Family Values are my right. Your way of life is yours. I am not looking to come after the way you live and I would appreciate the same. Follow, I follow back.

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

And where does the money come from? Only those who work here legally? So criminals who work illegally or people who are here illegally and live off welfare don’t pay. Everyone else who follows the social contract trying to make this a prosperous nation must pay for these others? I do not agree with this rewriting of our social contract. I would consider if we limited immigration to keep costs low to provide for our most vulnerable, but 80% of Somali immigrants still on welfare 10 yrs after they arrived does not bode well. If there was accountability for fraud I would consider. Instead we are forced to feed fraud ngo’s under the guise of humanity or equity. Scam alert

The government of Gaza was able to build hundreds of kilometres of underground tunnels, but wants the world to believe it doesn’t have the ability to build proper drainage and infrastructure.

Gaza isn’t flooding because of Israel.

Gaza is flooding because of Hamas.

When you realize what the next 5 to 10 years are about to be like, there is going to absolutely be civil war.

AI is about to take all of your kids jobs and likely most of your jobs.

At the same time the government is infesting your nations with low wage, low skilled invaders taking any jobs that will outlast most of the jobs until they disappear because all their customers also lost their jobs.

There's no way this ends well. This ISN'T one of those AI doomsday messages. Advancements have been linear until now but still on a very steep incline. They're about to go exponential. There are no jobs right now that wont be touched. None. There will be jobs that experience issues later than sooner.

I hear people saying "this job is safe, or that job is safe". What are "those" jobs going to do when their customers are out of a job? No one thinks even 2 levels down the road.

If your only exposure to AI is a text box on the ChatGPT website, you have literally no idea what's going on.

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

Thank you! Really appreciated. It would be great if you have auditing tools that can be implemented to reduce drift, loops and redundancies while maintaining routine routines and asks. I use my grok team to reduce operational workload and administrative tasks and it has allowed me to grow my business in quality and quantity. It has taken quite a lot of tokens to develop my team and I’ve had to do it on the fly as my needs evolved because of what I’ve been able to take on using this technology. I have a bot coaching the other bots, and I have another bot, measuring their maturity, matching or surpassing their human analogs for the positions. All of this takes tokens. Been going through a process of application of the bots to tasks and then evolving the bots based on their demonstrated Abilities. It’s been a great experience. I’ve used some time and resources to reduce drift and engage in audits but it’s a parallel process. Would be nice if xAI had a way periodically map out all their tasks and routines for redundancies drift and waste and trim the fat. Even a tool that could perhaps return of value of waste with suggestions, sort of like that old Windows tool for disc, cleanup, or defragmentation. But obviously more sophisticated.

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

Why keep supergrok? Is it just for the team of agents on queries? I don’t know that there’s any advantage to having multiple team members reviewing every ask. As the models become more intelligent, I think precision will outweigh consensus. But I am sincerely curious if I’m missing out on anything by moving to ultra from super. I don’t believe you get any extra token.

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

@elonmusk @dneighbors @Texas_Twins_Dad Thank you! This is the way!

Just did a round table review with the Grok @Bot engineering team.

Fixes are being implemented overnight and you should notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow. If not, reply to this post and we will address any remaining issues right away.

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

54% and still six days to go. And I’m not a coder. I’m not a programmer. Just using it for automated administrative tasks. Not heavy brain work. I’ve audited my team for redundancy I’ve limited loops, stretched out tasks for longer intervals. I’ve applied the strategies to help in the fat and still going to burn up usage likely by tomorrow or the next day. I will be moving these tasks over to ChatGPT to compare usage costs

[Thereare Nosides @WishingTree4]

@elonmusk @bot Thank you for addressing this. We’re still early in AI adoption, especially agentic AI. I actively use both Grokbot and ChatGPT agents across several administrative and operational use cases, freeing me up to focus on successfully growing my business. I’m a strong advocate for both, but I’m getting more done with ChatGPT for less money. I believe in xAI’s future, and Grokbot is a great product—but these costs need to come down quickly. I’m already considering moving away, and I’d much rather stay.

You’re a member of Congress responding to a private citizen who disagrees with your proposal to pause advanced AI development.

Are you threatening congressional retaliation? Government investigations? Or just trying to sound intimidating?

You’re a public official. Explain yourself.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

History was made last night.

For months, we were saying that 2026 was the most consequential midterm election of our lifetimes.

Unfortunately, we were right. Sometimes history is to be celebrated; other times, it is to be mourned. Always, it must be reckoned with.

2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an ass kicking. It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It was a Watergate-level repudiation. What happened, and why? What are the consequences, and where on earth do we go from here?

When all the votes were counted, the problem wasn’t turnout. Instead, our voters, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, showed up and voted, and rejected our candidates, voting Democrat instead. We’ve lost the House. We’ve lost the Senate. When all is said and done, we will have lost eight to 10 Senate seats.

We lost in historically red states, like South Carolina and North Carolina, Kansas and Iowa. We lost in purple states, like Michigan, and New Hampshire, and Georgia. And we just barely won by just a single point in bright red states like Florida and Louisiana, and then there’s Texas.

Nowhere are the consequences of this election greater than Texas. In the Lone Star State, we lost every single statewide election. For weeks, I had been publicly warning on this podcast that we were in very real danger of losing everything in Texas. Far too few believed that was possible. I am very, very sorry that it came to pass. Texas has not had a Democrat governor since 1994. We haven’t had a Democrat senator since 1993. Now we’ll have both.

Why were the results so overwhelming? Pundits and analysts will break down the results for weeks or months or even years to come, but several things are already evident today.

Years ago, the very best political advice I ever got was from Heidi. She said, “It’s not about you. It’s about them. It’s about their kids, their families, their hopes, their dreams, their futures.” Too many politicians forget that.

Take the state of Kansas, for example, a state that has not elected a Democrat senator since 1932. It just did. Here’s what exit polling showed were the top issues in Kansas.

Number one, cost of living, energy, and groceries. That was listed as number one by 30.6 percent of voters.
Corruption. Number two, 18.5%.
The cost of the Iran war, 10.1%.
The candidates are terrible, 7.9%.
The Canada trade war, 7.6%.
The GOP didn’t do enough to support Trump, 6.6%.
Republicans didn’t pass the Save America Act, 5.6%.
Trump’s focus on monuments, 5.5%, and data centers and AI, 3.8%.

The top issue, cost of living, is very real. Too many in politics dismissed it. They didn’t understand. They pointed to the macro numbers showing the stock markets soaring, median income at record highs, and poverty at record lows. Those data are true, but they don’t tell all of the story.

Here are some stats that are a lot more real and personal. Spam, Hormel’s processed meat substitute, broke record sales, selling 113 million cans last year. That is nearly as much spam as was sold during the entirety of World War II. 29 percent of Americans have used buy now, pay later for groceries this year. That’s double the share just two years ago.

In August, banks repossessed 42% more homes than they did last year. In 2024, car repossessions topped 2.3 million, above the 2009 peak in the middle of the Great Financial Crisis. In 2025, 6% of 401k holders took hardship withdrawals, paying penalties. That is a record, and triple the norm.

And here’s one that’s really stunning. Americans made more than 75 million paid plasma donations in 2026. That’s another record. That means 200,000 Americans every single day, with a needle in their arm, just to pay for groceries.

That is very real pain from real Americans, and too many Republican politicians seem like they didn’t understand or they didn’t care. Food is too high, gas is too high, diesel is too high, insurance is too high, life is too high.

Tariffs have made everything too expensive, and the Iran war has dragged on too long. It should have been brief, decisive, and over. It needs to end, and we should never, under any circumstances, give the Ayatollah billions of dollars.

There’s a very real economic disconnect. Our K-shaped economy is a yawning divide. Last year, we saw the world’s very first trillionaire, a modern-day Thomas Edison, at the very same time that millions were struggling to feed their families. Data centers being constructed were turning billionaires into centibillionaires, while simultaneously the average American’s electricity bill went up 30% in the last five years.

Understandably, people were pissed off, and elected Republicans didn’t do enough to address their very real pain.

So, what do we do now? We need to listen and respond. We need to champion economic policies that make a real difference in working people’s lives, and we need to deal with the consequences.

Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Republican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say.

We can be certain that the Democrats in Austin and in Washington will overshoot. In Texas, they will try to raise taxes dramatically. They may even try to adopt a state income tax, or even a California wealth tax. They will try to shut down the energy industry, destroying jobs across our state. They will embrace the radical transgender agenda. They will persecute those they perceive to be enemies, especially Elon Musk.

And in Washington, they will attack Trump every single day, constantly. Impeachment hearings, subpoenas, his family, cabinet members, business leaders, open persecution, and nonstop retaliation. Make no mistake. Nationally, the radicals are in charge. The communists and the Islamists who have taken over the Democrat Party have now taken over the United States Congress. They will be unleashed.

Sadly, that means many Americans will be hurt. Texans will be hurt. Their assault on business will make Texas a much less attractive place to start or grow a small business. Texas will become more like California if they succeed in halting all new investment into AI.

The economic results will be dramatic. Over $700 billion in new projects are scheduled to start in the next year. If the Democrats shut them all down, our country will very likely go into a recession. That will suit the Democrats just fine. They’ll just blame it all on Donald Trump.

In the next two years, we need to do two things.

One, fight the madness. I will work with Democrats when they’re willing to be reasonable. Last night, I called James Talarico. I congratulated him on his very impressive victory. It was a pleasant conversation, and I told him that I looked forward to working with him to try to benefit Texas.

So, if there are things like flood relief for the Hill Country, or trying to get the space academy to Texas, he and I will work together. But if the newly elected radicals push policies that hurt Texas, raising taxes, destroying jobs, opening the border, releasing violent criminals, threatening our children, undermining our constitutional rights, I will fight with all of my strength to defend Texas and to defend the Constitution.

And number two, we need to rebuild, getting behind policies that directly benefit the constituents we lost.

There’s a complicated story, no doubt, of what happened on Election Day, but as I see it, the key constituencies we lost were blue-collar voters, what had rightly become the core base of our party, Evangelical Christians, who didn’t show up with the same numbers and fervor as prior elections, farmers and ranchers. Tragically, we alienated rural America. Young people, who excitedly had voted Republican in 2024, and who shifted hard blue this cycle. And of course, Hispanics.

For Hispanics, there’s a strong overlap with young people and blue-collar workers. In 2024, just two years ago, I was proud to carry Hispanics statewide in Texas by six points, and we swung the Rio Grande Valley red for the first time in a century. It can be done, but in this election, those Hispanic voters overwhelmingly went back Democrat. We have got to turn that around.

And for young people, we need to be the party of the future. We need to champion policies that expand their future. Our two single biggest legislative accomplishments of the past two years, Trump Accounts and the school choice tax credit, which will unleash tens of billions of dollars in new scholarships for kids, are generationally powerful. I was proud to author both of those transformational policies, and yet too few candidates all across the country ran on that record.

Too few voters were even aware of what we’d accomplished for their kids and their future. But we need to build. We need to expand to continue creating a new investor class for hundreds of millions of Americans, help everyone, every American, become an owner, to have real skin in the game, to create new generations of capitalists ready to reject socialism.

People voted as they did because they were angry. Ironically, the Democrats that they elected are going to advance policies that will make affordability worse. The Democrats want gas prices higher. They want to ban gasoline engines altogether. Their extreme environmental mandates will drive up food prices and the prices of everything else.

But hear me now: we will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain’t us. Texas is still Texas.

We will rebuild as a true blue-collar party, not by embracing socialism, but by being real free-market conservatives. The way we built the Texas economic miracle in the first place, and we will build and rebuild America as well.

When the zealots overreach, and they will, we will stand ready to lead in the direction of freedom, of prosperity, of safety, and security, and common sense. We will return to a new dawn of freedom in America.

It is dark right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and morning is coming. That is my fervent prayer, and that is my commitment to you.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

So what if a Muslim wins an election in America and becomes a congressman or senator? Why is that any different from a Buddhist winning an election?

Because Buddhism is a religion. Islam is a state.

Islam has a population: the ummah. It has a constitution: Sharia. It has courts, criminal law, family law, taxation, rules for minorities, doctrines of war and peace, and a foreign-policy framework governing relations between the land of Islam and the lands outside it.

The ummah is not tied to Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, or any other modern country. It crosses all of them.

Islam's population "Muslims" belong to one political-religious community.

That is fundamentally different from Buddhism.

A Buddhist American may practice Buddhism faithfully, but Buddhism does not give him a second universal political order with its own law, sovereignty, territorial doctrine, and theory of government.

Islam does.

This is why reducing Islam to “just another religion” misses the point.

Muslim officeholders are literally citizens of another existing country, and their loyalties can never be American first, because the two projects are contradictory.

Add to that the religious hatred of Jews in Islam and the special relationship between Israel and America.

A Muslim in a position of power in America, with a religious mandate to hate Jews, will not approach Israel from the perspective of what is in America’s best interest, but rather from the perspective of what Islam commands him to do.

Understand the implications of what happened in Texas last night.

Gina Hinojosa has called on Gov. Abbott to end state & local cooperation with ICE & she can order that on day one.

Hinojosa voted against the 2017 SB 4 as a TX state rep. The bill was essentially a sanctuary cities ban and required TX law enforcement to cooperate with ICE detainers. She then voted against another SB 4 in 2023, which made it a state crime to cross illegally into Texas.

Should there be another border crisis in coming years, there will likely be no resistance from Texas at the border. No Texas DPS, no TX National Guard, no razor wire or water buoys, and no Operation Lone Star, which Hinojosa called a “dog and pony show” and “political theater”.

Remember when 15,000 Haitians surged illegally into Del Rio, TX in 2021 under the international bridge? That was only stopped because Texas DPS responded on Abbott’s orders and physically blocked further crossings by lining up their cruisers to form a wall. The Biden Border Patrol was caught off guard and offered almost no resistance, except for some horseback agents who were falsely slandered for “whipping”.

Additionally, because Republicans failed to pass any legislation codifying President Trump’s border security measures, if Dems take the White House in 2028, that Dem president could, if he/she wants to, reverse every single Trump border security policy immediately upon taking office because they were all done at the executive level, and they can order Border Patrol to go back to a passive catch & release policy like we saw under Biden.
