Military units will conduct a one-day voting stand-down in each election year. Service members can use the time to mail absentee ballots or vote in person. More than 418,000, or 23%, were NOT registered to vote in 2024, per the Federal Voting Assistance Program. Nearly three-quarters of active-duty members are eligible to vote absentee because they live more than 50 miles from their registered voting address.

Feelings are valued, they’re celebrated, more than rational thought is. People with deeply emotional political feelings are certain they have winning arguments. Let’s engage them. You hate Trump so, so much? Well, that settles it. And you feel that criminals shouldn’t languish behind bars, even after committing two or however many crimes? Oh, your feelings reflect true justice. In your heart, you believe that about 15 million people (twice the population of New Jersey) living in the U.S. illegally deserve sanctuaries from immigration enforcement, ones defended by street protestors. . . and they should be given benefits not available to...

Technology is changing the way we shop, and it’s happening faster than most people realise. Businesses have every right to protect themselves from theft. But as AI, cameras and automated monitoring become more common, it’s also worth asking where we draw the line between security, convenience and privacy. Once new technology becomes part of everyday life, it’s rarely rolled back.

ITHACA, NY — Immediately following her appointment as a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged sexual assault of a female student, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she was indicting President Donald Trump in the Cornell case. Fierce debate swirled on social media about the case, but James said she determined almost instantly upon joining the investigation that Trump was the one who was ultimately responsible for the incident. "I know he's to blame somehow," James told the media when announcing the indictment. "Though he was not present at the time of the incident, has no connection...

Vance has said he will wait until after the midterms before deciding whether to run in 2028. Vance declined to speculate about whether a poor Republican showing could discourage him from running.

I play senior softball and an individual who played on one of the teams in our league has joined our every day pick-up ball group.He is totally deaf but I believe he can read lips. It's hard for everyone to understand what he is communicating to us so he tries to make it simple and rudimentary.So, I've decided to try to learn ASL in an attempt to be able to converse with him on a level he can understand. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience in ASL in dealing with anyone they know is deaf.

At National Right to Life News Today, we post article after article, story after story about the invidious “abortion pill,” alternatively labeled “chemical abortion,” or the preferred [to the Abortion Industry] “medication abortion.” Whatever it’s called, it is lethal to the developing unborn child and incredibly painful to the mother, even deadly. Naturally, Planned Parenthood stands at the front of the line, proudly announcing this “service” to abortion-prone women. I remember once writing about how I’d run across a tribute–although tribute is understating the gratitude–to Planned Parenthood: ”Biggest thank you ever to Planned Parenthood–my abortion.” The young woman tells us...

It can be hard to know what to say to a pregnant lady, especially when you're the man she's depending on for love and support. Fear not, gentlemen. The Babylon Bee interviewed thousands of expectant ladies to create this list of the ten most precious lines that every pregnant wife wants to hear from her man: "All of the Sonic ice in the entire city is now safely inside our freezer": She will love you forever for this. "My sister lost all her baby weight in two weeks": Nothing wrong with a little inspiration. "It's confirmed, the delivery room...

Ever since ABC paid Trump $15,000,000 because they lied repeatedly about Trump, their already biased coverage seems to have gotten worse. Rarely do they highlight the positive things happening in America. Instead, they rush to amplify any perceived problem. Today's "news": 1. Overt gushing about the "Olympian" who was seen pulling material out of the reflecting pool. [Did Good Mourning ever cover the failed attempts by Democrat party leaders to fix the pool?] 2. Fear mongering over a bump in mortgage rates. [The record setting inflation under Biden: how did Mourning cover it?] 3. Breathless coverage of a lawsuit by...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally filed a misconduct complaint against the Minnesota federal judges who admitted to the New York Times that they are using their power as judges to obstruct the Trump administration’s agenda. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter told followers on X that the DOJ is targeting the judges for engaging in an “unethical partisan press tour on immigration cases.” “Judges who covet publicity undermine public confidence in the rule of law,” McCotter added. Attorney General Todd Blanche blasted the clearly biased judges, saying that the U.S. government has a right, “just like every litigant...

A man tried to dodge his dinner bill by faking a medical emergency and calling 911 at a Georgia Red Lobster last week, according to authorities. Abdul Rasheed, 26, wound up essentially calling cops on himself on Sept. 24 when he tried to skip out on his $63 bill at the seafood joint located on Highway 5 in Douglasville, Ga, WSB-TV Atlanta reported. When emergency responders arrived, they found Rasheed perfectly fine — but apparently unwilling to pay for his feast. Douglasville police arrested him and charged him with theft of services, unlawful conduct during a 911 call, and making...

The laws already on the books cover a lot of harmful conduct involving AI, but they do not cover everything cleanly. As of October 2026, the U.S. still does not have one comprehensive federal AI law. Instead, AI is governed through a mixture of existing laws, agency authority, executive policy, and state laws.

AI security/control will probably develop into something akin to "anti-virus" software. The closest analogy is the entire cybersecurity industry: Antivirus began as one layer, but eventually we needed firewalls, identity management, intrusion detection, security operations centers, audits, penetration testing, and incident-response teams. What follows is the most likely path for AI.
