If you didn’t see Elon Musk explain his vision of the future, you need to. He states that in ten years there will be “well over a billion humanoid robots” whose productivity per robot will be “five times that of a human.” He thinks this is a “conservative” estimate, and would put “serious betting money on” their being “more productive than all humans combined.” How will this happen? Musk says once you start making robots, “the robots will start manufacturing other robots, so you get a recursive effect. It starts slowly, but then grows at an explosive rate.” Necessity sparks...

Democrats are using every means possible to keep pushing the can down the road to buy time, but there is no time left to return integrity to America’s elections. The SAVE America Act, which would have cleaned the rolls and secured the elections, passed the House and is dead in the Senate. House and Senate recesses used up the calendar. Trump then tried to do by executive order what the Senate refused to do by statute: requiring proof of citizenship, a reliable federal voter list, and limits on mailed ballots. Election officials in fraud-prone areas, however, refuse to produce the...

An Ohio man has been convicted of trying to kill his ex-wife, whom he allegedly attempted to shoot while she was dining with her family at a Toledo restaurant last year. The incident was captured on surveillance video. Dig deeper: Matthew Exton, 43, a former attorney, was having a drink at Souk restaurant on April 11, 2025, when he saw his ex-wife, Kada Malone, dining with her parents at the nearby Italian restaurant Sabira, according to the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office. Exton entered Sabira, ordered a drink for Malone's table, spat in the family's direction and left. Surveillance video shows...

...Blessed Are Those Who Read This Book’ The book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible where we are told twice: “Blessed are those who read this book.” If you want to be blessed, you should read and study the book of Revelation, because the Bible promises that if you do, you will be blessed. And I surely have. I’ve learned so much about God’s sovereignty and His wonderful promise to us through the study of the Word. I know that He’s still in charge even though everything else looks like it’s going south on us....

Chutz-POW! A host of rabbis recently participated in a five-day “summer camp” featuring extensive firearms training as Jewish leaders from across the US prepared for the High Holidays. The pilot program, run by Los Angeles-based Jewish security organization Magen Am USA, brought together 20 Chabad Hasidic rabbis from 12 states for an intensive crash course designed to help them respond to potential threats at their synagogues and in their communities. The program, which also included emergency medicine and security training, took place in August in Los Angeles. It came as Jewish communities across California and the country grapple with heightened...

The failures that led to 9/11 remain unaddressed to this day. uch has been written about 9/11 on the 25th anniversary of this attack on our soil. To my mind, the most prescient was by Ayaan Hirsi Ali in Tablet Magazine. Before I get to it (and I hope you will take time to read more than I can summarize here), we need to review failures that led to the attack and failures that followed. In this regard, we are aided by this week’s CIA declassification of 71 Presidential Daily Briefs from 1998 through December 2001. SHOCKING DECLASSIFIED CIA FILES...

Chauffeurs ferrying wealthy clients around London are being trained how to keep their passengers safe at one of the capital's busiest transport hubs, the Daily Mail can reveal. Regarded as one of the UK's most iconic stations, King's Cross and its neighbours, St Pancras International and King's Cross St Pancras Underground, have become a hotspot for Algerian gangs, luggage thieves and phone snatchers. Just last week, footage emerged of a smartly dressed thief brazenly snatching an influencer's Louis Vuitton suitcase – worth an estimated £2,600 – from a taxi rank outside the stations. Elsewhere outside St Pancras, an Algerian gang...

The centre-left opposition holds a narrow lead over the ruling right-wing bloc but Prime ⁠Minister Ulf Kristersson's four-party alliance – which includes the far right Sweden Democrats – has been catching up in the final weeks of campaigning.

[Note: Catching up for yesterday] Explanation: Bright sunlight glints as long dark shadows mark this image of the surface of the Moon. It was taken on July 20, 1969, by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first to walk on the lunar surface. Pictured is the mission's lunar module, the Eagle, and spacesuited lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin is unfurling a long sheet of foil also known as the Solar Wind Composition Experiment. Exposed facing the Sun, the foil trapped particles streaming outward in the solar wind, catching a sample of material from the Sun itself. Along with 22...

She was the perfect American neighbor — sweet, hardworking and the ideal homemaker. Everybody liked her. She was also a Nazi. The new movie “The Housewife,” which had its world premiere this week at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the strange story of Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan, a notoriously cruel Nazi death camp guard who hid out undetected for years in New York, before finally being caught. Director Ben Shirinian’s film, starring a Stepford-style Naomi Watts as Ryan, is just OK. The drama is often overplayed. Watts, with a store-bought sauerkraut accent, has been stuck in schmactor mode lately. And...

We All Shook the Hell Out of This Thing There are certain toys that instantly transport me back to being a kid, and the Etch A Sketch is way up there. That chunky red frame, the two white knobs, and that little gray screen where I’d spend ten minutes creating something vaguely squarish, then make one catastrophic wrong turn, and immediately shake the entire thing into oblivion. Annoying, sure. But it still felt like magic.

"Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth" (Eph. 6:14). Truthfulness is the best defense against Satan’s lies. The first piece of armor Paul mentions in Ephesians 6:14 is the belt of truth. Roman soldiers of his day wore a tunic, which was a large square piece of material with holes for the head and arms. A belt kept the tunic from flying loosely and getting in the way in the midst of battle. The phrase "having girded your loins" was commonly used for gathering up the loose material of one's tunic or robe when preparing for battle or...

An MS NOW news crew had to be rescued by eight Border Patrol agents after its SUV became stranded in the remote Texas desert. Antonia Hylton and her crew were reporting from Texas’ Big Bend region for the debut of “The Assignment” when their Jeep Wagoneer bottomed out shortly after a visit to the Alvarado Ranch. “As the sun went down, our Jeep Wagoneer bottomed out in the desert,” Hylton said. The stranded crew needed help from Border Patrol as darkness descended, according to Hylton. “Eight Border Patrol agents in four different trucks came out that night to rescue our...

This past Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026, the German city of Erfurt hosted a so-called Christopher Street Day (CSD) event, which is basically the European version of what in the United States is a ‘gay pride’ parade. The idea behind such an event is for sodomites and aberrosexuals of every kind, as well as their supporters, to walk through the streets while flaunting their attachment to unnatural vice, which they celebrate and glorify. In this manner they also reinforce their social presence and march for greater acceptance, equal rights, etc., ad nauseam. The Christopher Street Day 2026 parade in Erfurt included...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (9/13/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 21[a]For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 The king rejoices in your strength, Lord. How great is his joy in the victories you give! 2 You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.[b] 3 You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head. 4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever. 5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;...

In a blurry red, visually cryptic post on X.com, Tesla announced the launch date for its long-promised second generation Roadster: 10.01. Although the image and text in the post itself don’t confirm that the announcement is indeed about Roadster, Tesla posted a link to go with it, to the Roadster page on Tesla.com, which makes it indisputable: come October 1, we’re getting a big update on the second-generation Tesla Roadster and it may have rockets mounted on top. Or... big searchlights. Or possibly snow blower nozzles. Who knows? The image is really blurry. If you recall, back on November 16,...
