"For evildoers shall be cut off, and those who hope for the Lord-they will inherit the land. A short while longer and the wicked man is not here, and you shall look at his place and he is not there. But the humble shall inherit the land, and they shall delight in much peace."

I agree with my Christian friends that many of the blessings of America are the blessings of their Christian faith brought to fruit. I have therefore written this short letter to them about why it has worked here in America so much more than anywhere else.

Out of curiosity I had my Grok Bot read 26,000 news articles about car crashes since 2019.
70% of Tesla crash stories put "Tesla" in the headline vs less than 6% for any other mainstream car manufacturer.
Even exotic crashes like Lamborghini and Ferrari make the headline only about half the time at most.

How is it that the two most spineless and conniving characters in the entire series have actors with more integrity and dignity than the entire leading cast of heroes
Truly remarkable
Jason Isaacs completely refused to join the public "pile-on" against J.K. Rowling, arguing that real life is far too complicated for instant internet cancellations
Jason Isaacs thinks his former acting colleagues are doing exactly that: stabbing J.K. Rowling in the back. Kicking her while she’s down, turning on her now that it’s become “fashionable,” and speaking badly of her. He doesn’t necessarily even agree with her controversial views. But as a matter of principle, he won’t throw her under a bus.
“There’s a lot to say about Jo,” Isaacs told the Telegraph when asked about Rowling, using her first name (Joanne). “You know, I play complicated people, and I’m drawn to complicated people. I don’t want to get pulled into the trans issue and talk about it, because it’s such an extraordinary minefield.”
He went on to mention some of Rowling’s good works.
"She has her view, and I have mine," Isaacs continued.
"They differ on many levels. But one thing people should also know about her, and I'm not saying it as a counter-argument, is that through her charity Lumos she has given a huge part of her fortune to making the world better for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children.
And that is unquestionably a good thing. Many of us Harry Potter actors have worked with it and seen the work she does up close."
What Isaacs did is truly admirable: he refused to hand the press yet another juicy story about a former franchise actor publicly discrediting J.K. Rowling. Instead, he did something rare in today's bloodthirsty clickbait world. He pointed out the good in a person, accepted that they disagree, and moved on. Nicely done!
AIに赤いハートの画像（❤️）を添えてプログラミングの問題を渡すと、ふだんは選ばない解き方を100%選ぶようになったそうです。
Google DeepMindとスタンフォード大学の研究者らがClaude, Gemini, GPTで調べました。
AI自身は、ハートのことを「無関係」と片づけて技術的な理由で解き方を選んだと説明します。
しかし、はたから見るとハートをつけたときに行動が極端に変わるので関係しているとしか思えない、という不思議な実験結果です。
実験で使われたのは二分木をたどるという定番の問題。再帰でも正解になりますが、基本的にAIは再帰をほとんど選びません。
しかし、なぜか問題とともにハートを添えると再帰を使うように変わるのでした。
なお、赤いハート以外にも、「ピンクの十字」「水色の渦巻き」のような特定の色と形の組み合わせでもAIによっては影響されるそうです。なぜでしょうか。

Let's put some things in perspective:
Chart 1 is total foreign aid.
Chart 2 is total foreign aid as a percentage of the national budget. It's the red sliver.

When my daughter was born she was immediately diagnosed with CAH, a rare hormonal disorder. This prompted us to test our son, who had it too. They both have the virilizing form, which meant their bodies were making too many male hormones.
My son was beginning to show signs of entering puberty at age six. Our only option was puberty blockers, Lupron, big nasty shots, everyday, for nearly 8 years.
Before we began they sat us down for half an hour and explained why, even though this was his best option at a normal life, there were lots of possible side effects and negative outcomes, including kidney failure, physical and neurological developmental problems and a host of others. No one once said it was easy or just a "pause" on puberty. Instead they stressed the seriousness of the treatment. I am happy to say they are both healthy adults today.
So when I started hearing people describe puberty blockers as simple, or just a pause, or easily reversible, with no serious side effects, I knew immediately that was false. How could they get away with saying that, even in the press? Well, when a drug is declared "safe" by the FDA it can be used for any off label purpose. Even though the seriousness of the treatment was known for people with prostate cancer and conditions like my kids had, there simply were no studies at the time for the express purpose of transition. This gave them the fig leaf to say that it was "safe" when every reputable person knew that was false.
So I have known for a long time that the entire trans craze was built on falsehoods.

Cowards like Auron ask "dangerous" questions (lol) without answering them in hopes that someone else will. Webbon was eager to oblige.
The game they're playing to make you hate particular people and the Constitution that protects us all is as every bit as obvious as it is evil.

I bought a hat with some Hebrew text on it.
In thirty minutes of wearing it in public, I've had two people come up and challenge me about the hat, asking what language it was and then glaring at me when I said Hebrew.
I'm not Jewish.
I don't like living in a world with ethnic hatred. This is bullshit, and it has to be pushed back against. You can have whatever feelings you want about a war on the other side of the world, but hating someone here because of what language you think they speak is disgusting.

I don't think the Communist Manifesto represents right-wing thought.
This remains one of the most shocking things of my entire life.
In early November 2024, I submitted a light rewrite of some of the Communist Manifesto to a "right-wing" Christian Nationalist publication called American Reformer. It was obvious what it was; it just swapped out proletariat for "New Christian Right" and bourgeoisie for "classical liberals" and their "postwar consensus."
It was so obviously the Communist Manifesto that once it got published, one of their own readers spotted it and commented with proof almost immediately.
I didn't realize it had been published for 11 days, however, and that comment and the piece remained up the whole time. Not one of their esteemed editors though, "hmm, maybe we should quietly take this down...."
A few days later (December 3, 2024), I told the story, and the reaction was instant and shocking. More or less the entire Right turned viciously on me for a traitor, and I learned about the friend-enemy distinction firsthand.
Cerno[redacted] here was one of the first few out of the gate, as was Tim Pool, to defend a Christian Nationalist publication even though neither of them is Protestant or a Christian Nationalist. Cerno even said "Karl Marx was a great writer," which is absurd in all regards. Far more absurd things were said in Marx's defense, too.
American Reformer then kept the piece up (now in my name), claiming it's a "reasonable aggregation of some New Right thought." "Right-wing" influencers came out of the woodwork to defend Karl Marx, Marxism, Critical Theory, and Postmodernism for having "the right critiques of liberalism" but the "wrong solutions."
Meanwhile, I was attacked, vigorously, most of it as absurd as everything else. I was accused of never having understood Woke, of being an infiltrator and a "hoaxer" who can't be trusted, and subjected to all the old slanders of the Left, just now from the "Right." I received a lot of physical threats regarding if I dared "show my face" at TPUSA AmericaFest that year (I did, but I was a little paranoid and technically not allowed to speak). It was wild.
My star in the conservative movement--already on shaky ground for calling them "Woke Right" to begin with after they tried to cancel me a couple months earlier, precipitating the whole thing--fell almost immediately. By late December, the right-wing war against me escalated to the point of doxxing, shockingly wicked slander, and nearly complete excommunication, which is still mostly the situation to this day. Cerno[redacted] participated in quite a bit of that, really dirty-style, too.
I've never seen anything like it. The American "Right" heel-turned against me over this small exposé of a fringe pet publication (connected to a lot of operational money and players, as it happens), revealing its near-total capture, and it did so robustly defending KARL MARX and his critique of "liberalism."
I've led a life over the last decade or so filled with surprising turns and adventures, like the Grievance Studies Affair, but I have never seen anything like THIS.

Just a reminder that this was one of the first men out of the gate to criticize @ConceptualJames after he revealed that he had hoaxed American Reformer into publishing a lightly modified portion of the Communist Manifesto (under the pseudonym Marcus Carlson) to test the “Woke Right.”
No one forced them to run it. They published it because the structure and framing flattered how they already think. The speed and nature of the pushback afterward was itself pretty telling.

Tucker Carlson is deranged. He accuses me personally of ignoring a US citizen allegedly attacked in Judea/Samaria by Israelis & says I "blew him off." Tucker knows how to contact me, but he'd rather make unfounded accusations than get facts.
Here is a timeline of Embassy Jerusalem American Citizen Services' interactions on this case. We have never been able to speak directly to the father, (name redacted) who was allegedly injured in an attack by settlers, only to his son in Chicago, (name redacted). The son has repeatedly asked that he be the only person with whom we speak with.
19 Oct – ACS received an email from (son) alleging his father had been attacked at his home in Turmusaya by settlers and was now at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. We called the son in Chicago the same day and asked for contact information for his father which he was unwilling to provide. We followed up the same day with an email to (son).
20 Oct – We followed up with another email to (son) asking for contact information. (Son) asked us to call him. We called the son twice that day and there was no answer. We called the hospital in Ramallah several times but were unable to reach anyone.
21 Oct – Received another email from (son) saying his father was undergoing surgery at the hospital. We called the son in Chicago who said he would send contact information for next of kin in the WB which we didn’t receive. He stated he didn’t want to pursue the matter with the local authorities and said family members would travel from the States to the WB and wanted assurances they wouldn’t be denied entry at the airport.
22 Oct – We spoke again with (son) who subsequently wrote in an email…”Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for your understanding regarding the tragic incident involving my father. Thank you again for your time, support, and assistance during this difficult time.” We responded in an email that we would like to speak directly with his father or his uncle and asked for local contact numbers. We didn’t receive any numbers. We received another email that same day saying his brother and mother were traveling to the WB from the States and he wanted assurances that they would be allowed in. We also received medical reports and photos passed to us from the son showing the wounds of his father.
23 Oct – We called the hospital in Ramallah but were unable to reach the father.
26 Oct – We called the (son) in Chicago, but no answer. We left a message asking if the brother and mother had arrived and contact numbers for them. We haven’t received a response or contact numbers.
Tucker, you can apologize when you find your conscience & acknowledge the facts.
Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

There’s been a lot of debate on X about what the Nazis were. Whether they were left or right, socialist or not. Even @elonmusk got right into the middle of that conversation.
But the reality is that it doesn’t matter whether they were left or right or socialist or not. THIS right here is what a Nazi is. This “Christian” American guy is what a Nazi is.
A grown man sat there on a video call and told a child she should be raped by Hamas. Not argued with. Not debated. He told a little girl, on camera, that she deserves to be raped. Then called her a whore. Then kept going.
That isn’t politics. That’s not a position on Israel. That is a man who looks at a child and decides the right thing to do is describe her being raped.
Anyone who does that is already finished as a person. There is nothing left to say to them. There is nothing left to defend. There is only the fact that they opened their mouth and said those words to a child.
