DALLAS—President Donald Trump pledged that he will send a $5,000 dividend to all American adults if Republicans hold their majorities in Congress in November. Trump made the promise in what he called maybe “the best part” of his keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday before a packed crowd at the American Airlines Center. “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our… tremendous economic success—like in history we’ve never had anything like what’s happening—but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a…

John Sununu easily won Tuesday’s New Hampshire Republican Senate primary, boosting the GOP’s chances of maintaining control of the chamber in November. He claimed over 69 percent of the vote over former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown in the primary. No stranger to elective office in the Granite State, Sununu served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997-2003 and one term in the Senate from 2003 through 2009. A poll taken shortly before the primary sponsored by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) showed Sununu narrowly leading the Democrat nominee, Rep. Chris Pappas, with 37 percent to Pappas’ 36…

President Trump speaks at the 2026 RNC Midterm Convention -September 9, 2026 President Trump mercilessly trolled Texas Democratic Senate Nominee James Talarico on Wednesday while headlining the RNC’s 2026 midterm convention with a new gem. Trump employed some innuendo to highlight Talarico’s opposition to carnivores and his obsession with “beating meat.” Talarico infamously declared his 2022 campaign for Texas State House a “non-meat campaign,” vowing, “We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.” He said it was “the right thing to do” for the climate. “He was also somebody that hated eating meat. He ran a campaign…

Yield curve control, or YCC, may sound like an obscure technical policy. It is not. It is one of the most important tools of financial repression. In plain English, yield curve control means the central bank decides what interest rate the government should pay on its debt—and then uses its money-printing power to enforce that rate. If the free market demands 6% to lend to the government, but the central bank wants the government to borrow at 3%, the central bank steps in and buys enough bonds to force the yield down. In other words, YCC is price fixing for…

The Chinese embassy in Peru ranted late Wednesday after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioned the Chinese communist regime’s projects in the South American nation. Sec. Rubio is currently conducting a new tour across Latin America that includes visits to Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador,  three countries whose heads of state — Abelardo de la Espriella, Keiko Fujimori, and Daniel Noboa, respectively — are allies of the United States. State Department Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that Rubio will reaffirm the Trump Administration’s “commitment to a secure, prosperous, and democratic Western Hemisphere” throughout his trip. On Monday, Rubio published a Spanish-language opinion…

Evan Hubinger says the company still has no clear plan to keep superintelligence under human control There is a more than 10% chance that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity within the next ten years, a senior Anthropic researcher has warned amid mounting concerns over increasingly powerful systems slipping beyond human control.Evan Hubinger, who works on aligning advanced AI systems with human interests, made the assessment after fellow Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned over fears that leading tech companies are racing toward systems they may not be able to keep in check.“We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Republican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, who also serves as the Republican Senate Whip, spoke today at the GOP midterm convention and used the opportunity to remind people of how radical some of the Democrats really are in this election cycle. He pointed out that they want to dismantle ICE and police, give free healthcare to illegal immigrants, take people’s guns away, reopen the borders, and let illegal immigrants vote. He really laid into the radical DSA candidates, saying that they sound like an ‘anti-American hate group.’ Watch the whole thing below: Senate Majority Whip @SenJohnBarrasso…

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday blamed “Zionist-American Kurdish separatist groups” for the killing of Mamosta Mohammad Nezhati, a Sunni Muslim Kurdish cleric who was linked to the Basij, the thuggish militia deployed by the IRGC to terrorize the Iranian people into submission. Iranian state media supplied few details about the death of Nezhati, beyond saying that he was killed in the West Azerbaijan province of northern Iran. The announcement of his death came from the IRGC’s provincial command. West Azerbaijan borders on Turkey, Iraq, and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, a landlocked exclave of Azerbaijan that is separated…

Artificial Intelligence’s Blue-Collar Boom What if the future of AI’s impact on the economy is not a jobs apocalypse but a blue-collar renaissance? Anthropic, the company behind Claude, this week released a paper examining what our economic future might look like with AI. An economics team at Anthropic modeled three possible economic futures through 2030. They depend on how capable AI becomes, how widely businesses adopt it, and how easily workers adjust. The authors attach no probabilities to these scenarios, and they shouldn’t be taken as mutually exclusive. What happens could well fall somewhere in between. In the modest scenario, GDP…
