Democrats have become the anti-progress party just as they were in the 19th century with slavery

The party that calls itself "progressive" (and then moved on to socialist and then Communist) is now the "anti-progress" party. Bernie and AOC want to put a fence around AI (artificial intelligence) and drive it out of the country. President Xi of China wants to invite 100,000 of our brightest and best young people to China for a look-see at what China is doing with AI. What could possibly go wrong? What, another 100,000 Tim Walzes to run for president with a huge fraud base? 

Xi’s 100K invitation to America’s youth sets off alarm bells over what could follow them home

David Sacks tells of an emperor in the Ming Dynasty (1300s) who forbid maritime commerce just as Europe was expanding its horizons. Until then the Chinese culture and wealth was ahead of Europe. It never caught up. 

But it can do it now with AI. Democrats want to stop US expansion in AI for 2 reasons: 1) because they are desperate to stop anything that Trump does. If it brings down Western Civilization, so be it. It's then Trump's fault. 2) Also, most of the corporations now leaders in AI in the US are left leaning--big donors to Democrats. They want to control the market and can do that more easily with Democrats controlling everything and make it illegal to compete with them. No matter if it cures cancer or dementia, or if it goes beyond the moon. They must stop Trump and take over the country.

Two of my favorite podcasts

Two of my go-to podcasts are Megyn Kelly and All-In. Megyn can be a bit of a potty mouth--and that's definitely a negative and I'm not sure why she does it; it doesn't add anything. All-in is all men, and although that can be confusing (I don't watch, only listen) it's 1000x better than trying to listen to a group of women discuss something!
 
All-in is Chamath Palihapitiya, David Friedberg, Jason Calacanis, and David Sacks (created PayPal). Sacks has recently joined Trump as an "unelected" adviser, but I'm not sure what he does, and now there is a guest filling in for him. These guys are venture capitalists, business men, scientists, etc., and talk way over my head, but that's why I listen. They were really divided on Trump, but now at least on policy, are "all-in."
 
Kelly, too, was originally not a fan of Trump or MAGA , and in the first primary back in 2016, she made no bones about it. This time around she's definitely a fan, although it came gradually. Because she is no longer "owned" by a network she can say anything she pleases--and does. She's also a lawyer, a former network host, and a mom of 3, so she has plenty of opinions and expertise to share.

The most recent All-in podcast (weekly, Feb. 14) was Naval Ravikant an Indian-born American entrepreneur and investor. He is the co-founder, chairman and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AngelList. He has invested early-stage in Uber, FourSquare, Twitter, Postmates, SnapLogic, and Yammer.
 
The most recent Kelly podcast (daily) was her interviewing the guys from All-In about Trump, Musk, their appeal to independents and moderates, media, technology and family issues, parenting, and celebrities. I'm always surprised how much the All-in guys talk about family issues.

It was fun to hear my favorites together although they have a somewhat rocky road in their past.

Recommended podcast--Honestly with Bari Weiss

I often repost a link to Bari Weiss' material. She's started a new source for information and opinion, Common Sense (on Substack), after resigning from New York Times. She's also started a podcast, Honestly. This one, an interview with a Big Tech whistleblower, David Sacks, is well worth your time. How they are controlling private companies and free speech with their threats and power policies and coercion. And we're about to be hit with the social credit system. Maybe you thought shutting down Alex Jones or Donald Trump was just fine, but they are coming after YOU. If you are shut out of the digital town square, you have no free speech or the right to assemble. They are acting as a cartel.
