Nobody wants to live in Massachusetts. which has the lowest total fertility rates (1.54 average lifetime births per woman) in the United States. The total fertility rate in Tennessee is 1.82, almost 20% higher than Massachusetts. This has political consequences, as Massachusetts has watched its number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives decline significantly in the past several decades. When John Kennedy was elected President in 1960, Massachusetts was the 10th most populous U.S. state, and had 14 seats in the House. Today, Massachusetts is the 14th most populous state and has only nine seats in the House, the same as Tennessee, which ranks 17th in population. Because the Massachusetts delegation is all-Democrat, the feeble birth rate in the state is a factor in the declining fortunes of the Democrat Party. Massachusetts is aborting itself into political irrelevance, but doesn’t seem to understand this.

In our culture, talking about the future is sometimes a polite way of saying things about the present that would otherwise be rude or risky.

But have you ever wondered why so little of the future promised in TED talks actually happens? So much potential and enthusiasm, and so little actual change. Are the ideas wrong? Or is the idea about what ideas can do all by themselves wrong?

I write about entanglements of technology and culture, how technologies enable the making of certain worlds, and at the same time how culture structures how those technologies will evolve, this way or that. It’s where philosophy and design intersect.

So the conceptualization of possibilities is something that I take very seriously. That’s why I, and many people, think it’s way past time to take a step back and ask some serious questions about the intellectual viability of things like TED.

So my TED talk is not about my work or my new book – the usual spiel – but about TED itself, what it is and why it doesn’t work.

TED Talks are one of the chief technobabble vehicles for prog-splaining and making Lefty dweebs feel good about themselves. Bratton scrubs the lipstick off of the pig and lets it all hang out.

The report is compiled in compliance with an executive order from President Donald Trump shortly after taking office in January 2017.

The report said that of the 183,058 inmates in the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 38,132—or 21 percent—were “known or suspected aliens.”

Of that 38,132, the report said, 55 percent were illegal immigrants subject to a final order of removal, and almost one-third remain under Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation.

The U.S. Marshals Service detained 19,688 identified as “confirmed aliens under ICE investigation,” 70 percent of whom were subject to a final order of removal.

“Every crime committed by an illegal alien is, by definition, a crime that should have been prevented,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

Your tax dollars at work. Aren’t you proud?

One of the questions I’m often asked by people who acknowledge that Trump has done some pretty awesome things during his time in office is the fact that they just can’t get over the obvious fact that he keeps saying what they regard as, and which I freely admit to being,  ‘stupid things’.

The categories of ‘stupid shit Trump says’ range from inaccurate statements (invariably characterized by his critics as LIES! without considering the primary predicate of a lie, which is an intention to deceive) to infelicitous (e.g. anything that can easily be distorted and taken out of context by his critics) to The Truth That Dare Not Say Its Name (things that everybody knows to be true but which cannot actually be said in public without tremendous amounts of blowback from people who are fundamentally invested in said true thing actually being, or being considered, not true).

Scott Adams, in his Periscope sessions, is constantly pointing out that people are missing the essential ‘persuasion’ part of the picture: Controlling The Conversation.

Once these things are said, the Chattering Class are physically unable to ignore them, any more than a dog is able to resist chasing something running away from it. While they are chattering about these things, which are of no importance, they aren’t talking about what they would prefer to be talking about, which is their agenda. (And they do have an agenda, trust me.) The reason that these things are of no importance is that any connection between what Trump says and what Trump does is, at best, accidental.

Since the mid-1960s, that section of the information economy known at the Mainstream Media have had a lock on what Americans (and, by extension, people around the world) hear being ‘talked about’ — the major TV and radio networks, the big-city newspapers, the informational and opinion publications popular with Those Who Matter (at least in their own minds), and certain publications (like Scientific American and Popular Science and National Geographic) that one wouldn’t ordinarily think had any connection with politics but that have been taken over by Social Justice Warriors and turned into Voices of the Crust because Social Justice Warriors cannot tolerate the existence of any publication (or organization, such as the Boy Scouts) that hasn’t been roped into the Progressive Chorus.

‘Yeah, but how can he stand to say all of these stupid things? Even a second’s thought would reveal how stupid they are.’ The whole point is that Trump doesn’t give them that second’s thought. True or false, wise or foolish, helpful or unhelpful, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that they take control of the public discourse. While the sharks are fighting over the bucket of fish guts you’ve thrown in the water, they aren’t chewing on you or on the thing you’re pulling out of the water, which is worth a lot more to you than a bunch of fish guts. And the sharks can’t avoid attacking the fish guts because that’s their shark nature, which they cannot control. Watch it in action. Any time tha the Chattering Class get into some part of their agenda rather that what Trump wants them to be talking about, he will toss another grenade into the stream just to watch the dead fish from CNN and MSNBC float to the surface. He’s been doing it for at least three years now; my wonder is not that he’s doing it but that more people haven’t caught on to it.

I don’t even claim that this is a deliberate choice on Trump’s part. For all I know, it might be, but I think that he’s been doing this for so long, and been so successful at it, that it’s an entirely unconscious process on his part. He doesn’t have to think about how to Control The Conversation any more than Serena Williams needs to think about how to return a serve — there it is WHAP there it goes….

There is a method to this apparent madness, a very successful one. So unclench the stomach, pass the popcorn, and enjoy the show.

Military officials stopped Pablo Villavicencio – an immigrant from Ecuador and father of two – after he delivered pizza to the Fort Hamilton Army base on Friday, according to New York City Councilman Justin Brannan.

When Mr Villavicencio failed to provide adequate identification, Mr Brannan said, the officers passed him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The 32-year-old remained in ICE custody on Monday, pending his removal from the country.

Wondering when these guys will cotton to the fact that ‘illegal’ means ‘subject to arrest and deportation’. This elementary knowledge doesn’t appear able to cross the blood/brain barrier with some people.

Eric Adams, the borough president for Brooklyn, said Mr Villavicencio’s arrest set a “dangerous precedent”.

Um, let’s see: Enforcing the law is a ‘dangerous precedent’. Yeah, that guy’s a Democrat.

“It is unimaginable that a person can go from a pizza to prison,” he said at a press conference.

I have no problem imagining that.

An ICE spokesperson confirmed Mr Villavicencio had been detained, and was being held in custody pending his removal. The spokesperson said Mr Villavicencio had failed to comply with a 2010 voluntary departure order and was considered a fugitive.

Sounds pretty cut-and-dried to me. I’d be inclined to send Eric Abrams along with him.
