DAVID BOSSIE: Campus Craziness Will Get Worse With A Second Biden Term

There’s an antisemitic and anti-American insurrection taking place on college campuses around the country, and it must be recognized as such and dealt with before it’s too late. The lack of courage being shown by President Joe Biden and his cowardly administration is appalling and should tell the American people all they need to know about the lengths to which this disgraceful bunch in the White House will go in order to cling to power. As American flags are torn down and hate is spewed by professional agitators and deranged students who hate America and Israel–and who would like to

Biden’s Signature Climate Law Has A Major Achilles’ Heel — And Dems Are Making It Worse

President Joe Biden’s landmark climate bill is being held back by a lack of comprehensive permitting reform, the absence of which enables environmentalist lawsuits that impede green energy projects subsidized by the legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) contained hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize green energy projects nationwide, but the bill did not include significant reform to the permitting process that would expedite construction timelines and insulate developments from environmental legal challenges. Unless Congressional Democrats can negotiate a permitting reform package with Republicans in an election year, these problems will continue to dog the IRA’s implementation, energy policy

Potential Change To Biden’s Power Plant Scheme Would Make Bad Idea Even Worse, Grid Experts Warn Nick Pope on March 18, 2024 The Biden administration is reportedly contemplating moving up the timeline for part of its plan to alter the American power system, a move which would likely exacerbate the potential for reliability issues, power grid experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

A Bad Week for NJ Republicans About to Get Worse as Another Seat on Verge of Loss

MEDFORD, NJ – Democrat Andrea Katz has taken a slim lead over Republican incumbent Brandon Umba in New Jersey’s Legislative District 8. Katz leads by just 27 votes, with tallies showing 27,037 for Katz and 27,010 for Umba. The outcome remains uncertain due to New Jersey’s complex vote-by-mail system, with hundreds of mail-in and provisional ballots yet to be counted. This delay could extend the wait for final results, potentially leading to a recount. Meanwhile, Republican Assemblyman Michael Torrissi maintains the lead in his race with 27,502 votes. Democrat Anthony Angelozzi trails in fourth place with 26,849 votes. In the

The few storms that have made landfall in this hurricane season, like Hurricane Idalia, which hit Florida in late August, have had impacts comparatively limited in scope and scale. With any luck, this fortunate trend will continue through the rest of this hurricane season since an

Explainer-Why is China’s economy slowing down and could it get worse?

HONG KONG (Reuters) – China’s economic growth is slowing down as policymakers try to fix a property market downturn, with troubles at major developer Country Garden in focus.

BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s central bank governor Roberto Campos Neto said on Saturday that the latest inflation data had worsened but underscored the bank’s non-reliance on singular index readings to shape its policy decisions. “Recently, we even had a slightly worse inflation number, very loaded with volatile elements,” he said at an event hosted by think tank EsferaBR. “But we don’t behave with real-time data. We look at it (inflation) as a trend.” Inflation hit 4.24% in the 12 months through mid-August, accelerating for the third fortnight in a row and beating market forecasts. Earlier this month, the central bank
