What if the geopolitical insanity of 2026 isn’t actually insane? Game theory suggests something more disturbing: perfectly rational nations, each acting in their own self-interest, can collectively produce disastrous outcomes that nobody actually wanted. Born from Cold War-era work at RAND, the Prisoner’s Dilemma explains everything from arms races to alliances and deterrence. Sometimes nobody has to be crazy for the world to go completely nuts.
U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue assesses the outcome of President Donald Trump’s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on ‘Fox News Sunday.’
History remembers Vlad the Impaler as a blood-soaked medieval psychopath. But what happens if we assume Vlad was a rational actor? Suddenly the stakes, the terror, and the infamous Forest of the Impaled start looking less like random savagery and more like calculated deterrence. Vlad couldn’t outspend or outfight the Ottoman Empire, so he weaponized the one battlefield where a small power could compete with a giant: the human mind. Five hundred years before “fifth-generation warfare” became fashionable, Dracula was already playing game theory—with sharpened stakes.
The SpaceX Starship spacecraft is about to attempt its first ten-hour orbital spaceflight.
Before freezers and generators, Michigan hunters had another way to make November’s deer feed the family all winter: the Mason jar. Pressure-canned venison may be the original deer-camp MRE—simple, shelf-stable, already cooked, and requiring no refrigeration. It’s a nearly forgotten skill worth bringing back.
There is so much “news” about Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) – but precious little that is new.
We’ve had authors for a century-plus describing almost exactly the doomsday scenarios towards which we are now currently, stupidly hurtling ourselves.
What if World War III didn’t begin with missiles, mushroom clouds, or tanks crossing a border? What if it quietly started around 2016, and we were too busy arguing about elections, surviving COVID, watching AI explode, and complaining about gas prices to notice the clouds gathering? Grab the heavy-duty aluminum foil and follow me down the rabbit hole as we connect geopolitics, oil, emerging alliances, artificial intelligence, biblical prophecy, and one wonderfully uncomfortable question: What if history has already changed—and nobody bothered to send us the memo?
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., joins ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ to discuss the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the growing push for Congress to regulate the technology after reports of Google’s Gemini hacking companies.
This transcript preserves the recent portion of our conversation about artificial intelligence, the Turing test, human–AI integration, neural interfaces, gaming, brainwaves, and the possibility of dramatically increasing communication bandwidth between people and AI.
Competitive long-range shooting used to look like a sport where the entry fee was a custom rifle, a pile of specialized equipment, and possibly a second mortgage. CMP’s new AR Tactical and F-Practical categories are changing that. Built around affordable AR-platform and factory-production rifles, practical rests, bipods, and limited-power optics, these events offer ordinary shooters a pathway onto the 600- and 1,000-yard firing line without first building a NASA-grade race gun. This beginner’s guide explains the rifles, equipment, rules, match formats, and what to expect at your first match. The wind is still free—and it will still humble you.
The 6.5 Creedmoor has been around for 19 years, and apparently that still hasn’t been enough time for some gun enthusiasts to learn what the word Creedmoor actually means.
Before you utter “6.5 Man Bun” again, try Google.
Teachers across the US are citing growing concerns over what they’re saying is a reading crisis. CNN’s Isabel Rosales reports.
There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.
I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.
Dad thought “permanent trailer plate” meant permanent. Government apparently meant, “until you buy another trailer, peasant.” For generations, recycling an old trailer plate was the kind of technically-wrong rural economics nobody noticed unless a cop had an actual reason to look. Today, cameras, databases, and algorithms potentially can notice—and remember—things no human officer ever would have bothered with.
That raises a bigger question than Dad’s Great Trailer Plate Crime Spree: **When technology makes it possible for government to notice nearly everything, should it?**
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin joins ‘The Sunday Briefing’ to discuss border security, drug cartel drone activity and cyber threats. He also details President Donald Trump’s border enforcement policies.
It is my third week without a smartphone. Twenty-one days ago, I purchased a Japanese “dumb” phone with the same high-tech functionality of coleslaw.
America has built a surveillance network King George III could only dream about. License-plate cameras may help catch criminals, but when government can potentially turn millions of innocent motorists into searchable dots on a map, the Fourth Amendment deserves a seat at the table. Catch the car thief. Find the missing child. But when the government wants to reconstruct where ordinary citizens have been, Americans should remember two beautiful words our Founders would appreciate: Flock you.
What if the Beast of Revelation didn’t rise from the sea—but arrived in a server rack? This fictional, extra-biblical excursion imagines AI as the Beast, data centers as its temples, and humanity enthusiastically feeding it electricity, water, privacy, knowledge, and eventually perhaps our autonomy. The disturbing part isn’t that the machine might conquer us. It’s that we may build it ourselves, connect everything to it, put it in our pockets—and stand in line for the upgrade.
