Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. Marrying a first cousin is presently legal in Britain. Conservative Member of Parliament Richard Holden has, however, introduced legislation that would ban the practice, which has been linked to genetic disorders, higher infant mortality, and mental retardation. "This is not about faith or race," Holden noted earlier this year. "It's about integration, fundamental liberty, and health." The proposed ban has caused a great deal of hand-wringing among liberals and Pakistani activists, who figure it is "prejudiced" against the Pakistani community, where cousin marriage is widespread. The National Health Service's Genomics Education Programme recently caused an uproar by adopting this framing and spinning incest as a possible social benefit. In a Sept. 22 blog guidance that was recently deleted, the Genomics Education Programme noted that "marriage between first cousins, known as consanguineous marriage, has been practiced for centuries across many cultures — often seen as a way of preserving family wealth, strengthening social ties, and maintaining cultural traditions." Congenital anomalies are a leading cause of infant death in the United Kingdom. The researchers found that whereas less than 1% of babies of white British natives were born to first cousins, 38% of babies born of Pakistani residents were inbred. The researchers concluded that incest was associated with a doubling risk for congenital anomaly and that "31% of all anomalies in children of Pakistani origin could be attributed to consanguinity." ...The study noted that over 63% of marriages in Pakistan were between blood relatives as of 2018 and that "the popularity of consanguineous unions is not declining in the country, because of social, cultural, religious, and economic advantages, which outweigh the disadvantages given the population." Pakistan is rife with genetic disorders largely as a consequence of inbreeding — a problem that appears to have been exported to the United Kingdom. The memorial service for Charlie Kirk was the largest apostolic event in human history. President Trump and his team of warriors all shared their love and passion for Jesus Christ. It was historic. At the event in person were between 90,000 to 100,000 according to FOX News. Pinpointing the exact number of people who attended the memorial in person depends on which source you consult. The most frequently cited figure, reported by major outlets like Fox News and used on the event’s Wikipedia page, comes directly from Charlie Kirk’s own organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA). They reported that approximately 90,000 to 100,000 people gathered to pay their respects. This figure breaks down to roughly 70,000 filling the State Farm Stadium to capacity, another 10,000 at an overflow venue in the nearby Desert Diamond Arena, and an additional 10,000 watching from other designated areas nearby. However, earlier in the day there were an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 people who were expected to attend the event in Arizona not far from Turning Point’s Headquarters. Arizona officials estimated the live audience in all venues was in excess of 200 thousand attendees. One site estimated safely that the Charlie Kirk Memorial generated between 25-30 million viewers before we even begin to estimate worldwide viewers on international channels. And that’s the baseline. The real number could be far higher. Turning Point USA claimed a much larger number for viewership; it is one we can’t verify but we also cannot deny. According to Turning Point USA, more than 100 million viewers may have tuned into livestreams of the memorial. DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Billionaire megadonor George Soros has funneled more than $80 million to organizations that praised terrorists or urged protest violence in America, according to a new report by the Capital Research Center. The Capital Research Center report said Soros— through his Open Society Foundation—has distributed tens of millions to groups that engage in or endorse actions that meet the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism. The revelations come as authorities investigate left-wing organizations for a possible connection to the Sept. 10 murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Since 2020, the Open Society Foundation has given $400,000 to the Center for Third World Organizing, which boasts it “threw down with people in the streets” during the George Floyd riots, Capital Research Center noted. Center for Third World Organizing has consolidated radical groups into its hub, including the Ruckus Society, whose founders and training materials endorse tactics that “may be outside of the law,” Capital Research Center says. The network also includes the BlackOUT Collective, which co-authored a pro-Hamas guide that glorifies the Oct. 7 attacks and references a Ruckus Society manual promoting tactics like property destruction and blockades. Soros’ foundations have given $200,000 to Dissenters, another co-author of the alleged pro-Hamas guide. Dissenters is listed as an endorser of the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition, which praises shutting down highways, bridges and targeting Israeli arms producers, according to Capital Research Center, and partners with the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee to promote illegal avoidance of taxes tied to U.S. defense activities. The Sunrise Movement has received at least $2 million from Open Society and promoted the Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition, linked to Antifa-associated anarchist terrorism, according to the report. Dozens of coalition members have faced domestic terrorism and racketeering charges for actions such as arson, property destruction, and assaults on law enforcement. Workers are largely following mandates to embrace AI in the office, but few are seeing it create real value. According to the Harvard Business Review, the culprit is “workslop,” AI-generated documents that look sharp but are filled with low quality information. Harvard Business Review reports that despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable return on investment (ROI). According to a recent report from the MIT Media Lab, 95 percent of organizations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies, even as the number of companies with fully AI-led processes nearly doubled last year and AI use has likewise doubled at work since 2023. One possible reason for this puzzling lack of ROI is that AI tools are being used to produce what some experts are calling “workslop” — content that appears polished on the surface but lacks real substance, insight, or value underneath. While generative AI can quickly churn out documents, presentations, emails, and other content that seem professional and well-written at first glance, upon closer inspection much of this material is generic, shallow, obvious, and lacking in original ideas or meaningful contributions.
