The European Union will propose measures to cap revenues from low-cost electricity generators and force fossil fuel firms to share the profits they make from soaring energy prices, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. “In these times it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers. In these times, profits must be shared and channelled to those who need it most," von der Leyen said in a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. A draft of the Commission proposals, seen by Reuters, would skim...

A true crime fan who runs an online account called Checkit TV said he found a laptop and other items belonging to 16-year-old Kiely Rodni in the California lake where her body was found submerged in her car last month. The sleuth, who does not make his name public, claims to have made the discovery while out rowing in the reservoir and dived down to retrieve the items, The Sun reported. The other objects included a duffel bag, hairbrush, charge cord, and gift box. Rodni, an honors student, went missing just after midnight on Aug. 6 after a rowdy end-of-school...

Keene Mayor George Hansel conceded to Hillsborough County Treasurer Robert Burns in the GOP primary for New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District on Wednesday. Although no major outlets have called the race, Burns leads Hansel by 2 percentage points, 32.8% to 30.8%, with 76% of the votes counted. Businesswoman Lily Tang Williams trailed in third place with 25%. Burns, who aligned himself most closely with former President Donald Trump in the race, is slated to face six-term congresswoman Annie Kuster (D) in the general election for the slightly left-leaning seat. "Last night didn't go our way, but I would like to...

“Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, ‘What do you seek?’ They said to Him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour” (John 1:38–39). As Andrew and John walked after Him, “Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, ‘What do you seek?’” He already knew what the two wanted. The Lord asked the question to challenge them to consider their...

When John Durham was assigned by the Justice Department in 2019 to examine the origins of the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, President Donald Trump and his supporters expressed a belief that the inquiry would prove that a “deep state” conspiracy including top Obama-era officials had worked to sabotage him. Now Durham appears to be winding down his three-year inquiry without anything close to the results Trump was seeking. The grand jury that Durham has recently used to hear evidence has expired, and while he could convene another, there are currently no plans to do so,...

It’s September, in an even year. Labor Day has passed. The big mid-terms are less than two months away. It’s time for a pre-election bait and switch on poverty statistics to deceive any low information voters who aren’t paying attention to how the poverty scam works. The poverty scam has been a big topic over the years at this blog, although perhaps less so in the most recent couple of years. This link will take you to all my prior posts on Poverty, some 129 in total. The most important recurring theme has been that the government cynically manipulates the...

As yet unaffected by the slings and arrows of governing, Giorgia Meloni is poised to carry her hard-right Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia) party to victory in Italy’s general election on September 25, putting her in the running to become the country’s first female prime minister. ... The speaker, Giorgia Meloni, is the leader of Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia or FdI), a far-right outfit that has emerged from its south-central power base to become a dominant force all the way up to the Alps. At 45, she is the favourite to become Italy’s first female prime minister after the...

Two recent Senate midterm polls in the key states of Nevada and Georgia both show the Republican challengers leading the Democratic incumbents with less than two months until the November elections. In Nevada, the latest Emerson College Polling/8 News Now/The Hill survey revealed that GOP Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is narrowly ahead of incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto—42 percent to 41 percent. The poll, conducted between September 8 and September 10 among 1,000 likely voters, is only the second time that the Donald Trump-endorsed Laxalt has beaten Cortez Masto in any of the last seven polls, according to FiveThirtyEight's collection...

As the midterm primary season comes to an end, candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump have continued to rack up wins but with a handful of prominent losses. Of the more than 200 Republicans Trump has backed this year, many ran unopposed or faced little-known opponents. He has also waited to make some endorsements until a front-runner emerges, as with his last-minute endorsement of Tudor Dixon for governor of Michigan. Several of his candidates were defeated in early primaries, including in Georgia and North Carolina; more recently, he had a startling loss in a special election in Alaska. But...

Under Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL has become a threat to Jews.September 14, 2022 by Daniel Greenfield 10 CommentsThe latest numbers show that only 1 of the 118 thugs arrested for assaulting Jews in New York City since 2018 was sentenced to actual prison time. While attacks on Jews tripled, the ADL is promoting police defunding in its curriculum. The lesson’s only mention of crime proposes that it can be fought through police defunding by “investing more money in education, health care.”Another high school lesson plan claims that evidence of privilege is parents telling a child “to find a police officer...

The Gini index, a common measure of the inequality between the lowest and highest earners in a society, rose in America for the first time in ten years, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The Gini index, which ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 represents total income equality, rose 1.2% to 0.494 in 2021, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. The increase was driven primarily by a measurable decline in the overall inflation-adjusted earnings of the poorest 10% of American households, with the richest 10% seeing no statistically significant changes in their overall income. The poorest 10% of...

Moderate members of the U.S. House of Representatives are leaving office at twice the rate of their more partisan peers this year, a Reuters analysis found, likely deepening Washington gridlock during President Joe Biden's next two years in office. The number of incumbent House members retiring or who lost a party nomination contest is at a three-decade high after a once-a-decade redistricting process that eliminated more than a dozen of the country's dwindling number of competitive districts. Now all 50 states have finished their nominating contests, 13 of Congress's 50 most centrist members - about one in four - did...

This is the story of racism alive and well in America. Not just any racism — really deep racism. Shocking racism. Racism so bad it is unimaginable. This is the story of a black liberal politician who clearly hates black children. But the great news is: I know how to stop this. More on that in a moment. First, here is the incredible story of horrible black-on-black racism. Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is black, yet she recently demanded that the black schoolchildren of Washington either take the experimental, emergency-use-only COVID-19 vaccine (against their will) or be denied an education....

Delaware's incumbent state auditor Kathy McGuiness lost her Democratic primary in the state’s only contested primary for a statewide office on Tuesday after she was convicted on criminal corruption charges earlier this year. Political newcomer Lydia York, an attorney who was backed by the state Democratic Party in the race, defeated McGuiness and will go on to face Republican Janice Lorrah in November’s general election. The misdemeanor convictions did not bar McGuiness from seeking office under state law, but they, as well as her looming sentencing, cast a pall over her campaign. McGuiness was found guilty of misdemeanors by a...

Fentanyl deaths and drug trafficking are on the rise in Nevada, largely due to President Joe Biden’s open border and Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak’s “soft-on-crime” policies, Republican gubernatorial candidate Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told Breitbart News. “As sheriff, I see the disastrous impact of Biden’s open border policies every single day. Joe Biden’s chaos at the border and Steve Sisolak’s soft-on-crime policies have emboldened drug traffickers and criminals who wish to do harm to our community. Nevadans are paying the price of Biden and Sisolak’s decisions,” Lombardo said. In July alone, 2,071 pounds of fentanyl were seized nationwide, which...
