Super Micro Computer shares dropped over 8% Monday after Taiwanese prosecutors raided its local offices as part of an expanding investigation into the alleged smuggling of NVIDIA AI chip-equipped servers to China. The operation searched 12 locations including the offices of Chief Telecom and distributor Albatron Technology, and summoned six individuals for questioning. The raids widen a case that began in May with arrests over falsified export documents. The actions follow US indictments alleging a $2.5 billion smuggling scheme involving Super Micro’s co-founder. Taiwan currently lacks specific criminal statutes for AI chip re-exports but is considering legislation to close that...

Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.” O’Brien shared a link to a the Hill opinion piece titled, “I’m a Democratic Strategist. I Won’t Stay Silent About Graham Platner,” by Democrat strategist Laurie A. Watkins. Watkins wrote that a career spent fighting for Democratic causes does not mean blindly supporting every candidate with a “D” by their name. O’Brien’s response was brutal, saying political consultants like Watkins would be...

South Korean police are preparing huge security measures at the airport hosting the arrival of their World Cup football team - after the resigning manager faced a threat to his life. Hong Myung-bo, 57, oversaw a Korean team who won just one game and failed to get out of Group A behind hosts Mexico and South Africa and has resigned after the nation's president demanded an investigation into their poor performance. The situation has now escalated, with the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency announcing they are sending 160 riot and airport police for the return of the national team in Korea's...

VIDEO AT LINK............ NEW YORK (WABC) -- A helicopter pilot says he was almost hit by a remote-controlled plane near John F. Kennedy Airport - the second close call reported on Monday. "Just almost ran into a gigantic RC airplane right over there at Floyd Bennett," he told air traffic controllers. "...A big one, at 500 feet." The FAA said it is aware of reports that a helicopter pilot reported a remote-controlled plane flying close to it and has notified local authorities. The agency is not investigating at this time. Earlier in the day, a JetBlue flight was hit by...

Our liberal friends believe they are the wave of the future. In fact, of course, they have been resisting the future since the day after they got rid of the absolute monarchs. What are we to do about college kiddies like DSA shining star Darializa Avila Chevalier, a PhD student in sociology at the City University of New York, fighting on the front lines of Mayor Mamdani’s war on America? My advice, produced on my blog nine years ago, is: Nothing. We know, with the advent of artificial intelligence, that the world is going to change more than we can...

The new socialist movement believes it can remake America—but its growing radicalism may prove the very thing that drives voters away and fuels a counterrevolution. Win some blue-state and blue-city races, and the cocky new socialist Jacobins believe that they have either already taken over the Democratic Party or will soon absorb it. And in reaction to these new swarms, an increasingly terrified and ossified old Democrat guard either limps away from the hive or invites them in to take over more. It is fascinating but ultimately depressing to watch old-style Democrats say or do anything to avoid the new...

The movie, written and directed by German filmmaker Uwe Boll, is an inconvenient truth that the globalists don't want their people to see: an accurate portrayal of Muslim atrocities against white Europeans and, worse (to them), with a hopeful ending.

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (6/30/26)[Prayer]Personalities1 Samuel 2:1-11 2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4 The bows of the mighty men are...

Nearly 250 years ago, the United States tried negotiating with Islamic pirate states to stop the capture of American ships and the enslavement of Americans. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all learned the painful lesson that the negotiations were a trap. Treaties would be signed, agreements would be reached and would soon be broken because Muslims could freely lie to ‘infidels’ and had a religious obligation to wage war on them. “The precept of the Koran is perpetual war against all who deny that Mahomet is the prophet of God,” Adams summed it up. “The command to propagate...

Victor Davis Hanson’s defense of the Second Amendment is not merely academic. In a Dec. 6, 2025 episode of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words, the historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow recalled a late-night confrontation at his family farm that he says permanently shaped his view of armed self-defense. The episode was published under the title “Why Alvin Bragg Refuses To Recognize the Awesome Power of the Second Amendment.” Hanson is best known as a classicist, military historian, and conservative public intellectual. The Hoover Institution has described him as the author or editor of 24 books and hundreds...

n his many articles for Tablet and other outlets, Jacob Siegel, a journalist and war veteran, has focused on how rulers and elites use digital tools to calibrate information and control people. His new book, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control, traces the evolution—from 9/11 to the advent of AI—of a mammoth alliance between government and Big Tech that subverts our constitutional republic and enslaves Americans. According to Siegel, the foundation of the information state is a “whole-of-society” approach to governance that aligns “the most powerful institutions behind the dictates of the state.” Tech platforms, NGOs,...

An ordinance to repeal a ban on gay sex bathhouses in Minneapolis has been signed by Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who did so to support “our LGBTQIA+ neighbors.” The prohibition on the adult facilities known for hosting sexual activity with strangers was originally passed in the city in 1988 as a response to the AIDS epidemic. Local leaders, including those who identified as gay, deemed the bathhouses too risky to be open to the public due to the rampant spread of disease. When the “R-rated” bathhouses were banned nearly 40 years ago, the city had three, which the Washington Post...

Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) addressed the IKAR synagogue in Los Angeles and used the opportunity to deliver a host of observations excoriating those who, in his opinion, exercise homophobia and transphobia. Warnock, a Baptist pastor, joined Rabbi Sharon Brous in a public exchange after his initial sermon, but not before he espoused his condemnation for those that oppose his views, saying “transphobia” is “violence not only against humanity but against divinity. It is an offense to the glory of God.” Warnock later confessed he had to chasten some of those within his own church and community for their views because,...

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) related to luxury outings and family trips paid for with campaign donations, The Post confirmed. The DOJ probe into possible campaign finance violations by the potential 2028 Democratic presidential, first reported by Axios, stems from a whistleblower complaint out of Southern California. News of the investigation surfaced just hours after the Senate Ethics Committee rejected a complaint filed against the Arizona Democrat accusing him of campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct. “[President] Trump is targeting Senator Gallego while the most weaponized Department of Justice in history is turning...

@WojPawelczyk Joseph McCarthy was right: "One communist on the faculty of one university is one communist too many. One communist among the American advisors at Yalta was one communist too many. And even if there were only one communist in the State Department that would still be one communist too many." (1952)
