The swamp is getting greedy these days. Foremost among the numerous catastrophes that Joe Biden has presided over is inflation, which has risen to a 40-year high. This has caused prices of fuel, energy, food, and all everyday commodities to skyrocket, wreaking irreparable havoc on the budgets of regular people. Most citizens have no option but to postpone or even cancel purchases they can avoid. However, these hassles seldom apply to the denizens of Washington, D.C. The Daily Caller reported that Democrats such as House majority whip James Clyburn of South Carolina and Connecticut rep. Jahana Hayes are using their...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will travel to Massachusetts on Wednesday to promote his efforts to combat climate change but will stop short of issuing an emergency declaration that would unlock federal resources to deal with the issue, according to a person familiar with the president’s plans. Biden has been under pressure to issue an emergency declaration after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. During his visit to Somerset, Mass., Biden could announce other steps on climate change but the White House has not released details. The president has been trying to signal to...

The FBI said last year it did not find evidence of a conspiracy behind the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, according to insiders. And now, after intensive investigation by the partisan House select committee, Democrats who assert that then-President Trump conspired to "overturn the election" and maintain power by creating a riot so far have come up short, according to a Democratic senator. On Sunday, ABC News veteran political reporter Martha Raddatz, guest hosting "This Week," asked Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., about possible criminal charges stemming from the Jan. 6 probe and the issues "that still...

Methanol was found in all of their bodies and investigations are continuing to determine whether the levels of the toxic chemical were enough to have killed them. “Methanol has been detected in all the 21 individuals that were there, however there is still progressive analysis of the quantitative levels of methanol and whether it could have been the final cause of death,” Dr. Litha Matiwane, Eastern Cape provincial deputy director for clinical service, said at press conference in East London Tuesday.

A pizza delivery man who dashed into a burning building and pulled four children from certain death before jumping out a window with a fifth has been hailed as a hero. The firemen's body camera video shows what an extremely dangerous situation it was.

A dog’s brain is wired for smell. Now, a new map shows just how extensive that wiring is. Powerful nerve connections link the dog nose to wide swaths of the brain, researchers report July 11 in the Journal of Neuroscience. One of these canine connections, a hefty link between areas that handle smell and vision, hasn’t been seen before in any species, including humans. The results offer a first-of-its-kind anatomical description of how dogs “see” the world with their noses. The new brain map is “awesome, foundational work,” says Eileen Jenkins, a retired army veterinarian and expert on working dogs....

There have been a dozen major Marburg outbreaks since 1967, mostly in southern and eastern Africa. Fatality rates have varied from 24% to 88% in past outbreaks, according to the World Health Organization. DAKAR — Ghana has officially confirmed two cases of the Marburg virus, a highly infectious disease similar to Ebola, its health service said on Sunday, after two people who later died tested positive for the virus earlier this month. Tests conducted in Ghana came back positive on July 10, but the results had to be verified by a laboratory in Senegal for the cases to be considered...

Jackie Kulback was just one of the Pennsylvania GOP leaders who was worried in May when Doug Mastriano clinched the Republican primary for governor. Mastriano was a MAGA state senator who worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election and Kulback thought he would struggle to win the critical battleground state in the fall. But she’s feeling differently these days. “The higher the gas prices go, the more electable Mastriano is,” said the chair of the Cambria County Republican Party. “Honestly, I feel this is Mastriano’s campaign to lose.” In the immediate aftermath of Pennsylvania’s messy gubernatorial primary — which included...

On the morning of May 3, Abby C. burst into tears when she learned a that leaked draft opinion signaled the U.S. Supreme Court would likely overturn Roe vs. Wade. Before getting out of bed, the 23-year-old booked a consultation to begin the process of getting sterilized. Abby, who did not want to use her last name for privacy reasons, said her previous gynecologist had dismissed her requests, citing her age. But with the leaked opinion throwing the future of reproductive rights into jeopardy, Abby stood firm in her decision. “I ended up telling her, this is the option I...

A crew member working for “Law & Order: Organized Crime’’ was fatally gunned down at the TV show’s Brooklyn set early Tuesday — in a shooting that could have been pulled straight out of the script, authorities said. The victim, a 31-year-old married dad of three, was sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on N Henry Street near Norman Avenue in Greenpoint around 5:15 a.m. when another man suddenly opened the driver’s side door and blasted him, officials said. “It was crazy,’’ said a distraught colleague of the victim, who worked for NBC parking vehicles at the show’s...

President Donald Trump maintains his polling lead over President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 matchup, according to Trafalgar Group polling released Monday. Trump leads Biden by 5 Points (47.9 to 42.6 percent) with 9.6 percent undecided. The survey polled 1085 general election voters from July 11-14 with a 2.9 margin of error. The poll sampled four percent more Democrats (39-35 percent).

Everything is NOT beautiful for the mortgage market. In fact, the 30-year mortgage rate is up 99% since Biden took office as President. Mortgage rates are rising in part thanks to The Federal Reserve trying to control inflation (caused by Biden’s energy policies and spending). But mortgage rates are down slightly today. Bear in mind that REAL wage growth is negative, thanks to Bidenflation. Joe Biden’s policies are a real heartbreaker for millions of Americans. And Jill Biden is the living, loving baby sitter.

UVALDE, TX — After an armed private citizen bravely stopped a mass shooting at an Indiana mall, the Uvalde Police Department in Texas issued a statement of condemnation, criticizing the citizen for not waiting outside for an hour. "This is exactly why we can't have armed citizens taking the law into their own hands," said Uvalde CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo. "We professionals know that the correct procedure is to mill around the hallway and sanitize your hands, or wait outside for an hour until the shooting stops before going in. That's the only way you can ensure nothing bad...

MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance defined Republicans as an “insurgency,” comparing them to multiple terror organizations and suggesting they’d have to be fought to prevent them from “killing” their neighbors. Nance’s explicit calls for a war against Republicans came during a recent episode of the MSNBC talk show “Zerlina,” in which he was promoting his book, “They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency.” Just a normal day over at MSNBC. He began by claiming “30% of the population of the United States” fall under the umbrella of “white extremism,” as evidenced by the...

Charges were dropped Thursday against a New York City bodega worker arrested for the murder of man seen on surveillance video first coming behind the cashier's desk and attacking the employee. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office faced harsh criticism for bringing the charge against Jose Alba earlier this month despite footage suggesting the deadly stabbing was justified as self-defense.

The suspected shooter entered the mall on Sunday carrying a rifle and multiple magazines and opened fire in the food court, killing at least three and injuring three before he was shot to death. Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said the suspected shooter was killed by a "good Samaritan with a handgun." While the armed bystander reportedly had a legal gun permit, the mall's property policy does not permit weapons on...
