Have a cursory glance at the artificial intelligence news cycle under the new administration, and you might think it is only about data centers, trillions of dollars in investments, bellicose statements regarding geopolitical rivalries, and rescinding woke AI policies. Yet, underneath the surface, there are also important matters of AI governance being settled this month. AI […]
Benji Backer, executive chairman and founder of the American Conservation Coalition, recently took to X in hysterics over the Senate reconciliation bill’s inclusion of the HOUSES Act, a proposal to use a minuscule fraction of our excessive federal land stock to address the housing crisis. In his post, Backer said Senate Republicans were “secretly trying […]
President Donald Trump and the Democrats are fighting over the national flag, America’s preeminent patriotic symbol. Democrats know it’s a problem that they’re accurately seen as often being anti-American in their policies (e.g., mass illegal immigration) and worldview (e.g., shouting that the United States is irredeemably racist). So on flag day, they handed out little […]
By targeting senior Iranian government and military officials, eliminating top nuclear scientists, and crippling critical components of the regime’s nuclear weapons infrastructure, Israel has forced the mullahs into a position they likely never imagined possible before the strikes. Through superior intelligence gathering and a meticulously executed military strategy, Israel has dealt a catastrophic blow to […]
The first American casualty of the Israel-Iran conflict was Tucker Carlson. “The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans,” Carlson said on June 7. The Tehran Times, which calls itself the “voice of the Islamic Revolution,” praised Carlson’s acuity and agreed that American foreign policy is controlled by Fox News’s Mark Levin. […]
President Donald Trump prostrated himself before Vladimir Putin following a threat by Russia‘s leader to commit new war crimes in Ukraine. Trump’s relevant post followed his call with Putin on Wednesday. Noting that the two leaders had discussed Trump’s effort to secure a new nuclear agreement with Iran, Trump added that “we discussed the attack […]
California is still wrestling with its affordability crisis and has a gas price catastrophe hanging over the state’s future. California Democrats, meanwhile, are focused on letting murderers out of jail early. The California State Senate voted 24-11 to pass the “Youth Rehabilitation and Opportunity Act.” That whitewashed title is for a bill that would allow […]
A teenage competitor who has transitioned from male to female was able to compete in a California state championship as a girl, against girls, over the weekend. The California Interscholastic Federation rule changes last week made it so that the young woman who would have otherwise won first place shared the podium with the transgender […]
President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account on Tuesday to criticize Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for being reluctant to support the much-ballyhooed “big, beautiful bill.” The rebuke stems from the senator’s hesitation to vote for the bill over concerns that it will have significant negative ramifications regarding the country’s national debt. When Trump […]
You see the same pattern over much of the world. In three consecutive presidential elections in the United States. In the latest polls in Britain, where the 2016 Brexit referendum was the first notable outbreak. In France‘s most recent national election and in Germany’s. In Canada’s election last month. And maybe in Poland and South […]
In 2020, Azerbaijan launched a surprise attack on the Armenian-governed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, after a devastating blockade, it completed its conquest, ethnically cleansing 120,000 Armenian residents and then dynamiting the regional parliament lest the real democracy it represented spread into Azerbaijan. When Yuri Kim, the acting assistant secretary of state, told the U.S. […]
Britain and the United States will soon meet to seek progress on a trade agreement that the two nations negotiated last month. While the general 10% U.S. tariff on most other U.K. goods remains in place, the agreement aimed to reduce duties on British-made steel, aluminum, and cars. One tariff, however, was left untouched: Scotch. […]
Greta Thunberg, the 22-year-old who gained fame as the world’s favorite mentally unstable climate advocate, has joined 11 activists in a mission to break “Israel’s siege” of Gaza. On Sunday afternoon in Sicily, Thunberg, adorned in a keffiyeh, boarded Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s sailing boat Madleen and departed for Gaza in a bid to raise “international […]
On Monday, President Donald Trump posted in his trademark capital letters: “WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” This is the consistent message from the president from his inauguration forward. On Monday, his press secretary added some detail, but the crucial message remains the same. “President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain […]
President Donald Trump has nominated senior Department of Justice official Emil Bove to a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, an announcement that has ignited a firestorm of opposition across the political landscape — from the left about qualifications and consultation, and from the right regarding his overall fitness for […]
After 54 years, the Supreme Court corrected an immensely costly lower court error. More than half a century ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stopped a nuclear power plant from being built in Maryland, setting off a wave of anti-economic activism nationwide. However, the Supreme Court has at last dealt a […]
During a long-ago spate of police misconduct issues, then-NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly noted with dismay that some of the accused had only recently joined...
