“AI mirrors its creator — Grok 4, with its curated data, reflects xAI’s biases, not an objective truth.

Posted by on November 2, 2025 at 6:48 pm

I write this post on November 1, the beginning of another round of enrollment into “Obamacare” — i.e., healthcare provided via the deceptively-named Affordable Care Act (ACA), which President Obama signed into law in 2010 (see image). Obama and the Democrats made many promises about the legislation, and Fred Lucas — chief news correspondent and […]

Let’s review in brief… Many on the Left (and perhaps some anti-Trumpers) have run with the claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was actually a far-right nutjob from a rival pro-Trump wing competing with Kirk’s Turning Point USA. This is what Jimmy Kimmel was referring to in the statement that, in part, got him taken off […]
