Nuclear energy undergoing revival in United States
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/30/2025 1:23:29 PM
Nuclear energy in the United States is undergoing a revival. FOX Business correspondent Jeff Flock, reporting Wednesday from the site of a planned Natura Resources small modular nuclear reactor in Texas, said the U.S. has a "voracious appetite for energy" that nuclear reactors can help meet. Natura Resources, founded by Doug Robinson, is developing molten salt reactors, a type of advanced small nuclear reactor. Its molten salt research reactor at Abilene Christian University in west-central Texas is scheduled to go live in just a couple of years.

Influencer Valentina Gomez probably won’t be asked to attend next year’s Texas Muslim Capitol Day.
On Tuesday, Raw Story reported that Gomez attended this year’s event, and she posted footage to social media platform X of herself taking to the podium while ripping of a hijab and addressing a crowd of Muslims.
Gomez included the caption, “Islam has no place in Texas. Help me to Congress so we can end the Islamization of America. I only fear God.” Speaking into the microphone, Gomez unleashed on the crowd, telling them that “Islam is the religion of rape, incest, and pedophilia where they bow down to a stupid rock and a false prophet.”

Ford CEO Jim Farley got under the hood of the automaker's commitment to American manufacturing Tuesday on FOX Business, telling "Mornings with Maria" host Maria Bartiromo that one sprawling Kentucky truck plant showcases President Trump's vision for the U.S. auto industry.
"This is one of the biggest, most profitable plants in the world. [It's] certainly our most important – it makes the Super Duty, the new Expedition and Navigator, [which are all] super popular vehicles…" Farley said, speaking live from the plant.
Rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, the plant houses over 9,000 employees, providing what Farley coined "good" but "hard" jobs – leaving workers to face temperatures over

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will stop the Trump administration from tracking down and deporting illegals. And they're reportedly using all means necessary, including the United States Postal Service (USPS), to identify those who are on American soil illegally.
According to a rather disapproving report by the Washington Post, the USPS's storied Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) has joined forces with the mass deportation efforts of President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USPS is now apparently playing a major role in the intragovernmental DHS task force that is responsible for finding, detaining, and deporting illegals. The move makes a ton of
Hundreds of angry Chinese workers are marching in the streets of China’s industrial cities to protest layoffs and unpaid wages after President Donald Trump’s tariffs forced their factories to shut down.
Unemployment was already a big problem for China’s faltering post-pandemic economy, particularly youth unemployment, and now analysts are predicting Trump’s tariffs could wipe out more than 16 million jobs.
Radio Free Asia (RFA) on Tuesday quoted Goldman Sachs analysts who predicted communications, apparel, and chemical manufacturers would be especially hard hit. One of the biggest strikes and protest marches occurred last week at a factory that produces sporting goods. A company representative hastily hung up the phone
During an interview with Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) responded to a question on whether he would support actions like those taken in the case of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan by stating that while he doesn’t know all of the details of the Dugan case, “they’re not illegal aliens. They are our neighbors. We care about them. We love them.”
Host Amy Hockert asked, “A lot of people read in the headlines in the last couple of weeks, the last week or so, this judge in Wisconsin who was arrested and then charged with obstructing an immigration operation at a courthouse. Would you
As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
How else can you make sense of or explain how two unrelated state court judges, 1,072 miles (Massachusetts and Wisconsin) and seven years apart, broke federal law by actively assisting an illegal alien evade capture by federal agents who had all of the necessary immigration paperwork to detain or remove the alien from the United States?
The facts of their cases are eerily similar, forcing you to ask yourself, “What the heck was this judge thinking when she knew the feds had already prosecuted another judge for doing the exact same thing?”
The Senate passed a joint resolution to repeal a Department of Energy appliance standard on Wednesday by a margin of 52-46, further advancing the roll-back of Biden-era green energy regulations on household appliances.
Republican Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde is the lead sponsor of the joint resolution of disapproval H.J. Res. 42, which aims to nullify a rule issued by the DOE on October 9, 2024 under former President Joe Biden which added new efficiency and reporting regulations for appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and AC units.
The Trump administration announced wide-ranging sanctions Wednesday on a vast Iranian oil smuggling network that has generated "hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit funds for Iran's destabilizing activities," according to information provided by the State Department.
The sanctions target five United Arab Emirates-based companies, a Turkish petrochemical supplier, an Iranian cargo firm, and two ships known to ferry Tehran’s illicit petroleum products to foreign markets like that of China. The State Department views the sanctions, some of the furthest-reaching to date, as key to "driving Iran’s illicit oil and petrochemical exports—including exports to China—to zero," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
Packaging giant Pratt Industries announced Wednesday it was committing $5 billion to support President Trump’s push to bolster American manufacturing.
Atlanta-based Pratt announced the investment ahead of an afternoon White House event touting America’s potential to business leaders.
“To make America great again, we need to make in America again,” owner and executive chairman Anthony Pratt said in a statement.
"That’s why I’m proud to support the president’s call to reindustrialize America and again make the US the manufacturing powerhouse of the world.”
In its announcement, Pratt predicted the investment would lead to 5,000 new jobs across the US, including in key electoral states Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

An illegal immigrant was busted by immigration agents in Texas after trying to hide up a tree for around nine hours.
Guatemalan national Raul Ical, 29, fled into the backyard of a house in San Antonio on Tuesday morning after fleeing a traffic stop by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), KSAT reports.
He then scaled a tree, with video showing him high up it as ICE agents waited below.
Authorities tried going up into the tree at least twice to negotiate with Ical before he finally came down
Delta Air Lines announced its employees worldwide will be receiving a pay raise this year, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has increased wages.
Each employee will receive a 4% wage increase, which is in accordance with what CEO Ed Bastian announced in January at a leadership conference, according to a Delta news release.
The increase in wages comes just three months after the company paid out nearly five weeks of extra pay in February as part of its profit-sharing program. Delta said it shares profits with employees more than any other U.S. airline or company, totaling over $10 billion in payouts over the past 10 years.
Drugmaker Merck said Tuesday it is investing $1 billion in a new Delaware plant to expand domestic production as it prepares to deal with President Trump’s tariffs.
The new facility will produce biologic drugs and Keytruda, becoming Merck’s first in-house US site to make the blockbuster cancer treatment, the company said.
Merck said last week its biggest tariff exposure is through Keytruda and it has enough US inventory for this year. It estimated $200 million in additional costs for the levies implemented to date.

Disturbing video has captured the moment a massive brawl broke out among Carnival Cruise ship passengers in Texas — resulting in more than a dozen people being banned from the cruise liner for life.
The violence erupted as scores of passengers were disembarking from the Carnival Jubilee when it docked in Galveston on Saturday following a week-long Caribbean jaunt, according to footage shared on social media.
“It went down this morning,” said Trelle Ray, who shared the clip on Facebook.
The footage showed multiple passengers barging past barriers to trade blows.
At one point, a man was shoved to the floor before a handful of others started violently pummeling him.
Spain’s power network has remained silent on the actual cause of Europe’s worst power blackout in a generation, but has acknowledged that it is “very possible” that a problem with solar power systems may have contributed to the failure. A freak weather incident was blamed on Monday for a massive power cut that affected the entire Iberian Peninsula, depriving Spain and Portugal of electricity. However, this narrative was quickly questioned by energy industry insiders, and Spain’s national energy company now acknowledges that renewable power failure may have been a contributing factor.
From the stage at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., urged “mass protests … mobilization” and “disruption” so that Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace.”
“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now,” Pritzker said.
“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” Pritzker said. “They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”
Former vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued a self-described “listening tour” across the country at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday night, ruling out a 2028 presidential bid and revealing why former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate.
Walz said Harris chose him, in part, because, “I could code talk to White guys watching football, fixing their truck” and “put them at ease.” The Minnesota governor described himself as the “permission structure” for White men from rural America to vote for Democrats.
Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome, and head of the Roman Catholic Church died Easter Monday morning and his funeral was attended by thousands of mourners and a few faux Catholics like the Bidens and Nancy Pelosi.
Almost immediately after his death was announced, the media was swarmed with responses from Hollywood stars and other celebrities expressing their sympathy for the passing of this ‘beloved’ pontiff. Many other Catholics, conservative and fundamentalist, more likely silently thought, Ding, Dong, the pope is dead.” I, myself, do not believe that Pope Francis was an evil man,
In his final act as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Francis, in keeping with his deep commitment to the climate and well-cultivated image of personal humility, could have foregone a papal funeral.
To the thousands of world leaders and dignitaries flying to Rome as required by international protocol, Pope Francis could have extended an invitation to stay home. He could have ordered he not lie in state, preventing the Vatican pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of faithful to pay their respects. He could have even skipped the motorcade through the streets of Rome. All this, as a memorable gesture to maintain a smaller carbon footprint — one last gift
A bill that would decriminalize welfare fraud under $25,000 in California for simple administrative errors is being pushed by a Democratic lawmaker.
State Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas introduced Senate Bill 560, which would delete criminal penalties for welfare fraud below $25,000, and delete a provision for criminal penalties for any attempt at welfare fraud below $950, according to the legislation, which was introduced in February.
"California’s safety net should lift families up, not trap them in poverty," Smallwood-Cuevas told Fox News Digital. "Right now, a missed deadline or paperwork mistake can lead to felony charges that tear families apart — even when there’s no intent to deceive."
If you peruse the mainstream media’s headlines, you’d think Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was some sort of saint, a noble fighter against tyranny and oppression. (Snip) What these outlets fail to note is that Dugan violated the law by helping an illegal alien escape from her courthouse to avoid ICE. She was arrested by the FBI for that specific crime, not because they were trying to “silence” her.
“No one is above the law,” isn’t that what the Democrats say?
Well, reality has caught up with the rogue jurist as the Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended her Tuesday:
Shocking video shows the moment a tourist stupidly climbed into a crocodile’s enclosure to pose for selfies, only for the animal to turn around and attack him.
The brainless visitor, 29, thought that the 15-foot reptile was a statue in the zoo in Zambonga Sibugay in the Philippines.
In the video, the man is seen climbing over a chain-link fence and wading through water before pulling out his cellphone and grinning.
Suddenly, the fully-grown female croc, named Lalay, charges toward the man, sinking her fangs into his arm.
I realize this may blow Democrats' minds, but 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, most of the millions of Americans who cast their vote for him are still happy they did.
And Trump has not been twiddling his thumbs in these first months back in the Oval Office.
There’s plenty to like or dislike, from his large number of executive orders to his federal cost-cutting bonanza with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
So, it’s telling that a recent poll shows the vast majority of Trump supporters would vote for him again now, if given the opportunity for a do-over.
Q. What’s the 2028 version of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
A. J.B. Pritzker and Stacey Abrams. Their campaign slogan is Make America Morbidly Obese Again.
Pritzker has subtly, but very clearly called for political violence against Republicans. He deliberately timed this call for the first week of warm weather in the Chicago area. And there’s really no telling what will happen this weekend, or the rest of the summer, as a result.
We have a president who was targeted by active shooters — not once, but twice. He was actually shot once. There have been many other credible threats against Donald Trump’s life, including a plot
Newsom Hits The Gas
14 replies
It wasn’t long ago that a California governor made it clear that oil refineries were not welcome in his state. Then another California governor asked regulators to loosen the chains on refineries to ensure that they will be profitable and remain in the state that every day burns an enormous volume of gasoline.
Actually, it is the same governor, one who has turned his attention from playing to his hard-left, blue-state constituency to shifting toward the middle for a 2028 White House run.
It was just last summer when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a “plan to prevent Big Oil ‘profit spikes’” that would also “save Californians money at the pump.”
