BRUSSELS, Sept 13 (Reuters) - The European Commission launched an investigation on Wednesday into whether to impose punitive tariffs to protect European Union producers against cheaper Chinese electric vehicle (EV) imports it says are benefiting from state subsidies. "Global markets are now flooded with cheaper electric cars. And their price is kept artificially low by huge state subsidies," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in her annual address to the bloc's parliament, seen by many in Brussels as a pitch for her re-appointment for a second term.

It shows a mass looting event that happened at an Apple store in Philadelphia on September 26, 2023:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXDypGspXR8Watching that video, I really have to wonder: What is the mindset of a person who steals a traceable iPhone, which has GPS tracking, and which can be bricked (i.e., rendered unusable) by the Apple store immediately after it is stolen?Other stores in Philadelphia were also looted during this mass looting event.Jessica Mann, a managing attorney at Shaka Johnson, is a lawyer for Dayjia Blackwell, one of the alleged looters in...

A New York porch pirate targeted homes in broad daylight under the guise of delivering food as she canvassed residential neighborhoods for her next target, police said. Juliana Saggaram, 33, of East Elmhurst, Queens was arrested Wednesday after she used her position as a DoorDash driver to freely approach two homes and swipe packages. Saggaram conducted the scheme twice in 48 hours before she was caught in the act on Sept. 3 in Manhasset, when a 54-year-old victim reported the stolen package. The alleged thief had stopped at a nearby Chipotle for a DoorDash order to use the food order...

The relentless influx of migrants pouring into the Big Apple has now surged to an average of 600 per day, double what it was a year ago. Frustrated city officials said Wednesday an uptick in buses being sent from Texas is only exacerbating the already out-of-control crisis. “In recent days, we are seeing a significant surge in arrivals,” Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom said during a City Hall briefing on the migrant crisis. “It is a very frustrating moment for all New Yorkers, as we have been responding to this crisis, managing the inflow – and here we are again seeing...

In his study The Gulag Archipelago, Alexandr Solzenitsyn records that “the creation of fabricated cases began back in the early years of the Organs” – that is, immediately after the Soviet secret police agency was created in 1917. The routine fabrication of offenses was done by the Chekists “so that their constant salutary activity might be perceived as essential. Otherwise, what with a decline in the number of enemies, the Organs might, in a bad hour, have been forced to wither away.” From its inception, the Soviet secret police agency was engaged in what we now call “Homeland Security Theater.”

Striking auto workers slammed Joe Biden’s green agenda, warning his push for Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates will wipe them out. Around 25,000 auto workers across the US are striking against General Motors (GM), Ford, and Stellantis after the UAW announced a strike last month in the hopes of raising wages to keep up with soaring inflation and commitments jobs won’t be destroyed by Biden’s EV mandates. Auto workers told E&E News that Biden’s EV mandates could completely destroy their jobs in the American auto industry. “I think EVs are going to wipe us out,” 28-year-old Whitney Walch, who works at...

You can see why California Governor Gavin Newsom had to go beyond California to find a fitting replacement for the late Dianne Feinstein in the United States Senate. He put a lot of thought into it. He conducted an extensive search. Before Feinstein’s body was cold, Newsom was ready with his announcement. He had found the compleat Democrat: Laphonza Butler of Silver Spring, Maryland. It’s almost funny. But consider, to borrow a Shakespearean formulation, she is the perfectest herald of joy, Democrat style. She combines identity politics and ideological rectitude with institutional networking. Let us pause to admire her perfection....

A Rikers Island corrections officer who once claimed he was working more than 100 hours a week was hit with federal charges Wednesday for allegedly cheating the city out of more than $170,000 in bogus overtime. James Internicola, a 26-year veteran of the city Department of Corrections, was allegedly on vacation soaking up the sun in Aruba or on the Jersey Shore while claiming he was actually on duty at Rikers, according to a 13-page complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court. Between July 2021 and January 2023, the 56-year-old Rikers guard pocketed more than $390,000 in pay and overtime —...

Three U.S. states in New England – Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut – on Wednesday agreed to jointly procure offshore wind power as soaring interest rates and rising equipment and labor costs have made some projects uneconomic. By joining forces, the states hope to counter the pain rippling across the nascent U.S. offshore wind industry, which is expected to play a key part in decarbonizing the power sector and revitalizing domestic manufacturing.

What’s that book those presidents swear in on every four years? Of course, it’s the Bible. Is it just a prop or is there meaning to that tradition?

President Biden’s dog Commander was recently booted from the White House as reports have emerged that the German shepherd has bitten more personnel than previously disclosed, creating what staffers are calling a dangerous workplace, according to a report. “We’re beyond the point of worrying about trust being broken. We have to speak up,” a source familiar with the president’s Secret Service detail told the news station. There have been 12 documented biting incidents — including 11 with US Secret Service staff — involving the 2-year-old pooch in the past year. But sources told CNN that the actual number of incidents...

Vocal about his opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine, adamant about physical fitness and bearing a historic namesake — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. first posed as an interesting shake-up to the 2024 presidential race after announcing his candidacy in April. But as Kennedy is expected to announce his switch from the Democratic Party to an independent ticket, strategists on both the right and the left are downplaying his impact on the race. Instead, they’re more concerned with a different third-party candidate: Cornel West. West, a prominent left-wing academic and philosophical writer, announced his run for president June 5. The Green Party...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) responded to a question on whether he’d hold up a bill to prevent a government shutdown if it doesn’t have Ukraine funding by stating that “we’re going to do whatever we have to do to fight to make sure Ukraine funding happens and it happens in a way that gives them the unbroken resources that they need to continue to repel this Russian invasion.” Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “Are you willing to hold up any bill that comes to the Senate without that funding for Ukraine in it?”

The charges have ranged from misdemeanor assault to felony assault and rape allegedly committed by a non-citizen who was working at the hotel but not staying there under the migrant sheltering program.

MOSCOW, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Russia's communications watchdog plans to block Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) from March 1 next year, a Russian senator for the ruling United Russia party said on Tuesday. Demand for VPN services soared after Russia restricted access to some Western social media after President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in February 2022. Senator Artem Sheikin said an order from the Roskomnadzor watchdog would come into force on March 1 that would block VPNs. "From March 1, 2024, an order will come into force to block VPN services providing access to sites banned in Russia," Sheikin...
