I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.

Artificial intelligence is changing the world faster than any other technological advancement in history. Chatbots can interact with people in so many ways, often mimicking human beings to carry on conversations with real humans. In fact, there is a trend among younger humans to develop relationships with the Chatbots rather than real humans. Chatbots can be programmed to never disagree with you or say things that might make you feel bad. Richard Skellett has taken that concept to the proverbial next level.
Richard works for a digital consulting firm. They have been at the forefront of helping clients utilize artificial intelligence programs to enhance human productivity. Richard has gone a step further. He has built an artificial version of himself, Digital Richard. Over the last 3 years, Richard has given his alter ego access to every email, Zoom meeting, phone conversation, in person meetings, and every document he has authored. With that information, Digital Richard has become an online version of Richard.

9One of the things that differentiates conservatives from liberals is that we do not blindly follow our political leaders. If there's something we don't like, we will say so. Liberals on the other hand will justify anything their favorite politician does even if they've spoken out against that behavior or policy in the past. I have regularly criticized republican congressional leaders that they often, not every time, when they regained power in the house refused to keep the promises they made to the people.e. When in the minority, the Republicans put forth a bill to repeal Obamacare seven times. When they regained power and Paul Ryan was elected speaker, he refused to bring a similar bill to the floor.
I like Donald Trump's policies. They are pro-American, pro-business, and generally good for the country. Many of us don't like the way he speaks, even when we agree with the message. If he could only speak with the humor and wit of a Ronald Reagan, more people would stop and listen to what he's actually saying rather than focusing on how he is saying it.
Based upon the pictures I saw and the interviews I watched, those that participated in the No Kings' day demonstration accomplished their goal. Their goal was never to remove Donald Trump from office. It was to satisfy their ego and make them feel morally superior to the rest of us. They love to dance around and sing songs to make themselves feel good. They can then retire to their favorite coffee shop or craft brewery and talk about how they made a difference in the world that day.
They are delusional. Imagine the feeling of moral superiority that you must possess to believe that you know more than Iranians, or Venezuelans, or Cubans about their lives. All of those people were demonstrating against the tyrannical government under which they have lived for decades. Expats were celebrating in the streets of the United States and other countries because of our actions. Yet the left-wing nut jobs told them they were wrong. The demonstrators showed their support for true tyrannical leaders ignoring the people that were begging for freedom.
I"m going to have to listen to find out, also.
One of the undeniable truths of life in my world is that every stereotype has some basis in fact. Good or bad, it's true. It doesn't mean everyone of that demographic group is the same, but we can all recognize certain behaviors or characteristics that describe enough people to be valid. One of them is the old, retired guy that likes to yell at kids to stay off his lawn and people driving down his street to slow down. We all know a few people like this. I have to catch myself on occasion to keep myself from being that guy. But there are times when it seems appropriate.
Many of you know that the speed limit on Highway 180 from 32nd St. Bypass to Arenas Valley has been reduced from 55 mph to 45 mph. It's been that way for a couple of months now. Traveling east, there are several speed limit signs with red flags or flashing lights to alert drivers to the change. For west bound traffic there aren't as many, but the signs are there. Yet people still drive as if the speed limit has not changed, often traveling in excess of 60 mph.
Well, I'm curious enough to listen to this? Are you?
