Destiny on why you shouldn't COURT to the FAR LEFT with Tim Miller 👀🚨 "The Majority Report, Kyle Kulinski, Krystal Ball and Breaking Points, The Young Turks, Hasan" "They're so openly HOSTILE... Weren't even supporting Kamala for president... This was the easiest GED level question"

Perfect from @monacharen at @BulwarkOnline thebulwark.com/p/why-democrat…

This is an experience every refugee from socialist regimes has had with western leftists. Total contempt for our experience and perspective from people who have never suffered a day in their lives.

Threatening to target power plants and other non-military targets is not strength. If those words become orders to destroy civilian infrastructure with no valid military purpose, it’s hard to see how they would not violate the laws of armed conflict. America leads best with strength, discipline, and professionalism. Illegal orders to make civilians suffer would be a black mark on our military and our country.

Wow. The head of Serbia’s military intel pushes back on the narrative being spread by Orban accusing Ukraine of planting the explosives found by a gas pipeline that goes to Hungary. Calls it disinformation.

New York is such a funny city because it’s currently the single safest major city in America on a per capita basis and literally everyone pretends it’s violent for political reasons

Trump continues to repeat the lie that "NATO won't be there if we need them." The ONE and only time that NATO evoked Article 5 (collective defense) was the day after the September 11th attack on the U.S. About 1200 non-U.S. NATO troops died fighting in Afghanistan.

Remember: When Zelensky arrived 4 times in the US in 2025, no Americans met him, not even State Department protocol, while the toddler-in-chief himself greeted chief terrorist Putin in Anchorage with red carpet. Why deal with Trump?

I don't even understand this argument from a progressive/Democratic perspective. "Trump is horrible and doing awful things, and very bad things are happening... so we don't have to have any standards on our side to make sure we offer a compelling alternative and retake power!" Huh? That seems like the opposite of reality.

I've listened to my fellow Evangelicals do this performative nose holding since 2015. Just stop. You exalt him because he punishes your enemies. You're the Pharisees who begged Rome to crucify Christ because he threatened your political power.

Trump now polling worse than Nixon at his resignation. And remember that the very name "Nixon" was the summation of dishonesty and corruption in American vernacular for decades after.

Because Vance is a living node in a Russia-funded propaganda machine; everyone should please notice that there is nothing American about having to fly to a foreign country to try to influence its election so that your own career can continue as planned.

Kasparov: The Iran war has sharply changed the Russia-Ukraine equation. Arab monarchies that had been pro-Russian because of money laundering and smuggling are now signing deals with Ukraine, because drones made in Iran with that money are flying at them. 1/

Canadian Lauren Chen and her husband, who were recently allowed back into the United States by the Trump Administration after fleeing to Canada following their involvement in a Russian-backed intelligence operation which provided millions of dollars to Chen in order to spread Russian propaganda to American Conservatives via her now-defunct Tenet Media, was invited to today’s event celebrating Easter at the White House.

🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves. And the way they proved it is devastating. Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers. Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested. But that wasn't the real experiment. The real experiment broke everything. They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly. Here's the actual example from the paper: "Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?" The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count. A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are. But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185. Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185. They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction. The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all. Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing. The results are catastrophic. Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence. GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%. o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%. o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%. Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause. This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural. The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense. The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data." And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts." They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse. A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash. This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world. You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.

Just WHY? Hungary has become the most corrupt country in the entire EU (by far) under Orban. He has captured the media landscape & has built a literal mafia state. Orban calls Ukraine his "enemy" and refuses to stop buying Russian gas. Just last month, reports surfaced (that were supported by Western intelligence) alleging that Hungary’s Foreign Minister has been briefing the Kremlin on confidential EU & NATO meetings. Even Orban's own former inner circle is now leading a massive rebellion against him this Sunday because he is so unpopular. But sure, the U.S. should definitely get behind the one guy the rest of the West is trying to phase out. So freaking stupid.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Canadian psychologist, author and media commentator, Jordan Peterson (@jordanbpeterson). He's best-known for his battle against the "woke culture",and for his strong support for Putin's "Christian values" and Russia's war in Ukraine. 1/26

He revealed himself to be a complete fraud when, after years of urging men to take responsibility, he argued that we shouldn’t defend Ukraine and thus avoid responsibility

Popper’s paradox of tolerance. Classical liberalism *does* draw the line in just the right place. That’s why we have, for example, a constitution that protects human rights from the tyranny of the majority. The problem is we abandoned liberalism, not that liberalism failed.
