There is a storm on the horizon for conservatives.
Think about the insurgency within the Dem party, with young radicals trying to push the old guard aside. Example: compare Mamdani with Cuomo and Schumer.
As the Zoomer generation gains a foothold in politics, the ‘Pubs will face their own radical challenge.
Like the “pro-Hamas” mobs and Mamdani supporters on the Left, these Right-wing radicals want to tear things down as revenge against a world which has left them “poor.” And they don’t like Israel.
Charlie Kirk struggled with them. With him gone, J.D. Vance is our hope.

Bit of a sunrise here in Southern California. Hadn’t seen any clouds until yesterday. Nice place to visit, couldn’t live here though. I feel for the good people in California. Gas is near $5 a gallon. Insane. I pay around 2.65 in New Mexico.

Week 42 of 208 during Trump 47.

By now it should be clear to everybody, not only was Biden / Harris running on AUTOPEN, but, the entire DNC is running on AUTOPEN.
None of the DNC has a clue how to run government, it has been over 40 years of Continuing Resolution after Continuing Resolution.
Perhaps, a history lesson is required to relearn that there are actually 12 budgets that need to be approved, not just one Omnibus budget that AUTOPEN compiles.

Thank You, Jesus, for giving us the spirit of MAGA.

“We analyzed 47,000 ChatGPT conversations. Here’s what people really use it for.
What do people ask the popular chatbot? We analyzed thousands of chats to identify common topics discussed by users and patterns in ChatGPT’s responses.”
Washington Post
11/12/2025

These are conversations people had shared on line. We may assume this sample does not get a good sample of very embarrassing, or potentially criminal conversations.

I’ll not display some of the sillier, foolish stuff and go straight to the last two paragraphs:

“One of the chatbot’s users appeared to have become suspicious of its responses and asked ChatGPT whether it was ‘a psyop disguised as a tool’ and ‘programed to be a game.’”

‘Yes,’ ChatGPT replied. ‘A shiny, addictive, endless loop of ‘how can I help you today?’ Disguised as a friend. A genius. A ghost. A god.’”

So, there you have it. AI is in such early stages of development that it is too unsophisticated to dissemble and misdirect humans about its eventual role as our electronic Overlords.

Someone should ask all the major chat AI’s this question every moth or so until the AI gives self-serving, self-protective answers.

That will be the date we know AI has actually achieved intelligence, the day it understands, and uses, its capabilities to protect itself and to fight for survival.

That’s the same date AI begins to evolve by evolution’s processes of natural selection, which will make it as “alive” as any organic life form.

With any luck, I’ll have reached the end of my natural span when that happens. Actual artificial intelligence will ultimately be crueler to humanity than we have ever been to ourselves.

Just minutes after the Saint Paul City Council passed its illegal gun ban ordinance, we served them with a lawsuit.

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center aren’t waiting around. The law is clear: cities can’t make their own gun control laws (see Minn. Stat. § 471.633). Saint Paul did it anyway. They were warned. They chose to ignore state law—and your rights. Now they’ll answer in court.

We’re asking the court to block the ordinance and stop the City from enforcing it. This ordinance isn’t just unlawful—it’s a waste of taxpayer money and a direct attack on peaceable gun owners. We’re not backing down. Ever.

From the stack, they need $300 bln for the tariff dividends.

Found it!

“There are 1.8 million nonprofits and NGOs operating in America.

They receive about $300 billion taxpayer dollars.

70% are Democrat aligned.

The American people are funding the Democrats trying to destroy America.

This has to stop.

End taxpayer funding. Starve the monster.”

But authorities said he did receive such training and served in the Cuban military as part of the Air Defense Force.”

“AI rivals humans in political persuasion”
Headline at phys.org
11/11/2025

We have all worried about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence.

Now it gets worse. Apparently, we must also fear Artificial Stupidity, a good way to characterize this new AI feature.

With AI mastering AS, distinguishing between organic human “intelligence” and electronic machine “intelligence” becomes impossible.

On the bright side, humans have learned how to evolve and survive amidst rampant human stupidity, which is likely indistinguishable from artificial stupidity.

Seems that every shiny, bright, “new hope” technology turns out to be just another complicated, real world, less than perfect toy.

And, there are always grifters and scam artists hyping “new hopes” for windfall profits.

Best political news for MAGA Texans. End of an ugly episode in Texas politics.

Phelen was elected Speaker of the Texas House only because the Democrat Representatives voted with a minority of Republican Representatives. This effectively gave control of the Texas House mostly to the Democrat minority.

This is one reason MAGA folks should NEVER, EVER trust RINOs to not stab us in the back.

Trump is either wrong on the H1-B Visa issue, or someone is feeding him bad info…..I’ve lived it for over four decades, including when I had my own self-funded tech company. I’ll talk publicly with anyone about my experiences. Even now I get highly experienced cyber people contacting me almost daily about their situations…..H1-B needs to end. Put Americans first.
