NETANYAHU: Could certainly be the result because the Iran regime is very weak.

The promise of mRNA technology seemed boundless after the success of the coronavirus vaccines, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has singled it out for scrutiny, clouding its prospects.

China's government is past caring whether the US imposes tariffs or not. It assumes the US is almost exclusively an adversary at this point, and welcomes the chance to decouple, even if it's painful. More importantly, it's positively gleeful that every other country is a target too.

NEW STUDY found that “the growing number of SUVs reduced the vehicle capacity of freeway lanes in Minnesota’s Twin Cities by 9.5% between 1995-2019. Their findings suggest yet another way in which ‘car bloat’ exacerbates problems that affect everyone, regardless of how they travel.”
How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse
As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”
