On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reacted to President Joe Biden blaming Vladimir Putin for inflation and high gas prices and Democrats in Congress blaming oil companies by stating that the U.S. needs to lead and “can’t be pointing fingers and accusing.” And that “Rather than beating them up and taking a club to them,” energy producers need support.

The hand moves the computer mouse, but the cursor doesn’t comply. The cursor doesn’t go where told. The hand tries again. The cursor shoots past the intended target. The hand tries a third time – and the cursor loops farther from the target than where it started. And the user is frustrated. So it often goes for computer users whose motor disabilities prevent them from easily using a mouse. As the population ages, more people are having trouble with motor control, but a University of Washington team has invented two mouse cursors that make clicking targets a whole lot easier....

ISSAQUAH, Wash. — A school bus driver who was fired for "flipping off" President George W. Bush is trying to get her job back. The 43-year-old has filed a union grievance against the district, claiming wrongful termination. U.S. Rep.

It stated that the court could try, in far-off Belgium, Ariel Sharon, who served as defense minister at the time, then chief of General Staff Rafael Eitan, and Amos Yaron and Amir Drori, generals serving under his command. The court ruled that while proceedings against Sharon would be...

The federal government wants convicted union leader Gary Rodrigues held without bail pending sentencing, saying he poses a danger to federal prosecutors and to the community. In a motion filed Tuesday but unsealed yesterday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Florence Nakakuni said that behavior and statements directed at the prosecution team by Rodrigues and his daughter Kauai police officer Shelly Rodrigues-Bonachita, on Nov. 19 after the jury returned with guilty verdicts "were perceived as threats." Those statements and a belief by Rodrigues' supporters that a federal prosecutor has a "personal vendetta" against Rodrigues are evidence of the threat he presents to the...
