The American military is peddling critical race theory, white shaming, queer theory, and left-wing activism to children in its K–12 military schools. The U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) runs 160 schools on military bases across the globe serving more than 69,000 children of military personnel. It employs thousands of teachers. The DoD’s military base education budget exceeds $3.2 billion. This education system allows for easy transfer from one base to another, but it also allows for central command to dictate changes in curricular emphasis and direction. Tom Brady, the system’s director, created a new division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion...

After 36 years in Congress, all of it on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I can confidently say this is the most transformative session of Congress for our transportation system since President Eisenhower established the Interstate Highway System. Let’s review the tape. Last fall we passed the historic bipartisan infrastructure law. This transformational legislation provides $660 billion for transportation—the largest ever one-time infusion of federal funds into our nation’s transportation system. It will provide over $400 billion in funding for roads, bridges, and major multimodal projects. In my state of Oregon alone, that means over $3.7 billion to rebuild and...

The Democrat was in Boston for an address deliberately set to echo John F. Kennedy's famous 1962 'Moonshot speech' in which he called for landing an American on the lunar surface -- something achieved in 1969. This time, Biden is pushing for government-backed efforts to coordinate and fund a multilayered fight against cancer, with the goal of halving cancer death rates in the next 25 years. As he set off from Washington, Biden issued an order meant to bolster the trailblazing US biotech sector's efforts to take on growing commercial rivals in China. The order brings federal support for 'areas...

The mother was able to provide FCSO with the tampered medication...

The two men are seen rolling a flatbed filled with 13 postal trays used to transfer ballots in Detroit, 3 large (heavy) storage containers, and a large...

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus is amazed at a Roman centurion’s faith: "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." How often the Bible compels us to meditate on the meaning of faith! We might say that the Scriptures rest upon faith, remain inspired at every turn by the spirit of faith. Faith is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to what God will reveal, do, and invite. It should be obvious that, in dealing with the infinite, all-powerful God, we are never in control. One of the most fundamental...

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had trash thrown at him and was booed by some fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as he left the field with an injury Sunday night. Prescott left the game amid a flurry of boos during the game's 4th quarter due to a thumb injury, which will likely sideline him for at least six weeks, according to ESPN. Some fans at the game who were upset with the quarterback expressed their frustration by pelting him with trash. Earlier this year, fans at the stadium threw trash at referees and players at the end of...

Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios Illustration of a beer tap dripping droplets of beer. The U.S. is experiencing a shortage of carbon dioxide and Boston beermakers are beginning to worry they won't have enough of the gas to get their products to market. Driving the news: A CO2 production hub in Jackson, Mississippi, became contaminated by an extinct volcano, which cut down on an already limited supply of the gas. The pandemic put pressure on the CO2 market and drove up prices in part due to the immense amount of dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) needed to transport COVID-19 vaccines last...

Officers first received a call from the concerned family relative around 1:40 am Monday, and were told that the mother may have drowned the three children, NBC News reported. Authorities later visited a local apartment complex, where they encountered a man who claimed to be the children’s father and expressed similar concerns to the other family member, the outlet continued. The mother was found on the boardwalk, barefoot and soaking wet, with some family but not her children,...

There is currently no confirmed place for former U.S. President Donald Trump to join the mourners at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II next week in London, the White House said Monday. Only heads of state and their spouses or partners will be invited – meaning Joe Biden and his wife Jill will be among those attending the historic service in Westminster Abbey.

The gubernatorial race in New York is heating up as the Republican nominee for governor, Rep. Lee Zeldin, is only six points away from Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul in the most recent poll from co/efficient. The poll, taken two months before the election, showed Hochul ahead by only six points. Forty-nine percent of the respondents said they would vote to elect the incumbent governor, and 43 percent said they would vote for Zeldin, who currently represents Eastern Long Island in the House. Eight percent said they were undecided. A similar number of respondents viewed each candidate favorably, but Hochul had...

A World on FireEvery day, news reporters, traders, and workers of all sorts the world over wake to do their work as they always have. Part of that requires that everyone pretend that life is normal, fixable, and more or less stable. All of this is temporary. It will come and go and really not be that bad. Strange, isn’t it? Human beings have a hard time adjusting to disaster, in their decision-making and even in their mindset. Reporters have to do their jobs as they are trained. Traders too. Everyone does. They please their bosses. They don’t sound alarms....

You can normally expect Russian state TV's flagship weekly news programme to trumpet Kremlin successes. But yesterday's edition opened with a rare admission. "On the frontlines of the special operation [in Ukraine], this has been the toughest week so far," declared sombre-looking anchor Dmitry Kiselev. "It was particularly tough along the Kharkiv front, where following an onslaught by enemy forces that outnumbered ours, [Russian] troops were forced to leave towns they had previously liberated." For "liberated", read "seized". Moscow had occupied those areas months ago, but after a lightning counter-offensive by the Ukrainian army, the Russian military has lost considerable...

President Joe Biden on Monday claimed progress on bringing inflation down, even as the cost of groceries keeps rising. “We’re seeing hopeful signs of progress on inflation as well,” Biden said, adding that “inflation eased in July.” Biden spoke about inflation during a speech at Boston’s Logan airport on Monday afternoon. He celebrated falling gas prices but did not mention the rising cost of groceries. He insisted that Americans should trust him to handle the issue of inflation, calling it his “top economic priority.” “The American people should have confidence that we’re on the right track, that we’re seeing real...

No one has to tell you about the Jan 6 protest. However, there was absolutely no chance the protest was going to change a thing whether they were able to stop the count or not. I know no one who would ever take it seriously. The big lie from the left is that somehow it would have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. It would not have and no one in their right mind would suggest otherwise. But there was another, quieter conspiracy insurrection that was far more devious and evil and it succeeded. In the end, it changed...
