Biden’s new campaign theme for the midterms: economic darkness, darkness. Well, this is one way to get inflation under control … crash the economy.

This week’s results include a holiday adjustment to account for early closings the Friday before Independence Day. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 4 percent from one week earlier.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, TURKEY ISLAND, July 2, 1862. The following is an account of the battles fought in front of Richmond on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, being the fifth, sixth and seventh days of the engagement. On Sunday morning, the corps of Gen. SUMNER and Gen. FRANKLIN were left in the works at Fair Oaks, with instructions to evacuate, and protect the baggage and supply trains on their way to James River.

e year was 1748, the place was Philadelphia, and the book was The Instructor, a popular British manual for everything from arithmetic to letter-writing to caring for horses’ hooves. Benjamin Franklin had set himself to adapting it for the American colonies. Though Franklin already had a long and successful career by this point, he needed to find a way to convince colonial book-buyers—who for the most part didn’t even formally study arithmetic—that his version of George Fisher’s textbook was worth the investment. Franklin made all sorts of changes throughout the book, from place names to inserting colonial histories, but he...

Back in 2013, then-MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry drew attention to the abortion-on-demand crowd in Texas by putting on a pair of tampon earrings in the middle of her show. Harris-Perry is now host of a national public-radio show called The Takeaway out of WNYC Radio in New York. On Thursday, Harris-Perry energetically compared the Dobbs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade to the Dred Scott fugitive-slave decision of 1857. It came in a segment titled “Reproductive Coercion is an American Cornerstone.” She introduced her critical race theory of abortion this way: HARRIS-PERRY: Missouri became the first state in the nation to...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which gave people the constitutional right to an abortion, leaders in Nashville began racing to work around Tennessee’s abortion ban.

We are...

Wichita, KS – According to Operation Rescue’s first-hand investigation, over 49 abortion clinics have either halted abortions or have been forced to close their doors altogether since last Friday when the U.S. Supreme Court released its decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The decision effectively overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) and its companion case Casey v. Planned Parenthood (1992), placing the issue of abortion in the hands of the states. More abortion mills will close in the coming days and weeks as state laws go into effect. Although efforts are being made in some states to...

As a result of his domestic war on the oil and gas industry, energy prices for American families continue to hit records with no relief in sight. For months, President Joe Biden has repeatedly tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and claimed it was helping to ease the pain at the pump. Not only has the depletion of the emergency supply not decreased gas prices, we're learning the supply is being sold to foreign countries. "More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency oil reserves release aimed at lowering domestic fuel prices were exported...
