In Rhode Island’s primary today, new law will allow 17-year-olds to vote for President

By Paul Edward Parker | Providence Journal Although both major parties' presidential nominations are already sewn up, Tuesday's Rhode Island Presidential Preference Primary will be exciting for 1,894 voters in particular: 17-year-olds who will be able to vote for the first time ever under a new law passed last year. The law gives 17-year-olds the right to vote in a primary election if they will be 18 on the day of November's general election. And 1,894 such 17-year-olds took advantage of the new law and registered to vote by the March 3 deadline. "I actually think it's cool," said Atticus Thompson, of East Greenwich. "It gets more voters out, also." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL

Sloan: Biden’s betrayal of Israel in war with Hamas

By Kelly Sloan | Special Contributor, The Rocky Mountain Voice Back in October, in the stunned aftermath of the worst collective massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Presideent Joe Biden told the Israelis and the world that the U.S. would stand by them. He pledged American support, including armaments. It was a good moment, one civilized nation pledging its solidarity with another in the face of barbarity. Five months later, Biden informed the Israelis that they were essentially alone. On March 25, the UN Security Council voted on yet another morally bankrupt resolution calling for a unilateral and unconditional cease fire in the war in Gaza, and this time the United States abstained. In all previous iterations of this and other UN resolutions like it, which stop just short of...

Boeing’s troubles are spilling over to its airline customers, could impact air travel

By Lori Aratani | The Washington Post After three years of scrambling to hire and train pilots, United Airlines is encouraging its aviators to take unpaid time off next month, the latest example of how woes at Boeing — including delays in aircraft delivery — are rippling through the aviation industry. Production limits imposed on Boeing after a piece of the wall blew off an Alaska Airlines plane midflight in January are in part responsible for the delays, which are forcing carriers to halt hiring and rethink schedules even as demand for air travel remains robust. Southwest Airlines, which operates an all-Boeing fleet, had anticipated receiving 58 737 Max 8 aircraft, but will instead receive 46. Boeing’s continued challenges, Southwest said in a regulatory filing, may require it to...

House lawmakers want to put President Donald Trump’s name on major airport

By Spencer Brown  | Townhall Visitors to Washington, D.C., could be landing at Donald J. Trump International Airport if a group of House Republicans gets their way.  Led by House Majority Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), a bill in the lower chamber seeks to put the 45th president's name on Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) outside the nation's capital.  The brief bill text — if it makes it through the rest of the legislative machinations of D.C. — would make the name change official and require "[a]ny reference in any law, regulation, map, document, paper, or other record of the United States" to IAD "considered a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport." READ THE FULL STORY AT TOWNHALL

Shares of Tesla, the leading EV maker, tumble after ‘unmitigated disaster’ in Q1

By Martin Baccardax | The Street Tesla  (TSLA)  shares fell sharply Tuesday, extending their 2024 slump to around $270 billion, after the world's leading EV maker posted a much weaker-than-expected tally of first-quarter deliveries. Tesla delivered 386,810 new cars over the three months ended in March, the company said in a statement, down 8.5% from the year-earlier period and 20% south of the record 484,507 tally reached over the three months ended in December. Analysts' forecasts for deliveries ranged from 425,000 to around 470,000, with LSEG data pegging the March-quarter target at around 455,000 units. Tesla delivered 369,783 units of its Model 3 sedan and Model Y midsize SUV, as well as 17,027 units of its higher-priced Model S sedan and Model X full-si...

Alex Murdaugh slapped with another 40 years in prison for ripping off clients, his law firm

By Selim Algar | New York Post Convicted double murderer Alex Murdaugh was slammed with a 40-year prison term Monday morning for a slew of financial crimes he pleaded guilty to last year. The disgraced former attorney has already been sentenced to two life terms for the shocking murders of his wife and 22-year-old son in one of the most closely watched criminal cases in recent history. The federal term handed down Monday is in addition to another 27-year sentence Murdaugh received in state court for similar financial offenses. “There’s not enough time and I don’t possess a sufficient vocabulary to adequately portray to you in words the magnitude of how I feel about the things I did,” Murdaugh said at Monday’s proceeding.

Rep. Buddy Carter: Key bridge collapse ‘is why we should be fiscally responsible’

ByJenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) called for more fiscal responsibility amid the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. Carter appeared on Sunday Morning Futures after crews removed the first piece of the collapsed bridge from the Patapsco River on Saturday in an effort to reopen Baltimore’s port. It remains to be seen how much it will cost to rebuild the bridge. “Yes, it needs to be fixed immediately. There’s no question about that. It’s going to be a big impact on our economy,” Carter said. “However, when we get into this, we need to look at a number of different things. First of all, what’s the responsibility of the shipping company? What’s the responsibility of the insurance company? And what about funds ...
