If you don’t like fossil fuels — and who does? — our betters in academia and environmental NGOs have the perfect answer: we can just get our energy in the form of electricity from the wind and sun. The fuel is abundant and free for the taking. The New York Times has reported that the cost of electricity generated from wind and sun is now lower than the cost of generation from fossil fuel sources. And even as we save money on electricity, we’ll be saving the planet! All the sociology and gender studies majors agree that we have a...

Vladimir Putin is raking in at least $760m (£570m) a day as the war in Iran drives soaring demand for Russian oil. Kremlin sales from oil and gas will double from about $12bn to nearly $24bn this month as Putin profits from an enormous price surge and Donald Trump’s sanctions waivers, according to the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Institute. Even if the war ends in the next few weeks, Russia’s oil and gas revenues are expected to surge to $218.5bn this year – 63pc more than if there was no disruption to Middle East energy supplies. It means Putin...

Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue. The Trump administration has been weighing using US troops to seize the tiny island in the northeastern Persian Gulf as leverage over the Iranians to coerce them to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, CNN has reported. But US officials and military experts say there would be significant risks involved in such a ground operation, including a...

Twisted triple killer Valdo Calocane is being housed behind a thick panel of glass at one of the UK's few high-security psychiatric hospitals due to the extreme danger he poses to his fellow patients. Calocane, 34, a paranoid schizophrenic who was diagnosed in 2020, has spent the last two years locked up at Ashworth High Secure Hospital in Maghull, near Liverpool, after he was found guilty of murdering Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates. He killed the students and granddad, and attempted to kill a further three people in a vicious Nottingham murder spree on June 13, 2023. He...

Arizona Senate Bill 1424 has passed the Senate and has passed the House Education Committee and the House Rules Committee. The bill requires school districts and charter schools to provide age-appropriate firearm safety awareness training in all grades, kindergarten through 12th grade. The instruction is to be objective and not promote firearms ownership or any political position. The instruction is to be limited to accident prevention and personal safety awareness. It is to include guidance on safe firearms storage in homes and vehicles. The instruction is to provide guidance on what to do if a firearm is encountered, including not...

s anyone aware of current events surely knows, another young woman was murdered by an illegal immigrant with, yet again, a long criminal record but on the streets because sanctuary cities don’t believe in jailing the violent thugs Biden allowed to invade our country. This time it was in Chicago, the victim, an eighteen year-old freshman college student, Sheridan Gorman. Walking with friends in a part of the city the reprehensible Gov. J.B. Pritzker has vowed is completely safe, the killer, dressed in black and masked, fired as the girls fled, killing Sheridan. She was shot in the neck. This...

Major League Baseball's new-look "Opening Night" has come and gone. The Yankees throttled the Giants, 7-0. Aaron Judge struck out four times. Max Fried was unhittable. Tony Vitello probably misses Knoxville at the moment. You know, usual opening night stuff for MLB. The big story around Wednesday, though? Netflix. This was the streaming giant's foray into baseball, and buddy, it was a rocky little ride. Now, that's to be expected. There were always going to be bumps in the road, and there were several here. Elle Duncan was insufferable and didn't know what home plate was. Seems like a problem...

A Maryland House bill that would require tampons and other menstrual-hygiene products in both men’s and women’s bathrooms in public buildings has set off a fresh round of argument in Annapolis. Backers are pitching it as an issue of access and dignity for people who menstruate, while critics say the whole thing is unnecessary and potentially pricey to pull off.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is facing a full-blown revolt from within his own party after floating a plan that critics say would quietly sabotage one of the most important election integrity bills in years. Conservative heavyweights Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are sounding the alarm, accusing Senate leadership of trying to pull a fast one on the American people by pretending the SAVE America Act can pass through budget reconciliation. Their message is simple: it can’t — and they know it. Luna went nuclear, blasting the maneuver as a deliberate dodge to avoid forcing senators to...

The RICO hammer is finally dropping on a decade of DC corruption. he Southern District of Florida (“SDFL”) federal grand jury has just issued criminal subpoenas to major players like former FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan. This action is no fishing expedition but rather the telltale sign that a massive RICO criminal enterprise is finally being cracked open, which I’ve suggested earlier would happen given the Clinton crime family and Seth Rich’s unsolved murder. Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked into the Temple and saw money changers and merchants turning a house of worship into a...

@FarmActionUS Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers. His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill. If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry. “This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.” How? It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities. “You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.” “So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health...

I am trying to set up a "Miracast" connection from my laptop to a TV, and apparently I need to manually change the IP address of my wireless router. Although the router is working just fine, I cannot "find" it from my desktop machine, which is connected via a "fast switch" and ethernet.

Sometimes it may take many years, but finally the lies are exposed, the halos crash to the ground and vindication is awarded to the truth tellers. Pardon me if I am feeling a bit of satisfaction from some shocking revelations – finally! Let me start with some details of personal events from years ago. In the 1970s I was a dedicated activist of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) the largest conservative youth activist group in the nation. I became state chairman of the Ohio branch. It was a time of major Leftist activity on college campuses, including antiwar demonstrations and...

The pattern of Islam is to use schools and school boards, government, the courts, art museums, and other major institutions, including outreach to churches, to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally takeover a nation. At the February meeting of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE), Shaimaa Zayan, Operations Manager of the Austin office of Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) went to the microphone to make public comments about revisions to the social studies curriculum standards which are under review. Why is a designated foreign terrorist organization allowed a platform to demand a full revision of the Texas social...

Elena Flows Beteta is suing French Laundry and Thomas Keller Restaurant Group over alleged violations of the California labor code, per the Press Democrat. Beteta, who worked as a dishwasher from 2022-2025, filed the suit in Napa County Superior Court on behalf of her and “over fifty current and former aggrieved employees,” she claims.
