Wow, And Just in Time For Father's Day

Karl Marx's dad shits all over his philosophy. 

Incredible.

Reminder

Trump is actually moderate on illegal immigration. He's prioritizing sending back criminals, not the regular hardworking folk. 

Value Proposition

Can someone explain the value proposition of AI making movies or writing novels or journalism? Say you drive down the costs. What does this achieve? More movies and novels and news articles? Has anyone out there seen all the movies or read all the novels they want to? I doubt it. In fact, my lists are too long already.

It's like AI is designed to put Hollywood out of work so they can get back to the real fun stuff like gardening and washing dishes and raising kids. 

When you step back, the thing makes no sense. Why invest trillions in this? Why not invest trillions in solving real problems? Like maybe AI could solve medical problems or have a military function, but that's not what we see right now.

What I've Been Saying

"Watching Morning Joe talking about California and Trump and Newsom and the military and I'm seeing Republican dominance of American politics for the next two decades unless these people stop being psychotic"

Democrats been captured by the mentally insane wing of the party.

PS - Pitch: to hold elected office one needs to pass a mental health check. Reasonable, right?

"Fascism"

LA Times reports 330 illegals detained. Hundreds protest. Consider the population of LA area - around 12 million. The turnout and stakes of this situation is smaller than a high school football game. 

Live action role playing for all involved. 

What Am I Missing?

Republicans and Democrats see immigration differently. Republicans want to crack down on illegal immigration. Democrats don't. Republicans won the national election handily and thus control policy. They won the debate politically. California Democrats think it doesn't matter, they want to oppose how the Federal government enforces immigration policy under vague reasoning like "democracy is under assault." I think what they are attempting to argue is that what Trump is doing violates rights. But they can't articulate what rights. So what they are really arguing is that it's "mean." Their actions in this matter are seditious.

I Don't See the Argument

Maybe ICE raids are brazen, cruel, and unnecessary. But I don't see how they are illegal. Newsom and Bass are encouraging insurrection and non-compliance with federal law. We live in a country last time I checked. 

Democrats

Burning an American flag is freedom of expression but burn a Mexican flag or a Pride flag is a hate crime.

Why Does Anyone Object to ICE Raids?

If in the US legally you should man up and accept the occasional ICE raid. This seems to me entirely fair game. If you're under 21 and wandering around drinking booze and acting like an idiot, accept you'll get an occasional minor in possession. If you keep it on the down low, you'll probably get away with it. Same with being an illegal immigrant. If you act cool, you'll probably be fine. 

This systematic rejection of any immigration enforcement makes zero political sense. You're just helping Trump. If anything, let him overextend himself. 

Da' Mayor

Karen Bass claims we would not have protests if not for ICE raids. Another way to look at it - we would not have ICE raids without open borders and sanctuary cities. 

UPDATE: After spending about 6 hours over the last couple days weather treating a new gate, I am officially in favor of all illegal immigrants, especially for those with painting and fence building skills.

Great Tweet

"Hey guys, instead of taking the 20% side of 80/20 issues, let's take the 5% side of 95/5 issues"

Trump's greatest skill is simply knowing how to bait liberals into looking like the idiots they are. 

LA Riots

First they rioted for BLM, then Palestine, now immigration. It's all organized by the same people. The only unifying idea is a hatred for what Americans prefer (no DEI, Israel to win, and legal immigration).

Logging

Film: The Plot Against Harry

The most Jewish movie I've ever seen and you can consider that a recommendation. 

Also one of my favorite subgenres called "Man Gets Out of Prison and struggles to recacclimate."
