Senate Democrats are openly venting their frustration at the stalled state of both elections reform and President Joe Biden’s sweeping spending ambitions as their work winds down for the year. Front and center is the imminent expiration of the expanded child tax credit, now caught up in a dispute between most of the party and […]

For the past 50 years, many museums around the world have used nuclear techniques to help preserve some of the world’s most important historical and cultural artefacts.

Among the policy proposals included in the “Build Back Better” Act championed by the Biden administration and congressional Democrats is legislation the White House describes as “the largest investment in childcare in the nation’s history.” The sweeping social policies would include universal and free prekindergarten and expanded child tax credits; child care activists back the […]

En 2020, un tiers des attaques de piraterie mondiale et plus de 95 % des enlèvements de marins enregistrés se sont produits dans cette région vaste comme la Méditerranée.

The case for school choice is very straightforward. Monopoly government school systems cost a lot of money and do a bad job. The interests of the education bureaucracy rank higher than the educational needs of kids. Poor families are especially disadvantaged. School choice puts parents in charge. Lots of evidence, including from overseas, shows choice […]

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts this week concluded an eight-day mission to Uganda to review the country’s infrastructure development for a nuclear power programme.

But I don’t have to deal with that potential quandary because we have ample evidence that you don’t get prosperity by giving money to politicians in poor countries.

“As a young man in a small town,” Bob Dole said when he announced his candidacy for the White House in 1995, “my parents taught me to put my trust in God, not government, and never confuse the two.” It was a logical thing to say, when he was running against a government-loving liberal like […]

I’m not a fan of Joe Biden’s economic policy, particularly his tax-and-spend agenda. I also don’t approve when the Biden Administration uses phony numbers and phony arguments. But what’s really baffling is the use of accurate numbers to make dumb arguments. What do I mean by that? Well, here’s a tweet from the Democratic Congressional […]

Greg Gutfeld introduced a mock survey question on “The Five” that went too far.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday in the most significant abortion case it has considered since it established the constitutional right to the procedure in the 1973 decision Roe v.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday said the central bank will consider pulling back emergency support for the economy more quickly than planned in the face of elevated inflation, signaling growing concern over rising costs in areas from food to rent. Powell’s comment came after the Fed already announced earlier this month that it […]

A dozen Grade-A eggs will run you about $0.40 more than they did a year ago, and you’ll have to fork over $0.66 more for a pound of ground beef. At the gas pump, a gallon of unleaded is now $1.23 higher than it was in 2020. But few year-over-year price increases compare to what’s […]

“The concept of a ‘safety culture’ is something that I identified for myself as very important, early on in my career,” says Maria Moracho Ramirez, Senior Safety Officer at the IAEA. “It relates to a culture of behaviour, and if you’ve been a trainer, you know that training for influencing behaviours is very complicated.”
