The Trump administration has again extended its emergency order keeping a west Michigan coal plant operating.U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright issued a fifth emergency order earlier this week requiring the J.H. Campbell coal plant in West Olive to remain available through Aug. 16, extending operations more than a year past its original retirement date. The Campbell plant, which began operating in 1962 and is owned by Consumers Energy, is the utility’s last remaining coal-fired power plant. The facility generates enough electricity to serve roughly 1 million people. The latest order follows a series of previous 90-day extensions. The Department of…

In the wake of several close elections and a few Republican upsets, Democratic Party elites are increasingly embracing rhetoric that suggests a growing contempt for the will of the voters and an eagerness to circumvent the democratic process to beat the opposition party.The redistricting wars have resulted in Republicans gaining a modest advantage in the upcoming race for control of the House, and legal setbacks to Democratic countermeasures have resulted in pivotal political leaders voicing their frustrations in increasingly provocative ways. “Either MAGA extremists are gonna break the country or we are gonna break them,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said…

The architect who is part of the consortium awarded the contract to redesign the historic New York Penn Station has a years long history of anti-Trump posts on a now-deleted social media account.  “With our beautiful brown son growing up with Obama as President, and our beautiful brown daughter now seeing Harris as VP candidate and heir apparent–all with the madness of Trump in between–it’s like having some foul spoiled turkey between two delicious pieces of brown bread,” Vishaan Chakrabarti posted to his X account, which has since been deleted, in August 2020. This post is one of a handful of…

Over the past 20 years, the U.S. made unconventional oil drilling more than just economically viable. It shifted the entire global energy picture as America was launched into the top position of oil-producing countries. However, production in shale plays will gradually decline over decades, and companies will likely have to look for opportunities to sustain their portfolios. Most of those opportunities will be abroad, but developing those resources won’t be easy.  America enjoyed the ideal conditions for the development of the technologies – pairing hydraulic fracturing with long lateral horizontal drilling called “fracking” – that allowed producers to extract oil from…

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution outlining the locations of drop boxes for the upcoming early-voting period without consulting Recorder Justin Heap.The board approved the resolution while it continues to deal with an ongoing lawsuit with Heap about who runs specific election functions. In April, a judge ruled in favor of Heap, saying the board members need to hand over control of specific election functions to his office. The board sought a stay of the motion, but the Arizona Superior Court denied it. The board then announced it was appealing the lower court’s decision. “Our job…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. In April, New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani, claimed that the city was facing a ‘historic’ budget crisis. Now, he wants to spend $4.2 billion on services for the homeless. So which is it? Does a city in a budget crisis have that kind of cash to spend on homeless services? Also, does anyone believe there will be any drop in the number of homeless people after he does this? The number could actually go up as a result once it becomes known that the city has money to burn on this.…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. In case you haven’t noticed, Democrats and their media allies are pulling out all the stops to drag Maine senate candidate Graham Platner across the finish line. After spending years calling Trump ‘Hitler’ and his supporters ‘Nazis’ the Democrats are now tying themselves into knots trying to defend a guy who had an actual Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest for years, and then only covering it up with another tattoo now that he is running for office. Platner has also come under fire for online comments in which he disparaged women, black people, gays, rape…

Ken Martin / Screenshot ABC1 Democrats are furious about the long awaited 2024 election autopsy report. DNC Chair Ken Martin slow walked releasing the report for months and when it finally came out this week, no one on the left was happy about it. They’re angry about how long it took to release it. They’re angry about what it says, and they’re angry about what it doesn’t say. Amazingly, the report completely avoids some of the issues that crushed the Democrats, issues that were extremely important to voters, like the border and immigration, trans people in sports and locker rooms,…

President Donald Trump’s deputies are closing the hidden process used by former presidents to covertly legalize or amnesty millions of economic migrants during the last few decades. “This could be a HUGE move,” said a tweet from the Immigration Accountability Project Action group, On Friday, officials announced that migrants in the United States who want to use the little-recognized and fast-track “Adjustment of Status” (AOS) pathway to green cards — and then citizenship — must instead follow the normal legalization pathway that goes through the U.S. embassies in their home countries. This change will impact millions of economic migrants in the United…

The government of Saudi Arabia reassured visitors on Friday that it is prepared to screen for and otherwise address any public health threats during the upcoming Hajj season, responding to growing international concern about the spread of Ebola and hantavirus.

Anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil’s legal team said Friday it will petition the Supreme Court to block their client’s deportation, after a federal appeals court declined to get involved.The Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a split 6-5 decision earlier Friday that the court’s full panel would not be taking up his appeal, allowing an earlier ruling to stand, which found a federal court judge lacked the authority to weigh in on the lawfulness of a migrant’s detention, according to the New York Daily News. Khalil’s team told the outlet they will seek an immediate stay preventing…

Democratic senators are continuing to keep their distance from the growing controversy surrounding Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate hoping to unseat longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, even as a series of resurfaced comments threaten to complicate what many Democrats viewed as one of their strongest pickup opportunities in 2026. When approached by Fox News Digital this week, several Democratic lawmakers either declined to weigh in directly on Platner’s past remarks or said they were not closely following the race. “I’m not following that race closely,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said when asked about the controversy surrounding Platner. That…

The plan for Starship flight test 12 was pretty simple. Do all the things you did on flight test 11 but with a new ship, new booster, new engines and a new launch pad. The goal is to see how all the new hardware performs under essentially the same conditions as the last test flight. That means no catch of the booster, just a plan for a water landing. The ship is intended to enter orbit, deploy some mock satellites, and then water land in the Indian Ocean. Advertisement The biggest change this time around was the use of the…

The $108 million band-aid: Why America’s Cold War relic – THE HAWK SYSTEM – is being sent to Ukraine The United States has just approved a $108.1 million sale of maintenance equipment for the HAWK missile system to Ukraine, a transaction that reveals far more about Western military vulnerability than it does about Ukrainian strength. This is not a story about a superpower arming an ally; it is a story about a desperate scramble to keep a 1950s-era weapons platform operational because modern alternatives are too expensive, too scarce, and too slow to produce. While the Pentagon frames this as…

PFAS forever chemicals face regulatory shift under Trump, sparking debate on health protections The Trump administration’s PFAS plan includes $1 billion for underserved communities but risks regulatory delays and weakened safeguards. Critics warn the effort to rescind Biden-era drinking water limits could prolong millions of Americans’ exposure to toxic forever chemicals. Health Secretary Kennedy frames PFAS as a driver of chronic disease, yet environmental groups call the approach a distraction. The initiative preserves strict standards for PFOA and PFOS but extends compliance deadlines for smaller municipalities. More than 200 million Americans face PFAS-contaminated water as the new strategy faces backlash…

Every day, millions of Americans reach for processed foods, energy drinks, and synthetic vitamins, all while their cells quietly scream for one essential mineral. Magnesium, the unsung workhorse of human biology, powers over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It regulates muscle contractions, stabilizes heart rhythms, strengthens the immune system, and even governs how your nerves communicate. Yet the standard American diet, laden with refined grains, sugar, and industrial seed oils, systematically strips this mineral from the body. Let’s explore some of the best food-based ways to get this crucial mineral working in the body, to improve organ function across…

The current economic crash is not a glitch but a deliberate feature of the globalist agenda to render humans obsolete. The real economy, indicated by falling freight rates and trucking bankruptcies like Yellow Corp, is seizing up while Wall Street profits from printed money. Tech companies like Meta and Google are not just firing people but eliminating entire job categories through AI, creating a “concierge economy” where algorithms replace workers. Ghost jobs are fake postings used to feed resumes into the AI systems that are replacing applicants. AI can mimic but can never be inspired; it cannot feel, love or…

Israeli military faces mounting crisis as sexual assault complaints surge and soldier casualties soar In 2025 alone, the Israeli military received approximately 2,500 formal complaints of sexual assault and harassment, representing likely only the tip of the iceberg of a much larger crisis. Of these thousands of complaints, fewer than 2% (only 42) resulted in indictments, with the vast majority (59%) being buried through internal administrative measures like reprimands and dismissals rather than criminal proceedings, clearly designed to protect the institution over victims. The true number of victims is estimated to be as high as 20,000, with only about 2,400…

The golden years’ nutritional reckoning: Why seven nutrients now matter more than ever Protein, vitamin B12, fiber, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for muscle retention, brain function and bone health. To preserve muscle mass and prevent falls, experts recommend 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Aging reduces the body’s ability to absorb B12 from food, often requiring a supplement to prevent cognitive impairment. Calcium (1,000-1,200 mg daily) and vitamin D (15-20 mcg daily) work together to prevent bone density loss and osteoporosis. Magnesium supports muscle, nerve and blood sugar…

Study: Almost All People Carry Multiple PFAS in Their Blood, Mixtures May Amplify Risks Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of synthetic chemicals widely used since the 1940s, are present in the bloodstream of most Americans, according to multiple studies. New research highlighted by public health officials indicates that nearly all individuals carry more than one type of PFAS, and the combination of these compounds may pose greater health risks than single chemicals alone. The findings have prompted calls for a shift from single-chemical risk assessments to mixture-based evaluations. The analysis of more than 10,000 human blood samples found…
