Maxine Waters and former President Barack Obama as those who were really at fault. “I’ve been saying now for days something horrible will happen because of the rhetoric. Really Maxine?” said the Fox News host. Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Jared Kushner's family company is suing a New Jersey city, alleging it delayed construction of a major twin-tower project because of "political animus" toward President Donald Trump. The federal lawsuit filed Wednesday by the Kushner Cos. claims Jersey City "put politics over principle" when it violated a pledge to help secure a local tax break for the family's planned One Journal Square, among other moves that delayed construction. Democratic Mayor Steven Fulop publicly opposed granting... Читать дальше...

The youth performers in “School of Rock” deserve better. They act, sing, dance and play their own instruments — quadruple threats, in musical theater parlance — with talent and charisma to burn. Yet the national tour that opened Wednesday, June 27, at SHN’s Orpheum Theatre isn’t even about them. They’re props for the retribution of man-child Dewey (Rob Colletti), a failed rocker who becomes their substitute teacher in order to pay rent and then to fulfill his own petty musical ambitions.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has taken the expected step of vetoing a bill that did not entirely eliminate a charge customers of a private utility are paying for two nuclear plants that were never finished.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state authorities say the producer of such cable TV reality series as "Swamp People" and "Miami Ink" will pay $282,000 to employees who weren't paid for overtime they worked. Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced Thursday that Truly Original, created by the merger of Original Media and True Entertainment, agreed in a settlement to pay scores of workers who didn't receive OT payments even though many worked 50 to 80 hours per week.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Anthony Kennedy's successor will have a chance over a likely decades-long career to tackle a host of big issues in the law and have a role in shaping the answers to them. Most court-watchers and interest groups are focused on abortion and whether a more conservative justice may mean more restrictions on abortions get upheld or even whether the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion decision affirming a woman's right to abortion might someday be overturned. But Kennedy's replacement will quickly confront a host of issues... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Minnesota regulators on Thursday approved Enbridge Energy's proposal to replace its aging Line 3 oil pipeline across the northern part of the state, even though a major, controversial question remains unresolved: the line's route.

In open discussion before the vote, several cited the deteriorating condition of the existing line, which was built in the 1960s, as a major factor. Читать дальше...

White supremacist groups are increasingly using propaganda like flyers and posters to spread bigoted messages on college campuses, a new report by the Anti-Defamation League found. In the past academic year, 292 such incidents were reported — a 77 percent increase from the previous year, according to the report, which was released Thursday.
