ver wonder whether computers will one day be capable of doing everything that human beings can? If so, pick up the recent book by engineer and computer scientist Dr. Robert J. Marks: “Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence Never Will.” Marks explains what makes human beings unique, and therefore why no computer will ever match all human capabilities. To be sure, computers excel humans at many tasks — but only tasks that are “algorithmic,” or that entail step-by-step instructions to complete, such as calculating probabilities, retrieving information, or executing functions. That is why advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems...

People are absolutely fed up and disgusted with left wing insanity and disaster America Last policies. National divorce is not civil war, but Biden and the Neocons are leading us into WW3, while forcing corporate ESG and gender confusion on our kids. Enough!

Here is a very interesting video of the founding of our country, and our first President, George Washington, from the perspective of a Japanese historian. Happy Washington's Birthday!

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who is rumored to be contemplating a 2024 presidential run, spent his Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” pretending he is more of a “small government” Republican than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who recently took action to protect children from radical gender ideology in government schools. “I’m a small-government, you know, common-sense conservative, and to me, [DeSantis’ governance] sounds like big government and authoritarian: ‘You have to agree with me, and I’m going to tell you what you can and can’t do,’” Hogan told host Chuck Todd. Hogan wants voters to think he believes in...

The Biden Regime never fails to orchestrate an avenue to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and betray the American people. A bombshell report from the Epoch Times Saturday reveals the Regime is about to surrender America’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) and give them full control over future pandemic policy. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on these negotiations between the Regime and the WHO over the past year. TGP’s Alicia Powe, for example, exclusively revealed that Biden’s Health and Human Service Department secretly submitted proposed amendments, “Strengthen WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies,” to the WHO...

An armed man driving a golf cart abducted a woman at gunpoint outside a Philadelphia Applebee’s after firing his weapon, police said. The brazen kidnapping took place around 6:40 a.m. Saturday in the Port Richmond neighborhood, the Philadelphia Police Department said. The woman was walking along Cumberland Street toward Aramingo Avenue when a man driving a maroon and black Polaris Northstar XP 1000 golf cart followed her, police said. When the suspect reached the 2500 block of Aramingo Avenue, police said, he opened the driver’s door, pulled out a gun and fired a shot, which struck the ground in the...

This week much of the Christian world observes Ash Wednesday, the start of the 40-day Lenten season that presages Easter’s 50 days of feasting and celebration. Just three years after Western governments enacted unprecedented persecution by forbidding Christians from worship during our highest Holy Week, this year Lent is especially precious to its observers. The wise see the gathering storms and make ready to weather them. The culture war is a spiritual war, and that means it must be fought with spiritual means: receiving Christ’s true Body and Blood, fasting, prayer, public repentance, and increased Biblical instruction. This is what...

More than two years after the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was foiled, criminal cases against alleged perpetrators are still working their way through the court system. The Antrim County County Circuit Court has approved two motions from the state in the trial of five alleged co-conspirators charged with providing material support in the plot to kidnap Whitmer. Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer approved the motions on Wednesday, which asked that the cases be joined for trial and that the court allow the admission of co-conspirator statements. The federal government foiled the plot in October 2020, calling it the...

For questioning Covid restrictions, Georgetown Law suspended me from campus, forced me to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, required me to waive my right to medical confidentiality, and threatened to report me to state bar associations. The Dean of Students claimed that I posed a “risk to the public health” of the University, but I quickly learned that my crime had been heretical, not medical.

Hundreds of teens broke into a Texas family’s home and threw a wild “mansion rager,” causing thousands of dollars in damages, while the unsuspecting family was out earlier this month. Local high schoolers promoted the Feb. 11 party on social media without consent of the family — who do not have any high school-age children — and then showed up in droves to the Austin property, according to Austin’s Fox 7 News. “We started receiving numerous phone calls from our neighbors that there were kids on our water tower on our property, there were cars up and down the street,...

I am watching the Charlie Kirk show. This is what he Just Announced! Real America's Voice

The UN Security Council on Monday published a statement expressing its "dismay" over Jewish settlement activity in Judea and Samaria during a briefing on the situation in the Middle East. The statement, which received the support of all 15 members of the Security Council, including the US, reads: “The Security Council reiterates that continuing Israeli settlement activities are dangerously imperiling the viability of the two-state solution.” The statement is non-binding, unlike a resolution which was proposed last week, which would have demanded that Israel "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory." That resolution was shelved...

The Democrats in America have a problem: Kamala Harris. And Charles Lipson, the Peter B. Ritzma professor of political science emeritus at the University of Chicago, wonders if they can get it solved. In a Real Clear Wire commentary, he wrote Joe Biden's pick to be his vice president is, in fact, "a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified." Typically, a vice president of a sitting president is primed for a run for the Oval Office itself. However, he explained, "Harris is deeply unpopular with...

Liberal megadonor George Soros spoke in support of using an experimental weather control technology to alleviate global warming during a speech last week in Germany. Soros, who has given millions of dollars to climate change groups through his nonprofit Open Society Foundations, touted a theoretical project to "repair the climate system" by creating white clouds that reflect sunlight away from certain warming areas with the goal of preventing ice sheets in Greenland from melting, Fox News reported. "Our civilization is in danger of collapsing because of the inexorable advance of climate change," Soros said during the speech in Munich. "The...

In an unprecedented breach, the Air Force improperly released to a research firm tied to Democrats' congressional campaign arm the confidential personnel files of eleven members of the military, including one involving a retired lieutenant colonel running for office as a Republican that detailed how she had been sexually assaulted in the Air Force, Congress has been told. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers and House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer are demanding that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin explain how he will prevent future breaches of military members' private information while pressing to know if there will...

With a visit by Joe Biden coming up next week, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki discusses the status of the ongoing Ukraine conflict with Russia and the expectation of this being a long NATO supported fight. Poland is in a weird place with their internal politics. Domestically, their population is not in alignment with the leftist, globalist approach. However, for the past two years -especially since the Russia/Ukraine conflict began – they appear to be walking a tightrope with U.S. policy, leaning favorably to the Biden administration. It appears Poland is like many EU countries in the leadership disconnect from...

This video interview segment was sent to me today along with a “wow, you were right” message. Apparently, the interview took place a few weeks ago (it’s new to me), but the admissions within it are quite remarkable. The CNBC discussion surrounds inflation and the federal reserve raising interest rates. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari is talking about the jobs report, inflation and the intention of the federal reserve to continue raising interest rates until they achieve 2% inflation, regardless of consequence. Kashkari doesn’t hedge on the latter issue of consequence; he affirms with absolute guarantee the fed will keep...

The American presidency is one of the strangest jobs in the world. Politicians aspire to it. The media focuses obsessively on the person who holds it and those who want to win it. Millions of books and articles have been written about it. And yet, most of the people who’ve held the job really weren’t that good. There are a few truly great presidents, some pretty good ones and a handful of complete disasters. But most can be summed up, as the Simpsons famously once did, as the “adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable, caretaker presidents of the U.S.A.” In fairness, the...

A Chinese professor was suspended by his university after a talk he prompted an outburst from a student, a report said. The student at Lujiang Middle School in Anhui province in China accused the professor of worshiping the West, Bloomberg reported. A video clip shared on social media showed the student walking onto the stage during the lecture and snatching the microphone from the professor. The student can be heard shouting, “He only has money in his eyes, thinks learning is just for money, worships the West and panders to overseas powers.” “For what purpose do we study hard? It’s...
