President Donald Trump will likely lose the Republican presidential primary race in 2024 and, failing that, the general election should he decide to run again. “Whether he runs or not, I don’t really know if it matters,” Ryan stated. “He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.” Ryan made the comments during an appearance with Kevin Kajiwara, CEO of Teneo, the public affairs consulting firm of which Ryan is vice chairman, at their office in Manhattan. Ryan also accused Trump of using “fear and intimidation” to maintain political influence over the Republican Party, which he predicted would end...

Integrating neurons into digital systems may enable performance infeasible with silicon alone. Here, we develop DishBrain, a system that harnesses the inherent adaptive computation of neurons in a structured environment. In vitro neural networks from human or rodent origins are integrated with in silico computing via a high-density multielectrode array. Through electrophysiological stimulation and recording, cultures are embedded in a simulated game-world, mimicking the arcade game “Pong.” Applying implications from the theory of active inference via the free energy principle, we find apparent learning within five minutes of real-time gameplay not observed in control conditions. Further experiments demonstrate the importance...

The United States will send munitions and military vehicles to Ukraine as part of a new $725 million security assistance package aimed at bolstering the country's defense against the Russian invasion, the Defense Department said on Friday. The package is the first since Russia's barrage of missiles fired on civilian population centers in Ukraine this week. It will bring the total of U.S. security assistance since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 to more than $17.5 billion. The contents of the latest package, first reported by Reuters, includes high-speed anti-radiation missiles (HARMs) and precision-guided artillery as well as medical supplies,...

POLITICO’s National Security Daily has procured two telling documents on the Ukraine war: a list of Ukraine’s latest weapons requests circulating in Washington, D.C., and a slide deck used at today’s extraordinary meeting of 30 nations to curb Russia’s military rearmament. First off, the “priority items” list, obtained Thursday night. Eight months into the war, Ukraine is asking for: — 300 Main battle tanks — 1,000 BMP armored personnel carriers — 30 Multiple Launch Rocket System — 250 155mm artillery systems — 500 anti-tank guided missiles — 1,000 man-portable air-defense systems — 72 short-range air defense systems — 20 AN/TPQ-36,...

For the first time in my adult life, there is a genuine sense of decay in Britain—a realization that something has been lost that will be difficult to recover, something more profound than pounds and pence, political personalities, or even prime ministers. Over the past three weeks, the U.K. has been gripped by a crisis of crushing stupidity, one that has gone beyond all the turmoil of Brexit, Boris, even the great bank bailouts of 2007, and touched that most precious of things: core national credibility. Today, we had the absurd spectacle of a prime minister, barely a month into...

Although the time and location are yet to be identified, the event appears to have been sponsored by IPIC Movie Theaters which operates a number of locations across the northeastern US, Florida and California. In the...

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s new Treasury chief on Saturday acknowledged mistakes made by his predecessor and suggested that he may reverse much of Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss’ tax-cutting plans in order to bring stability to the country after weeks of economic and political turbulence. Jeremy Hunt, who was brought in Friday to replace Kwasi Kwarteng as Treasury chief and restore order in Truss’ administration, warned of “difficult decisions” to come. He said taxes could rise and public spending budgets would likely be squeezed further in the coming months. Truss on Friday fired Kwarteng and ditched her pledge to scrap...

Alaska will cancel the upcoming winter snow crab season in the Bering Sea for the first time, and bar fishers from catching king crabs in the Bristol Bay for a second consecutive year, because of a sharp decline in their estimated population. This week’s announcements by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game deal a severe blow to fishers that make a living off the crabs. They also bring back to the forefront questions about the role of climate change in the rapid decline of the snow crab population: The number of juvenile snow crabs was at record highs just...

Some insiders have told Liberation Times that new UAP whistleblower language could be signed into law “in weeks” and after upcoming midterm elections. Corbell comments: “The Silver Bullet is coming.” Once National Defense Authorization Act 2023 becomes law, it is expected that public Congressional hearings will take place, and whistleblowers have already been requested to testify. It has also been confirmed by multiple sources that information relating to alleged secretive UAP retrieval and reverse-engineering programs has now been verified by Congress. There is now some urgency from Congress to provide transparency and some insiders hope that any released information can...

he U.S. Navy has released 35 brief reports regarding various incidents involving its ships and facilities and unidentified small uncrewed aircraft systems, or sUASs, across the entire span of the Pacific between 2016 and 2021. Not all of the reports appear to be notable, and some are clearly innocuous, but others absolutely provide additional evidence of concerning trends that The War Zone has been actively reporting on in recent years. Among the newly released reports, for instance, is one that covers a worrying encounter that the Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Paul Hamilton had with four drones in the Pacific...

MESA, AZ — Maricopa County’s top election official said he has seen reports that there was a group of people in the vicinity of a ballot drop box in Mesa watching voters drop off their ballots. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said during a press conference on Thursday that he has heard reports and seen reports online that the group was in the vicinity of the Mesa drop box located at the juvenile courts building. Richer did not elaborate on who the group is, but expressed concern if a voter becomes confronted, “Any attempt to deter, intimidate a lawful voter...

Anastacia Ntouni and Angelique are Greek-Australian Freedom Party candidates for the lower house of Victoria's state parliament in next months's election. They do not want any more of a government which: A. imprisons people in their own homes for the bogus excuse of public health safety. B. abuses human rights. C. lets teachers teach gender fluidity to small children. Women like this are both profoundly conservative custodians of the Greek democratic culture and radical revolutionaries opposing despotism. God Bless Freedom.

On episode 8 of the show we are joined by Dmitry Kulikov, a Russian political scientist, publicist and political consultant. Expert of the State Duma Committee of the Russian Federation on CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots. Film producer, TV and radio presenter. Very interesting look at how a noted Russian sees the Ukraine special military operation, the United States and our relationship with Russia past and present. Russians believe that they are actually at war with the United States, not Ukraine and that the U.S. will continue the war until the last Ukrainian in a bid to weaken Russia....

Russia has lost 60% of its raw oil shipping market in Europe after launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In the next two months, the market for Russia will almost completely disappear, and new sanctions will make it difficult to redirect flows to other directions, Bloomberg reports. Russian oil supplies to Europe averaged 630,000 barrels a day a month ago, down from 1.62 million before the full-scale war began.... The rate of sea exports of Russian oil at 604,000 barrels per day is the lowest rate for the year. Flows fell by 56,000 barrels per day, or 8%, compared to...

This is one of the best interviews I have heard in years. Will Cain interviews Tucker Carlson for 56 minutes. It's Fox News on YouTube. It provides an in depth look at Tucker and his political views.

A North Carolina father-of-one spent 24 hours in jail for refusing to wear a mask as ordered by a judge despite no state or county mandates in place. Gregory Hahn, 47, a US Navy veteran, was among several of 98 jury duty candidates called to Harnett County court who showed up not wearing a mask because there were no such rules or warnings in place, WRAL reports. Despite the fact that masks aren't required in the building, Judge Winston Charles Gilchrist mandated that everyone in his courtroom wear a mask.
