Yeah, the usual suspects are howling that a peace deal regarding the war in Ukraine may be feasible. Unbelievable things are being said about it. It was compared to the appeasement of Neville Chamberlain to Adolf Hitler just prior to World War II. That one came from Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, and it borders on hysteria. What's the hysteria about? Ending a war? Shouldn't the Democrats be pleased as punch that there could be an end to a war?

Evidently the Dems only like wars that kill white folks. They only get mad about war in which the non-white folks are doing most of the dying. Trouble is, the non-white folks outnumber the white folks in the world. If there's any war at all in the world, it is probably going to be in a country where most people aren't white. But communists do not know color barriers. White and non-white Communist regimes have existed. 

The Muslims would really like a nuclear-war between the USA and Russia.  Evidently, the Dems would too.  More and more of them are voting commie-jihadists like Mamdami into power.  With all that going for them, how can the Dems lose the mid-terms next year? /sarc

After four years of house prices doubling (and in some areas, tripling) many young people feel priced out of the American Dream of homeownership. A welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota reveals that large numbers of new arrivals aren't assimilating and are funneling our tax dollars…

Media propaganda is a problem

Quantum computing with photonics

Below is an embedded video that sort of explains the concept. There was a development in single photon switches mentioned at Insty--here's where the link goes.

The point being that super-intelligence may not be that far off. Quantum computers can solve problems that conventional computers cannot solve, or would take eons to compute an answer.

Not saying that this is necessarily good, but probably necessarily likely. Of course, the country could slide into backwardness, and this vision may never be attained.

I'm shocked

'You means to tell me that the reports was worthless?'  (adapted the line from Pop-Eye the Sailor) Just replace "reports" with "diamonds" in order to get the Pop-Eye quote.

It's nice to know that I'm right so often. None of this had any credibility, right from the start. So who was it that actually believed the jihadists? You'd have to be an enemy to believe it, or hostile in the first place.

The people who would believe are leftists. The people putting the propaganda are either leftists, or jihadists. These aren't nice people. Why believe them? They do not wish Americans well, nor Israelis. So the idea is to split America from Israel. I'd be very suspicious about that one. It's just too handy for them. In the meantime, they continue to flood into our state and our country.

Where and how this ends is anybody's guess. So I guess I can take the sarcasm tag down---/sarc.

It's a long video, so here is sort of a summary. Three products (that I didn't quite catch--time constraints) :

1. Robotics
2. AI
3. How to power them: Space Solar

Something of an addendum here. Musk talks about the future with regards to these developments. The future he talks about involves something I once mentioned. It has to do with radical abundance.

He didn't use those terms exactly, but radical abundance means that prices will come down. But there's a catch: the catch is that civilization has to keep advancing. Civilizations don't always advance, in fact, they have life-cycles. If this country hasn't entered a permanent decline, then the outcome will be radical abundance.

The reason that I'm so hard on communism is that radical abundance won't come from the direction of China. Never mind what China may be doing with AI, energy, and robotics. That kind of future is not a happy one. The kind we should want-- is if the machines and the state remains under control---as opposed to the people. That fortunate kind of future is not one that will occur in China, but could occur here if we don't screw it up--and lose our freedom.

MTG's new found "respect" is like beauty, only "skin-deep"

The source of the respect, the Democrats commies, are ugly to the bone.  Two problems 1) the RINO faction loves to suck up to Democrats, just like MTG just did, and 2) the less radical commie group doesn't resist the radicalized elements of their party enough.  Either way, MTG's fault is not being sufficiently loyal to the "boss" of MAGA.  And she's not the boss.

Was I a bit too rough on the lady? Maybe. Just remember one thing... In life, it doesn't matter how many good things you do, if you go flipping around and go to the bad side. An historical example: Benedict Arnold was close to General George Washington, but he betrayed the General at a critical time in the American Revolutionary War. This may have helped Arnold in the short run, but his name lives in infamy for his betrayal.  Maybe he has some kindred spirits in the modern Democrat Party, eh?

Even the Brits didn't like Benedict Arnold. Does MTG think the Democrats love her now that she's turned on Trump? They only want to use her, just like the Brits wanted to use Benedict Arnold.

MTG has made some mistakes. She might be able to turn it around, but if she won't mend fences with Trump, she'll going to go down. I know one thing, I won't ever support her after this...   She's not reliable.

So MTG decides to quit when the going got a little rough for her. Well, boo-hoo baby. She reminds me of Sarah Palin in this episode. Those who follow politics may remember that Sarah Palin was attacked mercilessly by the Democrats and their henchmen in the legacy media. Remember the Kay Couric mean-girl episode?

Anyway, it didn't end with the election defeat in the 2008 election. She was still governor in Alaska, and the leftards kept right after her. What did she do? She QUIT! So, the point here is that Donald Trump DOES NOT QUIT.

For Cripes Sake! The dude has endured an unsuccessful assassination attempt, two phony assed impeachments based upon highly questionable , and frankly fraudulent accusations, constant harassment and opposition for doing nothing but to turn around the very things that MTG starts out with in this litany of complaints in the video at the link. The appropriate response is to defer to the boss, who is Trump. But in typical feminist fashion, she tried to take over the movement, and it failed. Now she quits. Well, boo-freaking-who baby doll! Grow some spine.

Is this a war of the sexes thing? What else could it be but that? She goes on The View for cripes sake. Now it is time for her to play the hurt woman routine, go home to mommy, and have a good cry --- little girl. You cannot be a leader if you quit when times get rough.

So the feminist way is to play hurt girl when the rough and tumble politics gets too rough--and she quits. Now all the women are supposed to get really mad about the bully Trump. Well, politics ain't bean bag honey. There's a country to run, and she cannot go home to mommy when things get a little too rough for her.

What should she have done? Just suck it up, and go against Trump in the primaries. Trump doesn't always have to win his point, but that shouldn't be a disaster even if it does happen--he didn't resign over the phony Epstein file issue. She's not helping MAGA, she is just doing a drama queen performance and drawing attention to herself.

So go home and have a good cry, baby doll. We need fighters, not quitters. There's a country to save from the commies and the jihadists. The thing not to do is to join the feminists, jihadists, and commies who want to sink their claws into our country. If that happens, America is done. We need a fighter like Trump who doesn't walk out when the going gets tough.  She didn't learn anything from Palin, who quit and never recovered.  But Trump DID.  That's why he's boss, and YOUR NOT.

2:55 PM: 

Can you imagine the reaction to the above comment of mine? There hasn't been much of one, so I pretty much have to guess. So here goes with the guess.

It is not "gentlemanly" of me to refer to her in that way. Sure, but isn't that the point of feminism? The point is promote women, because the traditional roles of women has been to have women defer to men. So it is rather patriarchal of ANY man to say anything of the "special" little darlings who have had their "feewings" hurt. Women who want to play the rough game of politics can always fall back on their femininity to shield them from the rigors of competition with men. For a traditional male to be ungentlemanly is seen as bad form. But the women are only taking advantage of that. Basically, that what feminism is all about.

Left-wing politics need victims, and women have "always" been victims of the boys, you see.

If MTG was really honest about MAGA, would she really be trying to undercut Trump like this? Trump isn't being nicey-nice, so what of it? Does she really deserve to get easy treatment? It's politics, and if it is to be equally applied, she has to handle it "like a man". But she doesn't. Not to worry, though. The culture has been so bastardized, that the men don't know how to act either. As one would expect, traditional women don't like it. Truth be told, no woman likes it. But it is the turf MTG stepped on. A man who acted that way will receive the usual Trump treatment. Why should she expect anything different?  It's because she's a girl.
