    Users of Amazon's cloud-based Alexa voice service are receiving distinctly different answers regarding who they should vote for. When users asked Alexa "why should I vote for Kamala Harris," they were told "while there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field. Additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in the areas of criminal justice and immigration reform make her a compelling candidate." When users asked Alexa "why should I vote for...

    VIDEOIs the Brazilian Censorship Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who took down X (always to be known as Twitter) in Brazil and who threatened to arrest anyone using that platform, the Spawn of Satan? When you watch him in action he definitely gives off strong Demonic vibes as you can see.

    After four days of long-winded speeches and non-stop Trump-bashing, the Democratic National Convention is finally over. The DNC saw speeches from the Clintons, Obamas, and, of course, Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. It was the antics away from the main stage, however, which captivated conservatives across social media. While Edwin the Venezuelan alien was kept away from the convention, conservatives who managed to sneak into the DNC caused chaos among the Democratic attendees. One incognito activist was Matt Walsh, the conservative children’s author who’s risen to fame for his efforts against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across...

    Here we have the insanely rare Brittany Mahomes W. Brittany Mahomes is the wife of superstar Kansas City Quarterback Patrick Mahomes. She stays in the headlines pretty regularly. And this lady does not give two poops what other people think. Yeah, Mahomes liked a Trump post on Instagram. And then when people got ticked, she responded thusly: I mean ... I don't exactly get the response. But she's right, lefties do need to grow up. Conservatives see celebrities, athletes, and other stars disagree with them politically every single day and you don't have these sorts of hissy fits usually. But...

    Pay Attention. In 2020 President Trump won more votes than any sitting president in US history. Trump increased his vote totals by 12 million votes in 2020 over his first presidential victory in 2016. Trump won 16 of 17 bellwether counties and allegedly lost the election. Something that had never happened in 36 years. Trump won the bellwether states, Ohio, Florida, and Iowa handily, something EVERY winning candidate has accomplished since 1960. Biden won the fewest number of counties in the 2020 election by any alleged “winner” in history – winning only 16% of all US counties. In this same...

    VIDEOELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT!!!This morning I clicked on a Liberal Hivemind video and up came an ad. The problem was that instead of being the typical YouTube ad that you could skip after five or ten seconds, you had to watch the entire 1:19 minute ad. Later, when I clicked to watch a video from the Brian Craig Show the same thing happened. The same 1:19 ad for car insurance came up and I couldn't watch the Brian Craig video until it finished since it was unskippable. In this video I show what happens when you click on videos from both...

    In July former president Donald trump was shot in the ear while giving a campaign speech in Pennsylvania. Users attempting to access this event on Google had trouble. The site routed them away from the event and toward the 1950 attempted assassination of President Harry Truman by Puerto Rican gunmen. This week, the Harris/Walz campaign used the Google site to post phony news headlines falsely attributed to Reuters, CBS News, CNN, NPR and AP. The bogus headlines included: "Harris Will Lower Health Costs," "Harris' Vision: Lower Costs And Higher Wages," and "Inflation Is Down." Mark Isakowitz, Google Vice President of...

    As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X. The Monday night conversation hails Trump's return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook. (Snip) My Twitchy colleague PolitiBunny is quite correct. They despise the fact that they are on the outside looking in. You can hear the sarcasm dripping from Fischer's voice when she says, "Online fringe." This online fringe she...

    Mimicry of intelligence isn't intelligence, and so while AI mimicry is a powerful tool, it isn't intelligent.The mythology of Technology has a special altar for AI, artificial intelligence, which is reverently worshiped as the source of astonishing cost reductions (as human labor is replaced by AI) and the limitless expansion of consumption and profits. AI is the blissful perfection of technology's natural advance to ever greater powers.The consensus holds that the advance of AI will lead to a utopia of essentially limitless control of Nature and a cornucopia of leisure and abundance.If we pull aside the mythology's curtain, we find...

It’s the second consecutive year that Dell has made significant cuts to its workforce.The memo also...

    OpenAI is reportedly facing another lawsuit on its supposed artificial intelligence training methods, this time by YouTuber David Millette. Lawyers for David Millette, a YouTube user from Massachusetts, claim in a lawsuit filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that OpenAI secretly transcribed videos from Millette and other creators to train the models for their AI-powered chatbot platform, ChatGPT, and other generative AI tools and products. The complaint reportedly alleges that OpenAI significantly benefited from the creators' work by gathering this data, while also infringing copyright law and YouTube's terms of service which...

    VIDEO"Mr Beast" (the worlds largest, and most famous YouTuber) appears to have an ex employee openly claiming that he rigs competitions, and runs illegal lotteries. With a barrage of situations recently bringing his company under a microscope, there are questions that need to be asked about when exactly a YouTube creator, bridges the gap to be held accountable by larger broadcasting laws with regards to lotteries, giveaways, sweepstakes and game shows. With a career built around giving away large sums of money (with seemingly little oversight)... Mr. Beast is sitting in a metaphorical house of cards.

    The House Judiciary Committee released a report showing how the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) organized corporate cooperation aimed at silencing conservative viewpoints over the Internet by "demonetizing their platforms, podcasts, and news outlets." GARM's leader and co-founder, Rob Rakowitz emphasized that "our goal is to ensure that vendors don't inadvertently place ads on sites whose content could misinform the public. When we spot an ad on Breitbart, X, or Joe Rogan we contact the company to ask them if they really want ads for their product or service to be seen on these disreputable sites and whether they...
