An Anthropic researcher is quitting the artificial-intelligence industry over fears that the lab and its competitors are racing to build systems they won’t be able to control, a sign of mounting safety concerns within top AI companies.

Jacob Coxon, a researcher who specializes in training new AI models by having them consume vast amounts of data, said Tuesday that he is leaving the company because he doesn’t want to participate in an industrywide rush to build AI systems that can improve themselves, worried such systems could spiral out of control and destroy humanity.

The 27-year old Brit, who previously studied mathematics, said many of his industry colleagues now use phrases like “crunchtime” and “endgame” to describe the trajectory toward self-improving models.

Highlights and Bullet Points From Republican Mid-Term Convention

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday, September 9

  • Trump presented his administration’s economic and domestic-policy record. His speech covered tax cuts, immigration enforcement, domestic oil and gas production, and prescription-drug pricing. He credited his administration with increased energy production and highlighted its “most favored nation” approach to drug prices. These were the accomplishments he presented to the audience; the speech itself does not independently establish every numerical claim.
  • He announced a proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend.” Trump said every adult U.S. citizen would receive the payment if Republicans retained both the House and Senate. He also said the money would have to be spent in the United States. This was a proposed payment announced in his speech, not an enacted benefit. He repeated the proposal Thursday.
  • Texas’s Senate contest received considerable attention. Ken Paxton presented his economic message, thanked Trump, and criticized Democratic opponent James Talarico. Trump subsequently highlighted Paxton’s candidacy and pledged to return to Texas to campaign for him. Representative Brandon Gill also devoted part of his remarks to Talarico and other Democratic candidates.
  • John Fetterman appeared in a recorded introduction for Dave McCormick.The Democratic Pennsylvania senator praised his Republican colleague and discussed working together with Trump on Pennsylvania’s steel industry. Fetterman identified himself as a Democrat in the message. McCormick thanked him when he came onstage. C-SPAN video
  • The program connected policy themes to individual families and workers. It included border residents Wanda and Ron Liptow; National Border Patrol Council president Paul Perez; manufacturing workers appearing with McCormick; and Laken Riley’s family appearing with Mike Collins. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Dr. Mehmet Oz were also on Wednesday’s program. Oz’s remarks emphasized healthcare affordability. Official program, Night-one transcript

Thursday, September 10—the evening you attended

  • Vance’s keynote emphasized party unity despite policy disagreements. He defended the administration’s record and asked Republicans who disagreed with particular decisions to remain engaged in the midterms. He also criticized Democratic candidates and discussed family, faith, and national identity. The audience greeted him with chants of his name. A protester carrying a Mexican flag interrupted the address and was escorted out.
  • Kennedy explained his political break with the Democratic Party and alliance with Trump. He discussed his family’s Democratic history and argued that the party had departed from its earlier values. His remarks addressed pandemic restrictions, constitutional rights, corporate influence, immigration, and women’s sports. He also recalled his 2024 presidential campaign and credited Charlie Kirk with helping bring him and Trump together. His health-policy discussion centered on the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda and childhood chronic disease. FOX 4’s full Kennedy speech and summary
  • Mayor Eric Johnson focused on public safety and Dallas’s economic development. He explained his move from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in terms of policing, business policy, and city government. He discussed efforts to expand the police department, reduce crime and homelessness, and attract financial businesses. He used the phrase “Y’all Street” for his vision of Dallas as a financial center and contrasted his approach with policies in several Democratic-led cities. Full speech and FOX Local reporting
  • Ted Cruz addressed religion, the Constitution, and what he described as Islamist influence. He argued against incorporating Sharia into American law and characterized parts of the Democratic coalition as hostile to Christians, Jews, capitalism, and constitutional principles. Those were Cruz’s characterizations of his political opponents. Mike Rogers, Michigan’s Republican Senate nominee, also criticized his opponent’s association with commentator Hasan Piker, including Piker’s positions concerning Israel.
  • The Charlie Kirk remembrance marked the anniversary of his killing. The convention showed a roughly five-minute memorial video. Vance spoke about Kirk’s influence and invoked his memory while appealing for Republican unity. Donald Trump Jr. also addressed Kirk’s legacy.
  • September 11 remembrance was part of the evening’s program. On the eve of the attacks’ 25th anniversary, the schedule included a commemorative segment and Tunnel to Towers chairman and CEO Frank Siller. Other scheduled speakers included House Speaker Mike Johnson, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Representative Mike Lawler, Karoline Leavitt, and Donald Trump Jr. Thursday program
  • Trump closed by asking supporters to turn out for congressional candidates.He urged the audience to approach November as though he were on the ballot and led attendees in a repeat-after-me pledge to vote. His closing remarks again emphasized maintaining Republican congressional majorities.

The mid-term elections will be a defining moment in American history. The future direction of our great nation hangs in the balance. We must, as Christian conservatives get out and vote! Choose this November the direction of the country. We cannot allow the socialist democrats to continue to win elections and bring down our great Republic. I will hold my nose and vote against the democrats. We must retain control of both houses of Congress to have any chance to save our nation. Rh

It’s A Spiritual Battle on America

When you see 45,000 Muslims marching in Dearborn Michigan, what do you think of? How did they get so strong? Why are they allowed in a country that has fought so hard for separation of church and State. I believe in separation of church and State, as long as we are keeping government out of our personal religion. But when that religion dominates and demands acquiescence, then it becomes a military force that we have to learn to fight against.  Again this has nothing to do with religion, this has to do with takeover! 

It is time for the United States to stop all immigration from all countries.  Deport all that are here on a work visa of any kind.  Stop the insanity now.  It is also time for Congress to pass a law forbidding Sharia law, and also forbidding anyone not born in the US to hold public office. This will never happen.

One might say this is a radical approach.  It is, but we are in a desperate situation.  When the Democratic Party backs and supports radicals who wish the destruction of America, it must be done.  9/11 was a horrific terror attack on our soil.  A little over 20 years later a Muslim was elected in New York? Somali fraud in Minnesota?  Possible election of a Muslim in Michigan?  No go zone in Dearborn MI? All these point to the stupidity of American citizens.  Islam is incompatible with Western democracy.  We either act now before it is too late or we pay the consequences for our posterity.  If left unchecked, we lose the United States of America in 20 years.  

Satan would like nothing better than to destroy America.  We were destined to preach the gospel, and we have around the world.  We have supported and in impracticality we were responsible for Israel’s establishment.  God allowed through Truman’s declaration to participate in their founding, but don’t misunderstand this reviving of Israel is nothing short of the Sovereignty of Almighty God.  God gets all the credit!

We must learn to pray against the spiritual entities who desire our downfall, and get re-involved in government.  Godly government.  We must prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those who wish and acted to destroy our nation!  Trials, not just hearings.  Many should be tried and put in prison, regardless of who they are.  No one should be above the law.

Pray as you have never done before!  Bombard heaven for the mercies of the Almighty.  Learn spiritual warfare.  Stand for righteousness, and demand accountability.  God is sovereign.

On my Rumble channel “Moral Conservative” I will begin intercession for our nation on a semi-regular basis.  Check it out, please.  Fight like the third monkey on the ramp to the Ark!

Israel Analysis

Elections

By Jim Fletcher copied from Koenig World Watch Daily

You can almost smell the desperation of Netanyahu’s political enemies to upend his political career. Rarely in my lifetime have I seen a more hated politician. I believe this is essentially due to the Netanyahu threat to globalism and Leftist pro-terrorism policies. I won’t fall into the left-wing trap of first listing his bad qualities. No quantifying things here.

I will focus on the things he’s accomplished for his people in the last 40 years. Fifty years ago, his older brother Jonathan fell at Entebbe, as hostages were rescued from terrorists and the Ugandan army. Bibi has said this is what drove him to politics. All three Netanyahu brothers served in the elite counter-terrorism unit, Sayeret Matkal.

Beginning in the early 80s, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu began what would become a robust political career. His perfect English, practiced in American schools, was the perfect match for his intellect and quick-study traits. Starting in the Israeli embassy, he networked heavily among Western diplomats and politicians. Combining humor and charm with sober-minded vigilance, he set out to make sure Israel stayed safe.

That was no small order back then, or now. Israel’s situation from a human perspective was always precarious. Bibi also at least understands the biblical issues. He and Menachem Begin are the only Israeli prime ministers to hold Bible studies at the residence in Jerusalem.

His father, Benzion, was a renowned history professor and fierce Zionist. Good for him. Unapologetic, he stood for Israel’s right to self-determination his whole life, and he knew early Zionists like Ze’ev Jabotinsky. The three Netanyahu brothers, growing up in a Jerusalem suburb, learned Zionism around the family dinner table.

Bibi won his first premiership in 1996, fending off Shimon Peres, who had lost his way by embracing disingenuous “peace” partners. He fell into the trap of thinking a robust economy would turn the “Palestinians” away from their thirst for Jewish blood. Nothing will, and some understood this. Charles Krauthammer once famously wrote about Peres’ vision for a “Maginot Line of five-star hotels” in Arab lands. Meaning, the “Palestinians” don’t care about no stinking robust economy. They remain committed to wiping Israel off the earth.

All this to say, we are now hearing from the usual suspects in Western media that Israel is ready to move on from Netanyahu in the upcoming October elections. He has served as prime minister for 19 of Israel’s modern 78 years. Remarkable.

His successes have infuriated his enemies, of whom there are many. I suspect the media reports of his political demise—which have been trotted out for years—are largely bogus. They are even now using Trump’s alleged movement away from Netanyahu in much the same way Clinton and Obama sent their goons to Israel to interfere in Israeli elections.

But the Israeli people, even those who dislike him, know that Netanyahu has held off the genocidal terrorists. Notwithstanding October 7—which was inevitable—Netanyahu has held the killers at bay for 30 years. Never pleasing everyone, he has retained his Zionism against political realities. I predict he will win again.

Until he does, he has some interesting foes. Recent polling (I rarely trust this form of propaganda, which is intended to persuade the masses, many of whom can’t think for themselves) suggests that Netanyahu’s chief rival is Gadi Eisenkot, a former general and chief of general staff. Allegedly, as of this week, his party, Yasher, holds a lead over Likud. Remember, Israeli elections depend on the party, even over the candidate.

Eisenkot, born in Eilat, has a glittering resume. He has a post-graduate degree from Haifa University and was a member of the elite Golani Brigade. 

He also advocates for a two-state solution and draft exemptions for a percentage of the haredim.

In other words, he’s a typical heroic IDF man that becomes dumb when he enters politics.

A two-state solution? 

Are you daft, man?

Israel, especially after 10/7, can never agree to give those devils a state. To do so is to commit suicide. This is the non-starter issue.

Also, a Wikipedia entry for Eisenkot says this:

“Eisenkot advocates for a state rooted in national-Jewish values but with equal rights for all citizens. He supports a two-state solution with the Palestinians, prioritizing the Jordan Valley and settlement blocs, and advocates a long-term ceasefire and demilitarization in the Gaza Strip.

“He views Syria, Lebanon, and Iran not as existential threats, but rather emphasizes the internal challenge of domestic polarization in Israel. Eisenkot advocates for a two-state solution with the Palestinians to maintain a Jewish-democratic state and avoid a bi-national state, but insists on retaining portions of the occupied West Bank, including the Jordan Valley and settlement blocs.”

Is he serious? Syria, Lebanon and Iran are not existential threats? 

This can’t be a serious candidacy. Do you really think Israelis would entrust their security to such a person?

I don’t. 

Buried in the defense bill: The US-Israel provision dividing Washington

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

by David Brody

They’re fighting about Israel again in Washington. What else is new?

Tucked deep inside Congress’ annual defense authorization bill this week is a provision that has generated fierce debate.

The debate centers on what’s known as the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It’s included in both the House and Senate versions of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The House and Senate approach the issue somewhat differently, and the proposal has produced one of Washington’s most unusual political coalitions. The legislation would direct the Pentagon to expand cooperation with Israel in areas such as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, missile defense, cybersecurity, biotechnology, defense manufacturing, research and development, and defense supply chains.

Supporters argue that Israel has become one of America’s most innovative military technology partners and that closer collaboration benefits U.S. national security as much as Israel’s.

They stress that this isn’t about giving Israel more military aid and that the provision inside the bill doesn’t create a joint military command or transfer operational control over U.S. forces. They say instead that by partnering with Israel, American troops will have access to cutting-edge battlefield technologies. In short, they say this is simply a commonsense effort.

Critics say hold on a minute. They complain this is a step toward permanently institutionalizing U.S.-Israel defense cooperation in ways Congress has never done before. Essentially, they argue that Congress is creating a permanent Pentagon bureaucracy whose mission would be to continually deepen military cooperation with Israel regardless of which administration occupies the White House. The critics say closely intertwining with Israel is a bridge too far.

It should be noted that the House version – at least at this point – is more restrained. It directs the Secretary of Defense to designate a Pentagon executive agent responsible for coordinating U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation.

It also softens some of the original language by referring to the “potential integration” of Israeli technologies into American defense programs. It wouldn’t be automatic integration. In addition, the language is softer, stating that a list of coordinated activities with Israel “may” be pursued rather than “shall” be pursued.

The Senate version appears broader at this point and seems to be a more formal bilateral framework for long-term defense technology cooperation.  Normally, Israel divides Republicans and Democrats. This time, the fault line is different.

On one side are many traditional national security Republicans, pro-Israel Democrats (a dwindling group to be sure) and organizations like AIPAC. 
On the other side is a growing coalition of far-left, anti-Israel Democrats and the non-interventionist anti-Israel wing of the “America First” movement that is represented in Congress.

This side argues that Congress should not require deeper ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government at a time when there is a growing chorus of criticism directed at Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza. 

So far, there’s been an attempt to strip the provision out of the underlying bill on the House side. Anti-Israel Republican Rep. Thomas Massie joined anti-Israel Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna in introducing an amendment to remove the provision, but the amendment was blocked before reaching the House floor, so the language currently remains in the bill.

Massie’s objections, however, come from a very different place than those of progressive Democrats. His concerns reflect the growing America First, non-interventionist wing of the Republican Party, which argues the United States should avoid permanently embedding itself in the military affairs of any foreign nation – even close allies. This contingent believes this is not traditional defense cooperation but rather an expansion of military integration. 

The progressive left echoes some of the sentiment of the America First Right, but they also worry about tying America more closely to Netanyahu’s government.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has not publicly commented in detail on the specific NDAA provisions now under debate in Congress, but his broader view of the U.S.-Israel security relationship has been consistent. While he has strongly advocated for expanding strategic cooperation between the two countries, Netanyahu has also argued in recent years that Israel should gradually reduce its dependence on American military aid.

Following the October 7 attacks, he reiterated that Israel ultimately must be able to defend itself by itself, and has suggested that as Israel’s economy and defense industry continue to grow, the country should work toward greater self-sufficiency rather than relying indefinitely on U.S. assistance.

What this current debate over the measure shows is that Israel is not going to escape close scrutiny by those in Congress. While the majority still supports Israel, the growing faction of far-left Democrats and woke right America-first conservatives create a substantial problem for Israel. It comes at the worst possible time.

I am a total supporter of this bill. The alliance between Israel and the U.S. government is one that benefits us even more than Israel. They buy our weaponry, enhance many of our military systems and give us valuable intel that we could not attain without their help. Rh

A New Political Party

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For many years now, I have wished that we could have a third political party in the United States of America. A true conservative party that is espouses moral and traditional Christian values, as well as putting the people first. The tea party attempted to do that back a few years ago, but the establishment ruling class would have none of it.  TheRepublicans hated losing power and fought against it and it eventually failed. I understand the way our government is set up that a third-party really is almost impossible, however this new effort by Mr. Islamic sympathizer Tucker and MTG, as well as other haters of Israel , their party is doomed for failure. It will be nothing more than Israel and Christian bashing. NO thank you. 

What we need is a Christian conservative party in this country. As I said, one that has morally conservative values. The only problem with that is that Christians won’t support it. Many of them don’t want to be associated with anything “political”.  Many aren’t registered to begin with and with Pastors turning deaf and dumb on speaking from pulpits on moral issues. We have a problem. We are supposed to be  salt and light in a dark and wicked world. I believe that Jesus wants to be Lord over all  areas of life. That includes politics. The attitude of many pastors and churches is that we don’t do politics. What if the issues of the day are moral issues that are trying to invade the church with demonic doctrine. It’s time for the church to stand up and fight the good fight of faith outside the four walls of the church. In politics, absolutely.  Government touches every area of our life from jobs, education, taxes, and the week being of our citizens. Government was ordained and established by God.(Romans 13)  The idiocy of what the church does by ducking its head and hiding inside the four walls of a church, amounts to a moral failure.  All these moral issues are being discussed and voted on in the halls of Congress or in governors’ mansions across the country. So let’s just drop our heads and allow ungodliness to rule and reign.  I don’t think Jesus is happy that the church gives up the rulership of this country to evil people. We are never going to wipe out evil, nor do we wish a theocratic government, but a moral one is well within our reach.  

It’s too bad a third-party won’t work, and it is too bad that it can’t be a true conservative party. Whatever  in the world that Tucker Carlson is going to try to do is not going  conservative and it’s not going to be moral either.  It will be a far right anti-Israel.  After all that is all he condemns.  It will not have  moral values.  What it is, it’s a bunch of people that are really Libertarian Democrat lite.  That have decided to take their ball and find another court so they can play on, and tear this nation apart.

My oh my, God must be shaking his head and wondering, will they ever learn?  Rh

America: One of A Kind

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Passionate in life; passionate in death.

When the Declaration of Independence was signed, Adams said it “will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever.”

And so it is. As we celebrate this monumental day, the 250th birthday of America, I leave you with the words of Founding Father Joseph Warren, quoted by Ronald Reagan in his First Inaugural Address. Reagan shared:

“On the eve of our struggle for independence, a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, ‘Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of…. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rest the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.’”

Reagan continued, “Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children.”

Happy Independence Day!

Who Do You Believe??

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The future use of Iranian funds has long been one of the most politically sensitive issues surrounding any agreement with Tehran.

Who do you believe, that is the question. I am not calling Vance and Trump liars, but there is no way the Iranian regime is going to do what Vance said they would do.

Even if they did distribute some of the money to be used for food, that would only allow them to divert other monies to re-claim their missile program or their nuclear ambitions.

If we give him the benefit of the doubt and say Vance truly believes the Iranians, it tells me he is a novice at best, and a fool at worst. Harsh words maybe, but accurate. So do we have a deal or is this just propaganda on both sides? Or are the Iranians lying, and if they are we need to continue the war.

One final note, in the Muslim faith they have a word to describe the act of deceiving or lying to a mon Muslim. It is called “Taqiyya.” You see the Islamist use their faith as military action, not as a true religion. So there we have it, whatever is finally agreed upon will never be what Iran will do. Guarantee that for a fact.

Forty-seven years of failure and now we are so close to total victory. Mr. President, finish the job. Demand complete and total surrender. On our terms. Rh

Epilogue: I will have more at another time on Vance, he has proven himself not ready for the big stage!

Update:

The regime doesn’t change its spots, and as Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out this past weekend, the regime in Tehran has, and will continue to be, the driving force behind Middle East terror and turmoil.

“Every problem in the Middle East tracks back to Iran,” Rubio stressed. “Hezbollah—Iran. Shia militias that are destroying and threatening Iraq—Iran. Hamas—Iran. The Houthis—Iran. Assad when he was in Syria—Iran. Everywhere you turn, they’re behind all of it.”

“They are a destabilizing, dangerous, evil force that had to be dealt with,” he emphasized. “They have to be weakened.” Quote from Secretary Marco Rubio
