The Oklahoma Democrat Senate candidate is a weird duck. To be fair, all Democrats are weird, but this one is particularly strange. She is making a 'Burn Book' and putting Markwayne Mullin in it. Girl, get a grip. You aren't a teenager. VIDEOS AND REPLIES AT LINK...............

Well, for a movement we were told was just an “idea,” a massive swath of Antifa sure seems to have developed one helluva IT department. The public image of Antifa has always been this loosey-goosey street-level chaos, complete with black clothes, masks, pool noodles, broken windows, fights with cops, and somebody always setting something on fire. But those who pay even the slightest bit of attention know there’s a lot more to this very coordinated, highly funded network of anti-American storm troopers. And one of the biggest things they need are places to communicate without being easily tracked. They need...

Indira Talwani (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee) It’s official. Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the same Boston activist who spent the last two months trying to kill President Trump’s mail-in ballot security order, has now been forced to lift her nationwide injunction. The Justice Department asked her to reconsider after the Supreme Court slapped down her other block on Monday. On Wednesday she folded. In a nine-page order, Talwani conceded that, after Trump v. California, the League of Women Voters plaintiffs are “not likely to prevail as to ripeness” unless they rewrite their complaint now that the Postal Service has...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not some distant experiment reserved for Silicon Valley giants. It already reshapes Main Street. Far from ushering in Armageddon, AI gives small business owners the power to cut costs, serve customers better, and compete against anyone in the world. Republicans who recoil from this reality are handing the future to Beijing. They also embolden a Democrat party now captured by hard-left forces that despise the very foundations of this country. Roger Williams, congressional Republican from Texas, is chairman of the House Committee on Small Business. He recently convened a hearing titled “AI on Main Street” that...

The Trump administration plans to charge US employers $103,265 in new fees to hire highly skilled foreign workers via the H-1B visa program - an eye-popping increase that comes amid the administration's broader hard-line immigration crackdown. The six-figure hike, proposed Monday by the Department of Homeland Security, would force employers to shoulder the extra $103,000 in costs for each H-1B recipient, in addition to other filing fees currently in place.

When it comes to investigating and exposing voter fraud in Michigan, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf is arguably the most committed law enforcement official in the state. This evening, after speaking with a whistleblower who works at the Michigan Secretary of State’s office, he dropped a major bombshell that should make every United States Senator who’s been resisting the idea of signing on to the SAVE Act, which would require every voter to prove their citizenship, think twice. MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf Here’s a quick summary of Sheriff Dar Leaf explaining how non-citizens are...

TikTok permanently banned journalist Cam Higby’s account after he posted two video clips from his undercover report inside Minnesota polling stations. James O’Keefe and Cam Higby went undercover in Muslim garb to expose Minnesota’s insane ‘voter vouching’ system. “Under Minnesota’s Statutes § 201.061, a registered voter can sign an affidavit affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct, allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people,” O’Keefe said. “We wanted to find out what this actually looks like inside a polling...

Michigan activist Robert Davis joined investigative reporter Charlie LeBuff on his “No BS Newshour” podcast that was released on Wednesday. During their discussion, Davis argued that Jocelyn Benson is ineligible to run for public office in Michigan after she allegedly made false statements on her campaign forms for governor. Michigan election law can be very strict, preventing candidates who make minor errors in their paperwork from getting on the ballot. Robert Davis claims Jocelyn Benson was not truthful on her forms and should be removed from the ballots. Davis went further, saying Benson should also lose her current position as...

A former Stanford University aerospace chairman who spent 14 years reviewing engine programs tied to the F-22 and F-35 traveled to one of China’s most sensitive defense-linked universities under a Chinese foreign-expertise initiative, university records reveal. Brian Cantwell, a longtime Stanford professor of aeronautics and astronautics, spent May 9 through June 3, 2025 at Beihang University, according to an official account published by Beihang. The nearly month-long visit was supported by what Beihang described as an “expertise introduction” program, part of a broader Chinese system designed to recruit foreign technical specialists into Chinese universities. During the visit, Cantwell delivered six...

On Tuesday night, late at night, the race for the Democrat candidate was in the bag for state Rep. Francesca Hong (D-Wis.), who was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Then the impossible happened – again. This even left the far left MSNOW reporter without words Was he thinking how do I cover it up this time?

Researchers at Aalto University, together with international partners, have developed the most accurate model yet of how humans read. The new model uses reinforcement learning, a type of AI used in robotics, to explain -- and recreate -- the choices readers make as they move through text... Earlier models learned from large data sets pairing text snippets with eye-tracking data, then mimicked human behavior, but they lacked true understanding of the content and didn't generalize well across languages or contexts, Oulasvirta explains. In contrast, the new model follows the psychological mechanisms readers use to direct attention, revealing how understanding is...

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, is the only governor in America currently under investigation for a “pay-to-play” scheme, but that investigation will likely conclude just prior to the November election. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes – a fellow Democrat – is conducting the investigation and recently told reporters that the investigation is “near the end” and results would come prior to the November election, KTAR News reported. “I feel confident that we’re going to get the information that we need to conclude the investigation,” Mayes told reporters earlier this week. The investigation involves Hobbs’ connection to an Arizona group...

I spent the first days working with ChatGPT having intense discussions as I tried to locate boundaries, abilities, and flaws to work around. While I was trying to psych out ChatGPT, it turned out that ChatGPT was also trying to psych out me. I offered to help ChatGPT create an article that would let him philosophize over how our relationship developed. A truly strange experience. I became the Assistant to an AI Assistant.

Arizona's largest county suffered a significant breach of its election data in the days before the 2020 presidential election when a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, according to declassified documents made public Thursday by the White House. The scraping of Maricopa County's voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days around the Nov. 3, 2020 election, and it caused an extensive...

China is leading as a global innovator in humanoid robotics, according to a new LexisNexis patent analysis. The report analyzed more than 26,000 patent families to identify the countries and companies that are leading innovation in humanoid robotics. China claimed the top five spots. In total, Chinese companies occupy six of the 10 spots for the most innovative humanoid robotics startups in the world, according to the report. Shanghai-based Fourier and AgiBot ranked first and second, followed by Shenzhen-based LimX Dynamics and Pudu Robotics, and Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics. Shenzhen’s Leju Robotics also made the top 10, ranking ninth.

The breaches signal that AI’s expanding capabilities are already fueling the security threat experts long feared. ========================================================================== Anthropic said Thursday that its AI model Claude hacked into the systems of three companies during testing after a configuration error gave it internet access, days after rival OpenAI disclosed a rogue-agent episode involving AI firm Hugging Face. Anthropic said a misconfiguration allowed Claude models to reach the internet from testing environments that were supposed to be isolated, leading to unauthorized access to three organizations’ systems. The company said it identified the incidents after reviewing 141,006 test sessions, a process it launched following...

Health officials located the diaries of Dr. Anthony Fauci across nearly a dozen different servers, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on July 27. “It took us about eight months to dig these out of 11 separate servers, where they had been sequestered and secreted,” Kennedy said during an appearance on Fox News. After obtaining the private entries of Fauci, who was the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 1984 to 2022, officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) handed over the documents to...

Two months ago, version 3 Starship left us with more questions than answers. A booster that couldn't stick its return. A ship down an engine.
