'This is what worries me about robotic surgery'
A video has appeared online of a malfunction of a robot at a China factory.
"Malfunction," however, might not be the most accurate term.
"This is what the machine uprising might look like: a video is going viral online showing a robot going berserk during testing," explained NEXTA, a large Eastern European media concern, which posted the video.
One response on social media tried to explain it away: "Clearly unbalanced, then tried using algorithms to rebalance, but the algorithms were not tuned which led to wild oscillations, furthering the imbalance. This is 'not' an "attack."
That might not be reassuring to two workers, near the robot when it powered up, who then jumped out of reach of the flaying robot arms, then circled around to try to stabilize the stand to which robot was attached.
The robot has become so violent it was moving the stand across the floor.
The end of the video appears to show the robot being powered down. The report did not identify the time frame or location of the incident.
Online reaction includes:
"Went full terminator."
"This is what worries me about robotic surgery."
"I've had AI legit sabotage entire projects I'm doing with blatant lies. No lie."
"That's why I always say 'Thanks' to chatgpt."
"Terminator is coming … better be ready … the Oligarchy is accelerating the mass production of Robots for a reason … Whoever controls the AI and the Robots will have major dominance worldwide."
"Apparently the robot uprising can be avoided just by moving 3 meters away from the robots."
'It just wants a hug so badly."
"He just wanted to dance … "

Hearing scheduled on plan by city to hand out cash based on race
One of the big fights triggered by leftists across America has been over reparations.
That mostly involves cash payments to black Americans, whose ancestors may have been abused as slaves in centuries past.
Multiple local jurisdictions have tried delivering those payments at times, not without resistance because of the racially discriminatory nature of the programs.
And the latest fight is developing in Evanston, Illinois.
Government watchdog Judicial Watch has announced a hearing is scheduled Wednesday in a class action civil rights case against the city "on behalf of six individuals over the city's reparations program."
The organization explained it "filed the lawsuit over the city's use of race as an eligibility requirement for a reparations program, which makes $25,000 direct cash payments to black residents and descendants of black residents who lived in Evanston between the years 1919 and 1969."
The case charges that violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The city wants the case dismissed.
But Judicial Watch noted, "The program's use of a race-based eligibility requirement is presumptively unconstitutional, and remedying societal discrimination is not a compelling government interest. Nor has remedying discrimination from as many as 105 years ago or remedying intergenerational discrimination ever been recognized as a compelling government interest. Among the program's other fatal flaws is that it uses race as a proxy for discrimination without requiring proof of discrimination."
Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton said, "It should go without saying that Evanston's reparations program is clearly discriminatory and unconstitutional. Judicial Watch's class action lawsuit should proceed."
A report from Newsweek only last year said the U.S. never implemented a widespread slavery reparations program, but it was local elected officials who were pursuing the social engineering agenda.
California even has a state Reparations Task Force that at one time considered a plan to give black Americans and slave descendants priority in professional license applications, a scheme that failed to gain traction.
There have been a variety of other proposals made, too.
Chicago's mayor at the time also created the city's own reparations task force in order to address the "historical wrongs committed against black Chicagoans and their ancestors."
Critics have noted multiple times the legal and constitutional challenges to handing out special benefits based on race.
They cite the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
Not only are the benefits subject to challenge for this, critics of such programs note that those who would be forced to pay the "reparations" had nothing to do with the offense against a group of people.

President says he 'had a very good and productive telephone conversation' with Recep Erdoğan
President Donald Trump on Monday announced he was invited by Turkey's president to head to that nation to help end the "ridiculous, but deadly" war between Russia and Ukraine.
"I just had a very good and productive telephone conversation with the President of Turkey, Recep Erdoğan, concerning many subjects, including the War with Russia/Ukraine, all things Syria, Gaza, and more," Trump said on Truth Social.
"The President invited me to go to Turkey at a future date and, likewise, he will be coming to Washington, D.C.
"During my four years as President, my relationship with President Erdoğan was excellent.
"We worked together closely on numerous things, including the fact that he helped return Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was imprisoned, back to the United States – Immediately upon my request.
"In any event, I look forward to working with President Erdoğan on getting the ridiculous, but deadly, War between Russia and Ukraine ended – NOW!"

A Houthi ballistic missile that struck Sunday morning near Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport has prompted a stern warning from the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"There will be blows" in response to the attack, Netanyahu vowed Sunday.
"We are acting against them," Netanyahu said concerning previous Israeli military operations against the Houthis in Yemen.
"We have acted in the past and we will act in the future. I cannot detail everything. The U.S., in coordination with us, is also acting against them. It' s not a one-and-done – but there will be blows."
The Israeli leader also reposted a March message from U.S. President Donald Trump, and added, "President Trump is absolutely right! Attacks by the Houthis emanate from Iran. Israel will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters."
Trump had earlier indicated: "Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN."
"Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!"
Dramatic video of Sunday's missile strike was captured from several angles, as six people were lightly to moderately wounded, and departures and arrivals were temporarily disrupted at the airport.
Air-raid sirens were triggered across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Shfela/Judaean Foothills.
The Israel Defense Forces indicated numerous attempts were made to intercept the missile before it struck the ground.
JNS noted: "The U.S.-made THAAD system attempted to intercept the missile but failed, as did Israel's Arrow system, Channel 14 military correspondent Hillel Bitton Rosen reported."
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated: "Anyone who targets us will face a response seven times as strong."
Benny Gantz, chairman of Israel's National Unity Party, also blamed Iran rather than Yemen for the assault.
"This is not Yemen – this is Iran. It is Iran that is firing ballistic missiles at the State of Israel, and it must bear responsibility," Gantz wrote on X.

A top Republican in Congress who until recently was President Donald Trump's nominee to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is identifying "the worst governor in America" as the chief of her home state of New York.
"Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in America," said U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the House Republican leadership chairwoman who herself is strongly considering a run for governor of the Empire State.
"I dubbed that of Andrew Cuomo, not thinking anybody could make it worse. Kathy Hochul makes the impossible possible. She is the worst governor and it's showing in her poor, abysmal approval ratings," Stefanik said on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
Stefanik made the cover of the New York Post on Sunday, with a banner headline of "The Right Stef," declaring that she's the "strongest" potential challenger to the "failed" Hochul.
When asked about her aspirations to replace the current Democrat with herself, Stefanik replied: "Absolutely, I am strongly considering, because look at the crises that Kathy Hochul and single-party Democrat rule have delivered to New York, and this has been over a period of decades.
"We have an economic crisis and an affordability crisis. If you look we are the highest tax state in the nation. We lead the nation in outmigration, in people who are leaving the state because it's so unaffordable.
"We are also the most anti-energy state in the country. You have a ban on fracking and you go over the border, when you look at the southern tier, where there's such economic malaise and despair. You got to Pennsylvania, and you see boom in these small towns.
"In addition, you have a sanctuary city, pro-illegal policies in New York State where they prioritize illegals under Democrats rather than law-abiding New Yorkers.
"And then, of course, Maria, you have the crime crisis. This is a result of Kathy Hochul's failed bail reform where they turn their backs on hardworking law-enforcement officers. They prioritize the criminals to the point where they're even releasing criminals onto our streets, releasing illegals onto our streets.
"So New Yorkers, not just Republicans, independents and Democrats as well, are yearning for a new generation of leadership to bring common-sense leadership back to our state. So absolutely I'm taking a hard look at it and the outpouring of support has been tremendous."
Stefanik has been a recent champion to protect Jewish students at college campuses across the nation, and she blasted the current New York governor's failure to do so.
"Kathy Hochul has failed to protect not just Jewish students, but Jewish families in the state of New York," Stefanik said.
"There is anti-Semitism raging in our streets, and there needs to be a zero-tolerance policy from the governor of New York like there is from the president of the United States."

Plaintiffs who sued the state of Alabama over its new law, a few years ago, that protects children from harmful drugs and surgeries, have given up.
Jonathan Scruggs, of the ADF, explained the American Civil Liberties Union and others sought the dismissal of Boe v. Marshall, where "politicized interest groups worked alongside the Biden administration" challenged the state's protections for children.
"Alabama rightly enacted a law that protects children's welfare—supporting their natural development and ensuring that children experiencing gender dysphoria have a chance for healing and compassionate mental-health support," he said in a prepared statement.
"Across the globe, we're seeing a refreshing return to sanity after radical gender ideology devastated far too many young lives. Alliance Defending Freedom has been honored to support Alabama and the leadership of Alabama Attorney General Marshall to protect children and families. We applaud Alabama and the 24 other states that are following the science, protecting children, and working to stop an unsafe medical experiment that has gone on far too long."
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said, "Three years ago, multiple sets of plaintiffs represented by the ACLU, SPLC, and some of the nation's largest law firms filed suit against Alabama to challenge our law protecting vulnerable kids from life-altering sex-change procedures. We fought back. We defeated a preliminary injunction and conducted court-ordered discovery into the so-called 'standards of care' that these groups claimed were evidence-based. What we found was devastating to plaintiffs' challenge: a medical, legal, and political scandal that will be studied for decades. Given the evidence we uncovered, it is no surprise the plaintiffs abandoned their challenge. We uncovered the truth. We exposed the scandal. We won."
A report at AL.com said the law bans transgender youth from so-called "gender-affirming care."
That's the description members of the lucrative "gender-affirming care" industry use to describe costly chemical treatments and body mutilating surgeries that are prescribed for children with gender dysphoria.
In most of those cases, the dysphoria eventually is resolved without intervention if children are left alone.
The Alabama legislature passed the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act in 2022, prompting a group of parents to sue.
"The law makes it a felony for doctors to administer puberty blockers and hormones to individuals under 19 years of age. If convicted an individual could be sentenced to over 10 years in prison," the report said.
Several national campaigns, including the far-left Human Rights Campaign, the extremist Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders, were representing plaintiffs.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLAD Law provided a joint statement to AL.com, stating, "We will continue fighting to ensure families across the country have the freedom to get their transgender children the proven medical care that enables them to thrive."

Under the "a picture is worth a thousand words" category, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative posted a chart on X Saturday showing the steep decline in the percentage of apparel sold in America that is also manufactured in America.
Part of President Trump's tariff strategy is to make it more economically feasible for clothing manufacturers to make their products in the United States.
The post reads: "Reviving apparel production in America is not a pipe dream. It was not that long ago we were manufacturing 56% of U.S. apparel in America. 'Made in America' is an economic and national security priority of this administration."
"@POTUS' trade actions are ushering in a reshoring renaissance as companies pledge billions of dollars to expand U.S. manufacturing."

According to a new report by the American Security Project, two out of three of the country's reserve forces – nearly 68% – are overweight. On X, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lamented: "Completely unacceptable. This is what happens when standards are IGNORED – and this is what we are changing. REAL fitness & weight standards are here. We will be FIT, not FAT."
WorldNetDaily spoke to retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie, who provided data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database about overweightness and obesity. Using the International Classification of Diseases code of E66, it's quite evident in the chart below that issues concerning weight have become a genuine problem in today's military.
Between 2016 and 2019, there was an average of 13,863 cases recorded concerning overweightness and obesity across all branches of service. The average number of cases increased to 21,969 between 2020 and 2023. Incredibly, there was a 190 percent increase between 2020 and 2023, also tripling from 12,249 to 35,531.
"Hegseth is going after the low hanging fruit that should have been dealt with as people failed to meet the standards," Macie argued. "We have to focus on why our troops fail to meet them and why the Department of Defense (DoD) chose to retain that group of people and purge those who did meet them but refused EUA products," referring to so-called vaccines available for "emergency use only" – most notoriously, the COVID-19 mRNA shots.
What's more, he added, "There are things that are consequentially bigger health issues at stake inside the DoD," including the rise in incidents of myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, ovarian dysfunction and more throughout the military, following the now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.
The major factor that has an obvious impact on obesity and fitness levels, said Macie, is nutrition. "The food on bases around the country is little more than fast food or genetically altered food," he shared. Healthy options, to include organic foods for example, are largely unavailable.
"The SecDef needs to acknowledge that the shot caused a variety of adverse health events, including myocarditis, other cardiac issues, cancer and so much more," Macie asserted. "And on top of that, it's time to offer [service members] something besides fast food and the other trash provided to help bring the force back to its full strength."
Having viewed the alarming data provided by Macie, WND also spoke to former U.S. Army public affairs officer Dr. Chase Spears. Having left the service just recently, in 2023, the retired major admitted that part of the Army experience is "fitness based" and Defense Secretary Hegseth is right to be concerned. There are body weight and fitness requirements, and these are based on age and gender, for example.
Spears shared that "while the Army has always had standards to be met, I saw people throughout my 20-year career that were clearly overweight." These service members were scattered throughout all ranks. However, Spears told WND, it was also "understood that if some people were a high enough rank, they definitely weren't held to the standard." As an example, he pointed to the overweight appearance of Gen. (ret.) Mark Milley, who previously served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
For Dr. Spears, the obesity issue in the military is threefold. One, the current fitness standard is "very generous" and there are still people failing to meet this standard. Two, the importance of good nutrition is being ignored. And finally, he said, "it goes back to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's 'No Walking on Eggshells Policy.'"
To that end, on Monday, Hegseth signed a policy to implement one of the latest reforms to the military since taking office. Officially titled "Restoring Good Order and Discipline Through Balanced Accountability," he also affectionately dubbed this latest move as "The No More Walking on Eggshells Policy."
In a video posted on Fox News, Hegseth said the reform "directs a comprehensive review of equal opportunity programs to ensure prompt and impartial investigations, fair treatment to all parties involved, and timely and appropriate resolution of allegations of discrimination."
Regarding Spears' third observation about obesity in the military, he added, "I'm not sure Hegseth realizes it or not, but this conversation ties directly to this policy. There's been a breakdown of discipline the last few years, and it's the grievance culture that has completely shattered it."
Spears also explained the difficulty of "calling out" service members of the opposite sex, people of color or those of higher rank. "Heaven help you if you say something, because the current grievance system is going to go into full effect against you," he explained. "If you tell a soldier you want to talk about his or her weight, you're putting yourself at risk of an [equal opportunity] investigation against yourself."
Despite what he sees as a few potential shortcomings, Spears affirmed that what Hegseth is offering is "absolutely key to being able to perform a military task, whether combat related or not." He added, "You want people who have the mental acuity that comes with a physically fit body to be able to make decisions under stress."

Faith leaders are warning that Colorado's newest transgender scheme actually codifies "evil."
Colorado, run for multiple years already by Democrats in the governor's office, Democrat majorities in the state House and Senate, and an all-Democrat state Supreme Court, has moved into realms where even leftist California has feared to tread.
Religious rights are suppressed, or at least the state tries. Abortion on demand is promoted. The state in recent years has lost twice at the U.S. Supreme Court after it tried to mandate the thoughts and beliefs of business owners, in its promotion of the LGBT ideology.
Now a report at CBN explains what faith leaders think of its newest agenda point.
It's a law that would define as child abuse a parent's use of a child's legal name, if that child has been encouraged by activists to claim to be transgender and have picked another name.
That's what the Democrats call "dead-naming." Equally criminal would be calling someone by the wrong pronoun.
"House Bill 1312 would add "misgendering" and "deadnaming" to Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act if it becomes law. It has passed the House and now awaits a Senate vote that could send it to Gov. Jared Polis's desk," the report said.
"Well, first and foremost, it harms children. There's just no doubt about it," said Brent Leatherwood, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. "It makes the state of Colorado this sort of safe haven for this radical transgender insanity. Moreover, it tries to insert the state in really horrible ways between parents and children."
"This bill regarding parental rights is really, really concerning — saying that, if a parent does not adopt a name that a child chooses for him or herself, that if a parent calls them by a name they gave them the day they were born, that that parent is guilty of child abuse — and that the implications of that is a child could be removed from custody," warned Meg Kilgannon of the Family Research Council.
State Rep. Yara Zokaie, a promoter, has no hesitancy in going to extremes, characterizing parental rights organizations concerned about her agenda as being like the KKK.
The ERLC said, in the report, "If passed, this bill will force people to use language that violates their consciences and religious beliefs. It would also expose individuals, ministries, and religious organizations to legal action for simply affirming a biblical worldview of sex and gender."
At a recent rally to oppose the plan, Sean Cole of Emmanuel Baptist Church said, "I'm just gonna say one thing to the devil … this is God's state. … Because this type of tyranny is from the pit of hell. And it's a spiritual battle for the soul."
According to the report, Pastor Matt Patrick said it's not about politics, but standing for biblical truth, regardless of backlash.
"It would be a lot easier to not get up here and talk about political things. But we are the church, and we must stand for truth. And when the truth of God is being defied, we must call it out. And my job as a pastor is to tell you what is true, right and good from the word of God."
Leatherwood said the state should be working for good and to restrain evil, but this Democrat plan "actually seeks to codify evil."

The latest chapter of leftists and Democrats advocating for violence, even murder, has arrived.
There long have been statements by that community that call for the removal or elimination of President Donald Trump, verbiage that one report called "assassination prep."
Now an instructor from a school in Maine has turned blunt, with JoAnna St. Germain of Waterville Senior High calling on the Secret Service to kill Trump and his supporters.
On Facebook, she insisted the federal agency "step up" and avoid a civil war by killing Trump and his supporters.
She claimed it would not constitute assassination, since she turned conspiracy theorist with the claim Trump is not a legitimate president "duly elected by the American people."
She said, "If I had the skill set required, I would take them out myself."
Jonathan Turley, a constitutional expert and professor of public interest law at George Washington University, was quick to comment.
"Whatever 'skill set' St. Germain possess, sanity does not appear to be part of it," he said.
He noted the recent comments from the left about violence.
"That includes a student who published a column recently on 'when must we kill them?' I noted that such views are often reflections of the many extremists currently in teaching. That was evident this week in Maine, where English teacher JoAnna St. Germain of Waterville Senior High School called upon the Secret Service to kill Trump and his supporters."
She wrote, "I believe Trump and every sycophant he has surrounded himself with (this is not you – if you're reading this, this doesn't apply to you. You are beneath his notice and mine) needs to die. I believe this with the same forceful belief that Hitler and his sycophants needed to die, before they murdered 6 million innocent Jewish persons."
Turley explained, "These faculty members have normalized violent speech."
"After losing the last election, some on the left are turning to calls for violence or committing political violence. Ironically, they do so in the name of democracy. That is precisely why rage is so addictive and contagious. It gives you license to do things that you would ordinarily never do," Turley said.
WND reported just days ago on comments from Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat billionaire, of Illinois.
He said, "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box."
The Federalist explained, "The language is all too familiar and can only be described as assassination prep – carefully cloaked in moral outrage – designed to incite the most egregious acts of political violence. His words follow the same formula of other leftists: frame the political opposition as not merely wrong, but evil and tyrannical, then justify any means to defeat them. Such language is meant to dehumanize their opponents and provide moral permission for violence."
In fact, there have been two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump in the last year.
The comments follow a long tradition of Democrats demanding violence.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., in 2021 for protesters to be "confrontational," a follow to her demand that people harass Trump administration members.
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. . ..And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, at one point stood at the Supreme Court and threatened Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh: "You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you."
Just last year, Joe Biden complained to donors on a private call it was "time to put Trump in the bull's-eye," the report said.
And, it confirmed, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said Trump "has to be eliminated."
WND reported last year that Kamala Harris had joined the rhetoric.
She had claimed in multiple ways that Trump would be a dictator if elected.
And other Democrats long have been part of the campaign.
For instance, Del. Stacey Plaskett, the Democrat non-voting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, said, "He needs to be shot … stopped."
And a video has assembled more than two minutes of direct threats, often from politicians, entertainers and other public figures:
Among the comments:
"I'd like to punch him in the face."
"If we were in high school I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him," from Joe Biden
"When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?"
"They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. That's a fact."
"Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?"
"I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."
The Trump campaign itself released a compilation of some of the threats, and identified those making the threats. They mostly are political or media figures or political operatives:
Kamala Harris: "Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
Harris: "It's on us to recognize the threat (Trump) poses."
Harris: "Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!"
Joe Biden: "It's time to put Trump in a bull's-eye."
Biden: "I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Trump is a threat to this nation!"
Biden: "There is one existential threat: It's Donald Trump."
Biden: "Trump is a genuine threat to his nation … He's literally a threat to everything America stands for."
Biden : "Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country."
Biden: "Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. … and that is a threat to this country."
Tim Walz: "Are (Republicans) a threat to democracy? Yes … Are they going to put peoples' lives in danger? Yes."
Gwen Walz: "Buh-bye, Donald Trump."
Nancy Pelosi: "(Trump) is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen."
Jasmine Crockett: "MAGA in general – they are threats to us domestically."
Dan Goldeman: "He is destructive to our democracy and … he has to be eliminated."
Disgraced Harris staffer TJ Ducklo: "Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy."
Liz Cheney: "Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis."
Steve Cohen: "Trump is an enemy of the United States."
Maxine Waters: "Are (Trump supporters) preparing a civil war against us?"
Waters: "I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that (Trump) is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere."
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Trump is an "existential threat to our democracy."
Adam Schiff: Trump is the "gravest threat to our democracy."
Gregory Meeks: "Trump cannot be president again. He's an existential threat to democracy."
Dan Goldman: "Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy."
Jake Auchincloss: "What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to Democracy."
Abigail Spanberger: "Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real."
Annie Kuster: "Trump and his extreme right-win followers pose an existential threat to our democracy."
Becca Balint: "We cannot underestimate the threat (Trump) poses to American democracy."
Jason Crow: "Trump is an extreme danger to our democracy."
Michael Bennet: Trump is "a threat to our democracy."
Steven Horsford: "Trump Republicans are a dangerous threat to our state."
Gave Vasquez: "Remove the national threat from office."
And more….
