Russia's dominance in the global nuclear fuel market presents another massive challenge for Washington, especially the liberal hawks in the Biden administration, who are trying to wean Western countries off Russian energy supplies.Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said President Biden is redoubling efforts to break the US reliance on Russian nuclear fuel, indicating domestic uranium-enrichment capacity could be increased with upcoming key legislation.

“In so many of the little places of everyday life in which life is lived out, somehow democracy doesn't exist. And one of the creeping hands of totalitarianism running through the democracy is the Federal Bureau of Investigation… Because why does the FBI do all this?

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain‘s wife, Monica Medina, has been selected as President Joe Biden‘s newly-created Special Envoy for Biodiversity and Water Resources. To steal a tongue-in-cheek phrase from New England radio legend Howie Carr, Medina was “chosen after a nationwide search,” I’m sure. We actually don’t know because the State Department refused to say. When asked point blank if there was a nationwide search process, a State Department spokesperson skirted the question and instead claimed this wasn’t a new position at all. “The Special Envoy for Biodiversity and Water Resources is not a new position but rather...

I am absolutely blown away that Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman is up in the polls. I haven’t been following the race that closely, but Dr Oz must be a mighty bad candidate to be losing to a Democrat who can barely speak. Especially in a state that has been trending Red. Pennsylvania is still competitive, but in a likely Red wave election this seat should be in the bag for Republicans.Of course, the polls could be wrong and the prevailing narrative off. I am actually inclined to believe that, if for no other reason that Biden is doing so...

However, have you ever wondered what it’s like to do yoga in space?

Cannon on Thursday overruled an order by Special Master Raymond Dearie that said former President Donald Trump needed to provide any "final" objections or disputes regarding the items seized by the FBI during its unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago last month.
