A brand-protection firm is working to take down a map that shows Flock Safety’s artificial intelligence-powered camera network is larger than the company publicly stated. Cybersecurity researcher Joshua Michael published a map on Wednesday showing more than 300,000 Flock devices across the U.S., including more than 170,000 Flock cameras. Doppel, an “AI-native social engineering defense platform,” filed a trademark complaint Thursday to have the map removed... These findings arise as lawmakers heard statements about the issues surrounding these cameras in a Wednesday Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Crime and Counterterrorism. Michael built his “Flock Surveillance Map” with Flock location data...

Few things make me happier than seeing phony Catholic left-wing front groups that I have been battling for years go under. I fought Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good—I debated them and discredited them—and they no longer exist. I fought Faith in Public Life for a long time, and its obituary is now official. I know I will be criticized for gloating. My critics are right—I am over the moon. We knew last year when Faith in Public Life laid off 90 percent of its staff—they went from 19 employees to two in August 2025—that they...

The arrogance of the oligarchs is extraordinary. THEY WANT IT ALL. In this election, Musk and other billionaires will spend huge amounts of money to make sure that Congress works for them — not working families. We can beat them. Educate. Organize. Get your friends to vote.

This video explores how Canon is challenging ASML's dominant monopoly in the semiconductor industry with its innovative nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology. Key takeaways: The Challenge: While ASML relies on incredibly expensive and complex Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light systems (costing up to $350 million) (1:26), Canon has developed the FPA-1200NZ2C, a system that uses a physical stamp to pattern chips (0:23, 4:37). This method is significantly cheaper and more energy-efficient (0:23, 7:45). The Technology: Nanoimprint works by pressing a mold directly into a polymer on a wafer (3:13). While historically plagued by contamination issues, Canon—through its 2014 acquisition of Molecular Imprints—has...

President Donald Trump will reportedly make an announcement in the Oval Office on Monday, after a week of meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and a reported Sunday dinner with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

Daily Readings from the USCCBAn argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is the greatest.” Luke 9:46–48The Twelve Apostles had left everything behind to follow Jesus. Their lives had been radically transformed. As they accompanied Him on His mission, they heard...

A University of Georgia student was seriously injured on Saturday night when she fell out of a window.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A car crashed into the back of a MARTA bus after a red light on Memorial Drive. The crash happened near Memorial Drive and George Luther Drive. Passengers on the bus told Channel 2’s Eryn Rogers that they felt a jolt on an otherwise normal bus ride. There were elderly people and children on board the MARTA bus at the time of the crash. They were checked out by responding EMS. No one was seriously injured.

or now, they will be housed in a biosecure panda complex for a quarantine period, which will last about a month, as they get used to their new home. Once that period is over, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang will be ready for their public debut. There is no word from zoo officials on when that will be. They are the fifth and sixth pandas to come to the U.S. since all of the pandas previously returned to China. Zoo Atlanta is one of three zoos nationwide to house pandas. Ping Ping and Fu Shuang were born at China’s Chengdu...

ITHACA, NEW YORK — It’s socialist red at Big Red! Cornell University’s lefty crowd gave Democratic Socialist superstar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a warm, hate-filled welcome by singing anti-Israel chants at a campaign event meant to gin up support for Democrats ahead of the midterms Sunday. While warming up the standing-room-only crowd of roughly 2,000 people gathered for the congresswoman’s “Students vs. Billionaires” town hall in downtown Ithaca Sunday, Cornell University Young Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Mina Petrova and Zoe Reisman led the crowd singing “from the river to the sea” and declaring “long live the student intifada.” “Cornell is...

Suspicion

New information has come to light in the investigation into five men who were arrested outside of RAF Fairford in three vans presumed to contain explosives.According to Reuters, citing a source with knowledge on the matter, the motive for the foiled plot near RAF Fairford in Britain is most likely going to be Iranian-linked. Per the report, Russian sabotage and Islamic terror links are also being chased down. The investigation is in its nascent stages at this point and UK officials have repeatedly told reporters and made statements urging people against jumping to conclusions. pic.twitter.com/PCnl74BOSm— OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) September 27, 2026Sources...

Yes, the gas prices are high, but I live in California, where gas prices are always going to be higher than in the rest of the country. I don't blame President Trump, nor do I blame the conflict in Iran. If Iran wasn't trying to blow us up in a nuclear holocaust, then there would have been no reason for the United States to attack them! California shut down two refineries, and they add taxes and fees on top of more taxes and fees. Don’t scream at Trump, blue state residents. Blame your own incompetent state governments! Am I happy...

From my balcony in the Judean mountains, I can see the lights of Jordan on a clear night and the skyline of Amman at sunrise. On other nights, I simply look south and east and know that the same Iranian missiles and drones from the Houthis in Yemen threatening my children and grandchildren are also threatening the mosques, holy cities, the oil fields, and the very capital that keep the House of Saud in power. That is the uncomfortable intimacy of this region. We are not friends. We are not yet even fully acknowledged as legitimate neighbors. Yet Riyadh is...

Generation Z adults are more likely than older Americans to describe themselves as “religious,” even as many also engage in practices at odds with Christian teaching, according to a new survey. The Harris Poll released a survey Thursday based on responses from 2,136 U.S. adults collected July 1 to 4. The poll grouped respondents by generation: Generation Z (ages 18 to 29), millennials (30 to 45), Generation X (46 to 61) and baby boomers (62 and older). Gen Z adults were the most likely to consider themselves religious and the least likely to describe themselves as neither religious nor spiritual....

Archaeologists have unearthed a monumental 2,700-year-old tomb at Vulci, an important ancient Etruscan town north of Rome. Despite repeated attempts by tomb robbers to loot this burial over the centuries, the tomb still contained a massive collection of grave goods, including weapons, gold and bronze plates, chariot parts, a rare pair of women's shoes, and a complete banquet set. The burial, nicknamed the Tomb of the Stone Chamber, was excavated this summer, according to a translated statement from the Italian Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Province of Viterbo and Southern Etruria (SABAP-VT-EM). But the discovery builds...

Apparently, Democrats’ internal polling suggests gas prices won’t be enough to sweep them into power in the Midterms. They may also suggest endlessly mouthing “affordability” isn’t that hot either, which is plausibly why AI, in development for many years, has suddenly become their newest source of imminent doom. Happily, for Americans, it appears AI hysteria isn’t going to work very well either. Americans seem to have learned from the COVID hoax. The other day, I paid $4.17 for gas. That didn’t make me happy, but I know it’s temporary. President Trump’s policies, based in reality and a solid understanding of...
