Imagine paying good money to see a gorgeous geographic marvel in the mountains of Peru, only to get there and find it was an AI hallucination, leaving you stuck in the middle of nowhere at 13,000 feet with no beautiful vista, no oxygen, and no cellphone signal. According to the BBC, that's exactly what one couple was on their way to do if not for local guide Miguel Angel Gongora Meza, who overheard their enthusiastic plans of hiking into the Andes unaccompanied to see the fabled "Sacred Canyon of Humantay." ‘They [showed] me the screenshot, confidently written and full of...

A notice calls the people the U.S. military recently killed on suspicion of drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea “unlawful combatants.”President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are “unlawful combatants,” the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week. The notice was sent to several congressional committees and obtained by The New York Times. It adds new detail to the administration’s thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.Universities were asked to sign a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” committing them to adopt the White House’s vision for America’s campuses. It asks the schools to accept the government’s priorities on admissions, women’s sports, free speech, student discipline and college affordability, among other topics.Signing on would give universities priority access to some federal grants, but government money would not be limited solely to those schools, according to a White House...

On Friday, Sept. 19, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation stating that new H-1B visa petitions submitted on Sept. 21 or after will require a $100,000 payment. This change would cause MIT to pay over $10 million every year for H-1B visa sponsorships. -snip- Although the majority of H-1B workers hold a computer-related job (65% in 2023), many universities in the U.S. issue H-1B visas for other international employees, including postdoctoral scholars, researchers, and professors.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would hold discussions on which “Democrat Agencies” should be cut amid the ongoing government shutdown. Trump said he will meet with Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, who oversees the allocation of federal funds. The shutdown started on Wednesday after the Senate failed to pass a temporary government funding bill backed by Republicans. “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those...

The Democrats have never been more dangerous than they are right now. It isn’t just that they felt the need to re-cancel Charlie Kirk after his brutal assassination, or that they delighted in celebrating his death, then pretended they were the victims when some of them lost their jobs. It isn’t just that they ignore or justify violence when it comes from their own side, or what they’ve done to the minds and bodies of children over the past 15 years, or that they’ve gutted a once thriving culture and destroyed our public schools and universities.It’s that they haven’t learned...

A government agency released data in September that should have lit Washington ablaze. It wasn’t new evidence that windmills cause cancer or that the proposed Cracker Barrel logo signaled the end of Western civilization. Rather, the Nation’s Report Card, which tracks education results across the country, revealed that student performance is falling in math and reading scores are below where they were in 1992. As best I can tell, neither the president nor the National Governors Association is treating this like the crisis it is. We should be as angry about the silence as we are about the scores. Few...

Donald Trump’s address to the UN once again has challenged the failing bloated institution, especially when its damage to our country and its Constitutional order by allowing globalist elites to chip away at our sovereignty in order to serve the “international community” of the “new world order” globalist elites. Much of our foreign policy errors and crises spring from the near century of the UN’s bad ideas and feckless idealism. Wielding his signature straight talk, Trump delivered a much-needed home truth: “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” he asked, and quickly answered, “For the most part, at least...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears on CNBC to discuss the second full day of the government shutdown and the potential ramifications therein. Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought is meeting with President Trump today to discuss the facets of the government that will be closed and for the duration therein. Secretary Bessent is asked if the furloughs will be a long-term feature of the backfire created by the Democrat strategy. Bessent reemphasizes he personally joined the Trump administration to shrink the scale of government spending, and the administration is not going to flinch on any CR agreement that...

The similarities among the United States and Israel include their shared Manifest Destiny. One appears historical, the other current. In reality, they are conjoint and continuous, because the basis of their action is reason and progress. Manifest means self-evident and clear. Destiny means fated and inevitable, often in the context of a divine calling, and destined by God to create a dominion, and spread a particular belief and culture. That faith and culture in the United States was a manifestation of modernization based on human progress. The country began as a small, isolated settlement, just as Israel began, but it...

Although the United States is widely acknowledged as the most powerful military force on earth, we haven’t decisively won a war since the hawkish-sounding Department of War became the peaceful-sounding Department of Defense, way back in 1947. We’ve never actually lost a war. Frankly we never came very close, not since the successful conclusion of our second and last war with Great Britain. Still, we managed to “invite” replays of major wars. For instance, When World War I ended with an armistice instead of a decisive victory, it set the stage for World War II. By learning our lessons, it...

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a multipronged effort aimed at lowering drug costs in the United States, including the creation of a “TrumpRx” direct-to-consumer website where Americans can buy medicine at discounted prices and a sweeping deal with Pfizer to reduce the prices of many of its products. “The United States is done subsidizing the health care of the rest of the world,” Trump said at a news conference. “By taking this bold step, we’re ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families.” Pfizer is the first drugmaker to voluntarily agree to all the...
