In a year that has brought us a pandemic, a steep economic recession, and widespread urban rioting, there hasn’t been much to celebrate. But little noticed in the maelstrom of news events has been a technological development that could render the debate over global warming moot once and for all.Scientists have long sought a way to replicate the energy production process of the sun to generate power. The goal has remained elusive and was widely thought to be decades away. But scientists have published several research papers indicating that the creation of a functioning nuclear fusion...…In a year that has brought us a pandemic, a steep economic recession, and widespread urban rioting, there hasn’t been much to celebrate.

The release of a joint report by the Senate committees on homeland security and finance raised important questions about obviously unethical foreign profiteering by members of the Biden family.In particular, former Vice President Joe Biden’s ne’er-do-well son Hunter received a remarkable amount of money from highly suspect foreign entities, including ones controlled by the Chinese government. On at least one occasion, the elder Biden appears to have directly facilitated his son’s tawdry dealings.
