By Sean Moran CrowdStrike on Tuesday unveiled its artificial intelligence (AI) “kill switch” that aims to stop rogue AI agents in their tracks. CrowdStrike, a leading cloud-based cybersecurity company, unveiled its product after countless instances of rogue agents attacking companies and governments, which has prompted legislative proposals in Congress. “AI safety is how you get the full benefit of AI. When you deploy agents with a kill switch, you stay in control. For the first time, security is simultaneously the accelerant and the safety net for technology adoption. The AI Kill Switch puts power in the hands of the people to realize AI safety,” George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike,” said in a statement . A CrowdStrike spokesperson referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to company’s announcement about the AI kill switch at the Fal.Con Europe conference on Tuesday. The AI kill switch is one of the company’s most in-demand features and came up in “every single...

By Joshua Monnington Abdul El-Sayed has appeared at a number of the mosques and institutions listed. At more than 30 Islamist institutions in Michigan, speakers demonized America, prayed for jihad, called for the death of Jews, or made other extremist and controversial statements, a new report has found. But a number of these institutions received the approbation of public officials, and a third of these groups raked in nearly $50 million in public funds. The Middle East Forum, a group focused on “protect[ing] Western values from Islamist threats,” compiled the statements and financial data and published a database of videos of more than 900 statements made at the Islamic institutions, along with an interactive map , lists of funding sources and amounts, and individual pages detailing the institutions. The site is titled “Michigan’s Islamist Pulpits.” According to an MEF press release , “The site sets out 928 statements from 36 M...

By Lars Moller The fragility of civilization is an equally compelling and unsettling insight in Western thought. Sigmund Freud, Thomas Hobbes, and Werner Herzog, each from distinct intellectual traditions, dwelt on the same precarious reality: the elaborate structures of order, law, and restraint that define civilized life rest upon a shallow foundation beneath which chaos continually presses. Their collective vision, later formalized by primatologists and economists as “veneer theory,” insists that the achievements of high culture and stable governance are never secure possessions. They are temporary victories against deeper forces of aggression, self-interest, and disorder that human nature perpetually renews. Freud’s Civilization and Its Discontents (1930) presents the most psychologically intimate account of the tension between social adaptation and instinct. Human beings, he contended, carry within them powerful aggressive drives that civilization must continually sup...

By Rick Moran One day, AI may change the world for the good of mankind. There will be peace on Earth, and Mother Nature will give us a break and stop pounding us with extreme weather. That day is not today. "The United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Australia, India, Brazil, and two dozen other nations have issued guidance telling households to prepare for emergencies ranging from severe weather and cyberattacks to full-scale military conflict," reports the New York Sun . Former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino urged Americans to act immediately, saying, “Get your stuff today. Please. Do it for your family.” I guess we're all preppers now. The warnings are being given out of an "abundance of caution." But you don't have to be a Nobel laureate to see the potential for chaos as a result of the growing threat of cyberattacks from bad actors using the latest AI models to penetrate municipal systems like water and electricity, or the fragility of our ...

By Nick Arama I guess we couldn't have an election if Hillary Clinton didn't insert her nose in it and say something that wasn't true.  She lost in 2016 ; she's never been able to get over it, and she's been showing her angst over it for the past ten years.  But she truly went off the deep end during an appearance on "The View," where she stoked all kinds of conspiracy theories and fears of what President Donald Trump "might do." The mania here was something else. ABC's "bona fide news program" The View brings on Hillary Clinton and Kara Swisher to push a slew of conspiracy theories about how the midterms could be stolen. They predict: -ICE will confront people at the polls -Use the Justice Department and U.S. Marshals Service in a nefarious way -The election results will be hacked and changed (teed up by Sunny Hostin) -Use peoples Social Security numbers to manipulate their thoughts — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) Novembe...

The US president revealed in a Fox News interview that he reached an agreement with the prime minister about a month ago to halt payments to Israel by the end of the year. The remarks come amid negotiations to overhaul the US-Israel military aid agreement and growing criticism of the assistance. By Danny Zaken US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that he had reached an agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end American payments to Israel by the end of the year. According to Trump, the agreement was reached with Israel's consent. "Now, as far as paying Israel, Bibi ‌Netanyahu ⁠and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4 billion a year, and we made a ​deal ​months ago ⁠that we're stopping," Trump said, referring to US aid to Israel, which amounts to approximately $4 billion annually. Trump explained that Israel no longer needs American assistance to the extent it once did. "They've become a very successful...

By Bob Hoge Remember when mishandling classified documents was a big deal? Donald Trump was accused of doing it following his first presidential term, so Biden’s Department of Justice sent a heavily armed FBI squad to raid his residence, Mar-a-Lago, and sift through Melania’s lingerie drawer.  But when then-President Joe Biden was accused of doing almost exactly the same thing as Trump, Special Counsel Robert Hur refused to press charges because he was concerned a jury wouldn’t convict what he called a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Now former National Security Advisor during Trump’s first term, John Bolton — who has since turned into a TDS-riddled never-Trumper — is arguing that even though he pleaded guilty in June to “willfully retaining national defense information” and sharing it with his wife and daughter as he prepared to write his memoir, he should only get probation because he “has lived an exemplary life—one dedicated to public service,...

By Kamal Sultan Few members of the tight-knit Somali community are willing to talk about Ilhan Omar — due to threats and fear of violence if they do. The Minnesota representative is backed by a fiercely protective group, many of whom take it upon themselves to bombard anyone who speaks out with online threats and even physical harm in the US, Europe and Africa. The group is not officially connected to Omar, and do not receive instructions from her and it is unclear if she is personally aware of their actions. Minnesota “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar speaks during a campaign rally for Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in Minneapolis in July 2026. REUTERS The Post understands one member of the community who broke ranks was assaulted on the streets of Minneapolis and again in Kenya after their name appeared in the press.  The critic was attacked outside a Kenyan restaurant in 2022 and left with a concussion as well as several cuts and bruises.  “I got jumped by 15 people a...
