America had a headline-grabbing milestone this summer. Unfortunately, it wasn't our America 250 celebration. Rather, it was passing the $40 trillion mark on our national debt.

$40 trillion is a number that is very difficult to get your head wrapped around. It's more than 120% of our GDP, a ratio that sounds more applicable to an emerging market in crisis than the biggest economy in the world.

While the debt in and of itself is a problem, there are two related issues that are critical.

Only two US states legally require that 9/11 be taught in public schools - and the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy.

The hijacked history of America's darkest day has created a lost generation. According to one shocking new study, two-thirds of American Middle East studies professors say college kids cannot identify who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 200,1 or why.

California could lose as many as 58,000 jobs and more than $21 billion annually if Paramount follows through on a threat to move its headquarters and operations out of the state amid a widening antitrust fight over its Warner Bros. Discovery takeover, according to a new economic analysis.

The preliminary report by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.'s Institute for Applied Economics examines the fallout if Paramount abandons California after a coalition of 12 Democratic state attorneys general, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta...

A researcher for one of the largest and most valuable artificial intelligence companies has publicly quit - while raising the alarm that the technology "could kill us all by the end of the decade."

Jacob Coxon, who has performed pre-training research at Anthropic and OpenAI for the last three years, posted on a wildly viral X thread that "neither company is acting responsibly."

"They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives," he wrote late Tuesday, with others from the company backing his terrifying warning.

OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki published an essay on the company's website Saturday warning that no AI lab has done enough on alignment and monitoring to justify continuing to scale systems at maximum speed. Meanwhile, OpenAI has just launched its most powerful AI model to date.

In the essay, Pachocki claims that voluntary slowdowns are likely to become common across the industry until shared safety standards are established. "This is a time that calls for extreme caution," he wrote. OpenAI would unilaterally hold back further scaling when needed, he said, but he argued that broader action...

As we near the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, I write in defense of freedom not as a politician seeking applause, but as a Coloradan, a mother, a grandmother, and a fierce defender of the liberties that define this nation. Fixed license plate reader cameras are quietly turning American streets into zones of constant monitoring. These systems continuously scan and record vehicle plates, logging time, location, and travel patterns. In community after community, this infrastructure has often expanded without explicit statutory authorization, clear democratic limits, or the...

President Donald Trump said he supports the automated license plate reader cameras made by Flock Safety, his clearest public stance on a surveillance technology that has drawn opposition from lawmakers in both parties.

A reporter aboard Air Force One on Sunday said many police departments credit the cameras with helping law enforcement and asked whether Trump backs the technology.

"I sort of like them because of...
