This is getting uncomfortable. Dr. Jill, it’s time to limit Joe Biden’s public appearances. His cognitive decline is accepted. There are questions about how diminished he was, and when. We need to know who knew of his decline and who was running the White House. None of these questions are for Joe Biden. Public appearances don’t influence those discussions and only make him appear pathetic.
Reuters: Trump to sign orders to boost nuclear power
Reuters: Bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduce bill to boost nuclear power
I am thrilled by both of these developments. Nuclear power is necessary for America to prosper, but it hasn’t gotten much attention. If Trump and lawmakers from both parties encourage nuclear power, everyone will be better off.

If America is going to get back to manufacturing, companies will need to get involved to make sure that there are trained people to hire. There will need to be more of this.
PHILADELPHIA—Elijah Rios won’t graduate from high school until next year, but he already has a job offer—one that pays $68,000 a year.
Rios, 17 years old, is a junior taking welding classes at Father Judge, a Catholic high school in Philadelphia that works closely with companies looking for workers in the skilled trades.
