Palantir Co-Founder Warns AI Fear Could Give Government and Big Tech More Power

By Tyler Stone | Real Clear Politics WILL CAIN: Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale joins me now. Joe, good to see you. Thanks for being with us here today. Are the woke wizards somebody we can count on to save us from AI doomsday? JOE LONSDALE, PALANTIR CO-FOUNDER: Man, the woke ones are the worst, but you got Steve Bannon appearing with Bernie at that same conference. I call it the BBC. It's Bannon, Bernie, and the CCP. It's crazy guys on both sides. And you got Josh Hawley proposing regulation here. This is a really interesting time, Will, because you have dozens of NGOs that are trying to astroturf this AI panic. We had lots of people call me and my friends this weekend. There's a panic going on because they're trying to scare people, because they want people scared, ...

Supreme Court Blocks Postal Service Changes for Mail-In Ballots

By Misty Severi | Just the News The majority of justices merely determined that the administration's position was unlikely to succeed. The Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump's mail-in voting order on Monday, allowing a lower court's ruling to remain in effect. The ruling, which marked a major blow to the Trump administration, blocked proposed changes to the United States Postal Service that would require states to submit mail-in voter lists to the service. The service would then refuse delivery of ballots to recipients not on the list. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT JUST THE NEWS

Vandals Target Charlie Kirk Statue Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters

By Zoe Hussain | New York Post A brand-new statue of slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk was vandalized in Arizona — just days after it was unveiled for the one-year anniversary of his death. The 8-foot statue of Kirk at Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters, as well as a nearby poster memorial in front of the statue, was defaced with red paint overnight Sunday, AZ Family reported. Cops responded to calls about the defaced memorial just after 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement to The Post. The statue was installed on Thursday to mark a year since the 31-year-old TPUSA co-founder was gunned down at an open-mic event at Utah Valley University. Photos from AZ Family showed the red paint smeared over the statu...

Trump Pledges $5,000 Dividend to Adult Americans if GOP Holds Congress

By Joe Walsh | CBS News President Trump vowed Wednesday to send a $5,000 "dividend" to every American citizen after the midterms, but only if Republicans hold onto control of the House and Senate. The announcement came almost an hour into Mr. Trump's speech to the Republican National Committee's first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas, as he seeks to rally Republican voters and fight significant political headwinds in the November elections. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. The president did not offer details on how the payments — which he dubbed "Trump Dividends" — would work, including whether he plans to ask Congress to authorize the checks. He has floated the idea of cutting checks to U.S. citizens in th...

All Seven Charges Move Forward In Charlie Kirk Assassination Case

By Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire Tyler Robinson's attorneys entered not guilty pleas on his behalf to all charges. A Utah Judge ruled Tuesday that Tyler Robinson will stand trial on all seven charges in the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, leaving him eligible for the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder. After hearing hours of closing arguments from the defense and prosecution, Fourth District Judge Tony Graf found that the state had established probable cause, meaning there was sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial. Robinson, 23, faces one count of aggravated murder, one count of felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of tampering with a wit...

Why the AI Data Center Debate Is About More Than Energy and Water

By Taylor Budowich | Commentary, Fox News A report found 61% of small-business owners using artificial intelligence to boost their operations. Everywhere you look, people are talking about artificial intelligence (AI). It’s on your TV. It’s on your radio. It’s on your social media feed. And it seems like Democrats and their media allies are doing their very best to scare you away from it by telling you that AI is going to destroy the environment, take your job and hike up your utility bills. But anytime Democrats and liberal journalists are in lockstep on an issue, that should set off your alarm bells – why do they want you to be scared? The reason is that left-wingers want to seize control of AI for their own political purposes. But don’t take my word for it...

Why Millions of Men Are Checking Out of Work and Family Life

By Post Editorial Board | Commentary,.New York Post For only the third time in US history, more women are working than men — and this profoundly abnormal state of affairs could become the new normal if we doesn’t face this slow-moving social disaster. Crucially, the other two times were both this century — after the 2008 financial meltdown and the 2020 lockdowns, and now it’s happening without any obvious crisis to explain it. By far the most likely explanation: We’ve all but lost most clear paths toward responsible manhood. The economy’s long shift from industrial to service-sector employment is one key reason men have increasingly dropped out of the workforce entirely starting in the mid-1960s. Meanwhile, we’ve let soc...

Prescription Drug Prices Post Sharpest Decline in More Than 60 Years

By Steve Thompson, Federica Cocco and Christopher Rowland | The Washington Post While overall medical costs continued to rise, prescription drug prices fell by 3.1 percent in the year ending in July, the steepest annual decline since 1963. Prescription drug prices recorded the biggest year-over-year drop in more than 60 years in July, a startling reduction experts chalked up to an array of factors, including more generics and discount GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. While overall costs for medical services continued to rise, prices for medicinal drugs fell 2.7 percent over the 12 months ending in July, the largest annual drop on record, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Wednesday. Prescription drugs, part of the medicinal drug category, fell by 3.1 perce...

New Analysis Ties Net Zero Policies To Higher Household Energy Costs

By Kevin Killough | Just the News “Blue States, High Rates” study analyzes climate and net-zero policies in each state and shows that the common factor when it comes to high electricity rates is whether a state has these policies in place. And those are primarily blue states. Polls consistently show that affordability is a top concern for voters, and that includes the cost of their utility bills. An Ipsos poll released in May showed that 79% of respondents would support a political candidate who promises to lower their utility bill. The poll also found that 58% of American bill payers don’t understand what drives their utility costs. Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research have been attempting to analyze the relationsh...
