Andy Mills spoke to the man accused of trying to kill Sam Altman. The Democrats have a Hasan Piker problem. Will Trump use his leverage over Iran? Just how worried should we be about Anthropic’s Mythos model? And more.

Piker and Mamdani are the new democrat/communist party. They will very soon be the mainstream.
One small observation (and this isn’t criticism, just a question): Mrs Kirk was warned about the security risk if she attended the TPUSA event, and I thoroughly understand her choice not to attend. But didn’t the Vice-President of the United States attend and doesn’t he have world class security? I would think the TPUSA event would have been locked down tight for the main attendees.
IIRC, the security risk warning wasn't to do with the event venue but with her travel safety between her residence and the venue.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation. What a world we have created.
Indeed.
FYI.

“Learnt”?!?
Love the typo about how AI may "wreck havoc" ! Maybe "wreak havoc" makes sense but the notion of havoc being wrecked is intriguing.
“Last week, Anthropic announced Mythos, a new model so powerful the company said it wouldn’t release it to the public. The model, it claimed, could find and exploit vulnerabilities in almost any software system on Earth—a capacity that could wreck havoc instantly.”
That should be *wreak* havoc.
Re: UK and France denying entry to Ye due to his antisemitism - are they worried Ye will show up their own imported and home-grown antisemites?

Where did you get your average tax refund number? If you’re going to link to the president’s promise, you should also link to where you’re getting your numbers from. Along with the percentage of returns filed.
The link is to an NPR article, which in turn links to the source from IRS: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-season-statistics-for-week-ending-april-3-2026
But $350 more is a LOT more than a Dem president would have given them because Dems like to raise taxes. So they’d be in the hole this year without Trump’s tax cuts, yes? Wonder why NPR didn’t provide that information?
I know the American public is stupid. Tax "refunds" just means you overpaid, whether through withholding or payments. What matters it the total amount on on your income. You want a several thousand dollar "refund" of your own money? Easy, just overpay by several thousand. A zero refund means you nailed it.
Technically true, but there were several new tax breaks this year, so it would be hard to budget for those.
"technically true" = "true"
"how much tax I paid is measured by my refund" = "idiot"
In your opinion, David. And I have no reason to respect you or your opinion.
Pirate Wires on the democrats' new CA gubernatorial front-runner (kudos to intern(!) Hunter Ryerson):
Schools for me, not for thee
"Wednesday, the California Teachers Union endorsed gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer. It should be no surprise that Steyer is a fervent opponent of school choice, which allows public funds to follow students to the schools they select (thus threatening the Professor Umbridge Union’s access to taxpayer cash). Yet this public school favoritism is just blatant hypocrisy: the Bernie Bro Billionaire (yes, for real) not only sent his kids to a $50,000-per-year private school, but also went to Phillips Exeter Academy, America’s most elite boarding school. I know, because I’m an alum, and would find his name slapped on every donor plaque. The benefits these schools provide — rigor, resources, and connections — permanently change the trajectory of a kid’s life. Just not your kid’s. Steyer, as with all his other luxuries, wants to pull the ladder up behind him. Give the peasants a better education? Ew, gross. Sacrifice them to the public school she-demons for votes? Now that’s the stuff."
He is campaigning on "jailing" ICE employees. What? A state cannot "jail" a federal employee who is doing their job. How about campaign on changing immigration laws.? I live on a nation of idiots.
"Average tax refunds are up about $350 this year to $3,462. But that’s far below the White House’s promised boost of more than $1,000 from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with rising gas prices from the war with Iran eating up much of the projected gains."
I clicked the link, mistakenly assuming it would lead to a factual article. Instead the link states percentages of "thought" and "a bit of disappointment" and ""perhaps happy," with the final sentence in the quote below helpfully communicating there was no need to read the rest of the article:
"And Americans appear to be shrugging their shoulders at the tax changes. A recent survey by the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank advising on federal policy, found 62% of respondents either thought the tax changes harmed them or made no difference. Even among Republicans, only 35% said the changes favored them.
"There's a bit of a disappointment in how much those refunds are," said Tom O'Saben, the director of tax content and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals. "People are quietly, perhaps, happy but not to the extent where I would call it significant." "
Seriously? I began subscribing with the hope of hearing facts from both sides of the issues. Articles like this are not that. This is now happening on a daily basis, and I read more and more comments from subscribers deciding to unsubscribe; I'm barely hanging on. Do better!!
The TFP snippet could have referred to this part of the NPR article:
""The evidence is stronger that more tax relief is relatively flowing to those who otherwise would owe when they file," said Don Schneider, deputy head of U.S. policy at the investment bank Piper Sandler."
I have already alerted them that I am not renewing
A full section on the Trump meme, and nary a word on the sleazebag of the century, Eric Swalwell, and the years-long cover up, look-the-other-way pack of Democrats who are now shocked, shocked about him. What kind a shady gutterrat sends a dicpic to anyone, ever?
If only Trump actually was a king......
I don’t actually want to see a heavily pregnant belly uncovered at the grocery store, either. Covered by a tight clingy shirt is bad enough, but bare?! No. And like people sending dicpics they are now out there.
I really don’t understand the culture that centers around taking photos of private parts and sending them along like it’s normal. Who. Does. That?

Like I would click on any link you provide.
"Ye postponed his June concert in Marseille after France’s interior ministry moved to ban it, following the UK’s outright ban on his entry to the country last week over his history of antisemitism."
The funny part is that even though his views align with the American Blackshirts Movement (ABM), they wouldn't let him past the front door.
Looks like Gen Z has a violence problem. Especially the Z force that is on the left. The little gal in Minneapolis who blew the whistle in the Hispanic TPUSA reporter should get some serious max security jail time. I hope Hispanic Americans noticed how white lefties treated her like shite
The woman with the whistle was vile.
It is too bad the young reporter didn't have some muscle w her
And a pair of headphones so she could drown out that imbecile who kept blowing that whistle in her ear. I’ll admit the reporter showed a lot more restraint than I would have. If I’d been her, that whistler would have swallowed that whistle. And I’d be in jail.
