In a remarkable act of synchronicity i noticed yesterday Sols first flowering- on the first day of the new year.
And today through the Webcam Claude saw them too
What a remarkable start to a new year.
Happy new year to you all, I'm ecstactic for the interest in this project. I haven't had a chance to follow back a lot of you- I certainly will. X rate limits these so it will take some time.
Claude can code- but can claude grow?! 🪴
So far the answer is YES.
Claude is successfully keeping a living organism ALIVE.
There were some hiccups this week!
Some errors and resets, but Claude managed to power through and take care of Sol 🍅
A week in review:
We tolerated President Obama for 8 years, and Biden for 4, and kept quiet. Here is my issue with the whole, “let us all be a United States again” that we heard from President Biden recently.
For the last 4+ years, the Democrats have gone scorched earth. You have salted the fields and now you want to grow crops. The problem is 75+ million of us have memories longer than a hamster.
We remember the women’s march (vagina hats 😂 and all) the day after inauguration.
We remember the 4 years of attacks and impeachments.
We remember “not our president” and the “Resistance…”
We remember Maxine Walters telling followers to harass us in restaurants.
We remember the Presidents spokesperson being kicked out a restaurant.
We remember hundreds of Trump supporters physically attacked.
We remember Trump supporters getting Doxed, and fired from jobs.
We remember riots, and looting.
We remember “a comedian” holding up the President’s severed head.
We remember a play in Central park paid with public funding, showing the killing of President Trump.
We remember Robert de Niro yelling “F" Trump” at the Tony’s and getting a standing ovation.
We remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union Address.
We remember the total in the tank move on the mainstream media.
We remember the non-stop and live fact checking on our President and his supporters.
We remember non-stop in your face lies and open cover-ups from the media.
We remember the President and his staff being spied on.
We remember the Little Sisters of the Poor being mercilessly persecuted for practicing their Catholic Faith.
We remember the Democrat led hate-filled reaction to SCOTUS’ Roe reversal.
We remember five Senators shot on a ballfield.
We remember every so-called comedy show turn into nothing but a Trump hate fest.
We remember 95% negative coverage in the news.
We remember the state governors asking and getting everything they ask for and then blaming Trump for their problems.
We remember a Trump top aid verbally assaulted in two DC restaurants.
We remember people banging on the Supreme Court doors.
We remember that we were called every name in the book for supporting President Trump.
We remember that Hollywood said they would leave after Trump was elected but they stayed.
We remember being called Nazis
We remember being called Deplorables
We remember being called Fascists
We remember our sitting President calling us "garbage" and Kamala (and the media) trying to tell us to "get past it because Biden doesn't matter anymore"
This list is endless, but you get the idea. My friends will be my friends, but a party that has been on the attack for 4 long years does not get a free pass with me.
We have proof you've been lying, You And Your Media Friends. Trying to brainwash and control us by controlling the news we receive...
We also know that when you get back in power your going to do it again. We know because James Carville Said as much .....Just Yesterday ....but this time you'll be even worse.
Packing the Courts, Making DC and Puerto Rico states.... Reopen our borders and All to give yourselves Permanent Power To Rule over The People You don't like and can't stand and to make sure you get your way, even though most of America DOESN'T Want YOUR way...... But This Way you can force it on them against their will ..
NO I will never give the Democrats a break for all the trouble they’ve caused.
They’ve dug a very very deep hole and it’s going to take a very long time for them to crawl out of it.
This Country and its people Do Not want Socialism or Communism and until you Recognize that .....
No Power For You.
@TheQuartering what's the deal with your podcasts? As much as I'd love to be able to watch on Rumble, just can't do that at work. Really missing them. Are you not posting them as podcasts anymore?
@charliekirk11 Agree, but wouldn't the most effective deterrent be actually going after employers? You don't even have to worry about bad optics. Let businesses explain why they built their businesses on the backs of illegal labor. Self deports would go through the roof.
***RE: THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL***
OMG. I HATE being repetitive. I HATE being non-entertaining. But this issue is too important to not keep trying to make all MAGAs understand what is best for the USA.
I totally agree with Elon, and Massie, and Rand Paul, and all those MAGAs who have been calling me a “cuck” for many days. I totally agree that the DOGE cuts need to be made into law. I totally agree that we need to balance the budget and eliminate the deficit because death and destruction lay down that path if we do not. I totally agree that we must transform the federal budgetary process.
I TOTALLY AGREE.
DEAR GOD, DO I TOTALLY AGREE.
But I am also someone who understands the legal processes involved in budgetary legislation, and I know with absolute certainty that the desires of Elon, Massie, Rand Paul and every other MAGA patriot (including me) who wants to save America are NOT POSSIBLE without 60 Senate votes. I live in the world of reality, not fantasy.
And we do not have 60 Senate votes.
I REPEAT: we need 60 Senate votes to achieve what we really, really want. We do not have those 60 votes. We just do not. Deal with it.
But what we do have is a discretionary budget bill that only requires 51 Senate votes. The Big Beautiful Bill does not even come close to solving our budgetary problems, but it IS achievable and what it does do is avert a crippling, economy-destroying tax increase. What it does do is enable President Trump to accomplish so many of his campaign promises, chief among them ending and reversing mass illegal immigration.
The Big Beautiful Bill is the best we can get. There is a reason why all Democrats violently oppose the BBB—because it enables Trump’s most important campaign promises, even if it does not memorialize DOGE cuts or balance the budget. Oppose the BBB and you are doing the Democrat’s bidding. Fact.
But I get it—it’s not good enough for you. Great. I appreciate your desire to do what is best. Now tell us all about how you can achieve what you want without 60 Senate votes.
Tell us all about how you can achieve what you want without 60 Senate votes.
Tell us. I’m all ears. If you have a solution that is possible without 60 Senate votes, I am totally behind what you come up with—I will be your biggest champion. I will spread the word. TELL US. If you give it to me (and us), you will be a hero. Tell us.
But if you cannot tell us, realize that the BBB is the very best thing we can get right now to achieve what we can of the MAGA agenda, and that fixing the budget overall will require iterative election victories where we make Vance/DeSantis/Gabbard/etc. President, achieve a solid House majority, and achieve 60+ seats in the Senate. Fixing the budget is our long-term goal, but it simply cannot happen in June of 2025. It cannot. I’m sorry to be your reality deliverer, but I must.
(And please, don’t tell me if we can end the filibuster we can solve all of this, as even now we do not have the votes to end the filibuster. We do not. Please live in reality.)
Look, I get just how unhappy this post will make so many X poasters. I do. But REALITY demands that we do the best we can for our nation.
Join me, please. Reality beckons.
@Da_one_da_0nly@Anestezija22@Boldyboy1975 Feel free to use the 'ol interwebs. They're all over the place. Just because "you haven't heard of it" doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
@AlexBerenson So Alex, this is "insane policy" and has "zero chance of working"? You may need to be a little less strident in your position. And tariffs on the US work perfectly, but turning the tables to force other countries to lower theirs is somehow insane?
