A string of new, terrifying warnings from the artificial intelligence community has put Congress, the White House and the A.I. industry on notice: Slow the progress of the rapidly developing technology before a swarm of bots takes over the Internet and "kill all humans."
A member of the Biden administration admitted last year to planning a complete ban on natural gas-powered stoves through the Consumer Product Safety Commission. "There is sufficient information available for CPSC to issue a [Notice of Proposed Rulemaking] in FY 2023 proposing to ban gas stoves in homes," Democratic operative and Biden-appointed CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka wrote in October.
One need not pretend Jimmy Carter was a good president overall in order to appreciate several beneficial things he did within office and without. As Carter prepares to enter eternity, one such thing deserves more attention than it will get.
There’s a great debate to have about the Electoral College, whether it should still exist or whether we should amend the Constitution and determine our president through a national popular vote.
THE FETTERMAN DILEMMA. John Fetterman was sworn in as a senator from Pennsylvania on Jan. 3. On Feb. 8, after 36 days in office, Fetterman was admitted to George Washington University Hospital in Washington after experiencing symptoms he and those around him feared might indicate a stroke. Tests showed he did not have a stroke, and Fetterman was released after two nights in the hospital. On Feb. 15, after 43 days in office, Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment of depression. He is still there. Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that Fetterman "could remain hospitalized for more than a month."

He made all the usual condemnations that presidents and leaders have been making for years. He made the same mistakes and omissions, too.
Former Vice President Mike Pence’s claim to be immune from testifying to a grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump took another well-merited blow over the weekend.
Identity politics is sometimes justified as a regrettable but inevitable overcorrection. In a perfect world, the argument goes, there would be no need for racist university admissions policies. In a perfect world, no one would be hounded out of public life for accidentally using the wrong form of words. But given our past, some overshoot is said to be a small price to pay. Canceling people on social media, pulling books from publication, unfairly firing academics — these things are lesser evils than slavery or segregation.
After nearly a century of public service, Jimmy Carter has entered home hospice care, signaling that the end is near for America's longest living president. While Carter's lackluster tenure in the White House has been largely overshadowed by his post-presidential philanthropy, conservatives in particular ought to recognize that it was Carter who began to tackle the inflation crisis that Richard Nixon created.
It feels like eons ago, but there was a time when liberals would shriek if a new Walmart planned to come to their area. Now, ironically, they are shrieking because the Walmarts are leaving.
