REPORT: AI Giant Resisted CCP Infiltration As US Extends Tech Lead Over China

/1 Comment/in , /by

AI giant Anthropic rebuffed an attempt from a Chinese think tank to gain access to its newest AI model, Claude Mythos, during a private meeting in Singapore, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Anthropic unveiled Mythos in April, but has limited its release to around 40 American companies, which include Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, over concerns that it is so powerful it could threaten national security systems and potentially disable companies that use it. During the April meeting organized by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a representative from a Chinese think tank asked Anthropic officials to loosen their stance and give Beijing access to the AI model, The New York Times reported.

The request was not an official ask from the Chinese government, The Times reported, but Trump administration officials at the National Security Council were nevertheless alarmed. Some officials saw it as a daunting sign that Beijing will try to infiltrate American companies by any means possible to gain access to new and powerful AI models, according to the report.

China is meanwhile scrambling to build out an AI model as powerful as Claude that is focused on cyber defense and can compete with American products, according to a report from the South China Morning Post.

“Our assessment is that China’s own Mythos will definitely emerge, though currently the overall capabilities of its cybersecurity models are far from those of Mythos,” Austin Zhao, senior research manager at International Data Corporation (IDC) China, told the outlet. “But the overall trend is inevitable because the capabilities of China’s models are also rapidly increasing.” (Read more from “REPORT: AI Giant Resisted CCP Infiltration As US Extends Tech Lead Over China” HERE)

Hantavirus Patient in Critical Condition after Doctors Dismissed Symptoms as ‘Anxiety’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A French woman who tested positive for hantavirus after disembarking from the virus-stricken cruise ship is now in critical condition after doctors initially dismissed her symptoms as anxiety.

The passenger’s condition started to deteriorate rapidly after she was finally able to leave the ill-fated MV Hondius vessel when it docked in Spain’s Canary Islands on Sunday, the Guardian reported.

The woman had initially developed flu-like symptoms on the luxury liner but appeared to be recovering — prompting doctors to speculate she was likely anxious or stressed amid the deadly outbreak.

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” said Spanish Health Minister Javier Padilla Bernáldez.

The woman, who was one of five French passengers who left the ship on Sunday, was flown to a hospital in Paris, where her condition worsened overnight. (Read more from “Hantavirus Patient in Critical Condition after Doctors Dismissed Symptoms as ‘Anxiety’” HERE)

The Capacity of Americans to Produce Babies Crashed to a Record Low in 2025

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Just in time for Mother’s Day, the CDC has published a report showing the total US fertility rate falling below 1.6 births per woman of reproductive age.

That’s a 1% decline from 2024 and a 23% drop since 2007 — and far below the 2.1 births per woman needed just to keep our population stable.

As with so many other aspects of contemporary life, we seem to have offshored the manufacture of human beings.

There should be nothing startling or unusual about this trend. It’s in line with the expressed opinions of large swaths of the great American public.

According to a 2024 poll, the share of American adults under 50 who have sworn off the messy business of reproduction increased from 37% in 2018 to 47% in 2023.

In an even more remarkable finding, only 48% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 think raising a family is a particularly important life goal. (Read more from “The Capacity of Americans to Produce Babies Crashed to a Record Low in 2025” HERE)

Pentagon reveals location of secret Navy submarine capable of launching nukes after Trump rejects Iran peace offer

By New York Post. The Pentagon revealed the location Monday of one of the US Navy’s most secretive vessels – a stealthy, nuclear-armed submarine – a day after President Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace offer.

The Navy’s Sixth Fleet shared an image of the Ohio-class submarine and its crew docked Sunday in Gibraltar, a British territory off Spain’s southern coast.

“The port visit demonstrates US capability, flexibility, and continuing commitment to its NATO allies,” the Sixth Fleet said in a press release.

“Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines are undetectable launch platforms for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, providing the US with its most survivable leg of the nuclear triad,” the fleet added.

The Navy, which operates 14 nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed Ohio-class submarines, did not share the name of the vessel docked in Gibraltar. (Read more from “Pentagon reveals location of secret Navy submarine capable of launching nukes after Trump rejects Iran peace offer” HERE)

Mayor Admits Acting as Chinese Spy, Running Fake News Website with Ex-Lover in Shocking Plea Deal

/1 Comment/in , /by

The mayor of Arcadia admitted to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China, resigning from her position in a shocking federal plea deal unsealed on Monday.

Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People’s Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022 — the city is located in the San Gabriel Valley within LA County.

Wang, 58, worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, on a web site called “U.S. News Center,” which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans, according to court documents.

But in reality the pair were carrying out Beijing’s orders through the site.

Wang and Sun “executed directives” from the Chinese government, posting propaganda designed to boost China, all while reporting back to their masters with screenshots showing how many people viewed the stories, according to the plea agreement.

Michael Jackson’s ‘Secret Family’ Reveals Disturbing Child Sex Abuse Claims Against Late Pop Star: ‘He was a monster’; Elton John, Liz Taylor Homes Implicated

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Four siblings who were part of Michael Jackson’s “secret family” revealed in an interview Sunday the vile ways the late pop star allegedly groomed and sexually abused them as children.

The Cascio family sat down with “60 Minutes Australia” on Sunday night to describe how Jackson allegedly sexually abused all of them as children and supplied them copious drugs and alcohol after wooing their family with lavish gifts and fame.

The four siblings filed a lawsuit in February, alleging Jackson was a serial child sex predator who sexually abused victims at the homes of Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John.

“He’s a monster, he’s evil, what he did was evil. And he’s tricked the whole world to think he’s this innocent, perfect human being, and he’s not,” Dominic Cascio told “60 Minutes.”

The Cascios’ father, Dominic Sr., met Jackson in the 1980s while working at the Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York City. He quickly became part of the singer’s inner circle and his family would often spend holidays at Neverland Ranch and travel the world with the King of Pop.

One of the siblings, Eddie, 43, recalled on the broadcast that he met the “Thriller” singer when he was only 2 — when Jackson began visiting the family’s New York home on late nights unannounced.

Dying River in Biblical ‘Cradle of Civilization’ Raises Scary Specter of End Times

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The “cradle of civilization” may be turning into a dust bowl — and some Christians say the Bible saw it coming.

The mighty Euphrates River — the legendary waterway that helped give rise to some of humanity’s earliest civilizations — has been shrinking at an alarming rate, sparking fresh fears among end-times believers that an apocalyptic prophecy from the Book of Revelation could be unfolding in real time.

The famed watercourse winds nearly 1,800 miles from the mountains of eastern Turkey through Syria and Iraq, slicing through the ancient Fertile Crescent — the Biblical “cradle of civilization” — before meeting the Tigris River and draining into the Persian Gulf.

Now, as water levels plunge, prophecy-watchers online are sounding the alarm over a chilling passage from Revelation 16:12.

It says: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”

For generations, some Christians have interpreted the verse to mean that the drying river would pave the way for a massive eastern army to march toward the Battle of Armageddon — the cataclysmic showdown believed to precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

University Worked With Globalist NGO To Make Mexico’s Judicial System Gay

/1 Comment/in , /by

A taxpayer-funded California university partnered with a United Nations agency to teach Mexican officials how to make their justice system LGBT-friendly, records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

More than 220 Mexican judges, secretaries and officers in Mexico’s judicial branch participated in a virtual University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law course from October to November 2022 on upholding gay and transgender rights, according to materials received in a public records request and translated by the DCNF. The law school’s Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy provided the course in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Mexico’s Federal Judiciary Council, an agency that oversaw the country’s court system before legislative reforms delegated its authority elsewhere.

The UCLA course underscores the yearslong relationship between American legal institutions and Mexico’s government to advance liberal causes in both countries. Mexico also funds liberal American attorneys to stop U.S. courts from executing Mexican citizens, a punishment the nation calls “cruel and inhuman,” the DCNF previously reported.

UCLA receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal and state grants, including $641 million California approved in fiscal year 2024 alone. The school successfully sued to regain more than $500 million in federal funds the Trump administration froze in July over alleged campus civil rights violations, CalMatters reported. Master of Laws students at UCLA’s law school will be eligible for $20,500 annually in federal unsubsidized loans by July, according to the school’s website.

The law school, which houses the Williams Institute, did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment about whether the course is ongoing and where its funding comes from. The UNFPA and the head of Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry also did not respond to inquiries. (Read more from “University Worked With Globalist NGO To Make Mexico’s Judicial System Gay” HERE)

REPORT: Blackstone-Owned Data Center Drained 30 Million Gallons Of Water From Atlanta Suburb

/0 Comments/in , /by

A data center campus in north-central Georgia consumed more than 29 million gallons of water without the local utility company initially realizing it, triggering low-pressure water flow to its host community, Politico reported Saturday.

The 615-acre Fayetteville-based data center campus, codenamed “Project Excalibur,” was found to have one water connection installed without the knowledge of the Fayette County water system, and another that was not linked to its developer’s account and therefore was not being billed, according to the outlet.

The amount of water that the campus consumed could fill 44 Olympic-size swimming pools and far exceeds the maximum amount agreed to during the data center planning process, the outlet reported. The situation occurred against the backdrop of Georgia’s ongoing moderate-to-exceptional drought.

The county reportedly discovered the issue after investigating its finding that residents of Annelise Park, a wealthy neighborhood in suburban Atlanta near the data center campus, were experiencing unusually low water pressure. The county’s initial response was to admonish residents to conserve water, according to the outlet.

The data center campus’s developer is Quality Technology Services (QTS), owned by the New York City-based alternative asset manager and private equity firm Blackstone. (Read more from “REPORT: Blackstone-Owned Data Center Drained 30 Million Gallons Of Water From Atlanta Suburb” HERE)

White House Reporter Quits Job and Announces Engagement to Marjorie Taylor Greene After Trump Roasted Him for Dating Her

/29 Comments/in , , /by

Brian Glenn, the White House correspondent for the pro-MAGA Real America’s Voice network, announced on Thursday that he is stepping down. His announcement came a week after President Donald Trump dinged him for dating former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Glenn announced his departure on Thursday’s edition of Bolling! The correspondent also said he was “breaking news” by revealing that he and Greene will get married this year.

“This has been really the only life I’ve known, you know, chasing the news, being in front of the camera, a lot of times behind the camera, and especially in the last seven, eight years, following President Trump, being kind of the MAGA mouthpiece, if you will, for the Trump America First agenda,” Glenn told Eric Bolling. “But this past Sunday, sitting at home in Georgia, I decided that it’s time to – and I’ll use an MMA reference – it’s time to leave the gloves in the ring and walk away from what I really consider has been a great career. It’s been a great time with Real America’s Voice. It’s fantastic working with you.” . . .

Bolling asked Glenn what he plans to do next.

“I have no plans to go jump into a competitor,” he said. “That’s not what I’m going to do. I’m gonna take some time off. I’m going to kind of relax, get my health back to where it needs to be, reconnect with some of these relationships with my family that I have neglected over the last seven, eight years, and really kind of enjoy life a little bit. And of course, Marjorie and I, planning a wedding likely before the end of the year. That’s a little bit of breaking news on here as well. Focus on that, but really focus on each other. And I think that this campaign can be grueling. It can really kind of drain the life out of a lot of people. And I’m 56 years old. I’m not a young kid anymore.” (Read more from “White House Reporter Quits Job and Announces Engagement to Marjorie Taylor Greene After Trump Roasted Him for Dating Her” HERE)
