Fox News anchor criticizes Kamala Harris for talking about joy
JULIE BANDERAS (FOX NEWS ANCHOR): I just have to call her out on using the word joy. How weird is that for the vice president to come out of this presidential mess for the last four years and refer to it as joy? Okay, the American people are not joyful about their checkbooks. They are not joyful about inflation. They're certainly not joyful about the economy. So what in the world is she talking — what is there to be joyful about? Our borders? Eh. No there. Like there is nothing to be joyful about other than getting a president in here to clean up the mess.

Fox News pundit mocked for shrugging off Trump's legal woes as 'some issues in the court'
What do you call 91 criminal charges in four separate court cases, a $250 million civil fraud trial, a pending $10 million civil defamation lawsuit and presidential ballot-blocking litigation filed in 32 states across the U.S.?" If you’re Fox News' Julie Banderas, and you’re talking about former President Donald Trump, you call it “some issues in the court system.” Banderas used these words Friday to bemoan the “double standard” she says Trump is facing in Colorado and Maine, two states that have ruled Trump cannot appear on the 2024 presidential ballots under the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban.

At AI conference, religious leaders confront what technology could cost humanity
The conference, which featured a diverse array of political speakers, was organized by the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit that advocates against the risks of AI. In addition to the religious leaders, the conference laid bare the broader spectrum of Americans concerned about the potential impacts of AI: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Socialist, spoke immediately before Steve Bannon, the right-wing political strategist and onetime adviser to President Donald Trump. The conference comes as the AI sector remains roiled in an apocalyptic debate that began roughly a week ago, when AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from AI giant Anthropic. In a social media post, Coxon accused his former employer and its main competitor, OpenAI, of “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.” Soon after, a current Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, publicly agreed with Coxon, saying on X he and others at the company “really do earnestly believe” that there is a greater than 10% change that “AI could kill all humans!” (Religion News 9.15.26)READMORE>>>>>>
