“The most important thing is to understand where we are directly implicated within the city pension fund,” he said. “A pension fund that purchases Israeli bonds, in my view, is clearly an indication of a conflict with our values, and we know that our values are actually within the framework of international law.” Mamdani did not cite which law Israel had violated (and would likely have been unable to do so). The only known violations of international law have been by Hamas, which launched the war with its terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023; and which is still…

On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) talked about sending the Guard to Chicago. Miller said, “My hope is that he comes in with the National Guard today…I think he absolutely has the authority to do it. … He’s proven he can do it by going into DC and in two weeks, tamping down the crime there in a way that nobody’s ever seen before. And so, I’m very hopeful, in fact, I don’t even think it’s that he’s thinking about coming to Chicago, I think he has promised to come to Chicago and do what he did…

Language models have been conditioned to hazard wild guesses instead of admitting ignorance, a study has found The company behind ChatGPT has addressed the persistent problem of Artificial Intelligence models’ generating plausible but false statements that it calls “hallucinations”.In a statement on Friday, OpenAI explained that models are typically encouraged to hazard a guess, however improbable, as opposed to acknowledging that they cannot answer a question.The issue is attributable to the core principles underlying “standard training and evaluation procedures,” the company added.OpenAI has revealed that the instances where language models “confidently generate an answer that isn’t true” have continued to…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Every time you think CNN can’t drop any lower, somehow, they manage to do it. In the case of the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, CNN’s Brian Stelter seems to think that the real tragedy in this situation is racism, specifically, the racism of Trump supporters for noticing this crime. This is a new low for him, which is really saying something. Transcript via Real Clear Politics: BRIAN STELTER, CNN MEDIA ANALYST: Most murders in the U.S. never become national news. This one’s garnered attention for a couple of reasons. Number one, first and…

Paris politics has once again descended into chaos, as the government of Prime Minister François Bayrou collapsed on Monday after the National Assembly overwhelmingly voted against a confidence measure brought forward by the embattled PM in a last-ditch effort to pass through a national budget. The deadlock over the budget came in large part as a result of President Macron’s Machiavellian move during last summer’s legislative elections to form a pact between his centrist coalition and the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) in the second round of voting after Marine Le Pen’s National Rally looked to be on the cusp of taking…

The Lifestyle Bloc and the Diversified Cohort Isaiah Berlin’s famous essay divided thinkers into two types: hedgehogs, who know one big thing, and foxes, who know many things. If you want proof that the metaphor extends beyond the ivory tower, consider the latest NBC News Decision Desk poll of Generation Z. On one side are the hedgehogs—Harris voters who form a Lifestyle Bloc united around a single vision of success: career fulfillment and money to enjoy life. On the other are the foxes—Trump voters who make up a Diversified Cohort, spreading their values across children, marriage, financial independence, homeownership, and…

On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) talked about parental rights in Illinois. Miller stated, “In Illinois, we’ve had another attack on parental rights, which is JB Pritzker signing into law mental health exams for all public school students, grade 3 and up. … So, I also have a bill that is going to require the schools to have written consent from the parents before they can do it.” “The Alex Marlow Show,” hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network.

Republicans are preparing to again “go nuclear” on the Senate’s rules. The fallout this time could be limited. Majority Leader John Thune filed a list of more than 40 nominees Monday night on the Senate floor, the first step toward a vote to change the chamber’s rules later this week that would allow group confirmations for most executive branch picks. It’s the latest chapter in a long-running partisan fight over the chamber’s norms, which has seen senators slowly whittle away at rules that once demanded bipartisan support for confirmation of presidential nominees. While Democrats are warning that the decision to…

The US has reportedly terminated Biden-era agreements to jointly police “disinformation” The United States has withdrawn from a series of international agreements aimed at countering alleged foreign “disinformation,” effectively ending joint efforts with EU governments to police online content, the Financial Times has reported, citing unnamed European officials.The US State Department notified participating nations last week that it would terminate memoranda of understanding (MoUs) signed under the Biden administration, according to the report published on Monday. The agreements with some 22 countries, mainly in Europe and Africa, were part of a broader initiative led by the now-defunct Global Engagement Center…

The Trump Administration will release a damning report detailing the ‘shortcomings’ of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after President Trump fired the Biden-appointed commissioner, according to The Wall Street Journal. Last month, President Trump fired the Biden-appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after she ‘faked’ the jobs numbers before the 2024 election to try to boost Kamala Harris’s chances of a victory. Dr. Erika McEntarfer was promptly fired after an abysmal July jobs report. The US only added 73,000 jobs in July, and the previous months were all revised down. “Nonfarm payrolls growth totaled 73,000 for July,…
