Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books.
And it will get much better.

The Lies of Joe Biden and his Lying Enablers
Joe Biden promised, emphatically, at least six times—all pre-election—that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden.
His media lapdogs loudly resonated those boasts.
They claimed at the time Biden was a historic, Sir Thomas More-like protector of jurisprudence, morality, and our Constitution—sacrificing even his son on the altar of the “the rule of law”.
All again shameful lies.
These now disgraced talking heads have no more apologized than they did when they championed their “51 intelligence authorities” scam, who swore Hunter’s laptop was a product of Russian chicanery.
(No one has been more slavishly and obsequiously wrong about all the Biden pardon lies than the notorious Andrew Weissmann of the failed Mueller witch-hunt “dream team”.)
Anyone who knew the long, sordid history of Joe Biden (e.g., how he defamed the truck driver who was not culpable in his first wife’s fatal crash or was caught lying about his entire college career, and plagiarized his 1988 campaign speech), knew he was lying when he made these serial promises.
His letter excusing his pardon was worse than the lie itself.
Biden essentially pardoned himself by exempting all of Hunter's crimes since 2014, in which Hunter had enriched the Biden crime family cartel due to ‘the big guy’s’ opportune calls and appearances with foreign crooks.
Joe knew that only a silenced Hunter would save the Biden syndicate after January 20, 2025.
Certainly, he feared and remembered how reckless Hunter could be, even when “clean"—grifting donors as a "paintbrush in the mouth” artist to show his father-president that he was capable of bringing down the entire clan.
Biden also knew of Hunter's laptop bitter references to the “Big Guy" and Mr. “Ten-percent,” who grabbed Hunter’s grifted money and free stuff, but never appreciated Hunter’s dirty, bagman role that made them all rich.
Recall Hunter's own lawyers at one point threatened to call in President Joe Biden and embarrass him by putting him on the stand to testify in Hunter's tax cheating case—a threat that prompted a scared DOJ to craft its original sweetheart deal.
So, Biden was terrified of a loose-cannon, bigmouth Hunter.
After November 5, whether Joe or Harris won or lost the 2024 election, he was always going to pardon Hunter, who was always also a relapse away from bringing them all down.
Biden also continues to empower Trump (remember his earlier MAGA hat trick, his siding with Trump in Harris’s feud with Ron De Santis, his distraction hijack of Harris’s speech when he libeled half the country as “garbage”, etc.).
The result of his pardon is that we are talking now about the pardon and not the mad-dog effort to take down Kash Patel.
The sanctimonious “rule of law” and “expert class” arguments of the discredited Left used to attack Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK, Jr. are now rendered a joke.
The fake 2024 leftwing polls, the nonexistent Harris “momentum”, the $2 billion squandered and unaudited Harris campaign and PAC money, and the ankle-biting blame game among Harris versus Biden apparatchiks have all discredited both the Left and the media.
And now Biden has hammered in the coffin nails. The Internet is awash in clips of almost every leftwing pundit once singing Biden’s praises for not pardoning his son—followed by either their silence or even more pathetic rationalizations of his pardon.
A final note.
Biden wrote that the IRS never seeks criminal charges against tax cheats who eventually pay up and claim addiction.
That too is yet another lie.
Claiming drug-crazed befuddlement has never been a legitimate exemption from tax fraud charges or jail time, especially when one is otherwise clear-headed enough at the time to earn well over an unreported $1 million a year.
Moreover, Hunter had already been excused from much earlier tax delinquency now beyond the statute of limitations.
Also tax-exempt was the entire Biden family. All of them apparently never paid full income taxes on their illicit and hidden incomes (remember the fake claim of “loan repayment” on Jim’s family syndicate disbursement check to Joe?).
And to pay some of his back taxes, Hunter had his attorney pay them as a “loan”—but apparently without a formal agreement, interest payments, or evidence Hunter ever paid him back, suggesting it was de facto a tax-free gift?
The Biden profits from selling out their country did not all go up Hunter’s nose or to his women.
Three generations of Bidens lived lifestyles impossible without foreign money income, predicated on Joe putting his own nation’s interest subservient to those of his foreign paymasters.
The schemes to hide Joe Biden’s long-standing dementia, the coup that nullified 14-million primary voters and crowned the Harris mediocrity, the lies to protect the Biden crime syndicate, and the final pardon will cement Joe Biden’s reputation not just as the most incompetent but also as the most corrupt and dishonest president in U.S. history.
The Fumes of the 2024 Election
Three weeks after the election and the fallout from it, we are starting to appreciate the clarity of the vote. It explains much of the present, the past, and the future.
Consider the following:
1. Even Donald Trump’s enemies are beginning, albeit sheepishly and begrudgingly, to concede he proved indestructible in a way they never imagined. After failed collusion hoaxes, laptop disinformation ruses, the 2020 mail-in ballot ambush, two impeachments, the attempt at ballot removal, five criminal and civil lawfare cases coordinated by the White House, 95% negative media coverage, and $5 billion in 2020 and 2024 political campaign hit ads and vituperation, and two assassinations, the Left failed to defeat him, to bankrupt him, to jail him, and to destroy him.
And now like an exasperated Wile E. Coyote, they have developed a bizarre mixture of fear and respect, venomous though it is, for the unstoppable beep-beep Roadrunner Trump.
2. For all the recent spin, post-election Kamala Harris is going nowhere but to a Dukakis-like retirement. She proved the worst Democratic candidate since the 1972 catastrophe of George McGovern (who was a sincere person, and a decorated WWII B-24 combat bomber pilot).
She will make no Trump 2021-4 comeback, no election victory in 2028, as either president or California governor. Her moneybags donors are exasperated that she and her PACs blew $1.5 billion of their money in little more than a 100-day campaign��while paying for private jets, concerts, and the likes of Al Sharpton, Beyonce, Oprah, etc. to endorse/interview her.
She ran five points behind Joe Biden four years earlier in California. The widely disliked Adam Schiff outperformed Harris this year in his preordained California Senate race. If she runs either for president or governor, she will have to explain in leftwing primaries or in a leftwing state her three-month metamorphosis to a fracker, a crime-fighter, a border hawk, a deporter—or revert back to her true 40-year leftwing persona, claiming temporary flip-flop amnesia in 2024.
3. Trump’s 2024 victory clarifies his close 2020 Electoral College loss. Four years ago voters were already tired of the Left, approved of the Trump tenure, and were willing to reelect him, had not the undreamed-of, perfect-storm quadrafecta followed—in part through Leftist machinations: the catastrophic COVID-national lockdown, the nonending 2020 post-George Floyd summer and autumn riots and chaos, the 2020 radical transformation from 30 percent to 70 percent mail-in ballots in swing states and the mysterious plunge in ballot rejection rates by a magnitude, and, finally, the cover-up of a demented Joe Biden and his basement campaign, aided by the Covid lockdown, and his handlers who outsourced his ‘ol’ Joe Biden, the moderate from Scranton’ puppet candidacy to the lapdog media.
4. The Left is still catatonic and barking at the moon. Everything they told us was revealed a lie. Harris was never ahead. She never enjoyed a “bump. She was never soaring on joy. She was never 3 points ahead in Iowa or creating a historic Trump “gender gap” deficit with women voters (Trump gained a larger percentage of women voters than in either 2020 or 2016, and he increased his lead with men from both past elections.)
The leftwing polls were mostly rigged to gin up momentum, fund-raising, and voter turnout—and were refuted and embarrassed once again by the accuracy of the sneered-at, but always professional AltasIntel/Trafalgar/Rasmussen triad. The usual crowd of the likes of Rachel Maddow, Elizabeth Warren, Joy Reid, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Al Sharpton, etc. are now serially projecting that Donald Trump might do to the DOJ, the CIA, the FBI, the IRS, and the Pentagon what they did in the past to Trump—and what they most certainly would do to warp these agencies if they were now Trump and they had suffered what Trump had at their own hands.
5. Trump is becoming a 1961-63 “New Frontier” JFK-like figure well beyond the drafting of RFK, Jr.: the reboot of space exploration, the shift from a can’t do to a can-do, get- moving-again national exuberance, the proposed tax cuts, strong defense, and deterrence, and a renewed hope that the era of racial demagoguery is passing, as taking the knee morphed to dancing to YMCA.
6. To paraphrase Churchill, the 2024 victory is not the end of the beginning of the radical left, but the end of the beginning of the effort to do so. There is no more stomach for spaghetti-arm Antifa rioting, BLM-inspired looting, and pampered foreign students spouting anti-Semitic venom while breaking their hosts’ laws. Israel has proved the feared Hezbollah and death-to-Israel Iran were paper tigers and blowhards. The exhausted public has little tolerance left for toppling statues, renaming iconic buildings and streets, DEI venom, transgendered chauvinism, lectures from bicoastal grandees on why we must buy EV cars, throw away our gas stoves, flash our pronouns, study Professor Kendi, worship the moronic Ta-Nehisi Coates, or listen to the claptrap of sanctimonious Pete Buttigieg and Alejandro Mayorkas
7. Finally, there remains worry about the status of the present and future president. Joe Biden has now descended into utter incoherence without even the past lies that he is fit as a fiddle, strong as an ox—from wandering into the jungle to mumbling at the podium in a bizarre untranslated language unknown to man. Can he finish the next 60 days, as the world is on the way to a veritable DefCon 1? Unhinged Harris supporters talk of a 2-month, 25-Amendment imposed President Harris, an insane idea except not so insane when one listens and watches the current state of Joe Biden.
By the same token, there is increased anxiety about the safety of Donald Trump. The post-election Left is so unhinged, so crazy and the Secret Service is so suspect in its incompetence, that the nation is rightly worried about Trump’s security, who is increasingly seen as the last great hope to stop the madness.
