All this changed, however, over the past century, as quantum physics and Einstein’s discoveries allowed us to peer into the sub-atomic level of our world. We soon discovered that by splitting atoms, we could unleash enough energy to destroy the world. We are now discovering that by fusing atoms, we can release even more energy. By splitting atoms and by combining atoms, we are re-engineering the basic model of nature.

Legacy automobile companies that have been producing internal combustion engine vehicles for decades have been addicted to their gas-powered models as electric vehicles began to make their mark over the past dozen or so years.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said at an event in Kentucky on Wednesday that Congress will likely end up passing a short-term spending resolution to avoid a government shutdown. Lawmakers in the upper chamber are slated to return to Washington from their summer recess Tuesday and will have to hustle to either advance a dozen federal spending measures before the end of the month or produce a continuing resolution that will keep money flowing to the government. Mr. McConnell said the latter would be more likely. “I think we will end up with a short-term [continuing] resolution probably into December...

The historic Gadsden flag is at the heart of a controversy involving a twelve-year-old boy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The child was removed from the school due to a patch on his backpack featuring the flag.The school district defended the action and claimed that, despite its historical symbolism, it is now considered racist and connected to slavery.Not only is the flag a historical image originally unconnected to slavery, but the action (in my view) contravenes core free speech protections.The flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina in 1775 as a symbol of the defiance of colonists to British...
