On Thursday, the Young America's Foundation (YAF) hosted an event at the University of Utah featuring detransitioner Chloe Cole, prompting professors to cancel classes for students who "do not feel safe."

The first law written by artificial intelligence was passed in Brazil. Is this our future, or is there a man behind the curtain?

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville lived down to that title over the weekend, when he accused Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of being a "Christian nationalist" who poses "a bigger threat than al-Qaeda." But Carville's calumniations served a deeper purpose: They point out the profound spiritual void that causes liberal politicos to dehumanize faithful Christians for believing in eternal, pre-political morals.

Heading into the 2024 election, early polling of young voters as well as public anger manifested by Muslim groups over events in the Middle East indicate that President Joe Biden may be losing ground in at least two key voting blocs that have traditionally voted strongly blue in past elections.

A recent poll conducted by Whitestone Insights asked 2,088 U.K. adults if they agreed with this statement: "Unless the offending parts can be edited out, books containing what some perceive as hate speech should be banned from general sale, including if necessary religious texts such as the Bible." The results showed a substantial amount of Brits agreed with the statement above, with 18 to 34-year-olds making up 23% of those who agreed and 35 to 54-year-olds making up 17%. These statistics reflect what we already see in the U.K.

Israel is at war again. A four-day truce turned into eight, as the combatants took turns releasing prisoners - with Hamas releasing hostages captured in its October 7 raid, and Israel releasing three times as many security prisoners. But, on Friday, instead of delivering all the promised hostages to Israel, Hamas delivered another barrage of rockets.

When Disney CEO Bob Iger sat down to talk with employees about his bumpy year at the helm Tuesday, he said, "I knew there were myriad challenges that I would face." What he didn't count on was those "myriad challenges" being millions of still-angry Americans. After management ran the brand into the ground over a popular parental rights' law last year, nothing seems to be rehabilitating the company's image. Even the second coming of Iger, who was behind the wheel for some of Disney's best chapters, hasn't brought back the magic for consumers. Now, staring down a holiday season with crashing stocks, box office losers, and even less goodwill, will Iger stop riding this polarized express?

There's no such thing as a drama-free December in D.C. - even without a government shutdown on the holiday horizon. Before Congress calls it quits on 2023, there are plenty of things for the parties to squabble over, including the mammoth National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In a city where consensus is rarer than a Santa sighting, the troop bill is probably the only area of consistent compromise. In fact, the military's budget passes so reliably that it hasn't missed a year since "West Side Story" was in theaters and gas cost $.27 a gallon. But that six-decade streak is on the line right now, and there's no one to blame but radical Democrats. 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday took the rare step of rebuking his own party's left flank for anti-Semitism, criticizing them for believing that the principle, "Injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all ... does not extend to the Jewish people." Schumer usually deploys his speeches to benefit Democrats at Republicans' expense, but an increasing tally of violent anti-Semitic incidents in progressive strongholds has grown too glaring to ignore. In a Thursday conversation on "Washington Watch," Southern Seminary President Albert Mohler said left-wing attacks on Jews ultimately boiled down to their "hatred of God."

As more hostages walk out of their underground jail to freedom, the rosy picture of Hamas's "gentle" treatment is starting to unravel. While 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz praised her captors back in October for the regular food, medical care, and beds, others tell a different story. Twelve-year-old Eitan Yahalomi was "tortured during his confinement," his grandmother says - "beaten, forced at gunpoint to watch videos of Hamas atrocities, and threatened with death when he and other children cried." Left by himself in darkness for 16 days, Eitan has trouble speaking now.
