The artificial intelligence community just waved goodbye to yet another top safety and regulation official - and he offers a unique angle in his warning to the world. David Robinson had been leading safety reports for OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. Robinson resigned in the first week of October, stating that the industry's approach to safety has been stemming from a broken culture. He penned the following words in a piece for The Atlantic, which contain more truth than perhaps he even knows: "The future depends on wisdom that Silicon Valley lacks."

So, what is Islamification? A recent documentary by former Virginia congressman Nick Freitas titled "The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West" warns viewers about the risks created by the Islamification of Western civilization.

Americans have long lamented the decline of civil debates, where two people on opposite sides of an issue talk through their disagreements in a calm and productive manner for the benefit of a third party. Such debates require a level of rhetorical skill, wit, and command of the issues that many powerful politicians do not have. So, they simply avoid them. One candidate is out to change that, and not in the way one might expect.

Proverbs 20:23 says, "The Lord detests double standards. He is not pleased by dishonest scales."  The Bible has much to say about economic honesty and the government's responsibility to uphold just standards. That's why I welcome this week's report from the office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), one of America's principal banking regulators.

The entirety of the U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus has requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) turn a blind eye when it comes to its investigation of drinking water polluted with abortion drug contaminants. In a Thursday letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin spearheaded by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the group of lawmakers claim that the investigation "is a stark departure from past EPA practice and serves to further this administration's attacks on reproductive health care," and "distracts" from the organization's "critical role protecting Americans from known chemical pollutants in our water systems."

In the wake of an explosive government report revealing that the largest banks in the U.S. disproportionately canceled banking services for dozens of conservative and Christian organizations during the Biden years, outcry is growing for increased government oversight and regulations to ensure Americans are no longer refused basic financial services for exercising First Amendment-protected religious freedom and free speech rights.

It's been one of the Democrats' greatest self-delusions of this election cycle that voters are somehow indifferent to the party's wild leftward lurch. "Let me tell you what I'm hearing," House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) said on CNN's "The Situation Room." "The American people don't care about these [socialism] labels. They don't care about a created inter-Democratic party fight. ...They want people who are going to work for them." Unfortunately for Clark, people aren't just perplexed by the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists in U.S. politics - they're sincerely disturbed. And that fear is driving them straight into the arms of an increasingly rational-sounding GOP.

A 16-year-old shooter opened fire on Thursday at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, killing four people including three children, before being killed by an armed member of the community who had pursued the assailant into the school, police said.

From 2020 to 2025, the nine largest U.S. banks deliberately discriminated against clients with political or religious views that might be deemed controversial, according to a 47-page report released Wednesday by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The report confirms that conservative and pro-marriage organizations lost banking access due to the recommendations of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Republicans dominate the executive and legislative branches of all five of the financially healthiest state governments, while, at the opposite end, Democrats exercise total control of the five states with the biggest debts, as measured by the Truth-in-Accounting (TIA) nonprofit watchdog.

U.S. authorities conducted a predawn raid on Monday on the Washington, D.C., home of Democratic US Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump who has been the target of political insults by the Republican president, as part of an ongoing investigation, the Justice Department said.
