Bipartisan Lawmakers Introduce Bill Requiring Human Control over AI Weapons

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers introduced legislation on Friday aimed at ensuring human decisionmaking remains central to the use of lethal force by AI-enabled military systems.

Axios reports that Reps. Tom Barrett (R-MI), Don Beyer (D-VA), and Sara Jacobs (D-CA), have put forward the Human Authority over Autonomous Weapons Act. The legislation seeks to establish legal requirements for human oversight of autonomous and AI-powered weapon systems deployed by the United States military.

The proposed bill mandates that the Pentagon ensure any intentionally lethal use of an autonomous or AI-enabled weapon system must be subject to human oversight, approval, or maintain a human-in-the-loop protocol. This requirement would apply across military operations where autonomous systems might be employed for lethal purposes.

Under the legislation’s provisions, military commanders would be required to verify AI-generated targets using non-AI sources for a period of five years following the bill’s enactment. This verification requirement aims to provide a safeguard against potential errors or unintended consequences from AI target identification systems. The bill does include an exemption for missile defense systems.

The legislative effort comes as lawmakers from both political parties seek to establish legal frameworks governing the military’s use of AI, particularly as autonomous weapons systems become increasingly prevalent in modern warfare scenarios. While the Pentagon currently maintains existing policy requiring appropriate levels of human judgment over the use of force, this bill would codify human oversight requirements into federal law, making them legally binding rather than administrative policy.

The introduction of this legislation follows several notable developments in the military AI space. Earlier this year, the Pentagon’s use of AI during the raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro created tensions with Anthropic regarding the firm’s established boundaries concerning autonomous weapons and mass surveillance applications, ultimately leading to a legal war between the company and the Pentagon. That incident highlighted growing concerns about how AI technologies are being deployed in military contexts and the ethical considerations surrounding such use.

Disgraced Hunter Biden Believes the Biggest Problem in America Is Not the ‘Oligarchy,’ but the ‘Gay Mafia Largely Republican’ Running Washington, D.C.

In yet another unhinged rant, disgraced Hunter Biden declared on the “I’ve Had It” podcast that the biggest problem facing America isn’t oligarchs, inflation, open borders, or the wreckage of his father’s presidency, it’s a secret “closetocracy” of closeted gay Republicans allegedly running Washington D.C.

The former crack addict delivered the wild accusation with a straight face, claiming he “lived there for 20 years” and “knows for certain.”

Hunter Biden:
“I believe that the biggest problem in America, as in Washington, D.C., with the federal government, is not the oligarchy. It’s the closetocracy, as I call it. It is. And I’m being totally serious.

Everybody knows there is this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in Washington, D.C., and everybody knows every single one of them who’s gay.

And so it’s—what I believe, the only reason that is relevant, is because I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitriol inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world. And they do. So what they do is, their whole lives, they’ve been closeted, and so you have this black ball inside yourself, this blackened heart, because you can’t be who you want to be.

Washington D.C. has been under near-total Democrat control for decades. A Democrat mayor, Democrat city council, and a federal bureaucracy that overwhelmingly leans left.

Yet Hunter Biden wants Americans to believe the real power behind the curtain is some phantom “largely Republican” gay mafia pulling the strings and spreading “vitriol.”

This is rich coming from the Biden crime family. The same family that has spent years shielding Hunter from accountability while the media and Big Tech colluded to bury the laptop story. The same family that has presided over chaos at the border, lawfare against conservatives, and the erosion of American energy independence.

House Dems Suddenly Mum When Confronted By Radical Democratic Socialists of America Plans to Destroy Key Institutions

The Gateway Pundit reported on a recent interview with Gustavo Gordillo is the co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City.

Speaking with Fox News host Martha MacCallum, DSA tried to clarify its position on abolishing key institutions in the United States, including eliminating the Senate and replacing the President and Supreme Court with “an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.”

From DSA’s website:

For the working class to govern, we need a new political system. End political corruption and legalized bribery: get rid of lobbyists, dark money, and Citizens United, and publicly finance all elections. Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

During the discussion, Gordillo showed that he does not even understand the difference between the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives, nor does he understand the system of government he and his fellow radicals are so eager to destroy.

“The United States Senate is an undemocratic institution. It gives more representation to people in smaller states than to the 30 million people in California.”

The Yale graduate apparently thinks the founders created a democracy.  They did not and that was done with forethought.  We are a constitutional Republic.

Crazed Teachers Union President Randi Weingarten Jumping and Screaming as She LOSES IT at Teachers Convention, Says Trump Makes Her Want to Drink Vodka

Teachers Union President Randi Weingarten railed against Trump at the American Federation of Teachers national convention in Washington, DC, jumping up and down as she screamed. 

Per American Federation of Teachers:

Delivering her State of the Union address before thousands of educators, healthcare professionals and public employees at the AFT’s national convention in Washington, D.C., AFT President Randi Weingarten delivered a powerful message: “We will change the trajectory of this nation and secure a better future for all.”

Calling on delegates to harness “the power of the people,” Weingarten said unions remain one of the few forces capable of standing up to concentrated wealth and political power.

“Yes, the other side has enormous power,” she said. “But this is what they don’t have: The power of the people.”

She also drew a stark moral contrast between the needs of working families and the Trump administration’s policies, which have been marked by attacks on the institutions and rights working people rely on to build secure and dignified lives—including public education and collective bargaining. She invoked Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the “‘beloved community’—an America where hate has no home.” That, she said, is the difference between the values of the labor movement and the administration’s policies. “We use our power for good—against chaos, cruelty and corruption,” she said.

At one point, she said, “Oh, and one more thing: we get sh*t done.”

During a panel discussion on Friday, the educator said that her TDS is so bad that it makes her drink.

“What Donald Trump does, whether you consider him an authoritarian or not, is the throwing out of so much stuff that people just throw up their hands and say, ‘Oh no, what are we going to— All I want to do is stay home,’ and for those of us who drink, have a glass of wine, or for me, some vodka,” she said.

Transgender candidate hoping to replace Graham Platner in Maine Senate race cites songwriting as a qualification

A transgender-identifying candidate drew widespread attention on social media after entering Maine’s Senate race to replace former Democrat nominee Graham Platner, who dropped out while facing sexual assault allegations.

Ashley Webb caused a social media storm on Thursday after highlighting being a songwriter as a qualification for the United States Senate during a Democrat Maine Senate Debate held by News Center Maine.

When each candidate was given a chance to introduce themselves, Webb said, “The biggest thing I’d like to get across is that we need unity. Whoever wins this nomination, we need to show up at the polls, we need to vote for them, and we need to make sure they win, no matter what. Because what’s going on in this country is not right with the… with the immigration and immigrants are being targeted. They’re being rounded up like animals. It’s not acceptable to allow this to go on in our streets.”

“And then with the trans community, like we’re being dehumanized,” Webb continued. “They say that we want to hurt people. I don’t want to hurt anybody, I just want to use the bathroom. And if they want me to use the men’s room, I will, but I don’t want to be assaulted.”

“And as far as, like, this … what happened in Biddeford, it’s unacceptable. We knew since January that … what ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] has been doing with Alex and Renee,” Webb concluded as a tear fell, referring to the officer-involved shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and Johan Sebastián Guerrero.

The moderators, journalists Rob Caldwell and Phil Hirschkorn, then asked each candidate what qualifications they have for the “extremely important” job of serving in Congress.

“Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn’t win, but I did run,” the Democrat candidate joked. “And then I’m a songwriter and then I write my own books and then I suppose my transparency. I wouldn’t lie to people and I wouldn’t deceive the people like we’re being deceived right now.”

Webb characterized “what’s going on with ICE” as “smoke and mirrors,” arguing that supporters of federal immigration enforcement are “pretending like these victims did something wrong.”

“I suppose the biggest thing is, like, I’m just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected, I’d be an angry senator and I think that would probably be their worst nightmare,” Webb said.

Later in the debate, when asked for specific solutions to address the nearly $40 trillion in national debt and approximately $1.37 trillion annual deficit, Webb suggested cutting government spending, specifically citing President Donald Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which was reported to cost about $16 million, according to ABC News.

DSA Activist Linda Sarsour Wants to Replace the Declaration of Independence With Something That Reflects the Values of the Radical Left

Do you remember Linda Sarsour? She was very active in left wing politics during Trump’s first term. She became a leader of the ‘Women’s March’ movement but was ejected after they realized that she is a raging Jew-hater. It’s part of what led to the group’s downfall.

With the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), she has returned. Her views make her a perfect fit for this radical mob.

In a recent video address to her supporters, she fantasized about replacing the Declaration of Independence with something that would better reflect the values of the left.

BizPac Review has details:

A resurfaced video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) Islamist accountability partner sparked condemnation and further proved Hizzoner to be a “Trojan Horse” for extremists in America…

While too many leaders have turned a blind eye to what essentially amounts to an invasion through democratic naivety, activists like Linda Sarsour have been forthright in expressing intent to supplant the Declaration of Independence with “a document that is our values …”

Pulled from her remarks on a Working Families Party mass call from March 2026, Canary Mission began circulating Sarsour’s view ahead of America’s semiquincentennial that found NewsNation host Katie Pavlich suggesting she “GTFO.”

“… the question historically is gonna be, what were we doing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence? What is our generation building?” posited the activist. “And as we know with the Declaration of Independence, really what it was, was a bunch of white guys 250 years ago who sat around and developed a document they called the Declaration of Independence.”

“The question is, can we build something different? Do we have the audacity to sit around and say that we want to build a document that is our values and our principles, and bring millions of Americans around it and say to them, put the politics to the side, put the political parties to the side,” she went on before presenting leftist talking points.

When Socialists Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them

In a Zoom video call in 2023, a leader of the Democratic Socialists of America said, “Our goal is communism.”  It was published as part of a compilation in April 2026.

None of the Democratic Socialists disavowed it.  Nobody posted a “clarifying statement” distancing the DSA from that statement.

So that’s who they are.  Their goal is communism.

The name of that leader is David Jenkins.  He’s a member of the DSA’s National Political Committee, so he ought to know.  

He told us who they are, so we should believe him.

Extreme leftist candidates (including DSA candidates) from past elections include

  • AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, and Pramila Jayapal.
  • Cory Booker, Ayanna Pressley, Bernie Sanders, and Cori Bush.

Extreme leftist DSA candidates who have popped up in the current cycle:

  • James Talarico in the Senate, who has embraced every nutball LGBTQ/trans theory on the planet, wrapped up in a sugary faux Christian coating.
  • Graham Platner was also running for Senate, after everyone knew about his Nazi tattoo, his active social media account at a site notorious for pedophiles chatting with little kids, and multiple credible allegations from conservative ex-girlfriends.  Platner was finally taken down by another credible allegation, this time from a liberal ex.
  • In the House, a whole tribe of new candidates, including a sociology Ph.D. candidate who started a new “Death to America” campus club, a former associate of the “Blind Sheikh” who masterminded an early bombing attack on the World Trade Center (WTC), and people who think we deserved 9/11.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Their strategy is to primary more moderate Dems and take as many of the Democrats’ “safe seats” as possible.  In such races, any actual competition is purely intramural, between Democrat factions.  Republicans always lose these races in November, and sometimes they don’t even bother to run a candidate.  The real battle is the Democrats’ primary.

Cori Bush is the only one from the initial DSA wave of 2016–2022 who “washed out,” by winning primaries for a few years, then losing one to a mainstream Dem.  Clearly, she’s being candid about her DSA identity while she’s trying to get back into House of Representatives.

Recently, her campaign posted a group photo from a July 8 meeting of the St. Louis DSA chapter, showing her next to a communist “influencer” named Christopher Winston.  He calls himself “BlackRedGuard” online and identifies as a Maoist.

This guy thinks landlords should be shot.  He’s suggested he would “execute” a political rival.

From Daily Wire:

Winston can be seen standing next to Bush with a shirt reading “armed minorities.” …

“I’m so proud to have DSA by my side, united in our fight against price gouging, big real estate, and billionaires influencing our politics,” [Bush] said. …

During a stream in March 2024, Winston said that “we’re going to execute you after the revolution” in response to a video leftist activist Shaun King made discussing fraud accusations. Winston said that he hoped that cancer “eats” King’s “a**hole out” and called him an “albino snake.”

In other appearances, Winston argued that “burning a Waymo is not political violence” and argued that landlords should be greeted by “a strongly worded letter in the form of a very hot piece of metal.” …

In other statements, Winston pledged to seize homes from landowners and argued that “the ultimate form of international solidarity is to make revolution in the United States.”

“Communists don’t want to take away your house. We’ll cancel your mortgage. You can have one house, not a dozen. Excess properties will be taken from landlords and distributed to actual families to live in,” he said in one recent post.

When they honestly tell you such things about themselves, believe them.

None of these people thinks America’s institutions have a right to exist in their present form.  America’s institutions, they say, must be torn down and rebuilt into a more diverse socialist/DIE paradise.  These are people who think the destruction of the WTC on 9/11 was not only well deserved, but necessary.  And they think borders shouldn’t exist.

To illustrate this glorious revolutionary mindset, they’re whining about Elon Musk being the world’s first trillionaire.  But I don’t think they would have objected if Hunter Biden had been the world’s first trillionaire.  They have zero interest in cleaning up any of the fraud, greed, waste, graft, and corruption among Democrats.

None of these people thinks Israel has a right to exist at all.  Every square inch of Israel, they say, belongs to the glorious and noble Palestinian people, represented by Hamas and Hezb’allah.  And we found out on October 7, 2023 how that would end.

Cori Bush and other DSA luminaries haven’t distanced themselves from any of Winston’s statements, or challenged the authenticity of that Jenkins video clip.  Their goal is communism.

Mamdani Shows How Clueless He is When Asked About Border and Immigration Policy but Can Only Attack ICE, Admits He’s Never Been to the Border

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani humiliated himself in a Saturday interview with the far-left New York Times, showing how clueless he is about immigration and how unoriginal and empty his policy position is. 

During an interview with the New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Mamdani was asked, perhaps for the first time, what he thinks America’s immigration policy should be.

While noting that Darializa Avila Chevalier, one of Mamdani’s endorsed candidates for US Congress in the midterms, “rejects all deportations even of violent criminals” and refers to Borders as a “philosophical concept,” Garcia-Navarro asked for his proposals now that he’s stepping into federal races.

“How do you view, for example, the issue of border security? What border policy should America have? You know, should immigrants be able to claim asylum at the US-Mexico border? Should they be able to enter the country while their claims are being reviewed?” she asked.

But Mamdani gave a word salad answer, pandering to illegal aliens and claiming ICE has “terrorized Americans across this country and others that live in this country.”

“When we talk about immigration, it’s often bandied about as just a political subject for debate,” he said before ironically spewing his radical left-wing political talking points about “legality, consistency, and humanity” and not giving any actual answer.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz Pours Cold Water on Mamdani’s Plans to Arrest Netanyahu in New York City

As the Gateway Pundit has reported, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is kicking around the idea of arresting Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu the next time he is in the city.

This is nothing more than fantasy lip-service to Mamdani’s supporters who hate Israel with the heat of a thousand suns. It’s red meat for the ‘Free Palestine!’ mob.

It’s also further proof that Mamdani thinks that New York City is a separate, sovereign country and that he believes he is above federal laws.

To be clear, Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City, has absolutely ZERO authority to arrest Netanyahu.

America’s ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz is already pointing out that this entire thing is a non-starter.

RedState reports:

UN Ambassador Bursts Mamdani’s Bubble Over His Wish to Arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu in NYC

When will the members of the far-Left cabal learn?

New York City, as the home of the United Nations headquarters, is hosting the U.N. General Assembly in the fall. And Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed during a recent interview with a New York Times interviewer that he’s holding onto a deeply-held wish and campaign promise: to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested when the world leader arrives in his city to attend it.

Well, we do still have the First Amendment, so I say let him talk. Someone else with thoughts on Mamdani’s empty threat was U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, who only needed four bullet points to dispense with the mayor’s obvious “political theater”…

This is the text of Waltz’s tweet below:

Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:
1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,
3. head-of-state immunity applies, &
4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.

This is pure political theater.

Unacceptable and Dangerous: Georgetown’s China Initiative Gives CCP-Linked Groups Access to Future US Policymakers

In the latest anti-American move made by American academic institutions, Campus Reform is reporting “Georgetown University has spent the last decade building one of the nation’s most prominent China-focused academic pipelines while receiving tens of millions of dollars in Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked funding and nearly $1.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts since 1992.”

This is outrageous and dangerous in light of President Trump’s address Thursday night to the nation and the revelations of what the CCP engaged in.

President Trump has argued that China interfered in our elections.

The CCP or Chinese Communist Party has sought to undermine America from within at every turn.

Georgetown has raked in billions from foreign governments. Georgetown increased tuition prices for hard-working American families. This fall, undergraduate tuition will cost American students $74,520 before room, board, and fees are factored in, more than doubling since 2006.”

This is outrageous and unacceptable.

“The university has also helped create opportunities for Chinese state-linked institutions and CCP-tied organizations to gain access to the next generation of U.S. policymakers in Washington, D.C.”

If this seems like a recipe for disaster its because it is.

“The university’s Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues was launched in 2016 with a $10 million “gift” from the Hong Kong-based Spring Breeze Foundation. A 2020 Department of Education Section 117 report stated that Spring Breeze was financed by CP Group and noted the company’s extensive commercial relationships with the CCP. ”

According to this student writing at Campus Reform, this is not a typical exchange program but rather a subversive CCP initiative.

“By 2019, the initiative had launched five research groups, supported 43 student fellows, organized 16 U.S.-China workshops, produced 23 podcasts, funded graduate study tours in China, and hosted 35 public events. ”

“Georgetown has charged families premium prices for access to elite civic and policy leadership opportunities while simultaneously building channels for CCP-linked institutions to reach the students most likely to enter American government, diplomacy, law, and national security work.”

This is ominous; there should be exactly 0 cooperative programs that give the CCP any access or benefit from our universities, as they clearly cannot be trusted.
