At first (this morning), I thought it might just be me, but I was getting strange responses from ChatGPT that were completely unrelated to my prompts. Has anyone else had this experience? A moment ago, I asked ChatGPT to provide me with a video transcript summary of the Kash Patel interview on the Shawn Ryan podcast and I got a weather forecast for my area. I tried several times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.ChatGPT's response to all my questions about this request/prompt were inane.

Photographs from a dinner at Trump's home showed the incoming President smiling and chatting with a member of the Castro family, in what appears to be a warming of relations."It's a surprise move," said foreign affairs correspondent Ashley Maguire. "While no longer technically holding the Presidency of Cuba, the Castros remain the de facto political power center of the country. Trump appears to be making a calculated move to befriend the younger generation of Castros, perhaps hoping to leverage those...

Politics were not discussed during my recent Thanksgiving dinner with family. The closest we came to it, as the wine was poured and the meat, stuffing, and sweet potato came around the table was a question by an elder family member with regard to whether or not some younger members of our family, who recently went to college, actually had their student loans forgiven, as promised to them by the now mostly forgotten and illegitimate Biden Administration. The innocent, or perhaps pointed, query was met with dead silence by our younger family members, as the gravy boat and cranberry sauce...

In October, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) sent a chartered flight carrying Indian nationals back home, marking a growing trend in deportations to India. This was no ordinary flight - it was one of multiple large-scale “removal flights” carried out this year, each typically carrying more than 100 passengers. The flights were returning groups of Indian migrants who "did not establish a legal basis to remain in the US". According to US officials, the latest flight carrying adult men and women was routed to Punjab, close to many deportees' places of origin. No precise breakdown of hometowns was provided....

Listen to this trash from these hellbound heathens pretending to be a church—a “non-binary God” with plural pronouns, as if the One who thundered from Sinai is now taking cues from Twitter pronoun bios. They repeat this “creed” to their “non-binary” “Jesus.” I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads, and saw everyone as a sibling child of God. I believe in the rainbow spirit who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity…...

It is an unlikely return reminiscent of Harry Potter, "The Boy Who Lived", himself (or the Dark Lord Voldemort depending on your opinion). J.K. Rowling, author of the globally adored fantasy series who in recent years became a pariah in some quarters over her views on transgender people, appears to have just won the culture war she has been fighting for the past five years.Since 2019, Rowling has sparked impassioned debate—and backlash—over her statements on trans women and insistence on using male pronouns to describe them. The British-born writer has publicly supported women who question the legitimacy of trans women's...

HARTFORD, Connecticut - An extraordinary minister of Holy Communion who identifies as “transgender” said that Archbishop Christopher Coyne of Hartford, Connecticut, told him that he supports the so-called “LGBTQ community” and that he agreed to change the archdiocese’s transgender policy for students to be “more positive.” “Following my visit with Pope Francis, I was able to meet with our new Archbishop Christopher Coyne,” a gender-confused man going by the name “Lynn” Discenza wrote in a November 20 article published by LGBT activist group New Ways Ministry. St. Patrick-St. Anthony in Hartford, a Franciscan parish, recently held a Mass in anticipation...

Heresy purveyor Daystar Television Network has employed the law firm Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP to send requests for retractions via cease and desist letters (we call them “nastygrams” as a ministry that has received more than its fair share) to several YouTube discernment ministries and social media channels that have been critical of the heretical network and the actions of their president, Joni Lamb, who is being accused of covering up and downplaying sexual abuse by her son and daughter in law, Jonathan and Suzy Lamb. Some of these channels that have been hit with requests for “correction and...

For the firebrand Trump guru, beating ‘whining’ Democrats was just the beginning — at home and abroadUnder a cloudless desert sky on the day before Thanksgiving, one of Donald Trump’s top henchmen is denouncing a range of enemies including, but not limited to: the Department of Justice, federal bureaucrats, the Republican leader of the Senate and liberal former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who reportedly moved to the UK after the Republican electoral victory.“They’re all infesting the Cotswolds,” gripes Steve Bannon, stretching out on a sunchair at his holiday home in the shadow of Arizona’s Santa Catalina mountains. “F*** them....

Vice President Harris is still pumping Democratic donors for cash weeks after her blowout election loss — but its leaving supporters spent, critics said. “With Trump nominating MAGA loyalists left and right, there is nothing more important than making sure we can fight back and hold him accountable,” read an email from Kamala HQ which The Post received nearly three weeks after election day. “That’s why we need you to step up today. Yes, today.” “Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our Harris Fight Fund program yet,” the missive scolded. “We know the election didn’t turn...

Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face The Nation” that “there’s no obligation” for California state and local officials to assist with President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plan.

[Catholic Caucus] Jesuit-run America Magazine op-ed blames ‘misogyny’ for Trump winning Catholic voteThe heterodox Jesuit-run America Magazine published an op-ed earlier this month that blamed 'misogyny' for Catholics voting overwhelming for Trump, going as far as accusing St. Thomas Aquinas and Church teaching as being in error.The heterodox Jesuit-run America Magazine published an op-ed earlier this month that blamed 'misogyny' for Catholics voting overwhelming for Trump, going as far as accusing St. Thomas Aquinas and Church teaching as being in error. Absent female authority in the church, and given this theological throughline, it is not surprising that female authority is...

Biden administration's "climate envoy," John Kerry says "it's time we acknowledged that the world is facing a climate emergency. In less than 50 years the CO2 parts per million is projected to reach 500. That means for every million molecules of air 500 of them are CO2. This will be the highest concentration since humans evolved. We must make sacrifices to avert this disaster." One of the sacrifices Kerry suggests "is for Africans to skip past the mistakes the West has made by using fossil fuels to produce energy. The Industrial Revolution took place during the so-called 'little ice age'...
