Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is on a public-relations blitz to whitewash his own advocacy in the AI space amid growing backlash. Watching it unfold conjures up the famous Shaggy song, “It Wasn’t Me.” Much like the philandering character in the iconic hit, who was caught “red-handed creepin’ with the girl next door,” Amodei now expects […]
Bayer’s Monsanto unit stood before a Missouri judge on Monday and asked him to approve a $7.25 billion settlement of roughly 65,000 lawsuits claiming its Roundup weed killer causes cancer. Judge Timothy Boyer heard arguments from both sides in St. Louis and didn’t rule from the bench. But the settlement he’s weighing already looks different […]
The word “genocide” is thrown around by Israel-haters to conjure up Nazi imagery for credulous Western leftists. That’s the beginning and end of it. It’s a hoax. And whenever you point out the low civilian-to-combat ratio, or note there was never any famine, or mention that the population of Gaza has possibly grown since the […]
Washington is reorganizing for cyber conflict in real time. In June, a proposal to create a separate U.S. Cyber Force was defeated 14-13 in the Senate Armed Services Committee. Now the National Security Agency is preparing what news reports describe as one of its most significant internal reorganizations in a decade, with five mission centers […]

Earlier this month, Macklemore walked onto the stage at MetLife Stadium in a keffiyeh, told 80,000 people to say “Free Palestine,” accused Israel of apartheid and genocide, and performed “Hind’s Hall” while images from Gaza played on the screens behind him. Within roughly a week he was off Ed Sheeran’s tour. Robert Kraft confirmed that […]
For the better part of a decade, Washington has tried to force 21st-century financial technology into a tax code built for another era. The results are predictable: confusion, unnecessary compliance costs, arbitrary tax treatment, and a bureaucracy that makes ordinary people pay for Washington’s failure to keep pace. Today, buying a cup of coffee with […]

The Justice Department’s new rule reviving a process for restoring certain rights to people with nonviolent felony convictions rightly recognizes that, instead of lifetime scarlet letters, we must narrowly tailor the collateral consequences of a conviction. Starting Monday, Americans with a nonviolent federal conviction can avail themselves of this process. Although the Second Amendment is […]

SHIPPINGPORT, Pa. — The last time that I stood on these grounds along the Ohio River in Beaver County was 1976, 19 years after the first commercial nuclear power plant in the United States opened here. My Perry High School physics teacher, David Burrows, had loaded a handful of us into a van for a […]
It seems that some of the scientific establishment are more concerned with political science than actual science. Just look at their response to the Trump administration’s recent report, “Science: A New Golden Age.” If you listened to only the loudest critics, you’d think the Trump administration is trying to send us back to the Stone […]
