May Day isn’t something to be celebrated in America; it’s for failed socialist and communist states like Russia and China. Leftist educators pushing our kids to take the day off aren’t teaching them how these failed policies have oppressed millions around the globe. Let’s instead celebrate freedom, liberty and the American dream—we should strive for success, not condemn it.

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Matthew 28:5-6 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.” 🙏

He is Risen.

The Real Cost of DIY: Why Your Website Deserves a Professional Building a business website involves three real costs: money, time, and opportunity. Most business owners only price the first one. DIY Looks Affordable Until You Do the Math Builder platforms deliver on their advertised price point, and stop there. What that monthly fee leaves out is everything a real business website actually needs: a custom domain, a premium theme that stands apart from the competition, and the plugins required for security, SEO, and anything beyond a basic contact form. Those add up fast. What adds up faster is your time. Every hour spent researching platforms, watching tutorial videos, troubleshooting plugin conflicts, or diagnosing why your homepage looks broken on mobile is an hour away from sales, strategy, and customers. For most business owners, that lost productivity costs significantly more than hiring a professional from the start. AI Builders Promise Everything and Deliver Generic AI website builders are the newest version of that same promise: a complete site in minutes. For a quick placeholder or a proof of concept, they can work. For a competitive business website, they consistently fall short in three specific ways. First, strategy. An AI tool has no way to understand who your customers are, what problems you solve for them, or how to structure a page so visitors actually convert. It will generate a layout. It will not generate a conversion path. Second, design. AI-generated sites tend to look like AI-generated sites. The layouts are predictable, the visual language is generic, and the brand cohesion that makes a business memorable is absent. Third, flexibility. Customization on most AI platforms hits a ceiling quickly. When your business grows and the site cannot keep up, you are looking at a full rebuild. That technical debt makes the early savings disappear entirely. What a Professional Actually Builds A professional developer goes well beyond aesthetics, bringing business thinking to architecture, performance, and automation that shapes how your site performs for years. Think: Vision. On the SEO side, that means clean URL structures, optimized page speed, and schema markup that helps search engines understand exactly what your content means. That last point increasingly determines whether you show up in AI-powered search overviews, not just traditional results. On the operations side, a skilled developer connects your website directly to the tools you already use. Contact form submissions that automatically create leads in your CRM. Appointment bookings that sync to your calendar without someone manually entering data. These integrations reduce errors, save hours each week, and create a smoother experience for your customers. On the security side, WordPress powers more than 40% of the web — a scale that makes it a more prominent target than most platforms, not a more vulnerable one. A professional implements firewalls, malware scanning, and a proactive update cadence that protects your customer data and your reputation before a breach ever happens. After Launch, the Work Continues A website requires ongoing attention to stay secure, fast, and aligned with where your business is going. A professional maintenance relationship handles the things most business owners do not have time or expertise for: software updates, security monitoring, reliable backups, and performance checks. More importantly, it means having a partner who already knows your site's architecture when you need a new campaign landing page, a product update, or an emergency fix at an inconvenient time. The Investment That Compounds Businesses that treat their website as a cost to minimize tend to rebuild it more than once. Businesses that treat it as a strategic asset tend to grow on top of it, because the foundation was built to support growth from the start. If you are ready to stop pouring time into an ever-changing learning curve and move forward with a professional website and marketing strategy, that is exactly the kind of work we do at Arclight Digital.

AI website builders can spin up a site in minutes. What they can't do: understand your customers, optimize for conversions, or scale with your business. Fast isn't the same as good. Generic isn't the same as competitive. Hire my firm to get it done right: arclight.co

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth. Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product. This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

I generally hate AI, but this “Star Wars” takedown of Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper is tremendous… 😂

@JDVance How considerate they are, too, for everyone else staying at that hotel.

🇺🇸🇭🇳 BREAKING: PARDONED HONDURAS PRESIDENT COMMENTS ON MADURO CAPTURE Did you know 3 years ago, the U.S. extradited the President of Honduras on similar charges to Maduro? Unlike Maduro though, President Juan Orlando Hernandez was democratically elected, and was praised by the U.S. for years for CRACKING DOWN on drug trafficking, the exact opposite of Maduro. Yet he was still jailed under the Biden administration, in what many believe was politically motivated. Well, Trump pardoned him, and his party just won the; test election in Honduras. I interviewed the former President and asked for his thoughts on the capture of the leader of his neighboring country, Venezuela. Here’s his response:

Nobody knew about Johnny Carson’s political views because he thought his job was to make all Americans laugh, not preach about politics. That’s why he was the most popular late-night host ever. America desperately needs another Carson.
