The Men Building AI Now Want to Build Better Babies
By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network
For years, Silicon Valley's most powerful men have told us that
artificial intelligence would transform the world. Now, according to a stunning
investigation by Mother Jones, some of those same men appear to be
funding something that sounds straight out of a dystopian novel: technologies
designed to help parents select, optimize, and one day perhaps genetically
engineer their children. Among those reportedly
backing companies involved in embryo screening, genetic analysis, and future
gene-editing research are tech heavyweights like Peter Thiel, Sam
Altman, Brian Armstrong, and Marc Andreessen. [more...] Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report
Reagan and Trump - The Hilton Paradox
By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened
In 1981, Pres. Ronald Reagan was in the midst
of initiating: a) the free-market reforms that reinvigorated our long dormant
economy, and b) the defense buildup that would eventually win the Cold War. In
late March, Reagan emerged from a speech at the Washington Hilton only to
encounter an assassin who, in a span of a few seconds, fired off 6 rounds, one
of which lodged in his lung. By the time Reagan reached the hospital, he was
perilously close to death. As he was rushed into the emergency room, the
irrepressible Reagan looked up from the operating table and said, "I hope
you are all Republicans," to which one of his surgeons famously replied, "Today,
Mr. President, we are all Republicans." History repeated once again when a
would-be assassin attempted to charge the ballroom at the Washington Hilton
where President Trump was preparing to give a speech. Like Reagan, Trump is in
the early phases of trying to turn our economy around while also fighting a new
Cold War against China and its allies. Fortunately, he avoided being shot but,
given today's politics, there is little chance he would have heard encouraging
words of solidarity if he had been hit. [more...]
The Left Wastes Time Weaponizing Everything, From Policing to
Immigration, and It's Rotting Our Infrastructure
By Seth Barron, Author of WEAPONIZED: The Left's Capture, and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions
We have heard a lot about "weaponization"
over the last few years. On social media, it has become a kind of shorthand,
like the word "gaslighting," for anything that someone finds annoying
or unscrupulous. In America today, weaponization refers to the use of
ostensibly neutral institutions or concepts for political or ideological ends
that would be difficult to achieve without leveraging the good reputation of
those institutions. When someone is shot, it’s a problem of gun
violence. When someone is stabbed, shoved in front of a subway car, or beaten
to death, it’s usually a failure of mental health and housing policy. In either
case, the answer is never, "We need to have more money for policing."
It's always, "Look at all the money we waste on the police." [more...]
On Capitol Hill, China Themes Increasingly Center on Trade
Theft, Espionage, IP Violations
By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America
How did China become a near peer competitor
with the U.S. on everything from computers to AI platforms to space? Theft and
IP violations. Over the last week, two hearings on China have basically drawn
this same conclusion – China's rise can also be attributed to stealing Western
ideas. The House Select Committee on the CCP discussed this in
regard to AI. And the Senate Judiciary Committee discussed it in regard
to basically everything – be it deep fryers or fighter planes. [more...]
No, Gun Control Wouldn't Have Prevented the Latest Trump
Assassination Attempt
By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime
As is so typical, just hours after the
assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Democrats were
already calling for more gun control. But they made the same mistake they
continually make - they called for gun control laws that were irrelevant for
stopping the attack they are discussing. If policymakers and advocates are serious about reducing such incidents,
the focus needs to shift toward measures that directly address the factors
involved, such as reducing the rhetoric that seems to have
driven the attacker at the WHCD, rather than reiterating familiar but
ineffective solutions. [more...]
Why David Horowitz is More Relevant Than Ever
By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center
...his war is not over; it's just beginning.
[This article is part of the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the passing of our founder, namesake and visionary.]
One year ago, David Horowitz
succumbed to his 25-year battle with cancer. He however never succumbed to his
40-year battle against the left that he was convinced was killing America. It
still is. [more...]
Trump's Rebuilding of American Power
By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author
After
facing and surviving his third assassination in three years, President Trump
was asked why he keeps getting shot at. Mr. Trump's response gave America a
line for the ages: "Only consequential presidents get shot at...
it's a dangerous business." Far from bravado, Trump offered
history in real time. Some presidents manage decline. A few expose it. Trump
forced America to confront whether decline was ever inevitable or simply policy-based.
The facts answer that consequential question.
Musk v. Altman - Transforming Charity to Business Lacks
Integrity
By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator
The high-profile trial of Elon Musk versus Sam Altman is one
week in. As a federal jury in Oakland, CA listens, one simple question hangs
over the courtroom: Can you steal a charity? The answer will determine the
future of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as the fate of charitable
giving. OpenAI, the entity that Musk and Altman co-founded, was built on a
solemn, legally binding promise that its leaders have since breached. What
began in December 2015 as a nonprofit organization, dedicated to developing
artificial intelligence to benefit all humanity, has become a closed-source,
profit-making, $850 billion company. This "stealth" transformation
was not merely a clever business plan. It was a breach of charitable trust.
