If you are unfamiliar with Walter Hudson, then you are missing out on some genius hot takes and sober analysis of things going on in Minnesota.

This week, on GrokTALK! I open with some fun facts: Everyone in Minnesota knew about the fraud, started to do something about it, but Democrats killed, rewrote it, and now it’s toothless. Then I discuss a growing trend among elected officials, at least in New Hampshire, to publicly tell judges they are out of their ... Read more

We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many ... Read more

Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision ... Read more

I’ll talk about Anthropic in just a moment. First, a true story. When working for a defense contractor in the early 2020s, I was assigned to work on a system (name redacted for obvious reasons) that had been designed in the early 1990s and then fully rolled out in the mid 1990s after multiple successful ...

I landed in Israel on Friday in the early afternoon, and at passport control, I was asked whether I was aware of the situation with Iran and whether I really wanted to enter.

What is happening today between the Left and Right has become so diametrically opposed that it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, Bizarro World.
