Consumer prices rose 3.1 percent over the past year and 0.3 percent in January, according to data released Tuesday by the Labor Department. The annual inflation rate fell from 3.4 percent in December while monthly price growth accelerated slightly from a 0.2-percent rate last month. Economists expected the annual inflation rate to fall to 2.9 percent and monthly inflation to come in around 0.2 percent, according to consensus estimates. The January inflation decline is the latest sign of the U.S. economy holding up better than many experts expected with just nine months until the November elections.

An astonishing new image shows the moment the $300k Bentley involved in the Niagara Falls checkpoint explosion soared through the air moments before combusting. US police said on Thursday they were still investigating the fiery crash on the bridge linking New York state and Ontario the day before. The dramatic fireball incident at 11.29am Wednesday sparked a security scare and the closure of four US-Canadian border crossings on the day before Thanksgiving. A new image which emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows the luxury motor twisting sideways as it hurtled through the air at break-neck speed. It was...

Just call him Jo-slip Biden. President Biden, 80, slipped and nearly tumbled down a 14-step staircase while exiting Air Force One on Tuesday — just hours after it was revealed that the commander-in-chief is working with a physical therapist and using shorter stairs to avoid further trip-ups. The near-miss occurred moments after Biden touched down at the Detroit Metro Airport, where he was greeted by United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garland Gilchrist and US Reps. Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib and Shri Thanedar, all Michigan Democrats, the clip shared by radio reporter Alex McLennon shows. Despite the...

For the entirety of his 2020 presidential campaign and the 28 months of his presidency, Joe Biden has been a sick man. During the campaign, he was so feeble that his political handlers kept him locked in the basement.

President Biden’s onstage tumble at the U.S. Air Force Academy made headlines around the world. But he’s far from the only world leader or political candidate who has taken a highly visible fall. From Chinese leader Xi Jinping (whose 2019 slip commentators dubbed the “great fall of China”) to Gerald Ford (whose fall while disembarking Air Force One in 1975 was the subject of late-night comedy skits) and other politicians around the world, trips and tumbles are fodder for laughs, cringes — and hot takes. (snip) Trump, as president, looked unsteady on his feet at the U.S. Military Academy at...

New home construction fell again last month as soaring interest rates continued to weaken demand in the housing market. Housing starts declined by 4.2 percent from September to 1.43 million units, according to Census Bureau data released on Thursday. The number of new building permits issued in October also fell from the previous month, dropping by 2.4 percent to 1.53 million. “Both starts and permits fell behind September levels and behind levels from one year ago,” Zillow senior economist Nicole Bachaud wrote in an analysis. “As the current affordability crisis burns on, builders are feeling demand for new homes slipping...

Federal data on causes of death in America show that, as recently as 2018, falling accounted for at least 126 times as many fatalities as rifles of any kind — an inconvenient fact for Democrat lawmakers who are currently demanding a new round of nationwide gun controls. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2018 National Vital Statistics show 37,455 people died from unintentional falls throughout the year. The same CDC data shows unintentional firearm deaths for 2018 came in at 458, which means accidental death by falling was about 82 times more likely than accidental death via any kind...

Stocks cratered Monday as investors grappled with the sinking price of oil and the spread of the coronavirus.The Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked 2,043 points, or 7.9%, on pace for its worst day since December 2008. The S&P 500 plunged 7.5%. The massive sell-off triggered a key market circuit breaker minutes after the opening bell. Trading was halted for 15 minutes until reopening at 9:49 a.m. ET. The sharp declines followed a roller-coaster week that saw the S&P 500 swing up or down more than 2.5% for four days straight.

Gobright was best known for free soloing, or climbing without any safety gear, but at the time the two were rappelling, a technique using ropes. Climbers descend a rock face by using a doubled rope coiled around the body but the method is described by experts as one of the most common causes of deaths in the sport. "We started rapping," Mr Jacobson told the Outside website. "I was a bit above him. I was on the left. He was on the right. Then all of a sudden, I felt a pop, and we started dropping."

I-4 Ultimate’s promise five years ago was that private financing and management would make Florida’s largest road reconstruction project better, faster and cheaper. Today, the 21-mile and $2.3 billion rebuilding of Interstate 4 through metro Orlando is slogging through rising costs to an uncertain finish date, with crews working day and night under the pall of repeated worker fatalities. Some of the issues: - The fifth death of a construction worker last month that preliminary findings say would have been avoidable with a more cautious approach to bridge building that SGL Constructors made mandatory this month. - Construction consortium I-4...

A 20-year-old college student from South Dakota fell to her death off Hawksbill Crag, a popular tourist spot in Arkansas, while posing for a photo. Andrea Norton, of Hot Springs, S.D., was visiting the area on a school-related trip, Newton County Sheriff Glenn Wheeler told the Springfield News-Leader on Saturday. “She was here with a group from her college, and the professor that led the group has been coming here for more than 20 years and bringing groups here,” Wheeler told NBC affiliate KY3. Norton was hiking with classmates from Sioux City, Iowa, when she slipped and fell off the...

Inducting Jane Fonda into the National Women's Hall of Fame could cost the organization its partnership with Seneca Falls, New York, its host town and the site of America's first-ever women's right's convention in 1848. Earlier this month, the Hall of Fame announced the actress would be among its class of 2019. Citing Fonda's actions during the Vietnam War, Seneca Falls Supervisor Greg Lazzaro released a resolution Thursday morning that would pull the town's support out of respect for veterans in the community. The resolution, which is expected to be proposed at next week's town board meeting, was released to...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took aim at investors who are selling Turkish lira, saying the currency was under attack as it hit fresh record lows against the dollar. Erdoğan said there was no technical or rational reason why the lira should be losing so much value. Turkey has prepared a “project” that will reverse this trend, he said in a speech on Tuesday. The lira hit a new record as Erdoğan spoke, falling to as low as 4.3 to the U.S. currency. It declined 0.6 percent to 4.2946 at 1:28 p.m. in Istanbul. The currency had traded at 1.15...
