A damning new report has accused Big Oil of privately acknowledging its efforts to downplay the dangers of burning fossil fuels - while publicly stating they were opposed to the practice. The report, headed up by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee in the United States, says oil giants including ExxonMobil and Chevron - as well as several industry trade groups - were behind a campaign aimed at defending the industry's interests. They claim this has all been done at the expense of the planet. "Big Oil has run campaigns to confuse and mislead the public while working unceasingly to lo...

Charleston (United States) (AFP) - US President Joe Biden set his sights Sunday on the Nevada primary, a day after his overwhelming victory in South Carolina brought a tense rematch with Donald Trump another step closer. The 81-year-old Democrat will speak at two campaign events in the gambling city of Las Vegas, where he is odds-on favorite in Tuesday’s vote to continue his march towards the party's nomination. Nevada is a battleground state which has largely voted for the White House winner in recent decades and which backed Biden in 2020 by a narrow margin -- less than 35,000 votes separate...

Charleston (United States) (AFP) - US President Joe Biden cruised to victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary Saturday, vowing afterwards that he would make Republican rival Donald Trump a loser for a second time in November's election.

Kicking off his march to his party's nomination, Biden secured a massive 96.4 percent of the votes in the first Democratic primary of the 2024...

A framed photo on the wall pictures the moment a smiling Biden visited the shop before his turnaround Democratic primary win in 2020. "We think that he's done a wonderful job," says co-owner Christopher Toliver, 53, a viewpoint echoed by customers arriving for early morning appointments at this veritable institution for the city's Black community. Not everyone agrees. A number of polls have ...

Charleston (United States) (AFP) - One is a best-selling self-help writer, the other a US congressman -- and both are applying their rhetorical talents to pitch themselves to Democrats as better bets than President Joe Biden to beat Donald Trump in November. Short of a major upset, Americans are unlikely ever to find out. Biden is expected to cruise past Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips as he kicks off his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in South Carolina's primary on Saturday. Harnessing love - Williamson tried her luck once before, in the 2020 presidential race, but...

San Diego (AFP) - Hundreds of migrants congregate by the huge wall marking the US-Mexico border in southern California, a tiny glimpse of the crisis unfolding in American cities as new arrivals strain resources to breaking point. The dysfunction in the border city of San Diego is repeated on a larger scale in hubs like New York and Chicago -- testing the patience of local Democratic leaders who say their own man in the White House is failing on a very pressing problem. "The reality is that we don't have sufficient funds," Nora Vargas, a Democrat on San Diego County's Board of Supervisors, told...

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) reiterated her previously stated opinion that the Democrats are “pedophiles” in an interview with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes. “I would definitely say so,” said Greene in response to one question where Stahl asked her if the congresswoman still agreed with her previous statements on the matter. “They support grooming children.” “They’re not pedophiles, why would you say that?” exclaimed Stahl. “Democrats support—even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries,” Greene responded. “Sexualizing childr...
