A former Department of Defense (DOD) director has urged the U.S. to invest in “better” AI to ward off the impact of China gaining influence. Jason Rathje, now president of the public sector at the $2.5 billion AI company webAI, told Military.com that to win the tech arms race, the U.S. needs to move away from vulnerable, centralized cloud-based AI systems and more toward local, specialized and secure intelligence. President Donald Trump is currently meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, in Washington to discuss national security measures and international trade policies during a bilateral summit. Artificial intelligence is reportedly…

Have you ever thought about how people baked bread before the convenience of modern electric ovens? You might think they used a brick oven or maybe even a bake kettle.

That is the topic of this video by Townsends, a Youtuber who is an expert at primitive cooking and pioneer living. In this video, he walks you through the process of baking bread the way early Americans…

It sure looks that way. Seattle TV station KIRO is reporting that, despite claims to the contrary from Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, the King County Prosecuting Attorneys Office has not signed on or given the thumbs up to her “gun violence” plan.  Part of Wilson’s plan involves using the city’s Community Assisted Response and Engagement (CARE) Department to respond to shootings. CARE, a city public safety unit, but it’s been tasked with responding to non-violent behavioral health and crises in the past. Under Wilson’s plan, CARE would be the city’s new “command center” for gun violence…

Years ago, on an old web forum, there was someone whose signature read something like, “Those who beat their swords into plowshares end up plowing for those who don’t.” Since we were all into medieval warfare to some degree, as the forum was about medieval armor, it didn’t seem out of place. Yet it got into my brain and has spent a quarter of a century living there rent-free.  No, it’s not biblical, but it made a good point.See, we’re not quite at the point that Isaiah meant when he talked about beating those swords…

Dental coverage changes after leaving active duty. When my husband retired, we had to figure out what worked for our family. Shopping for insurance is no joke! So many options, and I had a lot of questions. What worked while you were serving may not be available after you separate or retire. The right option depends on several factors, including your veteran or retiree status, VA enrollment, family needs, location and the type of dental care you expect to need.

The Civil Rights Coalition’s Toby Leary and Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence head Ruth Zakarin recently squared off in an extended debate over Question 9 on this November’s ballot, which would repeal the newest round of restrictions on gun owners in the state known as Chapter 135. The 40-minute long debate can be viewed in its entirety on the CBS Boston website, and I wish that every Massachusetts resident would watch, as Leary did an excellent job in explaining why these laws are so off-base. The big challenge for Leary and The Civil Rights Coalition…

It was a rare gathering involving American service members from a bygone era, exemplifying a sense of “pride” as many of their military colleagues have long since passed. About a dozen World War II veterans, all older than age 100, gathered Sunday at the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, drawing hundreds of visitors who came to hear firsthand accounts before all the war’s survivors are gone. The event, called the Gathering of WWII Heroes, was organized by The War Remembered, an oral history project hosted by the museum on Austin Museum Day as part of…
