DEMOCRATIC VOTERS REJECT RESISTANCE STARS. There has been a lot of commentary on the differences between Resistance 1.0, the effort by anti-Trump activists to bring down President Donald Trump in his first term, and Resistance 2.0, the effort by anti-Trump activists to bring down Trump in his second term. There are some tactical contrasts, but the […]
Concerns are growing about the national security implications of artificial intelligence. As frontier AI models grow more capable, their ability to break free from their controls grows with them. Case in point: the recent OpenAI and Anthropic incidents. According to recent disclosures, OpenAI’s most powerful models not only went rogue and hacked the AI open-source […]
Opposition to data centers has become a threat to the computing capacity America’s AI buildout requires. In a Gallup poll conducted in March, 71% of adults opposed a data center near them — far more than the 53% who opposed a nearby nuclear plant. Data Center Watch counted at least 75 projects worth roughly $130 […]
Is population growth a bad thing? Much of the Left believes it is, and some of their unlikely allies on the Right have started to agree. The Left tends to see people as polluters, which makes every additional birth a burden on the planet. Some self-styled conservatives reach the same destination by a different road: […]
Customs and Border Protection personnel searched more than 55,000 phones, laptops, and tablets at the border last year, a number that has climbed sixfold since 2015, even though it still touches only a small fraction of the more than 400 million travelers the agency processed. Most of those searches turn up nothing more interesting than […]
I have spent more than a decade as a designated expert witness on fiduciary duty, testifying in federal and state courts about what happens when the people managing other people’s money stop checking who is actually entitled to it. Every case follows the same pattern. Someone stopped verifying. The losses piled up quietly until an […]
Silicon Valley promised that artificial intelligence would live seamlessly in the cloud. Instead, it landed heavily in America’s backyards. This physical intrusion sparked a bipartisan grassroots revolt that has already stalled over $130 billion in infrastructure projects. The assets that were once Wall Street’s ultimate growth darlings have hit a wall of public fury, political […]
With all the discussion around artificial intelligence, some still view AI as abstract, but make no mistake: Artificial intelligence is the new, and very real, engine that will power our economic and military might in the future. We’ve built strong AI models on foundational AI chip technology, but our success in the AI race against […]
There is an easy way to read Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to host Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al Zaidi in Ankara on July 28, and to call the visit “historic”: as an energy story, a pipeline story, a story about barrels and stakes. That reading is not wrong, but simply incomplete. For two […]
President Donald Trump has approached the AI race as a long-term strategic imperative for America. His administration’s AI Action Plan is built around accelerating innovation, expanding infrastructure, and strengthening America’s position in a contest that will shape commerce, defense, and political power for years to come. That’s the kind of framework America needs. It’s why […]
Michael Silverstein and John Wong, both former chairmen of the United States Preventive Services Task Force, recently argued that Health Secretary and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s decision to remove the panel’s top leaders threatens the integrity of preventive medicine. They warn that a “task force beholden to political interests could roll back […]
American families and businesses have a fundamental expectation of the electric grid: When they flip the switch, the lights should come on at a cost they can afford. As fundamental as that expectation is, Washington is putting it in jeopardy. Driven by data centers, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and electrification, electricity demand is accelerating at […]
By double-digit margins, America’s voters are strongly behind President Donald Trump’s determination to end the war Iran has been waging against us for the last 47 years. They want him to finish the job to ensure that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon with which to threaten us. You wouldn’t know that if all you […]
