THERE WILL BE NO CIVIL WAR HERE. SORRY, GUYS, BUT THE LEFT AIN’T GOT IT IF IT EVER DID:  A New Free Europe.

Unfortunately there won’t be a a free Europe is. Look, it would be nice, but you can’t recover for someone else. Even when the someone else is a continent. There might be countries that pop free here and there. But Europe as a whole? There’s so much to recover from, and so much pride to swallow there.

THE CRITICAL DRINKER: The Golden Globes Happened, I Guess…

Back in 2010, when the gulf between reality and what the legacy media was reporting was too big to ignore, I wrote, “A few years ago, the news industry built a mausoleum of their own — remember the Newseum? And that’s not the only place where they’ve entombed themselves. Their news product, particularly on TV, is essentially a closed-circuit system designed to assuage the ruling class. That you and I can choose to also watch is merely a byproduct.”

But that’s the news. I’d call the material released by Hollywood the industry’s own closed-circuit system, but I doubt the people who make this material are actually sitting down to enjoy it themselves. Who is consuming Hollywood’s “entertainment” product these days?

QED:

Ouch! The premier was free and flopped.

This is their own fault. And the sad part is they will never admit why it failed, because it would be “problematic” to discuss the truth.

REDNECK NATION:

That’s right. States don’t get to decide which federal laws apply to them. We settled that question decades ago, at great cost, and the answer hasn’t changed.

NOTHING IS SAFE: Quantum computing promises extraordinary power, but that same power may expose new security weaknesses. “Published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the study argues that protecting quantum computers will require more than software safeguards, emphasizing the importance of securing the underlying hardware as well.”

This is, of course, true for existing systems too.

THOMAS SOWELL: My Experience With Artificial Intelligence.

Another target of this particular AI fraud is military historian Victor Davis Hanson. In addition to his profound scholarly writings on military history, Prof. Hanson has also spoken out strongly on many current and controversial issues.

Apparently those who do not agree with him cannot argue effectively against what he said. So they use AI to make him seem to be saying something different.

Political or ideological reasons for creating fraudulent imitations of people on the internet are not the only reasons. Some of the creators of these deceptive imitations have things to sell or donations to seek. These are the easiest imitations to tell are not mine.

My own website—FactsAgainstRhetoric.org—sells nothing and asks for no donations. It contains not only things that I have actually said, but also a great many things that others have said—on subjects ranging from affirmative action to medical issues, education issues and geographic influences.

This is a website set up in hopes of helping young people get an education, despite being in college.

Heh, indeed. Read the whole thing.™

AIRPORT PIRATES:

Okay @DataRepublican, and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport.

According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport.

That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep…

Here’s the interesting bit:

WHY Minneapolis?

Well, after some quick discussing with regular travelers of the MN airports.

The Somalis run the airport.
They’re the ground crews.
They’re the airport staff.
They’re friggin TSA.

We have an airport in the United States of America run by pirates.

The Minneapolis airport needs to be completely shut down until we can figure out what in the hell is going on.
