Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) is working on plans to boost the capacity of its oil pipeline system in the U.S. if the next Trump administration kicks off a boom in drilling, Bloomberg reported Saturday, citing an interview with Chief Executive Greg Ebel. Ebel was quoted as saying that Enbridge sees a chance to transport “several hundred thousand” more barrels of oil daily in the U.S. in the next two to three years, mostly by optimizing its current system with procedures like looped sections and agents that reduce drag.

Foreign dignitaries, domestic politicians, and billionaire investors alike have flocked to the Palm Beach resort to meet with the incoming president, some of whom have brought with them economic and/or ideological offerings. President-elect Donald Trump’s past few months have been unusually busy for an incoming president and have seen him notch key agenda wins before even returning to office.With President Joe Biden essentially absent from the public eye, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate has taken on the role of a shadow White House, from which he has begun to operate a sort of pre-presidential administration.Foreign dignitaries, domestic politicians, and billionaire investors alike...

Imagine being onboard a giant space vessel traveling through the galaxy in the distant future. You are part of a multi-generational mission meant to colonize another planetary system. The spacecraft you are on is enormous and can support a city-state of human travelers for thousands of years. Then, one day, a member of the captain’s privy council comes to a startling conclusion: at the current rate of the vessel’s population growth, human requirements will exceed resources in a few hundred years. The captain gathers his trusted advisers in secret to discuss the dilemma. One side is not worried at all....

The deadly and destructive fires in Los Angeles — which some say could be the costliest in the state’s history — will further strain the insurance market and worsen the financial position of California’s insurer of last resort. Data about Pacific Palisades, the devastated LA neighborhood whose residents include movie stars and directors, help illustrate the insurance problems plaguing the state. An estimated 1 in 5 homes in the upscale neighborhood were covered by the insurer, known as the FAIR Plan. Property owners in California have increasingly been turning to the plan, a pool of insurers required by state law...

Faults along Los Angeles’ power grid surged in the same locations where three of this week’s massive wildfires are raging, a company that monitors electrical activity said. Whisker Labs recorded sharp increases in faults in the hours prior to the Eaton, Palisades and Hurst Fires, its chief executive officer Bob Marshall told Fox News Saturday. In the Palisades area, the largest of the fires, there were 63 grid faults in the two to three hours prior to the start of the fire, Marshall said. There were also 18 faults registered in the hour it began Tuesday. He also said there...

Preliminary results show how Pacific Palisades voted in the 2024 general election. Former President Donald Trump won a second presidential term after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris last Wednesday. The Democratic candidate won all of California’s 54 electoral college votes, while also having a stronghold across LA County (save for a few precincts in the Beverly Hills and Glendale areas), according to data reported by the Los Angeles Times. Ballots cast in the five voting precincts that largely constitute the Palisades (9005918A, 9005919A, 9005929A, 9001382A, 9007693D) overwhelmingly went to Harris compared with the now President-elect and independent candidate Robert F....

The bullying of Kelaia Turner was so bad that, at one point, even her glamorous teacher allegedly joined in — driving the schoolgirl closer to taking her own life. That's a claim at the heart of a shocking lawsuit against Olivia Grace Bennett and her colleagues at Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle School in Greenville, South Carolina. Kelaia, then 12, faced merciless bullying from five classmates, who called her 'roach,' and 'a man' and physically attacked her, the suit alleges. Rather than stopping the bullies, Bennett, 26, was allegedly 'complicit,' pointing at the abused student as her classmates jeered. In...

AI is getting scary. Some YouTuber used AI to create a Motown versions of the Beatle's Rubber Soul and Revolver, and it's much, much better than you might expect. You could listen to it over and over. They use the same words, but they really revamp the music. I would say some of it sounds more like Sam Cooke, or other soul music, than specifically Motown, but it stands on it's own. How is this possible?

The historic "special relationship" between the United States and the United Kingdom is being threatened by Elon Musk's open criticism of the UK government's toleration of "Asian grooming gangs." The scandal has been underway for decades as Muslims have been treating infidel youngsters as the sex slaves the Quran says they should be. Girls as young as 12 years old are enticed by gifts of candy, food, taxi rides, and drugs. They are gang-raped until they are "too old"--usually around 18 years of age--and then discarded. Current Prime Minister Keir Starmer headed the Crown Prosecution Service during most of this...

A former Labour MP has been arrested during a paedophile sting just months after he was suspended from the party over serious allegations. A video shared on social media shows a man who identifies himself as the former Labour MP Ivor Caplin being handcuffed by police officers. Sussex Police have confirmed they have arrested a 66-year-old man on suspicion of engaging in sexual communication with a child. In June last year, Mr Caplin was suspended over undisclosed 'serious allegations' - which he denies. Footage of the arrest has been shared online showing a man wearing a black trench coat and...

Marcus Freeman kicked woke sports talk in the a** with a postgame speech for the ages. Notre Dame's win on Thursday night against Penn St. featured several incredible moments. But Freeman stole the spotlight after the game, giving a sharp response to what sounded like a pointed question by ESPN. ESPN has been known to make some out-of-touch commentary and nudge folks into discussing race during interviews. It's a bold direction for the sports network. Interviewing Marcus Freeman after the win, ESPN reporter Molly McGrath asked the Fighting Irish coach to give his thoughts on becoming the first African-American coach...

The devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles have significantly disrupted the television and film industry in Hollywood, halting productions and forcing crews to relocate from affected areas. Several high-profile projects have announced delays, and the ripple effects are being felt across the industry. As the California fires continue to spread, the entertainment world is grappling with the immediate challenges of production safety and the long-term impact on the region’s iconic filming landscape.

Arms crossed, scowl set, President-elect Donald J. Trump avoided jail, but became a felon. Mr. Trump appeared virtually at his criminal sentencing on Friday from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, more than 1,000 miles away from the chilly Manhattan courtroom where his case was called for a final time. Projected on a 60-inch screen, his image loomed over the gallery as a prosecutor recounted his crimes and a judge imposed his sentence. Mr. Trump once faced up to four years in prison for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal, but on Friday, he received only a so-called...

Explanation: Only Mercury is missing from a Solar System parade of planets in this early evening skyscape. Rising nearly opposite the Sun, bright Mars is at the far left. The other naked-eye planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, can also be spotted, with the positions of too-faint Uranus and Neptune marked near the arcing trace of the ecliptic plane. On the far right and close to the western horizon after sunset is a young crescent Moon whose surface is partly illuminated by earthshine. In the foreground of the composite panorama captured on 2 January, planet Earth is represented by Mount Etna's...

Californians are facing fresh peril over the devastating wildfires as the largest of the blazes continues to spread - with officials now warning that fast and erratic winds may spread the fires throughout untouched areas over the weekend. The disaster has already claimed the lives of at least 11 people and destroyed more than 10,000 structures. Now the expansion of Los Angeles' Palisades fire has partially shuttered the 405 freeway, as the flames begin to encroach on the celebrity neighborhoods of Mandeville Canyon and Brentwood. Los Angeles County is still battling at least six major fires with most barely contained....
