Andy Burnham, King of the North, will bring order to Britain
Andy Burnham has twice failed to become Labour leader, but now the way is open for the “King in the North” to become the next Prime Minister in London. In both 2010 and 2015, the now-56-year-old Andy Burnham sought the leadership of the social democratic Labour Party in the UK. However, both times he trailed the winners, Ed Miliband (2010) and Jeremy Corbyn (2015). But now, for the third time, the odds are in his favour after Burnham built a reputation as both straightforward and successful following nine years as Lord Mayor of Manchester.

Top Pentagon official says Grok was used against Iran

Continued use of Grok is “a matter of utmost national security,” the Pentagon’s director of digital and artificial intelligence, Cameron Stanley, said in a written statement made under oath, The Independent reports.

Covid: The cover-up and effects in less than 500 words
a US-funded biolab in Wuhan, China, one of some 120 in 30 countries, made a virus and inoculation based on an American recipe that leaked and spread, causing worry that US/UK officials would be blamed. They formulated a well-rehearsed fallback: lie about the laboratory origins and prepare the population for the antidote based on a new gene-editing technology that otherwise would never have been approved on grounds that it was too dangerous and not effective.
Nadella’s Hedge: Microsoft Wants To Make AI Models Cheap – Then Own The Rails They Run On
The entire AI capital cycle – roughly $700 billion in hyperscaler capex this year, an estimated $2 trillion-plus through 2028 – is collateralized by one belief: that intelligence is scarce, and therefore priceable. That belief is already under strain. Per-token inference prices have fallen on the order of 200× in a year, and the only thing holding revenue up is volume; the cost of intelligence is dropping even as the cost of deploying it climbs. Hyperscaler free cash flow is rolling over. The Fed has named AI capital spending a systemic risk. And after falling behind in the race to build the best AI, Microsoft is setting up for a massive hedge. The company is on track to spend north of $120 billion this fiscal year – most of it on GPUs and the data centers that house them, $37.5 billion in a single quarter alone, pushing free cash flow negative for the first time in a generation.

He didn’t offer numbers in terms of casualties or damage, but emergency services were dispatched to several areas, given there was debris fallout and key neighborhoods impacted. The Moscow Times reports of the Moscow region’s four commercial flight hubs, “Civil aviation authorities said operations at Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports were suspended during the multi-hour attack
Rep. Hunt: Racial Argument Against Voter ID Is ‘Insulting’
Democrats’ idiotic arguments against requiring ID to vote include claiming that black Americans are somehow mysteriously unable to get IDs. Aside from the obvious elitism and racial prejudice of such a claim, it is practically impossible to live in America and not have identification. They are required at doctor’s offices, airports, bars, liquor stores, car rentals, welfare programs, and many more places. But somehow expecting IDs at polling places is unreasonable? Democrats claim requiring proof of citizenship to vote is racist and discriminatory. I’ve been Black my entire life, and that’s one of the most insulting arguments I’ve ever heard.
Security probe: Was mystery vessel testing Israel’s defenses?
Approximately three weeks after a vessel infiltrated the Gulf of Eilat, defense officials are considering the possibility that the vessel was not manned, but rather served as a means of testing the defense forces’ reaction. During the event, IDF forces declared a suspected infiltration in Eilat’s maritime space. Israeli Navy forces identified a vessel that crossed the eastern border in the Gulf and opened fire at it, after which it returned toward Jordan. At the time, information was received from Jordanian sources that an individual on the vessel was wounded by the gunfire. However, an inquiry by the security forces found no indication that such a passenger existed and that the information received was either incorrect or false. According to a report by Channel 14, the inquiry’s findings indicate that the vessel was probably unmanned and was designed for intelligence gathering or carrying explosives. It is estimated that after being shot at, the vessel continued to the Jordanian coast, where it remained.

What Happens When The Biblical Literacy That Shaped America’s Founding Disappears?
Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. If Huntington identified the foundation of America’s shared identity, educator E.D. Hirsch explained how that identity was transmitted: through a common biblical literacy that provided Americans with a shared vocabulary, history, and moral framework. Without that shared knowledge, the cultural foundations of national identity inevitably begin to erode. The Founding Fathers were immersed in biblical imagery. Benjamin Franklin famously proposed a national seal depicting Moses at the Red Sea. The Israelites’ exodus taught lessons about liberty, tyranny, divine providence, and national purpose. But what happens when that biblical literacy disappears?

Liberal Media Ignores the Ravaging of Britain
This article contains disturbing details about the rape and abuse of young girls. Reader discretion is advised.
