Reckless government spending. Incessant money printing. Historically high interest rates. The worst inflation in 40 years. Despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to deceive them, the American people know that Bidenomics isn’t working. Lucky for the next Republican president, this means that he or she already has a roadmap offering a way out: the policies of President Ronald Reagan, famously known as the four pillars of economic growth.

On Monday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” ABC News Correspondent Matt Rivers reported from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico along the U.S.-Mexico border and stated that, in his years covering the border, he’s “never seen anything quite like” the “hundreds of people lined up” near the border. Rivers said, “These are the scenes in the shadow of downtown El Paso, hundreds of migrants crossing the Rio Grande in a matter of hours overnight, many forced to spend the night on the river bank burning whatever they could find for warmth.”

During an interview with Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” host Andrea Mitchell stated that U.S. Senate candidate and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) had “difficulty” that “we haven’t seen” in “other interviews and in live appearances with voters” during his debate on Tuesday night with his opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz (R). Mitchell said, “We saw a very slick performance from a TV doctor, a celebrity doctor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was not answering a lot of questions and getting a lot of the facts wrong, but certainly performed. Then you saw, of...

The New York Times reports Monday evening that Donald Trump, Jr. was informed through an email that the information on Hillary Clinton that a Russian lawyer had offered to provide “was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy.” The email in question “was sent by Rob Goldstone, a publicist and former British tabloid reporter who helped broker the June 2016 meeting” with the Russian lawyer, the Timesreports. Supposedly, the email would have alerted Trump, Jr. to the lawyer’s alleged links to the Kremlin. Curiously, the Times does not provide the email. Nor has it actually seen...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. trade official Michael Punke appears to be President Barack Obama's choice to be the next U.S. ambassador to the World Trade Organization, industry officials said on Wednesday. "We hear it from pretty credible sources," said one industry official, who asked not to be identified. "It sounds like it's him. We're just waiting for the White House to make the official announcement." A White House spokesman said he had no comment. U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said on Tuesday he expected Obama to announce his choice for the position soon.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama's health secretary on Sunday pushed for a new government-run healthcare program, an idea facing skepticism even in his own party, and a senior Senate Democrat flatly said votes are lacking in Congress for the proposal.

Israel tanks seen in Gaza advance Israeli tanks have been massing close to Gaza for days A small force of Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles has reportedly moved into northern Gaza, near a former Jewish settlement. News agencies and Palestinian witnesses reported the movement after a second rocket hit the Israeli city of Ashkelon but it was not confirmed by the army. The rocket from the Gaza Strip landed harmlessly in a green space though some people were treated for shock. Israel has been raiding Gaza since the capture of a soldier on 25 June. Before Tuesday, Ashkelon was thought...

NEW ORLEANS - The manatees that grazed in Lake Pontchartrain before Hurricane Katrina haven't been seen since, but eight dolphins were leaping in the lake this week. "If the big critters are back, the lake is definitely coming back," Carlton Dufrechou, executive director of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, said Thursday. Flocks of pelicans and the pod of dolphins spotted Monday indicate that there are fish for them to eat, he said. Earlier in the week, the journal Environmental Science & Technology reported that tests had found the dirty floodwaters pumped out of the city may be a long-term hazard...

CHICAGO (Nov. 11) - It's a lesson children learn even before their ABCs - say you're sorry when you hurt someone. But it's now being taught in the grown-up world of medicine as a surprisingly powerful way to soothe patients and head off malpractice lawsuits. Some malpractice-reform advocates say an apology can help doctors avoid getting sued, especially when combined with an upfront settlement offer. The idea defies a long tradition in which doctors cultivated a Godlike image of infallibility and rarely owned up to their mistakes. The softer approach, now appearing in some medical school courses and hospital policies,...

Awareness Seen in Vegetative Patients Thursday October 30, 2003 8:06am Chicago (AP) - A small study suggests that some brain-damaged, vegetative patients may have greater awareness than doctors previously thought. The findings could have a bearing on right-to-die cases such as the one involving Terri Schiavo, who suffered severe brain damage in 1990 and is the subject of a family dispute over whether she should remain alive. The researcher who conducted the study said the results could lead to changes in how patients like Schiavo are diagnosed and treated. Other scientists call the work provocative but far from proof, and...

Jobs Migrate From U.S. to India By AMY WALDMAN BOMBAY — In the early morning hours of May 1, American welfare recipients reached for their phones, dialing toll-free to check on their next infusion of funds.
