Bern-ing Biden: 'Nobody Thinks Illegal Immigration Is Appropriate'

Economist Kenneth Arrow’s theorem suggests the impossibility of an ideal voting system – but what does that mean?

It will be visible across the Arctic and Europe, as well as parts of North America and Africa.

Scientists at Virginia Tech argue that the wireless revolution—think 6G and beyond—demands artificial intelligence (AI) capable of human-like reasoning. The critical ingredient? Common sense: the ability to comprehend the world and adapt to new scenarios. This perspective comes from an IEEE Journal article authored by Professor Walid Saad, graduate student Omar Hashash, and postdoctoral fellow Christo Thomas. AI today consists of programs that learn and solve problems, but its capabilities are narrow. It excels at spotting patterns in data—identifying a dog in a photo, for instance—but struggles to grasp context or predict outcomes, like what happens if that dog chases a ball. Common sense would enable AI to anticipate such events, much like humans do intuitively. Emerging technologies, such as the metaverse—a virtual world mirroring reality—rely on networks that seamlessly blend the physical and digital. This requires AI with human-like cognition. To achieve this, the researchers propose leveraging “digital twins,” virtual replicas of real-world objects or systems. Imagine donning a VR headset and “walking” through a city while the network adapts in real time, as if you were physically present. That’s the vision. Professor Saad predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI with human-level reasoning—remains 10 to 15 years away. “We’re looking at a decade or more before wireless networks integrate general-purpose AI capable of thinking, planning, and imagining,” he explains. “The metaverse and digital twins will accelerate this by modeling the world and helping AI develop common sense.” So, what’s holding us back? Current AI is tethered to statistical analysis, faltering when faced with unpredictability or tasks requiring creative problem-solving. For instance, it can’t figure out how to connect a phone to a weak-signal network without explicit instructions. The scientists call for a paradigm shift: from networks aided by AI to networks that think independently. “We need wireless systems that not only grasp AI’s underlying principles but also understand the world—its objects and their interactions,” says co-author Christo Thomas. “This demands integrating mathematics, reasoning frameworks, and insights from cognitive science.” A digital twin of a wireless network could bridge this gap, enabling AI to perceive and interpret reality as humans do. It’s the foundation for a network that doesn’t just function but anticipates and plans ahead—essentially, the “missing link” for intelligent systems. The researchers envision a future where your router optimizes signal strength on its own or the network predicts where you’ll need connectivity next. This isn’t just about faster data; it’s about technology that understands us. In this scenario, the metaverse evolves beyond a gaming platform into a training ground for AI, fostering the leap to true intelligence.

Our friends at Twitchy had a hilarious piece early Monday from Warren Squire that tore the San Diego-area ABC affiliate KGTV a new one (pun intended) for lamenting how layer upon layer of razor wire added to President Trump’s border wall between the U.S. and Mexico could lead to serious injuries for anyone who would try to enter the country illegally. “They lament there is ‘spiraling wire enveloped in spikes that can easily cut into your skin’ on the border wall. Oh, no! Not a deterrent,” Squire joked as a lead-in to an X post of the segment: “If that upsets some ‘journalists’ toiling away in San Diego so be it,” he later said. But wait, there was more! ABC report going onto explain that, between the razor wire and “750 Marines and Army personnel sent to the San Diego border in January,” daily crossings by illegal immigrants in the sector have plunged from 1,400 a year ago to roughly 30. Since it is what our great friends over there do, Squire picked out a few of the comments to the above tweet, with one noticing they shared the detail about increased razor wire “like it’s a bad thing.” To see Squire’s full story, click here.

Oklahoma State University wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson saluted and hugged the president of the United States after a shocking upset victory at the NCAA championships.The new heavyweight champion pulled off what is being called the biggest upset in collegiate wrestling history when he beat Minnesota's Gable Steveson, a two-time national champion. Steveson is not only a celebrated and internationally famous athlete at just 24 years old, but he's also an Olympic gold medalist and a former WWE wrestler. Hendrickson's upset was even more monumental when factoring in Steveson's 70-match winning streak.President Donald Trump, along with other politicians like Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), had a front-row seat to watch Hendrickson win the stunning upset via takedown with just 23 seconds left in the match. Hendrickson was down by two points before prying a victory from the jaws of defeat and finishing with a final 5-4 score."Oh my God!" announcer Daniel Cormier yelled. Hendrickson then stood up, pointed to President Trump, and saluted him."Captain America," Cormier stated, audibly choking up. "My jaw's on the floor!"'That's my commander in chief; I'm very proud of that.'Hendrickson immediately walked over to Trump to shake his hand; the two hugged before the president said something into the wrestler's ear."What did the president say to you?" an ESPN reporter asked Hendrickson moments later."He said he's very proud of me," Hendrickson replied. "That's my commander in chief; I'm very proud of that. He came here to support his troops; I put on a show for him and I won that national title." Photo by Terence Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesAt a post-match press conference, Hendrickson thanked his family before noting he also wanted to thank "my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for blessing me.""In that last shot, I was in on that leg and there was a little extra push behind me to get that takedown. I don't think that was by chance," Hendrickson continued, per ASAP Sports.Then, the Oklahoma State athlete told a story for the ages when he recalled his church service earlier that week."I was listening to the sermon. [The pastor] was talking about David and Goliath. And David had a vision of victory before he stepped on the mat," Hendrickson remembered. "I kind of carried that with me all week. Even though he went after Goliath and everyone was like, 'This can't be done,' he had a mind of a champion, he had a vision of victory. Leading up to this tournament, I knew that my head had to be in the right place if I wanted to end up on top."Hendrickson is a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force and considers himself lucky to be able to continue wrestling before returning to his role in the military."I've always been super patriotic, and I have a heart to serve," Hendrickson told Fox News.The wrestler added that his opportunities seem limitless and he is excited to serve in the Air Force.Like Blaze News?

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi appears to be taking a different direction in ongoing litigation about Second Amendment rights.Bondi's chief of staff, Chad Mizelle, said on X that protecting Americans' Second Amendment rights is a "high priority" and that the department will be "re-evaluating some of its recent litigation positions on Second Amendment issues, including silencers."'Your pressure worked' — (@) The announcement comes after the DOJ moved to delay a ruling in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals after the acting U.S. attorney argued that suppressors are not protected under the Second Amendment. It is part of the case U.S. v. George Peterson, where Peterson was convicted of possessing an unregistered suppressor.In order to obtain a suppressor, purchases have to go through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and pay a $200 tax stamp. Suppressors are legal in most states and are used to help prevent hearing damage during recreational use of guns."The government now requests this Court delay its ruling on Peterson’s petition for 30 days to allow it an opportunity to further consider its position. On February 7, 2025, the President issued Executive Order 14206, Protecting Second Amendment Rights (EO 14206), directing the Attorney General to examine all executive actions to present a proposed plan to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. In implementing that order, the Department of Justice is re-evaluating its litigation positions regarding silencers," the government said in its filing.Bondi following through on President Donald Trump's executive order is a welcome sign for gun rights advocates, who have been worried about Bondi's actions on the issue, especially regarding red-flag laws, when she was attorney general in Florida."To everyone who helped make a stink about the DOJ’s continuing Biden-era strategy, your pressure worked. ... All the federal government’s positions on litigation are controlled by the executive branch, which answers to YOU. That means political tactics work to control lawsuit strategies and we saw that happen over the past two weeks," said Hannah Hill, vice president of the National Association for Gun Rights' legal arm.Hill added that while it should not have taken a pressure campaign to end Biden-era stances on firearms, it was worth it because of the DOJ's reversal.
