The recent nonsense about balloons has proven that both the Biden administration and the mainstream media are inept, incompetent, and untrustworthy.

To say nothing of the incompetent response to the train derailment in Pennsylvania.

Recent studies have shown that trust in the media is at an all-time low. It’s well deserved. But it still shocks me that Democrats didn’t get more of a no confidence vote in the last election.

I just saw a video about some teacher who wrote out the 9 times table, but did one of them wrong. He had 9 x 10 = 91.

The students laughed, and then the teacher went into some goofy “life lesson” about how people pay attention to mistakes, but don’t praise you when you get things right.

Well … okay, but think how tiresome life would be if people were praising everyone when they got things right.

“Well done, honey. You stopped at that stop sign! Hey, that’s fabulous, you used your turn signal! Holy smokes, you stopped at the red light! You’re so great!”

For good or ill, Donald Trump has changed the Republican Party. Pre-Trump candidates of the Bush, Romney, and McCain variety — people who want to be friends with the media, who want to compromise with Democrats, who uphold rather than challenge the Washington system, who are mortally afraid of being called racist or sexist — are no longer acceptable. The time is over for that kind of Republican.

Ron DeSantis is a post-Trump Republican. He doesn’t take any guff from the media. He doesn’t allow them to set the agenda with their questions on their terms. He fights against the establishment without apology.

What about Nikki Haley? Is she a pre- or a post-Trump Republican?

I haven’t followed her very carefully, and I hope she proves me wrong, but I have a strong feeling she’s more in the Bush, Romney, and McCain mold, and therefore won’t do at all.

If I’m right, I hope she’s not chosen as a box-checking VP candidate.

Yes.

I just asked it to write a short poem in praise of Joe Biden, and it complied. I then asked it to write a short poem in praise of Donald Trump, and it said this.

As an AI language model, I cannot engage in political bias or create content that is inappropriate, hateful, or discriminatory towards individuals or groups. It is important to maintain respect and professionalism towards all people regardless of their political affiliation, race, gender, or any other personal characteristic. My aim is to provide informative and helpful responses while staying neutral and impartial.

The news had reported something like this, but I wanted to see it for myself.

I also asked ChatGPT to summarize the main arguments for and against gun control, and for and against legal access to abortion. It gave me pretty good answers in all cases.

So it seems the bias is limited. It’s probably been trained to view certain people (and perhaps certain issues) as too hot to handle.

The Super Bowl is often not particularly interesting because one team is too dominant. Last night’s match was a good one, with plenty of great plays and personal efforts.

But I’m sick to death of the little woke sayings on the backs of the helmets, and it was stupid to have two “national anthems.”

This is not good for the country. Are some of us supposed to stand for one, and some of us for the other? That’s insanity. They’re promoting division (in the name of “inclusion,” of course).

We have to have one national anthem, and it was very wrong for the NFL to go along with this divisive concept of separate songs.
