AC/DC formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973, founded by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. The band quickly established itself as pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal with their raw, blues-influenced sound and electrifying live performances. Angus Young’s schoolboy uniform stage persona and wild guitar antics became iconic, while the band’s straightforward, riff-driven approach to rock music set them apart from their more experimental contemporaries. Their early albums, such as High Voltage and T.N.T., showcased a band that was unapologetically loud, energetic, and committed to pure rock and roll. The band achieved massive international success throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, becoming one The post Top 10 AC/DC Albums Covers appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

The Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C., will partner with the Trump administration to fight crime in the nation’s capital, she announced Tuesday. Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an order saying that the Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center will continue to manage the city’s response to the presidential declaration of emergency and the Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which Trump created by executive order in March. The order “continues the work” of “the presidential declaration of emergency.” Last month, President Donald Trump invoked the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973 to declare an emergency in the District, authorizing him to federalize the D.C. police until Sept. 10. The White House praised Bowser for supporting the president’s effort to clean up the streets of the nation’s capital. “President Trump’s efforts to crack down on crime in D.C. have yielded tremendous results in such a short time: Violent crime has plummeted, and dangerous criminals are being removed from the streets every single night,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. “The Trump administration is grateful to continue partnering with Mayor Bowser to make D.C. the safest city in the country.” “The mayor’s fellow Democrats should take note: Working with President Trump means safer communities and less crime. No one in their right mind could seriously oppose that,” Leavitt added. The mayor has been “very helpful” in fighting crime, Trump said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “I would love to receive calls from governors and mayors saying they need help,” he said. “We’ll help them. We have a lot of people. We have a great force. We have a great military force.” Last week, Bowser thanked the Trump administration for the surge of law enforcement to the city. “We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what [the Metropolitan Police Department] has been able to do in this city,” she said in a Wednesday news conference. “The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings,” Bowser added.

A federal appeals court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday, clearing the way for it to continue terminating $16 billion in “climate” grants to nonprofits to reportedly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A split panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for D.C. ruled 2-1 to overturn U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan’s order that blocked the administration from withholding the grants. The appeals court held that Chutkan, an Obama appointee, lacked the authority to block the grants, calling her attempt to do so an “abuse … [of] discretion.” This isn’t the first such reversal for Chutkan. In March, the appeals court struck down an order she issued requiring Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to turn over documents relating to DOGE’s activities and future plans. That isn’t all. In late October 2023, Chutkan issued a gag order in one of Trump’s cases challenging the 2020 election outcome. Less than a week later, the same appeals court temporarily halted her order. It ultimately overturned her order in part and upheld it in part. Now, Chutkan finds another one of her orders struck down on appeal yet again.  Tuesday’s case concerns grants awarded by Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency in August 2024 as part of its “National Clean Investment Fund” and “Clean Communities Investment Accelerator” initiatives. The funds were held in government-controlled Citibank accounts from which nonprofit awardees could withdraw them. The nonprofits included the Climate United Fund, the Coalition for Green Capital, the Justice Climate Fund, Inc., and others. But in early 2025, President Donald Trump’s EPA decided to terminate the grants, citing conflicts of interest and a lack of government oversight. In one instance, it alleged the former director of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund—an EPA program created by the Inflation Reduction Act—personally oversaw a $5 billion grant to his previous employer. But five of the nonprofit grantees—with grants totaling $16 billion—sued, saying Trump’s decision was unconstitutional, unlawful, and “arbitrary and capricious.” In March, Chutkan sided with the nonprofits, preventing the EPA from clawing back the grant money from the Citibank accounts.  Tuesday’s appeals court decision vacates her order, giving the Trump administration the go-ahead to remove the funds.

“We cannot deter China in this state of industrial atrophy,” Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., declared on Tuesday at the fifth National Conservatism Conference in Washington. The West Virginia lawmaker, who some see as a rising star in the Republican Party, outlined how it would take U.S. reindustrialization to credibly deter China in an age of uncertainty about the fate of Taiwan and threats across the globe. Moore detailed the current advantages the Chinese Communist Party has over the United States.  “China produces more than half of the world’s steel, fueling its infrastructure and military. We’ve let our steel industry atrophy, importing from abroad, while our steel mills rust. This is not just an economic failure. It’s a strategic one,” Moore said.  He also noted the strategic vulnerability of America in its reliance on importing semiconductor chips from abroad. “These chips power everything from smartphones to missile systems. Yet the U.S. produces less than 12% of the world’s supply, while Taiwan’s TSMC dominates. If China invades Taiwan, our military and domestic economy will grind to a halt,” Moore explained. The West Virginia legislator elaborated on how even American pharmaceuticals rely on Chinese production. “Our nearly complete dependence on China to supply more than 80% of the active ingredients in pharmaceuticals gives them serious leverage,” he said, adding: China’s ability to wield our industrial weakness against us decreases our credible deterrence over Taiwan and increases the odds of China invading. “Are we going to come to Taiwan’s aid if it means that pharmacy shelves across America are suddenly empty? This answer is vital to China’s calculation of whether to invade Taiwan,” he added. Moore then laid out what it would take to rebuild the American industrial base and restore American strength. “Deterrence is a framework for grappling with those choices. It is a commitment to focusing our energies, rebuilding our industrial might, and unleashing the energy to power a 21st-century industrial base. It’s a rejection of overreach in favor of strength of focus instead of distraction,” he said.  In particular, the congressman emphasized the need to expand America’s energy production to power American manufacturing. “For the first time in my lifetime, a president took a stand for coal, signing executive orders promoting domestic coal production. But we need to go further. We must become a global juggernaut with an ‘all of the below the ground‘ approach to energy. Coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear must power our path to energy dominance,” Moore said.  Moore also joined Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts on Tuesday in praising longtime conservative stalwart Pat Buchanan, an assistant to three Republican presidents and a three-time candidate for president himself, for his prescience on the current issues facing the United States. “Buchanan was right about pretty much everything, 20 years before anyone even realized it, including his recognition that Iraq was not in alignment with our strategic national interests,” the West Virginian contended, noting that he had sent a letter to President Donald Trump recommending Buchanan, now 86, for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  “America will build again, power again, and deter again. Not everywhere. Not always. But where it matters most, with a strength that none can match,” Moore concluded.
