American Thinker: Government bureaucrats vs. the Rule of Law
The power to regulate and tax must be held by elected officials, accountable to the people. When it falls to bureaucrats, the Rule of Law is subverted. Chevron Deference gave unelected Administrative State too much control, leading to a sense of dread among citizens. But we have the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and a Supreme Court that understands their power. We must hold our government accountable. Jay, a capitalist, believes in the link between individual rights, the Constitution, and capitalism.

American Thinker: The problem with intellectuals
Economist Thomas Sowell argues that inflated intellectuals consider themselves morally superior and use any means necessary, including breaking the law, to advance their ideals. The Biden administration exemplifies this with their negative policies, lack of practicality, and reliance on intellectuals. American pragmatism, focused on tangible problem-solving, poses a threat to the progressive Left. Intellectuals are attracted to government as a way to avoid practical work and prefer division over cooperation. Law schools incubate this mentality, leading to corruption and violations of constitutional principles. American pragmatism offers a counter to the destructive impulses of the political Left.

Washington Free Beacon: MIT Took Chinese Money To Research AI. The University May Also Have Helped The CCP Surveil Uyghurs.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received funding from Chinese facial recognition company SenseTime, which is used by China to track Uyghurs. SenseTime donated money to MIT in 2018, and MIT used the funds to research neural networks and image recognition, areas related to facial recognition technology. SenseTime filed several patent applications during the same time period. This reflects China's ongoing efforts to influence American higher education. MIT has not returned the funding and has put a hold on further use of the money.

Red State: AI Regulations Should Go Through Congress, Not Lina Khan's FTC or Industry Groups
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay and will impact various aspects of our lives, but regulations governing its use should go through Congress. The entertainment industry is already experiencing the effects of AI, with strikes over AI-generated scripts and AI images of actors. AI is also being used in politics, raising concerns about the spread of false information. While some advocate for government regulation, it should be up to individuals to take legal action if harmed. Rolling AI into existing laws or allowing industry self-regulation is not the solution. Instead, new legislation needs to be implemented to address the issues AI brings. A bipartisan proposal aims to end Section 230 immunity for generative AI, while other bills focus on AI training and transparency in the federal government. It is unwise to rush into an omnibus AI regulatory bill due to the uncertainties and potential unintended consequences of the technology and regulation.
