Americans and Europeans are overwhelmingly concerned about China’s vision for a new global order and support investment to stay ahead of Beijing in technology, according to polling exclusively reviewed by The Daily Wire. The American Edge Project in partnership with Mercury Analytics, surveyed thousands of people across the United States and Europe concerning their views on China, artificial intelligence, and other issues. The poll, reviewed by The Daily Wire, was conducted from October 7-25. Pollsters asked 4,000 adults spread equally among the U.S., U.K., France, and Germany, and another 500 in Belgium. The margin of error is 3.1% for each country’s sample. The margin of error on sub-samples is greater. The poll on Westerners’ thoughts on China, its orientation toward the West, and the battle to innovate and develop technology comes as the Trump administration has prioritized winning the race for artificial intelligence. The Trump administration has pushed Europe, as well, to embrace technological growth and avoid burdensome regulations that could unduly hamper AI development. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

At an AI summit in France in February, Vice President JD Vance touted the Trump administration’s ambition to make the United States the world leader in AI, but “just because we’re the leader doesn’t mean we want to or need to go it alone,” Vance said in an invitation to Europe. Americans and Europeans are overwhelmingly concerned about the threat China poses to the United States and Europe. The poll results demonstrate repeated concerns on both sides of the Atlantic that respondents are “deeply worried about China’s plans to create a new global order and its technological threat to Western nations,” according to a polling memo reviewed by The Daily Wire. According to the poll, 79% of Americans believe that China threatens their economic well-being, and 80% say they are concerned about a national security threat. Europeans responded in similar numbers with 78% saying China threatens their economic wellbeing and 70% concerned about threats to their national security. Even more Americans, 87%, responded that they are concerned about China building alliances with non-Western countries to build a bloc that could challenge the West. For Europeans, the number who agreed with the American majority ranged from 80% in Belgium to 89% in France. And 91% of Americans said they are concerned that China is conducting cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. Almost the same percentage of Europeans, 90%, said the same.

Four kittens were born shortly after their mother cat was taken in. Today, they're living the dream life they were always meant to have. Skittles, KitKat, Twizzler, and Tootsie RollLori WhiteIt all began when a Good Samaritan crossed paths with a street cat who clearly needed help.The cat was heavily pregnant and searching for a safe place for her kittens. Without hesitation, the kind woman took her in, offering food and shelter. Soon after, the mother cat brought four beautiful kittens into the world.From their first moments, they were protected, warm, and loved. Lori WhiteOnce the kittens were weaned, their mother was ready to let them spread their wings. She could finally be spayed and return to her carefree life, enjoying everything she loved in safety, warmth, and comfort. But the kittens, still a bit shy around people, needed help building confidence through socialization.That's when Lori White, a dedicated volunteer with ARPO (The Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership), stepped in to help. KitKat and TwizzlerLori WhiteLori welcomed the kittens into her home and prepared a cozy space just for them. At first, they were nervous, clinging to their carrier. But once they realized that food was abundant and always available, their fears melted away."All the white kittens have gray marks on their heads, and the gray kitten has the cutest gray nose," Lori shared. KitKat, Twizzler, Tootsie, and SkittlesLori WhiteThe gray kitten, KitKat, was the tiniest of the bunch and needed a little extra TLC. With proper care, nurturing, and patience, KitKat began to gain weight.Tootsie Roll, the only girl in the litter, arrived with a big personality and an even bigger appetite. "She doesn't like anyone getting in the way of her eating. Her favorite way to eat is to put her foot in the bowl to make sure that portion is hers." Tootsie RollLori WhiteOnce the kittens settled into their routine, mealtime became a full-on spectacle. They turned into tiny food-driven torpedoes, bursting out the door the second it opened and attempting to leap over the baby gate. If Lori was even a minute behind schedule, they made sure the entire household knew it."They are little jumping beans (at mealtime)." Lori WhiteAs they grew, their personalities blossomed. Tootsie's baby blues changed to a striking heterochromia, two different-colored eyes, and she was determined to stand out in every way possible.One day, she spotted a large cone belonging to a resident dog and immediately dove inside to "test" it. Skittles, her equally inquisitive brother, joined her to help with "quality assurance." Skittles and Tootsie RollLori WhiteThe kittens with the delicate gray brushstrokes on their heads loved piling together in a warm cuddle heap, often with KitKat tucked in the middle. When they weren't zipping across the room or pouncing on toys, they transformed into the sweetest snuggle squad.Their purrs rumbled so loudly that it sounded like a chorus from heaven. Lori WhiteAs the holiday season arrived, snow blanketed the world outside, but the kittens stayed warm and cozy indoors with their humans nearby. They "helped" Lori decorate the living room and eagerly devoured their very first Thanksgiving breakfast.After weeks in foster care, they were finally ready for their next chapter. Lori WhiteTootsie and KitKat have found their forever home, while Twizzler and Skittles are still waiting for a family who will cherish them endlessly. "Snow fell last night, and Twizzler and Skittles were warmly tucked away in their bed."Thanks to the compassionate people who opened their homes to this little family, they have flourished. From now on, their winters will always be filled with warmth, comfort, and love. Lori WhiteShare this story with your friends.

A Drunk American Raccoon Has More Charm Than a Dumb British Prince

Most parents assume that when they send their children to college in the South, they’ll be marked safe from transgender ideology rearing its head in their classrooms.However, it appears that they’ve assumed wrong.Now a student at the University of Oklahoma has filed a discrimination report against a transgender instructor who failed her for referencing the Bible in an essay response to an article about gender stereotypes.The student, Samantha Fulnecky, disagreed with the premise of the article but made sure her response worked well within the prompt’s guidelines — using the Bible to argue against the notion that there are multiple genders.“Apparently the trans instructor didn’t like that very much and gave her a 0 as her grade,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”In her essay, Fulnecky wrote, “I strongly disagree with the idea from the article that encouraging acceptance of diverse gender expressions could improve students’ confidence. Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth.”“My prayer for the world and specifically for American society and youth is that they would not believe the lies being spread from Satan that make them believe they are better off as another gender than what God made them,” she continued.“My first reaction is why are you asking the students to write an essay about this in the first place? It seems to me like there are far better things that you could be teaching them rather than having them waste their precious time explaining something like ‘boys have penises and girls have vaginas,’” Gonzales comments.“But then again, we are dealing with a mentally ill professor,” she continues, noting that when the New York Times covered the story, it conveniently left the part about the professor being transgender out.“I find that part fascinating,” Gonzales comments.The professor, who calls himself “Mel Curth,” responds, “I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting points for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive.”“Additionally to call an entire group of people ‘demonic’ is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population,” he added.“Seems to me like it's entirely about her beliefs,” Gonzales comments, adding, “and the fact that she stood up for her, of course, Christian worldview.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
