A far-left climate activist is gaining traction in the Democratic primary for a Michigan district that will be on the front line of this year's battle for control of the U.S. House.
States that work with President Trump to clean up their voter rolls can get more taxpayer money to help do it, but those that refuse could face fines and penalties and, if they ignore evidence of noncitizens on their lists, the administration is threatening "prison time" for their leaders.
The National Park Service is assessing the potential impacts of building a Triumphal Arch in the District of Columbia and is inviting public feedback on the proposal.
Once the use of a surveillance technology is permitted for emergency purposes only, it is only a matter of time before it is used for purposes that fall well outside any rational definition of an emergency. Take automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, for instance. All across the country, these surveillance cameras capture time-stamped data […]
America is in a global race for technological leadership. China understands this. Beijing is investing aggressively to dominate artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, advanced communications, and next-generation digital infrastructure. It shows no sign of slowing down. The question for the United States is simple: Will we build the networks of the future or keep spending billions […]
There is no shortage of noise being generated around data centers by project critics spouting misinformation. In a recent class-action lawsuit filed in federal court against data center builder and operator DataOne USA, a handful of New Jersey residents claim that a nearby facility emits “a very loud industrial noise;” they say it “sounds like […]
The right to vote and the right to petition our government are among the most basic freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. These are foundational and central to the promise that ordinary citizens, not elites or institutions, ultimately hold power in America. Rights of this importance should be protected, respected, and made easier to exercise, not […]
There’s a political fight going on inside the White House over who should be the next labor secretary. The outcome should matter a lot to conservatives, business leaders, and people who care about the competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Democrats created the Labor Department decades ago to increase the power of big labor union bosses […]
The panic over data centers is escalating. If anti-growth activists and NIMBYs succeed in blocking the infrastructure behind artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital commerce, America won’t stop needing those services. It will simply build less of that infrastructure here and hand more of the strategic advantage to China. That is the real trade-off. WE’VE […]
On Sunday, Kim Yo Jong — the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — sharply dismissed the U.S. push for denuclearization as an “anachronistic dream.” She asserted that Washington’s efforts to “backbite” North Korea’s status hold zero legally binding force. Declaring that Pyongyang will steadily expand its nuclear arsenal in the face […]
This week, United Nations climate negotiators will gather in Bonn, Germany, to tell the rest of the world how to save the planet. The irony is staggering. Germany is the poster child of failed green paternalism. It shut down its nuclear plants, bet everything on renewables, and ended up burning more coal and buying gas […]
Scandal is once again roiling the United Kingdom’s famed Oxford University. A private WhatsApp chat of 100 incoming philosophy, politics, and economics freshmen leaked last week. Its contents are a whopper. Oxford Union president Arwa Elrayess, the elected head of the university’s premier debating society, was caught defending the Oct. 7, 2023, atrocities committed by Hamas. […]
Nvidia’s decision to invest $6.5 billion in photonics may mark one of the most consequential inflection points in the evolution of artificial intelligence. By using light rather than copper wires to move data, photonics could dramatically reduce the energy, cooling, and networking constraints that limit large-scale AI systems. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has suggested this […]
The value of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin is in free fall. Last October, Bitcoin was trading around $126,000. After trading as low as $59,000 last week, it is now meandering around the $60,000 to $61,000 level. This punishing drawdown has destroyed over $200 billion in market capitalization. What makes the sharp decline in Bitcoin more painful is […]
