President Biden will not run for re-election during a tumultuous year that will see parts of the country suffer rolling blackouts, the release of an inhaled COVID vaccine and a boycott over driverless cars, a top JPMorgan Chase strategist predicted.

Tops among the budding Nostradamus’ prophesies was that 81-year-old Biden will drop out of the race “sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election, citing health concerns.”...

Ohio has seen a decrease in gun crime across several of its cities since it has allowed individuals to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Ohio became the 23rd state to allow individuals to carry a firearm without permit in 2022, which was hit with criticisms when the state realized it could not require individuals to "get fingerprinted, pay a fee," or "ask for permission from the local sheriff."

In addition to charting a possible new course for society, the researchers say their "paradigm shifting" plan can support climate modeling and discussion by providing a set of actions that strongly emphasize social and economic justice as well as environmental sustainability.

Biden leveraged his defensive anger at least five times when questioned about his family’s business dealings, the Republican National Committee...
