    Law enforcement across Tennessee and Kentucky are looking for a man after his girlfriend was found dead in his Antioch apartment last weekend. On Friday, March 13, officials said Kentucky State Police found 26-year-old Kierra Timmons’ red Dodge Charger abandoned on an Interstate 24 bridge over the Cumberland River with the engine running, the door open, and the hazard flashers on. “La Vergne police came knocking on my door at 9:30, telling me they had found her car abandoned and couldn’t find her, and this was in Kentucky, so I tried to reach her, [but I] couldn’t get her,” Kierra’s...

    The Prince of Wales is "keen to build a strong and meaningful bond" with the Church of England, a royal aide has said, ahead of the future monarch attending the new Archbishop of Canterbury's official installation this week. The aide said Prince William's "commitment to the Church of England is sometimes quieter than people expect, and for that reason it is not always fully understood". But they added that "those who know him well recognise that his connection to the Church, and to the sense of duty that comes with it, runs deep and is grounded in something personal and...

    Supreme Court ^ | 3/23/26
    At 10:00 this morning, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the issue of ballots arriving after election day.QUESTION PRESENTED: The federal election-day statutes-2 U.S.C. § 7, 2 U.S.C. § 1, and 3 U.S.C. § 1-set the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in certain years as the "election" day for federal offices. Like all other States, Mississippi requires that ballots for federal offices be cast-marked and submitted to election officials-by that day. And like most other States, Mississippi allows some of those timely cast ballots (mail-in absentee ballots, in Mississippi's case) to be counted if they are...
  • Germany has a shortage of workers - so it's turning to India for help

    Germany is continuing to struggle with a shortage of skilled workers, as elderly staff retire, and there are not enough young candidates to fill their roles. To try to alleviate the problem the country is increasingly turning to workers from India. For Handirk von Ungern-Sternberg, it started with an email that dropped into his inbox in February 2021. It had come from India. The gist of the message was: "We have lots of young, motivated people looking for vocational training and we're wondering if you're interested." Von Ungern-Sternberg was working for the Freiburg Chamber of Skilled Crafts in southwest Germany,...

  • New York Approaches The Green Energy Cliff With Morons In Charge

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 22 Mar, 2026 | Francis Menton
    As New York approaches the Green Energy Cliff, developments are starting to come more quickly. When last I addressed the subject on March 6, there had just been “leaked” a three-page memo from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to the Governor’s office, revealing that implementation of what New York calls its “cap and invest” program — actually, an artificial scarcity program intentionally designed to drive prices up and impoverish the people — would cost every New York household thousands of dollars in increased energy costs. (I put the word “leaked” in quotes because most knowledgeable...

    As the 89th Banking Convention wraps up in Cancún today, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau share the stage with Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, and the BIS—amid a focus on ending cash that ties perfectly into Mexico’s ongoing biometric ID rollout. On Wednesday, the 89th Banking Convention began in Cancún, Mexico, as representatives from the Mexican government and banking sector met to discuss the future of digital payments and the phasing out of cash in a country where more than three-fourths of the population depends on it. The annual meeting brought together leaders from Mexico’s financial...

  • The Dunning–Kruger Problem in Modern Governance

    American Thinker ^ | 23 Mar, 2026 | Jeannie DeAngelis
    Overconfidence despite clear incompetence was evident in both Obama and Mamdani. There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which -- in my opinion -- would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced...

    @DineshDSouza He hasn’t paid income tax in over 30 years and claims he hasn’t gone to jail because Americans are not legally required to file….. @PeterSchiff My father also said, “Show me the law.” He coined the term “confession” to describe the 1040. Though the government never showed him any law that required him to pay income taxes or file an income tax confession, corrupt judges orchestrated convictions to protect the government.

    Heart-pounding audio captured the frantic moments before Sunday’s fatal collision involving an Air Canada passenger plane and a firefighting truck at LaGuardia Airport — with one air traffic controller admitting after they “messed up.” Air traffic controllers urged an incoming plane to go around as the crash unfolded on the ground, killing the jet’s pilot and co-pilot, according to LiveATC audio. The truck was cleared to cross the airport’s Runway 4 before air traffic controllers urged a Frontier plane bound for Miami and the vehicle to stop. “Stop, stop, stop, stop,” the controller frantically demanded. “Truck 1, stop, stop, stop....

    The news just keeps getting more disgusting from the Sandalista Spring Break crowd, descending on Cuba to show 'solidarity' as President Trump halts its "free" oil from Venezuela, and creating a boatload of misery for Cuba's socialism-impoverished locals. It wasn't just gawking at people's poverty from state safari-style tour buses while singing 'Guantamanera' at them, which I wrote about here. Alberto de la Cruz @albertodelacruz "This is how the foreign communists visiting Cuba get around...like they're on a safari through a theme park. Then they ask us to resist in the name of their criminal ideology. They're all immoral." It...

    President Trump announced Monday that the US will not attack any part of Iran’s power and energy infrastructure for five days after Washington and Tehran had engaged in “very good and productive talks” over the weekend about ending the three-week-old war. “I am please [sic] to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote, without elaborating. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed and constructive conversations,...

    Some analysts say the economic effects of Operation Epic Fury in Iran could persist for years, even after the strikes end. Oil prices have climbed since Operation Epic Fury began, with WTI crude futures closing at $98.32 on Friday, up more than $30 from $67.02 on Feb. 27 — the day before the conflict with Iran began — according to Investing.com. “Productive capacity will be offline for an uncomfortably long time, meaning energy prices are likely to fall much slower than they rose,” Kyle Rodda, a senior analyst for the online trading platform Capital.com, told Axios, referring to an Israeli...

    Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Monday that Moscow is "sending signals" to Washington about the danger of targeting the joint Russia-Iran Bushehr nuclear power plant. "Of course, corresponding signals are being transmitted to the American side," he told the reporters, noting that the US strikes pose "a very serious security threat" to the plant. Furthermore, he urged a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, claiming that the war should have ended "yesterday." Peskov confirmed that Russia is in constant dialogue with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding the Bushehr nuclear plant.
