Biden Actually Claims Ownership of America’s Kids (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

There have been numerous, and regular, reports and videos about how Joe Biden’s affinity for sniffing others’ hair, often children, that goes well into the “creepy” zone.

One report, from SkyNews, pointed out that critics had excoriated him for his behavior.

He’s now moved well beyond sniffing hair, and has adopted a statement declaring that everyone, especially teachers since the comment came at a press conference for a teacher, has ownership of all children. . .

He repeated a statement from teacher Rebekah Peterson, and appeared to adopt it as his own.

“Rebecca put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” Biden claimed. (Read more from “Biden Actually Claims Ownership of America’s Kids (VIDEO)” HERE)

Here’s How Much More Efficient AI Makes the Average Worker: Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

Access to artificial intelligence rendered workers in a customer support setting 14% more efficient, according to a new working paper from Stanford University and MIT researchers.

The findings come as ChatGPT, an AI language processing tool, accrues worldwide recognition as knowledge workers leverage the system’s capabilities to execute tasks such as writing emails and fixing computer code in a matter of seconds. The academics showed that customer service employees at an unnamed Fortune 500 software company who had access to a tool based on a version of GPT answered more customer requests in the same amount of time as their colleagues who did not have access to the system.

“Access to the tool increases productivity, as measured by issues resolved per hour, by 14% on average, with the greatest impact on novice and low-skilled workers, and minimal impact on experienced and highly skilled workers,” the working paper said. “We provide suggestive evidence that the AI model disseminates the potentially tacit knowledge of more able workers and helps newer workers move down the experience curve.”

The researchers indeed found that newer and less skilled workers saw significant productivity gains, while their more experienced colleagues saw minimal improvement from the technology. The tool, which monitored customer chats and provided agents with real-time suggestions on how to respond, was “designed to augment agents,” who remained responsible for the conversation and were able to ignore the suggestions from the system.

Employees who used the AI tool saw a “decline in the time” necessary to handle an individual customer chat and an increased capacity to handle multiple chats at once, as well as a “small increase” in the portion of customer requests successfully resolved. Workers who had two months of tenure and access to the system typically performed as well as agents with six months of tenure and no access to the system.

Judge Forces Sorority Girls to Disclose Identities to Stop Disturbing ‘Trans’ Male from Moving into Their House

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. district court judge ordered University of Wyoming sorority sister plaintiffs to reveal their names in a lawsuit against Kappa Kappa Gamma’s University of Wyoming chapter for allowing a transgender-identifying man to be inducted.

According to local news, “The six sorority sisters sued the Kappa Kappa Gamma’s parent organization, its president and the school’s first transgender sorority member late last month in a closely watched case. They alleged that the sorority did not follow its bylaws and rules, failed to uphold its mission, breached its housing contract with members, and misled them by admitting a transgender student.” The plaintiffs filed the suit anonymously as “Jane Does” and assigned the pseudonym “Terry Smith” to the trans-identifying sorority member. . .

If the lawsuit is unsuccessful, transgender-identifying man Artemis Langford, who was admitted into the sorority in 2022, will move into the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter house in the fall of 2023.

The lawsuit states that Langford is 6’2’’ tall, weighs 260 pounds, has not undergone any apparent chemical or surgical trans medical interventions, and rarely attempts to look like a female. It also reveals that the female plaintiffs feel extremely uncomfortable around Langford, who has allegedly engaged in bizarre and even “threatening” behavior, such as staring at the women without talking for hours, asking inappropriate questions, and at one point having “an erection visible through his leggings.”

During the recruitment process, Langford “avoided answering questions about his hobbies, passions, or involvement in other organizations,” according to the lawsuit. Instead, it says, he inquired about whether he could live in the sorority house and “talked about his desire to be near cadavers and to touch dead bodies.” (Read more from “Judge Forces Sorority Girls to Disclose Identities to Stop Disturbing ‘Trans’ Male from Moving into Their House” HERE)

Hunter Biden Notified Burisma Colleague of Planned Blinken Meet: Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

First son Hunter Biden kept his business partners apprised of at least two scheduled one-on-one meetings with Antony Blinken, emails reviewed by The Post show.

The decade-plus-long relationship between Blinken and Hunter made headlines last week after the House Judiciary Committee revealed that former CIA acting director Michael Morell testified in private that Blinken — then a Biden 2020 campaign adviser — “triggered” a letter from 51 ex-intelligence officials that sought to discredit The Post’s reporting on bombshell emails from the first son’s abandoned laptop. . .

On May 22, 2015, 13 months after joining the Burisma board, Hunter Biden emailed Blinken, then President Barack Obama’s deputy secretary of state, with a request.

“Have a few minutes next week to grab a cup of coffee? I know you are impossibly busy, but would like to get your advice on a couple of things. Best, Hunter.”

“Absolutely,” Blinken emailed back. “I’m just about to land in Tokyo en route back DC from Burma. I’ll be in office from Tuesday on. Copying Linda in my office to find a good time. Look forward to seeing you. Tony.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Notified Burisma Colleague of Planned Blinken Meet: Emails” HERE)

Trans Runner Beat 14K Women in London Marathon after Running NYC as a Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man.

Sports bra-wearing racer Glenique Frank — who ran the New York Marathon on Nov. 6 as Glen Frank — went viral after stopping to talk to a BBC reporter covering the UK race Sunday.

“London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of [his] 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston.

“Girl power!” Frank said of [his] marathon efforts while flexing [his] bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands.

The runner — whose social media still shows photos of [him] running earlier races as a balding man — ended the mid-race chat to gush about how [his] “beautiful son” is expecting a baby. (Read more from “Trans Runner Beat 14K Women in London Marathon after Running NYC as a Man” HERE)

Trump Hints He May Skip GOP Debates: ‘Nobody Got My Approval’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump appeared to cast doubt about whether he will participate in the GOP debates.

“I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them. When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA-hating anchors asking the ‘questions,’ why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Republican National Committee announced the first primary debate will take place in Milwaukee in August and will be hosted by Fox News. The RNC also announced the second debate will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, but the exact date and moderator have not been specified.

“Also, the Second Debate is being held at the Reagan Library, the Chairman of which is, amazingly, Fred Ryan, Publisher of The Washington Post. NO!” Trump added. (Read more from “Trump Hints He May Skip GOP Debates: ‘Nobody Got My Approval’” HERE)

Elementary Teacher Accused of Possessing Child Porn

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Atlanta-area teacher is facing multiple counts of possessing child pornography after investigators received a tip from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children.

On April 14, someone from Washington state contacted the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding the possible online sexual exploitation of a child by a teacher at Poole’s Mill Elementary School in Cumming, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of the state capital. NCMEC then alerted the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

An investigation into the NCMEC tip led police to 38-year-old James Andrew “Drew” Cecil, who had been teaching fourth grade at Poole’s Mill Elementary for about two years. He also previously spent five years as a teacher and volleyball coach at North Forsyth High School in the same district.

Cecil was arrested last Friday without incident. He has been charged with nine counts of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. He was booked into Forsyth County Jail and assessed a bond of $55,200. He has likely been released on bond, as his name no longer appears on jail records. It is unclear when he is expected to appear in court. (Read more from “Elementary Teacher Accused of Possessing Child Porn” HERE)

UK Begins Military Evacuation in Sudan While US Says It’s Too Dangerous

/0 Comments/in , /by

While a 72-hour ceasefire appears to be holding, the British government has begun to evacuate British nationals from Sudan aboard military flights from an airfield outside the capital Khartoum, the United Kingdom government announced today.

“Flights will be open to those with British passports and priority will be given to family groups with children and/or the elderly or individuals with medical conditions,” according to the statement tweeted by the U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. “At this stage we will contact those who are eligible for evacuation directly and British nationals should not make their way to the airfield unless called.”

Meanwhile, the Pentagon said the security situation in Khartoum is too uncertain for a U.S. military airlift of Americans and dual nationals trapped in the city, as two warring generals fight over a plan to combine their rival military factions.

“We’re going to do everything we can to help guide people, get them the information they need to get out safely, but it is not safe right now, for another evacuation attempt that would actually put Americans in more danger, not less,” said NSC spokesman John Kirby on CBS.

Instead, the Biden administration is telling Americans who want to get out of Khartoum to consider an arduous 500-mile drive overland to Port Sudan. “We just entered a period of a ceasefire, we hope it holds, but because of the violence we’ve seen in the last few days, our best advice to most Americans who are still in Sudan, despite the warnings to leave, is to shelter in place, stay somewhere safe and secure before moving about,” said Kirby on CNN last night.

The Intelligence Leak Shows Us Nothing New or Surprising about Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

As a retired U.S. Army intelligence officer, I was struck by three things about the recent Discord leaks of classified information. First, that top secret information is far more widely distributed than it was 25 years ago, and second, that the claim that “our government is lying to us” about the situation in Ukraine is wildly overblown. And lastly, that we barely dodged a bullet. . .

As was seen in the most recent leak, the other aspect to classification is how significantly overclassified things have become. (Is “Confidential” still used as a classification? Because I can’t recall the last time I saw any leak of classified documents marked “Confidential.”) It’s as if the classifying authorities — actual people (and I’ve classified a few documents in my time) — believe they derive some authority or prestige by the volume of top-secret documents they produce. It’s almost as if they’re acting like academics looking to pad their publication count. . .

On to the claim that the leaked documents show our government isn’t leveling with the American people about the progress of Russia’s war on Ukraine. . .

The fact is that the U.S. and its Western allies are woefully unprepared for an extended conventional conflict. So too is Russia, as seen with its own significant shortages of artillery ammunition, missiles, and tanks. This problem isn’t new. Maintaining military-industrial base readiness was a costly investment few were willing to make after the end of the Cold War. American production of missiles such as the Javelin anti-armor system are only now being ramped up to a rate where it will take a couple of years to replenish stocks used in Ukraine so far.

It’s also true that some of the military supplies America is sending to Ukraine would be useful in deterring China from threatening Taiwan or its other neighbors, but some analysts see China and Russia as creating an authoritarian alliance of convenience against the West. If this is the case, Ukraine — and maybe Taiwan — are separate parts of what may become the same conflict.

Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon Hire Same Lawyer After Their Ousters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former CNN anchor Don Lemon hired the same lawyer to navigate their departures from their respective cable television channels.

Reports say Los Angeles, California-based attorney Bryan Freedom is representing both Carlson and Lemon. Freedom has reportedly favorable breakup terms for hosts before, including Megyn Kelly’s departure from NBC News in 2019 and the “The Bachelor” host Chris Harrison in 2021. . .

The New York Times noted that Lemon’s retainer of “aggressive Hollywood litigator” Freedom was a “clear sign of acrimony.”

Carlson’s exit from Fox News sent shockwaves through the political and media landscape.

Former President Donald Trump wrote that Carlson’s departure would be a big blow to cable news as well as America. (Read more from “Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon Hire Same Lawyer after Their Ousters” HERE)
