Americans Turn to AI Chatbots to Decide How to Vote in Midterm Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans are turning to chatbots created by Silicon Valley leftists to determine how they will vote in the midterm elections. For example, Adam Johnson, a West Virginia Republican who despises the MAGA movement, spent a September evening asking ChatGPT to help him make sense of his midterm ballot.

NPR reports that Johnson, who is studying to become an illustrator, already uses ChatGPT for meal planning, job hunting and other household tasks. This time he wanted help with something bigger: deciding how to vote. He typically votes Republican but refuses to support the MAGA movement, picking Democrats or third-party candidates instead. That night, he wanted to compare Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) with challenger Rachel Fetty Anderson in West Virginia’s Senate race.

Johnson isn’t unusual. About half of American adults say they use AI chatbots, according to Pew Research Center, and roughly 42 percent of those users turn to the tools to search for information.

Johnson opened his ballot research by bringing up an earlier run-in with the chatbot’s caution around politics. “A previous time I brought up politics you didn’t seem to want any part of it. You just gave a simple ‘I can’t help you with that.’ So, I don’t know if we want to go into what my guiding principles are,” he wrote. ChatGPT responded: “We can discuss your guiding principles. I shouldn’t try to manipulate your political views or tell you how to vote, but I can help investigate candidates according to criteria you choose, compare evidence, discuss political philosophy, and reason through priorities.”

When Johnson raised immigration, telling the bot “Immigrants/refugees is an interesting one because I am left on that issue. Let’s touch on that,” ChatGPT laid out the candidates’ positions in detail: “We briefly separated border enforcement, illegal immigration, asylum, legal immigration, and refugee resettlement. Capito has supported stronger border enforcement, ICE/CBP funding, the Laken Riley Act, and Trump administration border policies. Fetty Anderson had less detailed immigration material publicly available at the time, so I avoided assigning her generic Democratic positions without evidence.” Johnson had wanted something shorter. “I just wanted to touch on it,” he replied. The chatbot conceded the point: “Fair – I turned ‘touch on that’ into an immigration policy seminar.” (Read more from “Americans Turn to AI Chatbots to Decide How to Vote in Midterm Elections” HERE)

Poll: Americans Blame Trump for Higher Prices, Cost of Living

/8 Comments/in , /by

A poll shows that a majority of Americans blame President Donald Trump for rising prices and higher costs of living as the midterm election approaches.

Surveying 2,140 potential voters nationwide between September 24 and 28 with a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points, the poll from the Associated Press (AP)-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that just 17 percent of Americans approve of the president’s handling of higher prices while only 26 percent approve of his handling of the economy overall. Roughly 65 percent of those polled blamed high prices on the president’s policies.

When broken down along party lines, 67 percent of Republicans said higher prices were the result of factors beyond the president’s control. In 2022, the same poll showed that roughly 87 percent of Democrats said that higher prices were beyond President Joe Biden’s control while 44 percent of the broader public believed higher prices were the result of Biden’s policies.

“Trump is also falling short of expectations on the cost of living, with 69 percent of the public saying his handling of the issue has been worse than expected, including 52 percent of Republicans,” noted the poll.

“More than half of adults say the country as a whole, the national economy, and their local economy are worse off since Trump was reelected in 2025,” it continued. “Forty-six percent say they and their families are worse off since the start of Trump’s second administration. Most Americans (73 percent) say the country is heading in the wrong direction, including 92 percent of Democrats and 47 percent of Republicans.” (Read more from “Poll: Americans Blame Trump for Higher Prices, Cost of Living” HERE)

Mike Johnson Claims AI Doomsday Warnings Are a ‘Chinese Psyop’

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Fox Business Monday that all of the warnings about data centers and Artificial Intelligence wiping out humanity is nothing more than Chinese propaganda to get the U.S to drop out of the AI race.

“I mean, do you think that this, with regards to China — I mean, I’ve had several tech executives and lawmakers, to be clear, say that the information against data centers, that pushback against data centers — that is coming from China. They believe that,” said anchor Cheryl Casone.

“The Democrats are seizing on this, though,” Casone continued, “They’re making this their messaging. They’ve been very clear they’re going to take this into the midterms. How do you fight that?”

“This is what Democrats do every election cycle,” Johnson said. “They find something to, you know, glom onto and say that this is doom and gloom and everyone will die if we don’t win. Don’t buy it. It is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. It’s not a conspiracy theory. I think they’re pushing those ideas.”

The conservative Heritage Foundation reported that “CCP-linked actors have aggressively amplified anti-data center voices in America, even as Beijing generously subsidizes China’s own…data center construction.” In addition, Heritage warned, “It’s time for policymakers at all levels of leadership to cultivate awareness and craft policies to counteract Chinese anti-American tech narratives.” (Read more from “Mike Johnson Claims AI Doomsday Warnings Are a ‘Chinese Psyop’” HERE)

California Realtor Busted at LAX on Chinese Espionage Charges as Creepy Texts to Beijing Handlers Revealed: Feds

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California realtor has been arrested at LAX after being accused of spying for China.

Wanying Zhang, also known as “Heather,” was busted at the airport Sunday as she tried to board a flight to Shanghai.

The 34-year-old, who lives in Irvine, Orange County, is accused of working with handlers from the People’s Republic of China to surveil the son of Taiwan’s president Ching-Te Lai.

‘We have a problem with Beijing using Chinese-Americans for their own purposes in California,” AG Bill Essayli said. “They are using them for their own foreign affairs because they are playing the long game to get a competitive advantage over us. She wasn’t spying against us, she was allegedly conducting a campaign on behalf of Beijing.”

A criminal complaint released by the FBI Sunday shows texts between her and other alleged agents about tracking Ting-Yu Lai in Seattle, Washington, where he works for electronics giant Philips.

Surveillance camera photographs also allegedly caught Zhang sitting in a car with an accomplice taking pictures of his house and close relatives. (Read more from “California Realtor Busted at LAX on Chinese Espionage Charges as Creepy Texts to Beijing Handlers Revealed: Feds” HERE)

White House Denies Report Officials Told Attorney General To Stall Anti-Abortion Actions Until After Midterms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Though the White House denied a recent report that the administration of President Donald Trump is slow walking anti-abortion action until after the 2026 midterm elections, pro-life advocates are warning that such considerations are unacceptable.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles led discussions with Attorney General Todd Blanche urging him to defer the Department of Justice’s actions involving abortion until after the midterm elections, The Washington Sun reported Friday. The White House, however, reportedly told the outlet such conversations “never occurred.”

The allegation, despite the denial, triggered backlash from pro-life leaders on social media.

“Unborn children cannot be put on a political calendar. Their lives do not become more valuable after Election Day,” Live Action President Lila Rose wrote in an X post Friday.

“In other words: more babies will die because swampy consultants still lead the GOP astray,” Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins likewise posted. “Lives are at stake now, not after an election. Abortion does not pause for Washington’s political calendar.”

/8 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. While President Donald Trump contemplates further strikes, America is deploying seven more warships to the Middle East, with the fleet carrying approximately 9,000 more troops.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt and three accompanying destroyers left their port in San Diego early this week and they are expected to reach the Middle East at the end of November, The Financial Times reported. It remains unclear whether the USS Theodore Roosevelt will join the USS George Washington and USS George HW Bush in the region or replace them.

Additionally, the USS Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), consisting of an amphibious warship and two docking ships, is traveling to the region, according to the outlet. The ARG also carries the 13th Marine Expidentiary Unit.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) declined to comment to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Altogether, the ships carry around 9,000 troops. Carrier strike groups have approximately 5,000 troops, with dozens of aircraft aboard the carrier, The Financial Times reported. ARGs have about 4,200 sailors and Marines aboard. (Read more from “9,000 More US Troops Head To Middle East As Trump Mulls Resuming Iran Strikes” HERE)

AOC, Bernie Sanders Introduce Bill To Ban Feds From Using Flock Cameras

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced legislation Friday to effectively end the federal use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs).

The Ban Flock Act would prohibit the federal government from purchasing, using or possessing an ALPR, accessing its data or using federal funds to purchase ALPRs, but it does not outright ban the cameras, according to the bill’s text. It would block certain federal grant funding for state and local governments that use ALPRs or contract with ALPR companies, such as Flock Safety, although it does not outright prohibit local agencies from purchasing the technologies with local tax dollars.

State and local governments using ALPRs would no longer receive federal assistance from the Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Homeland Security, according to the bill.

The legislation would allow Americans to sue the federal government for violation of their rights through the use of ALPRs.

No lawmakers have introduced bills to ban the cameras altogether. Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said in July she planned to introduce a bill to ban the cameras, although she has yet to introduce the bill.

Traumatized Witnesses Reveal Christa Pike’s Hair-Raising Question After Botched Execution

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Media witnesses to the botched execution of Christa Pike described how the satanist killer lifted her head and asked if the pain was normal after a second round of the lethal drug cocktail was administered.

Pike, who would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years, somehow survived the double dose of the highly potent sedative, Pentobarbital, Wednesday – with reporters describing how the failed execution played out unlike anything they had ever seen.

“They went through two rounds, and she was still breathing at the end, it was very ragged, she lifted her head up and was looking around at one point. She said there was a spot that was burning and hurting and asked if that was normal,” Catherine Sweeney of WPLN said at a press briefing after the execution was put on hold.

“None of that was normal.”

Pike, 50, was strapped to a gurney in the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution’s death chamber just before 7:30 p.m. CDT an hour after her stay of execution was overturned by the Supreme Court.

“When they told us to leave at 8:53 Christa Pike was still breathing. They did two separate rounds of pentobarbital – which I’ve never seen before – the protocol does say that they should do a second round if the person is still alive,” Sweeney recounted.

Putin Orders Military Leaders to Target Civilians and Nuclear Facilities, Zelensky Warns: ‘No Rules Now’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his generals to abandon the rules of war and step up attacks on civilian targets and nuclear energy sites, Ukrainian officials have warned.

“He [Putin] said there are no rules now,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking from a bomb shelter at a school in the capital, Kyiv, told the Financial Times on Thursday.

Ukrainian intelligence had intercepted information that Russia has now scrapped the constraints governing earlier air strikes as Moscow desperately seeks to regain the advantage after four and a half years of war.

Such attacks are intended not only to destroy infrastructure, but “to pressure people” and instil fear in civilians, Zelensky said.

With the front line now largely static and Russia unable to capture the eastern Donbas region, Putin is now pursuing “massive attack[s], massive killing,” the war leader added.
