President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to hear a case involving a Georgetown University scholar who was targeted for deportation last year after a government artificial intelligence tool flagged his social media posts as too pro-Palestinian.
The father of Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer, who helped overtake terrorist hijackers, narrated a dramatic new campaign ad slamming Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over his association with Hasan Piker, who said America "deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The Federal Aviation Administration's protocols for screening certain cybersecurity risks are likely insufficient to properly respond to and prevent potential threats, according to a new report.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said deciding to support the Laken Riley Act came down to basic common sense. The Republican House, which has the slimmest of majorities, passed the legislation as its first bill of the new Congress. The Laken Riley Act is an immigration policy measure named for the 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student […]
There were signs President Joe Biden wasn’t calling the shots. After all, he campaigned on being a centrist, a pragmatic alternative to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — just “lunchbox Joe” from Scranton who had worked in the coal mine and driven an 18-wheeler. And yet, from the outset and throughout his term, his administration lurched further […]
It is a fair bet to guess that many people taking drugs such as Ozempic are just tired of being fat. The hitch with Ozempic, however, is that is precisely its common purpose. Specifically, the drug treats blood sugar in Type 2 diabetics. However, take a look at any public discussion around it, and the […]
Just a few years ago, I was working as a software engineer at Facebook on its now-infamous “fact-checking” team. At the time and in the years since, I have pointed out the obvious: While the idea of fact-checking is a good one, since more information is always better than less information, social media platforms handing […]
Donald Trump is not yet the sitting president of the United States, but people across the planet would hardly realize that based solely on international news. Since winning a second term in the White House, Trump has hosted world leaders from Italy to Argentina, as well as billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, as global […]
Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to boot liberal partisan fact-checkers from his platforms is a welcome one, and it should be the end of any notion that the “fact-checkers” are anything but politically motivated censors. Zuckerberg announced on Facebook that Meta would be shifting to a fact-checking system like X’s community notes, which allows users […]
From the Pacific Palisades to Pasadena, the beachside Eden on Earth of Los Angeles County is burning to the ground. In less than one day, more than 80,000 Californians have been evacuated, multiple injured, and at least two dead. With more than 4,000 acres of some of the nation’s most valuable property up in flames, […]
On March 4, 1801, John Adams rose before dawn. It was his last day as president, and he was leaving Washington in defeat. Adams had no intention of staying for the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson, his political rival whom he’d narrowly defeated four years earlier. He missed his wife, Abigail, who had already departed for […]
President-elect Donald Trump has made no secret of his ambition to negotiate big diplomatic agreements. He wants to forge peace between Ukraine and Russia, and he wants to finalize a historic peace agreement both between Saudi Arabia and Israel and between Israel and the Palestinians. The last seems an unlikely mix, to put it mildly. Trump even seems to want […]
President Joe Biden just dealt a devastating blow to U.S. consumers and our domestic oil and gas industry. Through executive action this week, he permanently banned new oil and gas leasing across 625 million acres in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Far from ensuring stability, this decision pushes the United States toward energy insecurity and […]
THE LOW POINT OF JIMMY CARTER’S AWFUL PRESIDENCY. Forty-five years ago, on July 15, 1979, President Jimmy Carter gave what came to be known as his “malaise” speech. More than halfway through his term as president, things were going terribly. Inflation was already high, 6.3%, when Carter took office. By the time of the malaise speech, […]
After the fall of Bashar Assad‘s regime in Syria, the incoming Trump administration faces a complex set of challenges. Despite President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to reduce U.S. involvement overseas, completely disengaging from Syria may not be a viable option. The interim government led by Hayat Tahrir al Sham has shown little intention of quickly transitioning […]
President-elect Donald Trump chose Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense because he’s a combat veteran and change agent who isn’t afraid to take on the vital job of rebuilding the U.S. military from woke to lethal. He is the right person for the job, and I fully support him as our next secretary […]
Turf-fighting is a way of life at the State Department, as in much of the federal government. The department’s complex and varied responsibilities have, over time, led to an organizational chart that has defied multiple attempts at rationalization. Its internal culture has simultaneously grown more entrenched. The Foreign Service is perhaps the government’s strongest civilian […]
