— Yes, it needs guardrails, but it also offers big opportunities, notes former Microsoft executiveArtificial intelligence (AI) has an image problem when it comes to healthcare, but it actually represents a big opportunity to improve things, Tom Lawry said at the Population Health Colloquium here. "When you think about everything that you've been reading, whether it's lay journals or clinical journals, there's a lot of talk about the [AI] threat, that we should go slower," Lawry, managing director at Second Century Technology in Seattle, said. The speed of change is hard to keep up with and many things still need...

Breaking news relevant to only 100 Americans: The U.S. Senate will no longer enforce its dress code for members. Is this yet another sign of constitutional decadence, or is it a step into modernity for the fusty, antiquated chamber? Either way, it’s the best news ever for Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who would prefer to do business while looking like he’s on a Saturday-morning jog. Not everyone is happy. “The Senate chamber isn’t your home, a gym, or an outdoor park,” wrote former congressman Justin Amash (I-Mich.) in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “If you can’t dress...

Diabetes drug and blood thinner Eliquis among first 10 targeted for price negotiations in effort to cut Medicare costs.

Not sure when allegations – without any criminal charges – became the standard for punishing people. I guess that change took place sometime in mid-2020. Maybe we’re just noticing it now. It’s strange, because now anyone who doesn’t like someone can destroy their life by accusing him of something. It’s surprising YouTube didn’t just ban him outright. They’ve been waiting to do that. The Guardian: YouTube has suspended Russell Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform following allegations of rape and sexual assault in a massive hit to his finances. The video-sharing and social media site said it had...

President Biden gave a Bronx cheer to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the rest of the Big Apple while in town for the UN General Assembly this week — failing to set up a meeting with Hizzoner as the debilitating migrant crisis continues to cripple Gotham. The country’s commander in chief has instead spent much of his time attending multiple campaign receptions or holed up at the United Nations Headquarters in Midtown Manhattan – just four blocks from the city’s overrun migrant intake site at the once-iconic Roosevelt. Adams — making it clear Tuesday that “everybody knows where...

Not every coin produced by the United States Mint is embraced by the public or does its job for a consequential period of time. Some start out promising and then drop off, while others are spectacular failures from the outset. Here is CoinWeek’s list of Ten U.S. Coin “Failures”. 1. The $3 Gold Coin Some coins just make you scratch your head and wonder what Congress was thinking. Authorized by the Coinage Act of February 21, 1853, the three-dollar gold piece was struck from 1854 until its discontinuance in 1889. One supposed reason for the development of the three-dollar coin...

Philadelphia Inquirer national columnist Will Bunch gaslit the American public in an outrageous full-throated defense of “Bidenomics.” Bunch’s Sept. 14 column headline speaks for itself: “The problem with ‘Bidenomics’? It didn’t go far enough.” The columnist doubled down on his absurd logic in the sub-headline: “New census data shows how ‘Bidenomics’ was helping America's working class and poor — until a key anti-poverty program was killed.” Economists interviewed by MRC Business showed why the argument was nonsense. The columnist attempted to bend the recent jaw-dropping Sept. 12 U.S. Census Bureau report that showed the overall U.S. poverty rate spiked 4.6...

The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that they lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers. At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office. D’Antuono has testified behind closed doors to the House Judiciary Committee that his office was aware...

Kix will play their final show this month — and according to vocalist Steve Whiteman, not a moment too soon. The Maryland rockers are set to end a 45-year career with a Sept. 17 hometown gig at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia. "I don't want to go out sucking — I want to go out being pretty good," Whiteman said on a recent episode of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk (via Blabbermouth). "But age takes its toll," he added, citing drummer Jimmy Chalfant's 2021 heart attack and subsequent onstage collapse last November as contributing factors. The vocalist also...

Photo: AlamyIn June 2022, the long-standing infamous Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade and its subsequent reaffirmation in Planned Parenthood v. Casey was dashed to pieces when three newly appointed Supreme Court justices tipped the scales forever in a victory for life.With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, federal protection for abortion was terminated, answering the prayers of millions of conservatives, people of faith, and passionate pro-life advocates across the nation. The fall of Roe v. Wade was nothing short of a miracle for proponents of the pro-life movement, and it is a victory for life that should never...

Wrongly convicted Proud Boy, Enrique Tarrio, broke the news this weekend that Biden officials asked him to lie about President Trump on Thursday, as reported by Cara Castronuovo of the Acar Pundit. “They asked me to LIE about President Trump in order to indict him,” Enrique Tarrio exclusively told the Gateway Pundit. “I told them to pound sand, and because I refused to lie about President Trump it cost me twenty-two years of my life.” .....

Once again, RINO influencers and talking heads have begun attacking...
