A white supremacist flyer that went viral on social media has prompted a response from York officials. The flyer was found on poles in the York area and posted to Facebook. It was posted as a response to a brawl near York College’s campus on Sept. 12. “We are calling on all white men in Pennsylvania to stand up and defend our communities against black violence,” the flyer read in part, saying it was a warning to those who participated in the reported assault. “We will find you, and when we do you will pay a heavy price ...” The...

President alleges that a conspiracy is undermining support for AI and data centers as industry leaders raise alarms about the technology’s risksPresident Trump pushed back on the need for tighter federal regulations on artificial intelligence and dismissed safety concerns as a hoax that would leave the industry in financial ruin and hand China a competitive edge. The president’s forceful messaging on AI comes as industry leaders sound increasingly urgent warnings about the need for regulation to guard against potential dangers from their own technology, while public backlash builds to the construction of the data centers needed to power it.

“I would hate to see China win the war on AI… I have a sense that China is funding the opposition to AI [data] centers.” That was Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in a Breitbart News interview on Aug. 31 warning that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) might be funding opposition to data centers — there are more than 5,400 data centers nationwide according to Cloudscene — utilized by artificial intelligence (AI) and other internet companies to store and process large amounts of data used every day on our smart phones, computers and by large critical infrastructure including financial, educational, communications,...

The “AI Apocalypse” scare campaign looks suspiciously like the climate hoax. How convenient that it’s come to a head right as the midterm election season kicks off this week.

Was there a threat of political violence against Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton over the Labor Day weekend? Or was it much ado about nothing? Acton was speaking to Democrats in a tent in Mahoning County when a man moving toward Acton caused several senior citizens to fall down.Acton’s campaign put out a statement “praying for the recovery of those injured” and argued “This kind of violence has no place in Ohio.” What was initially hyped as a serious threat by many liberal sources was later downgraded to just a man "moving forward." The local district attorney has downgraded...

Multiple people are injured after an armed man lunged at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton at a campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown. “While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” Acton’s campaign said. “Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another,” Acton’s campaign said in a...

Drive from Buffalo into Genesee County and you will pass fields that have grown corn and soybeans for generations. Soon, thousands of those acres will be covered by steel and glass. New York state is forcing industrial-scale solar plants onto rural communities that never asked for them, and the people who live there are discovering just how little their voice counts when a governor decides differently. The Mandate Behind The Mess.. New York is tearing up rural communities, wiping out wildlife sanctuaries, and burying prime agricultural soil under solar installation in the name of green energy. The root of this...

Grok AI Analyzed the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film — The Results Are Shocking For nearly six decades, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film has resisted every attempt to explain it away. Now Grok AI has analyzed the legendary 1967 footage using movement, proportion, terrain, and mask-boundary tests. What the system found challenges the classic man-in-a-suit theory in ways that are difficult to ignore. And one frame in particular may be the most unsettling clue of all.

[Catholic Caucus] Vatican Held Secret Vote on Medjugorje Apparitions: Two-Thirds Rejected it For years, the Vatican’s investigation into Medjugorje remained shrouded in secrecy. Now, the verdict of the Ruini Commission has been disclosed: A two-thirds majority of the voters rejected the supernatural character of the apparitions, so why did the Church move toward pastoral acceptance rather than a definitive judgment? This is ultimately about discernment, obedience, Tradition... and the strange new logic of the Synodal Church.The Synodal Church and Međugorje: A History of an Eloquent RelationshipLast August 6, the Italian journalist David Murgia published an exclusive report concerning the secret...

[Catholic Caucus] Doctrine of the Faith said Medjugorje was NOT Supernatural -- Francis waved it off anyway Italian journalist D. Murgia recently published results of the 2016 deliberations within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), that shed important new light on the Vatican’s handling of the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje.The International Commission on Medjugorje, chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, had been established in 2010 at the request of Pope Benedict XVI. Crucially, it was not constituted as an independent body reporting directly to the Pope, but within and under the authority of the Congregation for the Doctrine...

Bigotry on the right is apparently in such short supply that leftists feel the continued need to fake it. That appears to have been the case at San Jose State University where multiple buildings and public spaces on campus were vandalized over the past two years with graffiti that the school said contained "anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, racial and/or discriminatory slurs, as well as threats of violence against these groups and the entire campus community." The Justice Department announced on Monday that 30-year-old Ziheng "Tony" Fang, a leftist graduate student at SJSU, was arrested on a federal charge of false information and...

New York, July 2 - The city's mayor fired his deputy chief of staff Thursday after the aide had the audacity to propose that city resources focus on New York City rather than the Palestinian cause, in a move progressive activists haled as a principled stand against localism. The disgraced staffer, identified as career civil servant Rachel Katz, reportedly circulated a memo suggesting the administration tackle subway delays, migrant shelter overflows, and street crime before allocating more municipal staff time to Nakba commemorations and virtual Gaza solidarity hours. Sources say Mamdani read the document, turned pale with ideological fury, and...

Temperatures on the ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global climate crisis. Two separate services under the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program — the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service — announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures. Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, warned that the rising temperatures could mark the “beginning of a new phase.” “With ocean temperatures at these levels and El Niño on the horizon, we...

“The Social Security Administration recently gave us their annual report with a few blockbuster footnotes. We all know that Social Security as it is currently constructed will run out of money in the early 2030s. Social Security’s cost has exceeded its non-interest income since 2010. Since then, payments have been made out of the so-called trust fund. Except the trust fund does not hold cash. The money was borrowed by the rest of the federal government to cover other spending, and the government now owes it back.”

The scientists have been right about climate change all along, says former Vice President Al Gore on the 20th anniversary of the release of "An Inconvenient Truth," the Oscar-winning documentary about Gore's campaign to educate people about climate change. When asked by ABC News chief meteorologist and chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee whether the film and its predictions on global warming hold up, Gore responded, "Unfortunately, yes." "The scientists were dead right on all the important elements of it, and it really is insane that we are continuing to use the sky as an open sewer and we're trapping so...

A hoax costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and incites arson attacks against dozens of churches. This time, however, it’s not the latest headline out of Minnesota — look a little further north. In 2021, at a time when media throughout the western world were still in a state of high agitation after the killing of George Floyd, Canadian outlets picked up on a story too sensational not to be true. Hundreds of indigenous First Nations children had been buried in unmarked graves at residential schools run by the Catholic Church in British Columbia.

Almost every day now, there is another headline warning about the collapsing birth rate across the developed world, and along with it, another think piece attempting to diagnose why younger generations seem increasingly reluctant to build families. This week, new figures out of England and Wales showed that the number of babies being born has fallen to the lowest level since 1977, with couples delaying parenthood until their thirties or deciding against children altogether. The total fertility rate dropped to 1.39 children per woman, the lowest level ever recorded. The explanations offered for this phenomenon tend to revolve around economics,...
