Conservatives are rightly concerned that Donald Trump may lose to Kamala Harris. They should not be worried about the Senate, however. The lineup of states with competitive Senate races, combined with the current polling and historic relationship between presidential and Senate outcomes, means the GOP has a near lock on...

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi arrived in Ankara on Wednesday in his first official visit to Turkey since becoming president 10 years ago. The visit reciprocates President Recep Tayyib Erdogan's trip to Cairo in February, which marked an official end to the diplomatic and political hostility between the two governments that began when Sisi ousted his democratically elected predecessor Mohamed Morsi, an Erdogan ally, in a military coup in 2013.  "...

'Firstly, (US President Joe) Biden recommended all his supporters support Mrs Harris,' Putin said during a question and answer session at Russia's Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. 'Here, we are going to do that too, we're going to support her,' he added, with a wry smile. 'She laughs so contagiously that it shows...

Riding an electric school bus seems like it would be an uncanny experience. As a kid, I remember the bus being a loud and smoggy place that left me smelling like diesel. Today there are electric buses on the road that are not only emissions-free but comparatively silent. Kids can not only talk to their friends on the bus, they can breathe. The first all-electric school bus fleet to serve a major school district started ferrying kids to class in Oakland, California, last week. The 74...

“Whatever happened to Christmas?” Frank Sinatra once asked. In Venezuela, the answer is that it has been brought forward to October. The country’s strongman president, Nicolás Maduro, made the curious announcement that this year’s festivities would begin in October on Monday, in the midst of a political bleak midwinter for his crisis-stricken land. “It’s September and it already feels like Christmas.

Aformer Virginia police officer on Wednesday became the first January 6 defendant to receive a reduced sentence after the Supreme Court narrowed the scope of an obstruction charge used against Jan. 6 rioters. The Supreme Court in June made it more difficult to charge the defendants with obstruction but charges can still be brought if prosecutors can prove that rioters were intentionally trying to stop the arrival of certificates used to certify electoral votes during the riot.
