Get Ready for the AI Whiplash

Townhall 

At the last show of a U.S. tour for the Sex Pistols, lead singer Johnny Rotten famously asked the audience, “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?” The band was in the middle of self-destructing, as all good punk bands did, but the question loomed larger than the event and echoes throughout much of life today. Nowhere does it resonate more than in politics, where everything seems calculated, and you’re left wondering if these people actually believe in anything they espouse. The issue that comes to mind the most at the moment is artificial intelligence (AI).

There isn’t a candidate running who doesn’t have some opinion on the idea of AI — it’s either great or going to kill us all. Unfortunately, the “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE” crowd is the loudest and has gained the most traction. It’s really easy to scare the hell out of voters, and it’s very effective. But is it real?

I don’t believe for a second that most of these people genuinely fear Skynet wiping out all of humanity, or they wouldn’t wait until after an election to do anything about it. So, after the election, no matter who wins, you need to be prepared for the inevitable whiplash on AI, where everyone who swore we needed to “pump the brakes” or “stop the research” suddenly does…nothing. Either that, or they do things that end up empowering the already existing AI companies — that just so happen to be massively left-wing in policy and staff — and nothing else.

The most important issues in an election have a miraculous way of fading into the wallpaper after voters have their say. Remember the Green New Deal? While some of it was pushed through during the Biden administration — mostly the subsidies to liberal organizations and subsidies to left-wing causes — no one really even talks about it anymore. We were all about to die because of capitalism and the internal combustion engine; now even little Greta “Dutch Boy Haircut” Turdburglar spends her time whining about Jews and not the climate. What’s the point in “saving” your Palestinian pets if the world is just going to end in a couple of years?

Climate change worked for a while, then it didn’t. People noticed the 40 years of 5- and 10-year predictions of doom and gloom that never came to pass, and the filthy rich activists buying waterfront property while claiming sea level rise would wipe out these very same plots of land, and questioned their sincerity.

Now it’s AI that will kill us all. But will it?

If you were working on something and came to the realization that, if completed, it would quite possibly wipe out humanity, would you stop working or keep working while demanding someone in government stop you? It sounds absurd to even ask, but we have to ask because that’s where we are now with AI.

If these companies, worth trillions and standing to make trillions more, really think they’re seriously risking the existence of all life, wouldn’t they at least slow down? I hear stories of “billionaires building bunkers” to hide in when the Terminators start wiping everyone out, but I’d ask you a simple question: Would you create something that would make you rich beyond your wildest dreams and needs, but at the cost of living underground and eating canned goods with a group of people of your choosing? It sounds stupid to even ask, but I have to because that’s what people are saying.

Ironically, to the extent that bunkers are real, they are being built to protect rich liberals from liberal mobs who seek to seize their wealth and/or murder them, as bloodthirsty leftists always seem to do. Just like they’re creating AI they claim will kill us all, they’re funding political movements that, if successful, have a better chance of leading to their own demise than Skynet wiping us all out.

But none of this is real, and it will all fade after the election, no matter which way it goes. If these people actually believed it, they would talk of nothing else — what would be the point of anything else if we’re all dead?

The most logical explanation is what Chamath Palihapitiya posited: “So this has nothing to do with prosperity. This is a very simple political calculus. If you freeze frame the economy the way it is today, a handful of organizations that will disproportionately be able to affect the Democrats will win, they will capture the lion's share of the economic gains. And then they will help the Democrats win power. That's all this is.”

They’re all liberal, he says, and they will “fear” the public into supporting their absolute control of the next big thing, which will permanently fund the Left’s political activities against everyone else.

None of this is by accident. And only the particularly dumb politicians actually believe any of this. After the election, expect them all to return to occasional lip service on the issue and propose a regulatory scheme that will not prevent anything but competition for those huge AI companies. The whiplash will be fast, and it will be hard and can only be prevented by voting for solid, sane conservatives in the fall. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Little Annoyances Add Up to Societal Decline

Townhall 

With the midterms coming up, there’s plenty to complain about, mostly stupid people saying stupid things, doing stupid things, and generally being stupid about politics. But one of the problems with society is that stupid people are being stupid about a lot of things beyond mere politics, and we need to complain about those too. This isn’t just old guys shouting at clouds. This is a little deeper, a little more basic. Sure, the big things matter. But it’s the little things that impact our lives every day, and when a critical mass of annoying little things builds up, you get an explosion of awfulness. We’re living in one.

Now, some of it is the fault of foreigners, people coming here who don’t know how to behave like Americans should, and we’re solving that problem by sending a lot of them home. For the ones who stay, we can solve more of it by refusing to endorse or tolerate their nonconformity. It’s not too much to expect that if a stranger comes to our country, even legally, he behave in accordance with our cultural norms. You know, stuff like not being annoying in public and not molesting either our women or livestock.

But it’s not just foreigners. I wish it were. Sadly, our own people are doing many of the things that make this country so annoying. It’s Americans who seem to have forgotten the basic cultural norms that make for a high-trust society, a society where we’re not constantly dealing with little problems and can focus on things like putting men on the moon. Our society shouldn’t be chaotic. Our society shouldn’t be tolerant of low standards, whether in behavior, products, or anything else.

Things like people who don’t understand that headphones exist. When you’re having a phone conversation, you should probably not do it in public if you can avoid it. If you can’t avoid it, put the phone against your ear or use headphones, and do it quietly instead of blasting it on speaker so your inane conversation can dominate the public space. This is especially true in a small public area, like a bus or a waiting room. Nobody wants to hear your phone call. Nobody wants to hear your YouTube video. Put your headphones on. That’s what they’re for. My favorite part is when you tell people, “Hey, you need to stop playing your videos loud,” and they look at you like you’re the idiot. You’re not the idiot. They are the idiot. And an idiot should hear that he’s an idiot. That will make for fewer idiots.

And you should think about what you’re doing when you’re living your life. You shouldn’t wander through public interactions half-asleep and turn them into a sloppy mess. My favorite example is halfwits boarding an aircraft. It’s not hard. You get on with a reasonable bag instead of a steamer trunk, make your way to your seat, put the bag overhead, and sit down. This is not the time to be guzzling a cup of coffee. It’s not the time to be having a phone conversation, even with headphones. It’s a couple of minutes when you should focus on doing one task quickly and efficiently. When you sit down, that’s the time to sip your half-caf, half-latte venti Americano. Then you can quietly make your phone call, with the phone pressed against your ear or through headphones, voice low, so we don’t have to hear your stupid conversation. And it’s always a stupid conversation. People having smart, interesting conversations don’t have them out loud.

Is it just me, or are people becoming worse drivers? I come from the land of the greatest drivers on Earth. Los Angeles drivers are absolutely the best. They will let you in, they understand how to move in traffic, and they tend to use turn signals, unless they’re foreigners who consider the flashing lights the manifestation of one of their many bizarre local gods. I like Texans. They are the nicest people on Earth in person, but you put them behind the wheel and they become outright demonic. They’re not as bad as drivers in Boston, but they’re bad. For some reason, people in giant pickup trucks feel exempt from the whole turn-signal thing. They also take it personally when you want to change lanes, as if it’s a game of dominance they must win by blocking you from the lane you need for your exit. Perhaps they see my use of a turn signal as a sign of weakness, chum in the water for freeway sharks in a feeding frenzy of bad driving.

Big business is screwing up too. We need to rage against corporate societal encrapification (there’s a non-FCC compliant term for it, but I’ll go with this). Products and services are constantly becoming crappier. Stuff that once worked doesn’t work anymore. Remember that avocado-green refrigerator your mom had in the kitchen back in the ’70s? It’s still running in a garage somewhere, cooling some guy’s Budweisers. How long do you think the one you just bought is going to last? After the sixth or seventh failure of the high-tech washing machine we inherited in California, we went out and bought what we thought was just a normal washing machine. That was about three years ago. Today, it’s rusted. What the heck?

And here’s another mutation of something great into something mediocre that bothers me: smashburgers. Hear me out. At one time, this was an interesting modification of the classic bun-meat-cheese-lettuce-pickles-onions-tomato-ketchup-mayo construct. I thought they were okay as a novelty. Now that’s all there are. Everybody’s got a smashburger, and they are all boring and bad. Why is this encrapification? Because the idea behind a smashburger is that any doofus in an apron can prepare it. All he’s got to do is press down really hard and cook the thing until it’s a tasteless hockey puck covered with too much salt. All smashburgers are the same, and they’re all bad. America’s unofficial national food has gone from something juicy into an overcooked saucer of third-tier meat. You don’t have to use good beef if you’re going to cook it beyond well done. Cut the quality but jack up the price – it’s like private equity invaded our kitchens.

Oh, and then there’s the current tipping insanity, but I’ve already made my position on that clear. It’s yet another annoying degradation of the status quo.

So what do these random gripes have in common, besides being the ravings of an aspiring curmudgeon? They show that we’re tolerating things getting worse. It’s not a political thing, and it’s not a legal thing. Well, the bad driving is a legal thing, but you get the point. These are cultural things. These are things we accept that we don’t have to accept. We, as a people, can refuse to do them ourselves and refuse to tolerate them from others. You can choose not to be a jerk in public. You can choose not to be unable to perform basic functions like getting onto an airplane or driving right. You can refuse to consume overcooked garbage or buy crappy products. You can choose to tip reasonably. It’s not going to make you popular. People will try to shame you. People will tell you you’re cramping their style. You might end up in a fistfight. But should we allow our society to be dominated by the dumbest, most annoying 10 percent, whether that’s of people or of businesses?

No. The society most of us grew up in wasn’t perfect, but back then we didn’t put up with this kind of nonsense. So talk on the phone like a normal person, use your brain when getting on a plane, drive better, refuse to pay for junk, and tip properly. Alone, these things aren’t going to make America great again. But it’s a start.

Poll Shows Democrats Want To Deep-Six Not Just Trump But The Entire American Order

We are well past the time of thinking we can sit out of politics because we might not have gotten everything on our political wish list.

The Federalist

Thirty-one percent of registered Democrats want President Trump assassinated, and 59 percent would support the American military overthrowing the validly elected president as long as the coup was done to “protect the Constitution.” 

These were two of the most jaw-dropping takeaways from a recent poll conducted by Chance Phillips and the Center for Strategic Politics about what Democrats are thinking. And, naturally, they were the poll results that gained the most attention. 

If those were the only things this poll revealed, you might be able to explain it as the logical end form of Trump Derangement Syndrome. You can only call someone a Nazi, Hitler, fascist, and authoritarian for so long before people think they’re part of the Department of Ungentlemanly Warfare. But the poll’s other results show that TDS cannot be the simple explanation. 

Consider some of the other results. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats want the next Democrat president to “expand” the Supreme Court — i.e., turn the court into the Democrat Party’s rubber stamp. Sixty-eight percent believe the United States should bring in more immigrants. Seventy-seven percent want Trump administration officials to be prosecuted for enforcing immigration laws already on the books. Fifty-two percent believe the filibuster should be shot and buried. Majorities of Democrats do not think billionaires should exist or that the party should moderate on “transgender issues,” meaning most think Gavin Newsom’s bill allowing child sexual mutilation without parental consent or even knowledge is the right way forward. Almost one-fifth of Democrats — 17 percent — think the Senate should be abolished. 

As others have said, this is not your grandfather’s Democrat Party. This is no longer the Democrat Party of even 2004, when Barack Obama could give a DNC keynote address that gave lip service to American principles and the American Dream. The kooks, as Rush Limbaugh called them, are not only in charge now but in the majority; the poll revealed that 34 percent of Democrats identify as “very woke” and 25 percent as “somewhat woke.” Only 12 percent identified as “very unwoke.” 

The danger of a poll like this is that people can get lost in the weeds, focusing on just one data point (“56 percent of Democrats want Trump to die in his sleep!”). But this is to miss the obvious conclusion of the poll: The Democrat Party, leadership, and voters have declared open war against the United States. 

That sounds melodramatic, but the Democrats have been playing footsie with this for years. Take the Constitution. Listening to Democrats, one would think they were its most principled defenders. But over just the past 10 years, Democrats have formed a chorus to call for the Constitution’s annihilation and replacement. And this chorus has not been composed of anonymous entities yelling into the internet.

This June, the president of the College of the Holy Cross, Vincent Rougeau, wrote in the Jesuit magazine America that “the Constitution has passed its sell-by date.” Aziz Rana, writing in The New York Times in April 2024, warned that “the Constitution won’t save us from Trump,” the subtext being that the framers’ masterpiece was worthless. Jennifer Szalai, in August 2024, ratcheted up that claim, writing that the Constitution is “one of the biggest threats to America’s politics.” In 2022, Nicholas Goldberg, in the Los Angeles Times, identified the Constitution as the “problem” underlying the Supreme Court. Richard Albert, a constitutional law scholar, argued 10 years ago in The Boston Globe that the time had come to write a new constitution “rooted in an infrastructure of equality, not of slavery.” 

Strip away the magic words of power such as “democracy,” “equality,” and “slavery,” and these arguments are unmasked as power grabs, pure and simple. They’re as raw as David Schanzer and Jay Sullivan insisting in The New York Times that then-President Obama cancel the 2014 midterms to save his agenda. The Constitution is a roadblock to their dreams of complete, centralized, one-party rule. Therefore, it must be destroyed.

But this is more than just ending a particular form of government. We, the American people, established the Constitution, as it says in the Preamble, taking not only philosophy and ancient history but our own colonial experiences in self-government to forge it. It is the covenant that politically binds us together. An attack on the Constitution is an attack on us. On Americans. 

These attacks against us have become sharper and more obvious. Texas Democrat Congressman Greg Casar recently said immigration enforcement was “war” and that Austin would only be safe if authorities stopped enforcing immigration law completely. Delia Ramirez, a Democrat representative from Chicago, has introduced legislation that would dismantle the Department of Homeland Security because that is the only way “our people” can be safe. The million-dollar question is: Who are “the people” Casar, Ramirez, and the rest of their party talk about?

The answer is anyone who is not American. This is why Democrats cheer the Islamification of American cities such as Dearborn and Paterson and make Muslims the real victims of 9/11. This is why Democrats aided and abetted pirates to defraud Americans of billions of dollars in states like Minnesota. This is why Democrat-dominated California has created a “shadow welfare system” for illegal aliens. That shadow system redistributed $11 billion to non-Americans from American taxpayers in the last fiscal year alone. This is why Democrats give full-throated support to the asinine idea of “birthright citizenship” that is currently being used by Chinese billionaires (the only good billionaires, apparently) to literally breed American “citizens” who will never live here but will get the vote. This is why Democrats cheer the thought of white Americans becoming a minority in their own country and rabidly call for the burning of our history and heritage.

Americans can be damned because the Democrat Party is not an American party. It is the anti-American party. Perhaps nowhere has this anti-Americanism been so perfectly encapsulated as by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., making Kilmar Abrego Garcia — illegal alien, MS-13 gangbanger, and alleged human trafficker and wife beater — into another Rosa Parks, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pardoning an illegal alien child rapist to stop his deportation. 

In The Two Towers, Aragorn tells Theoden, “Open war is upon you. Whether you would risk it or not.” That is the position in which we now live. The first step to winning a war is knowing you are in one. Once that crucial step has been taken, the second step is simple: action.

We are well past the time of complacency, of thinking we can sit out of politics because we might not have gotten everything on our political wish list. As Jesse Kelly said on X, “Get MORE involved than you’ve ever been.” Vote in the midterms. Get your friends to vote in the midterms. Donate and volunteer. And after the midterms are over, choose a section of the battlefield and go all in. Maybe it’s fighting and removing Soros-backed DAs. Maybe it’s creating an organization to get patriots elected to school boards across the country. Maybe it’s unshackling your local Republican Party from the thinking of McCain, Romney, and Cornyn.

Whatever you choose, fight. It is the only way out. 

Illegal Alien Shot by ICE in Austin Faces Charges for Resisting-Assaulting Federal Officer

RedState 

On Tuesday, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the Venezuelan illegal alien who was shot on September 20 by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer after he attempted to flee from a targeted ICE apprehension, has been officially charged with assault on a federal officer and resisting a federal officer. Garces Perez was seen before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dustin Howell of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for his arraignment hearing.

Garces Perez's attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, Democrat Rep. Greg Casar (TX-35), and the usual anti-ICE activists have been clamoring for bodycam footage. Well, be careful what you wish for. The footage being released provides evidence that blows apart the manufactured narratives that have surrounded the shooting over this past week. 

An illegal alien from Venezuela is charged with: assaulting, resisting, interfering, and impeding a federal officer in Austin.

The criminal complaint alleges that during a traffic stop, Wilber Rafael Garces-Perez, 28, refused orders from ICE ERO officers to exit his vehicle and drove away, striking an officer with his side-view mirror. He allegedly led officers on a high-speed chase before attempting to strike another officer with his vehicle, prompting the officer to fire his pistol.

If convicted, Garces-Perez faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

According to the federal complaint, bodycam footage obtained by the DOJ show as Garces Perez rushed to avoid apprehension and fled the scene, he hit one of the ICE officers with part of his car. 

An illegal alien from Venezuela made his initial appearance in federal court today after being charged with one count of assaulting, resisting, interfering, and impeding a federal officer, announced U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas.

According to court documents, on Sept. 20, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) officers initiated a traffic stop for Wilber Rafael Garces-Perez, 28. The stop was initiated due to confirmation of an immigration judge having issued a final order of removal on Garces-Perez.

The criminal complaint alleges that, during the stop, Garces-Perez provided the ICE ERO officers with his driver’s license. After verifying Garces-Perez was the person they were seeking, the officers asked Garces-Perez to place his vehicle in park and step out—orders which he allegedly ignored. The complaint alleges and body camera footage shows that after further direction from the officers in Spanish, Garces-Perez abruptly closed his window and drove off, striking one of the ICE ERO officers in the torso with the driver’s side-view mirror.

The ICE ERO officers pursued Garces-Perez in their vehicles with their emergency lights and sirens activated. 

Attorney Lincoln-Goldfinch and Casar have spent the past week agitating against ICE and fomenting doubt over Garces Perez's actions before any facts came into evidence. 

Garces Perez was characterized as an "immigrant," legally authorized to work in the United States, who was just trying to provide for his family as a DoorDash driver, until ICE rampaged through Austin looking for brown people, rolled up on Garces Perez, and then shot him several times without warning. 

According to initial reports, Garces Perez claimed in his police interview that ICE did not identify themselves, and that the ICE vehicles chasing him had not turned on their lights during the pursuit. As my RedState colleague Ward Clark reported, video footage obtained by independent journalist Savannah Hernandez dispelled this fantasy and proved all the parties spreading this falsehood were lying through their teeth.

More bodycam footage recently released shows that Garces Perez not only led ICE officers on a high-speed chase, but he attempted to do it a second time when, after being boxed in, he tried to use his vehicle to strike another ICE ERO officer. The ICE ERO officer defensively fired one shot at Garces Perez.

Sounds familiar.  

The complaint alleges Garces-Perez led them on a high-speed chase through a commercial and residential area. While one of the officers lost sight of Garces-Perez during the pursuit, the other ICE ERO officer caught up to Garces-Perez, who allegedly attempted to strike the officer with his car, causing the officer to fire his pistol.

Garces Perez is scheduled to undergo a detention hearing on Friday, October 2. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted. 

So far, radio silence from Lincoln-Goldfinch, Casar, and the other activists demanding answers and "accountability." 

We've received the answers, and the DOJ is doing the work of holding Garces Perez accountable.

‘You’re Going to Write Us a Ticket?’ — Essayli Mocks Newsom’s ICE Weapon Bans, Tells DHS to Ignore

RedState 

Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office spent Tuesday bragging that the governor had signed a package of bills to fight what it called President Trump’s “Orwellian immigration tactics used to terrorize people.”

That package includes a first-in-the-nation ban on shock gloves and new limits on flash-bang grenades and explosive breaching charges used in immigration enforcement.

Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for California's Central District, was less than impressed with the flex.

"Governor, we’ve been through this already. If you want to regulate federal agents, you have to win a federal election. Until then, you have no jurisdiction," he wrote on X.

Essayli said he has advised the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to disregard the shock-glove ban.

Minutes later, after Newsom’s office touted the flash-bang restrictions in a separate X post, Essayli fired back with a solid taunt.

"[Governor] Gavin Newsom just signed a bill that puts restrictions on the use of flash-bang grenades and explosive breaching charges, including in immigration-enforcement activities," his press team bragged.

"Or what?" Essayli fired back. "You’re going to write us a ticket?"

As RedState's Teri Christoph reported in August, DHS is moving to spend up to $20 million on “shock gloves” that ICE agents can use to deliver an electric jolt when someone resists detention. 

The gloves stay inert until an officer hits a switch, and supporters compare the jolt to a bee sting meant to break resistance without a prolonged fight. Basically, a more efficient taser.

Democrats immediately branded the gear as comparable to medieval devices like the rack or the iron maiden.

"This is torture," said Democrat Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51). "No more money for ICE or Border Patrol. Instead, we need to dismantle and overhaul them."

"This is about stepping up where the federal government has failed our communities," Newsom said. "We will continue protecting our people, upholding the rule of law, and making clear that if the federal government operates in California, we will hold them accountable."

Illegal aliens aren't "our people."

House Homeland Security Democrats urged Secretary Markwayne Mullin to kill the shock glove purchase.

"ICE has demonstrated a pattern of misusing tools and devices, including rubber bullets and chemical sprays, in manners that put the public at greater risk of serious injury or death," wrote Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson (MS-02).

What actually puts the public at risk is allowing illegal aliens to roam the streets of American cities. A little bee sting is the least they deserve whilst being rounded up. If school resource officers can use the same technology on unruly teens, they can surely use it to keep criminals in line.

Mark Carney Blames USA for Layoffs of Canadian Steel Workers

Conservative Treehouse 

When asked about a statement this week where Stelco Holdings Inc. announced they were laying off 500 workers from their steel plant in Hamilton, Ontario, immediately Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blamed the United States.

He’s lying. It’s ridiculous. However, that’s all Carney can do at this point.

In reality it is (1) Canadian energy, climate and manufacturing policy; in combination with (2) the specific decision to allow the import of cheap steel from China; in combination with the decision to (3) rebuke U.S requests to stop purchasing that Chinese steel; that has driven out Canadian steel manufacturing.

(1) Canada carbon emission policy changes steel manufacturing. (2) Canada admits to lying about the import of Chinese Steel. (3) Canadian steel manufacturers warn Canada of pending exit. Mark Carney denied all three points. The receipts are in the links right there.

WATCH Prime Minister Carney blatantly lie on camera:

This announcement by Stelco happened on the exact same day that President Trump announced a new $18billion investment in U.S. steel manufacturing in Iowa. {SOURCE}

In fact, in a world full of irony, during a media segment discussing the closure of the Canadian steel plant, CBC cut away to live feed of President Trump who was making the Iowa steel plant announcement.  The timing was rather remarkable.
