Over the past two years, Genuine Campbell was shocked at how rent for her two-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia just kept going up — from $1,300 a month to $1,600. She's a single mom of four, and right as her rent was rising, her hours as a hotel valet were getting cut. Add in utility costs plus inflation, and every month brought a wrenching decision. "Do you want to pay the bills and then give half the rent, or do you want to try to do the whole rent and then be back on bills?" she says. Campbell says the area...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s economy grew at an unexpectedly brisk 3.3% annual pace from October through December as Americans showed a continued willingness to spend freely despite high interest rates and price levels that have frustrated many households. Thursday’s report from the Commerce Department said the gross domestic product — the economy’s total output of goods and services — decelerated from its sizzling 4.9% growth rate the previous quarter. But the latest figures still reflected the surprising durability of the world’s largest economy, marking the sixth straight quarter in which GDP has grown at an annual pace of 2%...

The Kansas City Police Department told Fox News Digital that they are...

Earlier this month, we learned that Barack Obama advised Joe Biden on how to beef up his reelection campaign. Now, he appears to have given up all hope for Biden's struggling campaign. The former president and other allies of Biden's have advised him "to quit the 2024 race to save America and the Democratic Party," according to a report from RadarOnline. "Insiders snitched that tensions between the two presidents recently exploded after irate Obama rushed to a secret meeting and confronted Biden about his fading chances to fend off surging Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming November election," explains...

Layoffs ‘disproportionately’ impact people of color, according to the chair of the L.A. Times Guild Unit Council Caucuses within the Los Angeles Times Guild designed to represent diverse communities within the newsroom will be "decimated" by the liberal paper’s decision to lay off at least 115 staffers this week, according to the Guild. "If these layoffs are allowed to go through, our caucuses will be decimated. The Latino Caucus will lose 38% of its members. The Black Caucus will lose 33% of members. The AAPI [Asian American and Pacific Islander] and MENASA [Middle East, North Africa and South Asia] caucuses...

In the short term, Haley will cede to Trump the Nevada caucuses and focus on her home state of South Carolina. But then what? Nikki Haley just lost the New Hampshire primary by 11 percent. She had earlier come in third in the recent Iowa caucuses behind Ron DeSantis. But DeSantis, not she, dropped out of the race. He then endorsed front-runner Donald Trump. By contrast, Haley confidently announced that at last there was a two-person, head-to-head race. So she confidently headed to New Hampshire. Her subtext was that if she did not win the upcoming two-person primaries, she would...

Upon completion of the tests, airlines can return the planes to service. The Federal Aviation Administration released final instructions to airlines to begin conducting inspections of their 737 Max 9 planes Wednesday -- a move that will eventually allow them to fly again. The agency had grounded nearly 200 of the planes after an Alaska Airlines flight lost one of its door plugs mid-flight earlier this month. Alaska Airlines released a statement Wednesday evening confirming its plans return some of its 737 MAX aircraft back to the skies on Friday following thorough inspection. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Wednesday,...

In January of 2023, a Florida federal district Court restored the right to keep and bear arms on United States Postal Service (USPS) property. The court ruled a statute banning the possession of guns on USPS property, dating from 1972, was unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. Currently, the ruling only applies to the individual case in Florida. The USPS has issued a statement aimed at employees, stating the USPS policy has not changed. From the USPS: A recent Florida district court decision is being misreported or may be misinterpreted as holding that the Postal Service’s ban on carrying firearms —...

The free market is falling apart. That we all know. Lamentations on the current state of affairs abound. The free market has immiserated the middle class. The free market has created oligarchs. The free market has de-industrialized the Western world. The free market has been gamed by China. Industrial policy is now in the air. “You started it” fingers are being pointed. Industries are being ring-fenced. Tariffs and subsidies are being threatened and implemented. How did it come to this? Was Marx right? How did the free market fail us so badly? Where did it all go wrong? How right...

Trump leads Biden by 6 points — Reuters/Ipsos poll

European politicians have taken measures to help establish and empower Islam in Europe, to the detriment of the natives. Islam is on the verge of completely taking over Europe, in all ways -- at least according to one who should know, Hans-Georg Maaßen, Germany’s top domestic intelligence chief from 2012 to 2018. In a recent interview, he stressed several points that spell the imminent downfall of Europe to Islam. His warnings are buttressed by disturbing demographic changes. According to conservative estimates from Pew Research, over the next 25 years -- meaning most of the current generation’s lifetime -- Europe’s Muslim...

Our laws, from the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to federal and state civil-rights statutes, dictate race neutrality. But in our present-day reality, wherein...

A video circulating on social media shows a huge fire that engulfed a large Rosneft-owned oil refinery in the southern Russian town of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast in the early hours of Thursday morning.

France's government sought on Thursday to find answers to farmers blocking motorways and demonstrating at public buildings across the country, after a fuel tax rise ignited long-standing resentments. "We're caught between rising costs and falling prices for our produce," said Dominique Kretz, a farmer among several hundred blocking the M35 motorway near the eastern city of Strasbourg. Farmers say they are squeezed from multiple directions, caught between supermarket buyers and the food industry crushing their margins, and environmental rules on issues like leaving land fallow and pesticide use. The last straw for many was the government's decision to phase out...
