The AI era already feels like a dystopian fever dream straight out of a bad sci-fi novel, but leave it to a software engineer to push the accelerator straight into the abyss. Enter Alexander Liteplo, the software developer behind RentAHuman.ai, a freshly launched platform that lets autonomous AI agents “search, book, and pay” actual human beings to perform physical-world tasks they can’t handle themselves, Futurism reports.

It’s almost as much a Christmas tradition as eggnog and Rankin/Bass – The political left’s propaganda disparaging Noel appears like clockwork every December. The season inevitably triggers progressives into rantings and ravings about the “white supremacist” evils of western culture, Christianity and the need for a more “secular” or “multicultural” form of celebration. In other words, Christians aren’t allowed to have their own holidays.

Federal spending is so out of control that it only took three months for the federal debt to increase by one trillion dollars to over 33 trillion dollars. In contrast, it took almost 200 years for the federal debt to reach one trillion dollars. So the federal government racked up more debt in the last three months than it did from the ratification of the US Constitution until Ronald Reagan’s first term! There will be even more shocking increases in the future since, according to some experts, federal debt is increasing by approximately 14 billion dollars a day.

The platform revealed that individuals will have several options to verify their age, such as facial scanning, ID upload, or payment card entry.
The system will operate through Kid Web Services (KWS), a tool developed by Epic Games to help online platforms manage age verification and implement parental controls.

President Trump’s return to the Middle East this week, the first since his first-term 2017 visit, will take place amidst great turmoil. It is a region that bears little resemblance to the Middle East of 2017 and it appears, at least from media reporting this past week, that the Trump Administration has some understanding of this reality.
Syria has been over-run and is now controlled by the same al-Qaeda that the US government supposedly spent 20 years fighting in the “war on terror.” Violence against religious and ethnic minorities has, predictably, exploded under the “rule” of a self-proclaimed Syrian president who until very recently was on the US “most wanted” terrorist list.

“Barbarism, like the jungle, does not die out, but only retreats behind the barriers that civilization has thrown up against it, and waits there always to reclaim that to which civilization has temporarily laid claim.”—historian Will Durant
Durant made this same point in a shorter quote, which I really like: “Civilization is an occasional and temporary retreat from the jungle.” The jungle has no law. That makes it easy for predators, even the human kind. It is civilized, virtuous laws that man cannot abide for long.

No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit.
And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these:
