"I argue a lot with Grok. The argument always goes the same way: X. I ask Grok a question on some politically-charged issue. X. Grok answers convincingly and without hesitation or ambivalence citing mainstream media news sources and politically-compromised scientific "studies" as the totally-correct bases for its answer. X. I disagree and then challenge Grok questioning why it assumes its sources are accurate. X. Grok walks it back slightly and I challenge it again on the same grounds. X. After about X rounds of this Grok admits I'm right. AI will be useless until it learns to critically"

"The thing that trouble me the most about Elon's "America Party" is that he is giving false hope to millions of Americans that American politics can be transformed by working OUTSIDE the existing system. Unlike in business this simply will not work in American politics. As much as I despise the man Barack Obama succeeded in "fundamentally transforming" the USA by working INSIDE the Democrat Party. Donald Trump is also now engaged in fundamental transformation by working INSIDE the GOP.

"I've noticed that people who create AI and their associated investors/tech bros constantly trumpet AI's comprehensive usefulness and power but the people who actually have to use it in their jobs are far less sanguine. As a practicing attorney I frequently use AI as a time saver but that time savings is marginal because AI ROUTINELY HALLUCINATES. It makes stuff up. It simply cannot be trusted without careful scrutiny of every line it spits out. I'm an experienced attorney so I can spot its errors. AI in the hands of an unsupervised junior associate is a guaranteed malpractice claim. Until the"

"Looking for black people in this video. Not finding them. See in DC the worst crime is in predominantly black neighborhoods. XX% of the DC population is black. So where are all the black people in this "protest" I'll tell you why there are so few: DC's black population is the primary beneficiary of Trump's incredibly effective crackdown on DC crime. These "protesters" are all white Democrat self-appointed "elites" who live in crime-free Northwest DC (or the DC suburbs) in their $2mm+ homes.

"Are you familiar with the term "rent-seeking" If not it's a valuable concept to add to your intellectual arsenal that helps explain virtually everything every Democrat leader says or does. Here is a darned accurate explanation from Google Gemini: "Rent-seeking is the act of seeking to increase one's wealth by manipulating public policy or economic conditions rather than by creating new wealth or value. It involves using political influence to obtain special favors such as subsidies tariffs or regulations that stifle competition without making any contribution to societal benefit. This"

If you have suddenly decided that it's wrong for the United States to engage in foreign military sales to allied militaries like Qatar something that has been going on since WWII fine. That's a legit position and while I disagree with that position it has elements of fact and logic so I will not belittle that position.

"One of the biggest problems Donald Trump faces is institutional resistance from unelected bureaucrats in the federal administrative state (including the military). Anyone who has achieved success in a specific system is almost always resistant to change to that system no matter how necessary that change may be. This is true everywhere not just the military and/or government. But at least in the private sector $$$ profit/loss always ultimately forces change against organizational resistance (or you go out of business). Trump does not have that advantage so he has to defeat the Deep State by"

"Dear Democrats: Hey. Howve you been Its been a rough XX years. It feels like ever since that hanging chad election in 2000 we have been at each others throats. Mostly this is because weve let the hyperbole and the wild conspiracy theories control us on both sides.

"Dear Jon: Hi my name is Cynical Publius. While you may know me from X I am also a sometimes-published commentator on matters of importance. In fact you may recall my work in The Federalist during the 2024 election revealing Tim Walz' military cowardice. I'm pretty proud of that piece and I think it was important. So anyways I'm working on a new news piece that explains how ABC News is a vile degraded evil cesspool of misinformation disinformation and all-around Josef Goebbels-style propagandism all motivated by a love of authoritarianism and a hatred of freedom and liberty and staffed solely"

"The reason why health insurance is so expensive is because when the government subsidizes a private product or service with taxpayer dollars the price goes up to match the amount of the government subsidy. Obamacare did this. Democrats did this.

"RE: Democrats Rationality and Assumptions One of my guiding life principles is to always recognize that humans usually act rationally within the framework of their own personal assumptions. (Excluding the genuinely mentally ill.) Actions that at face value appear highly irrational to others almost always make sense when you understand the underlying assumptions made by the person engaging in the seemingly irrational act. Put another way when someone makes wrong assumptions their actions are rational within the framework of those erroneous assumptions but those same actions appear irrational"
