Free speech advocates directly confronted the European Parliament (EP) and pushed the pro-censorship body to make a massive course correction. Paul Coleman, the executive director of ADF International, and Stephen Nikola Bartulica, a Croatian EP member, participated in a hearing on Wednesday, where they slammed the controversial Digital Services Act (DSA). Notably, also in attendance were Rod Dreher, the author of Live Not by Lies, French member of the European Parliament Virginie Joron and Dan Schneider, the vice president for MRC Free Speech America.

Democrats are screaming incessantly about “due process” these days. Every time the Trump administration moves to deport an illegal immigrant — even one with the most egregious criminal history — suddenly, they’re all about individual rights and the Constitution. “If you're a multi-time wife-beater, MS-13 member, human trafficker, like this guy Garcia that the Democrats circled around — due process. If you're hundreds of Venezuelan gang members, terrorists sent here by Maduro, the Marxist genocidal maniac in Venezuela — due process,” sighs Mark Levin. “Except when Donald Trump was in that star chamber of a courtroom … in Manhattan.” Nobody cared about due process then. “[Trump] was denied due process repeatedly. He didn't even know exactly what he was being charged with,” Levin reminds us. The truth is glaringly evident: Democrats are for due process only when it suits their agenda, and in the case of illegal immigration, it does. “They opened our borders; they brought in every kind of person on the face of the earth into this country, including the worst of the worst … because their goal is to change America. If that means a little bit of despotism and crime and little bit of raping and murdering and people dying from drugs, so be it,” says Levin. “The goal is one-party rule by the Democrat Party.” But with every deportation, the goal of “altering the citizenry so the citizenry supports the Democrat Party” slips a little farther away. Blubbering over the constitutional right of due process has become the weapon they’re using to fight back, and Democrat-appointed “rogue judges” are wielding it. “A lot of these judges are trying to deliver for the Democrat Party because they were appointed purposely by Biden and Obama with the help of Schumer … to thwart Trump, and that's exactly what they're trying to do,” Levin explains, calling it "judicial despotism.” And as for due process for illegal aliens, it “isn't in the Constitution,” says Levin, arguing that the clause “No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” applies to American citizens. Unfortunately, our Supreme Court has been wishy-washy on this issue — sometimes ruling in favor of the Trump administration, sometimes in favor of the left-wing judges. “It depends if you're 25 yards from the beach that you came in on or the border; depends how long you've been here; it depends on this; it depends on that,” says Levin. “You would think such a fundamental right as they explained to us of due process would be pretty clear, pretty simple, pretty understandable, but it's not.” “And so what the Democrats are trying to convince you to do” is “support is the broadest possible due process rights," he adds. But it has nothing to do with freedom or rights. “Power — that’s what they want,” Levin warns. To hear more of his commentary, watch the clip above.

The Prime Cut Diamond Drilling company defines a controlled demolition as:The process of systematically demolishing a structure in order to achieve a certain objective. Often used for work on buildings where high control measures of safety and order are essential, controlled demolition ensures that disturbance to the surrounding structures and area is kept to a minimum.The company makes clear that a controlled demolition isn’t just blowing up buildings with dynamite, swinging wrecking balls, or making noise with drills and burst charges. It’s about precision. Even the Occupational Safety and Health Administration maintains a web of standards, subparts, and interpretive letters to help ensure compliance with destruction — done by the book, clean and contained.Why would the Trump administration make such a colossal mistake to reward those who propped up Biden and failed to perform their duty to investigate the truth?This same concept — orderly destruction — eerily mirrors what the legacy media and Democratic Party are doing to Joe Biden. Their goal: dispose of him and his political baggage as efficiently as possible. As Gwen Walz might put it, it’s time to “turn the page.” The priority isn’t honesty. It’s containment. Limit the damage to Biden and his family. Protect the political infrastructure that carried him into power.At the center of this choreographed takedown: a conveniently timed book from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson. For dramatic effect, the public gets a sudden, “unexpected” admission of Biden’s health problems — framing the collapse as a personal tragedy rather than an institutional failure.None of this should surprise anyone. Fortunately, most Americans see through the staged confessional period now playing out across the media. It’s political kayfabe — an orchestrated performance where journalists and insiders finally admit what they’ve known for years: Joe Biden wasn’t running the country.What they still refuse to confront is the real question: if not Biden, then who?These same operatives now expect to walk away with their reputations intact. They offer carefully worded regret, maybe a little contrition, and assume that’s enough to preserve their elite status.We cannot let them off the hook.The American public deserves transparency and accountability for the chaos and destruction of the Biden years. The people who called the shots behind the scenes must be named. They must answer for what they did.A shameless cash grabFor four years, Democrats insisted that “democracy was under attack.” Fine. Then tell us: Who actually held power inside the White House? Who made the decisions? Who overrode the president?You don’t get to wave the flag of constitutional order while hiding the names of those who exercised executive authority in secret. That’s not how a functioning republic is supposed to work. Pretending otherwise insults every voter and mocks the very system these people claim to protect.RELATED: The Great Biden Book War has finally begun Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty ImagesThe media should be held accountable alongside those who exercised presidential authority on Joe Biden’s behalf. Tapper and Thompson’s new book isn’t journalism — it’s a shameless attempt to cash in on a cover-up they actively helped sustain.Throughout the Biden presidency, both CNN and Axios prioritized access to the White House over honesty with the American public. Axios will point to a handful of criticisms they published, but a full review of their coverage tells the real story: They consistently accepted and repeated the Biden administration’s preferred narrative.They showed no interest in investigating the Biden family’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party. They downplayed Special Counsel Robert Hur’s probe into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. And now they’re dismissing our investigation into the White House’s use of an autopen to sign documents — an effort that kept the paper trail moving while insulating the president from oversight.But the betrayal runs deeper than journalistic malpractice. Tapper and Thompson’s work isn’t just morally compromised — it’s commercially rigged. Axios has a clear financial stake in its own reporter being the center of the story. That context matters, especially when Axios somehow obtained the audio recordings of Biden’s long-sought interview with Hur.Those tapes didn’t fall from the sky.The Oversight Project spent the past year in litigation, pushing the Justice Department toward a decision on releasing them by May 20. We negotiated in good faith with the government, believing the process would result in a fair release.Then, late on Friday, May 16, Axios dropped select portions of the Hur interview — bylined by none other than Alex Thompson.Absent from their story? Any editor’s note disclosing Thompson’s direct financial interest in the book set to release just days later.Maximum spin jobWhy would the Trump administration make such a colossal mistake to reward those who actively propped up Biden and failed to perform their duty to investigate the truth? All the talk of the “fake news being the enemy of the people” seems insincere when Jake Tapper’s business partner is given the scoop. And it’s not just the Trump administration implicitly sanctioning Axios and CNN’s role in this long history; it’s that Axios also massively botched the rollout itself. This is a key part of a controlled demolition.In the hours after the tapes dropped, our legal team at the Oversight Project scrambled to make sense of what had just happened. We, along with others, had operated in good faith — only to be blindsided when those negotiations suddenly veered in the opposite direction.A closer review of Axios’ release revealed the deception. The audio had been edited using “jump cuts” that made Biden sound worse in places. We knew immediately how that would play out. Biden’s defenders would seize on the edits to discredit the broader argument. And they did. At this point, calling it coincidence stretches belief.Every step of this process has aimed to shield Biden — and the people who kept him in place — from real accountability. That pattern continues to this day.Back in February, we forced the Department of Justice to commit to a deadline: May 20. It agreed to make a decision on whether to release the Hur interview tapes. Shortly after, Tapper and Thompson’s book was announced. The timeline doesn’t feel random. It looks scripted. This wasn’t chaos — it was a controlled demolition.The autopen investigationAt the Oversight Project, we don’t intend to let that plan succeed.We won’t allow them to shut the book on the Biden years with a whisper instead of a reckoning.We’ll provide the dynamite. We’ll swing the wrecking ball. And when the moment demands precision, we’ll bring the drill and the charges. The key to unraveling this entire deception lies in one place: the autopen investigation.Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the White House. Biden wasn’t running the show. Everyone knows that now. The next step is identifying who was.And we won’t need Tapper's or Thompson’s help to get there. In fact, they’ve wandered directly into our demolition zone.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the Splitgate 2 open beta for a while. Set to stay live until it fully launches in the summer, it’s an endless opportunity to play my most anticipated new FPS game, and now it’s finally here. Imagine my disappointment, then, when I awoke this morning to find its servers offline - and they’ve remained that way the entire day. While some players have had a fairly smooth experience, there’ve been some widespread issues with cosmetic items not showing and general server instability. After hours of downtime, 1047 Game’s CEO has apologized for the bumpy start to the open beta, promising that the studio is “working around the clock” to get things up and running again.

Google announced an impressive number of AI innovations at I/O 2025 on Tuesday, making it clearer than ever how powerful this AI firm has become. It might have lost ground to ChatGPT by failing to launch a chatbot before competitors and taking time to deliver a compelling Gemini experience, but it's now pulling ahead in some areas. One of the most exciting Google AI announcements involved new content generation tools: Imagen 4 (photos), Lyria 2 (music), and Veo 3 (video). Then there's the Flow AI video generator, which lets you create amazing AI scenes using text prompts (and your own content, if needed). These kinds of products aren't new in the AI space. We've had similar tools for years, and we've seen plenty of impressive AI-generated content—realistic photos, incredible music, and videos that look almost like professionally shot clips. But Veo 3 is something else entirely, and the flood of AI-generated clips using Google's latest video tools is going viral online. Veo 3 doesn't just generate video; it also creates audio to match the action in the scenes, including background noise and dialogue. It does a great job of maintaining character, location, and object consistency from one scene to the next. It's no surprise that Veo 3 AI video tech will be used in actual movies. The clips below are stunning and look like genuine videos. They're so realistic that the average viewer won't be able to tell they've been created with AI. That’s a challenge Google may need to tackle soon. Continue reading... The post 17 insane Veo 3 AI videos that’ll stop you from trusting anything you see online appeared first on BGR.

Apple has several exciting products in the works, but it's facing a major issue in releasing them: Apple Intelligence continues to falter in development. Without Siri's on-screen awareness capabilities, Apple is pretty much stuck waiting to launch its new wave of smart home products and even some cutting-edge tech. Here are three Apple products that have been delayed because Apple Intelligence isn't quite ready yet: Apple AR Glasses: Although Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple plans to release the Apple AR Glasses in 2026, the company will only be able to introduce this product if its AI capabilities are strong enough. If Cupertino wants to compete with Meta, it needs to deliver great Visual Intelligence features and a genuinely helpful Siri assistant. Apple's Smart Home Device: Cupertino is working on an Amazon Echo Show-like competitor. This is one of several smart home devices the company aims to introduce in the coming years. But Apple has delayed the launch because it relies heavily on AI. Rumors suggest it will feature a 6-inch screen and "look like a square iPad." Display with a robotic limb: Similar in concept to an iMac G4, this premium Apple product could become the ultimate home hub. It's a fancier version of the Echo Show-like device, featuring a robotic limb that can follow you in certain scenarios. Like the others, it's also delayed due to the current limitations of Apple Intelligence. Other Apple products will need better Apple Intelligence features Image source: AppleTrack/YouTube While those products can't move forward without Apple Intelligence, several other devices also need better AI features to reach their full potential. These include the upcoming iPhone 17 models, the rumored iPhone Fold, and really, any Apple product where Cupertino hints that AI is a key component. More recently, rumors suggest the Apple Watch might start getting proper Apple Intelligence features. That shows the company is committed to expanding its AI capabilities, though it could still take a few more years to get things just right.
