KJP, Biden’s excuse for a press secretary, defended the president’s dementia – attested to in the recent special prosecutor Robert Hur report about his mishandling classified documents – by reading from a desperately compiled list of Republicans who have misspoken in the past. That tack further illustrates how intellectually challenged are most members of Team Biden by confusing the constant stream of forgetfulness, mistakes, and malaprops that come out of our sitting president’s mouth with the one-offs that most mentally healthy people make now and then. One can also counter this argument by pointing out that it isn’t ignorance about Joe’s condition at all, but intimate knowledge of the man’s incapability of handling spontaneous communications in the public forum. Therefore, his exposure to such ‘opportunities’ must be minimized at all times during this election year. Half the country’s consumers of lamestream media are also clueless about this aspect of the man they voted for.
Another vast area of ignorance cum imbecility is shared by leftwing Californians who have no idea about the sources of the state’s tax revenues. Over the years RR has contained numerous reports of the outlandish fraction of such revenues paid by ‘the rich’. (e.g. 1% of top earning taxpayers pay 42% of our taxes while the bottom 70% pay just 11%.) And most recently a column by Thea Hood in the 12jan24 Union (here) detailed the percentages as reported by various state agencies. She was immediately attacked by local socialists who would have none of it, claiming that such numbers are nothing but rightwing propaganda, proving again that not only can you have your own opinions, but also your own convenient facts. And some call this the information age?
“Sam Altman Seeks Trillions of Dollars to Reshape Business of Chips and AI. OpenAI chief pursues investors including the U.A.E. for a project possibly requiring up to $7 trillion.” (more here) All of this is due to the massive processing and storage requirements needed for training large language models (LLMs), today’s epitomy of machine intelligence that has the potential to surpass humans in every conceivable task and will create markets for microchips and energy that cannot be supplied by today’s industry and infrastructure. Altman is attempting to prepare for those days, and wants most of the new chip plants to be built in the US. But I predict that our anti-American socialists will do all that they can to throw sand in those gears like they are already doing in Arizona to slow progress on the new big chip factory being built there. For global collectivists America cannot remain the world's hegemon.
[11feb24 update] Review time. A conspiracy is usually defined as “an unlawful, harmful, or evil plan formulated in secret by two or more persons.” In actuality the conspiracy need not have a dark side, but could also be something benevolent that is planned in secret by two or more persons. And labeling something as a ‘conspiracy theory’ does not necessarily mean that it is false.
Maintaining our open southern border has been planned and perpetrated as an anti-American conspiracy by the Left. Inviting millions of illegal aliens to irretrievably spread themselves across our land is in fact unlawful, harmful, and evil to the extent that it foments the destruction of our culture and political structure, to replace it by a governance that promotes globalism through the destruction of the United States into a powerless second-world socialist country. The lamestream media deny this conspiracy; and even Fox News is afraid to explain it to their audiences, leaving that to individual commentators who are then labeled ‘far right’ and ‘radical’. This goes on as the Biden administration has no better explanation for their unconstitutional conspiracy other than repeatedly parroting the blatant lie that “the border is secure.”
[14feb24 update] A couple of climate scumbags were arrested in the National Archives for throwing pink powder on the protected display of the US Constitution. These people confirm daily the many ways they hate America. Do not be fooled that the climate activists among us are loyal Americans. The evidence against that notion abounds. (more here)
[17feb24 update] FCC bans AI-voiced robocalls in wake of ‘Biden’ calls to NH residents. Well, it’s started. Scammers have begun using the new AI-voicing technology to convince consumers, voters, et al of thins being true that really aren’t. And the voice over their telephones sounds very convincing. It will be interesting to see how the FCC and the states’ attorney generals are able to enforce such censorship. When this technology is combined with already existing video synthesizing real people saying wrong things, then the media consumers are really flummoxed because the scam messages will be marbled in with the authentic video and audio segments, and no one will be able to tell the difference. News outlets will have a new challenge in vetting such media and convincing their audiences of the authenticity of what they broadcast. (more here)
