AI hubris has become America’s chief source of good news. Over the past year, artificial intelligence surpassed bitcoin as mankind’s most easily imaginable pathway to quick riches, shortened work weeks, ingenious solutions to every problem, and endless satisfactions. An AI-assisted world supposedly will revolutionize the way we do business, enabling high school graduates, even mediocre ones, to do the grunt work of Wharton MBAs. It will make government workers heroically efficient, fine print more readable and Shakespeare more accessible to the masses. AI will allow paralegals to leverage the law library as effectively as Ivy-educated Supreme Court clerks, homemakers to...

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wants to install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in all cars. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy emphasized that "human error is the chief cause of almost all traffic crashes. The most common error is excessive speed. The weak link in our effort to eliminate this error is expecting drivers to heed posted speed limits. ISA would bypass this weak link." "With ISA the vehicle's Global Positioning System (GPS) would coordinate with the posted speed limits," she explained. "Ideally, the ISA would absolutely control the vehicle's speed. Should this approach be deemed too intrusive, the ISA could...

In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump is calling on Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis as his legal team prepares his defense in the state’s “election subversion” trial. Trump’s lawyers are requesting that Willis, Fulton County’s district attorney, provide evidence to Special Counsel Jack Smith. Steve Sadow, Trump’s top lawyer in Georgia, wants to access lists of discovery evidence in Trump’s overlapping 2020 election case in Washington D.C. Sadow asked Willis to contact prosecutor Jack Smith for that material. The move comes after Trump’s lawyers in D.C. said they could not share it, citing a protective order from leftist...

Good news for Elon Musk. A judge appointed by former President Donald Trump will oversee the high-profile lawsuit filed by Musk against the far-left organization Media Matters. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Elon Musk’s X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Media Matters on Monday, accusing the “radical anti-free speech organization” of publishing a report that falsely claimed that X was allowing ads to run next to pro-Nazi content. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division, alleges that Media Matters’ report was “malicious” and...

I have a problem. The idiot morons at Facebook insist that I enable something called Facebook Protect. They've locked my account. They insist on two-factor verification from third parties like Google Verify or Duo. They want me to get a code, then come back to FB and input it. These sites are designed to put an app on your phone. I don't have a smartphone (by choice) and I cannot figure out how the heck to get this done on my desktop.

Audit the Vote PA released an explosive video following the November 7, 2023, Pennsylvania Supreme Court election that has so far been largely ignored. We hope to change that today. Thanks to Behizy for posting this on his popular Twitter-X account. Audit the Vote PA posted video recently that shows 386,151 in-person votes were removed from Pennsylvania Republican Supreme Court candidate Carolyn Carluccio on election night. Flash Sale On MyPillow’s Giza Dream Sheets – “The Nicest I’ve Ever Owned” Republican Carluccio ended up losing the race by 207,237 votes but no one has given any explanation as to how votes...

Out today, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life, blows the lid off of Meta’s pattern of intentionally using harmful and aggressive tactics to get users addicted to social media apps like Facebook and Instagram and documents a shocking rise in depression and suicide that some scientists have linked to social media use. This comes just weeks after dozens of state attorneys general (AGs) filed suit against Facebook’s and Instagram’s parent company, Meta Platforms Inc. (Meta), and three of its subsidiaries, for harming children by addicting them to the social media...

🚨THREAD: Tucker Carlson on Duplicated Ballots, Falsified Tally Sheets, and Mail-In Ballot Fraud in Fulton County, Georgia “It now appears there actually was meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia, last November (2020). That is not a conspiracy theory. It’s true. Surveillance footage obtained by VoterGA shows large numbers of ballots being scanned multiple times. Pay attention to the women wearing yellow at the desk. According to VoterGA, she slides ballots into a scanning machine, removes the ballots, and then reinserts the same ballots. This happens multiple times. The question is, how many times were these ballots counted? Was each...

President Biden unveiled sweeping plans for domestic and international regulation of artificial intelligence that will consign conservatives to virtual gulags.The executive order on “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence”, signed by President Biden last week, sets out in detail how federal agencies are to use and regulate artificial intelligence (AI), including promoting global standards to moderate online content.The new tools to silence and cancel conservatives are being created under the rubric of providing “safeguards” against discrimination, bias, and disinformation and promoting “rights-affirming” approaches in digital technologies.

A viral post on X has rocked the foundations of the entire Trump “fraud” case. We’ve seen numerous “game changers” lately in this sham case, but this latest revelation could potentially be the most significant. Investigative journalist Laura Loomer appears to have discovered the social media account of the judge’s wife overseeing the Trump fraud case in New York City. If these claims hold true, the posts may shed light on his bias and radical stance against Trump. Laura shared her findings on X, making a point to tag Trump’s legal team to alert them to what may be going...

Or from 2018. Or from 2022. Or from any election where the feckless RNC is tasked with holding the line against a relentless assault on Americans’ rights and freedoms. Based on these off-year election results, things are going to get a whole lot worse for Republican voters to mobilize to make necessary changes in their government. First, let’s get to the gubernatorial elections. Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear was re-elected after beating Trump-endorsed candidate Daniel Cameron, an evangelical running amidst an unpopular near-total state ban on abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. Beshear’s...

After months of waiting, Steven Crowder and his crew have released what they purport to be a copy of the transgender Covenant school shooter's anti-white manifesto. Steven Crowder just released what he says is the Nashville shooter's manifesto. If true, it's even worse than I imagined. Ladies and gentlemen, stories like this have to be prefaced with a Jupiter sized "allegedly" up front, so understand that this news release from Steven Crowder hasn't been verified by anyone except Steven Crowder (and also, well, Alex Jones). NOTTHEBEE.COM https://notthebee.com/article/stephen-crowder-just-released-what-he-says-is-the-nashville-shooters-manifesto-if-true-its-even-sicker-than-i-imagined Immediately after release, according to Crowder and others, Facebook began to censor the...

So I recently retired from the air force and I'm just looking to keep busy and keep my brain learning. I created a mobile game that you can try on itcho.io. I'll soon be releasing it on the app stores (iphone and android). I'd love your feedback on what you think. Is the music for each mode appropriate? Is it fun? Are the modes distinct and interesting enough to try each one? You can try the game here: https://schlista.itch.io/kabocha

This person on TikTok posted a video documenting their unplugged appliances before taking a trip and honestly, it's kind of ingenious. Among all the intrusive thoughts I deal with on a regular basis, one of them involves trying to remember whether or not I did the most important things I should do before leaving the house. Namely, I ask myself if I locked the door, turned the stove off, or performed any other security tasks before stepping out. And even if I check all of those things off and officially leave, alarms will start going off in asking me if...
