close Video MLB, 'woke' companies owe Georgians an apology: Gingrich Former Georgia Rep. Newt Gingrich calls out companies like Coca-Cola and Delta who 'sold out' the state. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! The closely watched primary election season continued Tuesday with contests in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, and Texas. And per usual, the biased and out of touch mainstream media is failing to focus on some very important news due to their unhealthy fixation on former President Donald Trump. In the critically important state of Georgia for example, Republican voter intensity is at a fever pitch. In the GOP primary election for governor, more than 1.2 million Georgians went to the polls , nearly doubling 2018’s primary turnout of 607,000. Peach State Republicans sent an unmistakable message this week: what’s happening in Joe Biden’s America — namely the inflation crisis, the crime crisis and the border crisis — is totally … [Read more...] about Elections in Georgia, elsewhere show Republican voters love ‘America First’ candidates

Ted Cruz is doubling down on blaming mental health as the cause for the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 22 people dead, including 19 children and two teachers.

New York (CNN Business) Russia has spent the past half-century attempting to build a reputation on the world stage as a reliable supplier of energy. It took Vladimir Putin mere months to cast serious doubt on that reputation. "I wouldn't trust them," US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told CNN in response to a question about whether Russia will ever again be considered a reliable energy supplier. "They have to prove they are a reliable partner and they're certainly not doing that." Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions from the West have sent oil prices skyrocketing, lifting gasoline and diesel prices in the United States to unprecedented levels. Natural gas prices also have climbed around the world. Biden is 'obsessed' with lowering 'outrageous' gas prices, but presidents don't control prices, says Energy Secretary After the West imposed tough penalties on Russia, Putin warned that "unfriendly" nations would … [Read more...] about ‘I wouldn’t trust them.’ Energy Secretary blasts Russia for ‘weaponizing’ energy

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates fell this week for the second week in a row, though interest rates on the key 30-year home loan remain at decade-high levels. Economic uncertainty and weakened homebuyer demand continue to loom over mortgage rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate declined to 5.1% from 5.25% last week. By contrast, the average rate stood at 2.95% a year ago. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, dipped to 4.31% from 4.43% last week. Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve intensified its fight against the worst inflation in 40 years by raising its benchmark interest rate by a half-percentage point and signaling more big rate hikes to come. The Fed’s move, its most aggressive since 2000, means higher costs for mortgages as well as credit cards, auto loans and other borrowing for individuals and businesses. Higher borrowing rates appear to be slowing … [Read more...] about Average long-term mortgage rates fall; 30-year loan at 5.1%

He was headed across town to the place he’d worked for two decades, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s Guadalupe light rail yard. Dressed in his dark uniform with reflective stripes, Cassidy, a maintenance worker for the agency known as VTA, walked to the white Ford F-150 pickup parked in his driveway. Then, as seen in a silent, choppy video captured by a neighbor’s security camera, he hefted a large bag into the passenger side of the truck, got in and drove away. It was 5:39 a.m. Less than an hour later, neighbors were calling 911. Heavy smoke and fire were pouring from the roof of Cassidy’s home. By that time, Cassidy had made his way to the Guadalupe yard on West Young Avenue 9 miles away. It was just after … [Read more...] about A killer’s path: Tracking the San Jose shooter’s movements toward massacre
