The latest (dumb) idea floating around to protect actors from AI is something called the Tilly Tax, or a tax that tries to remove the incentive of choosing an AI-generated actor over a human actor. Over at Forbes, Dr. Lance B. Eliot, an AI scientist, has written a truly superb article that looks at this tax scheme from all angles. Unlike most of the analysis you see about AI vs. Hollywood, Eliot’s write-up is informed, comprehensive, and loaded with the kind of context the entertainment media are afraid to highlight. AI actors replacing human actors is becoming a real thing…

According to a source within CBP, Border Patrol records show the running average for known got-aways nationwide remains 97 percent below record peaks set in 2023. Once reaching an average of more than 2,000 per day high in 2023, totals show less than 50 known got-aways are being recorded nationwide on most days. The report shows only 640 got-aways were recorded during a 14-day period in April. According to the source, the agency is conducting special operations in several southwest border sectors to achieve further reductions. As reported by Breitbart Texas, a similar Border Patrol report revealed that within just…

Saturday night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, which marks the third targeting of President Donald Trump in the last two years, comes after years of mainstream and vitriolic anti-Trump rhetoric from celebrities, pundits, and Democrat officials. During a White House press briefing on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that eleven years of Trump demonization from the left, commentators, and some in the media fostered a climate that today’s political violence stems from. Reinforcing Leavitt’s point that political violence is widely acceptable among the left, an April 2025 Rutgers and Network Contagion Research Institute report…

Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he supported delaying House elections in his home state of Louisiana after the Supreme Court invalidated the state’s congressional map Wednesday. “The governor has no choice but to suspend it,” Johnson told reporters. “The court has ruled our map unconstitutional.” He spoke as GOP Gov. Jeff Landry announced that Louisiana could not carry out elections under the current map and would be working “to develop a path forward.” Any new map is likely to threaten the seats of Democratic Reps. Troy Carter and Cleo Fields, who are both Black. The Supreme Court ruling narrowed the…

Pete Hegseth has dismissed US lawmakers’ “quagmire” talk, even as data shows broad opposition to the conflict US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has stated that Americans support the US operation against Iran, a claim that stands at odds with multiple national surveys showing most adults in the nation oppose the conflict.The war, which began with a US-Israeli bombing campaign in February and was initially expected to last several weeks, has dragged on at a cost of $25 billion, leaving more than 1,300 civilians dead and triggering a global energy crunch after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with…

While many are undergoing a mass awakening of class politics, opposition to the coercive control of statism must remain the central focus of any successful revolution. In recent days conversations about working class struggles and the state of the economy, particularly in regard to the affordability crisis, have been occurring with increasing regularity. This has largely been spurred by the viral reporting of a warehouse fire in Ontario, California in which an employee, identified as 29 year old Chamel Abdulkarim, filmed himself lighting pallets of toilet paper on fire, stating “if you’re not going to pay us enough to live at least pay us…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) said that “the insatiable desire for more power is going to require everything.” And “I know the president doesn’t have much affection for wind, either offshore or onshore. Personally, we have wind in West Virginia. If it’s sited properly and can generate the kind of power that we need, I think we should be looking at everything, absolutely.” Co-host Joe Mathieu asked, “[W]e’ve seen kind of a push and pull when it comes to alternative energy. Gas and oil prices start to go up, fossil fuels are…

Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) raged over White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointing to the radical left’s violent rhetoric following yet another failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. Speaking after the failed attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner over the weekend, Leavitt told reporters on Monday that we “should not live in a country where such constant fear of political violence permeates our society.” Disagreements, she said, should remain peaceful, and can be resolved through debate, voting, or protests rather than violence. However, some Democrats have only continued to up their rhetoric against…

Speaker Mike Johnson may have squeezed out a pair of legislative wins Wednesday, but his headaches are far from over as the legislative deals made now face snarls in the Senate. After a chaotic, all-day vote series on the House floor, lawmakers approved a budget framework setting up a path to fund immigration enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for more than two months. They also passed a three-year extension of government spy powers known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Here’s where those measures now stand, as well as the…
