International Man: The war with Iran is dominating the headlines, but what most people aren’t considering is the economics of warfare and what it means in the bigger picture. When a $35,000 Iranian drone can force the US or Israel to fire interceptors costing millions, what does that say about the economics of modern war, and who really benefits in a conflict defined by that kind of asymmetry? Doug Casey: War has always been about economics. That’s even truer today because of the huge discrepancy between what the First World can afford and what the Third World can. I believe Iran is…
A gathering of international leftist politicians and activists are arriving in Cuba this week as part of “Nuestra America Convoy,” a gathering in solidarity with the communist Castro regime. On its website, the leftist organization accuses the administration of President Donald Trump of “strangling” Cuba and claims that the consequences of said “strangling” are “lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick,” obviating that the communist Castro regime plunged Cuba into a state of abject misery and poverty through 67 years of continued disastrous communist policies. The group also omits that the regime brutally represses dissidents who peacefully demand an…
Friday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) was an idiot because of her tax policy. At a POLITICO event last week, Hochul said, “I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state right now. There are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Okay, cut me the checks. I mean, just if you want to be supportive. But maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see what you can bring back home. Because…
The popularity of “AI companions” is exploding as people turn to artificial intelligence to serve as their friend or even life partner. But as Wynton Hall’s new book CODE RED documents, the research on the psychological impact of AI companions is alarming — far from filling an emotional gap in the lives of humans, these “companions” are making people lonelier. Breitbart News social media director and author Wynton Hall reveals in his new book, Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI, that AI companions are part of “a growing digital trend that upends traditional notions of courtship, dating,…
Sony Pictures and Chinese regime-linked corporation Pop Mart on Thursday announced that they are in the early states of co-developing a film based on the based Labubu blind-box plush toy, which China has used to improve its global image. Labubus are a series of collectible dolls sold by Beijing-based Pop Mart, a company that has actively assisted the Chinese regime in spreading its propaganda and whose chairman, Wang Ning, is reportedly a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — specifically, under the People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a CCP political advisory body. Like other products sold by the company, Pop Mart sells…
A marketing expert revealed on Friday that the ChatGPT platform displayed safety warnings for links to Republican fundraising websites while not showing similar alerts for Democratic fundraising sites. OpenAI blamed the bias of its AI system, the subject of the first chapter of the new book CODE RED, on a “technical glitch.” The New York Post reports that OpenAI announced Friday that a “technical error” caused its ChatGPT platform to display safety warnings for links to Republican Party websites while not showing similar alerts for Democratic fundraising sites. The issue came to light when users discovered that links to WinRed, the official Republican…
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” CNN Contributor Paul Begala said that Republicans and Democrats have “a terrible rift over Israel and antisemitism,” “And I tell all my liberal friends, who had a bigger pride parade, Tel Aviv or Tehran, right? Who has a free press? Who has elections?” Host Bill Maher said, “If you had to live somewhere in the Middle East, you’d live in Tel Aviv. You probably wouldn’t live in any other city, and I don’t think your wife would like to.” Begala responded, “Well, this is something that my party has to address, too. [The…
Two Ukrainians have been jailed for running a “VIP service” people smuggling operation transporting illegal migrants from France to Britain in a yacht. The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), the rough British equivalent of the American FBI, arrested Ukrainian nationals Vladyslav Cherniavskyi, 37, and Oleksandr Yavtushenko, 43, last July during an operation confronting the illegal migrant crisis in the English Channel. After tracking the Uforia yacht from the port of Le Havre to British waters off the coast of the Isle of White, the boat was intercepted and brought to the Haslar Marina in Gosport, Hampshire by specialist Border Security Command maritime officers.…
On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said that he can support funding everything in DHS but ICE, but what would happen next is Republicans will pass a bill through reconciliation to fund ICE without Democratic votes. During a joint appearance with Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT), Kennedy said, “Peter’s raised a really interesting point, and I would agree with him, up to a point. Let’s open up everything but ICE, okay? Let’s open it up.” He added, “But I can tell you what’s going to happen next: The Republicans are going to put a reconciliation bill on…
North Korea’s state propaganda vehicles, including the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) and state television, published images on Friday of Kim Ju-ae, the tween daughter of communist dictator Kim Jong-un, appearing to drive a military tank. The images were part of a larger report on Kim Jong-un attending an “offensive tactical drill” to test the ability of an allegedly new line of tanks to resist drone and missile attacks. Military experts told South Korean media that the development of these new models could be the application of experience that the North Korean military is acquiring from its role in aiding the…
