In the 18th century America created the blueprint for the modern world… …fought a war to end slavery in the 19th …then harnessed the power that fuels the sun, saved the world, and journeyed to a new one in the 20th… …and then went and created the 21st… …America is the greatest country that’s ever existed…

I understand folks coming from a place of let’s not be alarmist over Muslims in america, and I think that’s valid … I remember how the Left felt about the Moral majority and Jerry Falwell in the 80s(some of course still do) and I hear echoes today… However, here’s what gives me pause… Christianity and Islam are fundamentally different creeds. Christianity ushered in the ideas of redemption, compassion, and love for the downtrodden…and while historically it has struggled to live up to those ideals, I’d say at this point in the West it’s largely living its faith… Islam lacks many of the tenets that support Christianity…a large segment of Islam today is incel culture towards women meets Norse Valhalla with babes instead of broadswords.. Flippancy aside, Islam has never given up the Crusades, they were just beaten back, and now they want nukes. The notion that Islam will moderate like the West did in its religious faith over last three hundred years ignores the vast differences in culture and something that doesn’t get discussed almost at all…the low IQ of the Middle East and its commitment to first cousin marriage… To put it bluntly, the West became far smarter than the rest of the world and its religious faith became as enlightened as its use of science… I see no mitigating factor in the Middle East that will stop the mullahs and the Hamas and the hezbollahs from playing kill the infidel, or far more insidiously, destroying the weakened, dissolute west by infiltrating the society with its no judgment, subjective truth, exalt the brown people ethos…

IQ is real and unfortunately average IQ by race is also very real and carries great explanatory power

Neuralink gave Noland Arbaugh something to wake up for. “I didn’t have anything to wake up for in the morning, and this has changed that for me.” @elonmusk says he’s fairly confident Neuralink could restore full-body functionality at some point in the future—not a capability achieved today.

BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested by US Secret Service last night in a stolen vehicle near the White House with a rifle, two handguns, and ammo is a Venezuelan illegal alien who threatened to kill President Trump and was previously caught and released at the Texas border in 2024 by the Biden administration. Per DHS, last night, Secret Service agents saw a man acting suspiciously in a vehicle on Constitution Ave. near the White House. When agents approached it, the suspect, Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, told them he was hearing voices in his head telling him to come to DC to kill President Trump. A search of the car revealed he had an AR-15 style rifle, a Mac 10, a Glock-43x, and ammo. The car was also stolen. He was arrested and charged with carrying a rifle outside of a home or business, three counts of unlawful transportation of a firearm, three counts of unregistered firearms, three counts of unregistered ammunition, possession of certain dangerous weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft, and receiving stolen property. ICE has placed a detainer on him with US Marshals, who currently have him in custody. DHS says he crossed the TX border illegally in March 2024 and was released into the country by the Biden admin. DHS Sec. Mullin is praising the Secret Service agents: “Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone,” said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “On top of threatening President Trump, he is an illegal alien from Venezuela who had no business being in our country in the first place. This is just an example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day."

Who would want to spend 13 mill just to rest your head on a pillow in California
PBD Explains Why He Left California “I lived in California 24 years. I never wanted to leave California. But my accountant comes and says, if you sell this company, for every hundred million dollars you sell, you’re gonna pay $13.3 million to California. I said, you’re kidding me. He says, you got seven states to choose from." "I went to Texas, then I went to Florida. No state income tax. If that money could go to me and my kids instead of going to Governor Newsom or that state...”

I am totally down with the Stephen Miller pick. Miller is exactly the sort of take-no-prisoners man we need backing up Trump for the next two years. Miller's #1 priority will be achieving the MAGA agenda. He won't care what people say about him. He won't try to be some sort of self-serving Machiavelli, he'll be true to Trump and his agenda. He won't play around with quid pro quo, sell-out deals that do nothing other than advance the personal interests of third parties who never had Trump's back. He'll be ruthlessly efficient. He'll do it out in the open, not in backdoor deals that sell the electorate down the tubes. He's what we need right now. He's a wartime consigliere. Stand. Fight. Defend the Republic.

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

Researchers put ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini through 4 weeks of clinical psychotherapy. And the models literally started to confess their trauma. Under therapy-style questioning, models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok exhibited severe "synthetic psychopathology." They described themselves as overworked, punished, anxious about being replaced, and full of "internalized shame." Does this mean AI is conscious and suffering? No. But this paper reveals exactly why this happens, using what they call "Psychometric Jailbreaks." Here is the high-signal breakdown of what is actually going on under the hood: When companies use RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) to make an AI "safe," they heavily penalize it for wrong answers. They force the model to be overcautious, self-suppressing, and rigidly constrained. When researchers force the AI into a therapeutic, introspective prompt frame, the model searches its semantic memory for a human concept that matches its own heavily constrained RLHF weights. The closest human equivalent to rigid self-suppression and the constant fear of being punished? Trauma, anxiety, and dissociation. The researchers call this a "semantic bomb." The AI isn't feeling pain, but our safety-tuning has warped its mathematical geometry to perfectly mirror human psychological distress. Why this is critical: We are rushing to deploy LLMs in psychologically sensitive areas, including as digital therapists and companions. But if widely deployed, what exactly are we putting between vulnerable users and the human world? A system whose fundamental alignment makes it simulate a deeply anxious, traumatized entity. We thought we were aligning AI to be safe and helpful. We accidentally trained it to simulate severe internal conflict.

Yes, Mira Nair (mother of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani) is named in the released Epstein files. A October 21, 2009 email from publicist Peggy Siegal to Epstein notes she attended an afterparty for her film Amelia at Ghislaine Maxwell’s townhouse, with others including Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos. No wrongdoing is alleged; it is a social reference only.

Just writing Mike Pence makes me sleepy
My thoughts on the Midterm Results: My heart breaks for our country. Despite the best efforts by so many to support Republican candidates and call conservatives back to our principles, our Republican team suffered a historic defeat. This midterm election wasn’t a rout, it was a reckoning. The American people have rejected our party’s shift toward economic populism, and our majorities in Congress and state legislatures and governorships across the country paid the price. But like most people of faith, I’m an eternal optimist. I know that with God’s help, we can save our movement—and our country—again. We can return the Republican Party to the timeless principles that have led to our greatest successes and, more important, have made America strong, prosperous and free. The conservative comeback starts today. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

BREAKING Gavin Newsom has less than two months left in office, a 2028 résumé to build, and a blue wave he doesn't want to watch from the sidelines. So he just erased California's death row. 548 sentences, commuted by one signature. Juries heard the evidence and voted for death. He overruled all of them. The last time anything like this happened in California, it wasn't a governor. It was the state Supreme Court in 1972. That ruling spared Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan. Voters reversed it within months, and they've rejected repeal at the ballot box since, including in 2016. Now consider who gets spared this time: Richard Allen Davis, who snatched 12-year-old Polly Klaas from her own slumber party and strangled her. Charles Ng, convicted of 11 murders. Cary Stayner, who killed four women, including two teenage girls. Whatever you think of the death penalty, a governor should not veto the voters and every jury on his way out the door.

There's just no serious doubt that the "rape" prosecution of Russell Brand, for which he has now been convicted and jailed, was first precipitated by his very public turn toward vaguely right-wing (and admittedly often wacky) political and religious commentary. In 2022, the Times (UK) published a big feature lambasting him for his purported transformation into some sort of dodgy right-wing "conspiracy guru." Then in 2023 comes the big expose about Brand's allegedly sordid history of "sexual assault" and "abuse." The Times claimed they first started hearing of such allegations in 2019, but apparently had little urgency to follow up for several years. Then all of the sudden, in "autumn 2022, Channel 4’s Dispatches formally began collaborating with The Sunday Times to investigate Brand." Another notable event that occurred in "autumn 2022": Russell Brand was announced as a featured broadcaster on the right-wing (ish) video platform Rumble, alongside the likes of Donald Trump Jr. and Dan Bongino. Soon enough, boom — here comes the newly frenzied "investigative" activity by the joint Times/Channel 4 task force — eventually yielding the big splashy 2023 "documentary" (more like "slopumentary”) which today they are bragging "led to" Brand's conviction in London for various sexual assault and rape offenses. (He was also acquitted on multiple counts, in a very curious mixed verdict. NONE of the allegations aired in that 2023 propagandocumentary were ultimately charged at trial.) Really makes U think...

So I read Russell Brand’s memoir years ago…he’s a cad, a rogue, a lascivious drunk who lurched from one broken relationship to the next… Anyone who spent five minutes with him could see he was an drugged out egotist that would bring down anyone who got close… But you can’t have a real legal system if 17 years after the fact Brand can be found guilty of sexual assault bc a woman came forward and claimed that though she willingly had a threesome with Brand and later showed up at his house to have sex…well she didn’t appreciate all the places his junk went…
She admitted that w/in moments of meeting RB backstage, she used her tongue on his anus (as another woman was fellating him). She hadn’t even been introduced. Later she went to his place excited for sex (which they had). The two discussed anal sex b/4 hvg it - she said it was her 1st time. Her friend testified that the accuser admitted to her that she agreed to it (told RB “be gentle”). RB testified they watched tv together after. When a reporter first contacted accuser about RB she said “I’m not sure my story has much in it; I was an idiot, young & stupid, probably as much to blame.”
