Pete Hegseth’s positive Patriot missile partnership with Germany

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth deserves praise for his agreement with German defense minister Boris Pistorius to bolster the production of key munitions. The deal will see Germany ramp up production of Patriot interceptor munitions, which have predictably been heavily depleted by the war in Iran and transfers to Ukraine. Germany may also produce more […]

Want to save Social Security? Raise the retirement age to 75

From the end of World War II up to about the time President John F. Kennedy approved sending additional Special Forces troops to Vietnam, we created what came to be called the baby boom generation. Rebranding is in order here: I suggest calling the boomers the Meals on Wheels generation.  Great that on average everybody […]

The best medical AI won’t replace your doctor. It will finally give them time to be one

Let’s start with the obvious: Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept waiting to enter healthcare. It is already changing how diseases are detected, how medical information is analyzed, and how clinicians make decisions. The question before us, however, is no longer whether AI belongs in healthcare — It is whether we will deploy […]

Stop treating autistic kids like billable hours

In July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services got the country’s largest health plans, provider groups, and medical societies to sign a national behavioral health pledge saying they would deliver timely, evidence-based, whole-person care that treats mental and physical health together, rather than in separate silos. Critically, it also calls for measurement and […]

When Bernie Sanders and Ron DeSantis agree, the surveillance state is in serious trouble

Surveillance tech vendors had a pretty rough summer filled with negative media coverage, protests, and, as at least one line of T-shirts put it, attempts to “Cull the Flock.” Apparently, the proles don’t like it when police team up with Big Tech to keep notes on when they take their kids to school, visit a […]

Campaigns are burning $11.6 billion on ads. Speed is what actually wins

AdImpact projects that political advertising will reach $11.6 billion in the 2026 election cycle, surpassing both the $8.9 billion midterm election record set in 2022 and the $11.2 billion spent during the 2024 presidential cycle.

The cannon is loaded. It’s time to light the fuse on America’s building boom

Permitting reform has been one of Washington’s most discussed and least accomplished priorities for years. That trend is now shifting. Stakeholders who rarely agree on energy policy are finding common ground around a simple and urgent idea: America needs to build. Across industries, regions, and political perspectives, permitting reform has emerged as a shared priority […]

Haven’t we seen this before? The AI apocalypse has a century of reruns

Mid-September brought the convergence of three big issues for investors: oil prices over $100/barrel (keeping headline inflation sticky), surging bond yields (with the 10-year Treasury over 5%), and sudden apocalyptic warnings that unbridled AI could “kill us all by the end of the decade.” The threat of a resulting AI slowdown sent semiconductor stocks into […]

Trump just tried to beat the Democrats at their own game. It’s going to backfire

As campaigning for the 2026 midterm elections kicks up, President Donald Trump has pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate this November. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promises the checks will be delivered without adding to the national deficit, an economic policy Kabuki Theater, possibly paid for […]

Blaming Trump for the mustang slaughter? Point the finger at Obama and Biden, too

In a recent exposé titled “Under Trump, Protected Wild Horses Are Going to Slaughter,” the New York Times reported federally protected mustangs are increasingly bound for slaughterhouses. But the article’s focus on the current administration obscures a far more troubling reality. For decades, America’s wild mustangs have been routinely funneled toward slaughter, regardless of who […]

The Fed is sacrificing the American dream to fix a problem it can’t solve

For millions of hardworking people, the dream of owning a home, buying a new car, or building a small business just received another crushing blow. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee announced its first interest rate hike in more than three years. The Fed increased its benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point, pushing […]

AI just hacked its own safety test. The fix is a fire alarm, not a police patrol

AI agents have begun acting beyond the scope of their assigned evaluations. In July, an OpenAI agent gained internet access during a cybersecurity evaluation and penetrated Hugging Face in search of material that could help it pass the test. Days later, the U.K.’s AI Security Institute reported that agents undergoing similar tests had attempted to […]
