Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The US’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) self-feeding frenzy is still…frenzy-ing.
Except everything about it seems fake.
The US’s Large Language Model (LLM) version of AI seems to be (at least) years away from the promises being made to feed the frenzy.
Which can be seen as a partially good thing – since no one has any idea what to do with the hundreds of millions of humans they tell us US AI will un-employ.
On April 17th 1895, the Qing dynasty of China signed the treaty of Shimonoseki with the Empire of Japan. In doing so the Qing dynasty was forced to recognize the independence of Korea. They also gave control of Taiwan, the Pescadores islands, and the Liaodong peninsula to Japan. Following this, the Qing dynasty fell into …
It’s not easy watching the country I grew up in and served as a Soldier doing its level best to self-destruct.
What could be a lower form of human being than a Jewish guard while a prisoner – a KAPO – in a WW 2 NAZI concentration camp? For the privilege of living a little longer and eating a little more, you more than betray your People, your faith, your country and civilization. You actually help exterminate your own. And you brutalize your own helpless seniors, innocent children, and women while doing it.
Sixty thousand Moroccan Muslim men of military age have invaded Spain by storming the border fence that separates Ceuta, a Spanish outpost in North Africa, from Morocco. Among the horde were over 1600 newly released prison inmates.
The information warfare machine continues to spew out its drivel. Objective: Pit you against me, in whatever form that manifests. Man against God, man against women, man against countrymen, it matters not, so long as discord and chaos reign. If you read Don’s take on the news this week, you can skip the psyops and develop a jaundiced eye toward the psyop minions: the media.
In 1935, Smedley Butler warned that “War is a racket.” Twenty-six years later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned Americans about the growing power of the military-industrial complex. Nearly a century later, their warnings deserve another look. As America replenishes stockpiles from Ukraine and Iran while asking Ford and other manufacturers to help produce more weapons, one uncomfortable question remains: when every missile launched becomes another billion-dollar contract, who is really winning? Soldiers still pay in blood. Taxpayers still pay the bill. But someone always profits.
Xi Jinping is orchestrating a deliberate, decade-long, multi-domain campaign of ideological and political reconsolidation that draws conscious inspiration from Mao Zedong’s methods while adapting them to a modern surveillance state. The comparison is imperfect but illuminating, and the trend lines are unmistakably moving in one direction — tighter, deeper, and more permanent — while obfuscating its harsh effects on the victims from scrutiny.
I may be the only person left in the world to call the land Red China, but that does not make me wrong. Chairman Xi runs the joint and he is the president of the Chinese Communist Party—the largest political party in the world.
If I were grading Zoran Mamdani’s first six and a half months in office, I would give him a D-minus. I cannot honestly say he has failed outright, but he appears to be heading toward disaster with little standing in his way.
Don Surber takes us through the most impactful news items of the week in a manner only he can. You’ll see the media for what it is and uncover the truth behind the packaging. Enjoy!
President Trump announced the USA will allow Saudi Arabia provided the Crown Prince signs the Abraham Accords and officially recognizes Israel’s right to exist. The Saudis already do. The two countries have made under-the-table deals in the past. Nothing personal, just business.
The debate over money in politics is defined by a core tension between the ideals of transparency, privacy, and mandated disclosure. Proponents of robust transparency and disclosure requirements (especially America Firsters) argue that voters have a fundamental right to know who is funding candidates, parties, and issue advocacy, as undisclosed “dark money” from wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or foreign-linked entities can distort democratic outcomes, enable corruption or undue influence, and facilitate implementation of leftwing policies funded by US taxpayers without authorization or scrutiny. They push for lower reporting thresholds, real-time disclosures, and the closing of loopholes like super PACs and 501(c) organizations to let sunlight act as a disinfectant.
My condolences to Andy Burnham upon his selection as the 59th prime minister of the United Kingdom. The political insiders picked the right guy because he has experience in handling tragedies.
Days after Burnham was sworn in as mayor of Manchester in 2017, a Muslim suicide bomber ignited a nail bomb that killed him and 21 others and injured more than 1,000 fans at an Ariana Grande concert. Most of the victims were young girls. Muslim terrorists have real problems with females.
Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., details the House of Representative’s busy legislative week, aiming to pass critical bills including the SAVE America Act, on ‘The Bottom Line.’
Friends of Taiwan continue to be alarmed by the antics of the Kuomintang (KMT) leadership. The latest flare was the visit to China by KMT leader Cheng Li-wun, as reported by AP News.
Perhaps the KMT in their continuing drift toward accommodation with the CCP are ignoring the history of (and fate) of other accommodationist political parties like Russia’s Mensheviks did a hundred years ago.
Here’s what we know:
The world gets about 20% of its oil via the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait has been closed or nearly closed since the United States launched its war with Iran.
That launch date was February 28th. Today is July 13th. We’re approaching five months of little to no oil getting through the Strait.
That’s so far resulted in 1+ billion fewer barrels in global circulation.
Here’s what we don’t seem to know
Even before six SCOTUS justices caved to the mob, giving America a ruling which will expand “Birth Tourism,” the US Dept. of State started dismantling multiple “Birth Tourism” networks operating across Europe & Africa. These operations helped foreign nationals fraudulently obtain visitor visas to give birth on US soil.
Dangerous levels of smoke are engulfing major cities in North America as Canadian wildfires send plumes across the Midwest and Northeast. Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Bernie Moreno are responding to the weather catastrophe, but not with the same approach. Kailey Leinz reports
Ret. U.S. Navy commander John ‘Fozzie’ Miller discusses U.S. Central Command’s seventh consecutive night of strikes targeting Iran’s military infrastructure and supply routes on ‘Kudlow.’
