AI and the Military - OURS and THEIRS

Google may well become The Next IBM - not because it is the leader in computing, but because they are collaborating with China's military.

Google has made the decision to side with China's military, all the while "courageously" refusing to work with America's military.

I can't think of a more reprehensible corporate decision, fueled by the dimwitted SJWs that are running Google into the ground. I sincerely HOPE Trump makes a campaign issue of it - by the time Election 2020 gets close, I would expect that Hong Kong will have been crushed by China.

In that expectation, I hope I'm wrong - nothing would please me more than a Solidarity-type outcome. Nonetheless, I am pessimistic.

CW 2.0 Links

Wilder has the update.

I originally started reading John Wilder (Wilder, Wealthy, and Wise) because his posts were so funny. I have a preference for humorous blogs in the morning, so I read his backpages for weeks, savoring the delicious sense of humor.

Lately, I've noted the importance of his posts on what BOTH sides are starting to call Civil War 2.0. The concept, and the phrase, have evolved from unthinkable, to an uneasy acceptance of its inevitability.

Could it be avoided? Not as long as the Left sees Total Annihilation of the Private Economy, Capitulation by all White People (the ESSENCE of Evil), and Constitutional Rights Removal as the Starting Point for negotiation.

The situation is similar to CW 1.0 - one side wants, at a minimum, to retain the status quo.

The other, in a religious fervor, wants complete victory, and to piss on our dead carcasses. AND to take away our children for re-education into their way of life.

No compromise. No negotiation. No hope for a semi-normal life after.

We are NOT defending slavery. We are NOT in favor of taking away Constitutional Rights. We are, however, in favor of NOT being forced to accept our replacement by illegal aliens, all of whom will have rights and preferences - civil, employment, and cultural - that EXCEED our own.

So, yeah, CW 2.0 is on the way. I see no evidence that the Left will accept any alternative.

Rules for New Citizens

There needs to be an overhaul of our citizenship process, putting penalties on those who help non-qualifying applicants fraudulently obtain visas, residency permits, or citizenship. That penalty should be:

• Financial - sufficiently hefty to discourage aiding and abetting the process.
• Felonious - NOT able to be bargained down into a misdemeanor, and carrying at LEAST 1 actual term of jail, for the full 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 a year time period. NOT negotiable. Also, including that a basic right of citizenship - the right to vote - be PERMANENTLY lost, along with any right to hold office at any level.
• If a non-citizen has aided or abetted that fraud, they will, if not a natural-born citizen, lose residency, citizenship, and visa privileges.

This guy is a demo case of why. 19 Americans lost their lives because of his presence in this country.

Tired, But Satisfied

This was a Decluttering Day. The security installer was here to upgrade our system - he did a great job, and managed to ignore the activity around him.

What was that activity? We had been more often out of town than in it, for more than a month. Mail was scattered around, clothes were piled high in the laundry, and clutter abounded.

We started early today, and both kept going for a LONG time. By the end of the day, the house is NOT perfect - not by a long shot - but, is considerably better. Floors are largely cleared up, you can actually find space on the furniture to sit down, and I've caught up on email, both personal and business.

We'll be continuing the clearing up the mess through next week, at which point we should be good.

Right now, I'm in the lounge chair, feet propped up, and just relaxing. As I should be, after a long and hard day.

The Revenge of the Cradle - Amish Style

From a small fringe community, the Amish have skyrocketed their number, due to two factors:

• Large birth rate - far greater than the average American family
• 90% retention of their children into the Amish community when adult

This represents an alternative pathway for Conservatives/Traditional Families:

• Keep their schooling influences within your faith/philosophical traditions. Either send them to traditional school settings, home-school/virtual school, or work to provide oversight of the curriculum they are exposed to.
• Primarily socialize within known influences/families. Limit electronic media - TV, internet, music, etc.
• Joyfully embrace your family, no matter how large it becomes. Encourage all your children to plan for a family-centered life, and teach/train them in useful home and work skills.

When Marianne Williamson Seems the Sane One...

...you know your party is in trouble.

I keep getting emails from her - I have NO idea why. I haven't gone to the trouble of blocking her, as yet. I've just deleted them, and moved on.

She is, however, BIG TROUBLE for the Dems. The contrast with the far-Left candidates is obvious. She's trending on social media - people like the idea of supporting a (relatively) sane Dem, that will not cause them to be shunned by the others as a race-hater.

I very much doubt she will last. At best, she'll walk into the convention with a small number of delegates, and cast a shadow over the eventual candidate, who - and I'm going out on a limb here - I believe will be Kamala Harris. She makes a good media presence, uses her background effectively against opponents, and - on the surface - doesn't seem like a wild-eyed Leftist.

Which, actually, I don't think she is. She's an opportunist. And, she is making good use of her opportunity in the spotlight. She is the one candidate who might keep the Dem stranglehold on Blacks and Women.

Draining the Swamp 2.0

Trump needs to task someone with being the "point person" to receive all of these types of reports of infestation by disgruntled holdovers in agencies. Then, after investigation, let the Cabinet Secretaries know about the outcome of the research, and begin removal of those that can be immediately taken down, and - for those more imbedded, surgical excision from their current post into a make-work job, far from influence, and eventual removal for cause.

Trump cannot leave that person in place - if, for Civil Service problems, he can't just fire/eliminate the position, he needs to keep them from continuing their active resistance.

Sites like this one need to be on that Point Person's daily watchlist. Think of it as an extra-official warning of problems that may not hit the level of official complaint, or of problems that have been officially buried.

The process of Draining the Swamp is likely to be a lengthy process, as long as Federal employees are not At-Will. However, I think we can count on human frailty to do much of the job of unclogging the mire.

• Find that Point Person - if it's not possible at present, use Pence, who seems to have good instincts. There is precedence for this - Gore was used to funnel waste concerns when Clinton was promoting his initiative to streamline government.
• He is NOT the person for initial complaints. The OIG retains that function. This is for complaints that are blocked before reaching the OIG, or for those that the OIG's recommendations did not alleviate.
• He is also not for levels of problems under the supervisory level. This is designed to get the higher levels to Do Their Job, Without Undermining the Current Administration.
• If a person is identified as a embedded Clog, they are to be given a chance to RESIGN - not lateral move, unless that move is necessary to put them into a position from which they can be later eliminated. Do that when the evidence of prosecutable misconduct, or evidentiary firing for cause, are not present.
• When firing for cause is present, they should be given only TWO choices. If they are over 50, with long service in the federal government, they may apply for early retirement. If they can be prosecuted, no matter what their age, a charge should be filed. The ONLY way the prosecution doesn't go forward is if they admit to their crime(s), and accept a plea that includes:
• No further employment in government - at ANY level
• No lobbying
• No working in a job that receives government funding
• The basic nature of their crime will be noted in HR. HR will be required to warn potential employers of that nature - irregularities with handling funds, abuse of perks, touchy-feely with subordinates/co-workers, etc.
• And - most importantly - return of all of THEIR contributions to pension. They may invest them, tax-free, in an IRA, but they will NEVER be eligible for a government pension of ANY kind.

This is a priority. Without this action, the Swamp will simply go into hibernation, waiting for the next election.

Point Person needs to be, temperamentally, the Anti-Trump - methodical, unimpassioned, reasoned and thorough. Pence would be good. There are others, as well.

This cannot wait until the next election.

UPDATE: I noticed the official charter on the website linked above. Failure to follow the charter, taken as a pattern of behavior, certainly seems to be a justifiable reason to fire the head of the agency.

VOA Charter

The long-range interests of the United States are served by communicating directly with the peoples of the world by radio. To be effective, the Voice of America must win the attention and respect of listeners. These principles will therefore govern Voice of America (VOA) broadcasts:

  

1. VOA will serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news. VOA news will be accurate, objective, and comprehensive.

  

2. VOA will represent America, not any single segment of American society, and will therefore present a balanced and comprehensive projection of significant American thought and institutions.

3. VOA will present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively, and will also present responsible discussions and opinion on these policies.

Note that last - this is LAW, not policy. Violations of this, documented, are valid reasons for removing people from their posts - even without evidence of other crimes. Take out the head quickly using this, then, follow up with the for-cause firings.

I'd heard about some states with these policies before, but had never acted upon that knowledge. It may be time for churches to band together to get these abusive actions stopped, both locally, and statewide.

Jailed for being poor - unconstitutional, but still going on.

Some GOP candidates could get some traction by supporting the elimination, or waiver/reduction of these practices.
