DAVID MARCUS: Kamala Harris finally visits the border. Was George Orwell her travel agent?
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin gives the latest on Vice President Kamala Harris' southern border visit on'Special Report.' It was George Orwell, in his seminal book "1984," which turned out to be about 40 years off, who wrote that eventually the state would make us believe that 2 2 5. Vice President Kamala Harris' incomprehensibly shameless photo op on the southern border might have dialed it up to a 6. There she was, our vice president, in front of the wall, and the barbed wire, ready to get serious about the problem she and "kind of" President Joe Biden created in the first place. I recalled a film in which Cheech and Chong said it was time to get serious about the band. This is like Oedipus saying, "Who did all this?"

On this day in history, August 17, 1945, George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is published
'Woke Inc.' author Vivek Ramaswamy called the relationship between Big Tech and the government threat to liberty because'each can do what the other cannot.' The political fable, "Animal Farm," written by visionary George Orwell, was published on this day in history, Aug. 17, 1945. The plot of "Animal Farm" is based on the story of the Russian Revolution and its betrayal by Joseph Stalin and is deemed an allegory, according to Britannica.com The novella tells the story of a group of barnyard animals that overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters -- and set up an egalitarian society of their own, the same source chronicles. As "Animal Farm" opens, Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is intoxicated and heading to bed.

I just reread George Orwell's '1984' and the novel is scarier than ever
'The Big Weekend Show' panelists discuss Elon Musk offering to pay users' legal bills if they are'unfairly treated' by employers for likes or posts on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. That's what George Orwell would say if he could visit our world, 75 years after he wrote his final novel, "1984." Orwell sought to demonstrate the dangers not just of totalitarianism but of a world where words lose their meaning. Many of the terms he coined for the novel have since entered common discourse -- "thought police," "Big Brother," "doublethink," and the "memory hole," to name a few. And of course the adjective "Orwellian" comes to us because of this book.

10 ways big government uses AI to create the totalitarian society of Orwell's classic '1984'
Strive Asset Management founder Vivek Ramaswamy responds to the federal response to a derailed train in Ohio releasing toxic chemicals and discusses the growing list of potential GOP candidates as he weighs his own presidential bid. George Orwell envisioned the dangers of monolithic government armed with artificial intelligence in his famous novel of a future dystopia, "1984," published in 1949. The Party, led by Big Brother, uses omnipresent technology to monitor constantly and to propagandize to the docile citizens of Oceania. The terrifying tandem of technology and the human intoxicant of power is used in Oceania to rewrite history, control society, crush the human spirit and keep the Party entrenched forever. Protagonist Winston Smith works for the ironically named Ministry of Truth, a job he hates.

The idea that the Inflation Reduction Act reduces inflation is 'something out of George Orwell': Larry Kudlow
KUDLOW: The idea that it's inflation reduction is something out of George Orwell. By the way, the CBO came out with a preliminary scorecard, just preliminary stuff. But actually, the deficit gets worse for the next four years until it gets better after that. But, the getting better is full of gimmicks. So I don't believe a word of it.

Kilmeade: George Orwell's dystopian society becoming a reality with Biden's latest action
BRIAN KILMEADE: In his classic novel "1984," George Orwell warned the world of the dangers of government addicted to power. One where the narrative was controlled by the state and the people were forced to bend a knee. Truth-telling became the cardinal sin of Orwell's dystopian state, where a power hungry state reigned in on shutting down free speech and was all guided by what Orwell termed the Ministry of Truth. A propaganda branch of the state, in his book, whose priority was to control all forms of public information where industries like journalism, entertainment and art were all controlled by Big Brother, and the state told you what the truth was actually in their mind, which was the truth accepted. Now, the people had no say in any of it.

As the Super Bowl nears kickoff, 'Who Can Forget?' relives some of the most iconic game day commercials
The highly-anticipated Super Bowl LVI takes the field in just a few weeks, scheduled to be played on February 13, 2022, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. And while the Big Game is inarguably the biggest television event of the year – with last year's record-low viewership still drawing in an astounding 92 million watchers - it's no wonder ad space can cost as much as $6 million for just 30 seconds of time. If you happen to identify with a large percentage of the population that's perhaps more interested in the myriad of big-budget, high-profile commercials that air between gameplay than the game itself, look no further than 38 years back in time. FOX NATION REVEALS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC, AND FASCINATING STORIES OF THE YEAR Fox Nation's'Who Can Forget 1984?' dedicates one of the show's standard top ten positions to celebrating that year's commercial success, breaking down two of the most-talked-about Super Bowl XVIII commercials: But almost 40 years ago, it wasn't the household name it is today -- until a Super Bowl XVIII ad changed the game. The commercial, a takeoff of George Orwell's dystopian social science fiction novel "1984," was heralded as a masterpiece.

The Vatican is worried about artificial intelligence
At a recent conference on the challenges of artificial intelligence, Christof Koch made clear in his remarks that the stakes were high: "By mid-century, humanity will be surrounded by ubiquitous, flexible, highly intelligent autonomous agents, and this will profoundly affect our future--including whether we have any." Dr. Koch--who is the chief scientist of the Mindscope Program at the Allen Institute for brain science in Seattle--was speaking to a group of roughly a hundred academics, diplomats and journalists. The conference was hosted by the Vatican at the Cancelleria, a 15th-century Renaissance palace in Rome, and centered around the theme of "the challenge of artificial intelligence for human society and the idea of the human person." This was the second event at the Vatican to focus on artificial intelligence, commonly abbreviated as A.I. Just before Italy entered into a nationwide lockdown last year, the Pontifical Academy for Life held a workshop on A.I. in February 2020. This workshop ultimately produced a "Call for AI Ethics," which was signed by Microsoft, IBM, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and the Italian government, in addition to the Academy.
