I am reviewing the eight articles on the impeachment of Sec. Pete Hegseth. In my view, six of the eight articles should be nonstarters, including the Iranian articles. Presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have asserted the authority to commence such operations...

There are plenty of use cases where AI agents are incredibly useful, and can save time and money. Almost none of them are customer-facing. That's the part companies are missing.

BREAKING: Reindustrialization goes nuclear. America approves its first advanced nuclear facility at an industrial site, a major Dow chemical manufacturing plant in Texas. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved a construction permit for four X-energy Xe-100 reactors, designed to supply both electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow’s chemical manufacturing operations. Chemical production is traditionally a very energy-intensive process, requiring large amounts of electricity and heat. This marks the first U.S. construction permit for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nearly 60 years.

A reminder that the power to do good is also the power to do harm, and that it is often much easier to do harm than good.
“Giving leaders enough power to create ‘social justice’ is giving them enough power to destroy all justice, all freedom, and all human dignity.” — Thomas Sowell

Just so we're clear on what “apartheid” looks like in Israel: Arab lawmakers are elected to the Knesset, take their seats in parliament, and then walk out during the national anthem to protest the very state they've been elected to serve.
🛑Members of the Arab Joint List walked out of the Knesset chamber during the singing of “Hatikvah,” Israel’s national anthem, at the swearing-in ceremony of Israel’s 26th Knesset.

Democrats are wasting “no time throwing themselves into investigations of American corporations, dispatching letters telling companies they are targets and setting their deadline to produce records for Jan. 4, the first full day of the new Congress. Some of America’s largest businesses—from Amazon to Apple, Live Nation to Walmart —are among the first to feel the heat.” wsj.com/business/democrats-a…

Did some poll indicate voters who voted for Prop 42 and against Prop 40 were actually asking about government waste?
California voters rejecting Proposition 40, an unconstitutional wealth tax, has consequences far beyond this election. They also passed Proposition 42, an amendment to the state constitution restricting future taxes on personal and financial assets that creates a constitutional obstacle to trying again. That will make future wealth taxes much harder to enact. That sends a message to Democrat socialists in Washington and in other states considering similar proposals. California voters just changed the rules of the game for taxing assets — and did so in a state dominated by Democrats. Voters also asking why aren’t the Democrats talking about cutting the literally trillions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse in governments nationwide, including out of DC, before grabbing assets via an unlawful tax. @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness @FoxNews @foxnewsalert @x @WSJ @nytimes @AP @Reuters @ReutersBiz @business #BreakingNews #BREAKING #news @DNC @RoKhanna @SenWarren @BernieSanders

Actually, we've tried that a few times. They were offered a state of their own in 1948 and decided to try to kill us instead. We gave it a go in the 90s and they tried to kill us instead. We handed all of Gaza over to them unconditionally 20 years ago and what to do you know, they tried to kill us instead. So, yup, we've given it a shot. They seem uninterested.

Rubio on Iran: "We're not going to pay! Iran is demanding reparations? They should be the ones paying reparations! Because they are the ones that have destabilized the region for long periods of time. They're demanding pallets of cash which the president's made clear is not going to happen."

🚨PM Netanyahu Warns: International Pressure to Accept a Nuclear Iran Is Coming Speaking before the Knesset, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning: “In the near future, we will face international pressure to accept a nuclear Iran.” The statement signals Netanyahu's concern that diplomatic efforts could eventually push Israel toward accepting an agreement that leaves Iran with nuclear capabilities.

Every path laid out requires Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Michigan Legislature rejected it during the 2023-2024 session with Democrats in control of both chambers. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Democrats have held the House since 2022, yet not a single National Popular Vote bill has made it out of committee.
There are several ways we can reach the threshold to bring the National Popular Vote Compact into effect by the 2028 election. #FixTheElectoralCollege

Exactly. It's not a choice between markets and angels, but between markets and some guy who thinks he's smarter than you to run your life.

Did you know Medina, the city Mohammed conquered and established the first sovereign Muslim community, got its name from a Hebrew word meaning, "the city?" Medina (think State of Israel - "Medinat Yisrael") had a large Jewish population that had built its wells, fortresses, and date plantations centuries before Mohammed's arrival. Mohammed had hoped the Jews there would accept his new faith. When they refused, the answer was a combination of mass murder, expulsion, and looting. Centuries-old Jewish communities in Arabia were wiped from existence. After Mohammed, the Covenant of Omar was established, which reduced Jews to dhimmi status everywhere Muslims conquered: to name a few, special taxes were levied, restricted dress enforced, and yellow patches or belt were used to mark Jews subordinate. The yellow badge marking Jews began in the Islamic world, centuries before the Nazis. The idea of "coexistence" of Jews under Islamic rule was entirely predicated on the Jew knowing his or her place as subordinate to Muslims.

Polish prosecutors say there is no evidence at this point that the deceased gunman, who killed nine and injured many, was motivated by "far-right" beliefs. The official statement contradicts the super-viral comments by the liberal minister, who quickly said the gunman was an "ultra nationalist inspired by far-right ideology." The claim was repeated in headlines worldwide. humanevents.com/news/polish-…
