Memes and hashtags multiply with “OK Boomer” (or #OKBoomer), a sarcastic slap from Gen Z to mock their elders who created this mess — whether that’s climate change, wars, political division, economic hardship, lack of health care, and more. Bill Whittle thinks it’s funny…at first. #EpicRant warning. #OKSnowflake
Bosstown Dynamics video of an autonomous robotic soldier drone makes a future of remote robot war seem real. Are we already OK with bringing our troops home and sending in the bipedal land drones?

Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green meet in the ring in a bare-knuckle, no holds barred, donnybrook for the title and a slice of history.
The raid that ended in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi came thanks to masterful coordination among U.S. troops, our intel resources, and our Kurdish allies.
