After a a brief hiatus while our nation found its way back to legitimate leadership, am pleased to announce I will be returning to the Board of Directors of @MarcoPolo501c3, led by @GarrettZ who I had the pleasure to spend much of the past week with.

There was a urgent time in history when Marco Polo first released its Report on the Hunter Biden laptop and needed a helping hand with the tech stack necessary to support the multiple tens of millions of visits from people wanting to read it. Was able to put some of my old social-network founder experience for building high capacity tech infrastructure to use then 🤣 and the original biden laptop site became a reality. Some perhaps little known 'behind the scenes' American internet history ..

At the time we published it, the prior regime was trying to silence everyone through any means possible. I'm sure many here will remember that time. Absolute insanity, a preview of what can happen, and how fast it can happen, if we ever lose our focus on preserving our most important freedoms.

Garrett and his many researchers, investigators and supporters are truly brave, bold Patriots who will never lose that focus on defending our freedoms. On a serious note, Marco Polo's now famous report on the Hunter Biden laptop reached so many people I am convinced it contributed to much needed change in the history of our country - a worthwhile cause.

We will do well as Patriotic Americans to support Garrett and his substantial Marco Polo group in their present and future endeavors.

THEY HATE AMERICA: Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is up for reelection next year, garnered backlash Tuesday after vetoing a bill aimed at preventing China from buying up land next to strategic assets, such as military bases.

Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp said the "politically motivated veto" was "utterly insane," blaming Hobbs for being "an obstructionist against safeguarding our citizens from threats." 

However, Hobbs said the bill, S.B. 1109, was "ineffective at counter-espionage" and did not "directly protect" American military assets in the state.

Do you know what this company is, and what it does? 👀

Cortical Labs released CL1, a bio-computer using 800,000 lab-grown human neurons interfaced on a silicon chip.

Live neurons are sustained for up to 6 months via onboard life-support hardware (nutrients, temperature, waste control). Each neuron batch is donor-derived, enabling use-case variation (e.g., disease modeling, genetic diversity).

What do you think about human brain cells being used on a silicon chip?

Glenn Beck said today he is walking away (finally) from the U.S. Democrat party.

What do you think of Glenn Beck? 🤔

1987. Gosh that was a long time ago. Most of the 300+ people working at KCSB-FM in my home town were University students in their 20's but somehow I ended up there due to all the time I had spent in the UCSB computer center nearby. Guess I was fifteen years old in that picture. Had the third or fourth place in management back then as "traffic manager," worked on time slots and content at the station.

This pretty loud, opinionated, yet determined and somewhat nice guy showed up at the University radio station in my home town where I had one of my first jobs. Gave us a big pitch about how he wanted to start broadcasting news commentary. We put him on a morning time slot at the station where he started his first show. His name was Sean Hannity.

But was it ever true? 🤣

This week in 1977, the Apple II was released.

Steve Jobs. What a guy.

Not saying he was great or anything. Just saying, "What a guy." 🤣

Sure had an impact on U.S. computer history.

Television store in 1974. 🤩

Guess I would have been two years old back then 🤣

Remember as a kid I think we had something like ten TV channels we could get.

Single sided, double density 3M disks 👍

anyone remember "dial-up phone modems" 🤣

this stuff has to be on the list of worst beverages in history 🤣

Would have been a pretty cool monitor setup to have, about 30 years ago 😂

It's 1998. What are you going to "Ask Jeeves?" 🤣
