The Scunthorpe steelworks has been nationalised after the assent of the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Act to law, effectively confiscating British Steel Limited from its Chinese owner Jingye Group. The UK’s Labour government acknowledged taking on the debt-laden and unprofitable steel mill was an “expensive” decision, but said it was one of strategic importance and that it had saved 4,000 jobs. The government first took control of the Scunthorpe plant last Spring, urgently…

On Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) said that taking Kharg Island is not a good idea and Iran still has “some fight left in them. They absolutely do. We can’t hit things that are buried well within the ground, their mountains, that sort of a thing. And so, they still have a capability to reach out and touch Americans.” Harrigan stated, “I think that all options need to be on the table with Iran, with the exception of American boots on the ground. I think that that is just not something that the American people are willing to saddle…

His comments came as the House Budget Committee debated a resolution that would pave the way for drafting and passing a party-line policy bill with the power to skirt the Senate…

Did you know that the number of Americans that are out of work right now is far higher than it was at any point during the Great Recession? I know that sounds crazy, but I will prove it to you in this article. A whopping 111 million Americans do not have a job, and we are spending more than a trillion dollars a year on the social safety net that supports them. Of course we cannot afford to do this, because the national debt has already reached 39 trillion dollars and it is growing at an astounding rate. If we do not…

Nathan Sales, who served as Coordinator for Counterterrorism during the first Trump administration, said that “Any deal that we make with the Iranians, we’re going to have to give something up to get, one. Two, they’re going to cheat and steal and lie” and a deal with Iran on the nuclear program may not be needed. Sales stated, “So, first of all, what we have seen over the past week is President Trump finally lost his patience with Iranian cheating and lying. And so we’ve gone back to a…
