PROGRESSIVE WOMEN ARE DANGERS TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS:

2026, MAN: Fed Up With Flock. “If you’d asked me last year to guess what issues might be concerning the body politic in a midterm year, I might have answered ‘inflation, jobs growth, social justice madness, housing costs, and the Iran war.’ Not on my bingo card: Women cheering on a mother who confessed to killing her three children and the public uniting against Flock cameras, yet here we are.”

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS? ‘F**k you..hurry up and die’: Swing-seat Democratic House candidate’s deleted tweets show far-left record.

William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee in one of the country’s most competitive House races in Michigan, deleted hundreds of old social media posts in which he embraced police and prison abolition, called for nationalizing fossil-fuel companies to end their production, attacked moderate Democrats and argued for a “fundamental overhaul” of the Constitution.

Other deleted posts show Lawrence writing “f**k” the nuclear-family home and calling it an “isolating, individualistic, violent way of organizing society,” envisioning “a world of free and open migration,” and calling to “Abolish the Senate.”

Lawrence even wrote a song inspired by moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin’s resistance to Democrats’ climate agenda: “Our generation says f**k you for everything,” Lawrence wrote in lyrics he posted in December 2021. “Hurry up and die so that we can get started.”

Now of course he claims he was just “thinking out loud” on the internet.

COLD WAR II IS FOUGHT IN REALMS THAT DIDN’T EVEN EXIST DURING COLD WAR I: Open-Weight Diplomacy: How China’s AI Models Are Rerunning the Digital Silk Road.

China’s open-weight AI models are sparking debates that echo the concerns the telecom buildout raised: How does the majority world access an indispensable technology without surrendering sovereignty, or in other words, without trading access today for dependency tomorrow?

China’s playbook appears virtually identical to its telecom strategy. Its AI buildout involves many of the same companies, the same countries, and the same vocabulary as its broadband strategy. And open weights play the role subsidized equipment once did: They are the keystone to an indispensable new technology that one country can provide to another virtually for free to get a foot in the door, but they are also useless without the intricate, interconnected stack of other components that, conveniently, are far more expensive.

“THE HIT JOB WAS ON THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE. REAGAN WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE”:

Takeaway: “It’s time for a dissolution of the monasteries.”

NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION, 21ST CENTURY EDITION: Ukraine Puts AI-Guided Machine-Gun Turret on Helicopter to Hunt Russian Shaheds.

What makes the Khyzhak particularly versatile is its modular architecture.

The system can be fitted to unmanned ground vehicles, installed in fixed defensive positions, mounted on conventional vehicles or integrated with maritime platforms. The version shown in the latest footage represents an airborne adaptation of the same basic concept.

The module also incorporates artificial intelligence-assisted target recognition and tracking.

As always, I have this one question: When can I get one for the hood of my car?

BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT SOME RANDO ON X TOLD ME:

COME SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: ‘Molotov Cocktails for MAGA’ Threat Lands Michigan Man in Jail for 86 More Days. “According to police, the threats included a reference to using ‘Molotov cocktails for MAGA,’ eradicating Republicans and their donors and killing people working at the Oakland County GOP office. He also allegedly threatened to ‘put a bullet’ in the skull of Michigan GOP Youth Vice Chairman Krish Mathrani.”

NICE WORK, FELLAS:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Much to the Chagrin of Leftists, Justice Is Still Served With ICE. “Because the Democrats and their evil little offshoot minions are so vehemently anti-law enforcement, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to frequently praise those who put their lives on the line to keep others safe.”

CCP TOOLS: Sanders, Casar Bill Would Ban Superintelligence, Pause Frontier AI. “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, a bill that would permanently prohibit development and deployment of superintelligent AI, pause advanced AI research until a federal regulator sets safety rules, and stand up a cabinet-level AI oversight agency. Individuals who violate the ban would face up to 20 years in prison. Corporate entities would face what the press release from Sanders’s office calls the ‘corporate death penalty,’ penalties the sponsors compare to those for unlawfully developing nuclear weapons.”

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD:

ALMOST? 15 colleges now cost $100K+ per year — and almost none of them are worth it.

Fifteen higher ed institutions cracked the six-figure pricetag this year, up from a just two the previous year, according to an analysis from the the Washington Post.

The most expensive schools in the US are:

Harvey Mudd College, Calif. — $104,512
Duke University, NC — $103,975
University of Chicago, Ill. — $103,821
University of Southern California, Calif. — $103,162
Barnard College, NY — $103,000
Washington University, Mo. — $102,260
Smith College, Mass. — $102,226
Fordham University, NY — $102,188
Claremont McKenna College, Calif. — $101,990
Vassar College, NY — $101,051
Wesleyan University, Conn. — $101,030
New York University, NY — $100,998
Georgetown University, DC — $100,864
Colgate University, NY — $100,224
Haverford College, Penn. — $100,026

Ivy League schools Brown, Columbia and Cornell were close behind, each charging just under $100,000 per year.

Despite those huge prices, separate statistics raised questions about what the money is buying — none of the 15 most expensive schools appeared equally high in college rankings of the best returns on investment.

Insane.

UMM…:

HMM:

I missed this Politico item from Wednesday: White House pushes companies to ditch Macron’s space summit. “The Office of Science and Technology Policy official on the call told industry representatives that France did not coordinate with the U.S. on the summit, accused the country of “anti-competitive practices,” and suggested the event’s panels were not designed to include the American perspective and may diminish U.S. industry efforts, according to the people.”

HIRE SECURITY FOR YOUR SECURITY, ELON:

Related thoughts from Spencer Pratt: “Commies call you ‘dangerous’ so they can kill you. Every DSA candidate has a 2:1 fundraising advantage over their anti-communist opponent, because we have to spend half our funds on 24/7 campaign security & they don’t cuz communists are violent murderous animals and we aren’t.”
