"You are competing with a digital copy of yourself, with a machine that does not sleep, does not rest and does not get paid." Karla Ortiz, a San Francisco-based artist and illustrator, is suing artificial intelligence (AI) generator companies Midjourney and Stable Diffusion for what she views as copyright infringement. She told Fox News, "Somebody is able to mimic my work because a company let them. It feels like some sort of industrial-level identity theft."

A new study indicates that Americans are becoming less religious. Without getting into the causes of this phenomenon or critiquing the study itself, let's simply accept that we are living in an era in which Christianity is an increasingly less robust force in the lives of millions of our fellow countrymen. So, now what? Evangelicals would be gravely mistaken to wring their hands and mourn for the good old days. Secularism is upon us, and with it, not only apathy toward Christianity but, among some, overt hostility to it. How are we going to respond?

American culture has become obsessed with sexual identity confusion. This obsession has affected almost every aspect of public life, from sports (in a multitude of ways) to retail companies to beer. It has become such an obsession that a massive swath of corporate America will soon transform their branding into the symbol of this obsession for an entire month.

As the 2024 presidential primary begins to take shape, pundits of all descriptions treat their readers to theories of whether this or that candidate can hold onto the partisan base or persuade independents. Strangely, many corporations - all Democrats, apparently - are behaving in the same, partisan way. Their unbusinesslike behavior is hurting their bottom line.

When members of Congress started boarding their flights home Thursday, not one of them knew how long they'd be gone. The possibility of a shorter-than-usual Memorial Day recess looms large as negotiators desperately try to hammer out a deal on the debt ceiling before June 1. "Every hour matters," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told ABC. "That's why the White House has to become very serious about this." To the average observer, it sounds ominous. But as Americans prep for the long weekend, plenty are wondering, how does any of this affect me?

Disney just announced the cancellation of their $1 billion construction complex in Florida in response to their ongoing battle with Governor Ron DeSantis (R). The project would have included a new office compound that would relocate 2,000 jobs from California to Florida and would substantially advance the development of Orlando's Walt Disney World and the surrounding areas.

"How do you not understand that's unfair?" It's a question parents across the country are asking, as more and more of their daughters watch everything they train for vanish. For moms and dads at California's CIF-North Coast Section Meet, the outrage reverberated across the stands. They watched as Adeline Johnson, an 18-year-old senior, was eliminated from the state track and field championships - all because a biological boy decided to compete as a girl. "There's no way this should be allowed," one parent fumed. And yet, if Joe Biden has his way, it will be the future of sports for every girl in America.

Republicans and one of the nation's most prominent Democrats agree on one issue: America's open border with Mexico has created a humanitarian crisis that has stretched multiple cities' resources to the breaking point. Yet while Republicans focus on increased border security, at least one Democrat wants the Biden administration to adopt a comprehensive plan to settle illegal immigrants in every city, town, and village in the United States.

Robert Lachky was at the top of the corporate heap at Anheuser-Busch for 20 years. Like most people, he can't believe that the brand he helped bring into the modern era would commit financial suicide over a trans fad with zero American appeal. "That's insanity," he said of the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney partnership. "That's marketing incompetence." Well, if Target's latest decisions are any indication, the incompetence is contagious. And, as investors are finding out, so is the fallout.

As part of its month-long focus on adolescent health, the Biden administration is promoting a document that tells Planned Parenthood and other taxpayer-funded family planning offices how to talk to minors about sex without their parents overhearing, and how to secretly deliver birth control to adolescents without parental knowledge or consent.

The Biden administration approved tens of thousands of dollars in grants to a program that once taught watching the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) eased conservatives onto the path to become a neo-Nazi, a new report has found.
