The Marxists on the California Air Resources Board are looking to ban all gas and diesel trucks. The board boasted about being the first to adopt a rule requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel to electric beginning in 2024. It is unclear how California will charge all of these vehicles when they can’t even keep the lights on during heatwaves and days with gusty winds. There is no infrastructure to support this plan. And what about the logistics? How will trucks be able to stick to their routes when there aren’t enough charging stations? “Many California neighborhoods, especially Black...

Researchers have found that vitamin C supplementation to pregnant women unable to quit smoking significantly improves airway function and respiratory health in their offspring at 5 years of age. While previous studies have shown that vitamin C improves airway function in infants, this is the first study to demonstrate that the improvement in airway function can be maintained through preschool age. "It's important that we have a way to protect the baby's developing lungs, even if their parent is struggling to quit smoking. These findings have identified an accessible, effective way to ensure optimal respiratory health outcomes both in-utero and...

The person accused of massacring five people in a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub was badly battered and covered in bruises from the rampage in new mugshots released Wednesday — after appearing visibly dazed in court. Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22 — who identifies as nonbinary and uses the pronouns they/them — was seen with huge patches of discoloration on their face and neck in the mugshots after they were subdued by two bystanders in the middle of the alleged attack at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub on Saturday. Aldrich was ordered held without bond at their first court appearance Wednesday, where...

If you are expecting dramatic news and pictures from the Donbass, where Allied troops are slowly but inexorably advancing, destroying thousands of Nazis of all Western nationalities and dozens of their military vehicles and piles of their equipment every week, as they liberate towns and villages (all unreported by the Western media), sorry. This is a story from the home front. It is a human story. I hope it brings it all home to you. It is about a small town south of Kiev. Two years ago, Ukrainian (though they are Russians, as far as they are concerned) members of...

A newborn baby has been killed in a Russian missile strike on a maternity unit in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region, emergency services say. The baby's mother, who was the only woman in the facility at the time, and a doctor were rescued from the rubble. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of bringing "terror and murder" to his country. The Zaporizhzhia region, where a key nuclear plant is located, has been the focus of repeated Russian attacks. Ukrainian emergency services said the Russian missiles struck the maternity ward of a hospital in the Ukraine-held town of Vilnyansk, close to the...

The White House’s game-playing over media access to first granddaughter Naomi Biden’s wedding this past weekend has been too much for some reporters to take — with one Washington Post scribe comparing the administration to Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump. WaPo national correspondent Ashley Parker was one of several journalists to express outrage after the press was locked out of Naomi Biden’s “private” wedding — only for Vogue to publish a photo spread of the blushing 28-year-old bride alongside first lady Jill Biden on Tuesday. “I had reporting in [October] about Vogue being tapped to cover this and I was waved...

A Brighton Beach organization started by a Holocaust survivor is giving back by gifting turkeys to Ukrainian mothers who fled the country during the war. A line stood outside the headquarters of the Holocaust Remembrance Association on Neptune Avenue. Most of these recipients were invited to pick up turkeys and pies in preparation for their first American Thanksgiving. "It's our new family," says Alyona Strutovska, who fled Ukraine and is now in America alone. The HRA was founded by Samuel Bykov, a Holocaust survivor, himself from Ukraine, who came to New York in 1979 as a refugee fleeing the Soviet...

Swiss naturopath George Della Pietra has started a new “SafeBlood Donation” service to provide clean, unvaccinated blood for patients needing transfusions. Since the general blood supply is now tainted with “fully vaccinated,” spike protein-laden chemical blood, demand for pure blood is soaring. Pietra apparently saw this as a great opportunity to provide clean blood, which is now more in-demand than ever. Calling the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) mass injection campaign “the crime of the century,” Pietra believes that messenger RNA (mRNA) covid shots “contaminate” the blood and destroy the immune system.

Colorado’s election recount rules could help determine the extent of Republicans’ slim majority in the lower chamber of Congress by deciding the outcome of Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s reelection race against Democrat Adam Frisch. The thin margin in the sprawling 3rd Congressional District, which covers the state’s largely rural western and southern territory, could trigger a rare automatic recount. The Associated Press declared the race too close to call Thursday night with Boebert up by 551 votes out of nearly 327,000 cast and nearly all votes counted. The AP won’t make a call until after the recount, if there is...

Col MacGregor: The military establishment that Putin and his government built in the last 15 to 20 years was designed preeminently to simply defend Russia. It was not designed for any offensive warfare against any neighbors. And I think that we failed to see that the reduction in the size of the force and the change in its orientation meant something very different from what it meant in Soviet times or even in the Tsars period. Mr. Putin went in to Eastern Ukraine with a set of assumptions that were not valid, but at the time he thought they were....

Before all sorts of nice people cry out that this is a small boy who was killed in Nablus, pay attention: from a short stroll through the account of 16-year-old Ahmed Shahada, one can understand that this is a terrorist activist. One photo from 2019.

A Florida man downed a cup of bleach in a courtroom moments after hearing the jury read his verdict in which he was found guilty of armed robbery. Jermaine Bell, 38, has spent more than three years in custody for the December 2018 robbery for which he was convicted. He pulled a gun on employees at the Millennium Engine Plating while he was disguised as a courier. Bell was seen drinking the bleach from a white disposable cup before an officer approached him with a trash can and attempted to have the inmate spit up the liquid. But Bell continued...

WINTERS: Administration’s Aversion To American Energy Independence A Result Of Hunter's Dealings

Because nothing makes Thanksgiving better than pissing off your friends and family. What IS IT with people on the Left ruining the holidays? Does it make them feel more festive to pick a fight with a family member they haven’t seen in a long, long time or what? As a country and a society, we are inundated with and surrounded by politics in every freakin’ thing we see, hear, and do, every day. Our sports, our entertainment … even our commercials. Our holidays should be off-limits. Sorry, not sorry. Oh, and this ‘cheat sheet’ from Karine Jean-Pierre on behalf of...

China is developing a nuclear system that will be used to power its lunar station planned to be developed on the Moon's South Pole. Wu Weiren, chief designer of the Chinese lunar exploration programme, told Chinese broadcaster CCTV that this new system will fulfill the 'high-power energy demands' of the station, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. Notably, the station is being developed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Russian space agency Roscosmos and is expected to complete by 2028. The station's basic configuration reportedly consists of a lander, a hopper, an orbiter and a rover....
