A new study led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found a large amount of lithium reserves in southwestern Arkansas that could help meet rising demand for lithium in electric vehicle car batteries. USGS worked with the Arkansas Department of Energy and the Environment's Office of the State Geologist to examine a geological unit known as the Smackover Formation to determine the amount of lithium in brines that are co-produced during oil and gas exploration.
The study estimated that there are between 5 million and 19 million tons of lithium reserves present in the formation.

Barbara Clark is the perfect example of a voter, whether Black, white, Hispanic or from any other ethnic group, who defies stereotypes. This defiance often leads to voters such as her being overlooked as people who could change not just the presidential election but also the majority in the Senate.
Clark is a Black female who has been a registered Democrat for almost all of her adult life and voted for former President Barack Obama twice.
"Dear, I didn't just vote for him," she said. "I was a community organizer for Barack Obama for the group ACORN."

In her stump speeches around the country since accepting her party’s nomination, Kamala Harris has invoked the three tenets of the far left’s gun control platform again and again – bans, red flag laws, and “universal” background checks. But since her September 10th debate with Donald Trump, Harris has struck a different note, emphasizing again and again that she owns a gun. But Americans should not be taken in by Kamala’s willingness to take on any persona – including “pistol-packing Momala” – to mislead voters into thinking she’s a moderate in a cheap ploy to win in November.

Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade met with Biden administration staff on at least two occasions during District Attorney Fani Willis' probe into former President Donald Trump, a newly released transcript suggests. Wade was interviewed by House Judiciary Committee staff last week as part of Chairman Jim Jordan's probe into the prosecutions of the former president.
A grand jury indicted Trump and allies last year on charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
Wade did not disclose the details of his supposed meetings with White House representatives

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have a Pennsylvania problem.
Harris, her team, and national Democrats finally know it. But does their knowledge come too late? And can they fix it?
With his disastrous debate performance in June, Joe Biden showed the nation that he was old, floundering, and not up to the job. Polls confirmed it. National Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, along with Team Harris, sprang into action.
Something had to be done. The “Democratic Politburo” decided – on behalf of 75 million Democratic voters – what the party’s best option was. Out with “Uncle Joe,” and in with the new and improved product: Kamala Harris.

I wouldn’t be much of a political pundit if I weren’t willing to share my prediction for what will happen in 15 days when one of the most important presidential elections in history is decided.
So here goes: Donald Trump will win, and he will win convincingly. But that doesn’t mean the progressive left won’t have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist.

Dear fellow women,
You are being played.
And falling for this particular confidence scheme won’t just cost you, it’ll cost all of us.
I’m an affluent 30-something divorced, white, childless, American woman with multiple postgraduate degrees, and a busy career. I’ve lived abroad in several metropolitan cities and I own my home. According to every single statistic, I should be a J.D. Vance-loathing single cat lady.
I should also really hate Donald Trump. But I don’t.
Lest we forget, the presidency is not a popularity contest. There seems to be some confusion on that front. You aren’t casting a ballot for Prom Queen, you’re voting

When Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) rebuked Martha Raddatz on air a few days ago, he was not just pointing out the bias of the liberal media. The GOP vice presidential candidate was also calling out a far more sinister threat to our country.
In a conversation about the violent criminals of Tren del Aragua entering our country illegally, ABC host Raddatz sought to minimize reports that the feared Venezuelan gang had taken over housing units in Aurora, Colo. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” she claimed — as though that were somehow acceptable.But Vance was having none of it. “Martha, do you hear yourself?”

Denial is not only a river in Egypt. It is also a seductive expedient for the Democratic Party in the waning days of the 2024 presidential election. You see it everywhere in the official activities of the Democratic campaign. WinBlue donations are soaring! The polls still have Harris ahead! Democracy is on the line!
Escaping from the bluster of denial are worrisome little puffs of pandering, always a sure sign that the denial is at best half-believed by the denier.
This is not surprising. Denial is the reliable product of desperation: the realisation, however imperfectly acknowledged, that the jig is up.

The season has come again (actually, we’re a few weeks behind schedule) for the restorative quadrennial reading of Michael Anton’s “The Flight 93 Election,” first published at the website of the Claremont Review of Books in September 2016. Its vivifying spirit leaps out immediately in the famous opening lines:
2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees.
Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain.

On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire." More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history."
I'm feeling pretty good these days about that prognosis.

Kamala Harris is continuing to underperform across the polling spectrum.
Pick any average from the multitude of polling views — two-way, multicandidate, battleground states, and even individual battleground states — and Harris is running consistently below where Joe Biden was in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. So it’s no surprise Democrats are growing nervous.
There’s a reason the Harris campaign is suddenly making her available for softball media opportunities, such as her recent appearances on CBS’s “60 Minutes” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as well as ABC’s “The View,” and even for riskier ones like her Wednesday appearance on Fox News.
