BRADDOCK, Pa. — Tony Lundy is sitting on one of three chrome stools at Hocky Brothers auto parts store on Braddock Avenue, waiting to find out how much it will cost to fix his car. Dressed in work clothes from the plant he works at nine miles down the river in Pittsburgh, the 61-year-old has called Braddock home for most of his life. Lundy fondly recalls growing up as one of 13 children surrounded by this once-vibrant community. “The town was the place to be,” Lundy said. “Braddock Avenue had four or five businesses on every block on both sides...

The West should announce it will cut off all military support for Ukraine and they should yield the Donbas to Russia since that has been Russian Territory for centuries, for Zelensky is out of his mind. This is a TV comedian who neither appreciates life nor the fact that he is pushing the entire world into war all for his demands. Ukraine needs to replace his idiot with someone who is rational and understands that in every war, ALWAYS there are more civilian deaths than soldiers. He never changes his shirt all to pretend he is at war, hiding in...

Reports are coming in from a protest in Moscow against the United States after the Ukrainian attack upon the Crimea Bridge Saturday. Russians are calling for nuking Washington DC. No matter what country you go to, there is always going to be a pro-government and an anti-government position. The Ukrainian propaganda keeps claiming that some sort of revolution against Putin and he has ordered the arrest of military officers. But there are no independent sources that verify anything being put out by Ukraine, which tends to be fake news on so many levels. They will continue to wage a propaganda...

The Church of EveryoneWhy so many Catholics are leaving.Pope Francis recently called for a “Church open to everyone.” Nothing new here. The Church has always been open to everyone—including sinners. The Church has always acknowledged that it is “a Church of sinners.”But when Francis says “open to everyone” he seems to have something else in mind. Traditionally, when Catholics spoke of a “Church of sinners” it was understood to mean repentant sinners: people who were sorry for their sins and were trying their best to sin no more.By contrast, what Francis and other woke/progressive Catholics seems to mean is “proud...

President Joe Biden’s tentative railroad union deal fell apart on Monday after a freight rail workers union rejected it, raising fears of a looming strike. The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the Teamsters rejected the deal on the grounds that management refused to offer paid time off to workers for sickness or family emergencies. “Railroaders are discouraged and upset with working conditions and compensation and hold their employer in low regard. Railroaders do not feel valued,” Union President Tony D. Cardwell said in a statement. “Railroaders do not feel valued. They resent the fact that management holds...

Vladimir Putin’s decision to mobilize reserves for the war in Ukraine has stirred feelings around the world. The former politician and Russian opposition leader Gennady Gudkov posted an aerial view of a 15-lane desert highway with a traffic jam pushing into the horizon. “I am being told,” Gudkov wrote, “this is the [Russian] border with Mongolia on September 22. Be sure to zoom in to examine the picture.” Multiple large vehicles, perhaps buses, were mingled among sedans, suggesting that we are witnessing some sort of mass evacuation of Russians unwilling to serve in Ukraine. A day earlier I saw the...

The Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF), a French state-owned railroad operator, came to California in hopes of helping the state build a high-speed rail system from Los Angeles to San Francisco but left for North Africa in 2011 because the region was 'less politically dysfunctional' than the Golden State. Within 7 years, they built a functioning high-speed rail system in Morocco, the New York Times reported. California sought to have the first high-speed rail system in the country, but a new report from the Times showed political disagreement on the train's route slowed the ambitious project to...

During his speech, US President Joseph Biden used one word to describe America. However, no one seems to know what it means, not even himself.

Explanation: What dark structures arise within the Pelican Nebula? On the whole, the nebula appears like a bird (a pelican) and is seen toward the constellation of a different bird: Cygnus, a Swan. But inside, the Pelican Nebula is a place lit up by new stars and befouled by dark dust. Smoke-sized dust grains start as simple carbon compounds formed in the cool atmospheres of young stars but are dispersed by stellar winds and explosions. Two impressive Herbig-Haro jets are seen emitted by the star HH 555 on the right, and these jets are helping to destroy the light year-long...

Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday, but the Republican mayor of that city wasn’t there. He was not out of town – this was no ordinary snub. He was in Paradise Valley, which is about 10 miles northwest of Mesa, just on the other side of Scottsdale. And he was campaigning. A high-profile GOP event featuring the party’s titular head could not find a place on the calendar of GOP Mayor John Giles. He was at an event that he found more pressing. “There is a rally in Mesa, Arizona, today, featuring some well-known...

Russian gas supplies to Italy via Austria resumed, bringing some temporary relief to gas prices in Europe.

Joe Scarborough's masculinity is so fragile that he needs to repeatedly brag about his toughness on national TV. Back in June, we caught Scarborough boasting that he would beat up Capitol tourists if he caught them taking pictures. The subject today was Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance. At a recent Trump rally with Vance in Ohio, the former president told the crowd “J.D. is kissing my ass he wants my support so bad." Scarborough chose to open his Morning Joe show on Tuesday with a long rant about how he wouldn't tolerate anyone who tried to "emasculate" him.Get the rest...
