Yet it continues to be hailed as the savior. Even worse, it’s juxtaposed against capitalism as a...

Among the talking heads discussing Ukraine, more than a few have said things like "Ukraine is very corrupt. We don't need to get into that fight" and "We don't have a dog in that fight. The corruption in Ukraine is massive." But how corrupt are we? I don't know much about corruption in Ukraine, but corruption in the United States is a glaring problem that just about every citizen who is paying attention would acknowledge. Are we any better than Ukraine? Maybe worse? It is the nature of corruption in a culture that only a fraction — often a small...

Years back, when I lived in Northern California, a huge controversy erupted in a town called Novato about implementing a pro-LGB curriculum and movie called That's a Family in the elementary schools. Parents were outraged, including liberals, and it made national news for months. California was the epicenter for gay education/indoctrination in the schools, and I was fully enmeshed in these issues, with kids in public and private schools in Marin and San Francisco. The school my kids attended at the time was grappling with the same That's a Family brouhaha. I led the opposition, with tremendous support from mostly...

Wednesday’s edition of Special Report on Fox News aired a bizarre segment featuring newly declassified documents about UFOs. Using the report, the segment contained several questionable – if not fantastical – claims. Although “UFO” has become synonymous with “alien spacecraft,” the acronym means exactly what it stands for: unidentified flying object. U.S. government officials increasingly prefer the term “UAP,” or, unidentified aerial phenomenon. “I feel like we should have the X-Files music here, but they say the truth is out there and it might be terrifying,” Bret Baier said to kick off the segment. “A just-uncovered defense department summary of...

The Democrat frontrunner for governor in Arizona, Katie Hobbs, did not say if she would support any time limits on abortion when asked. Hobbs refused to provide a cut-off date when asked about her thoughts on limits to abortion. “What would your limits be on this? This limits nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. Where do you draw the line?” a local news host asked Hobbs. “Well, women deserve access to abortion care. Abortion is health care,” Hobbs replied. She then touted her legislative record to illustrate what Arizonans would get if she were elected governor.

Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) on Tuesday announced his exit from Congress, notching up a 40-percent exit rate among House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump. Just before announcing his retirement, Upton noted in a campaign email on Tuesday “very positive” poll numbers in his primary race against Trump-endorsed Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI). Both Huizenga and Upton were running for the same seat due to state redistricting. “My district was cut like Zorro — three different ways,” Upton told reporters. “So I’ve been here 36 years. When I first ran, I thought I’d be here 10.” Upton was first elected...

Republican Herschel Walker holds a narrow lead over incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) in a hypothetical matchup in the race for U.S. Senate in Georgia, according to a poll published Wednesday. The poll, taken by Emerson College Polling and the Hill from April 1 to 3, found Walker with a four-point edge over Warnock.

The poll was conducted among 1,013 registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus three percent. Walker, a...

ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. -- The Escambia County Circle K where a clerk was set on fire by a woman on March 30 remains temporarily closed. The clerk, identified by family as Joie Hellmich, suffered severe life-threatening burns after being doused with gasoline and lit on fire. Betty McFadden, 30, was charged with attempted murder. Hellmich's friend Jodie Jones told Channel 3 on Wednesday that Hellmich is currently in critical but stable condition. She’ll likely have more surgeries in the future and will have a long road to recovery," Jones told Channel 3 in a statement. " She continues to fight...

Sumy has been liberated! Evidence has begun to circulate that Russian forces have also withdrawn completely from the Sumy Oblast, and now the Ukrainian flag flies boldly over the Ukrainian-Russo border there. The war has now shifted completely to the southeastern area of the country, and the Russians may be attempting to increase pressure on some of these key areas.

WASHINGTON — A Ukrainian official has provided VOA with exclusive photos of the aftermath of Russia’s five-week occupation of Ukraine’s decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant, showing what he says are Russian trenches dug into radioactive soil near a 1986 nuclear accident at the site. Evgen Kramarenko, director of the Ukrainian state agency managing the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl plant, sent the photos to VOA on Wednesday, saying he had taken them himself on a visit to the site with several of his colleagues the day before. It was the first visit to the site by Kramarenko’s team since...

ISSAQUAH, WA—The popular retail store Costco has announced that due to rising costs created by inflation and food shortages they will now be offering customers payment plan options to pay for beef. "I didn't know how I was going to pay for a pack of ground beef, but now that Costco is offering easy payment plans, I can pay it off over time," said Dan Bilsby, a local Costco patron. "Now I can afford to eat roast without picking up 3 extra jobs! Thanks, Costco!" According to sources, for a limited time, Costco is selling all beef with zero percent...

“And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him” (Proverbs 7:10-13).

The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday night to call for an investigation of war crimes committed during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Six House Republicans voted against the measure. “We rise today not as Republicans, Democrats, but as Americans, as a united Congress on behalf of the American people condemning these atrocities,” said Representative Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas and the co-author of the bill. The six Republicans who opposed the legislation did not immediately explain their votes, but nearly all of them were members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus and have argued against interventionist foreign policy.
