A bipartisan bill that will advance the development of nuclear energy power plants in the nation was passed by the United States Senate on Tuesday.
In an 88-2 vote, the Senate voted to pass the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act, which is part of the Fire Grants and Safety Act (S.8.70), according to a press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW). The ADVANCE Act will now move forward to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed. “Today, we sent the ADVANCE Act to the president’s desk because Congress worked together to recognize the importance of nuclear

The intelligence community is telling Congress that the warning lights are flashing bright red. Is anyone paying attention?
Former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell is urging the Biden administration to 'do something.' Morell and Graham Allison, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans, wrote an op-ed for Foreign Affairs earlier this month.
It's the open southern border, stupid.
"Given the particular vulnerability of the southern border, Biden’s recent executive order to restrict asylum processing is a valuable step toward limiting entry to the United States," Morell and Graham Allison, former United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans,

As our sister site Townhall reported, Silicon Valley progressive Allison Huynh, who co-created a robotics and AI company that was sold to Google, has decided to change her Obama-loving ways and back Donald Trump in the presidential election over failed incumbent Joe Biden. She believes that Democrats have lost their way, and no place is that more obvious than in the former jewel of California, San Francisco:
“He’s allowed Big Tech as well as the looters to take over Silicon Valley,” she told “Fox & Friends First.”
“San Francisco has been the science experiment that’s gone awry. I wake up in the morning, there’s no grocery stores

BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.
The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.
Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow.

Supporters of the climate-activism organization Just Stop Oil sprayed paint on World Heritage Site Stonehenge and were arrested on Wednesday, just before thousands are expected to visit the historic structures for the summer solstice.
“Today’s action has come days after the Labour party’s manifesto has recommitted them to stopping all future licences for new oil and gas, should they form the next government,” reads a statement by Just Stop Oil. The United Kingdom will hold a general election on July 4, 2024.
Niamh Lynch, a 21-year-old undergraduate student at Oxford University, and Rajan Naidu, 73, began spraying orange powder paint on Stonehenge around noon,

So, this is all just kind of fun speculation, mind you. Brought on, of course, not by my twisted imagination - even I have my limits - but by a convergence of events and signs from the Heavens.
First, what was that rumble from the turgid bowels of the WaPo?
Was Taylor Lorenz hacking up another hairball?
Gads, no.
It's someone once mistaken for a respected columnist. And what she had to say was shocking in the extreme...but, oh, so tempting...
Democrats are wrestling with an age-old problem
Maybe Hillary Clinton could come to the rescue. DON'T PLAY WITH THEIR EMOTIONS THAT WAY
And then she does, logically and coldly setting up the scenario

There were congressional primaries in Virginia and Oklahoma on Tuesday, along with runoff elections for several Georgia House seats. Results are still coming in for some of the Virginia House seats, but in the Senate, Republican Hung Cao has won the primary and will face off against incumbent Democrat Senator Tim Kaine in November. Former President Trump endorsed Cao last month, writing on Truth Social, "A Combat Veteran and Highly Decorated Special Operations Officer, Hung Cao will be a tireless fighter to stop inflation, grow our Economy, secure our Border, strong support our incredible Military/Vets, and defend our always under siege Second Amendment."
"Hung Cao has my Complete

Mere hours after it went viral that French courts had banned Israelis from the defense show Eurosatory, they have rescinded the ban. It's understandable, considering the shameful information about the ban that surfaced, but it's somewhat surprising to see someone actually backtrack their antisemitism. Let's be clear, though — France is no hero. There are obvious benefits for them in rescinding the ban. It was hardly a show without the 74 Israeli companies or affiliates that had been disinvited.
In fact, immediately after the ban garnered international attention, people started to call out the hypocrisy, considering Israeli technology was among some of the main attractions in the exhibition.

Over one thousand humanitarian aid trucks languished on the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom border crossing, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday, adding that UN officials claimed that looting of trucks made the distribution of the aid too dangerous.
On Sunday, Israel announced a “tactical pause of military activity” along the road stretching from the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Salah al-Din Road before continuing north.
The IDF noted that the pause, which took place from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, was part of a joint effort with the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) to increase the amount of humanitarian aid going into Gaza.

Earlier this month, someone set a police SUV on fire at UC Berkeley. An anonymous statement taking credit was posted on a site called Abolition Media. It reads in part:
This act was done in retaliation against UCPD, for their attack on students yesterday on a different campus and to retaliate against the University of California for its support for the zionist israel settler colony. More specifically – this attempt to torch a police car in front of the university was in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings assaulted by the zionist state in Rafah. It came from a place of love for Palestine, and love for revolution and liberation

WASHINGTON – The House Ethics Committee said Tuesday that it's expanding its investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, R.-Fla., to include “additional allegations” that the Florida lawmaker sought to obstruct the probe as the panel looks into accusations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and more.
In a statement, the Committee said it had difficulty obtaining information from Gaetz during the course of its 3-year investigation. It added that the officials reviewing the case have issued “25 subpoenas and reviewed thousands of pages of documents,” related to misconduct accusations.
The probe into the Florida lawmaker has been ongoing since April 2021. The ethics committee is looking into a variety of claims

An independent scientist and accomplished businessman delivered testimony before the Senate Tuesday morning going into detail on why he believes the coronavirus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Dr. Steven Quay, a scientist who authored a widely viewed Bayesian analysis concluding that the virus originated from a lab, testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and read a detailed opening statement dissecting the data backing up his belief that the virus came from the Wuhan lab.
Quay, who has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and was on the faculty at the Stanford University School of Medicine, described “six approaches”
