Advanced violence is democratizing. AI, in conjunction with dramatic improvements in robotics, energy production, and sensors, will increasingly enable ever-smaller groups of people to use targeted violence more effectively, and from a distance. Over time, this shift will dramatically impact all varieties of force projection: state-on-state war, various forms of low-intensity conflict, and how states enforce internal order.
Perhaps understandably, however, national security discourse about the AI revolution has generally focused on more earth-shattering scenarios: superintelligence, state-to-state conflict, and the prospect of unleashing new biological weapons. These are all critical questions that deserve extensive scrutiny. But super-empowering small groups of people will shift security dynamics in crucial, if less dramatic, ways as well. Non-state actors will use AI-backed tools to conduct relatively simple attacks using increasingly autonomous weapons. In this scenario, it will be the ability of AI-empowered weapons to deliver destruction discriminately, rather than at a catastrophic scale, that will be critical.
To house the hundreds or thousands of temporary workers needed to build an AI data center, developers are increasingly relying on temporary villages known as man camps.
This style of camp was popularized as housing for men working in remote oil fields. For example, as a Bitcoin mining facility in rural Dickens County, Texas is converted into a 1.6 gigawatt data center, Bloomberg reports its workers are living in gray housing units with access to a gym, a laundromat, game rooms, and a cafeteria that grills steaks on-demand.
A company called Target Hospitality has signed multiple contracts worth a total of $132 million to build and operate the Dickens County camp, which could eventually house more than 1,000 workers.
Seven American service members are dead, dozens of Iranian children were murdered by a U.S. missile strike, oil is raining from the skies to poison the air for thousands of people living in Iran following an Israeli missile strike, and oil and gas prices worldwide are surging as the war has led to the blockade of a critical waterway used to transport oil.
But hey, at least we have a new Iranian leader who is in some ways worse than the murderous oppressor whom the United States killed a little over a week ago!
Indeed, Iran announced on Sunday that it replaced Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with his son Mojtaba Khamenei. The 56-year-old religious cleric lost his mother, wife, and a son, as well as his father, to U.S. strikes.
Given his relative youth, Iran’s new supreme leader could have many years left to rein over the nation with an iron fist. That means we spent billions, lost American lives, and potentially decimated the global economy only to put in someone who may in fact be more extreme than the previous guy who brutally oppressed both dissenters and women.
The author of that post on X was referring to an online intelligence dashboard following the US-Israel strikes against Iran in real time. Built by two people from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, it combines open-source data like satellite imagery and ship tracking with a chat function, news feeds, and links to prediction markets, where people can bet on things like who Iran’s next “supreme leader” will be (the recent selection of Mojtaba Khamenei left some bettors with a payout).
I’ve reviewed over a dozen other dashboards like this in the last week. Many were apparently “vibe-coded” in a couple of days with the help of AI tools, including one that got the attention of a founder of the intelligence giant Palantir, the platform through which the US military is accessing AI models like Claude during the war. Some were built before the conflict in Iran, but nearly all of them are being advertised by their creators as a way to beat the slow and ineffective media by getting straight to the truth of what’s happening on the ground. “Just learned more in 30 seconds watching this map than reading or watching any major news network,” one commenter wrote on LinkedIn, responding to a visualization of Iran’s airspace being shut down before the strikes.
Zohran Mamdani maintained the right to peaceful protest on Monday, two days after two counterprotesters allegedly deployed two explosive devices during an anti-Muslim demonstration targeting the New York City mayor.
“Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers who know this city as our home,” Mamdani said in a Monday press conference. “While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen.”
Mamdani called the demonstration a “vile protest rooted in white supremacy,” but stressed that “violence at a protest is never acceptable.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirms that he and his wife, Rama Duwaji, were at a museum in Brooklyn when an improvised explosive device was thrown near their home during a weekend protest.
Though Democrats claim Republicans are “protecting the powerful“ by allegedly suppressing the release of the Epstein files, political contribution records show that Democrats have received tens of millions in campaign contributions from a major Epstein-files figure.
That figure is none other than Microsoft founder Bill Gates. On Thursday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asked Gates to testify over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
At a recent staff town hall at the Gates Foundation, the Microsoft founder’s philanthropy, Gates admitted that he had an affair with two Russian women affiliated with Epstein, a Wall Street Journal report claimed based on a recording of the event.
Gates, however, told the staff that while he had those affairs, the women were connected to Epstein only later. Gates reiterated, “I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” in his interactions with Epstein.

President Donald Trump says a sharp increase in high oil prices is a “small price to pay” in the fight against Iran.
“Short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, are a very small price to pay for the U.S. and world safety and peace,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!”
Oil prices have risen to more than $100 a barrel since the United States launched its attack on Iran in conjunction with Israel, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and striking hundreds of Iran’s military targets.
Crude oil futures in London and New York soared almost 30% to nearly $120 a barrel on Monday, one of the biggest one-day jumps on record in early trading, threatening to raise costs of products from gasoline to jet fuel.
Anytime something happens in these United States of America that makes the left look bad, we on the right snark to each other about how the media will gloss over it, glorify the perpetrators, and make the progressive in question seem less bad. Like the two ISIS-inspired bombers in NYC. Sure, attempting to people up with and IED is bad, but the real villains were the tens of people Islamophobiaing in the street. Even by our usual low standards for the journalsiming industrial complex, this CNN framing is something.
Terrorists inspired by ISIS? Meh. Emir Balat and Ibraham Kayumi were just two teens who, on an unseasonably sunny day, made a mistake that could change their lives forever.
Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home. Here’s what we know so far.
Pop legend Stevie Wonder told white people to “overcome” their “hate” and “white supremacy” during his time at the mic during Reverend Jessie Jackson’s public funeral on Friday.
The “Isn’t She Lovely” singer appeared during Jackson’s “homecoming” event and told the crowd that “Rev. Jackson and I had a long and strong history.”
“It was personal and political. We were able to love each other and support each other through the good and the bad. I knew his heart, I respected his mind, and trusted his soul. I wish we could say everyone did,” he said of Jackson, who died in February at 84, according to CBS News
Wonder also performed the song “As,” along with “They Won’t Go When I Go,” which he said “speaks the truth in my heart.”
But Wonder also delivered an attack against white people.
“It is you, and you know who you are,” he lectured. “You need to overcome hate. You need to overcome the mindset of white supremacy…You shall overcome the need to dominate every single country and its people.”
“We want everyone here to stay in New York,” comedian and counterprotester Walter Masterson was saying at an anti-Islamification demonstration Saturday when a Muslim man who pledged allegiance to ISIS allegedly chucked a bomb over his head into the crowd.
But that close call wasn’t enough to shake Masterson’s open-borders convictions. Within hours he doubled down on the same mass-migration position that helped enable the situation he found himself in.
“As a born and raised in New Yorker, everyone is welcome,” Masterson said. “Everyone except chief goatf-cker Jake Lang.”

Florida officials say that two high school girls laughed and joked with each other after they were arrested for allegedly plotting the murder of a fellow classmate.
Isabelle Valdez, 15, and Lois Lippert, 14, were unaware that they were being recorded as they discussed their plans in the back of a police vehicle in January, according to the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
They also discussed the blood pact about Lanza and whether someone ratted on them.
Police were alerted to the alleged plot through an anonymous tip on Jan. 22 saying a student at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs was being targeted in a murder scheme.
On Jan. 23, both girls went to school, and by 7:38 a.m. police had asked a security guard to get Valdez out of class.
When Democrats’ lawfare failed to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, the party of “democracy” turned to the last available lever of power they possessed to stop Orange Man Bad: the lower judiciary.
Through the art of judge-shopping, left-wing activists and groups have spent the past year strategically filing lawsuits in districts dominated by Democrat and liberal Republican appointees to challenge virtually every aspect of Trump’s agenda. And with little convincing rationale, many of these rogue judges have eagerly issued overreaching orders blocking the president from enacting it.
The latest example of this phenomenon came on Friday, when a three-judge panel comprised mostly of Democrat appointees rejected (2-1) a request by the Trump administration to pause a ruling by D.C. District Judge Ana Reyes. In her order, the Biden-appointed Reyes blocked the government from revoking Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 350,000 Haitian nationals residing in the United States under the program.
The censorship crisis in Europe has recently reignited global concern over protecting free expression. Europe has consistently made headlines for overreaching restrictions — from Vice President JD Vance highlighting the continent’s crisis of censorship to, more recently, Elon Musk’s high-profile challenge against the European Union in defense of online free speech. But the growing attacks on free speech across the Atlantic aren’t the only offenses to watch. Censorship in Brazil has been escalating since 2019, and the violations against free expression are just as alarming.
In Europe, we’ve seen: a sitting parliamentarian prosecuted for sharing a Bible verse on X, a comedian arrested for social media posts criticizing gender ideology, and citizens criminalized for merely praying silently in their own minds, among many other severe free speech violations. Brazil is producing its own wave of censorship abuses, much like these.
As everyone knew he would, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has appealed Marion County Judge Christina R. Klineman’s “absurd” ruling that the state’s 2022 abortion law violates the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
“We disagree with the court’s decision and have already appealed,” an offices spokesman said. “As we have with every challenge against our pro-life law, we’ll continue fighting to protect the lives of the unborn.”
Indiana Right to Life President and CEO Mike Fichter said, “We are encouraged by Attorney General Todd Rokita’s immediate move to appeal this injunction.” He called the 17-page decision “a perversion of the law’s intent.”
New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, criticized an anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion but did not mention the suspects or their alleged ISIS links in his first statement about the attack.
An anti-Islam protest led by Jake Lang, who has described himself as a “January 6 political prisoner,” drew counter-protesters outside Gracie Mansion. During the demonstration, authorities said at least one device was ignited. Two suspects, identified by authorities as Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested on the scene in connection with the incident. Police revealed the device was an improvised explosive device consisting of a sports drink bottle filled with volatile explosive material known as TATP, placed inside a glass jar and surrounded by nuts and bolts.
The New York Post reported that law enforcement sources said Balat used the Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar” after his police interview. During a brief appearance before reporters, he flashed the single-finger gesture associated with ISIS.
While Gavin Newsom believes one of the last of his fights in the State of California should be to put an end to misinformation regarding the Golden State, someone should really inform him that the truth hurts. Just because it is not hard to make his leadership look like a failure, that does not make those claims invalid. He, however, believes otherwise, which is why he has decided to spend nearly $20 million to fight the truth.
According to the California Post:
As California faces a multibillion-dollar budget deficit, Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to spend millions in taxpayer money on an ad campaign to try to rebrand the state as a “great place to live, work, invest and visit.”
The Pentagon rarely labels an American technology company a “supply chain risk.” The designation is typically reserved for firms tied to foreign adversaries or companies that could expose sensitive government systems to compromise.
But in late February, the Trump administration applied that label to one of the most prominent artificial intelligence developers in the United States.
On Monday, Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI system, turned up the heat on the fight by filing a federal lawsuit against the Pentagon and several government agencies after the administration ordered agencies to stop using its technology across the federal system.
“Anthropic sued the Defense Department and other federal agencies on Monday over the Trump administration’s move to designate it a supply chain risk and eliminate its use across the government,” the report explains. “The company said the effort was ‘unprecedented and unlawful.’”
Just days after two Islamic terrorists allegedly threw a homemade IED into a group of anti-Islamic protesters, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is continuing to show us what “globalize the intifada” actually means. Mamdani, and his terrorist attack-loving wife just hosted Mahmoud Khalil for dinner.
For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.

“A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine,” Mamdani wrote. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.”
Federal prosecutors say one of the suspects charged in the attempted bombing at a protest near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence allegedly told investigators he wanted to carry out an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”
The claim appears in a criminal complaint filed Monday against Emir Balat and his co-defendant Ibrahim Kayumi.
The two suspected terrorists are accused of attempting to detonate explosive devices during a protest and counter-protest near Gracie Mansion.
In new book, gender studies professor says it’s time to abolish these labels
“Sexual identity” labels should be abolished because they “harm trans people” in their dating and sex lives, a UC Riverside professor argues in a new book.
Brandon Robinson, a professor of sociology, gender, and sexuality studies, wrote the book “Trans Pleasure: On Gender Liberation and Sexual Freedom” based on interviews with men who identify as women (“trans women and trans femmes — trans people who identify with a feminine gender expression”) and their Reddit conversations about dating and sex.
The book documents these individuals’ experiences in “the bedroom,” “restaurants,” “dating apps,” and other typical dating spaces, and the discrimination that they often face, according to Robinson.
“… dominant understandings of sexual identities—which center desires around gender and genitals—harm trans people. They also limit how everyone can love and feel pleasure,” according to the book description.

It is one thing to ensure no human is illegal, but it is a whole other level when the left has decided foreign nationals can now enforce the law, while still being a citizen of another country. And this is exactly what the State of Washington has decided to impose on American citizens.
A state bill allowing some foreign nationals to serve as officers in the State of Washington is headed to the Governor’s desk, where he is expected to sign and approve it into law.
Kristen Welker’s softball Sunday interview on NBC with the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reminded everyone again of an anti-American double standard. The liberals inside newsrooms put enormous pressure on interviewers to question Trump fiercely, while representatives of mass-murdering Islamist regimes get open-ended softballs.
Restaurants in Mumbai are switching to electric induction stoves for staff meals and looking to tweak menus to conserve gas amid a shortage commercial LPG cylinders that threatens to disrupt their business.
While the government on Tuesday issued an order to regulate supply of natural gas to essential sectors, restaurants say there is no clarity on availability of the commercial cylinders.
As a consequence, as many as 50 per cent of eateries in Mumbai may have to temporarily shut shop, say executives of industry associations.
“We have started using electric induction stove to prepare staff meals, tea and rice based dishes. Some restaurants are looking to restrict their menus,” said Pranav Rungta, vice president of National Restaurant Association of India and owner of Nksha restaurant in Mumbai.
A big NASA satellite will crash back to Earth on Tuesday (March 10) after nearly 14 years in orbit, experts say.
The spacecraft in question is the 1,323-pound (600-kilogram) Van Allen Probe A, which launched in August 2012 along with its twin, Van Allen Probe B, to study the radiation belts around Earth for which they’re named.
Both spacecraft were deactivated in 2019, and Van Allen Probe A’s time off Earth is now nearly up. As of Monday afternoon (March 9), the U.S. Space Force predicted that the satellite will reenter Earth’s atmosphere on Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. EDT (2345 GMT), plus or minus 24 hours.
The skies in northern Iran were dark with smoke on 8 March as the US and Israeli bombing campaign against the country continued, and black rain even fell on the capital Tehran.
The catastrophic scenes have raised concerns about threats to civilian health in Iran and other countries.
Overnight on 7 and 8 March, US-Israeli strikes hit Iran’s oil facilities for the first time since the war started a little over a week ago, igniting large fires in four oil storage facilities and an oil transfer centre in Tehran and the nearby Alborz province.
Flames loomed over Tehran in the night, and black smoke billowed over the city during the day. Soot covered the streets and cars and filled up people’s balconies. Most alarmingly, thick black raindrops fell onto roofs and streets in the capital, which until recently was experiencing a long drought.
WOLFSBURG, Germany: Volkswagen said Tuesday (Mar 10) that it would cut 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030 as its profit slid to its lowest level since 2016.
“In total, around 50,000 jobs are due to be cut by 2030 across the Volkswagen Group in Germany,” Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said in a letter to shareholders in the firm’s annual report.
The 10-brand group had already struck a deal with unions at the end of 2024 to cut 35,000 jobs by 2030, mostly at its namesake brand, as part of plans to save 15 billion euros a year.
The additional cuts would come from premium brands Audi and Porsche as well as Volkswagen’s software subsidiary Cariad, Blume added.
Successive Leftist governments in Canada allowed massive levels of immigration from Hamas supporting countries. This is the result. Canada’s Jewish community being terrorized with near impunity. Negligible responses from all levels of Canada’s government. Shame on Canada. The future of Canada’s Jewish community is looking increasingly bleak.
