I agree 100% about not trying to pass laws to regulate AI. Government oversight is enough. AI is already playing a huge part in our future and has been for sometime now. Anyone that owns a smart phone, computer, and many other products including self driving car knows it if they possess one lick of common sense at all. Let these companies regulate themselves. AI companies need be responsible and liable for their own products. Passing regulatory laws only helps China and the AI developers by passing some liability onto the taxpayers, and helps cripple small startup companies from competition. This hoax that AI is going to kill us all in a few years is just as bad as a climate hoax in believing that expensive regulations are going to fix it. There’s no regulations our government can impose to force other countries to comply with US laws.

Things orders of magnitude smarter than Cackler @KamalaHarris: 1) Cork of a wine bottle 2) Wine bottle 3) Wine 4) Sand This is the type of post that upsets my academic colleagues. They are sophisticated and nuanced whereas I'm just a mean uncouth guy from Lebanon. The only problem is that I'm roughly 1,000 times more sophisticated than all of them combined. But I have this little thing called a personality and joie de vivre.
If you want to feel better about yourself today, listen to Kamala Harris try to explain AI algorithms.

🚨 UPDATE: Elon Musk just took a HUGE victory lap after the DOGE-enhanced federal SAVE database — used to purge noncitizens and illegals from voter rolls — is GREENLIT by the US Supreme Court, 6-3 "Even this ALONE makes DOGE worth it," Elon said 🔥 DOGE is HUGE for America, and it's STILL infuriating Democrats and catching fraudsters to this day 👏🏻 Even Chuck Schumer came out and panicked that Elon's team of geniuses overhauled SAVE, making it MUCH more efficient at purging illegal voters. Clean the rolls and SAVE OUR ELECTIONS 🇺🇸@elonmusk

🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data. The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has hereby REINSTATED the proof of citizenship-to-register-to-vote law in JD Vance's home state of OHIO GREAT NEWS! This makes it harder for Dems to cheat in November 🔥 The lower court ruling BLOCKING the proof of citizenship is now overturned, 2-1 The court found that the law likely DOES NOT prevent people from registering to vote. Imagine that! Every state needs this, and the SENATE must pass it federally

🚨BREAKING: President Trump has signed the papers making Marco Rubio the official national security adviser. Rubio has been doing the job on an acting basis since May 2025, after Michael Waltz left. He already is secretary of state. Now both titles are permanent. He is only the second person in U.S. history to hold those two posts at the same time. Henry Kissinger did it in the 1970s. Rubio will keep running the State Department and the National Security Council. He stays the direct line to the president on war, intel, and diplomacy.

The Democrat’s fundraising platform knowingly and repeatedly ACCEPTED foreign contributions in violation of the LAW. Is it any wonder all TEN ActBlue employees pled the Fifth? Democrats broke the law and they knew it. Republicans are exposing the truth, securing our elections, and making it harder to CHEAT. The brilliant work of @JudiciaryGOP, @HouseAdmin, and @GOPOversight has EXPOSED ActBlue’s disgraceful conduct.
MORE FRAUD AT ACTBLUE: New information produced to @JudiciaryGOP, @HouseAdmin, and @GOPOversight shows just how unserious ActBlue’s fraud-prevention practices are.  Accepting foreign donations in U.S. elections is ILLEGAL. ActBlue knows this, but repeatedly instructed its fraud prevention analysts to IGNORE red flags and “give the donor the benefit of the doubt” about contributions with foreign indicators. American elections belong to American citizens. The Committees will not stop pursuing the facts and working to make sure that our elections are only decided by Americans.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM: This is a well written and thought out article written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve... My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

We need to stop placing all the blame on foreign wars for causing our high fuel prices. We have record high crude oil supplies but our refining capacity is basically tapped out, it is running at 97%. The problem is with having too many low IQ government officials with zero long term foresight, stupid thinking like the green new climate hoax scam, overregulation and not adding new refining facilities. Total U.S. operable refining capacity rose from about 17.1 million barrels per calendar day around 2004–2005 to a peak near 19 million in 2019–2020, then settled around 18.2 million as of early 2026. That’s a net gain of roughly one million barrels a day, driven almost entirely by expansions and debottlenecking at existing plants rather than new refineries. The last major greenfield refinery was built in the 1970s; the newest operating one is a small 45,000-barrel-a-day unit that started in 2022. Diesel-specific downstream capacity followed a similar pattern—up from roughly 4.0 million barrels per stream day in 2004 to about 4.43 million today, with most of the growth in hydrotreating and distillate units. Recent closures of refineries, especially in California, have trimmed refining capacity even more. The overall capacity is still not that much higher than it was twenty years ago.

Bernie Sanders is a lunatic giving cover to our enemies. He demands the head of everyone he opposes. Has his contacts ever been investigated? Is he an operative for any foreign regimes?  I don’t know but he’s never investigated as he would have everyone else investigated.
Sen. Bernie Sanders tells CBS News’ @CHueyBurns he believes “the potential danger of AI is probably greater than nuclear weapons." Asked whether his proposed penalties of up to 20 years in prison for violating a ban on developing artificial superintelligence are comparable to penalties for illegally developing nuclear weapons, Sanders (I-VT) says, “The analogy is appropriate, exactly.”

Did you find the Russian Collusion yet?
SCHIFF tried to put words in Director Patel’s mouth. Patel shut it down: “That’s not what I said.” Then he turned the questioning right back around: “Aren’t you and them the ones still looking for Russia collusion? Did you find Russia collusion?” Schiff immediately tried to move on. Patel wasn’t having it: “I’m allowed to answer the question.” Ask the question. Get the answer.

WHISTLEBLOWER Gail Macrae: "I am a registered nurse with years on the front lines...ZERO patients died FROM COVID. They were KILLED by Remdesivir and ventilators. Hospitals were half-empty the entire time. But the deadly protocols, forced isolation from family, and experimental drugs kept rolling — because every “COVID label” meant massive government bonuses. This wasn’t medicine. This was MURDER FOR MONEY. Patients came in with the flu or pneumonia. They left in body bags after being poisoned and suffocated by hospital policy. I saw it with my own eyes. I watched it happen day after day. Demand justice. Demand the truth. Demand the names of every administrator, doctor, and politician who profited while our loved ones were slaughtered. The COVID hospital scam was one of the greatest crimes in history.

Bernie has had some terrible ideas, but this might go down as the worst. China is waiting for no one. The idea that China would voluntarily slow its AI development down to accommodate the U.S. is dangerously delusional. Don't listen to a guy who probably doesn't even know how to log in to Facebook.

Massie is a scumbag. Always doing the Democrats’ work. The War Powers Act violates the Constitution.  Congress can declare war but it does not make war, which was specifically denied it by the framers.  POTUS and SecWar are doing exactly what every past president and SecWar have done.  Massie doesn’t have the votes to cut off funding so he takes this stupid act for headlines.  He’s a lame duck drama queen.
🚨 NOW: Rep. Thomas Massie just filed to IMPEACH SecWar Pete Hegseth on the House floor What a FREAKING JOKE! Massie accuses Hegseth of violating his oath to the Constitution and "abusing" his powers to wage war, and even cites the CAPTURE OF MADURO This is going nowhere. I STAND WITH @PeteHegseth! 🇺🇸 "Impeaching Peter Hegseth...resolved that [Hegseth] is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors." The filing cites the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Massie has filed 8 Impeachment Articles, also mentioning "extrajudicial k*llings" and "suppressing free speech"

Wait. Thomas Massie is still in Congress? He just filed to impeach Pete Hegseth for doing his damn job. I forgot that asshole even existed. As a member of the military I can say Hegseth is the best thing that’s happened to our military in years. Massie can take that impeachment and shove it.

If you cannot even follow the laws of our country, you most certainly should not be making laws in our country. If Ilhan Omar is guilty of immigration fraud, her citizenship should be revoked and she should be deported. She doesn't get a free pass for breaking the law, just because she's won an election.

There are two ways AI progress could go very badly and that we must avoid. First, we could lose control of the future to AI. This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity, and AI must always serve people. To ensure that, we need ways to ensure that alignment and safety techniques stay ahead of progress in model capabilities. Second, we could end up in a world with too much concentration of power. If an extraordinarily powerful AI is used by one person or company to impress their worldview onto everyone else, the results could be extremely dystopian. Avoiding these two threats requires walking a narrow middle path; for example, one country could gain too much power. Another example is one lab ending up with too much power.
The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver on this, and there is no reason any of us should come to work if we cannot. We welcome a federal framework that sets consistent safety requirements for frontier AI. But we do not believe we need to wait for an anti-trust exemption or legislation to begin the work of providing this confidence. Consistent rules to manage frontier risk so that we can maximize the benefits are a good idea (and we are excited by ideas like independent auditors). Years ago, companies like ours developed things like Responsible Scaling Policies and Preparedness Frameworks. Those were good for that moment, and focused primarily on the deployment of completed models, not what happens during their development process. Today's shift to focusing on safe development and evaluation will need new tools. For example, at OpenAI we now formulate explicit safety cases in advance of frontier reinforcement learning runs we expect to significantly increase capability, in addition to the safety work we have long done in advance of model releases. We hope that other companies will learn from our approaches and propose their own; we think shared standards for misalignment, monitoring, and safety will lead to better outcomes. We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues across the industry to formulate the best version of these. When we talk about “pacing”, we do not mean “stopping”. Progress has been rapid and will continue to be. But it should be slower than it otherwise could be; interventions like safety cases and monitoring have significant costs. Pacing will be well worth this cost; no amount of American competitive pressure should justify recklessness, or let capabilities get ahead of alignment and monitoring. Where we will need the help of our government is for international coordination. But first we should do what we can ourselves.
