VIDEOBecause AI, especially including ChatPGT, has been developed primarily by liberals, it is no surprise that AI is just a liberal jerk. Unfortunately, unlike most liberal jerks, AI is highly dangerous due to the powers given to it. I'll be honest and confess that until today I did not take the AI threat seriously UNTIL I listened to the first hour of the co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, Brian Craig, PROVE just how dangerous AI has become by asking the ChatGPT AI certain questions. That shook me up to the extent that I too, for the first time,...

Jack Smith, the Special Council appointed to investigate former President Trump, is said to be preparing to charge Trump with fraud for "using false allegations of vote fraud to dupe supporters into donating $200 million to his campaign fund during the period between the November 3, 2020 election and January 20, 2021, Trump's last day in office." "Wire fraud laws make it illegal to make false representations over email to swindle people out of money," Smith said. "What could be more false than Trump's assertion that Joe Biden's 81 million votes to his 74 million votes was not proof that...

The title of Peter Scazzero’s Chapter 2 of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality[1] is: “Know Yourself That You May Know God: Becoming Your Authentic Self.” Scazzero’s title is enticing with its promises and draws individuals into his system of trying to discover oneself through psychological means rather than from the Word of God. However, we can only know ourselves accurately through what God has revealed in His Word! Moreover, we don’t get to know God by knowing ourselves outside of Scripture! We only know Him through His own words of self-revelation. We are in grave error when we focus on ourselves and...

I had oil and gas at long term Record Lows – And NO INFLATION!” he added.This week, AAA’s national average on the price of gas was $3.76 per gallon.

House Republicans are expected to grill Office of Refugee Resettlement director at hearing Tuesday on HHS failure to vet, monitor and track unaccompanied migrant children, whose arrival at the border has grown more than 10-fold under Biden. Four years after Democrats made political hay out of migrant children being separated from their parents at the border, Republicans have turned the tables on the issue amid evidence the Biden administration has lost track of as many as 85,000 minors it allowed to enter the country unaccompanied by parents, leaving many prey to cartel extortion, forced labor, abuse and trafficking. The extraordinary...

President Donald Trump presented a sparkling policy pitch on Tuesday that delivered a bullet point action plan for cleaning up American streets and getting the homeless population the help that they need.“Our once-great cities have become unlivable, unsanitary nightmares, surrendered to the homeless, the drug addicted, and the violent and dangerously deranged,” Trump said in a video. “We are making many suffer for the whims of a deeply unwell few. And they are unwell indeed. The homeless have no right to turn every park and sidewalk into a place for them to squat and do drugs.”Agenda47: Ending the Nightmare of...

When you talk about election meddling, you can’t forget what Dems did in 2020 by shamelessly burying the Hunter Biden laptop story via censorship and lies. It was one of the biggest “all hands on deck” flagrant abuses of power many of us have witnessed in a US election. Sadly, 2020 had a lot of shocking and disheartening moments like that. However, the cherry on top of the left’s censorship sundae was when 51 former “top intel” officers signed a letter claiming Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” without even investigating the device. But when Hunter’s laptop was confirmed “real,” those...

The first and only president of Nazi Germany’s puppet Slovak state, Jozef Tiso, was hanged on this date in 1947 as a traitor. A Catholic priest in the twilight years of Austria-Hungary, Tiso got in the ground floor on the growth industry of nationalism when that polity fell apart after World War I. Declaring himself a Slovak, he became during the 1920s — the first years of Czechoslovakia — an increasingly prominent exponent of the right-wing Slovak People’s Party, which he represented in the Czechoslovakian parliament from 1925. By the time party founder Andrej Hlinka passed away in August 1938,...
