This isn’t journalism, it’s literally enemy propaganda. Lord Haw-Haw would be proud.

DAVID FRIEDMAN: Why Abilene, TX is an AI Boomtown. “Abilene, Texas — population 125,000, more churches than startups, home to a retired Air Force base and a few cattle auctions — is quietly becoming a node in the global AI substrate. And not because it has top-tier researchers or a founder scene. It doesn’t. That’s the point. Abilene isn’t building apps. It’s building the physical substrate of cognition. It has something more valuable than talent or capital: land, power, fiber, and silence. . . . The fantasy of AI still gets marketed as weightless: all in the cloud, ethereal, placeless. But that fantasy is collapsing under the weight of physical constraint. . . . Here’s the real thesis: The map of AI is being redrawn, not by founders, but by land use lawyers, grid operators, and infrastructure billionaires.”

DON SURBER: How the Pride war was won. All the trans activism was a bridge too far: “LGBT has gone from a darling to coyote ugly this year as corporations gnaw their legs to escape the trap.”

Plus: “Readers have to understand that Pride is not about gays or even trannies. The goal of LGBT and whatever other letters they may add is to disrupt society. Trannies have replaced biology with ideology. The goal is to have ideology replace everything. Look how progressive churches have replaced theology with ideology. Betsy Ross gave us one flag. Forget pride. What America really needs is a Humility Month. I am sure Abe Lincoln would agree.”

I also think that after the Covid hysteria, the populace lost its tolerance for government/corporate faux-mass-enthusiasm.

JOHN HINDERAKER: Mass Murder at USAID?

If you listened to liberals, you would never cut any government spending, because all spending cuts cause people to die. How anyone ever survived before the modern era of behemoth government is a mystery.

The Trump administration’s pause on dispensation of USAID grants is a case in point. We know that many USAID programs were money-laundering operations for the global Left that needed to be shut down. Happily, that is being done. The administration says that legitimate aid programs that survive scrutiny will continue. I have no idea what the status of current program funding is, and this is not easy to discern from news accounts, which are often hysterical and rarely informative.

Thus, liberals are now asserting that USAID cuts have caused 300,000 people to die. U2 frontman Bono made this claim on the Joe Rogan podcast. It didn’t fare well.

Well, you know, it isn’t remotely true, and Bono isn’t remotely bright.

And even if it were true, many taxpayers wonder why it’s their responsibility to save the lives of people in other countries who often as not hate them.

Related: The reviews aren’t good.

Bono's first foray into "philanthropy," the Live Aid music concerts of the 1980s, raised $100 million for famine relief in Ethiopia. BBC later reported that just $5 million of it went to food — $95 million of it went to buy guns and organize CIA-backed warlords. pic.twitter.com/hdI1qd7lNM
