Forget the Autopen. The Question Is Forgery.

Did persons in the White House use the autopen to forge President Biden’s signature?

Much ink has been spilled on the topic of whether use of the autopen to sign President Joe Biden’s name to pardons, executive orders, legislation, and other documents invalidates the actions. But these analyses overly complicate and miss the key point: Was the document a forgery?


I don’t doubt the fraud allegation at all.

A Black female Jesus and a gay Judas will shake up the Hollywood Bowl

Adam Lambert sits on a rickety wooden chair just outside the main chapel at the Hollywood United Methodist Church on a break from rehearsing the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Dressed in beige shorts and a vest with matching mid-calf boots, Lambert wears his trademark glitter eye makeup with thick black liner. He’s calm and collected, content to spend his lunch break chatting, even though the rehearsal schedule is a breakneck nine days total. He chalks up his easygoing demeanor to the high-wattage professionalism of the cast, and his familiarity with the music.

Why is this needed?

Adam Zivo: Ukrainian protests quash Zelenskyy’s contentious power grab

ODESA, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tried to dismantle his country’s anti-corruption infrastructure last week in a shameful power grab that has stained his domestic and international credibility. Yet, the mass protests that followed, which forced Zelenskyy to quickly reverse course, illustrate that Ukrainian democracy remains resilient and that illiberal governance will not be tolerated by its citizens.

The Muslim Brotherhood: A Terrorist Organization That the US Must Designate as One

On July 24, Egyptian-born Michael Youssef, senior pastor of Church of The Apostles in Atlanta and author of more than 50 books, including The Third Jihad, wrote that while visiting a Middle Eastern nation, he met with a highly placed Muslim official.

“He leaned toward me and said, ‘Doctor Youssef, can you tell me why the Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt – but is allowed to flourish in America?’ I said, ‘I can think of no answer except foolishness and ignorance.'”

Political slogans can create a powerful movement, that can also backfire. Mark Carney be warned

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

In today’s political landscape, policies and politics alike are increasingly shaped and simplified by slogans. Prime Minister Mark Carney has introduced “Build, Baby, Build” as a rallying cry for his government’s infrastructure agenda, signalling urgency and determination.

While Carney is relatively new to the art of sloganeering, his adoption of this catchier vernacular shows an understanding of how powerfully these formulas land in modern politics.

AI Is Wrecking an Already Fragile Job Market for College Graduates

What do you hire a 22-year-old college graduate for these days?

For a growing number of bosses, the answer is not much—AI can do the work instead.

At Chicago recruiting firm Hirewell, marketing agency clients have all but stopped requesting entry-level staff—young grads once in high demand but whose work is now a “home run” for AI, the firm’s chief growth officer said. Dating app Grindr is hiring more seasoned engineers, forgoing some junior coders straight out of school, and CEO George Arison said companies are “going to need less and less people at the bottom.”

Bill Balderaz, CEO of Columbus-based consulting firm Futurety, said he decided not to hire a summer intern this year, opting to run social-media copy through ChatGPT instead.

Trump’s Golden Dome missile-defence push on Canada leaves Ottawa with few good options

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump wants a Golden Dome of missile defence over the United States, and if you’re thinking this sounds familiar, you’d be right. Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, aka Star Wars, also aimed to develop a space-based and layered defence system to knock out any incoming strikes.

It didn’t work out.
