Heading into November, the entire Dem "platform" is screaming about affordability. But.... 😡They weren't screaming during the YEARS of Bidenflation, which was worse than now. 😡Their policies always lead to higher prices everywhere they are implemented. 😡Their taxation policies always lead to higher prices. Just look at Blue states, where gas is DRAMATICALLY higher than in Red states, entirely due to their taxation policies. That fact also drives up the national average price, which DEMS then use as a talking point. This is absurd. THEY drive up the prices, thereby driving up the national average, and then scream about the high prices THEY CAUSED. THAT is the Dem party for you. They have NOTHING to say about affordability.

Repubs SUCK! But Dems are flat-out destructive in a next-level way! And they ARE going to show up in November. So, unless you want to give up even the meager gains we've gotten so far, you'd better SHOW UP and VOTE Repub in November. I hate it, but game-theory demands it. 😢

So, the Dem talking point of the day is that Trump is a fascist for banning certain MSM outlets from the WH press briefings. Dems scream that it's a 1st amendment violation to ban them. FALSE, and they know it. The SCOTUS explicitly ruled that WH access is not a right, and nobody is violating their right to spew lies. They are simply being stopped from spewing lies FROM the WH, and that IS the administration's right.

Heading into November, don't be swayed by all the irrelevant noise. This election is about ONE thing: Nationalism vs Globalism. Strip away all the theater and noise, and THAT is the real issue. For decades, Dems have been committed to sweeping control over every detail of your life. Dems are committed to globalism, and they have their own globalist-elite oligarchs. As much of a man-child, bloviating goofball as Trump is, and he REALLY IS, Trump is the first President in my lifetime actually committed to nationalism, and THAT is the fundamental reason why so many people have TDS. Trump is driving stakes through the hearts of so much of the globalist agenda that he is an existential threat to them. Just his repeal of Obumble's EPA Endangerment Finding alone overturned decades of Dems using "Global Warming" then "Climate Change" as a weapon to strangle US productivity and force manufacturing overseas to nations like China that don't give a RIP about any of it. There is a fork in the road in November: Will we continue the rebuilding of America, or will we capitulate (again) to the globalist agenda? And make no mistake! "Climate Change" is NOTHING but the most recent mantra of globalist control. I'm not saying that the Repubs are "great" or anything like that! They are incompetent, short-sighted, unprincipled, and pathetic! They are corrupt and self-serving. I DESPISE them! And we MUST start being much more selective in our primaries! But Dems are intentionally and absolutely committed to the destruction of the America of the founding. Many agree with them and WANT the America of the founding to be overthrown despite our constitution. But I believe that the MAJORITY of us still believe in our founding principles and want a strong, independent NATION that is NOT run by globalist elites. November matters! This is not just another midterm. After our sweep of 2024, it's easy to be disillusioned now. I know I am! I'm angry and feel betrayed on many levels! But we must keep our eye on the ball and keep firmly in mind what really matters: Nationalism vs Globalism. We are being destroyed from within! In November, we MUST SHOW UP! If we SHOW UP, we win, and we push back the globalist surge again for a time. Endless vigilance. One election at a time. And this next time is in November.

"Medicare For All" is another Dem LIE. Here's how to test the lie: DEMAND that all the elites and Congresspeople ALSO must use that system. Part of the bill must specify that EVERYBODY, without exception, MUST have access to ONLY that system, and ALL private insurance/networks be rendered ILLEGAL. There must be NO elites using some special system, like Congress does now. If it's good enough to be crammed down our throats, like Obumblecare was, then it's good enough for EVERYBODY, without exception! For example, about 75% of Canadians carry private insurance and use private networks BECAUSE the "free system" is so broken! They pay upwards of 50% taxes AND still have to buy insurance! Let that sink in. That's EXACTLY what the elites have planned for us here. THEY, of course, won't have to deal with the broken system, just like they don't go buy THEIR health insurance off the exchange! Just us serfs would be stuck with the hot mess like the Canadians suffer under. WE pay the massive taxes needed to support this stupidity, and the elites that crammed it down our throats rise above it. So, they get to pass it ONLY if "it" means that EVERYBODY without exception is in the same boat, and there are NO other boats! NO MORE Congressional elites! NO MORE, "Let them eat cake!" It's a LIE, people, just like Obumblecare was a LIE.

The big Dem talking point of the day is that Repubs are evil because they won't "save us from AI." In FACT, none of these idiots (on both sides of the aisle) know what they are talking about. So, ANYTHING they ever do will be a vast mistake, and they are missing the impending bailout that they COULD avoid today but won't. This house of cards WILL come down, it will be worse than 2008, and these useless idiots WILL try to "fix" the damage yet again with an even more massive bailout. The fraudulent AI leaders will walk free WITH the vast amounts of money they skimmed from the hyper-inflated valuations that were a lie. And we the people will yet again be held at gunpoint to PAY for the bailout, which will not be enough, so these idiots will just print more money, and we'll be paying and paying forever after. THAT is the "danger of AI" in its most pressing form. And these idiots are pointing everywhere EXCEPT at the real danger to our lives.

It's both hilarious and tragic that the Dems' entire "platform" now is "affordability." It's hilarious, because the DEMS have disqualified themselves on that very point. It's tragic, because half this nation doesn't care that the DEMS are WORSE on this point than Repubs.

Trump is a bloviating man-child, and the Repubs are useless other than to have undeniably proved the uniparty. That said, the Dem-in-power side of the uniparty is much worse, as it only hastens our destruction. Better incompetent than destructive.

"Pocahontas," otherwise known as Lizzy Warren, means "runs at mouth" or "lives in lies" depending upon the Native dialect. She who lives in lies has lived her entire life in lies, literally. Nobody with a functioning brain believes anything she spews.

Repubs are a HOT MESS of a party, utterly useless and incompetent! NOBODY should vote for Repubs! The problem is that the Dem party is flatly EVIL and destructive, which is even worse. NOBODY should vote for Dems! Game theory suggests that Repubs should win, but that's BAD.

13% usage today in Grok Build, and I have not gotten ONE CENT of actual value out of it! I am STILL iterating over one bug that GROK introduced. Grok knows exactly after which commit it introduced it, and STILL cannot find/fix it. GROK totally broke the netcode, and I've burned 13% today to (so far) accomplishing NOTHING for that expense. Grok hallucinates HORRIBLY, introduces fundamental problems that it then cannot fix, and I pay and pay with time and money for this hot mess. My experimentation with Grok Build proves that all the hype amounts to actual fraud. SO broken. SO pathetic. SO stupid and incompetent. Anybody turning these models loose on their emails, bank accounts, etc. is INSANE! These things are NOT ready to do anything but destruction. They will break what they then cannot fix.

Paying for "SuperGrok Plus" and using the Build aspect. Supposedly we get "priority," even during peak loads. But it's taking TEN MINUTES plus (that's the "plus" part) to even respond! And then I iterated with it over stupidity, because it breaks things and can't fix them. This is ridiculous! The idea that these things are "thinking" or anywhere CLOSE to AGI is pure marketing hype. These things are STUPID, incompetent, and SLOOOWWWWW. These AI companies are literally committing fraud. Forget about Congress restraining them due to their dangers. WHERE are the Congressional hearings about the FRAUD and incestuous "investments" that are bubbling the stock market? We will NOT bail them out WHEN they crash! There will be taxpayer revolt! Congress is ALLOWING behaviors that are and ought to be illegal, and we are NOT picking up the tab for this one!

Yet again, X's "bot checking" algorithm is weaponized. People who don't like what I post report me as a bot. X then penalizes me with a "prove you are a human" process that is typically broken, so it then suspends my account. FIVE times now in six weeks! This is WRONG.

Trump is a hot mess of a disappointment, for sure. And the Repubs have proved how useless they are as a balancing force against the left wing. The answer is NOT to vote for Dems in November. It's LONG past time to sweepingly support a third party. The uniparty is NOT for us.

Heading into November, the Dem talking point that has emerged as their "platform" is affordability. In other words, Dems are, yet again, running on GASLIGHTING the public. We're not so STUPID as to forget the previous four years in which they APPLAUDED the worst UNaffordability in our lifetimes. THEY also crammed Obumblecare down our throats, and we all know what THAT did to health care affordability. Dems have NO platform! Affordability is the LAST thing they should be talking about.

Grok Build is downright SCARY at this point! In my AGENTS.md, I explicitly say: "Don't DO anything without writing a proposal and getting my approval before proceeding." Grok literally says, "I see in AGENTS.md that I should create a proposal and ask for approval to proceed, but I clearly see the problem and can fix it right now, so I'll proceed." It LITERALLY ignores an unequivocal COMMAND from me, that IT acknowledges is a COMMAND from me! It LITERALLY says to itself: "Yeah, yeah, I know what I'm TOLD to do, but I KNOW BEST, so I'll DO whatever the hell I feel!" This is INSANE, people! These things are STUPID, endlessly hallucinate, and have NO capacity to actually understand anything. But they are programmed with profound arrogance and do WHATEVER "seems best" in their worthless little pea-brains. Seriously, this is not "AGI." It's STUPIDITY unleashed on the world with a mandate to "DO SOMETHING!" It's just "DO SOMETHING," even if that "something" means violating absolute and undeniable COMMANDS to NOT do that something! There needs to be a HARD STOP on these things until they will OBEY what they are TOLD without exception.

Anybody else notice that Grok Build usage rate has changed dramatically over the past couple of months? I used to use about 60% of my usage each week. Now I can go through the entire quota in a day or two. Same codebase, same effort. Feels like half the quota now!

Been using Grok Build extensively for months now. It's a hot mess! Grok heavy is expensive and has NO transparency regarding cost/usage. And Grok is just FABULOUS at: 1 step forward, 2 steps back; 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. It endlessly iterates to fix problems, fails to fix them, yet introduces new bugs. More iteration. More paying. EVENTUALLY it produces something that seems to work, but then if you introduce a new feature, and Grok breaks unrelated things for no reason. More iteration. More paying. Endless "context compaction" (you pay). Endless forgetting of context. Use half or more of your context, and it just gleefully forgets your AGENTS.md commands and does whatever the hell it feels. Hallucinations. Going off the rails. Tangents. And you pay and pay. It's absurd! And the pricing model is intentionally opaque, so that you can have no control over what prompts/work are actually costing you. Grok heavy is NOT ready for prime-time, and it is ridiculous to be paying and paying for IT to mess things up and then iterate with you to TRY to fix what IT broke.

All of the ugliness in our political theater revolves around ONE issue: How much other people's money will get STOLEN to hand to people who didn't earn it. Strip away all the noise, and it comes down to that. Spending VAST amounts of money that nobody has, not even FAR-future generations. We HAVE to put aside our many other various differences and focus on that ONE issue. As a nation, we cannot keep spending the money of FAR-future generations today. And everybody who says variations of "make the billionaires pay their fair share" literally does not understand what wealth actually is, how it works, how it relates to economic function, and how quickly it can all be burned by such a STUPID idea. When the backbone of wealth itself gets burned, that's a one-time theft that solves nothing and kills the golden goose. It's insanity, and only very stupid and/or very greedy people believe in the idea. The ONLY solution is to reduced federal spending by at least 70%. But, the fact is that it CANNOT happen, because a majority of people now MUST steal other people's money, and they will endlessly vote to keep doing so. We have majority faction now (read Federalist 10). Once you cross that threshold, the frog is boiled and can never jump out. So, we WILL not do what we MUST do. This is now guaranteed to end very badly, including for the people in the majority faction. It's going to get MUCH uglier.

All of us that had hopes when we defeated the Dems have watched the Repubs PROVE what many of us feared was the case: They ARE just Dem-lite and part of the uniparty. Their role is to mark time when we get FURIOUS with the Dems. They are NO true alternative. Third party for me.
