According to a new NBC News poll, the number of Republicans who prefer backing former president Donald Trump over the Republican Party has increased by 7 points. The National Review reported that this increase has taken place over the course of May to August. This newly published poll revealed that 41% of Republicans back Trump more than the GOP. By contrast, 50% support the party more than they support Trump. Though three months ago, 58% of Republicans supported the party more than Trump. There is now a clear pro-Trump trend inside of the GOP, which reflects a growing sense of...

United Nations Now Claims to “Own the Science”The United Nations claims that they ‘own the science.’ For this reason, they have partnered with the Big Tech platforms to manipulate search results, and they are pouring vast quantities of money into globalist media outlets to ensure their version of “the science” is the one that we get to read. The state is from United Nations’ global communications representative Melissa Fleming, who spoke on a World Economic Forum disinformation panel on Sept 28, 2022. A transcript of that clip reads:We partnered with Google, for example. If you Google climate change, at the...

Climate change isn’t viewed as a major contributing factor for high prices right now, but as severe weather events increase in frequency and devastate industries that contribute to the U.S. economy, experts warn it increasingly will be if temperatures keep rising. Severe weather events, like hurricanes, wildfires and droughts, devastate entire communities while costing billions to rebuild. It also affects industry, from energy to transportation and agriculture, leading to a significant rise in food costs for millions. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week while speaking in North Carolina that climate change can manifest itself in “acute, weather-related supply shocks,”...

Former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik told Newsmax on Saturday that he wouldn't be surprised if former President Donald Trump were arrested in the days before the November election."I would have said [I didn't believe it could happen] until the morning I heard that the FBI had raided the former president's residence," Kerik said on Newsmax's "The Count.""This Department of Justice, this FBI, you know what? No one knows because it's been weaponized. It's politically corrupt."And now, Kerik says it would not surprise him if Trump is arrested five or six days before Election Day, which falls on Nov....

Russia loses even more prominence in the sky. The International Civil Aviation Organization, a UN agency dedicated to studying the problems of the sector as well as promoting unique regulations and standards for world aeronautics, resolved yesterday to expel Russia from its governing body. The decision was made yesterday, during one of the days of its General Assembly that is being held in Montreal, Canada. The invasion of Ukraine and the collateral effects of this action have been the compelling arguments for a decision unprecedented since the founding of ICAO in 1944. Russia needed a minimum of 86 votes to...

Just what everyone was totally asking for: Queer romantic storylines in classic children's cartoons. Wait, no one asked for this except the weird LGBT community adults who can't escape living in perpetual childhood. Either way, the writers of the newest Scooby-Doo reboot "Trick-Or-Treat Scooby Doo" have decided to tarnish the legacy of one of Hanna-Barbera's most iconic shows. "You know what we need in this Halloween talking-dog detective show? A lesbian romance storyline!" How does this happen, except for the entire leftist agenda is to sexualize and pervert all things good? That's their goal, to gay all the things. Ruh-roh!

U.S. job openings dropped sharply in August, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday, falling at the fastest one-month pace since March 2020. Businesses still hired employees at a steady pace and kept layoffs near historic lows in August, according to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover report. But firms also cut back their postings for open jobs, a possible sign of businesses bracing for an economic slowdown. The number of open jobs listed in the U.S. fell from 11.2 million in July to 10.1 million in August, a decline of 1.1 million job openings, according to the Labor Department....

After the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was rebuked by the House Jan. 6 Select Committee chairman for concerns about 2020 election integrity, former President Donald Trump came to Ginni Thomas' defense Friday."Congratulations to Ginni Thomas for having the courage of her convictions," Trump wrote in a Save America PAC statement posted to Truth Social. "Most importantly, she is right. The election was rigged and stolen, and everyone knows it — especially the radical left Democrats who are destroying our country."Cheating on elections is the only thing they do really well, and that's because weak Republicans and RINOs...

Ukraine is readying evacuation centers in its capital city of Kyiv in preparation for a potential nuclear attack following warnings from Russian President Vladimir Putin that his country would take every necessary action to claim victory. Putin recently threatened that Russia would not hesitate to deploy nuclear weapons against what he called “a threat to the territorial integrity of our country.” The preparations come following Russia’s escalatory move in the war to annex parts of occupied Ukraine following referenda in each of the areas. The votes were viewed by a large swath of the international community as illegitimate and Ukraine’s...

The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not hear a challenge brought by conservative commentator Candace Owens over her complaints against “fact checkers” on Facebook and her opinion about the COVID-19 death count.

an image of uranus taken using the keck observatory. The planet appears to glow blue against the darkness, with thin, gossamer rings wrapped vertically around its middle Uranus as imaged by the Keck Observatory. (Lawrence Sromovsky, University of Wisconsin-Madison/W.W. Keck Observatory) Uranus marches to the beat of its own weird little drum. Although it shares many similarities with our Solar System's other ice giant, Neptune, it has a bunch of quirks that are all its own. And one of these is impossible to miss: Its rotational axis is so skewed it may as well be lying down. That's a whopping...

A leading Republican said the Chinese communist regime is using American technology to develop its new weapons systems, and leveraging predatory international deals to secure access to vital trade infrastructure. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said that Chinese weapons, including the hypersonic missile tested by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) last year, have been built using American technology. “What’s probably the biggest highlighted example of this? The hypersonic missile,” McCaul said during a fireside chat with the Atlantic Council, a D.C.-based think tank. “The weapon that we saw China launch with great precision … and can actually carry a nuclear warhead.”...

Amid a megadrought plaguing the American West, more rural communities are losing access to groundwater as heavy pumping depletes underground aquifers that aren’t being replenished by rain and snow.

The conversion occurred at room temperature and pressure, which could allow methane, a potent greenhouse gas, to be utilized to make fuel. The new method converts methane gas into liquid methanol. A team of researchers has successfully converted methane into methanol using light and scattered transition metals such as copper in a process known as photo-oxidation. The reaction was the best achieved to date for converting methane gas into liquid fuel at ambient temperature and pressure (25 °C and 1 bar, respectively), according to a study published in the journal Chemical Communications. The term bar as a pressure unit comes...

The Gallup Party ID Index has been historically one of the most accurate predictors of the House Popular Vote over the past eight years. This year, as of right now, they clock in Republicans with a four point lead over Democrats (48-44). I analyze how big this is for this November.

“You’re a homophobe, now buy my product” is not the best sales pitch in the world, but when you’ve got nothing else you go with it because when you’re as dumb as a hammer, everything is a nail. That’s a confusing and convoluted opening sentence, but I wrote it on purpose to illustrate a point – leftists hate you AND desperately want your money and can’t come to terms with that. Return the first and deny the second, leaving them to continue to wrestle with the third. Americans are pretty good at not giving money to people who hold them...

Dhaka (AFP) – At least 130 million people in Bangladesh were left without power on Tuesday after a grid failure caused widespread blackouts, the government's power utility company said. Bangladesh has suffered a major power crisis in recent months as a result of higher global energy prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and has imposed regular cuts to conserve electricity. But it remained unclear what caused Tuesday's unscheduled blackout, which hit more than 80 percent of the country shortly after 2:00 pm (0800 GMT), according to the Power Development Board. Apart from some locations in Bangladesh's northwest, "the rest of...

he Federal Reserve’s aggressive tightening policy has led the US dollar to appreciate to multi-decade highs, squashing currencies around the world. Now, a United Nations agency is warning that its actions, along with those of other central banks, risk pushing the global economy into recession. What’s happening: In a new report, the United Nations Conference on Trade Development (UNCTAD) said that tightening monetary policy, meant to fight inflation, could inflict worse damage globally than the financial crisis in 2008 and the Covid-19 shock in 2020.

Congresswoman Liz Cheney is slated to speak at Arizona State University’s McCain Institute on Wednesday after she made remarks last month saying she would like to work against Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

Between 11 June and 9 September 2022, 788 HPAI virus detections were reported in 16 EU/EEA countries and the United Kingdom with 56 in poultry, 22 and 710 in captive and wild birds, respectively. The unusual persistence in wild birds continued throughout the summer and occurred in 15 European countries. The virus reached sea bird breeding colonies on the north Atlantic coast, causing massive mortality, particularly in Germany, France, Netherlands, and the UK. Heavily infected wild birds presented an ongoing risk of infection for domestic birds too. From June to September, the number of outbreaks in domestic birds declined compared...
