NHL quietly protesting Pride month; tranny invades sorority; DOJ memo shows why nobody got arrested for Supreme Court insurrection; AI woes; myocarditis study moves the needle; and more.
I do not have the optimism that Jeff has about our ability to handle continued AI development. Actually, I don't think the world is a better place as a result of the internet and hand-held phones. I am so thankful that I did not grow up with the specter of social media following me when I was a preteen and young adult, and I'm very glad that I raised my kids and founded a homeschooling group without the benefit of the internet. I think that what we have lost is orders of magnitude greater than what we have gained.
Jeff. What about this Bill? S 686? Was supposed to be about Tic Toc.. A whole lot worse! Censors all. Goverment only approved Internet Content!? I've read through this. It can and will criminalize anyone and everyone with no judicial oversight. It is basically an internet communications bill. Bi partisan support. It criminalizes free speech.
āEarlier this month, Old Lady Garland told Senators that his prosecutors couldnāt bring cases unless the marshals made arrests, and the marshals on the scene ādidnāt thinkā there was a reason to do that. Now we know why. Thatās what they were told.ā
If this doesnāt make the Court Justices irate nothing will. We are hostage to a country with evil, deeply ingrained, and lawlessness.
I appreciate the hockey guys using religous reasons to avoid the gay mafia. But how about just pure morality - that gayness is a degenerate and disgusting form of relationships, and self destructive in general. It's time we all put our foot down on this madness.
Helpful reminder of the science. The mouth and anus are, respectively, the starting and end point of the digestive tract--the alimentary canal. They are not sex organs. There is nothing to be "proud" about misusing them.
I'm glad that the players/fans for the NHL have started standing up for themselves a bit more than other sports. Maybe the NHL gave them a little more leeway or maybe they just recognize their fanbase really doesn't want to have this stuff pushed on them anymore - they want to watch a game (or a fight - not sure ;) )
I seem to recall that sales for the jersey of the first player to stand up against this resulted in it being sold out within a couple of days. That sends a message pretty loudly when there's something way out of the norm like that. The fans spoke with their dollars to support the player standing up for his faith and that message seems to have been received.
āStill, I have not seen the sororityās contracts and havenāt done the research under Wisconsin law, so weāll see. ā
I am not a lawyer, but I would have thought Wyoming law might be slightly more applicable in this case. š
Also, itās not only Europeans who are paying more for American oil, itās Americans: were all that oil we are sending there to be sold here in the US, our prices would drop. Something about supply and demand that I learned in business school all those years ago. āUkraineā is Europeās problem. Why do WE always end up paying for THEIR screw-ups?
Damar's recovery still amazes me, but also something seems off. A woman named Alexis Pure had a heart attack at an NFL game on 1/7. After 3 minutes of CPR, she was revived. However, she was in a coma for a long time and it was unsure if she would make it. Thank God, she finally woke up, eventually started moving, could finally eat, then take her first steps, and is still in rehab. Her husband Andrew has been posting updates on Twitter and is still asking everyone to pray. She may not have been in the kind of shape an NFL player is in, but she looks young and fairly well fit. How did Damar recover so quickly after 9 minutes of CPR and Alexis still hasn't after nearly 3 months at only 3 minutes of CPR? Sure, everyone's body is different, but it smells off. Please consider a prayer for Alexis. https://twitter.com/AndrewJAPrue/status/1612103829905936385
The whole āpause AIā thing is a head-fake. Itās propaganda designed to make people believe that the machines are thinking. Theyāre not. What they do isnāt even remotely related to thinking. Essentially they regurgitate juggled versions of what theyāve been ātrainedā on. I will stipulate that itās a convincing simulation of thinking, like some drag queens can be convincing simulations of women. But itās not the real thing. Itās still human thought patterns that comprise their output.
Saying we should āpause AIā is like saying we should pause Las Vegas magician shows. Some people can see a magician and think itās āmagicā. Some people can see āAIā and think the machine is intelligent. Theyāre wrong in both cases.
The whole "don't find any problem with protestors" thing w/ the Supreme Court justices should raise the ire of anyone truly seeking justice. It's all well and good if it's for "your cause", but that could easily flip the other way and then the DoJ would be truly weaponized by whoever is in charge at the moment. Just sad that the current admin is much more interested in attacking those who disagree with them than any sort of real justice/following the law. :(
We should stop calling them 'transgenders' but instead 'cross-dressers'. Let's bring that term back.
The fact that States even have to pass laws controlling (prohibiting) sexual mutilation of children says a lot about the state of medicine these days.
For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.
And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up,
Against all the oaks of Bashan,
Against all the lofty mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
Against all the ships of Tarshish
And against all the beautiful craft.
The pride of man will be humbled
And the loftiness of men will be abased;
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
But the idols will completely vanish.
Men will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the ground
Before the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.
ā Isaiah 2:12-19 NASB1995

Dr. Drew doesnāt get it. They arenāt hiding truth to protect us. They are hiding truth to protect themselves!!!!!

Jeff I really like your point about pride from the Bible. Had never thought of it that way but itās an insightful take.

You write a damn good article. I look forward to reading every day. Thank you!
