Former Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette called on her base to support the party’s nominee, Mehmet Oz, in his campaign to defeat Democrat candidate John Fetterman. “First, I hear you on the principles but let’s cut to the chase in politics here,” talk radio host David Webb said. “Are you working and encouraging your base, your substantial base, which could be the difference between a Republican loss in Pennsylvania and a Republican win?” “Absolutely. And this is not new. This is something I’ve been doing for some time now,” Barnette told Webb. “I have made it very clear,...

An NYU chemistry professor who claimed he was fired after students complained that his class was too hard said colleges “coddle” students instead of helping them succeed with “tough love.” Maitland Jones Jr. taught at the expensive Manhattan private school for 15 years before he was canned ahead of the fall semester after a student petition alleged that his organic chemistry class was too difficult to pass. “Organic chemistry is a difficult and important course,” he wrote in an op-ed published in the Boston Globe Thursday. “Those of us who teach it aim to produce critical thinkers, future diagnosticians, and...

Norwegian officials warned Thursday that there could be more arrests after at least seven Russians — including the son of a close associate of President Vladimir Putin — were detained in recent weeks for flying drones or taking pictures near sensitive areas, prompting an investigation by the domestic intelligence service. Norway and other countries are moving to secure critical infrastructure in the wake of the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines. Since then, drone sightings have been reported in Norway’s vast offshore oil and gas fields and at Norwegian airports. On Wednesday, Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Store,...

KYIV, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Russia has hit at least half of Ukraine's thermal generation capacity and caused billions of dollars of damage in attacks since Oct. 10, but not all stricken power units have stopped working completely, Ukraine's energy minister said on Friday. Herman Halushchenko told Reuters in an interview that 30-40% of overall national power infrastructure had been hit in attacks that he depicted as intended to destroy Ukraine's energy system -- a goal that he said had not been achieved.

President Biden declared in a speech Wednesday it was a "myth" that his administration has slowed oil production or made it harder for energy companies to increase production. That didn't sit well with former Keystone XL pipeline welder Neal Crabtree, who was among hundreds of workers laid off hours after the president canceled the federal permit for the pipeline on his first day in office, Jan. 20, 2021. The project would have transported 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada to Texas. In addition, on day one, Biden placed a temporary moratorium on oil and gas activity in the...

A former Kentucky appeals court judge and one-time gubernatorial candidate died in a house fire Thursday after heroically saving his wife, authorities said. Former judge Tom Emberton, 90, sprang into action after his home in the city of Edmonton went up in flames around 3:30 a.m. “He heroically rescued his wife and got her to safety,” Edmonton Mayor Doug Smith told local ABC affiliate WBKO. “Then he went back in to save his home and lost his life,” the mayor said. Emberton ran for governor of Kentucky in 1971 and was appointed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1987....

Police had their weapons drawn as they ordered Nick Wright and his 13-year-old daughter to put their hands on the hood of the car they had rented less than an hour earlier. “I couldn’t see my daughter for most of the situation, so I felt completely helpless,” Wright said. “I was being detained with my fingers locked behind my head and police telling me to shut up. It was surreal.” Wright and his daughter were on vacation and had just landed at Savannah airport. They’d rented the car about 30 minutes before officers stopped them.

President Donald Trump delivered another rebuke of Mitch McConnell Monday due to his continued opposition of certain MAGA Republican candidates and policies.In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Just read in, of all places, The New York Times, that the Broken Old Crow, Mitch McConnell, has lost every single time to me in his cherished Senate races.” “I am 42-0 over the last two cycles,” Trump added. The 45th president also explained he has, “never even tried to run up the score by opposing Todd Young of Indiana, or John Thune of South Dakota – They may be RINO’s,...

Most state legislative primary defeats in over a decade A total of 229 legislators—4.7% of those who ran for re-election—lost in primary elections this year, up 46% compared to 2020.

Of the 2,568 Republicans who ran for re-election, 6.2% lost. That’s compared to 3.0% of the 2,271 Democrats who ran. With this increase, we decided to put together a page cataloging each defeat: who won, who lost, and margin of defeat. We also looked for...

WI v. Darrell Brooks - Waukesha Parade Trial Day 12

We’ve been reporting on Joe Biden’s inability to take being challenged since he started running for office in 2019. When anyone presents questions or facts that he doesn’t want to deal with, he has frequently lost it on people including cursing at voters and insulting reporters. Just in the past day, Biden has snapped at a reporter who dared to ask him whether his releasing 15 million more barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was a political move to help the Democrats in the election. Then when Fox’s Peter Doocy asked him about what was his top domestic priority —...

I do a lot of speaking on election integrity. I say frequently –while there are endless problems with the security of our elections – I don’t believe the Chinese “hacked” the 2020 election. Maybe I was wrong. number of weeks ago True the Vote broke the story that a company called Konnech in Michigan was storing data on American election workers on servers in China. True the Vote leaders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were, of course, ridiculed by the so-called mainstream press. Then, Los Angeles arrested the head of Konnech and charged him with violations of U.S. laws on...

A recent New York Times poll revealed that 49% of likely voters are saying they would vote Republican, while 45% chose Democrats.The NYT, which is the foremost Democrat mouthpiece, obviously laments these outcomes.As always when the Democrats lose, they do not introspect; instead the voter is blamed for being either ignorant or bigoted, or both.The NYT carried a piece titled, "Voters See Democracy in Peril, but Saving It Isn’t a Priority".The following is a key excerpt:"More than a third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the...

In its new report on the outlook for the global economy, the International Monetary Fund confirmed a slowdown for 2022 and was pessimistic about 2023. In identifying the causes of the gloomier forecast, the IMF highlighted Russia’s war in Ukraine, pandemic-related supply disruptions and high inflation expectations.Stagnation, anxiety and rising prices are a recipe for social and political instability. Concern is especially focused on the European Union and whether the bloc can remain united as it confronts these challenges. In times of crisis, the incentives for zero-sum thinking will strengthen, and weak national leaders will be tempted to name scapegoats...

The Western media for decades has hailed Vladimir Putin as a great strategist. But if the past eight months have proved one thing, it’s that this strategic wizard often achieves the opposite of his intentions. ...Mr. Putin should look to history. During World War I, Russian authorities tried to conscript Muslims from Central Asia. The result was a major uprising in summer 1916, which took months and tens of thousands of Russian troops to suppress. In the end, none of the Muslims were sent to battle—and, by withdrawing army units from the front to confront the internal uprising, Russia expedited...

When Joe Biden took up residency in the White House, he canceled President Trump's border security plans. Or at least he tried to. One definite order from the Democrat was that there would be no more border fence construction projects, which left border states where fences were incomplete in the lurch. So Arizona decided to take up the project itself, and has lined up disused shipping containers, topped with barbed wire, as border barriers. And its officials say they're not likely to take them away just because the Biden administration doesn't like them. It's a report from Fox News that...
