With New California AI Law, Newsom Mounts Chilling Assault On Free Speech

Published

on

California’s far-left governor celebrated Constitution Day with a series of new laws to “crack down” on free speech articulated via artificially generated content.

On Tuesday, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom officially outlawed the creation and distribution of images or videos created with artificial intelligence known as “deepfakes.” The meme ban applies 120 days before an election and 60 days after. The law formerly known as Assembly Bill 2839 allows people depicted in AI-generated memes and videos to obtain a preliminary injunction in court that stops the meme’s distribution.

“Safeguarding the integrity of elections is essential to democracy, and it’s critical that we ensure AI is not deployed to undermine the public’s trust through disinformation – especially in today’s fraught political climate,” Newsom said in a press release. “These measures will help to combat the harmful use of deepfakes in political ads and other content, one of several areas in which the state is being proactive to foster transparent and trustworthy AI.”

Newsom also signed two other pieces of legislation requiring campaigns and social media platforms to disclose whether their content was created with artificial intelligence. Tech CEO Elon Musk, who announced in July he would relocate the headquarters for two of his companies from California to Texas, amplified a fake campaign ad that Newsom characterized as the impetus for the decision to sign the anti-speech laws.

“Hard to be a free speech platform in a state that wants to ban free speech,” Musk wrote in another post on X.

Democrat Media Downplay Gangbuster GOP Voter Turnout As Another ‘Red Mirage’

Published

on

Even before polls opened on Election Day, legacy media were already pushing the narrative that the country would be seeing a “red mirage” on Nov. 5, claiming Republican margins will appear greater than they actually are before large numbers of likely-Democrat absentee ballots are counted.

“You’re going to see a ‘red mirage,’ where it seems like Trump is doing better than he actually is, because they haven’t counted and reported those absentee ballots yet, then the blue shift when those ballots are introduced to add to the totals — that could be in the middle of the night. It certainly was in 2020,” Wisconsin Democrat Party Chair Ben Wikler said on MSNBC on Tuesday. 

In 2020, Election Day came to an end with Trump leading the race by “comfortable margins,” as The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson wrote. However, early morning ballot dumps the next day in the crucial states of Wisconsin and Michigan somehow “showed 100 percent of the votes going for Biden and zero percent — that’s zero, so not even one vote — for Trump.”

Ahead of the 2022 midterms, Democrats and the media sought to normalize concepts like the so-called “red mirage,” working to, as The Federalist previously noted, “prim[e] voters to expect GOP gains to evaporate once mail-in and absentee ballots — which skew heavily Democratic — are counted in the coming days and weeks.”

They’re perpetuating the same psyop in 2024.

The margin in Wisconsin is currently razor thin, with RealClearPolitics placing Harris 0.4

Google Forced To Fix Search Engine After Getting Caught Interfering In Election

Published

on

Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

But users who searched “Where can I vote for Harris?” were immediately shown a link provided by Democracy Works and Voting Information Project that allows voters to enter an address and be directed to their nearest polling location. One X user attributed the difference in results to “Harris” being a county in Texas. But users who entered non-Harris, Texas, addresses were still provided information about their nearest polling location.

Google acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying the issue was fixed and attributing their blatant election interference to an oopsie: “The ‘where to vote’ panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in TX [Texas].”

“Fix is coming,” Google said. “Note very few people actually search for voting places this way.”

Google users were previously directed to Democracy Works when seeking information on how to register to vote.

Democracy Works bills itself as “non-partisan” but is funded by “prominent left-of-center private foundations, such as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the John

Biden And Harris’ Horrible Helene Response Could Have Sealed Democrats’ Fate In North Carolina

Published

on

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — Just 21 days before the start of early voting, Hurricane Helene delivered biblical-level destruction to the hills, hollows, and mountains of North Carolina. The massive storm brought devastating floods that killed 232 people — half of them in this state — and buried entire riverside communities in rivers of mud.

Now, residents struggle for basic supplies. More than 2,500 families are homeless. Crowded shelters are well above capacity. Hundreds of road and bridge closures are disrupting transportation and the delivery of crucial aid.

Two days after the storm, Gov. Roy Cooper requested a Major Disaster Declaration from the federal government in order to surge assistance to state and local agencies and provide immediate relief to suffering North Carolinians. FEMA claimed in a news release that it sent 25 trailer loads of food and 60 trailer loads of water to North Carolina. But Hendersonville resident Andrea Corn says she has not seen a state or federal worker yet.

After the storm, Corn — a 55-year-old accountant who is more accustomed to preparing tax forms for local businesses than organizing relief missions — formed an ATV group to rescue elderly victims in Henderson County. Most roads and bridges had crumbled or washed away, and many folks could be reached only by going off-road.

Andrea and her husband, a volunteer fireman, brought supplies to victims stranded in remote “hollers.” Many residents were without power for more than a month following Helene’s visit. Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian charity, distributed solar-powered lights to light
