Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly set to announce his candidacy for president next week. He’s currently trailing Donald Trump by 36.1 percent in RealClearPolitics polling averages, and his setbacks and challenges have been widely discussed. But beyond questions about his heavy-handed policy or supposedly chilly demeanor, he faces a more peculiar problem: The man hasn’t even announced yet and Americans may already be a little sick of him. He’s heading into his campaign announcement overexposed. A candidate can only enter a race once, so he should do it on his own terms. But whatever the date of DeSantis’s official announcement, that…

Friend, the Marxist Left is on a mission to tear down the United States Supreme Court.  Senate Democrats are calling to expand and pack the Court with radical justices.  Merrick Garland refuses to lock up the left-wing mobs harassing Justices and their families at their homes… even after one of those lunatics tried to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh.  And their liberal media allies are running one hit piece after another attacking Justice Clarence Thomas. This is all about one thing: power. The Supreme Court is the one institution liberals don’t control.   

Jake Sullivan reaffirmed the US has not placed limitations on Ukraine's use of American weapons on Crimea Russia’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, warned Sunday that Russia would consider a US-backed Ukrainian strike on Crimea as serious as an attack on the Russian mainland. Antonov’s comments came in response to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan saying the US wouldn’t stop Ukraine from using American-provided weapons on Crimea, a statement that came after President Biden signed off on European countries delivering F-16s to Kyiv. Sullivan told CNN that “Crimea is Ukraine” despite the peninsula being under Russian control since 2014. “We have not placed limitations on Ukraine…

The acquisition by a growing number of countries of sophisticated advanced weapons systems follows a trend whereby the potency of specific ACW systems is compounded by integrating emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning or robotics. Whereas the hardware – the equipment, materials, and components – for these systems can be manufactured indigenously or imported, access to and acquisition of ACW-related emerging technologies is a more daunting challenge. To mitigate the ACW proliferation…

 That’s what the software concluded about a student’s paper. One of the professors in the academic program I direct had come across this finding and asked me what to do with it. Then another one saw the same result—100 percent AI—for a different paper by that student, and also wondered: What does this mean? I did not know. I still don’t. The problem breaks down into more problems: whether it’s possible to know for certain that a student used AI, what it even means to “use” AI for writing papers, and when that use amounts to cheating. The software that had flagged…
