Rick Perry, the former Texas governor who later served as U.S. Energy Secretary, has thrown his weight behind a sprawling new project set to reshape the power landscape. Through Fermi America, the company he co-founded, Perry aims to build an 11-gigawatt complex near Lubbock that combines natural gas and nuclear power to feed the insatiable demands of data centers, particularly those running artificial intelligence operations. The venture, dubbed Project Matador, kicks off with a 6-gigawatt natural gas plant, which just secured preliminary approval from Texas authorities. This phase alone ranks among the world’s largest clean natural gas facilities, designed to...

They do things a bit different up in Montana. For instance, apparently “Karen” is spelled “Haley” up there. Who knew? Meet Haley McKnight. Hopefully, it’s the first and last time you’ll ever have to deal with her at a macro level. She’s running to serve on the Helena City Commission. Perhaps that leads to higher office. She has to get elected first, however, and she has a heck of an October surprise to live down. On Monday, a voicemail left by McKnight with the office of Montana GOP Sen. Tim Sheehy was first reported on by conservative outlet National Review....

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said that “the shutdown, actually, is something that the Republicans have been really responsible for, because one of our key things in the shutdown is, number one, vote to reopen the government, but make sure Donald Trump does not get a blank check for his lawless activities,” and “people are understanding that Democrats are fighting to try to reduce their costs.” Van Hollen said, “Well, the shutdown, actually, is something that the Republicans have been really responsible for, because one of our key things in the shutdown is,...

The Israeli anti-drone and anti-missile laser weapon, the Iron Beam 450, is said to be ready to be deployed in Israel. From the timesofisrael.com: The Iron Beam is not meant to replace the Iron Dome or Israel’s other air defense systems, but to supplement and complement them, shooting down smaller projectiles and leaving larger ones for the more robust missile-based batteries such as the David’s Sling and Arrow systems.As long as there is a constant source of energy for the laser, there is no risk of it ever running out of ammunition. Officials have hailed it as a potential “game-changer”...

Chances are, you’re already aware that birthrates are falling throughout the developed world, sagging well below the “replacement rate” and sparking worries about the implications of a future dearth of workers and consumers. However, the emphasis on economic implications has allowed a powerful political undercurrent to go almost entirely unnoticed: Birthrates are varying significantly by political orientation, a trend that has the potential to shape electorates and policies for generations to come — to the benefit of conservatives.Replacement birthrates vary over time and place depending on shifts in related variables such as child mortality. In developed countries, sustaining populations without...

LEXINGTON — Candidates for U.S. Senate in Kentucky talked on Wednesday about national economic and trade policies before a gathering focused on manufacturing and innovation. Answering questions in front of the Kentucky Industry Conference held in Lexington this week, top Republican candidates — former Attorney General Daniel Cameron, U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and businessman Nate Morris — reiterated their support for President Donald Trump’s agenda.

🚨 Wikipedia's Shameful Anti-Israel Bias: Founder Jimmy Wales Sounds the Alarm! 🚨Jimmy Wales Blasts "Gaza Genocide" Hoax Article as "Egregious" Violation of NeutralityWikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has courageously exposed the blatant anti-Israel propaganda masquerading as "fact" on Wikipedia. In a powerful personal statement, Wales condemned the absurdly titled "Gaza Genocide[sic]" article for shamelessly declaring—in Wikipedia's own voice—that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. This is nothing but a vicious blood libel, a highly contested lie pushed by Hamas sympathizers and Israel-haters!The article's lead brazenly states: “the Gaza genocide[sic] is the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in...

Viewing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) as out of step with the MAGA agenda, President Donald Trump has backed the Kentucky MAGA PAC, which plans to oppose Massie in the primary. The PAC, led by Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, has vowed to spend whatever it takes to unseat Massie. A John McLaughlin poll shows 52% support a Trump-endorsed candidate versus 23% for Massie.

The liberal media: covering for Muslim violence around the world! When such violence occurs in the West, the liberal media is often reluctant to release the names and associated information about the perpetrators. How often have we heard "the motive for the attack is unknown," despite the knife-or-gun-wielding perp having yelled Allahu Akbar as he carried out his attack!? That same liberal instinct extends to Muslim predations in other parts of the world. Thus, in response to President Trump's warning that he might order military action in Nigeria to counter the persecution and killing of Christians, CNN This Morning devoted...

TORONTO — Following the team's devastating loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, the Canadian government announced that it had ordered the players from the Toronto Blue Jays to be euthanized. As is standard procedure in Canada, people who have outlived their usefulness and no longer provide the expected value to society are promptly scheduled to be exterminated. After failing to bring home a championship, the Blue Jays' roster was deemed to have reached the end of the line. "It's what's best for all parties," said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
