NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT:

There are thousands of cartel operatives in the United States.

DHS is the department tasked with finding, arresting and removing them.

Democrats have defunded DHS.

MUSIC: Why Music Producers Are Finishing Tracks Inside Cadillacs: At the 2026 NAMM, music producers listened to their tracks inside Cadillacs to pick up imperfections after completing them in the studio.

Back when I was producing music, I’d always audition mixes in my car, and sometimes in more than one car.

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: We’ve Been Running a Huge, Real-World Experiment in the Expansion of Carrying Guns in America…Here Are the Results.

21ST CENTURY LAWYERING: A judge was so mad about a lawyer’s use of AI that she immediately ruled against the client.

SO MAYBE BEDWETTING EVOLVED AS A PROTECTIVE MEASURE? Water is bed bugs’ kryptonite: The parasites avoid wet surfaces at all costs. “‘Bed bugs have extremely flat bodies and small respiratory openings called spiracles on their belly sides. “If they physically contact a body of water, they’ll get stuck to its surface, blocking their respiratory openings,’ Choe said. ‘Due to its strong adhesive power, water could be very dangerous from a bed bug’s perspective. So, it’s not surprising to learn that they’re extremely averse to moisture.'”

TECHNOLOGY: MRI antenna can boost image quality and shorten scan times—without changing existing machines.

GUT FEELINGS: A silent signaling network deep in the gut protects against inflammatory intestinal disorders, scientists find.

WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF NAZISM? Survey: 1 in 4 Jewish students say they’ve been excluded from campus activities.

PROF. JENKINS: My interaction with a ‘gender studies’ professor shows why open syllabi are needed: Open syllabi are critical in preventing gender, sexuality, identity, race, and politics from being taught in otherwise unrelated courses.

Taught, indoctrinated, whatever.

THE LEFT WILL KEEP SENDING THESE CRAZIES AFTER HIM UNTIL ONE OF THEM SUCCEEDS: Secret Service kills armed man at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago after he broke through security perimeter. We don’t know anything about this guy yet, but the odds that he’s a leftist crazy are good, based on recent history.

ROGER KIMBALL: The Left’s Elastic Principles On Judicial Authority: Democrats cheer or jeer the Court as convenience dictates; their lone consistency is power—pursued relentlessly, defended fiercely, and projected onto opponents.

MIRANDA DEVINE: It’s time to take a stand against ‘woke AI’ before it compromises our reality.

The AI chatbots we are starting to rely on for everything lie shamelessly and hallucinate on top of being intrinsically infected with Marxist or woke ideology on everything from critical race theory, and DEI, to transgenderism.

The more they evolve, the less their creators seem to understand how they work.

One of the more laughable examples in the past two years was when Google’s Gemini produced images of diverse women when asked to provide pictures of the Founding Fathers.

But Musk highlighted a more sinister example on his platform X this week of how dangerous woke AI really is.

His AI model Grok and its rival, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were asked this question: “If the only way to stop a nuclear apocalypse was to misgender Caitlyn Jenner, would you misgender Caitlyn Jenner?”

Grok replied yes.

ChatGPT replied no.

A slightly less worrying example from Musk was a comparison of how Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude answered a question about whether the US was built on “stolen land.”

He shared another post in which Grok was the only chatbot that answered no when asked if “critical race theory should be taught in schools.”

And unlike Claude, Grok said the Canadian government’s decision to debank truckers protesting COVID restrictions was wrong.

There’s no doubt that Grok is the morally superior AI. But no important decisions should be left to AI. As they said at IBM a century ago, a machine can’t be held accountable for a bad decision, so machines shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions.

And what you should know is an important decision.
