A new bombshell report has revealed shocking new details about Kentucky Republican Senator Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao.Chao, 73, who married Sen. McConnell in 1993, may have closer ties to the Chinese Communist Party than previously believed.'Such a suggestion disregards her nearly five decades of faithful service to the United States and is both unfounded and deeply insulting, hurtful, and racist.'On Tuesday, the Daily Caller News Foundation published an exclusive report on Chao's alleged ties to the CCP, citing Chinese government and state media reports translated by the DCNF. Elaine Chao, whose Chinese name is reportedly Zhao Xiaolan, has worked in high-level positions in the United States government under two Republican administrations, most notably serving as President George W. Bush's secretary of labor and the Department of Transportation secretary during President Trump's first term in office.However, the DCNF claims Chao has also received at least four Chinese government positions since 2008, including within an influence and intelligence agency called the United Front Work Department. The extent to which she ever worked in these alleged roles is unclear. The DCNF claimed that the Chinese government and state media reports "describe Chao’s appointments in various ways, with some stating she had been 'hired' or had 'accepted an appointment letter,' while others simply note that she was then among those 'holding' a given title."According to a report published by the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, the UFWD is used to "gain access to advanced foreign technology" and is "one of the CCP's ways of building and wielding political power at home and abroad." RELATED: McConnell's latest health update raises new questions instead of settling them John Lamparski/Getty ImagesThe DCNF, citing Chinese government and state media reports, also reported that Chao's late sister, Angela Chao, and her father, James S.C. Chao, the founder of a large shipping firm called Foremost Group, also received positions in the Chinese government and UFWD positions. During the late 1980s, Elaine Chao served as the chair and commissioner of the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission, whose mission statement is to "ensure a competitive and reliable international ocean transportation supply system that supports the U.S. economy and protects the public from unfair and deceptive practices."A spokesman for Chao and Foremost Group, Patrick O'Connor, denied these reports concerning Chao, her father, and her sister. “She has never held a position with a foreign government or acted on behalf of one. We are not aware she has met with representatives from UFWD entities,” O’Connor said after being sent what the Caller claimed were "Chinese government and state media photos published between 2010 and 2026 showing Chao meeting with officials from the CCP and/or UFWD." “Such a suggestion disregards her nearly five decades of faithful service to the United States and is both unfounded and deeply insulting, hurtful and racist.”The DCNF pressed the spokesperson on how it is "racist" to investigate Chao's alleged ties to the Chinese government. “No one seems to care when most American business or political leaders hold meetings in China, so it’s suspicious when the Daily Caller makes insinuations about a former two-time cabinet secretary of Asian descent, especially based on photos, some of which are decades old,” O’Connor responded. “The secretary is a proud American who has devoted most of her professional life to serving the American people. To question her patriotism is a double standard, at best — racist, at worst.”Chao was born in Taiwan and obtained U.S. citizenship at the age of 19. The DCNF revealed that in February 2005, during her time as President George W. Bush's secretary of labor, Chao reportedly sent a handwritten reply and signed photo to the Jiading District Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese after receiving a Christmas card from the organization. These returned overseas Chinese organizations are guided by the UFWD.Questions about Elaine Chao have resurfaced after her husband, Sen. Mitch McConnell, had a health scare in June 2026. Questions have continued to swirl regarding his health and whereabouts, as he is expected to return to the Senate any day. Blaze News reached out to McConnell's office but did not immediately receive a response. McConnell's office declined a request for comment from the DCNF.Like Blaze News?

In 2010, Lady Gaga arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards draped in 50 pounds of flank steak. The world gasped, and the vegans wept. The rest of us assumed we had hit peak absurdity. We were wrong.Sixteen years later, her tech-billionaire fiancé, Michael Polansky, decided the singer’s meat-centric aesthetic lacked a vital component: actual human tissue.Their explicit goal is to fundamentally redesign the human condition.Outer Bio, which Polansky co-founded, uses foreskins and discarded post-surgical skin to train machine-learning algorithms and develop new cosmetic ingredients. When the internet caught wind of this rather odd model, the backlash was immediate. Discontented Redditors raged, focusing heavily on Polansky's connection to Lightspeed Venture Partners, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm that opened its first international office in Tel Aviv, to embed deeply within Israel's booming and sophisticated cybersecurity and intelligence industry. One particularly outraged comment has since been removed; the outrage one imagines still lingers.But financial backing misses the true horror. What matters more than profit is the philosophy driving the San Francisco startup. Silicon Valley exhausted its supply of digital text, public images, and behavioral metadata. The tech industry now craves fresh meat.This trajectory relies on a culture paralyzed by the prospect of aging. The anti-aging market is now worth more than $77 billion. By 2035, it will be worth almost twice that amount. Some 60% of Americans now regularly purchase anti-aging products.RELATED: This scandal-rocked tech company wants your attention on its product upgrades Getty Images The cultural pipeline moves with frightening momentum. A 30-something patient starts with Botox to freeze a forehead furrow. That gateway drug leads directly to synthetic facial fillers. Then comes the heroin-chic look of Ozempic face, followed by invasive surgical facelifts, daily regimens of questionable supplements, expensive longevity clinics, and finally, skin creams designed by AI. Outer Bio plans to license these algorithmic discoveries directly to beauty conglomerates and pharmaceutical giants, effectively turning the pursuit of youth into a high-margin supply chain.We built the digital world to make human labor easier. The engineering class shifted the goalposts somewhere along the line. Technologists no longer limit themselves to writing software that calculates tax returns or routes delivery trucks. Their explicit goal is to fundamentally redesign the human condition.Artificial intelligence operates far beyond the simple automation of workplace tasks. Silicon Valley sells a future where computational power extends life spans, modifies genetic code, replaces natural organ functions, and engineers customized medicines. Polansky’s company presents itself as a benign skin-care startup, but the underlying mechanics represent an opening salvo for transhumanism.Productizing human fleshThe process at work is a closed feedback loop. An algorithm predicts how specific chemical compounds will interact with skin tissue. Lab technicians test those predictions on discarded human cells grown in dishes. The biological results feed straight back into the computational model, refining the next run of predictions. The machine learns by experimenting on actual human material rather than lab rats.Medical research has historically relied on animal models to test chemicals and treatments. The scientific establishment increasingly seeks to replace mice with human-derived biological material. This is troubling. A culture that views the human body as just another biological input loses the ability to define why human life holds unique value.Consider the life cycle of a discarded surgical flap. A patient leaves a hospital operating room after a routine procedure, unaware that the facility owns his excised tissue. A biotech firm collects the discarded skin. An AI system parses the cellular data. The startup develops a patented cosmetic molecule. A multinational beauty corporation buys the license and sells a $500 jar of face cream back to the aging public.The patient whose body provided the initial cellular material receives nothing. Corporate entities claim absolute ownership over the biological information extracted from us. The human body becomes raw material, refined by machines and packaged for the very people who supplied the biomass in the first place.It sounds absurd, largely because it is. Yet this is the future that awaits us.A devil's bargain?To be fair, there are potential benefits. Research using human cells could lead to better drugs and new treatments and therapies for diseases that remain difficult or impossible to treat. If technology can create something that improves or even saves a life, it is hardly a development worth rejecting outright.But my concern lies elsewhere, specifically in treating the body as a leasehold property rather than a sacred vessel. Technologists view natural biological decline as an engineering flaw to be corrected in the next software update. They see the body as a collection of components to be optimized, with nonstop AI tuning and synthetic “upgrades.”We are watching the line between the organic and the artificial disappear. Silicon Valley built an empire by converting human attention into digital ad revenue. The next phase of commercial growth converts physical biology into proprietary intellectual property. The human body becomes just another cog in the corporate machine. In 2010, the vegans wept. Today, perhaps, we should all shed a tear.

The Trump administration recently revealed it is drafting a proposal, championed by Vice President JD Vance, to change how the government distributes money already earmarked for child care. The plan would tap the roughly $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund and make some of that money available to married couples with a stay-at-home parent. No new appropriation is involved.After months of conservative outrage over fraud and abuse in child care programs, you might expect the right to welcome a proposal that gives families another option. Instead, establishment conservatives attacked Vance with the usual charge: socialism.The deeper fight is political. Many of the people attacking the proposal are fighting over what kind of Republican Party comes after Trump and whether Vance should lead it.The episode reminds us that nearly every policy fight on the right now includes a second argument about the future of the Republican Party. It also shows how quickly ideological slogans replace political judgment.The Child Care and Development Fund was created in the 1990s to help low-income parents pay for care while they work or attend school. As currently structured, it subsidizes commercial child care but not a married parent who stays home to raise children. The administration’s draft proposal would not increase the fund. It would broaden who can receive money from the existing pool.That distinction did little to calm critics. Meghan McCain and Dana Loesch blasted the idea as big-government conservatism. Their objection rests on a familiar premise: Conservatives should abolish subsidies, not redirect them.Fine. Abolish them.But Congress won't do that.For most of history, becoming a widow or single mother was an economic catastrophe. Women depended heavily on husbands, fathers, brothers, and extended families for material support and physical protection. Industrialization, modern medicine, and mass employment changed some of those realities. Progressive feminism then used the state to change many more.The United States built a vast network of welfare programs, employment rules, education preferences, and subsidies designed in part to reduce women’s dependence on men. Whatever the original justification, these policies altered incentives. The state increasingly assumed functions once performed by husbands and families.It would be better to dismantle much of that system. But in a democracy where Congress can barely pass basic legislation, there is no serious prospect of stripping low-income mothers of child care benefits. The relevant question is therefore not whether the program should exist. It should not. The question is what conservatives do with a program that political reality will not allow them to eliminate.RELATED: We need lawfare for white men Blaze Media IllustrationThis is where the outrage over Vance’s proposal becomes revealing.Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the United States has committed well over $100 billion in military and nonmilitary support. Washington also provides Israel with about $3.8 billion in military aid each year, apart from extraordinary spending connected to recent wars in the Middle East. Yet redirecting already appropriated child care money toward married parents who raise their own children somehow triggers cries of socialism.Why?Florida offers a useful analogy. Lawmakers there expanded school-choice programs so public education dollars can follow families into private schools and other approved alternatives. Conservatives could argue that education taxes should simply be abolished. Politically, that is not happening. So lawmakers took money the state was already collecting and made it available to parents who rejected the government’s default institution.The principle is simple: Do not let the perfect become the enemy of the good.The political mistake is confusing accepting a program's existence with endorsing the philosophy that created it. Conservatives do this constantly. They inherit institutions designed by progressives, refuse to use them because doing so feels ideologically impure, and then act surprised when those institutions continue producing progressive outcomes. Power left unused does not disappear. It remains in the hands of people who are perfectly willing to use it against you.The conservative reaction to Vance suggests that much of the movement still prefers ideological purity to attainable victories. McCain warns about government spending, although her father famously cast the decisive vote against the Republican Obamacare repeal effort while supporting an interventionist foreign policy. Loesch argues that Congress should simply eliminate the child care program and cut the taxes that fund it.That would be wonderful. It also won't happen.A Republican Congress that struggles to pass even broadly popular priorities is not about to abolish a federal benefit for low-income working mothers. Pretending otherwise is not principled conservatism. It is political cosplay.Worse, the existing subsidy contains its own ideological bias. It rewards mothers for entering the paid workforce and purchasing child care while offering nothing to a mother who stays home and provides that care herself. Full-time mothers generate enormous social capital, but because their work does not produce a paycheck, it barely registers in the economic statistics that dominate policy debates.RELATED: This is what existential politics looks like Blaze Media IllustrationThe most basic lesson of economics is that you get more of what you subsidize. If government subsidizes commercial child care only when mothers leave home for paid employment, it creates an incentive to do so. Expanding eligibility to stay-at-home parents reduces that distortion.You can oppose the entire program and still recognize that.The Vance proposal does not allocate an additional dollar for child care. It uses executive discretion to change how it distributes existing funds. Critics can reasonably argue about whether the administration has statutory authority to make the change, how eligibility should work, or whether the fund should exist at all. Those are real arguments.Screaming “socialism” is not.The deeper fight is political. Many of the people attacking the proposal are fighting over what kind of Republican Party comes after Trump and whether Vance should lead it.That’s why a modest change to an existing subsidy produces such hysterics. The old conservative movement would rather preserve ideological purity than use available power to produce a better outcome. Vance’s proposal exposes that instinct in miniature — and shows why the GOP still has a loser mentality.

California police are searching for a man in his 20s who allegedly beat an elderly woman with an aluminum baseball bat.The woman's family says that the 71-year-old had offered to let the young man stay at her home in Crestline in San Bernardino County.'If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home.' Therese Garcia had met the man while she sat on her front porch, her daughter said to KNBC-TV.The 26-year-old man told Garcia that all of his belongings had been stolen while he was camping, and she offered him space at her home. After two weeks, the man started to take over her home, leading Garcia to ask him to leave.That's when the man got violent, according to Garcia's daughter."When she went to sleep that night, she just woke up to him beating her with a metal bat, and that went on for hours," said Abbie Garcia."She would lose consciousness and wake up a little bit," she added. "Every time she would wake up a little bit, he would come back and beat her again to the point where she finally lost consciousness fully."The man stole the woman's keys, phone, and e-bike before fleeing.Her daughter said that Garcia was found after the neighbors called for a wellness check from police. "If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home," she said. RELATED: Shocking police footage shows man brutally beating victim with a baseball bat The victim suffered injuries that included broken bones, deep lacerations, and a traumatic brain injury, according to her daughter. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office later identified the suspect as Erik Eduardo Navarro of Orange County."My mom didn't deserve this," Abbie Garcia added. "She was simply trying to help someone she believed was in need, something she has always done throughout her life. This time, her kindness was met with unimaginable violence."Like Blaze News?

Canada’s descent into madness just got worse.On September 2, a Canadian reporter from the state-subsidized Global News outlet asked U.S. Admiral Samuel Paparo at a military conference in Victoria, B.C., whether he would obey an order from President Trump to attack Canada.“I find that scenario to be absolutely and utterly preposterous,” Paparo retorted. "I follow the orders of the commander in chief, but that is a needlessly emotional question.”Even though he explicitly called Canada a “close ally” of the U.S., the reporter pressed him again, accusing Paparo of not answering the question.“I said I follow the orders of the president,” Paparo reiterated, comparing the reporter’s question to inquiring about “attack plans … for the Martians.”Glenn Beck agrees with Paparo that such a loaded question is utterly "preposterous." “He has to answer, ‘I follow the instructions of the commander of the United States.’ … He's in uniform. That's what he does,” he exclaims.“Now, a separate question: If the president called you up today and said, ‘Hey, I need you to launch missiles against Mark Carney,’ I would bet any admiral, every admiral, would go, ‘Mr. President, can I get your code again, please? That doesn't make any sense,”’ Glenn continues.But he knows such an order is utterly ludicrous and thus virtually impossible.“Those would be the orders of an absolute lunatic,” he says. “We're not at war. Mark Carney is the one who said we're at war. … [President Trump] has sent person after person after person to talk to the Canadians and say, ‘We're not in a war.”’If Global News’ attempt to bait a U.S. admiral into a Canada-invasion sound bite wasn’t bad enough, another state-subsidized news outlet then took the brief and awkward exchange and framed it as though Paparo had refused to answer the inquiry and would unquestionably follow any order from Trump.Glenn calls out the “Ottawa Citizen” for publishing a deceptive article titled “U.S. admiral dodges questions about attacking Canada but acknowledges he would follow Trump’s orders.”“That's not dodging. That's a stupid question. We are allies,” he says.The Global News reporter who targeted Paparo, Glenn says, “[needs] a medical checkup.”“And the good thing is there's room for you to see the doctor probably in June of 2028,” he jokes.Canada, Glenn explains, is so tied in knots about an imaginary war with Trump that it is ignoring a very real and ominous problem: It’s “cozying up” to anti-Western powers that might eventually put Canada at odds with the U.S.“You keep cozying up to China, you keep bringing China in. … [The U.S.] can't trade with you because China is a threat to the United States,” says Glenn, “and the closer you get to them, the more we have to build a wall, either literally or figuratively, between us.”He continues, “The more you get in bed with radicalized Islam to the point where you have 2,000 Canadian Jews going, ‘I've got to get out of here’ … the more we have to distance ourselves.”“You keep going down this road for 10 years, and you know what? There might be a battle plan on the table,” he warns.But Canada, says Glenn, is likely to become an “enemy of God” before it becomes an enemy of the U.S.“If you become more communist, more Marxist, more collectivist, you keep killing your people [via the Medical Assistance in Dying program] at the clip you're killing them at, in the name of ‘compassion,’ you're not an enemy of the United States; you're an enemy of mankind — you're an enemy of God,” he warns.“He's going to solve that problem long before the U.S. military will. You're going to collapse.”To hear more, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Football is back. The first harbinger of fall is just around the corner, bringing game-day tailgates, late-night bonfires, and hope that this just might be your team’s year to win it all.Fueling this hope is a fresh round of hype videos getting folks excited for the season. For NFL and college football fans alike, these edits of last season’s highlights are just the thing to paper over last year’s disappointment and turn over a new leaf for the season ahead.The real strength of the conservative movement is not in the ivory tower or stone colonnade.One hype video broke out of the college football echo chamber with over 4.5 million views online. What about this video is so resonant? The message — and conservatives should take notice.The video opens in the Auburn Tigers' locker room, where coach Hugh Freeze is giving a pep talk. “Life is more about others than it is yourself,” he begins. “What buys long-lasting purpose is you understanding selflessness and it being about something bigger than yourself.”Hopefully every coach and every political movement understands teamwork relies on humility to achieve a larger goal.He continues, “Tonight, I submit to you that there’s some family that drove from I don’t know where, parked five miles away from this stadium, and they saved all ... year long, just to buy a ticket, to climb to the top of that stadium and watch your tail play!”As the music builds to a crescendo, Freeze screams the most potent line of the video: “YOU OWE THEM SOMETHING!”In sports, as in politics, conservatives must recommit to playing for the fans in the cheap seats.This does not mean rallying around the lowest common denominator or dumbing down conservative messaging. It means remembering why so many conservative advocates got into the trenches to begin with.How many of those players in the Auburn locker room started as kids in the cheap seats?How many conservative politicos began as local activists knocking doors, eating cold pizza, and making calls for something they really believed in? Conservatives need to recapture some of that grassroots energy and turn it into tangible victories for the people who put them in office.We owe them something.For those working in the professional conservative movement in D.C., that means less time on niche debates and more time delivering for average Americans who share conservative values and need a voice in the nation’s capital.In 2024, voters elected President Trump and a Republican Congress on clear promises to improve the country. They expect results, just like the family saving all year for one game expects the team to leave it all on the field.With the announcement that the House is canceling the final two weeks of session this month, it’s now or never. The House will have four days left to crystallize the case they’ll take home ahead of the November elections.There is no shortage of opportunities to create contrast.RELATED: Congress gets a clean vote on gender sanity Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call Inc./Getty ImagesThe Chloe Cole Act from Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) or the Title IX Clarification Act from Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) would undermine the gender industrial complex in medicine and women’s sports.The southern border is secure in part because of President Trump’s executive orders; Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy’s Permanent Trump Secure Border Act would codify the administrative changes necessary to preserve national sovereignty if another open-borders Democrat came into office.House Republicans could take a major step forward toward a longtime conservative priority to close the Department of Education by passing the Less Bureaucracy, Better Education Package, codifying transfers of authority of duplicative education programs.Passing any of these measures would be a good step to demonstrate that conservatives in Washington are moving the ball down the field for those cheering fans.No one wants to cheer for a team calling it quits while there is still time on the clock.Those in D.C. tend to bristle at giving credit beyond their elite circles, but it is time to acknowledge the real strength of the conservative movement is not in the ivory tower or stone colonnade.It lies in every hardworking American chasing the American dream who still believes in the principles that have made America exceptional and votes to keep it that way.We owe them our best. Let’s give them a reason to show up.

Quoting Terence Tao

I wrote recently about how the collection of good, fruitful open problems is now being mined in a non-renewable fashion, leading to the potential scenario of these problems becoming scarce. [...] We have now seen that even the rumor of someone working on a problem can trigger a massive amount of AI-powered effort to flatten it before the original research project has time to reach its full potential. The incentives may now be pointing in the direction of no longer sharing any promising research directions with the broader community, which would reverse centuries of traditions of open science and do serious long-term damage to the future of the field. — Terence Tao Tags: ai-ethics, mathematics, ai

On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem Impressive result from OpenAI, who used an unreleased model to produce a resolution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems that have been subject to a $1,000,000 prize since May 24th, 2000. The discovery is somewhat overshadowed by accusations of skulduggery from Tristan Buckmaster, an NYU mathematics professor who was collaborating on related problems with Levent Alpöge, an accomplished mathematician who currently works for Anthropic. Tristan's complaint accompanied a hastily published version of their own results. Here's the PDF describing what happened. The very short version is that Tristan and Levent worked on the problem for almost a year, making extensive use of Claude and Codex (mainly GPT-5.6 Sol), then had a breakthrough on August 15th. The mathematical rumour mill kicked into gear and Tristan and Levent heard that OpenAI had heard that Anthropic had resolved "a major open problem", so they reached out and learned that OpenAI had a team working on a related problem, with a similar approach. Quoting Tristan: I asked when the first prompt had been sent by them. This question was not answered directly by OpenAI for some time. Eventually it was agreed that it had been sent in the past few days, after information about our work had reached OpenAI. I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions in Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about training, and I did not get an answer. It gets more complicated from there. The OpenAI team offered to wait for Tristan to publish, or to have him author a paper about their result, but were clear that Levent would not be invited as a co-author due to OpenAI's competitive relationship with his employer. Here's how OpenAI described their work: On Tuesday, September 1, we heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been resolved. Inspired by these rumors and by the step change in performance of our internal model, we launched an effort to evaluate it on all open Millennium Prize problems and a few other high-impact problems. [...] The agents arrived at their resolution on Saturday, September 5, about 88 hours after the first agents were launched. Lean formalization and verification took an additional 17 hours via GPT‑6 Astra. Across all attempted problems, the agents sent 4.9 million messages and used about 300 billion output tokens. In the process of resolving the Navier–Stokes problem, the agents sent 2.7 million messages and used approximately 130 billion output tokens. (We don't know the cost structure of the internal model they used, but 300 billion output tokens at public API prices for GPT-6 Astra would cost $15,000,000.) Here's where they provide their perspective on Tristan and Levent's work (emphasis mine): Our effort began on September 1st after hearing a rumor which we later realized was related to Levent Alpöge, an Anthropic employee, and Tristan Buckmaster, a math professor at NYU. After the completion of our full project and Lean verification (on September 6th), believing from the rumor they also had a solution of Navier–Stokes, we reached out to them to offer a concurrent release of our result and to recognize their priority in a joint announcement. [...] We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models. However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs unforced). My interpretation of what happened here is that OpenAI heard that some Millennium Prize problems had been solved using LLMs and saw this as an opportunity to demonstrate the power of their latest model, without thinking too hard about the optics of scooping a team who had been using OpenAI's own models to work on this problem for the best part of a year. This situation appears to mirror what's happening in the world of computer security right now. Anil Madhavapeddy recently pointed out that Just a rumour of a bug is enough to find a security exploit these days, because if someone knows that some software has an unpatched vulnerability, they can set their agents the task of finding it. Is the same now true of mathematics? Just knowing that there is an unpublished solution to a problem might trigger millions of dollars in LLM spending to get there first. This also highlights one of my ongoing frustrations about how all of this works. When an AI lab says that my data is "used to improve model performance", what does that actually mean? My two favourite hypothetical questions regarding this used to be: If I'm running Codex and one of my API keys accidentally gets consumed in the context, what are the chances that someone else might ask for an API key in the future and get mine back? (I asked someone at OpenAI once and they called this the "regurgitation" problem and assured me that they take great pains to prevent that... but wouldn't describe how.) If I brainstorm with ChatGPT about potential new directions for my company, what's the chance that information might be exposed to a competitor in six months' time who asks "what might company X plan to do next"? My new preferred hypothetical for this is: If I use ChatGPT to help me partially solve a Millennium Prize problem, what are the chances that my work will influence training such that a later model helps someone else solve it first?

The Nike sportswear company has lost so much value that it's getting tossed out of the S&P 100 stock index charting the top 100 U.S. businesses.The company was mocked by many on the right over its marketing campaigns featuring controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick and transgender activist Dylan McDermott.'NIKE filled its executive positions with feminists and woke ideology advocates. ... Companies that embrace femicentric ideologies and DEI buls**t will always suffer.' Nike has lost about $200 billion in market valuation since reaching its highest value in 2021.The company's CEO, Elliott Hill, said that he was confident the company could reverse the downturn in a recent earnings call with investors."Overall, the results aren’t there yet," he admitted.Many on the right called for a boycott of Nike products after the company signed up Kaepernick to promote the brand while he continued to bash police and support the "Black Lives Matter" movement.The company also partnered with McDermott to push the transgender agenda."Well, Nike sure owned the floor. And busted right through it. Get woke, go broke," wrote Spencer Pratt about one of the company's ads. "Bye Bye Nike. Your WOKE arrogance caught up with you and you will not be missed. Please share the hard learned message with your NFL, NBA, MLB brethren and WNBA sisters," responded Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah). "NIKE filled its executive positions with feminists and woke ideology advocates. Its stock has been plummeting. Companies that embrace femicentric ideologies and DEI buls**t will always suffer," said another critic on X.

For years, television series have beat audiences over the head with progressive messaging. Many attempts to counter-produce alternatives with traditional and faith-centered themes either died before production or failed to break through.But that trend hasn’t reached Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing’s fantasy series “The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin” — an explicitly Christian adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead’s novels about the origins of Merlin and early Arthurian legends.The series debuted on DailyWire+ in January and later became the No. 1 fantasy series in the U.K., Ireland, Spain, and Portugal after hitting Prime Video overseas; it arrived on Prime in the U.S. on September 1 and has continued to climb.Now Boreing joins Christopher Rufo and Jonathan Keeperman, co-hosts of “Rufo and Lomez,” to discuss why conservatives keep underperforming in entertainment — and how “Pendragon” successfully broke the pattern. “You've managed to do the impossible,” Keeperman tells Boreing, “which is make something that looks great, it's slick, it's professional, it's well acted, it's well written, it looks like a high production TV show ought to look, and you've done it within the conservative ecosystem.”“And moreover, it's a show that's not about politics, per se. It's just good storytelling,” he adds.He inquires about how Boreing was able to “pull this rabbit out the hat.”“The hard way, of course,” Boreing quips.“Art is very ambitious, and a show like ‘The Pendragon Cycle’ requires an awful lot of risk to be taken by an awful lot of people,” he continues, highlighting the Daily Wire, executive producer Dallas Sonnier, and “the cast and crew” as the primary risk-takers who saw the lofty project from idea to reality.As for the actors, Boreing praises them as “the greatest ensemble of relatively unknown actors maybe ever assembled.”“I'm so proud of this cast,” he adds, “but it's a risk for them to associate with what they feared would be a really political operation. Of course, it didn't turn out to be because that wasn't what we were chasing. We were chasing true entertainment and true art.”Entertainment, Boreing notes, is an area conservatives tend to underachieve.“We think that the audience will only accept a polemic, but that isn't true,” he says. “Our audience engages with entertainment and art just as much as any other audience.”The problem, he says, is that conservative audiences haven’t “had any instruction” on what “good art with [conservative] values” looks like because it’s “so rare.”“What we're left with is what I call the ‘want to want to’s’ ... movies that nobody actually wants to see, but ... they want to support it,” Boreing explains, noting that these conservatives usually end up “[watching] the exact same television as everyone else” despite progressive themes and values.This is deeply problematic, he argues, because as “Will and Grace” demonstrated with public attitudes toward homosexuality in the late 1990s and early 2000s, television can “actually [change] how an entire generation” views political issues.“That's the power of actual entertainment,” says Boreing. “[‘Will and Grace’] did that not leading with its politics; it did it by completely immersing an audience into the lives of a set of characters who had a particular point of view, and it drew you into that point of view, and we tried to do the same with 'Pendragon.'”To hear more about the series, watch the episode above.Want more from Rufo & Lomez?To enjoy more of the news through the anthropological lens of Christopher Rufo and Lomez, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Various businesses are cutting ties with a brewery in Tacoma, Washington, after it was discovered that the owners made a donation to political action group opposed to liberal policies.The backlash against the E9 Brewing Co. & Taproom began after a socialist political activist outed the organizations that had backed the Let's Go Washington PAC.'After learning of their donation to Let’s Go Washington, we will no longer be carrying E9 beers.' The PAC raised money to oppose transgender athletes in women's sports and the millionaire's tax, as well as to support a parental bill of rights.The brewery owners, brothers John and Lucas Xitco, said that they had donated to the PAC to oppose the tax.Zev Cook, the activist who exposed the Xitcos' donations, had been a Tacoma City Council candidate and also a co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America in Tacoma. Cook also identifies as a transgender woman. Some of the restaurants are pledging to stop selling the brewery's offerings."We are an anti-fascist restaurant, we support trans kids, we believe in a progressive tax system. Therefore, after learning of their donation to Let’s Go Washington, we will no longer be carrying E9 beers," read a statement from Corbeau restaurant on Instagram. Dusty’s Hideaway said it would sell its remaining inventory of E9 beers and donate the proceeds to help a transgender employee receive top surgery.John Xitco vehemently denied that the donations had anything to do with the transgender issues and provided evidence supporting his claim to the Bellingham Herald."We supported the tax initiative. We didn’t even know about the other initiatives," he said. RELATED: Female wrestler alleging sex assault by trans-identifying male during match sues high school Xitco also posted a statement saying he would donate to LGBTQ+ centers in the wake of the outrage."We have long supported the LGBTQ+ community," he wrote.

Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.5

Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.5 OpenAI's image generation models are apparently used "more than 3 billion images across ChatGPT Images and the GPT‑Image models in the API". This latest release improves their instruction-following ability across multiple turns, responds faster, and "is better at preserving the subjects in your reference photos". There are two new model IDs in the API: gpt-image-2.5-sunburst and gpt-image-2.5-flare. Based on this I think Sunburst is the stronger option: Choose Sunburst for workflows where editing precision matters most, and Flare for fast, high-quality everyday image generation. I upgraded my openai_image.py CLI tool to support passing in one or more reference images, so now this works: uv run https://tools.simonwillison.net/python/openai_image.py \ 'add a raccoon scientist studying the chart thoughtfully' \ -i https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/openai-agent-usage.webp \ -m gpt-image-2.5-sunburst This is the original image, and here's what I got back from that prompt to "add a raccoon scientist studying the chart thoughtfully": Tags: tools, ai, openai, generative-ai, uv, text-to-image

The United States armed forces are often parodied or serve as the inspiration for many Hollywood films, but it's typically not the other way around.With the Space Force, for example, the entity saw a near-immediate parody after its founding in 2019, with actors like Steve Carell and John Malkovich tapped to do the deed.'It's afraid.'Verhoeven-coreFive months after President Donald Trump and his administration founded the Space Force in December 2019, Netflix launched a comedy series based on the new agency.Although "Space Force" portrayed members with their own unique dark-blue dress uniforms, this was a bit of creative license. In reality, Guardians have worn "modified Air Force uniform[s]" since the Space Force was established.That has been changing. The Space Force unveiled a prototype of its own service dress uniform in 2021 and spent the following years refining the design. In January, the service formally introduced the finished uniform and outlined plans for its rollout.Now Trump appears to have something else in mind.On Sunday, the president posted an image to Truth Social depicting a proposed “next generation” Space Force dress uniform.“Inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform,” the image read, “modernized for the Guardians of the Space Domain.” Its colors were identified as Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.But the apparent inspiration for the design quickly attracted attention.The reference is to “Starship Troopers,” Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 science-fiction satire, whose futuristic military aesthetic deliberately borrowed from Nazi imagery. Verhoeven has said he intended the film to depict a fascist society whose inhabitants did not recognize themselves as fascists.Forbes was among the outlets to note the resemblance, calling the style "Sci-Fi Fascist."RELATED: Deceptive slop is now junking up our favorite map apps. Don't be fooled. Cult following"Starship Troopers" has developed a cult following, thanks in part to its bizarre humor, memorable lines, bloody action sequences, and hordes of giant alien bugs.The film takes place in a distant future in which Earth is controlled by a single government known as the Terran Federation. Full citizenship — including the right to vote — is reserved for those who complete a term of federal service, which for the film's main characters means joining the military.Citizenship also carries other privileges. At one point, a character says she wants to serve because it will make it easier for her to obtain a license to have children.The society is deliberately depicted as an outwardly prosperous and harmonious but deeply militaristic regime, complete with government propaganda, constant appeals to sacrifice, and an enemy — the alien “bugs” — against which humanity can unite.Director Paul Verhoeven told Interview magazine in 2017 that he “wanted these people to be like proto-Nazis, proto-Aryans.”A year later, Verhoeven told the Guardian that he had deliberately borrowed imagery from Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda films, including “Triumph of the Will,” while filming the movie's propaganda sequences.“I was using Riefenstahl to point out, or so I thought, that these heroes and heroines were straight out of Nazi propaganda,” Verhoeven said. “No one saw it at the time.”“I thought Neil Patrick Harris arriving on the set in an SS uniform might clear it up.”RELATED: Worse than Flock: Josh Hawley expands 'unprecedented national surveillance' investigation Clothes callDespite that satirical intent, the movie is perhaps best remembered by fans for its gleefully over-the-top propaganda sequences and endlessly quotable lines, including “I'm doing my part!” and “It's afraid!” For many, the film has become a beloved sci-fi action comedy whose militaristic excess is part of the joke.The Space Force, meanwhile, continues with its years-in-development uniform roll out. An Honor Guard version, featuring distinctive light-blue accents, made its public debut last month.It remains unclear where Trump's “Starship Troopers”-inspired design fits into those plans. While the president's post described it as a “next generation” uniform, it did not say when it would be introduced or whether it would replace the service dress uniform already being rolled out.“Our service dress uniform represents the unique identity of Guardians, blending heritage with a modern design that reflects our unity and mission,” then-Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said in January. “From the start, Guardian feedback shaped its design and fit. I know the force will wear it with pride.”

Democrat New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after a bizarre decision he made that many took as an insult to 9/11 victims.The Muslim mayor signed a 9/11 remembrance declaration on Friday, just ahead of the 25th anniversary of the horrific terror attacks that claimed 2,977 American lives.'The families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have every right to be outraged. On the 25th anniversary, City Hall should be honoring their sacrifice with dignity, not forcing those families to endure yet another insult.'While no one took issue with the declaration, many were offended when he handed a ceremonial pen to the NYPD commissioner to give to chief counsel Ramzi Kassem.Kassem had previously acted as legal counsel for Ahmed al-Darbi, a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist whose brother-in-law hijacked the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. New Yorkers and others expressed their anger on social media."I sincerely hope the rest of the country understands just how hard it is to be in New York City with this mayor, and especially as we’re approaching this most serious and solemn day for NYC: 9/11," responded Maria Danzilo, a former state Senate candidate."He’s laughing at every American patriot who lost someone that day. He’s pissing on everyone who went in to try to save people in the towers. He hates you all," replied one user on the X platform."Mamdani handed that guy that pen very f**kin intentionally," said another critic. "It wasn't an oversight or a gaffe, it was a totally intentional signal to the whole city that the worst event in its history doesn't matter to him. He doesn't give a f**k about survivors and he wants everyone to know it.""It shows exactly where his loyalties truly lie," said Republican Council Member Joann Ariola of the "breathtakingly tone-deaf and disrespectful" stunt."The families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have every right to be outraged," she added. "On the 25th anniversary, City Hall should be honoring their sacrifice with dignity, not forcing those families to endure yet another insult."RELATED: Prominent professor supported Mamdani's socialist scheme — until he became a target City Hall told Fox News Digital that Kassem was at the ceremony because his team drafted the declaration as Mamdani's legal counsel.Al-Darbi was sent to Guantanamo Bay on terror charges. He was convicted in 2017 and sent to Saudi Arabia a year later.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

The trial of Lindsay Clancy has become a boiling point in the national debate over mental illness, motherhood, and criminal responsibility — and while BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey doesn’t dispute that the mother was struggling psychologically, she doesn’t agree that it should excuse such an alleged horrific crime.Especially considering almost no one who commits murder is mentally sound.“Jeffrey Dahmer, probably not super sane. Ted Bundy, probably not the most mentally composed guy,” Stuckey says.“If you are going on a[n] [alleged] killing rampage, especially one as relentless as this one, you probably are not firing on all cylinders mentally, of course,” she explains. “But if we were to dismiss every person who had some kind of mental illness as not being criminally liable, then most of our prisons would be empty, and that wouldn’t be a good thing.”The world, she notes, would “be a lot less safe.”“So this case is really not about whether Lindsay Clancy was suffering mentally. Nearly everyone agrees that she was. I agree that she was,” Stuckey says.“This case is not about our mental health system or how it treats women or what’s in the DSM5 and what’s not. That’s a distraction to get you angry and passionate about an important issue, but an issue that’s not on trial here,” prosecutor Jennifer Sprague said at the trial.However, none of this has stopped women from voicing their support for Clancy — which prompts Stuckey to address them with a question.“Would you show the same mercy to Lindsay if she had killed your children? Would you feel the same deep empathy for her mental struggles? Would you opt for keeping her out of prison because, well, she was having a hard time mentally and she had been taking pills on and off?” she asks.“Hopefully not,” she continues. “I’m just afraid that too many women left and right think justice is dictated by how deeply we can relate to the people involved. Because some of you can see yourself in Lindsay’s depression or anxiety and can’t relate to her children, you feel compelled to defend her.”But if these women ask themselves these questions and remain steadfast in their belief, Stuckey explains that’s “beyond” where she can reach them.“Empathy-based justice is not justice at all,” she says. “Again, it’s partiality, which God calls evil."“We don't make these decisions based on whether or not we can relate to someone,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

There's nothing more American than a comeback.It's been a long time since Branson, Missouri, has been the town to talk about, but that's where one comedian has been making people laugh for more than 30 years.'Beautiful, cold Russian eyes.'Comedy comradesBeloved formet-Soviet comic Yakov Smirnoff has had a quiet residency at Yakov's Theatre since the early 1990s, and now at 75 years young, he has been launched back into the spotlight for longtime fans and a new generation.Smirnoff appeared on Monday night's episode of "Kill Tony," cracking jokes alongside host Tony Hinchcliffe and Estonian comedian Ari Matti.The comedian told hilarious stories about his career status when the Soviet Union collapsed, sharing with the audience how he found himself on the outs in the entertainment industry. He referenced David Letterman making a Top 10 list of things that would change after the fall of the USSR; Smirnoff being out of work was No. 1.Smirnoff said he moved to Missouri because he was looking for a place that didn't know about the end of the Soviet Union and settled on Branson, where "they still don't know."The punchline master also recited a joke about a communist party leader asking a factory worker whether he could work after one glass of vodka, then two, then three.The worker replied, "I'm here aren't I?"RELATED: Masculinity is back — and it's coming from the most unlikely source No 'country' for young comicsWhile Smirnoff declined to deploy his signature line, "What a country," during the stand-up comedy podcast, that didn't stop resident wildcard Matti from deploying it on several occasions on his behalf.Matti yelled the phrase when an audience member came onto the stage to give a comedian his first kiss and did so again when he was purposely embarrassing another rookie comedian by getting uncomfortably close and wrapping his legs around him."What a country!" Matti yelled, to awkward applause.The show reached nearly one million views in 12 hours on YouTube, with Smirnoff and Matti connecting over the proximity of their home countries and a mutual hate between neighboring allies.One comedian who appeared on the show said he was adopted from Russia, with Smirnoff saying he could recognize his "beautiful, cold Russian eyes."The comedian was forced to take off his glasses and look at a camera, like a villain from "Die Hard."RELATED: When Labor Day meant 21 hours of anything-goes TV — and millions raised for charity Paul Slaughter /American Broadcasting Companies/Getty Images Bump and grindSmirnoff isn't the first comedian to get the "Kill Tony" boost after years on the sidelines.Former huge names like Roseanne, Pauly Shore, and Andrew Dice Clay have walked through the halls of Joe Rogan's Mothership comedy venue and received what is known as the "Kill Tony" bump, which equates to an immediate boost in popularity.Smirnoff is branching out from his Missouri residency and going on a countrywide tour, and things are likely to pick up even more after the appearance.Like Blaze News?

Fans of a popular Catholic superhero character were disappointed to learn that he is not returning to the "X-Men 97" animated series on the Disney Plus platform. Nightcrawler is a blue-skinned mutant who first appeared in the pages of the "X-Men" comic books in 1975 and quickly became a fan favorite. 'Wagner is extremely religious, and as a man of faith, he believes that sacrificing himself to save his sister's life is the most righteous thing a person could do, which fits his character perfectly.'The character, whose non-hero name is Kurt Wagner, is also deeply religious and would often refer to his Catholic faith in the comics and live-action adaptations of the superhero comics. In an emotional climax of the second season of the animated superhero series, the Nightcrawler character sacrifices his life to save that of another superhero. "I have faith" are his last words. While most comic-book deaths are not final, the executive producer of the show said that Nightcrawler's death would be permanent. Eric Lewald told the Direct at the MultiCon convention in Los Angeles that Nightcrawler would not return to the series. "The finale of Season 2 is very emotional, and it's earned," added Julia Lewald, another executive producer of the show. "It is earned because those are the characters that we've all spent 30 years marinating in and thinking of and loving."RELATED: 'X-Men' show has 'nonbinary' character turn into woman and confess love for Wolverine Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images The Direct entertainment writer Geraldo Amartey explains how the character's Catholic faith is pivotal to explaining his last act in the show. "It would have been great to see Nightcrawler return in future episodes, but he went out the right way. Wagner is extremely religious, and as a man of faith, he believes that sacrificing himself to save his sister's life is the most righteous thing a person could do, which fits his character perfectly. It is painful to watch Nightcrawler go, but bringing him back would undercut the gravity of his sacrifice and look like a cheap cop-out."The third season of "X-Men 97" is scheduled for release in 2027.

I knew Charlie Kirk. He was my friend, and that friendship changed my life. When he was assassinated on September 10, 2025, I did what you do when your own words fail. I went back to his.“Charlie Kirk, in His Own Words” is the result. It gathers his social media posts, curated one by one from 2011 to the day he died, and weaves in never-before-seen photographs and testimonials from the people who loved him.Charlie Kirk understood that when speech is controlled, power concentrates and people learn to keep their real thoughts to themselves.I am not making a dollar from this book. All proceeds go to Carry the Torch, the nonprofit I founded in his honor. This book is a gift, my thank-you to a man who spent his life telling young people the truth.The selections are Charlie unfiltered, saying exactly what he believed and inviting anyone who disagreed to come and say so to his face.Freedom of speech and an invitation to debateFree speech was one of Charlie’s clearest instincts in public life. He treated the First Amendment as a safeguard for ordinary people — especially those without power, status, or institutional cover.He understood that when speech is protected, a country can argue, correct itself, and stay honest; when it is controlled, power concentrates and people learn to keep their real thoughts to themselves.He also understood how censorship spreads: It rarely begins with the average person. It begins with a claimed emergency, a claimed harm, a claimed moral cause — and then the boundaries tighten.Kirk liked the part of politics where you cannot hide — a microphone, a chair, a crowd, and a clock. Debate forced clarity: it made people define terms, defend claims, and sit with the consequences of their own logic.Campus debates mattered to him for another reason too — universities were supposed to be places of open dialogue, and he watched that promise shrink under administrators who treated disagreement as harm. But when students still showed up, argued back, and kept listening, he saw proof that the story wasn’t finished.His respect for debate was not limited to his own side. He wanted arguments in daylight. No censorship. No cowardice. No hiding.The quotes that follow show what that commitment sounded like in Charlie’s own words — on free speech, censorship, disagreement, and the obligation to make your case rather than silence the other side.RELATED: WaPo ordered to rehire anti-white radical fired over Charlie Kirk assassination comments ISABEL INFANTES/AFP/Getty ImagesFree speech as birthright5 million followers!

When Sean Duffy's daughter announced she wanted to attend Harvard University, the transportation secretary's reaction might have been torn apart by the left, but it couldn't have been more relatable to conservative parents across the country.In a clip from their series “The Great American Road Trip,” Duffy’s daughter Paloma tells the secretary that he “can’t say no" to Harvard.“Well, me and Mom can say no,” Duffy responded.Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, went on to explain their reasoning.“Catholicism, to us, is everything. It’s the basis of our marriage; it’s the basis of our family. So I’m nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard. We spend a lot of time nurturing and providing formation for our kids, giving them an environment where they are steeped in faith and values,” Campos-Duffy said.“And so the idea of dropping her off at a place that would undermine that or try to undo all those things makes me worried,” she added.“And again, I don’t want them to get one viewpoint. I want them to get a lot of different viewpoints, but I don’t want them fed only one viewpoint that’s contrary to the way my kids were raised,” Duffy chimed in.Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is all too familiar with their struggle, telling Duffy “congratulations” for putting his foot down.“I saw the look on your daughter’s face in that video … when you said, ‘Well, your mom and dad can say no,’ and that is so hard, and parents are dealing with this,” Glenn comments. “Why do you feel so strongly about this?”“I think American conservative families are having this conversation every single day because they know, whether it’s a family member or a friend or a neighbor who has sent their kid off to school, and ... they come back and they’re unrecognizable. We don’t know who these kids are,” Duffy tells Glenn.“They’ve been completely contorted and converted from these liberal institutions,” he adds.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

New allegations are emerging about the illegal immigrant from El Salvador accused of killing a Virginia mother after she purportedly exposed their affair to his girlfriend.As Blaze News previously reported, 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch was found brutally stabbed to death around 6:45 a.m. on Aug. 17 at the parking lot of Difficult Run Park in Great Falls, Virginia. 'All very premeditated.'The Fairfax County Police announced in an August statement that 19-year-old Alexis Cedillos-Campos was arrested "in connection with the homicide" of Puch.At the same time, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified Cedillos-Campos as an illegal alien who had been released into the United States under the Biden administration."The Biden administration hand-delivered Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos to the streets of Fairfax County," the DHS stated. "Cedillos-Campos is a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested by CBP in 2024, after illegally crossing the Biden administration’s open border near El Paso, TX."The DHS said Cedillos-Campos was released into the "interior of our country" after his arrest. Cedillos-Campos knew Puch because they both worked at the Bitez restaurant in Herndon, sources told WRC-TV.The suspect and victim were reportedly in a love triangle. Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis stated last month, "There are other aspects of that intimate relationship that involve other people.""We have video footage of our suspect at the restaurant where he worked with our victim, arming himself with a fixed-blade knife, taking a pair of black latex gloves, taking a water bottle, and then off he goes with the intent to do harm and kill the victim," Davis said, according to the New York Post. Davis noted, "All very premeditated."Davis claimed Cedillos-Campos stabbed Puch multiple times and then attempted to burn the victim."No one deserves to be treated the way that our victim was treated," Davis said. "And she was stabbed repeatedly – repeatedly – by our 19-year-old killer.""He ended up syphoning gasoline from his motorcycle," Davis continued. "He filled the water bottle with gasoline after he dumped the water." Police said the suspect doused Puch with gasoline and tried to set her on fire, but was unsuccessful. Cedillos-Campos was taken into custody in Prince George’s County on Aug. 19, and he attempted to flee from officers when confronted by police, prosecutors said. WTTG-TV reported Cedillos-Campos was arrested in Maryland by officers with the Prince George's County Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service and extradited to Virginia.Cedillos-Campos was charged with second-degree murder. WUSA-TV reported that Cedillos-Campos is being held without bond.RELATED: Brazilian au pair turns on former lover during murder trial, says he plotted wife's death by luring stranger from fetish site WRC-TV reported, "The night of the homicide, Cedillos-Campos left work early, upset that Puch 'sent screenshots of their affair' to Cedillos-Campos' girlfriend, according to the criminal complaint."The witness told authorities that he overheard a phone conversation between Cedillos-Campos and Puch in which they made plans to meet, according to the criminal complaint.A witness informed police that the suspect said he was going to kill Puch, court documents said.The criminal complaint said Cedillos-Campos allegedly called the witness to say "he did it" before hanging up — which the witness interpreted to mean he had killed Puch.WUSA reported, "Investigators say Cedillos-Campos confessed to a Fairfax County Police detective that he lured Puch to a Great Falls Park parking lot to kill her after she revealed their affair to his girlfriend."Puch was described by officials as a "loving mother of a 3-year-old girl," according to the New York Post.

Is your Virtual Private Network spying on your browser activity? According to a bombshell study by private email provider Proton, many VPNs installed in the U.S. are actually tracking users instead of helping them. Even worse, some of these offenders are registered to companies in China. Here’s what you can do to keep yourself safe.VPNs are meant to encrypt your web traffic so that third parties — like your internet service provider, digital marketers, and hackers — can’t see which websites you visit. In order for this to work, though, a user has to trust that the VPN installed on his device does what it claims to do, and the VPN provider then has to deliver on its promise to shield web activity from outside sources.Many Americans are being tracked by the VPN on their devices, and they don’t even know it.Proton says that many VPN providers are failing to fulfill their side of the bargain.In a statement published to its website, Proton says, “After a months-long survey of over 7,000 mobile VPN apps around the world, Proton has found that 85% of those downloaded in the U.S. contain trackers, and around a quarter of those actively track users’ physical location.”Many of the trackers were found to send data back to foreign nations, including China, Russia, Israel, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Even more alarming, some of the tested VPNs were either outright owned by organizations based in China, or they were registered to shell companies intended to provide a facade of security.In other words, many Americans are being tracked by the VPN on their devices, and they don’t even know it.Unfortunately, Proton didn’t list all of the VPNs that are most likely to spy on users. The company also makes its own VPN service, which it’s trying to promote over competitors, regardless of their actual stance on user privacy. That said, if you use a VPN on your phone, tablet, or computer, it’s a good idea to understand how it works and whether or not you can trust it to shield your web activity from prying eyes.RELATED: How to escape the surveillance state: Use a VPN How to find a trustworthy VPNThere are several important factors to look for when shopping for a VPN you can trust.Free vs. paid VPNs: Some VPNs on the App Store and Google Play offer completely free options where users don’t have to pay a cent to get VPN protection. Don’t trust these apps. If you pay nothing, you are the product, and your data is the monetization mechanism. Always choose a paid option instead. Remember that real protection is never free.RAM only: Like a computer, VPNs can have two types of storage options. VPNs with hard disk drives can save data in perpetuity, while VPNs that run on RAM-only servers physically can’t collect long-term data. Instead, the data is wiped from the server every time it’s rebooted, ensuring that your information isn’t retained.Registered country: VPN providers must operate according to the laws and regulations of the country where they are registered. If that country is allowed to collect company data like China, or spy on user activity like Russia, your browsing activity is not safe or protected. On the flip side, Panama, Switzerland, and Spain have some of the best reputations for maintaining user privacy.Open source: Open source software generally means that the source code for an app or service is made public for the sake of transparency and sometimes for modification. When it comes to VPNs, open source options allow third-party security groups to look through the code and verify its ability to properly encrypt and protect user data. This way, you know unequivocally if a service lives up to its promises.Now that you know what to look for, you should have a good idea if the VPN on your device works as advertised. If for any reason you suspect your VPN is collecting, storing, or sharing your data, remove it from your device immediately. You’re better off not having a VPN at all than to trust one that’s actually compromising your safety, security, and privacy.Like Blaze News?
