ENIAC kinda rhymes with maniac, but we’ll leave it at that. Today, February 15, marks the 80th anniversary of the development of the first programmable, electronic computer, known as ENIAC, for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer. ENIAC was the brainchild of John Mauchly of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. ENIAC was funded by the Department of the Army — whose troops were fresh from the battlefields of Europe — which sought a machine that would create ballistic tables and reference charts that help predict where bullets would travel. The city’s Compuseum, a museum for computers and technology, plans to honor ENIAC’s eight decades alongside Philadelphia’s 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence. While the famed Declaration drafted by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 sought to free all human beings, the road paved by ENIAC is now filled with scary visions of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots, both born from advances in computer technology, taking over the world and enslaving us. I asked GEMINI, my AI pal, if artificial intelligence would eventually enslave the world, and he (she, it, they, whatever) replied that such was just the brainchild of science fiction, not reality. Eighty years from now, which will rule

The last thing the nation needed was to see the prevaricating, bumbling Pima County Sheriff, by the name of Chris Nanos, on TV again. Sheriff since 2020, Nanos is now overseeing (stretch your imagination, please) the hunt for Nancy Guthrie, missing two weeks ago as of early Sunday morning, or perhaps Saturday night. He spoke with Fox News local and national today, gussied up in what looked like a British Racing Green golfing shirt, unveiling three major revelations: 1) contrary to media reports, no glove was found inside Nancy Guthrie’s home, 2) DNA, however, was discovered but not shared with the FBI, and 3) everything is going hunky dory with the folks from the FBI, again despite media reports to the contrary. According to the Pima County Sheriff’s website, “Throughout his career Sheriff Nanos has maintained a strong emphasis on his work in Criminal Investigations, particularly Violent Crimes, Sex Crimes, and Narcotics Interdiction.” Nanos does have a lengthy career, having joined the department in 1974, but as for his reported strengths, those seem to be hiding from view during this particular missing-persons case. He hasn’t held a news conference in a week, and it took him almost two weeks to

Here we go again. Republicans won’t end the filibuster in the Senate, which requires 60 votes to pass a measure, but Demofiends will end it the first chance they get. President Trump is once again urging RINOs and on-the-take Republicans to end the filibuster and pass the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act. SAVE will require voter IDs at elections, which will end Demofiend voter fraud by mail balloting, illegal alien voting, and paid mules harvesting “excess” ballots to fill them out for Demofiends. SAVE passed the House of Representatives with one Democrat vote and heads to the Senate, where it stands no chance without a filibuste eliminationr. House Speaker Mike Johneon generously said on FOX News that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R–S.D.) is exploring different forms of the filibuster to pass the bill. Thune himself, however, has said that he has no intention of ending the filibuster. There ya go, folks, no SAVE Act. The Senate has already waived the filibuster for court appointees, done under President Obama, and for Supreme Court nominees under President Trump (really just an extension of the Dems court filibuster appointee elimination). The GOP could vote just to waive the filibuster for this

Donald Trump probably looks like a denier, if not a berserker, when he rails against the climate frenzy gripping Western nations. He rightly points out that windmills cost more in dollars — and climate “damage” — than clean-energy natural gas, and even coal, electric plants do. As for solar, as an owner of home solar panels, I can attest that they are a joke. I bring this up because Trump, as 47th president of the U.S. of A., is planning to issue a new climate regulation putting the kibosh to previous regulations concocted by leftist crisis builders. Remember, the Demofiend motto is “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” So why not create one with the climate, scare the f–k out of the public, and then win enough votes to retard energy production to the point that a) no one can afford to keep the lights on. and b) energy has to be rationed? The new reg seeks to reverse EPA standards established under one Barack Hussein Obama and team, the same folks who ran the government under Puppet President Joe Biden. Unfortunately, the upcoming Trump regulation concerns only emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles, and not power plants. If so,
