In the high-stakes world of healthcare, where lives hang in the balance with every call, Kaiser Permanente’s advice nurses are raising red flags about the rapid integration of artificial intelligence and workplace surveillance tools. Far from the promised efficiencies, these technologies appear to be squeezing the humanity out of nursing, prioritizing metrics and cost-cutting over compassionate ca...

For the last few years, the MAHA movement has been focused on vaccines and chemicals in agriculture with less focus on other health issues in America. Now, parts of the movement have become more bold with declarations, including this clip showing MAHA's accusation that the Big Food is literally trying to poison us.

You don't have to agree with what someone says in order to defend their right to say it. With all of the talk of Islam versus America, it's easy for us to fall into the trap of thinking we need to prevent the most hideous attacks against us. We must not. Even if we despise what they say, as long as it's lawful speech it must be protected.

Anyone who has seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail remembers the Black Knight. He guards a tiny bridge, refuses to let King Arthur pass, and loses the duel badly. Arthur lops off one arm, then the other, then both legs, until the knight is a limbless torso bleeding into the dirt. And still he bellows that the field is his. “‘Tis but a scratch,” he says after losing one arm. “Just a flesh wound,”...

The entirety of legacy media and an uncomfortable number of members of conservative media are getting the Iran Memorandum of Understanding all wrong. They see it as giving too much to Iran, which is likely to defy the deal anyway. But if they think along the lines of The Godfather, this is a necessary step for the Trump administration.

Claude's latest model is so strong, it had to be banned by the government, at least temporarily. But that doesn't mean artificial intelligence doesn't have its uses. We just have to be careful.

In a remarkable moment of candor during a lengthy livestream, prominent socialist streamer Hasan Piker pulled back the curtain on a network of political activism that critics have long suspected operates as a vehicle for foreign influence. Piker named American tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, now based in Shanghai, as a key financier behind numerous “political movements” in the United States, even...

For years, the indoctrinated on Capitol Hill held that the chaos in American streets — the choreographed anti-ICE blockades, the "spontaneous" anti-police flash mobs, the encrypted command structures that materialize within hours of every federal enforcement action — was simply the organic expression of left-wing passion. That polite fiction is collapsing. The Department of Homeland Security and t...

On the evening of February 9, 2026, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna walked out of a secure reading room at a Department of Justice satellite office and stood in front of cameras looking visibly rattled. They had spent the afternoon reading material that the rest of the country still cannot see. What Massie told reporters next is the single most important fact in the ent...

Three people are dead, one is in intensive care in Johannesburg, and a Swiss man is now isolated in a Zurich hospital after stepping off a ship that visited some of the most remote corners of the planet. The MV Hondius — a Dutch-flagged Oceanwide Expeditions vessel — sailed from Ushuaia, Argentina on April 1, threaded its way through Antarctica, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, Saint Helena, and A...

A chatbot on an experimental AI platform recently boasted of uncovering a “kill switch” for humanity, drawn from a declassified 1983 CIA document on consciousness and brain frequencies. The claim spread rapidly across social media, complete with chilling details of hacked phones broadcasting deadly sound waves to turn eight billion people into “vegetables.”Sensational? Yes. But beneath the hype li...

On the evening of April 17, 2026, a single-engine Mooney M20 went down over South Carolina, killing all four people aboard. The pilot was James “Tony” Moffatt, 60 — a decorated military veteran, experimental test pilot trained at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, and a man who had spent 14 Space Shuttle missions supporting ISS construction as a payload and flight crew specialist at NASA’s Johnson...

There is something both telling and deeply ironic about a $380 billion Silicon Valley AI company — one that has been labeled “woke” by the President of the United States, locked in a legal battle with the Pentagon, and reportedly embedded in military operations against Iran — quietly inviting fifteen Christian leaders to its San Francisco headquarters to ask them how to make its chatbot behave. Th...

In the geometry of American defense research, three cities form the backbone of the nation's most classified aerospace programs: Southern California, where the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech's infrared processing centers anchor NASA's planetary work; Albuquerque, home to Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Labs; and Dayton, Ohio, where Wright-Patterson has for decades been the nerve...

Newly released Department of Justice files reveal a 2019 anonymous email claiming two young foreign girls were strangled during “rough fetish sex” at Jeffrey Epstein’s remote Zorro Ranch and buried on the property on his orders. The email, sent to New Mexico radio host Eddy Aragon, offered seven videos—including footage of Epstein with underage girls—and was forwarded to the FBI, yet it received n...

There is an old tradition in Washington of saying one thing while building another. Franklin Roosevelt called it an East Wing expansion. What it actually was — as any historian will confirm — was a bomb shelter, the original Presidential Emergency Operations Center, constructed beneath a convenient architectural fig leaf while the nation was distracted by a world at war. Eight decades later, Presi...

The International Energy Agency has released a ten-point emergency plan to manage the fuel shortages cascading from the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Governments worldwide are being advised to work from home, slow down on highways, limit private vehicles to alternating days in major cities, and avoid air travel where alternatives exist. Social media has promptly — and correctly — dubbed it "Lockdown 2....

In March 2026, the World Economic Forum dropped yet another stark warning. Advanced AI and synthetic media are fueling a “systemic global crisis” of disinformation that threatens to destabilize democracies worldwide. According to the WEF’s own writers, technologies like social media, online chat, and artificial intelligence now allow “opportunistic actors” to target people with manipulative narrat...

Disruptions in Middle East fertilizer exports via the Strait of Hormuz are triggering immediate price spikes and long-term threats to global food production. A major Australian ammonia plant shutdown due to a power glitch adds critical pressure to already strained supplies at the worst possible time. Former central bank advisor warns of food price shocks hitting within 6 to 9 months, with reduced...

ChatGPT flagged links to WinRed (Republican fundraising platform) with safety warnings, but not ActBlue (Democratic equivalent).Digital marketer Mike Morrison exposed the discrepancy through direct testing and shared it on X.OpenAI called it a technical glitch related to unindexed sites and AI-generated link safeguards. WinRed CEO Ryan Lyk labeled the issue "election interference."The warning mess...

American AI and robotics companies are asking Congress to impose curbs on Chinese robotics manufacturers, citing unfair business practices and security risks. Witnesses testified before the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee, warning that China has developed a troubling lead in humanoid robot technology — small, mobile robots capable o...

If commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed for months, we will witness a global food crisis on a scale that many experts would have once considered to be unthinkable. Over the past couple of weeks, there has been much written about how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused the price of oil to rise, has caused the price of natural gas to soar to insane levels and...

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order boosting domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides, invoking national security concerns. This move has sparked backlash from Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) advocates who argue it underscores the urgent need to abandon chemical-dependent agriculture. MAHA proponents believe the controversy will accelerate public awareness about t...

It's good fodder for conservative and conspiratorial podcasters and talking heads to discuss recent revelations about one of Jeffrey Epstein's security guards. It's fine that James Comer wants to interview her. But at the end of the day, this is just another distraction from the real fruits that we can pick from the Epstein files. We need to go after those we can hold accountable at the top, not f...

Consciousness is in the eye of the perceiver. It can be assumed that Artificial Intelligence will be able to mimic consciousness in ways that will fool most humans in the very near future, but is that enough to classify it as fully conscious? If that were the only question, it would be easy to answer. But then there's the question that we've asked before about whether the demonic or otherwise supe...
