DAVID MARCUS: Trump should bring back Anno Domini and make ‘Common Era’ a woke footnote

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Even a casual reader of history will have noticed over the past many years that the antiseptic term Common Era (CE) has slowly but surely replaced the elegant Anno Domini (AD) as the marker of the time period that began 2,025 years ago in most historical works. Though at first glance this may appear to be a minor change, it most definitely is not, and given the...

Energy chief envisions US nuclear renaissance: restoring ‘pit’ production, localizing nuke power

WASHINGTON – In a wide-ranging interview last week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright discussed how the U.S. can bring nuclear power to the fore for both energy and defense purposes, starting with rebooting otherwise dormant ‘pit’ production. Under the first Trump administration, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) sought to meet the Pentagon’s goal of manufacturing 80 such pits – spherical hulls of plutonium sized from a grapefruit to a bowling ball – according to the...
