NASA needs to decide by the end of August whether to return two astronauts to Earth aboard Boeing's Starliner, which flew them to the International Space Station (ISS), or bring them home on a SpaceX craft, officials said Wednesday. NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams blasted off for the ISS on Starliner on June 5 for what was meant to be an eight-day stay. But their return has been delayed by thruster malfunctions that came to light during the first crewed mission to the ISS by the Boeing spacecraft. NASA officials, at a press conference on Wednesday,...

A high-profile former federal prosecutor has issued a warning about the imminent incarceration of President Donald Trump in the Manhattan case led by Soros-linked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and presided over by Democrat Judge Juan Merchan. Andrew McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Southern District of New York, wrote in a Fox News column that Trump could be jailed on Sept. 18, despite the mounting legal issues complicating the Manhattan case. Among these issues is the Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump cannot be prosecuted for acts made while in office and that these acts cannot be...

Times have changed. Two years ago, tennis great Novak Djokovic could not play in the U.S. Open tournament. It was not because he had Covid-19 and posed a danger to fellow athletes and fans. Djokovic could not come into the country because of President Biden’s proclamation banning the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen air travelers into America. Now, U.S. sporting officials let American sprinter Noah Lyles compete at the Olympics with an active case of Covid-19, putting his fellow athletes at risk of contracting the disease and impairing their performance. Lyles tested positive on Tuesday. But he was allowed to run...

As we mark the two-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly has been reduced. Inflation continues to strain American families by an extra $1,000 per month, and the burden of government regulation on businesses has certainly not eased, as they struggle under new tax rates, mandates, and rising supply costs. The $750 billion health care, tax, and climate bill, hailed by President Biden as “one of the most significant laws in our history,” has proven to be a fiscal disaster. The American people are learning the hard way that the IRA was never...

VIDEOChuck Toad aka Chuck Todd is infamous for his completely incorrect as well as absurd political analaysis. And the latest political absurdity spouted by Chuck Toad is that it was a good thing that Kamala Harris was a do-nothing Vice-President which means her "fingerprints" are not on the disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris regime. Chuck Toad concluded that because Kamala was MIA (especially in regards to her duties as Border Czar) the public will be so stupid as to treat her as a political newcomer who had nothing to do with the failed policies of the past three years. Unfortunately...

The administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for running mate, “made it a priority” to delete language in the Minnesota Human Rights Act intended to protect children from pedophiles, State Rep. Harry Niska (R) revealed during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. The Minnesota Human Rights Act is essentially a name for the state’s anti-discrimination statute, but Democrats in Walz’s administration “have really pushed the envelope in terms of gender ideology into our Human Rights Act.” “And that included deleting from the Human Rights Act some language that specifically made clear — this is...

This week a coalition of leftist groups released an ad for Kamala Harris that contains what the New York Times describes as the “unified message from the left.” What is the message? The election is all about “our freedom” – by which they mean their freedom, not yours. As the Times puts it, leftist groups tested its “freedom” messaging in the 2022 midterms to “reclaim the language about freedom and personal liberty,” which they say helped “blunt what had been expected to be a sweeping victory for Republicans.” As we noted in this space recently, Harris has been talking up...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday and discussed the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, Axios reported, citing two US sources. One source told Axios that Trump's call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the deal but stressed he did not know if this was indeed what the former president told Netanyahu. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Late last month, Netanyahu visited the US and met President Joe Biden, Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican former President Trump.

Tehran is reconsidering its approach to retaliation against Israel following Ismail Haniyeh's assassination, Professor Uzi Rabi, head of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, explained to Nissim Mashal and Liat Ron in an interview on 103FM on Thursday morning. "There is ongoing deliberation in Tehran. If we go back to the day after Haniyeh was eliminated, they spoke of revenge at the highest level. However, as days pass, it seems that Iran is having second thoughts, mainly due to the American buildup in the Middle East," Rabi said. "Currently, Iran even sees...

The Coalition for Carolina recently noted that UNC-Chapel Hill has dropped out of the top-10 “average adjusted faculty salary” rankings for the 2023-24 academic year, as measured against a select group of peer institutions. The implication from the announcement is that this is a bad thing. “We should demand to see our faculty in the top 10 in salaries, respect and shared governance,” the progressive organization declared. “It is concerning, because the quality of our faculty determines the quality of the University and the quality of education that students receive.” Complaints about faculty salaries from within the academy often imply...

Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance responded to his opponent, Kamala Harris’ number two Tim Walz, regarding a proposed Oct. 1 debate on CBS, and although he said he’d only seen the offer a few hours earlier and hadn’t had a chance to review the terms, he was confident that it would go down. However, he said he wouldn’t be interested if it wasn’t a “real” debate. "We want to actually look at the debates, look at the moderators, talk about the rules a little bit," he said. "I strongly suspect we're going to be there on October the 1st,...
