A powerful solar storm will make the northern lights visible to most of America — including the New York City area — Friday night, but you’ll need to get out of the city if you want a chance at seeing the auroras. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has upgraded the looming geomagnetic solar storm to a level 4, which is capable of disrupting America’s electrical grid and making the northern lights visible as far south as Alabama. The key to witnessing the natural phenomena will depend on the amount of cloud coverage and light population, making upstate New...

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett says US President Joe Biden’s decision to delay a weapons shipment to Israel is “deeply misguided,” in an interview with CNN. “If Hamas is granted immunity because it hides behind civilians… that means that the whole global jihad organizations are all going to adopt human shields as the core way of conducting terror,” he says. Interview clipBennet: "...We never target civilians.” “In fact,” he continues, “we have the lowest ratio of collateral damage in the history of urban warfare.” Israel is “bending over backward in order to prevent unnecessary deaths,” he says. “Otherwise we’d get...

Joe Biden .. won't push to extend the Trump tax cuts next year ... if Congress fails to extend the Trump-era tax cuts, it means an average American family of four making $75,000 will get hit with a $1,500 tax increase. “Main Street businesses will face a 43.4 percent tax rate” and “working parents will suffer from a Child Tax Credit slashed in half” along with the standard deduction every taxpayer is due.

President Biden claimed on Wednesday that inflation was at 9% when he entered the White House in January 2021, when, in fact, the consumer price index (CPI) was at a mere 1.4% at the time. "No president has had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation," Biden told CNN's Erin Burnett in an interview. "It was 9% when I came to office – 9%." It’s a notion Biden has alluded to before. In April, the president said: "Look, we have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3%. We’re in a situation...

Joe Biden has sparked a wave of backlash over his comments on the rampant inflation affecting millions of Americans, as he oddly stated: "They have the money to spend." Within the opening three months of 2024, the American economy registered an annual growth rate of just 1.6% - significantly below the growth witnessed in the preceding quarter. Inflation lingers stubbornly above 3%, well exceeding the Federal Reserve's 2% target. On Wednesday, during his visit to Wisconsin, President Biden made a rare media appearance with CNN where he tried to hold up his administration's approach to counter rising inflation - a...

Should you have unilaterally decided to divert aid to our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, then you should come forward and defend this decision,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said in a letter he fired off to President...
