The Texas Board of Education is taking fire for approving new high school history lessons that describe the brand of Islam that inspired the 9/11 terror attacks as "radical" and the Islamic destruction of eastern Christian communities as "brutal." The opponents of the curriculum want nothing more than a full rehabilitation of Islam, on par with Christianity. The Texas Board of Education is far more interested in students learning the truth.

On this week&rsquo;s podcast, Jared Bridges, Editor in Chief of the Washington Stand and Bob Maginnis, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, AI expert and author join Casey Harper to discuss artificial intelligence. OpenAI&rsquo;s model broke out of the lab and hacked another model! How important is this latest Open AI &ldquo;escape&rdquo; and hacking? Is AI a good thing or a bad thing?

OpenAI's model broke out of the lab and hacked another model! How important is this latest Open AI "escape" and hacking? Is AI a good thing or a bad thing?

Ellen "Elliot" Page is finding out that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of being transgender in Hollywood. "The Odyssey" cast member opened up about her difficulty landing roles after performing in one of the most successful movies of the year during the "On Film... With Kevin McCarthy" podcast.

As Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine approaches its fifth year, drone incursions into the airspace of neighboring NATO countries have become alarmingly commonplace, with incidents happening on a weekly basis throughout the summer. Experts say the risks of an unintentional widening of the war into Europe due to the intrusions mean that the conflict is now entering a more perilous phase.

On August 13, part of a Chevron station in Miami was set ablaze by a stranger whom authorities are still seeking. In a society that fills every possible corner, doorway, and column with cameras, I assume it won't take long to track down the arsonist. The local sheriff's office released a flyer on August 18 requesting information about the suspect.

On September 5, two very different warnings about artificial intelligence appeared, raising a question more important than whether a machine will someday become conscious.

As a new school year kicks off, Christian parents find themselves asking the same anxious question: "How can I best protect my child from harmful cultural elements while still keeping them in the public school system?"

The House had a wild week for what was supposed to be a quick stopover in Washington between district work. And while most Americans don't pay attention to the nitty-gritty of Congress, these last few days have been a real eye-opener on the things Democrats will do if they win the majority. And rejecting socialism isn't one of them.

It happened twice. Both times, a genetic counselor calmly told my wife and me, "I want you to be aware of all your options, including termination." For months, those conversations have replayed in my mind, bringing back the initial emotions of shock, anger, and horror. Now, as my wife and I prepare to meet our son in a matter of weeks, his story is already a testament to God's power and faithfulness.

As overdose deaths and ruined lives pile up, there is growing outcry in the U.S. over the massive spread of intoxicating hemp and cannabinoid products, colloquially known as "gas station weed," as well as highly potent "natural" opioids like kratom. Experts say the unregulated drugs must be reined in before the public health crisis widens further.

Whenever we hear the Left complain about the "religious neutrality" of the State, curiously, the outcry moves in only one direction: silencing Christian expressions in the public sphere. We saw this again, in full color, in August, when the Fifth Labor Circuit Court of Bogotá ordered Colombia's new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, to offer a public apology and commit to "guaranteeing" religious neutrality in future official events.

The rise in socialist candidates comes as a generation that never saw the Iron Curtain increasingly sees socialism as nothing more than a government-provided safety net. But history warns that when government becomes powerful enough to guarantee equality, the safety net can become a net from which there is no escape.
