President Donald Trump said this week that China has agreed not to provide weapons to Iran, even as reports have suggested Beijing was considering sending new air defense systems to Tehran.

I am doing it for them, also — And the World,” Trump wrote. “This situation will never happen again. They…

In his constant stretch of monologues, on Tuesday night, MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell made more Hitler comparisons about President Trump and Iran. He latched onto the comments from a U.K. Parliament member who called Trump a “gangster” as similar to Winston Churchill’s comments about Hitler, where Churchill called the dictator a “monster of wickedness” amid World War II. His comments continued a trend of O’Donnell’s Hitler comparisons, even as just last week he suggested Hitler wasn’t as bad as Trump because he didn’t threaten to kill a whole civilization. Did he miss something? O’Donnell spent a large portion of his monologue on the “international…

This is absolutely nuts. Christopher Rufo did some investigation in San Francisco after getting a tip from someone he calls a whistleblower. What he found was that SF homeless shelters were open to illegal aliens, which really isn’t a surprise. California is a sanctuary state and does not cooperate with ICE on anything. So of course they aren’t checking the immigration status of homeless people in shelters. Advertisement Regular readers may also remember that last year Gov. Newsom signed a law which made all illegal aliens eligible for Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid. And apparently that means some of…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech CEOs have eagerly grabbed onto AI as a tool to make offices more efficient, and often to reduce headcount via brutal layoffs. There’s a problem, though: the workers who remain often say they now have to fix a flood of error-ridden AI-generated “workslop” that’s burdening them, paradoxically, with more work than ever. All this pointless busywork to correct AI-generated output results in hidden costs for companies that embrace the tech, according to The Guardian. One recent survey of 1,150 desk jockeys found that…
