AI development is at the point where researchers are not sure when its intelligence will surpass humanity’s and concede perhaps it already has. Earlier this week, an open letter containing names like Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) and others gained over 1,000 (latest count 2,137) signatures calling for at least a six-month pause in training the AI systems to be more powerful than Chat GPT-4. Others are saying the pause needs to be 30 years. Good luck with that.

Baseball is still the game you are more likely to find fathers and sons playing together. I know that when you’re in the backyard and the cool breeze is blowing and you’re playing catch, and you smell the leather, and you hear a baseball smack the back of the glove, and you see the smile on your child’s face, that’s about as perfect a feeling as there is.

Ohio is now a national leader in regulatory reform when the legislature passed Senate Bill 9 in 2022. This law established a goal of 30-percent reduction in regulations by 2025 with the goal of making Ohio’s businesses more competitive and spurring growth in the Buckeye state.

The future of the world is at stake. Up till now, those wishing for action commensurate with the threat could only watch this disaster unfold. But Americans now have a choice. If they support global victory for the Eurasian Axis, they should vote for Trump. If they don’t particularly care which side wins, DeSantis is their man. But if they want the West and all it stands for to prevail, they now have a candidate.

I will continue to work for U.S. producers and others as Farm Bill reauthorization discussions take shape. I encourage those interested in these issues to contact me with your views as Congress begins the process of writing the next Farm Bill.

The deadline for filing your 2022 taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is less than a month away, and it is critical you file your tax returns on or before Tax Day to avoid late penalties. As this crucial deadline on April 18 approaches, I wanted to share some suggestions and resources to ensure you are well prepared for a smooth and timely filing process.

As I often travel between home and Washington, D.C., I’m constantly reminded how blessed we are to live in The Natural State. With its beautiful rivers, majestic mountains and incredible wildlife, Arkansas has long celebrated and utilized these resources in a variety of ways. The abundance of natural treasures is one of the many reasons people are drawn to the state for recreation opportunities.

The realities of the physics, engineering, and economics of energy systems are independent of any beliefs about climate change.

Our lack of acceptance of many issues on the table today is simply because no one has made the effort to explain them in a way we can understand. As long as they can be lazy and just implement such issues by government fiat, they will not attempt to explain them. Such an attitude is an insult to democracy and to our citizens.

The Pentagon is increasingly struggling to fill the weapons and equipment requests for the war in Ukraine. At the same time, taxpayer funds are going to pay for ongoing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in the military, most recently one controversial Pentagon official pushing anti-police and pro-critical race theory books at schools for the children of military families.

I have long said that when someone tells you who they are, you should believe them. In this respect, the meeting with López Obrador was all too revealing. He made it very clear he is not interested in a true partnership with our nation. He could not have cared less about how Mexican drug cartels have killed more Americans than we lost in the Vietnam War.

We have countless protections for our children in the physical world — we require car seats and seat belts; we have fences around pools; we have a minimum drinking age of 21; and we have a minimum driving age of 16. The damage to Generation Z from social media is undeniable — so why are there no protections in the digital world?

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-21) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation Thursday to eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci’s former position as the director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The NIH Reform Act would split NIAID into three separate national research institutes each led by Senate confirmed directors limited to no more than two 5-year terms.

In 2020, when he was still a candidate, President Biden dismissed the Sanders and Warren plans as mean-spirited and divisive. “Tax policy,” he said, “is not about punishment.” But three years is a long time in politics, and in 2023, punishment may now seem to be what pays.

Of course, I love the color green. It does rhyme with Christine, after all, but honestly, there is another so very important reason why I hold this color near and hold near and dear to my heart.
