The ‘great transition’ to renewable energy has so far been an expensive policy belly flop. The Biden administration has spent tens of billions of dollars on green energy, yet last year America and the world used record amounts of fossil fuels. That would seem to be prima facie evidence that this “great transition” to renewable energy has so far been an expensive policy belly flop. The evidence is everywhere. Americans aren’t buying electric vehicles any more than they were before President...

All eyes are on Rafah. And Papua. And Sudan. And the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Weeks after an AI-generated image of the Gazan city became a widely shared symbol of protest against Israel’s military campaign that has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and over a million displaced, versions of the viral slogan have been recast to raise awareness of other causes around the world. Perhaps most prominently, images and online posts promoting “All Eyes on Papua” have been shared and...

Hallie Biden scheduled to testify as government looks to rest case The gun store clerk who sold Hunter Biden the handgun at the center of the government's case returns to the witness stand this morning on Day 4 of the trial as prosecutors look to wrap up their case against the president's son. Prosecutors said at the end of Wednesday's proceedings that they plan to call six more witnesses -- including Hallie Biden, perhaps their most crucial witness -- before resting their case, which could...

NORMANDY, France — It is never too late to do the right thing for an American hero. For more than three years, the unit where I serve, First Army, has worked to honor one of our former soldiers, a D-Day medic credited with saving some 200 lives on Omaha Beach 80 years ago today. He was severely wounded but worked for 30 straight hours, through blood loss and a hail of bullets, to do what our best warriors always try to do: save those to their right and left. The...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is to blame for the delay in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case, some legal experts have said. An appeals court in Georgia on Wednesday has indefinitely paused the case against Trump, pending a ruling on defendants' efforts to disqualify Willis from the investigation. Analysts have criticized the prosecutor leading the case against Trump and his co-defendants who have been accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election...

For much of the past year we had been pounding the table on two very simple facts:  not only has the US labor market been appallingly weak, with most of the jobs "gained" in 2023 and meant to signal how strong the Biden "recovery" has been, about to be revised away (as first the Philly Fed and now Bloomberg both admit), but more shockingly, all the job growth in the past few years has gone to illegal aliens. We first pointed this out more than a year ago,...

It might seem strange to call a member of the Kennedy family "a political outsider," and yet Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s outsider label is fueling his quest for the White House this year. Kennedy's supporters see a man who speaks the truth and is running against "the system."   Kennedy has told supporters, "I know that when I get into the White House, I can give you back your country." In an age when trust in government is seen as having reached a low point, Kennedy is attracting both...

House Republicans say they aren’t finished with Anthony Fauci. Emboldened by newly uncovered emails showing attempts by top aides to evade public record laws and lingering anger over coronavirus mitigation efforts, Republicans say they want to bring criminal charges against the nation’s former top infectious diseases official.   Fauci was widely viewed as the public face of the coronavirus pandemic, but Republicans think they are close to finding a smoking gun proving not only...

An Israeli strike early Thursday on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza killed more than 30 people, including 23 women and children, according to local health officials. The Israeli military said that Hamas militants were operating from within the school. It was the latest instance of mass casualties among Palestinians trying to find refuge as Israel expands its offensives in the Gaza Strip. A day earlier, the military announced a new ground and air assault in central...
