President Joe Biden’s strategy to curb rising prices and the decline in real wages looks less like an actionable plan and more like giving a drowning man a weight to hold. It is not an accident that the U.S. economy is on life support. The decline is a result of a strategy from Biden that kills the American way of life from the bottom up and the middle out.

In yet another attempt to save his abysmal approval ratings, President Biden made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Shapiro reacts.

Nielsen is launching a new product aimed at shoring up the accuracy of its TV ratings system: a series of datasets meant to quantify a program’s “bingeability,” along with a show’s propensity to keep viewers coming back for more episodes down the line. The ratings giant explained in a statement Thursday that streaming services and major networks could each use this data to figure out which shows are better at wooing new viewers or retaining old ones. These insights are coming courtesy of a metadata-centric company called Gracenote, which Nielsen acquired back in 2017 to provide its clients with “deeper...

Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo, who was in charge during the May 24 mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, offered up the explanation in a new interview with the Texas Tribune where he defended law enforcement’s delayed response in taking down 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos. [cut] The door to the classroom that Ramos was in had a steel jamb and could not be kicked in, Arredondo told the paper. He spent more than an hour in the hallway trying dozens of keys. “Each time I tried a key I was just praying,” Arredondo told the Texas Tribune. [cut] In...

A 20-year-old Chicago man is being celebrated as a hero after he leaped into action to save the life of a man who fell on the subway's potentially deadly third electrified rail. Anthony Perry, 20, was honored in a ceremony on Wednesday by a local community leader who awarded him a new car for his heroism. Perry told WGN TV about the moment he saved the man's life: 'I don’t think I was thinking about what could happen to me at the moment. It was more of what do I have to do to make the situation peaceful. I felt...

Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo, one of the first responders to last month's elementary school massacre, said he intentionally left his two radios behind when he ran into the building to try and stop the gunman, making it impossible for him to be in contact with most of the other officers on the scene throughout the entire situation. In a phone interview with the Texas Tribune, Arredondo said he left two radios outside the school because he believed they would have slowed him down and that every second mattered. One radio had a clip that may have fallen...

'It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back': Smirking Putin threatens Sweden and compares himself to tyrant Peter The Great while issuing chilling threat to Scandinavia Vladimir Putin has compared himself to Russian tyrant Peter the Great as he bragged about 'reclaiming' land in Sweden in a chilling new threat to European security. Putin, speaking on the 350th anniversary of Tsar Peter's birth, referenced the Great Northern war which saw an anti-Sweden coalition - led by Moscow - smash the Swedish empire and establish Russia as a new imperial power in Europe. 'It seemed [Peter] was fighting...

My latest song. Touch the monolith, I double-dog dare you!

Peter Rice, the chairman of General Entertainment Content for Disney who spoke out against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Parental Rights in Education” law, has been ousted from his position, according to Deadline. Rice, who has worked at Disney since 2019, in late March told The Hollywood Reporter he saw the law as a “violation of fundamental human rights.”

“The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall” (Proverbs 10:8-10 KJV).

After Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump, Brian Fallon needed a job. Fallon had served as Clinton’s national press secretary during the campaign, and before that he had done the same job for my colleague Chuck Schumer in the Senate. For a while, his reputation around Washington, DC, was stellar. He was, according to a lengthy profile in the Daily Beast, “one of the most sought-after operatives in Democratic politics: a brass-knuckle brawler with experience at the highest levels of government, a cellphone filled with the top journalists in town, and a reputation for being preternaturally on...

Amoris Laetitia: a Ticking Moral Time BombOn June 22, the Vatican will host the World Meeting of Families, which will showcase the “Amoris Laetitia Family.” When asked about whether this new model of the family includes LGBTQ families and other “irregular” unions, the spokesperson for this gathering was vague and noncommittal. Although we can’t be certain about the thrust of this meeting, one thing is quite certain: there has been a concerted effort in the last few weeks to promote and propagate Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis’ exhortation on the family issued in 2016. Several weeks ago, a conference on moral...

Why does the Millennial generation (people born between 1982-1996) have lower marriage and birth rates than previous generations? And when Millennials do get married, why is it at a later age than previous generations? Prominent periodicals like The Atlantic, Time, Washington Post and others have published articles trying to explain the phenomenon. Some claim that the cause is economic – we graduated from college into the 2008 Recession, we have a lot of student loan debt, and we receive stagnant wages as housing prices soar. Financial difficulty prevents young people from getting married. This is of course part of the...

The concept of the rocket is based on autophagic, or "self-devouring," technology, which was initially proposed by Promin Aerospace's chief technical officer Vitaliy Yemets. In an autophagic rocket, the hull would be used as solid rocket fuel, in addition to other propellants carried on board. For this purpose, the hull material must be both strong enough and have sufficient combustibility. During the rocket's flight, the body is consumed, allowing for a reduction in mass as it travels and leaving no debris once the flight is completed. This advance would enable more efficient and environmentally friendly launches. Over two months, three...

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates nucleocytoplasmic cargo transport. Here, we present a single-particle cryo–electron microscopy reconstruction of the cytoplasmic ring (CR) subunit from the Xenopus laevis NPC at 3.7- to 4.7-angstrom resolution. The structure of an amino-terminal domain of Nup358 has been resolved at 3.0 angstroms, facilitating the identification of five Nup358 molecules in each CR subunit. Our final model of the CR subunit included five Nup358, two Nup205, and two Nup93 molecules in addition to the two previously characterized Y complexes. The carboxyl-terminal fragment of Nup160 served as an organizing center at the vertex of each Y complex....
