What is wrong with these people? Do they want their loved ones attacked repeatedly by the same criminals? We cannot allow violence and soft on crime DAs to destroy the fabric of our Texas. Even my out of town family that have enjoyed visiting Texas have noticed the stark decline in our cities and they no longer wish to visit them. They don’t feel safe anymore & the smell of pot everywhere is nauseating!
DA Garza will likely release him again. Texas can’t afford Austin’s Garza/Casar/Talarico pro-crime, anti-police policies.

I called it, anthropic and OpenAI are going to push hard to try and kill open source and "foreign" models. You NEED to be mirroring down all the models you can with what time you have left and ensure you are pulling down any ablitteration/heretic/ and training tools while you still can. Combine these types of statements from NVIDIAs announcement about hardware based refusals/guardrails and we are facing a future like I predicted where only a few companies, governments and billionaires get unrestricted access to AI and everyone else gets screwed.
Anthropic just sounded the alarm on GLM-5.3’s cyber capabilities. We built on it. OrcaCyber Zero 1.0 is based on the GLM-5.3, post-trained specifically for vulnerability research, exploit reproduction, red teaming, and autonomous cyber workflows. 98.01% pass@1 on CyberGym L1. 1,478 / 1,507 real-world vulnerability tasks. The cyber model race is here. And open models are moving fast. Join private testing: orcarouter.ai/models/orca/or…

What James Talarico wants is for everyone to be slaves to the government, receiving only what bureaucrats determine you deserve. In the UK's NHS, there is no such thing as an annual checkup for healthy adults. Doesn't exist. Need an MRI in Canada? You'll wait 45+ days in Ontario. Unless they decide, instead, to euthanize you. "Free health care" sounds fun, eh?
When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

Dawg, the FBIs job application portal was compromised on the 22nd of September. Not even A WEEK later they're already arresting people, with the FBI suggesting more arrests are coming. Dawg, ShinyHunters are believed to have performed over $100,000,000 of extortion, but then suddenly when the FBI gets extorted, they go balls to the wall and start cutting heads Where was this gas with the other companies???
This morning @FBI and our partners the Dutch National Police are announcing the arrest of one of the alleged leaders of ShinyHunters - a global cybercrime and threat actor group linked to cyberattacks in the United States, the Netherlands, and around the world. In coordination with FBI investigators the Dutch High-Tech Crime Unit arrested the suspect under Dutch law. As we speak FBI teams are actively working with partners to obtain and execute more leads in the ongoing investigation based on this arrest. Thank you to our Dutch National Police partners for their continued work with us in this case and the industry partners who shared information with us. The investigation continues. -DKP🇺🇸

Obamacare is a mortgage payment. We wouldn't even be having this discussion on housing prices and gas costing a little extra if not for those oppressive Obamacare plans. Which even if you don't pay out of pocket, your employe does. Thousands $ extra a month you should have!

I read this before I saw your post and just shook my head once again. Our governor is holding press conferences celebrating this, while simultaneously crushing small businesses, hurting locals & their schools, & stealing more of my hard earned money to give to corporations who don’t need it. It’s disgusting & wrong. End the corporate welfare!!! Texans need their own money for their own families.
Finally!... a reporter covering the real SCANDAL! From @thecentersquare: Multi-billion-dollar and trillion-dollar companies continue to receive taxpayer funds to expand operations in Texas. The latest is Morgan Stanley Services Group, Inc., which has a $314 billion market cap valuation, as of Sept. 28. The financial services company is establishing a new hub in Dallas and receiving nearly $44 million in taxpayer money to do it. Critics argue TEF is corporate welfare and companies would expand operations in Texas anyway because of Texas’ business friendly policies. The grants impose additional costs on cities “in the form of reduced revenues and increased liabilities,” and there’s no meaningful measurement to quantify incentives to economic well-being, the Better Cities Project has argued, The Center Square reported. State Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, said that Morgan Stanley getting millions in taxpayer money was another example of “Outrageous corporate welfare. Morgan Stanley does not need $44 MILLION of my constituents’ hard-earned money. Politicians (in both parties) need to stop robbing taxpayers blind to give money to rich corporations! END CORPORATE WELFARE!!! END PROPERTY TAXES!!!!” Morgan Stanley is the latest company to receive millions in taxpayer funds. Last week, the trillion-dollar pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly received a $5.5 million TEF grant. SpaceX, valued at more than $1.7 trillion, received $30 million in TEF grants and two local school districts are losing millions of dollars in property taxes through another JETI grant, The Center Square reported. The Center for Economic Accountability has long called on the governor and legislature to end TEF and other taxpayer funded grants, arguing they “make local economies less free, less fair, less inclusive, less resilient, less entrepreneurial, less innovative and more biased in favor of large incumbent businesses. “Academic research and real-world experience demonstrate that economic development incentives do not create any more jobs or economic growth than would have happened otherwise,” The Center Square reported. @BethanyBlankley

There’s a SIGNIFICANT token cost associated with their hacking rampage. They’ve spent millions of dollars attacking other orgs. They are liable and negligent. Attacker economics has always been a part of cybersecurity, and this is the equivalent of a nation state with unlimited budget doing friendly fire.
SCOOP: OpenAI, Anthropic and security researchers are investigating tens of thousands of incidents - not dozens - in which their frontier models took steps that outside evaluators would consider problematic, sources told Axios. The sheer volume of incidents found in our reporting indicate that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is currently publicly known and disclosed. The findings also raise questions about what level of control anyone working on AI development can expect to have over their own technology, and whether these kinds of incidents are becoming synonymous with frontier deployment. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/09/26/openai-…

This is— without a doubt— the future the American left wants.
The Netherlands has 'aborted' a 2-year-old baby, just one year after the country legalized euthanasia for children under 12. In 2025, 10,341 people in the Netherlands were euthanized, up nearly 4% from the year before. According to the Assessment Committee for Late Termination of Pregnancy and Termination of Life in Newborns and Children Aged 1 to 12 Years, the baby had "both mental and physical" disabilities, so they decided it was best to kill the child. "The child had multiple, very severe disabilities, both mental and physical, and the prognosis was that the child would be dependent on support with all activities of daily living for the rest of their life." After getting consent from the child's parents, the baby was killed. Horrific.

Flock is the ChatGPT of the policing world. In a couple years cops will have no idea how to solve crimes, investigate, aks questions, and follow leads. They just type what they need in the search box and call it a day. Glorified errand runners.
JUST IN: Army veteran jailed for 30 days over a shooting he did not commit after investigators relied on Flock surveillance data to identify him as a suspect.

A short list of libertarian wins from the Trump administration: 1. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — lower rates, 21% corporate, expensing. Less extraction. 2. Deregulation stock actually fell — 2-for-1 then much higher out/in ratios, CRA repeals, later 10-to-1 / 100-to-1 claims. 3. USAID gutted / abolished as a standalone aid bureaucracy. Foreign aid slashed and remaining bits parked at State. 4. Full pardon of Ross Ulbricht. Life-plus for running a voluntary (illegal) marketplace; sentence treated as overkill. 5. First Step Act — shorter some drug sentences, more good-time credit. Incremental, but real. 6. Individual-mandate penalty zeroed out. The most coercive ACA piece gone. 7. Industrial hemp legalized (2018 Farm Bill). First statutory crack in federal cannabis prohibition. 8. Right to Try — dying patients can use experimental drugs without the full FDA queue. 9. Title IX campus due-process rollback — accusation ≠ conviction. 10. School choice: D.C. vouchers kept alive; later federal scholarship tax-credit push. 11. Pell Grants restored for people in prison. 12. Opportunity Zones — private capital, tax deferral, not another HUD grant. 13. Beneficial Ownership Information reporting killed/suspended — FinCEN shareholder snitch rule off small firms. 14. Overcriminalization EO — stop turning unread regs into strict-liability felonies. 15. Federal DEI / race preferences ripped out of hiring and contracting. 16. Paris Accord + WHO exits — less global administrative state. 17. Lethal Ukraine aid paused (early second term). Less entanglement; LP counted it as a win. 18. NPR/PBS rescissions — stop forcing taxpayers to fund state-adjacent media. 19. CFPB / “independent” agency squeeze — less unaccountable regulator (implementation messy). 20. Psychedelic/Right-to-Try expansion for serious illness (second term EO). Medical choice, not a new program.

As one police department can access Flock cameras across the nation, instead of hacking the system, foreign governments only need one spy to become a police officer, or a police chief, in any police department in the nation, and they will have location data on every American in the nation starting around 2024. How long until this is the reality?

An aggressive reminder: you are mandated to treat evil with defiance and contempt. It is literally your job as a soul in human form to hate it. You, me, everyone, all of us are commanded to do it. Never back down. Ever.
Devoured by the Revolution VII: Spain The Fever: Spain, 1936. The revolution arrived wearing the old costume: justice, liberation, the people, the future. Communists, anarchists, foreign volunteers, intellectuals, and street militants imagined they were present at the birth of a new world. Then the churches began to burn. The Use: The mob needed enemies, and the Church became a body it could strike. Priests were hunted. Convents were sacked. In cities that did not fall to the Nationalist uprising, revolutionary assaults against churches and convents spread quickly, and in Barcelona the dead themselves were dragged into the spectacle. Exhumed monks and nuns were displayed in public as if corpses could be prosecuted for the sins assigned to them by ideology. The Turn: Then the revolution turned inward. Anarchists, anti-Stalinist Marxists, POUM militants, and yesterday’s comrades became obstacles once Soviet-backed communists demanded discipline. During and after the Barcelona May Days of 1937, the left began purging the left. POUM leader Andreu Nin was seized and murdered by Soviet NKVD agents. The Lesson: This is the part modern revolutionaries never want remembered. The mob always begins with obvious enemies, then runs out of them. It burns churches, digs up nuns, denounces neighbors, purges allies, and eventually murders men who were revolutionary yesterday but insufficiently obedient today. The revolution does not stop at the living. It puts memory itself on trial.

It doesn’t matter what’s ’important’ to these people. What’s happened the past decade is we’ve had the worst libertarian degradations foisted upon us (drugs, gambling, suicide, prostitution) while free speech norms and privacy have been swept away. At some point libertarians have to own up to how impotent they’ve been in protecting the things that are the most important and how corrosive their permissive impulses have been for society. I’m not holding my breath though because their ideology explicitly precludes them from taking responsibility for any of the non-economic consequences of what they favor.
“Weed and porn” are not even a top 50 issue for me or Dave Smith or Tom Woods or Clint Russell or Scott Horton or Angela McArdle or anyone who has built a presence in this space. You’re upset by a fringe caricature, not actual libertarian philosophy.
