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).
Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) good or bad?
Turning the World Right Side Up
The shock and awe changes the Trump administration is bringing to the USA/world is nothing less than breathtaking. Donald Trump has accomplished more in a month than most presidents accomplish in four-to-eight years.
I’ve never seen anything like it in 54 years as a voter.
The American people are behind him 50-55% in most polls (much higher than he polled in term one) and Rasmussen Reports that their Presidential Approval Roundup shows a majority of Americans believe the country is now on the “right track” for the first time in two decades.
President Trump believes he has been spared by God to renew the American nation.
That belief is turning the world right side up.
