Nvidia (NVDA) said it plans to resume sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chip to China, days after its CEO, who is visiting Beijing, met US President Donald Trump. Nvidia’s AI chips have been a key focus of US export controls designed to keep the most advanced chips out of Chinese hands amid national security concerns, restrictions that the US-listed company said would cut its revenue by $15 billion. The world’s most valuable firm is filing applications with the US government to resume sales to China of the H20 graphics processing unit (GPU), and expects to get the licenses soon, Nvidia said in a statement. “The US government has assured NVIDIA

The Department of Defense (DOD) announced that it had awarded contracts to several artificial intelligence (AI) companies, such as Elon Musk’s xAI, Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI. In a press release, the DOD’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) revealed that “leading U.S. frontier AI companies” had been awarded contracts in order to “accelerate” the DOD’s “adoption of advanced AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges.” The awards to the companies each had a “$200M ceiling,” according to the press release: The awards to Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI – each with a $200M ceiling – will enable the Department to leverage the technology and talent

The Lone Star State has boosted tax incentives for Hollywood to $300 million every two years, with guaranteed funding for ten years. According to my public school math, that’s $1.5 billion in corporate welfare for an industry that hates Texas, hates Texans, and opposes tax cuts for everyone else. Why do this? Texas has two reasons, per the far-left Los Angeles Times… Well, first off, Texas believes Hollywood business boosts other businesses — hotels, restaurants, etc. Okay, but what business doesn’t boost other businesses? Nothing makes film, TV, and advertising uniquely special in this regard. Here’s what drives me insane about this rationalization to give taxpayer-funded handouts to people who hate taxpayers, especially Texas taxpayers.

This time it’s real, and undeniable. The Democrats have for years denied, with varying degrees of scorn or anger, that they are Communists, despite hating both free enterprise and borders, which are just the sorts of things you’d expect socialist internationalists to hate. Now, however, the deniability is no longer even close to plausible. As the Democrat candidates move ever farther to the left, it’s clear: a spectre is haunting the Democrats. The spectre of Communism. Back in 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published “The Manifesto of the Communist Party,” which began grandly, or ominously, depending on your point of view, with this statement: “A spectre

Minneapolis may be getting its own version of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. State Sen. Omar Fateh, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist and the first Somali American and Muslim to serve in the Minnesota Senate, is running for mayor of Minneapolis on a platform of pro-illegal immigration, anti-police, and anti-Israel policies. Fateh (D), who once accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) of white supremacy for opposing taxpayer-funded college for illegal aliens, is running for mayor of Minneapolis. He has advanced far-left legislation, including a proposal to provide free college tuition to households earning under $80,000 a year, regardless of their documentation status, which he defended as necessary to expand opportunities for “all Minnesotans.”

2.1 million people live in Gaza, and a new judicial ruling in France gives every single one of them the right to move to France. If I were Bibi Netanyahu, I would buy every single one of them a plane ticket and wave goodbye as they took their free trip to Paris. If I were a Gazan, I would accept that free ticket and get on the first plane, hoping that the free room and board will allow me to enjoy my time there. The decision is absurd, of course, but perfectly consistent with the law. France’s top asylum court has ruled that all Palestinians

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with plans to carry out mass layoffs at the Department of Education that were blocked by a federal judge. The conservative-majority court, without any explanation, granted an emergency application from the administration that blocks the federal judge's ruling. The court's three liberal members objected, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing a blistering dissenting opinion. "When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it," she wrote.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday threatened Russia with steep tariffs and announced a rejuvenated pipeline for American weapons to reach Ukraine, hardening his stance toward Moscow after months of frustration about unsuccessful negotiations for ending the war. The latest steps reflect an evolving approach from the Republican president, who promised to swiftly resolve the war Russian President Vladimir Putin started when he invaded Ukraine three years ago. Trump has often criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for allowing the war to happen but more recently has expressed growing irritation toward Putin. “It just keeps going on and on and on,” Trump said. “Every night, people are dying.”

Pardons approved for high-profile names such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley by former President Joe Biden were signed in a last-minute flurry by an autopen, according to a new report. Pardons analyzed by the New York Times through an extensive review of staff emails and a short interview with Biden himself, include January 6th committee figures, some of Biden's family members, and also encompass other controversial individuals such as Fauci and Milley. Fauci became a lightning rod for criticism during the COVID-19 crisis. According to critics, the good doctor perjured himself

It's been a dramatic weekend, with both sides of the aisle trying to make fetch happen: The influencers who pretend to be MAGA (and some who actually are) are demanding the resignation of Attorney General Pam Bondi after her mishandling and doublespeak surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Democrats and the Left are trying their darndest to create a narrative that Trump is hiding these files because he is not only named in the records, but complicit in Epstein's crimes. This is patently stupid. With all that they have and still are throwing at Trump, if he had any connection to Epstein and his crimes,

On Sunday, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem appeared on "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" to discuss the recent flooding in Texas, along with the horrible human cost of that event. The "Meet the Press" anchor also asked several questions about the ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to detain and repatriate illegal aliens, including last week's raid on a California pot farm. Now, NBC isn't particularly friendly ground for Trump administration officials at the best of times, but Secretary Noem handled it adroitly enough; Kristen Welker's occasional attempts at a "gotcha" fell flat. Here are a few highlights. First, on the federal response:

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Washington will send Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine amid mounting Russian aggression and waning patience with Vladimir Putin. "We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need," Trump said while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews. "I haven't agreed on the number yet, but they're going to have some because they do need protection."//snip//According to a report by Axios, Trump is set to unveil an “aggressive” new military aid package for Ukraine. This will likely include long-range offensive weapons capable of striking targets deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow.
