What is a Christian Zionist? A lot of people have opinions about Christian Zionism, but many don’t truly understand what it means or what those of us who hold this view actually believe. Too often we allow others to define the term for us. So it helps to begin by clearing away some common misconceptions. Being a Christian Zionist does not mean blindly supporting every decision made by the Israeli government. Nor, does it mean offering unconditional or uncritical acceptance to every policy issuing out of the Knesset. It does not mean excusing injustice, nor does it mean ignoring the...

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says AI will upend society and that even people in tech underestimate "how disruptive these technologies are." "If you are going to disrupt the economic and, therefore, political power significantly of one party's base, highly educated, often female voters who vote mostly Democrat, and military and working class people who do not feel supported, and you feel like that's, you believe that that's going to work out politically — you're in an insane asylum," Karp told CNBC on Thursday on the sidelines of AIPCon 9 in Maryland. Karp said that, since AI will largely disrupt white-collar...

The second edition of the Malta Biennale opened in previews this week, and it was not without controversy.

According to a press release from Women on Waves, the banner was altered, at the Biennale’s request, to read Do You Need a Safe Abortion?, with the word Pills crossed out. The nonprofit said organizers then informed...

In an important step for both planetary defense and childhood imaginations everywhere, a recent scientific study has confirmed that NASA rammed an asteroid hard enough to change its trajectory. The ramming actually occurred all the way back in 2022, when the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft, built by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory on behalf of NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, deliberately smashed itself into an asteroid's moon. Yes, the half-mile wide asteroid Didymos has a moon of its own, a little baby asteroid named Dimorphos. The study concludes that NASA punched the tiny guy so hard that...

Jay Murray (JZ DeLorean) @Stainless31 · Follow Shomer Yisrael has been revealed as the hero who engaged the terrorist rat-bastard and eliminated him; saving 140 children.

Diplomacy is an instrument of strategy that great powers use to survive and gain an advantage in competition with other powerful states. Excellence in diplomacy is a vital prerequisite to the success and endurance of great powers. Diplomatic skills atrophied in the United States after the end of the Cold War, as we came to rely on military technology and economic sanctions as the main tools of our foreign policy. But now we are entering a dangerous age in which great powers are competing for the things they have competed over from the beginning of time: territory, resources, influence, and...

Research suggests compounds in foods like blackberries and kale can influence brain chemistry tied to motivation and activity — another reminder that what we eat affects more than we realize.Key Takeaways: -A 2025 study suggests that astringent, flavanol-rich foods like berries and red wine may stimulate the nervous system through their puckering taste, potentially triggering physiological responses similar to moderate exercise. -In the study, mice given oral doses of flavanols exhibited increased physical activity, greater exploration, and improved learning and memory compared to a control group. -Researchers also observed elevated levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and related compounds associated with motivation,...

In March 2020, on a Libyan battlefield, civilization may have crossed an ominous threshold. Turkish-made autonomous drones reportedly “hunted down and ​. . . ​engaged” retreating forces loyal to General Khalifa Haftar with no human guidance. According to a UN-commissioned report, those lethal autonomous weapons were “programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true ‘fire, forget and find’ capability.” That was no theoretical scenario devised by military analysts or ethicists. Nor was it a scene from a Hollywood sci-fi thriller about rogue killer robots. It was a real occurrence, one...
