Is It Too Late for America? 

"Liberalism moves, therefore, toward radical individualism and the corruption of standards that movement entails. By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified... Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is its own negation: the artificial, mechanized or brutalized control which is a desperate remedy for its chaos." -Robert Bork

New York County First to Ban Boys From Girls' Sports   “We are protecting girls’ right to compete against other girls," Blakeman told the New York Post.

Users Discover Google's AI Tool Has Hit a New Level of Wokeness: Has Begun Erasing White People from History   As users of Google’s newly updated AI Gemini are quickly finding out, Big Tech doesn’t just want to demonize white people, they want to erase them from history altogether.

While its capabilities are undoubtedly impressive (able to summarize whole videos and books on command), when using the image generation tools, users are finding that almost any prompt, no matter how specific, will produce a response that adheres rigidly to the woke standards of “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

What the Hell Went Wrong With Google Gemini? It Isn't What You Think.  Gemini wasn't built to serve different users. It was built by Google to "fix" problematic attitudes like yours and mine. Until Google solves its attitude problem toward us, Gemini will remain a bad joke instead of a useful tool.

How low birth rates could threaten our civilization...For Italians—and for everyone else—there is a warning from history  For every Italian who joins the workforce, two retire. Schools are closing. Playgrounds are empty. The pension system faces bankruptcy. The most profound effect of the low birth rate is that the country is shrinking. Today’s population, 59 million, could be 54 million by 2050, 47 million by 2070. One newspaper headline here said: “The last Italian could be born in less than 200 years.”

The Illegal Immigration Invasion Isn't Due to 'Incompetence.' It's the Plan. 

This is what happens when you put your entire government into the service of an international cabal of despots at the United Nations and sit back and watch, as Joe Biden has done.

Study Reveals the Power of COFFEE Against Covid-19   According to the researchers, there are two ways coffee protects human cells against SARS-CoV-2 infection. First, compounds in coffee inhibit the spike protein’s ability to bind with human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in human cells. Second, they reduce the activity of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) and cathepsin L (CTSL).

“Taken together, drinking one to two cups of coffee as well as decaffeinated coffee daily can potentially reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection – including wild-type, alpha, delta and omicron variants,” the researchers concluded.
