Democratic Party Implosion
I accidently splashed some selenium sulfide in my eyes last week and haven’t been able to read or write (missed my first blog in eighteen years).
My physical vision is coming back slowly.
I’m more concerned about the moral vision of the Democratic Party. A recent poll had Democrats at an all-time low for “positive views” at seven percent. Wow. They remain leaderless, sat on their hands at the Trump address before a Joint Session of Congress, and caved on the recent continuing resolution.
Is the party that gave us Jefferson, Jackson, FDR, and Kennedy dying?
My thoughts on the current Dem implosion.
The Zelensky Debacle: Why Character Matters
Last night President Trump made his triumphant return to speak to a joint session of Congress. The speech was combative, visionary, moving, and the longest ever by a sitting president (one hour and forty minutes).
After the dust-up in the Oval Office four days before with the president of Ukraine, President Trump told the nation he “appreciated” a letter he’d received from President Zelensky indicating he was ready to work under Trump’s “strong leadership” to achieve a lasting peace.
That’s a good first step. Zelensky’s behavior last week was “absolute idiocy” to quote a Ukrainian MP.
My thoughts on the debacle and why character matters.
Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Good or Bad?
For months I’ve been thinking about writing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) due to its “rising star” in the 2020s.
Then this morning I joined a university faculty Zoom meeting where AI topped the agenda because students are using it to write papers–a modern form of plagiarism. It’s a problem we must deal with in a big way in higher education.
So must the entire world in ways beyond “papers.”
At the end of our meeting, one professor quipped, “Maybe we should have AI write our policy on it.” We all laughed (but maybe we should cry).
