President Joe Biden’s administration wants the United States to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 — and a big part of that plan involves a switchover to electric vehicles. EVs, we’re told, are the way of the future. Gone are worries about “range anxiety,” we’re told. These vehicles can put in some serious miles on a single charge — and the government’s building more charging infrastructure along the highways every day.

It was a piece of news so obscure and implausible that I missed it when it first surfaced last month. The news was that the Russians are going to put hypersonic nuclear missiles into Nicaragua and terrify the Americans into backing down over Ukraine. Or kill them all if they don’t.“If American missile systems can nearly reach Moscow from Ukrainian territory, it’s time for Russia to roll out something powerful closer to the American ‘city on a hill,’” Olga Skabeyeva said on the news show on “Rossiya-1,” the most popular Russian TV channel.Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega published a decree last...

Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, said Sunday that in 10 years there won't be any supporters of former President Donald Trump left in the United States. His comment came during an interview on ABC's This Week after he was asked about Republicans' views on the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The congressman sits on the House select committee that is investigating last year's riot, which has been holding a series of public hearings in recent weeks. "There's a lot of recent polling showing that the number of Republicans over the last year who view this...

Can you imagine what it would be like to literally starve to death? Most Americans believe that if a nuclear war with Russia actually happens the vast majority of the U.S. population will be instantly wiped out. But that is not what the science says. What the studies have shown is that only about 20 percent of the U.S. population will be instantly killed during a nuclear exchange. If you live near a military base or some other highly strategic target you will probably be among that 20 percent. Otherwise, it is likely that you will starve to death during...

Former President Donald Trump went hard against Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski at a rally in her home state of Alaska on Saturday, denouncing her as being “worse than a Democrat.”Campaigning for several candidates in the state, including Murkowski’s challenger Kelly Tshibaka, the former president said Murkowski was a “lousy senator” who hails from the Washington swamp, citing her opposition to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court and her eventual confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.“She’s a total creature of the Washington swamp but much worse than that and a tool of a corrupt establishment, the likes of which...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Elizabeth Warren has decided to take matters into her own hands in the war against crisis pregnancy centers, personally smacking free resources away from pregnant women when they leave. "Not today, paleface!" shouted Ms. Warren as she tackled a pregnant mom, wrestling away her prenatal vitamins. "And what are these, free ultrasound pictures? How dare they!" she continued, ripping apart the pictures in front of the woman. "Always remember how I just saved you from pregnancy center abuse!" Senator Warren has declared an all-out crusade against crisis pregnancy centers, accusing them of not offering to kill...

It probably shouldn't surprise anyone that denizens of the 4Chan anonymous bulletin board claim to have hacked into Hunter Biden's cellphone cloud account and are busy posting its pervy pictures. According to the Washington Examiner: The contents of Hunter Biden's iCloud account have allegedly been hacked by users of the 4chan community, who posted screenshots purported to be from his phone and computer on the website's main political forum late Saturday night. Administrators on the image board moved quickly in the hours after the content was posted to pull down threads that included materials from the alleged leak, leaving many...

Dr. Mehmet Oz had a tumultuous trip to the GOP nomination to become the next senator from Pennsylvania. One of his primary opponents, Kathy Barnette, has stupidly and stubbornly refused to endorse him. Yet, for the most part, his critics (including me) have done the smart thing and let the chips fall. Once Oz became the nominee, he became exponentially preferable to his Democrat opponent, John Fetterman.Yet, while the spotlight has remained on Oz, with much second-guessing about how well he’s running his campaign, perhaps the attention should turn towards Fetterman? We know he had a stroke and has a...

Over the weekend, a mass of angry Sri Lankan citizens swarmed the presidential palace over an absolute economic collapse in the country, forcing the nation’s prime minister to resign and leading to more civil unrest.There has been a lot of talk over the country’s struggles, but ultimately a lot of the blame comes down to western environmental activism taking hold of the country’s policies and encouraging Sri Lanka to switch how it grows its own food. This has led to smaller crop yields, a massive increase in importing food, and plenty of angry citizens.The problem in Sri Lanka comes from...

President Biden was heckled on the White House lawn Monday by gun control advocate Manuel Oliver, whose 17-year-old son Joaquin was killed in a 2018 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla. “Sit down! You’ll hear what I have to say,” Biden said as Oliver shouted over him during a celebration of bipartisan gun policy legislation that Biden signed last month. Oliver’s remarks weren’t clearly audible on pooled video feeds, but Biden pushed back and defended his record on gun control. “We have one. Let me finish my comments,” Biden said to Oliver, before quickly adding, “Let him...

MEMORIAL OF SAINT BENEDICT, ABBOT MATTHEW 10:34—11:1 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus lays down the conditions for discipleship: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” There is a line from the illuminator of the St. John’s Bible that states: “We have to love our way...

(Translation) Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Iris Cardona indicated that some additional monkeypox cases in Puerto Rico were due to dating apps. “The United States already has over 700 cases, but analysis of the first 300 identified the majority being men. Most of them had the number-one epidemiological criterion, that being participating in activities involving intimate contact, very close or sexual contact, any of the two, particularly men having sex with men, and also invitations on the different platforms within social media to meet people and engage in very close relations or close contact with these people who...
