close Video ‘Universal consensus’ potential Trump indictment is ‘very politicized’: Jon Levine New York Post political reporter Jon Levine and Washington Examiner chief reporter Byron York discuss a Chinese-American bank giving Biden family records to GOP and a potential indictment against former President Donald Trump. Former President Trump holds a double-digit lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical 2024 Republican presidential nomination matchup and remains competitive with President Biden in a potential general election rematch, according to a new national poll. The poll from Quinnipiac University released on Wednesday also indicates that a majority of Americans say Trump should be disqualified from running for the White House again if criminal charges are filed against him in ongoing local and federal investigations. The survey is the latest to indicate that Trump — who in November launched his third presidential campaign … [Read more...] about Trump holds big lead over DeSantis in ’24 GOP race, but most voters say he should be disqualified if indicted

Senator Josh Hawley 's hopes of seeing unanimous support for his TikTok ban are beginning to look more like wishful thinking than an easy task, as a growing number of Republicans put more obstacles in his way. In an opinion piece published by the Courier Journal on Wednesday, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul broke with his GOP colleagues to argue that banning TikTok in the United States risks emulating censorship from the Chinese government. Calls to ban the Chinese-owned social media app have grown amid concerns about national security threats posed by TikTok. There has been broad support for a ban both in Congress and from the White House. However, testifying on Capitol Hill last week, TikTok CEO Shou Chew insisted that his company was independent of China, pointing out that the app itself is not available in mainland China and saying TikTok's user data is "American data stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel." Hawley had already … [Read more...] about Josh Hawley’s TikTok ban suffers another blow

Tech & Science Environmental Health Your skin is teeming with microbes. Millions of them. From the perspective of these tiny organisms, the surface of your body is their living, breathing habitat. This living layer is part of what's called the human microbiome—the collective genomes of all the "foreign" microorganisms that live in the human body—and research on it has exploded in recent years. But within microbiome research is a brand-new field that is just beginning to understand a stunning fact: Your microbiome extends beyond yourself, into the air around you. It hovers in a cloud around your body and leaves bits of itself on surfaces wherever you go. In short, you have an aura, except it isn't made of purplish light; it's your personal cloud of dead skin cells, fungus and many, many microbes. And researchers are learning to be able to identify you by it. "You know the dirty kid from Peanuts? Pig-Pen? It turns out we all look like that," says James Meadow, a data … [Read more...] about Auras Are Real, and Yours Looks Like Pig-Pen’s

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Tuesday that unless his nation wins a drawn-out battle in a key eastern city, Russia could begin building international support for a deal that could require Ukraine to make unacceptable compromises. He also invited the leader of China , long aligned with Russia, to visit. If Bakhmut fell to Russian forces, their president, Vladimir Putin , would “sell this victory to the West, to his society, to China, to Iran,” Zelenskyy said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press. “If he will feel some blood — smell that we are weak — he will push, push, push,” Zelenskyy said in English, which he used for virtually all of the interview. The leader spoke to the AP aboard a train shuttling him across Ukraine, to cities near some of the fiercest fighting and others where his country’s forces have successfully repelled Russia’s invasion. The AP is the first news organization to travel extensively with Zelenskyy since the … [Read more...] about Any Russian victory could be perilous, Ukraine’s Zelenskyy warns

close Video GOP Presidential candidate Nikki Haley on how to combat gun violence Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley says treating the mental health is the priority in combating gun violence. Haley was interviewed by Fox News Digital after holding a town hall in Salem, New Hampshire on March 28, 2023. SALEM, N.H. – EXCLUSIVE – Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley says in the wake of this week’s deadly school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, the focus needs to be on combating the mental health crisis rather than on new legislation banning assault weapons. "My heart fell like everybody else’s when we heard about Nashville," the former ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina governor said at a town hall on the campaign trail in Salem, New Hampshire on Tuesday, as she referenced the attack at a Christian school in Nashville, where a shooter armed with two assault-style rifles and a handgun killed three … [Read more...] about Nikki Haley says treating shootings as only a ‘gun issue is the lazy way out’ after Nashville school tragedy

Public outrage is swift following mass shootings, such as the killing of six people at a Christian elementary school in Nashville. Sorrow and sympathy are widespread. But what comes next from policymakers is likely to depend on which political party is in charge of a state. Don’t expect new gun controls in Republican-led states, such as Tennessee or Texas. But when similar tragedies occur in Democratic-led states, more gun limits are likely — even if they already have restrictive laws. Mass shootings generally don’t seem to change a state’s basic political makeup. “Democratic-led states tend to focus more on firearm restrictions whereas Republican-led states do not and often emphasize lessening regulations on guns,” said Jaclyn Schildkraut, executive director of the Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium at the Rockefeller Institute of Government. The fact that responses seem predicated by Republican and Democratic labels is perhaps an indication of the nation’s … [Read more...] about Mass shootings seldom shift partisan policies despite outcry

Kari Lake has accused Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs ' press secretary of having "made light of a mass shooting" and "called for more violence," after she posted a photograph of a woman with two guns, which she said were aimed at "transphobes," hours after a deadly school shooting on Monday. Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old who police say identified as transgender, opened fire at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, shortly after 10 a.m. on Monday. Six people were killed, including three children, before Hale was shot dead by police. Body camera footage of the incident has been released by the Metro Nashville Police Department. The shooting sparked a fierce debate, with senior Democrats calling for more gun control, while a number of prominent conservatives suggested, without providing any evidence, that the attack could have been linked to Hale receiving gender affirming medical treatment .

Three years after Donald Trump stampeded through the presidential primary on a wave of free media , Democrats still harbor fear that the news industry, and CNN in particular, hasn’t learned its lessons. That criticism grew more pronounced last week after CNN announced it would hold a town hall with former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz . Schultz, unlike several elected Democratic officials, is undecided about running for president, has little evident support in public polls, and is attempting to promote his current book. But he has been awarded a platform that many actually announced candidates have yet to be given, leaving Democrats with the impression that a candidate’s celebrity is, once again, being prioritized over other campaign elements, including grassroots energy or small-dollar support. “CNN is free to make their own editorial decisions in 2020, just as they made the editorial decision in 2016 to spend hours broadcasting Donald Trump’s empty podium,” an adviser to a … [Read more...] about CNN Under Fire for Howard Schultz Town Hall
