What A Day - World Central Kitchen Pauses Work in Gaza After Fatal Israeli Strike

World Central Kitchen, an international aid group, said on Tuesday it paused its relief operation in Gaza after an Israeli airstrike killed seven of its workers on the ground there. The strikes happened late Monday night as the aid workers were leaving a warehouse in the central Gaza Strip in vehicles clearly marked with World Central Kitchen’s logo. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that the government launched a thorough inquiry into what happened, but he also added, “This happens in war.”

Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin held primary elections Tuesday night. Democratic organizers in Wisconsin surpassed their goal of getting 20,000 voters to cast “uninstructed” ballots in order to send President Biden the message that they disapprove of his handling of the war in Gaza. Meanwhile, thousands of Republicans cast ballots for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, even though she dropped out of the GOP race last month.

And in headlines: A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Taiwan, backers of an abortions rights amendment to Arizona’s constitution say they’ve collected more than enough signatures to get it onto the state’s November ballot, and the moon is set to get its own time zone.

The Daily Signal - Climate Expert Shares Dirty Truth About Wind and Solar Energy

Wind, solar, and electric vehicles aren't the clean energy accomplishments that many claim, climatologist David Legates says.

“The lithium, the atrium, all of the rare earth minerals that are necessary for the batteries, that are necessary for the solar panels, that are necessary for the wind turbines … are called rare earths,” Legates explains on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”

These rare earth minerals are acquired through strip mining, he says, a process that involves putting large chunks of earth into a solution. Once the minerals are extracted, what is left is a “toxic sludge lake."

The process of strip mining changes the environment, adds Legates, a visiting fellow who serves on the Science Advisory Committee for the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment at The Heritage Foundation. Legates, also a professor emeritus at the University of Delaware, is the author of a Heritage paper on rising sea levels.

Legates, who joins this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," explains how wind turbines and solar panels are created and discusses his new book “Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism,” co-authored with E. Calvin Beisner. He also identifies what the cleanest form of energy really is.

Vote for TBOY to win the Webby Awards: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2024/podcasts/shows/business

Gen Z’s newest passion isn’t TikTok, it’s plumbing and other skilled trade jobs — Gen Z is leading a blue collar job surge, because AI can’t fix a clogged toilet.

Google just admitting that Chrome’s “Incognito Mode” for searching the web privately actually isn’t private at all — And we know it all thanks to a lawsuit, the truth serum of business.

And Tesla just suffered its worst quarter yet, with car sales falling 9% — But we’ve got the solution for Tesla’s “Elon Problem”.
