"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"

"USAA has become garbage. XX years of membership and they are garbage. A few years back I had a small amount of water damage that I claimed and the amount they paid me was far less than the increase in my premiums over the next five years as a direct result of that claim--try a 10x premium increase over the value of the claim payment. I now have some new water damage. I called USAA to determine if it was covered under my policy. I told them I do not wish to make a claim I just want to know if it is covered so I can determine whether or not to make a claim. The mere act of making a claim"

"In politics if you hand the other side a win because your side is not giving you XXX% of what you want you actually are working for the other side. Politics is the art of compromise. You get what you can and keep things moving in an iterative manner in the direction you want. THIS IS HOW YOU ACHIEVE DESIRED CHANGE. Iterative change is the ONLY WAY to achieve desired change. There is no other method. This is how politics work and it will never change. EVER. So when narcissistic GOP showmen like Thomas Massie virtue signal by demanding total change immediately (rather than iterative change over"

"There once was a time in America where being a federal civil servant truly was a sacrifice. You knew you were making less than you could in the private sector but you felt a duty to your country anyway. This sort of selfless attitude was a great source of pride to such government workers. They were doing something bigger than themselves. But enough about the 1960s. In 2025 the most secure and profitable career a person can have is as a federal civil servant: -Salaries are routinely higher than the median incomes of non-government employees in similar jobs and include regional cost of living"

"Some of you may remember back in the day when at the supermarket checkout line there would be these sensationalistic tabloids for sale with the most outrageous headlines and stories. ("Batboy" anyone) The National Enquirer was the most well known of the genre and while it did occasionally break really important stories that were true it was mostly wrong in everything else it published. So basically these tabloids had the following strategy: X. Get your product where everybody sees it. X. Put out incredibly sensationalistic exploitive headlines to attract sales to the gullible and the curious."

"A lot of people are tossing around the word "treason." I am too because it's a powerful word but I mean it in its non-legal sense. However if you want to discuss "treason" as a legal term under the Constitution or other federal law it necessarily involves aiding a wartime enemy of the U.S. Sorry folks that's a fact. For clarity going forward when I am not specifically talking about U.S. law I will use the term "treason (as commonly understood)."

"One of Gulali's guys pointed his AK at a returning US patrol. The Bde Cdr nicely asked Gulali to make sure his guys didn't do that again so we would not have a fratricide incident. Gulali said "yes." Then Gulali killed that guy and hung his body from a bridge for a week.

"RE: DeepStateGate & Federal Criminal Law So a lot of my followers have been asking me to explain what Tulsi Gabbard's reveal yesterday means as a practical matter i.e. what can actually be done about it in the courts Well while I am a lawyer Im not a litigator and Im not well versed in criminal law so Im probably not the right guy to ask.
