Is It a Crisis or Attack?

Is It a Crisis or Attack?
The “Migrant Crisis” We need to stop calling the crisis at the border a “migrant crisis”. Progressives understand the power of language. They use it like a battering arm against unsuspecting conservatives. They did this with the term for people who cross the border illegally. What once was “criminal alien” became “illegal immigrant”, which morphed into “undocumented migrant”. They even attempted “asylum seekers”. At some point, conservatives need to step up to the plate and quit apologizing for how they feel and what they believe. The truth is the term should be “invasion of criminals.” It stands as nothing less. This moment moves beyond policy, politics, and candidates. This comes as a crossroads in the life of our nation. It’s not racist. It’s… read more
 

The Falling of America

The Falling of America
America sits in rough shape. We watch our government act like a third-world dictatorship. It levies criminal case after criminal case against the candidate leading the opposing party. It goes after parents who speak up at school board meetings. It attacks people who pray in front of abortion clinics. It forgets the 5th Amendment as it brutalizes the opposition. Then our government turns around and allows chaos in the form of riots, destruction, murder, theft, and assault. Political points of view, organizations, and associations all matter as to whether the full weight of the law will come down on a person or not. After all, a prosecutor charging a former president of lying, corruption, etc. has been granted clearance after being found guilty of committing the same… read more
 

What is In The TikTok Bill?

What is In The TikTok Bill?
Why talk about the Tiktok Bill? I really do not have the time to be doing this, but I thought it was important. A lot of information gets passed around on the internet from day-to-day. And plenty of those in the conservative and libertarian camp get squeamish when we talk about government restricting anything. I understand that. In fact, I’m not even sure I’ve come up with a complete opinion about this bill. However, this bill has a lot about it that people are NOT talking about. Most of the talking points being bandied about include: “They’ll use it to shut down Rumble” or “X”. “President Trump doesn’t like it, so it must not be any good.” “Biden will use it to shut down MAGA supporters.” “It’s a slap in the face to libertarians.” … read more

The Dangers of AI?

The Dangers of AI?
The Dangers of AI? By: Mike Sonneveldt Google Gemini AI goes woke Last week, we watched Google scramble to play cover on a story that blew up the internet. Users of Google's AI Gemini flooded X.com (formerly known as Twitter) with images of female, Asian founder fathers, black Greek soldiers, and even a stoic black George Washington. Most of the posts on X.com mocked Google's AI project and pointed out the obvious bias flowing from the program. However, it begged the larger question: can artificial intelligence be used in a productive, free-market way without bringing destruction in a Terminator-esque fashion? In an email to staff, which leaked to Bloomberg, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai used the words "completely unacceptable" when referring to the latest debacle. He said in … read more
