The United States faces a critical technological innovation test. Artificial intelligence requires massive amounts of computing power to function.

America must continue our decadeslong history of building mainframes and data centers to process information in order to maintain our global leadership. However, a growing political movement is actively trying […]
The world has tried many things to try and stop Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, including arming the Ukrainians and sanctioning the Russians. But has anyone thought of simply asking Russia to stop?

The Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, personal consumption expenditures price inflation, skyrocketed in January, defying President Joe Biden's lie that "inflation is coming down." Both headline and core PCE prices rose by 0.6% last month, three times the amount headline PCE rose in December and twice that of core PCE. While core PCE rose 4.7% over the past 12 months — still more than twice the 2% inflation benchmark the Fed considers acceptable — January's core PCE inflation was 7.1% on an annualized basis, a significant acceleration for an economy that's supposed to be cooling down.

The wars in Ukraine and Tigray were similar. Both shocked by their brutality. Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed twisted history to delegitimize an adversary.

While Tigray’s fight was over identity rather than independence, Abiy approached his adversaries the same way due to the historical origins of Ethiopia and Ethiopian Orthodoxy in Axum in modern-day Tigray.
