American Manufacturing Surges to Highest Level in More Than Four Years

By Kevin Killough | Just the News Growth was seen in fifteen manufacturing industries, including electrical equipment, appliances and components, primary metals, transportation equipment, machinery as well as computer and electronic products. Activity in the technology sector was driven by the artificial intelligence buildout. U.S. manufacturing activity increased to its highest level in more than four years in July driven by strong order growth, according to data from the ​Institute for Supply Management.  The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index increased to 55.6 last month from 53.3 in June, which was the highest since May 2022. Economists polled by Reuters had projected PMI would grow to 54.  READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT JUST THE NEWS

New Analysis Ties Net Zero Policies To Higher Household Energy Costs

By Kevin Killough | Just the News “Blue States, High Rates” study analyzes climate and net-zero policies in each state and shows that the common factor when it comes to high electricity rates is whether a state has these policies in place. And those are primarily blue states. Polls consistently show that affordability is a top concern for voters, and that includes the cost of their utility bills. An Ipsos poll released in May showed that 79% of respondents would support a political candidate who promises to lower their utility bill. The poll also found that 58% of American bill payers don’t understand what drives their utility costs. Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research have been attempting to analyze the relationsh...

Who Funds the Experts? Pharma Ties Emerge in Vaccine Schedule Debate

By Ashe Short | Just the News The groups that most Americans treat as neutral medical authorities on what to put in their kids' bloodstreams — the AMA and the AAP — both draw millions in revenue from the companies that manufacture the vaccines they are promoting. Shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the number of vaccines required for young children, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release claiming Trump’s order puts children’s health at risk. “Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases,” AMA President Willie Underwood, III, said in the statement. “Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by ri...

Trump Shifts Iran Strategy Toward Economic Pressure To End War

By Joseph Weber | Just the News The U.S. began attacking Iran in late February after failed attempts to get the rogue Middle East nation to wind down its nuclear-enrichment program. President Trump over the weekend signaled the U.S. will now rely more on economic pressures than military strikes on Iran to force an end to their war. "We are low-keying it," Trump told the news outlet Axios. "We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money."

Declassified Documents Shed New Light on 2020 Election Security Concerns

By Steven Richards | Just the News Declassified documents, other evidence, reveal that despite official assurances of a secure 2020 election, government agencies possessed intelligence regarding significant security vulnerabilities, foreign data breaches, and potential manipulation risks. After several batches of documents were recently declassified and released by the White House, the American people now have more evidence than ever that while officials claimed 2020 was a historically secure election, the government had plenty of evidence of security vulnerabilities, hacks and foreign interference.  Shortly after the election, senior government officials insisted that it was the “most secure” in American history, deflecting concerns about security, including abou...

Biden Pardon and Fauci Fifth Amendment Fight Headed for the Courts

By Just the News Contributor | Just the News Whether Fauci was legally entitled to invoke Fifth Amendment may ultimately depend on how courts balance broad immunity conferred in Biden pardon against remaining risk of post-pardon criminal exposure. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who helped lead the country's COVID pandemic response, invoking the constitutional right against self-incrimination last week during a contentious Senate hearing on the response and the virus's origins has sparked a fierce legal – and political – debate whose origins date back to a late-1800s Supreme Court decision and that will likely be resolved in court.  Sen. Rand Paul, the Senate committee chairman, argues the constitutional privilege no longer applies because the sweeping, preemptive pardon for...

Tech Leaders Say Misinformation Is Driving Resistance to Data Centers

By Christina Park | Just the News Facing NIMBY: Industry experts and lawmakers are pushing back against "disinformation" about data centers, arguing that they are vital for American jobs and technological leadership. State lawmakers and big tech are pushing back against misinformation surrounding data centers. Once welcomed for their local economic benefits, they say these facilities now face resistance due to fear and disinformation over water and electricity consumption, complicated by a global AI race against China. “What I want to do, and what President Trump wants to do is make sure we dominate the next revolution in technology, which is of course, AI and data centers,” economist Stephen Moore told the Just the News, No Noise show at the American ...

Trump Signals Stronger Response After Iranian Attacks on US Bases

By Amanda Head | Just the News Trump said "They're going to get a beating." The door would open thanks to Trump's fury over the pair of recent attacks on U.S. airbases and outposts in the region. The avenues of freedom for the Iranian people may come from a variety of directions. Following Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) missile attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Jordan, President Donald Trump is now signaling readiness for full-scale military action that could shatter the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges and accelerate an end to the conflict, opening the door for a full-on revolution for the Persian nation.  "We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them [...] We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Trump s...

Education Department Investigates Colorado Teacher Over Same Sex Classroom Kissing Assignment

By Kevin Killough | Just the News The department is also investigating a district in Washington state that displayed vials of testosterone as part of an LGBTQ Pride Month exhibit. The U.S. Department of Education said it's investigating allegations that a Colorado high school teacher required students of the same sex to kiss in front of the classroom as part of a class assignment.  The investigation is trying to determine if parents were notified about this student evaluation and whether parents or students who wanted to opt out of the exercise were allowed to, as required by federal law.  “Shocking reports from across the country indicate that our kids are being subjected to inappropriate material, surveys, and events in schools, and parents’ fundam...

House Panel Subpoenas China-Linked Nonprofits Over Foreign Influence Questions

By Ashe Short | Just the News The latest subpoenas raise the question of whether U.S. tax law — which grants tax exemptions and shields charitable donor identities — can be used to route foreign money into domestic political activity. At the heart of it, questions abound whether the far-left outfits have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith’s office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People’s Forum, all thr...
