Today, history is treated like wet clay--something to be molded into whatever shape best serves the political cause of the moment. Statues are toppled. Founding Fathers are recast as villains. National histories are rewritten through ideological lenses. Now, even Jesus Christ isn't off limits.
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, a remarkable new survey offers both hope and a sobering warning. On one hand, Americans still overwhelmingly love their country. They remain proud of its heritage, grateful for their freedoms, and convinced that the Constitution matters. On the other hand, millions of Americans cannot explain the very event the nation is celebrating.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's is claiming that laws preventing minors from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible gender-transition surgeries are products of "Christofascism." He grouped restrictions on pediatric gender medicine together with Texas abortion laws, arguing they all flow from the same supposedly dangerous religious ideology.
The Presbyterian Church has postponed debate over a proposal that would explicitly require its clergy to be monogamous, referring the matter to committee after the issue generated significant disagreement among delegates. Let that sink in for a moment. A church couldn't decide whether those entrusted with preaching God's Word should be expected to remain sexually faithful to one spouse.
President Xi Jinping has repeatedly declared that "reunification" with Taiwan cannot be postponed indefinitely. U.S. intelligence officials have stated that Xi has instructed the PLA to be capable of conducting an invasion of Taiwan by 2027 and they are already practicing for American intervention.
A decade ago, even if governments collected billions of data points, making sense of them required enormous human effort. Today, AI systems can rapidly analyze vast quantities of information, identify recurring patterns, uncover associations, and reconstruct what security professionals call a "pattern of life."
There are few examples in modern history that better demonstrate the power of propaganda than the dramatic shift in American opinion toward Israel. The old saying remains true: Tell a lie often enough, and people will believe it.
You can believe the Bible... just don't act like you believe it. That increasingly appears to be the government's definition of religious freedom.
If security researchers are correct, we may have just witnessed one of the most important--and unsettling--moments in the history of cybersecurity. For the first time, the hacker wasn't human.
As you walk past a police vehicle, a camera silently scans your face. Within seconds, artificial intelligence compares your image against government databases. Another camera identifies your vehicle. Your smartphone quietly confirms your location. Computers can now connect where you've been, who you've met, and perhaps one day what you've purchased.
