If Congress were doing its job, the states wouldn’t have to. Why isn’t Idaho on this list? Rep. Brian Seitz (R-Branson) will enter his third session when the Missouri General Assembly convenes in Springfield on Jan. 4 and, for the third time, he is sponsoring a bill that would require state lawmakers to scrutinize and, […]

Many industries were hit hard by the global pandemic, but it can be argued that air travel suffered one of the most severe blows. The aviation industry as a whole suffered an estimated $370 billion loss in global revenue because of COVID-19. And, as Visual Capitalists’ Carmen Ang explains below, while air travel has been

Alternatively, you could choose not to live in a desert. Arizona’s Water Infrastructure Finance Authority has been tasked with reviewing a proposal for a multibillion-dollar project to construct a water desalination plant in Mexico that would pump water through a 200-mile pipeline to the border state as part of an effort to counter its drought-driven

 They are the War Party when a Democrat is in the White House. Then they pretend they are doves. The Democrats position themselves as the party of virtue, cloaking their support for the war industry in moral language stretching back to Korea and Vietnam, when President Ngo Dinh Diem was as lionized as Ukrainian President

Lithium is often dubbed as “white gold” for electric vehicles. The lightweight metal plays a key role in the cathodes of all types of lithium-ion batteries that power EVs. Accordingly, the recent rise in EV adoption has sent lithium production to new highs. In the infographic below, Visual Capitalist’s Govind Bhutada and Sam Parker chart

 Politicians and many scientists (those who profit) have lost sight of the scientific method and scientific debate. Musk revealed in the Twitter Files—a collection of internal emails and communications made public by Musk—the company suppressed early treatment options for COVID-19, and vaccine safety concerns, Dr. Peter McCullough said in an interview on Newsmakers by NTD

Imagine that! Allowing the scientific method to work. Twitter CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet Wednesday he is enacting a new Twitter Policy related to post on the platform about science. “New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science,” Musk wrote. No further details of the

 And because Biden is in the White House, the Dems have become war hawks. A Swedish group that assesses catastrophic risks warned in its annual report this year that the risk of nuclear weapons use is higher today than at any point since the US dropped nuclear weapons on Japan in 1945, AFP reported on

I’m reminded of an old ‘Night Gallery’ episode on television. In the episode, all students reaching a certain age were required to take a special academic test. Students that did too well on the test were eliminated (literally). This is done in the name of “fairness” and “equity”.  Let’s punish the achievers and reward the

Seattle’s home prices have crashed 50% Couldn’t happen to a nicer state. Existing home sales crashed but new home sales rebounded in November, which leaves today’s pending home sales as the deciding vote for just how apparently dismal the US housing market really is.. and the decision is – the housing market is in trouble

This story is weird on so many levels. A juvenile shooting a gun at an adult in another car? There’s more to this story. From the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: Moscow police arrested a juvenile allegedly involved in a shooting Monday afternoon on the north side of Moscow. No one was injured during the shooting, according

The sons and I need to check this place out! Via the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: MOSCOW — Limited seating in the upper story of a downtown Moscow building is intended to create a speak-easy vibe at a new Moscow drinking establishment. Neat is located at 107 First St., No. 107, on the second floor of the

This is a follow-up from the Moscow-Pullman Daily News: These photos are from Zach Wilkinson of the Daily News. Parks and roads were submerged in standing water Tuesday in Moscow as precipitation and melting snow pushed Paradise Creek past its flood stage. The National Weather Service reported the creek’s water level was at 10.7 feet

We had near-record flooding at Paradise Creek (which runs along the Moscow-Pullman Highway in front of the UI). It was one of the highest levels I’ve ever seen. And it was less than 4” from the record high. You will notice a jump in levels. There was an error with the gauge, and when it

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you, that the CIA would be involved in the Ukraine war. The CIA has been using a European NATO country’s intelligence services to conduct sabotage attacks inside Russia since the February invasion of Ukraine, investigative journalist Jack Murphy reported on Saturday, citing unnamed former US intelligence and military officials. The

No big surprise here. The USA also has had biological weapons ambitions for years. China had made clear its biological weapons ambitions long before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Wenstrup together with Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

That’s a big head start to overtake. How long will Tesla hold onto its dominant electric vehicle (EV) market share? This is one of the biggest questions facing the U.S. automotive industry. On one hand, Tesla has a very strong brand and loyal customer base (similar to Apple). The company also has a headstart in

They (Joe and Hunter both) are going to need a good lawyer. As House Republicans gear up to grill Hunter Biden over a wide range of alleged influence peddling and other illegal activities with members of the Biden family, the First Son has hired famous white collar criminal defense attorney Abbe Lowell of the firm Winston
