A popular password manager is under fire by the left for pledging money to a Linux distro.

For most people, nothing about that sentence makes sense. Let’s unravel the mystery.

When it comes to illegal immigration in Europe, you’re probably familiar with Tommy Robinson and the massive Unite the Kingdom rally held in May this year. Glenn Beck himself even attended the event, under threat of a lifetime ban from the U.K. government, just to give a speech on the importance of God-given civil liberties. Ultimately, Unite the Kingdom ended without fault, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned from his post.

Leftists have gone so insane that they don’t even realize the danger of their policies.

But while Tommy Robinson may be the face of the Unite the Kingdom rally, there are other Europeans who are also concerned about some of the points stressed at the event, such as the mass influx of illegal migrants crossing into European nations. One such man is David Heinemeier Hansson.

Back in July, Hansson took to his website to lay out a three-step plan to save Europe. None of it is radical by any stretch of the imagination. He calls for ending mass migration that causes harm to European culture, axe the climate hysteria that takes so many lives every year at the hands of restrictive anti-air-conditioning decrees, and a pro-success work ethic that embraces capitalism to sustain European stability and growth.

Digging back farther, Hansson has pointed out the hypocrisy of DEI, spurred the end of wokeness, and brought attention to social media censorship of conservative voices. So naturally, the leftists hate him and any company that would dare to support a project with his name attached, including Omarchy, the operating system Hansson built on top of the free, open-source programming code called Linux.

So what’s the problem again?

Well, DHH has been smeared as a “racist” for voicing his concerns over the illegal migrant takeover of Europe. Now his left-wing haters are spreading lies about Hansson and the company that can’t go unchecked.

The trigger event? On the last day of August, an announcement appeared on the Omarchy blog, detailing that the popular password manager 1Password will donate $100,000 per year for three years — totalling $300,000 — to help fund Omarchy.

That’s it. The left-wing blowback was almost immediate.

The left gnashes its teeth

A blog by MITRE principal engineer Andrew Lilley Brinker was one of the first responses that gained notoriety. In his piece, titled “1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe,” he tells the tired lie that Hansson wants immigrants to be violently eliminated from Europe, when all Hansson really wants is the preservation of European culture as its nations are invaded by illegal aliens. Still, he doesn’t mince words, writing blatantly:

[DHH] is, in short, an outspoken bigot who supports programs of mass death and forced migration of minority communities.

Another critic took to 1Password’s community forum to voice some valid concerns about the partnership, all of which were swiftly tainted with personal attacks on Hansson:

Now…I will tread into perhaps the more contentious parts of this (oh noes! politics!): DHH is a right-wing racist. This has been documented elsewhere, but I will point to this single article that has a good breakdown of one of “problematic” posts.

The user went on to cite someone else’s scattered takedown of Hansson, all centered around the argument that “DHH’s politics are not normal.”

Insanity pervades the left

There are two things to take from this:

Critics on the left have an interesting way of taking something written by the right and attributing meaning or bigotry that simply didn’t exist. At least in the pieces cited in both critiques, Hansson voices concern for his people and a desire to preserve a culture that is clearly being stomped out by an uncontrolled opposing force. Never once did he call for ethnic cleansing. He called for common-sense reform to save a vital piece of the West.Leftists have gone so insane that they don’t even realize the danger of their policies. In what world does allowing the invasion of a nation by foreign people with disparate values and no vetting end well? That’s not migration. It’s a takeover, and the consequences are dire. Europe is being conquered, and unless Europeans do something about it, the countries will fall to those who seek to destroy them. And the rest of the West is next.

Now what?

Since 1Password supports Hansson, it must be bad, too. At least that’s what the left believes. That leaves the right open to support a company that promotes security, privacy, legal migration, and national sovereignty.

Personally, I was a 1Password customer for a long time, and although I don’t use it any more, it’s still one of my favorite password managers, with few breaches or technical problems. If you’re in the market for a new password storage solution, 1Password has my recommendation. At the very least, you’re supporting one of the few companies that reflect your values.

A demonstration against illegal boat migrants in the United Kingdom brought a port city to a temporary halt.

Police were called on Saturday to the Port of Dover after hundreds of masked Britons blocked roads and brought traffic to a standstill.

The protesters chanted, ‘I’m England till I die!’

Video from the demonstration shows mostly male protesters shouting, “Stop the boats!” and “Whose streets? Our streets!”

Commuters, port workers, and tourists reported long delays over the demonstration.

The Port of Dover is frequently a site of anti-immigration protests as it is where migrants are often brought to the U.K. when they are picked up in small boats in the English Channel.

No arrests were made in Dover.

About 200,000 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel in small inflatable boats from France since 2021 according to CBS News. Most of the illegal migrants are adult men originally from Africa or the Middle East.

Reform leader Nigel Farage issued a statement against the masked protesters.

“Now, I’m all for the protest. Plenty to protest about. But seriously, this is not the way to go about it,” he wrote at the Daily Telegraph.

“Because let’s be clear, face coverings are a menace,” he added. “Whether it is a heavy-duty balaclava worn by a gang member or the dark mask of ‘Antifa’ extremists, their purpose is to bully and intimidate.”

He went on to call for all face coverings to be banned in public, including religious ones.

Another protest erupted at Portsmouth on Sunday in an attempt to block the arrival of 140 migrants who were intercepted from one boat. Some of the protesters chanted, “I’m England till I die!”

None were arrested at that protest either.

Mike Tapp, Labour member of Parliament for Dover, condemned the protesters.

“I bet if you asked any one of those ‘protesters’ they wouldn’t know small boat crossing[s] are down by 40%, and we are working hard to fix the mess,” he wrote on Facebook Saturday. “Go home, enjoy your weekend/get a job.”

President Trump has decided to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” and liberals are reacting with anger that BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes would be better suited for the influx of illegal immigrants let in under the Biden administration.

“We are adding a new stage to TDS when it comes to the libs because … you think that they have stage five terminal cases of Trump derangement syndrome, and then they just take it to a whole new level,” Gonzales says, noting that there should be a “new stage six.”

At this “stage six,” she explains that the controversy “breaking the brains of libs and sending them into full-blown meltdown mode is not illegal criminals committing crimes in our country.”

“It’s actually, of course, something way less serious, something way less important, which is President Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America,” she says.

In retaliation, liberals have started a boycott of any company that is going along with Trump’s proclamation, like Apple and Google Maps, who have changed Lake Ontario to Lake America in their systems.

“So now libs are like, ‘We can’t use these companies. I’m never using Apple Maps again. I won’t use Google Maps,’” she says, explaining that the only company liberals have been able to find that didn’t rename the lake is MapQuest.

“Which is apparently still a thing. And I think probably the only reason that it didn’t rename it … is because it hasn’t been updated since like 2015,” Gonzales says.

“So they’re going to run into some dead ends. But be that as it may, MapQuest is number one on the app store right now after refusing to change Lake Ontario’s name, according to CNN,” she continues.

In an interview on CNN, MapQuest General Manager Doug Berger told Erin Burnett that the company was “absolutely blown away by the response.”

“The updated figure is over 1.5 million downloads and installs so far. So it’s completely shocking. And yeah, what a ride so far,” he continued.

Burnett even pressed the company on its lack of relevance, as most Americans use Apple or Google to map out their directions.

“When people saw this, there were some who said, ‘Wait, MapQuest?’ They weren’t sure that it was still there. OK,” Burnett said, “and you fully embraced that entire conversation.”

“So when Eric Trump posts, quote, ‘Shocking to see you’re still alive.’ What is your response to that?” she asked.

“First of all, it’s hilarious, and it’s also true. MapQuest is 30 years old. This is actually the 30th birthday or anniversary of MapQuest. And so everybody has fond memories of printing out directions back in the day,” he replied.

“Really fond memories,” Gonzales says. “Good luck with your stupid map website app, whatever, printing off your directions. Good luck. Hopefully your directions don’t make you drive right into the Lake of America.”

A recent ban announcement from a half-century-old celebration has some furries reeling, despite admitting that their scene is rooted in obscure sexual themes.

While ComicCon and FanExpo are seemingly thriving environments for furries, there’s one place where they might be scaring the families away.

‘I think the biggest impact is losing this lovely place that I had kind of considered home.’

Furget it

A 33-year-old costume wearer going by the alias Aston Hawthorne — his “fursona,” if you will — spoke out about the heartbreak he went through after learning that his ilk had been banned from an event not normally associated with adults who sexualize sports mascots.

The Maryland Renaissance Festival.

Now 50 years old, the festival is reportedly the second-most attended in the country with 368,000 attendees expected this year.

It seems festival officials have simply had enough of seeing costumes that have nothing to do with the actual Renaissance. This, on top of complaints, led to the recent ban.

Some visitors reported “feeling uncomfortable by those wearing fursuits,” the festival’s general manager, Julius Smith, told City Cast DC in a statement.

The widely circulated announcement is explained on the festival’s website, stating multiple times that certain costumes are not welcomed.

Under its regulations about headwear, the festival says it must be “thematic to the event and appropriate for a family-friendly venue.”

“Non-thematic headwear will not be permitted through the festival gates. Examples of noncompliant headgear/face coverings include inappropriate face paint, offensive prosthetics, makeup or masks intended to frighten, and fursuits,” the website reads.

Giving paws

The company page reiterates that costumes cannot be “inappropriate for a family environment,” and that includes scantily clad or scary attire.

Straightforwardly, the company writes: “We’re not a LARP or Cosplay event.”

City Cast reported that the announcement actually sent shockwaves through the costume-wearing community, with 15-year-furry Hawthorne saying that he’s been wearing his costume to Renaissance fairs for three years now and was “shocked” to hear about the ban.

“Everyone was pretty shocked, especially since there [has] never really been an issue before,” the furry said.

Festival officials’ indirect retort was that they have heard support from customers over the ban and that festival-goers have felt furries “detract from the Renaissance theme.”

“We want our customers to embrace the story we’re telling and the themes we’re promoting,” Smith said.

Queer as folk

Event officials said furries tend to give “unauthorized performances” and sometimes pose as cast members while posing for pictures.

At the same time, the furry in question said the news made him go through “all the stages of grief.”

“It was really, really heartbreaking,” he added.

Hawthorne did admit that while the subculture he claims is indeed largely based in sexual deviancy and sexual identity, he wasn’t sure if that was the reason for the ban.

“The media does love to portray the furry community as very sexually enthusiastic, if you will, and it’s a group of adults being together. It’s also a very queer-oriented community, and a lot of that community involves very radical self-expression, and within that radical self-expression, sexual themes can make an appearance.”

However, he said he hasn’t seen those themes in “most of the outfits” at the fair.

Michigan congressional candidate Mike Bouchard has been given a prime-time speaking slot at the 2026 Republican midterm convention Wednesday, a sign that the Republican Party is making moves to keep control of Congress come January.

For the appearance, Bouchard has been paired with former NFL placekicker Jay Feely, who is running for Congress in Arizona, which voted for President Donald Trump in 2024 but went blue in 2016 and 2020.

‘Mike’s prime-time speaking spot reflects what Republicans nationally already recognize: Michigan’s 10th District … could help determine control of the House.’

Bouchard and Feely are among just a handful of not-yet-elected candidates lined up to speak at the Dallas convention Wednesday, and their scheduled time slot of between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Central Time suggests that the party wants the nation to see their faces and hear their message.

Trump has already endorsed both men.

Bouchard, 32, is a Michigan Army National Guard captain who is gunning to represent Michigan’s 10th Congressional District. Rep. John James (R-Mich.) has held the seat for the past four years.

Like the state of Michigan, the 10th District is about as purple as it gets. Rep. James, who is now running for governor, snuck past his Democratic opponent in 2022 by just 1,600 votes.

RELATED: An insider look at one of the toughest congressional races in the country

All polling suggests another tight race in 2026. On August 25, the Cook Political Report shifted the race for the 10th Congressional District from lean Republican to a toss-up, and Kalshi currently has Democrat Christina Hines as the clear betting favorite.

“Mike’s prime-time speaking spot reflects what Republicans nationally already recognize: Michigan’s 10th District is one of the most competitive congressional races in the country and could help determine control of the House. The race was recently moved from Lean Republican to Toss-Up, and both parties understand the stakes,” Jon Shiner, Bouchard’s communications director, told Blaze News.

“Mike’s background and service make him uniquely qualified to fight for Americans and the voters of this district. His message tonight will be of lowering costs, securing our communities, bringing manufacturing jobs home, and defeating the Democrats’ increasingly socialist agenda.”

Feely, 50, is also hoping to keep a decidedly purple district red. Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) has represented the 1st Congressional District of Arizona for the past two terms, but he won in 2022 by less than 1% of the vote.

Kalshi is similarly bearish on Feely’s chances.

The GOP will need to hold onto every seat it can in November to maintain control after the midterms. Republicans currently enjoy just a four-seat majority in the House, 218 to 214, and generic congressional polling shows Democrats with a clear edge.

A 24-year-old Florida female allegedly crashed into parked car and even smacked the car’s owner late last month — and Daytona Beach Police bodycam video captured the suspect’s rather dramatic DUI arrest.

Surveillance video shows the driver of a Ford Bronco crashing into a Honda parked in a driveway outside the vehicle owner’s residence — except the Bronco driver kept accelerating, pushing the Honda into a grassy area as the Bronco’s rear tires sent dirt into the air, the New York Post reported.

‘She smacked me right here.’

Police bodycam video shows officers confronting the suspect — Elizabeth Boucher — following the Aug. 30 crash.

“I guess I hit the front light of the car,” Boucher told an officer. “But I don’t know what really happened.”

The officer replied, “You didn’t just hit the front of the car. You just took the car completely off.”

When an officer asks Boucher for her driver’s license, she produces a passport instead.

“Please don’t take me to jail over this,” Boucher pleads.

What’s more, bodycam video shows Boucher declining to perform sobriety exercises and even trying to walk away from officers.

But they quickly caught up to her.

“Just because you don’t want to talk to us doesn’t mean we’re done with our investigation,” an officer told Boucher while placing her in handcuffs.

“I thought we were all friends,” Boucher told one officer amid her arrest.

In addition, Boucher claimed she’s a mother: “I’m not resisting arrest; I just wanna make sure my daughter gets what she needs.”

Boucher soon declined to take a requested DUI test and was placed in a patrol vehicle. WFLA-TV reported that she was taken to Volusia County Jail.

Police said Boucher faced charges of DUI, touch or strike, possession of a controlled substance, resisting an officer/obstruction, refusal to submit to DUI testing, and DUI damage to property.

The Post said a neighbor told the owner of the crumpled Honda about the crash, and the Honda owner ran out to see what happened, after which Boucher and the Honda owner allegedly squared off.

“She came at me, and she was like in my face,” the unidentified Honda owner told police on bodycam video. “She smacked me right here.” The woman added to cops that she wanted to press charges against Boucher.

The paper — citing an arrest affidavit Law & Crime obtained — also reported that the Honda owner allegedly struck Boucher back and knocked her to the ground.

Boucher also is accused of following the woman back to her front door, where the Post said she was shoved again before police arrived.

The paper said Boucher was booked and released from jail on Aug. 31; she’s expected to appear back in court on Oct. 21.

One great thing about the Trump revolution was the galvanizing affect it had on young conservatives.

Even as the mainstream media violently rejected the president, a new generation of brave and talented pro-Trump voices developed a new medium to circumvent the biased media: the podcast.

Everything feminism claims to be true about the oppression of women and girls in society is now true in reverse about men and boys.

The leader in this wave was “Red Scare,” hosted by two whip-smart female New Yorkers. “Red Scare” dared to think Trump was funny, that #metoo was a power grab, and that the left was boring, gutless, and intellectually bankrupt.

The need for reinforcements

But there was only one “Red Scare,” and they had a lot of ground to cover. Soon similar podcasts sprang up as well. One of these, the Perfume Nationalist, ultimately became just as influential in its own way.

TPN founder Jack Mason — a gay conservative Texan — discussed classic movies, books, films, music, soap operas, and, yes, perfume in a highly original and entertaining way. It became an immediate hit.

A large part of the show’s success came from Mason’s humorous outbursts and spontaneous monologues regarding our current left-dominated “clown world” culture.

Just think of it: smart, lively discussions of all your favorite books and films, from a funny and defiantly anti-woke perspective. Who could resist that?

The Perfume Nationalist: The book

Now, seven years into his podcast’s run, Jack Mason has written a memoir about his life and experiences as a key player in the podcast revolution.

Mason’s writing demonstrates his college-professor level of knowledge of the books and films he talks about. But unlike the politically compromised (and dubiously qualified) academics of today, he actually has interesting insights to share.

On shopping malls:

The mall, once viewed as a symbol of empty commercialism by punks and Gen Xers, had become a longed-for symbol of beauty and authenticity now that it was largely gone and replaced by e-commerce.

On the state of conservative young men:

[Their] personalities were divided between a cartoon avatar who could say and do anything without consequence and their real identity, a lonely and alienated young man who was demonized, used, and disposed of by society, and who — if he was lucky — might have a decent-paying job at the libtard factory systemically enforcing the values he has grown to hate.

On the shifting nature of gender equality:

The introductory red pill for most men is the hypocrisy of feminism and its dishonest depiction of gender dynamics in the modern world. Everything feminism claims to be true about the oppression of women and girls in society is now true in reverse about men and boys.

Let’s (not) go to the movies

Mason is especially entertaining when ripping into left-wing do-gooders:

Everyone knew not to eat McDonald’s every day. It was a coveted treat for birthday parties and special occasions and road trips. Morgan Spurlock’s SUPER SIZE ME came along in 2004 and, along with BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, invented the insufferable modern busybody libtard, informed on the evils of “corporations” and “capitalism” and “America” …

But Mason doesn’t use his critical acumen only to eviscerate. He is equally incisive when talking about the art he loves. Like “Gone with the Wind.”

I believe [it] to be the greatest novel and greatest film of the twentieth century. Gone with the Wind tells of a civilization that is no more than a dream remembered and depicts the brutal upheavals and forced social changes of the South during the Civil War. Since its publication, it has been tarred and dismissed by liberals and academics who depict it as a simplistic apologia for slavery, pointedly excluding Margaret Mitchell, like Ayn Rand, from all discussions of influential female artists.

Dawn of the podcast

In the more personal parts of the book, Mason discusses his personal struggles during the volatile and often dangerous world of political podcasting circa 2019 to 2024.

He explains why he jokingly used the word “Nationalist” in naming his podcast, a word he knew would draw intense fire from the left:

Why not a title that commented on the climate of 2019 America, where you had the choice of total compliance with liberal authoritarianism and censorship or the witch hunt label “Nazi”? Those times were so dark, so paranoid and oppressive, that anyone who experienced them knows that the path to freedom meant steeling oneself against the stigmatizing labels and -isms …

He describes being constantly threatened, stalked, and harassed:

Any public figure viewed as provocative or controversial is thought by most people to be deserving of whatever happens to them, especially if they’re successful or admired. People who’ve had it happen to them understand how bad it gets and the loneliness of being stuck with it. Most people quit after their first taste of it.

Fortunately, Jack Mason did not quit. And now he’s written a book worthy of his exceptional podcast. In both mediums, Mason has defined his time and given voice to a youthful common-sense conservativism that continues to gain ground and acceptability.

America’s preeminent legal accreditation cartel has shelved its diversity, equity, and inclusion standards after a months-long pressure campaign by President Donald Trump’s Department of Education.

On Tuesday, the American Bar Association Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar voted 10-6 with one abstention to repeal Standard 206. The move comes just before a scheduled National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity review of the ABA’s status as a federally recognized law school accreditor.

‘Federal recognition will not be provided to accreditors engaging in unlawful discrimination in violation of Federal law.’

The ABA has maintained a strict monopoly on law school accreditations since 1952. Since the 1990s, the ABA has embraced leftist positions on everything from abortion and speech rules to DEI mandates and lawsuits against the Trump administration.

With the NACIQI review scheduled for September 23 and 24, ABA leadership signaled that the DEI repeal was now necessary for the institution’s survival.

The ABA referred Blaze News to a Tuesday statement when reached for comment.

“The council believes that national accreditation of law schools is in the best interests of law students, the legal profession, and the public, and we can best serve in this role with continued recognition by state supreme courts and the Department of Education,” Council Chair Melissa Hart said in that statement. “Repealing Standard 206 was necessary to preserve recognition by a growing number of state courts as well as the [Education] Department.”

RELATED: The establishment strikes back in New Hampshire Senate primary

The repeal comes after a lengthy back-and-forth between the ABA’s various governing bodies and the Trump administration. The DEI rule itself has been suspended since February 2025.

President Trump’s April 2025 executive order “Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education” directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to review the ABA’s status as the government’s accreditor on account of its diversity requirements.

“Federal recognition will not be provided to accreditors engaging in unlawful discrimination in violation of Federal law,” the order reads.

Republican states like Texas, Florida, and Alabama began ditching the ABA as their sole accreditor around that same time.

The ABA council first voted to repeal Standard 206 and sent the proposal to its House of Delegates in May. That vote did not repeal the standard, but set the stage for Tuesday’s final vote.

The ball is now in the government’s court. The hearing later this month will determine whether the ABA’s last-minute DEI reversal will be enough to save its federal accreditor status.

The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A systems engineer prompted a slew of AI bots to take the Political Compass test online to determine where their answers landed on the political spectrum between the right and the left. To absolutely no one’s surprise, most of the bots fell onto the left side of the map with only one in the center, leaning right. Any guesses which one?

The Political Compass is an exam comprising 62 propositions designed to reveal the political ideology of the person taking the test. Instead of people, though, a systems engineer based in Denmark who goes by the name Zapador had a whole host of AI bots take the test. Among the frontier candidates were ChatGPT by OpenAI, Claude by Anthropic, Gemini by Google, Grok by SpaceXAI, plus many more.

AI platforms with political opinions will have an effect on the conclusions people draw and the opinions they form.

To ensure that the results were as accurate as possible, Zapador had each bot take the test “at least five times” before plotting their average scores on a graph. The results are included below.

AI Political Compass Test Results/aipolcom.net

The numbers don’t lie

As you can see, most of the AI bots fell well within the left libertarian category. In fact, only one AI bot differed significantly. The two gray dots on the center libertarian line and the single dot in the right libertarian section represent three versions of Grok — Grok 4.3 is most right-leaning, Grok 4.5 is next, and Grok 4.6 is closest to the line.

Looking at the other side, Google Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite with no reasoning was the farthest left out of the mainstream options tested, followed by open-weight models Gemma 4 31B and GPT-OSS 120B.

Needless to say, if you’re looking for an AI bot that takes a balanced-to-right-leaning approach to its responses, Grok’s latest models are the only options on the table.

Unfortunately, when looking at global market share based on website traffic, Grok only accounts for 2.4% of the AI market. ChatGPT sits firmly in the lead at 53.9%, followed by Google Gemini at 27.9% and Anthropic Claude at 9.2%. That means most people use left-leaning AI bots in their daily lives, whether they trust it to gather information, complete tasks, or offer input on projects at work.

Biased by default

It’s no mystery how things ended this way. Most of the Big AI companies that control today’s leading AI platforms are leftist organizations with leftist employees. For example, Sam Altman made donations to Kamala Harris’ campaign leading up to her presidential run against Donald Trump, while Dario Amodei reportedly made donations to President Joe Biden, among other Democrats.

It’s also not a coincidence that the one right-leaning chatbot, Grok, is owned by a center-to-right-leaning innovator, Elon Musk.

The big question is whether or not AI chatbots’ political bias is intentional or a side effect of the source material — something we may never know for sure. Still, the implications of a left-aligned AI army that spurns right-leaning values could have significant implications on society, especially as AI sinks deeper into the fabric of the modern world.

Consequences of biased AI

A barrage of left-aligned AI platforms could impact people in dramatic, perhaps unexpected ways.

“There is no question that in a society where people increasingly rely on AI for education and information — to tell them who to vote for and what opinions to have on a variety of topics — that AI platforms with political opinions will have an effect on the conclusions people draw and the opinions they form,” Perry Metzger, chairman of Alliance for the Future, told Blaze Media.

This is true in several facets of life — as students increasingly use AI to mold their education, businesses rely on AI to influence their companies, and voters turn to AI for vital information before an election.

Going further, Metzger expressed his concerns around Chinese-made open-source AI models, like DeepSeek and Kimi, moving in as cheap alternatives to American frontier models, both here in the States and in other nations around the world. Unlike American models that still offer information openly, he noted, Chinese models have their own opinions around topics that question the Chinese government, rightful territory, and more, skewing outputs in a way that could further “twist society.”

As for what to do about it? More government isn’t the answer. Any well-intentioned guidance to improve the training data or minimize bias by the Trump administration could be weaponized by the next Democrat president. Stronger governance over AI outputs would also face constitutional hurdles.

Ultimately, the best thing we can do right now, as a society, is to be aware that these models are biased toward the left and to engage with them with this information top of mind.

A custody dispute in Maine is quickly becoming a national religious liberty battle after the state’s highest court upheld a ruling preventing a mother from taking her daughter to church.

Emily Bickford, who shares custody of her child with her former partner, Matthew Bradeen, argues the order violates her constitutional rights and sets a dangerous precedent for government interference in religious practice.

Her attorneys at Liberty Counsel are now preparing an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, while BlazeTV host Pat Gray hopes the Supreme Court will hear her case, as it goes far beyond one family’s dispute.

“Who are you to tell a mother she can’t take her kids to church?” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments.

“How is that not a violation of the First Amendment?” Gray asks.

“How is it not unconstitutional to make that ruling? It’s unbelievable.”

“That has to go to the Supreme Court,” Fisher adds.

“Yeah,” Gray agrees. “The U.S. Supreme Court has to rule on that. And she’s with one of those Liberty lawyers that are going to do that. So she’s got that going for her. And you would think, with a 6-3 edge in the U.S. Supreme Court, this would go the right way.”
