Undeniably Right

The aging hippies participating in the No King's protests against Donald Trump have shown us once again that their hypocrisy knows no bounds. An actual king, Charles, made a trip across the pond for an official state visit, during which he addressed a joint session of Congress. If you truly believed that there should not be any kings, wouldn't you expect there to be some protests outside of the capitol building and to watch the Democrats sit on their hands? Of course not.

They actually gave King Charles a standing ovation while the Republicans politely clapped. Then they told the person who is not a king that he should listen to a real king. The real king lectured us about saving democracy, even though we are not a democracy. Both he and the Democrats apparently ignoring the fact that in his country they took away citizens guns 30 years ago and now are putting them in jail for making offensive posts on social media. Especially if those posts are critical of a specific religion that apparently has achieved most favored status with not only the king but the government of his country.

Wasn't one of the reasons we left that country over 250 years ago because there was a most favored religion? Wasn't the reason we decided to separate and form our own country because the king didn't listen to us? Doesn't it sound like what the Liberal Democrats are doing right now? Acting like kings.

The advances in artificial intelligence are quite impressive. They are also scary and have wide-ranging sociological implications. We are all familiar with The Terminator movie series in which artificial intelligence decides that humans are not worth keeping alive. Even some of the creators of artificial intelligence programs have expressed concerns about their creations reaching the same conclusion. On the positive side, AI programs can help us with productivity and research in ways that will exponentially speed up finding solutions to problems. Just like humans, there is a good and an evil side to AI.

Many people are turning to chat bots for advice. It doesn't matter about the topic; the programs can search for a tremendous amount of data and put together an answer that people trust. When a computer program does not have the ability to analyze from an empathetic or sympathetic viewpoint, that advice then becomes data driven. Just like the movie, the chat bot doesn't see the intrinsic value of a human. It sees a solution to a problem with which it has been presented.

Lots of things lately get under my skin!

Artificial intelligence is changing the world faster than any other technological advancement in history. Chatbots can interact with people in so many ways, often mimicking human beings to carry on conversations with real humans. In fact, there is a trend among younger humans to develop relationships with the Chatbots rather than real humans. Chatbots can be programmed to never disagree with you or say things that might make you feel bad. Richard Skellett has taken that concept to the proverbial next level.

Richard works for a digital consulting firm. They have been at the forefront of helping clients utilize artificial intelligence programs to enhance human productivity. Richard has gone a step further. He has built an artificial version of himself, Digital Richard. Over the last 3 years, Richard has given his alter ego access to every email, Zoom meeting, phone conversation, in person meetings, and every document he has authored. With that information, Digital Richard has become an online version of Richard.

9One of the things that differentiates conservatives from liberals is that we do not blindly follow our political leaders. If there's something we don't like, we will say so. Liberals on the other hand will justify anything their favorite politician does even if they've spoken out against that behavior or policy in the past. I have regularly criticized republican congressional leaders that they often, not every time, when they regained power in the house refused to keep the promises they made to the people.e. When in the minority, the Republicans put forth a bill to repeal Obamacare seven times. When they regained power and Paul Ryan was elected speaker, he refused to bring a similar bill to the floor.

I like Donald Trump's policies. They are pro-American, pro-business, and generally good for the country. Many of us don't like the way he speaks, even when we agree with the message. If he could only speak with the humor and wit of a Ronald Reagan, more people would stop and listen to what he's actually saying rather than focusing on how he is saying it.

Based upon the pictures I saw and the interviews I watched, those that participated in the No Kings' day demonstration accomplished their goal. Their goal was never to remove Donald Trump from office. It was to satisfy their ego and make them feel morally superior to the rest of us. They love to dance around and sing songs to make themselves feel good. They can then retire to their favorite coffee shop or craft brewery and talk about how they made a difference in the world that day.

They are delusional. Imagine the feeling of moral superiority that you must possess to believe that you know more than Iranians, or Venezuelans, or Cubans about their lives. All of those people were demonstrating against the tyrannical government under which they have lived for decades. Expats were celebrating in the streets of the United States and other countries because of our actions. Yet the left-wing nut jobs told them they were wrong. The demonstrators showed their support for true tyrannical leaders ignoring the people that were begging for freedom.

I"m going to have to listen to find out, also.
