The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has spent years investigating the company for age discrimination and even filed a rare agency-initiated lawsuit against the company with no individual plaintiff claiming harm. Now, Arizona's Goldwater Institute is suing the EEOC to find out what's behind the federal bureaucracy's anti-meathead jihad....

Russian drone attacks appear to be overwhelming Ukraine's besieged air defenses with their highest hit rates since the war began, it was reported Monday. Moscow's military has used "swarm" tactics, with drones striking targets at three times the typical rate in recent months, Financial Times reported, citing official data. Roughly 15% of Iranian-designed drones, manufactured in Russia, penetrated defenses on average between April and June. That was up from only 5% during the previous three months. The war began in February 2022 when, in an unprovoked attack, Russia invaded Ukraine. The increased effectiveness of the slow-moving Shaheds — drones that...

It's one of the few factories in what used to be called "the Denim Capital of Africa" that's still operating after U.S. President Donald Trump announced in April...

~Ladies and gentlemen, the next mayor of Minneapolis... Mogadishu? Nope - Minneapolis victory party of Omar Fateh after he won the MN Democratic endorsement pic.twitter.com/QzBwVWPbC2 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) July 20, 2025 Minnesota Nice is looking more and more like Minnesota Suicidal. Whatever else may be said of it, in Mogadishu it would be considered weird - and kind of pathetic - to make, say, Garrison Keillor the mayor. In that sense, notwithstanding an IQ down at Congressional-approval level, Somalis are smarter than western progressives. Which brings me to our regular, if increasingly obnoxious, "As I was saying twenty years...

Columbia University Engineers, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), have developed a “robot metabolism” process that gives robots the unusual ability to consume other robots and use their components to heal, grow, and improve themselves. In a statement, the researchers behind the ominous-sounding work say that the ability of robots to maintain and potentially improve their physical components and capabilities, while artificial intelligence systems are already expanding their own autonomous capabilities, is a necessary step toward “self-sustaining robot ecologies.” Unlike biological organisms, robots lack the ability to change, repair, or improve their physical state without outside assistance....

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he could be called as a witness in President Donald Trump’s suit against The Wall Street Journal, arguing that he could help “prove malice” in the case.
