The Latest Math Problems that AI Has Solved in the Last Month (Google Gemini)

What are the latest math problems that AI has solved in the last month?

In the past month, the landscape of AI-driven mathematics experienced a landmark shift. On October 6, 2026, OpenAI publicly released a massive collection of 722 manuscripts—totaling over 700 pages of proof attempts, solutions, and partial progress for 372 open problems.

Rather than tackling benchmark textbook problems, an unreleased advanced model was tasked with attacking long-standing open conjectures across pure and applied mathematics. The mathematical community has spent the past few weeks analyzing, formalizing, and verifying these generated papers.

The notable mathematical problems, conjectures, and breakthroughs produced or verified by AI systems over the past month include:

1. The Quadratic Sensitivity Conjecture (Disproved)

• Field: Theoretical Computer Science / Combinatorics
• The Breakthrough: For decades, a major open question regarding Boolean functions was whether block sensitivity was bounded tightly by the square of sensitivity , specifically . The model constructed an explicit counterexample establishing , settling the strong polynomial relationship conjecture that had stood unresolved since 1994.

2. Free Group Factor Isomorphism Problem (Positive Solution)

• Field: Operator Algebras / Functional Analysis
• The Breakthrough: First explicitly posed by Richard Kadison, this was one of the premier open problems in the theory of von Neumann algebras. The AI generated a proof establishing the isomorphism conditions for free group factors, a result that researchers are actively translating into formal proof languages like Lean.

3. Open Progress Across 372 Open Problems

• Field: Multi-Disciplinary (Number Theory, Topology, Graph Theory)
• The Scope: The October 6 release covered over 4,000 targeted open problems. Beyond headline proofs, mathematicians verified scores of preliminary results, including counterexamples in algebraic geometry, explicit bounds in spectral graph theory, and new combinatorial structures.

The Verification Dynamic

The rapid influx of AI-generated mathematics has fundamentally altered academic workflow:

• Reversed Process: Traditionally, mathematicians develop intuition, construct a proof, and publish. Now, AI systems generate hundreds of pages of candidates first, leaving human mathematicians to act as peer-reviewers and formalizers.
• Formal Verification via Lean: To rule out subtle hallucinations, consortia of top mathematicians (such as the First Proof project) are running the AI outputs through interactive theorem provers to verify every single step mechanically.

 

Canadian pro-family activist Bill Whatcott is now in the US – held in an ICE prison facility!

Fled Canada after phony "hate speech" conviction to seek US political asylum with “help” from US immigration lawyers.

An unbelievable story of dishonesty and incompetence that got him in this situation.

Also: Canada is seeking extradition of Bill!

October 27, 2026

Bill Whatcott is currently being held in the Northwest ICE Detention Center in Tacoma, WA.

This story is so absurd and disturbing that we almost don’t know where to start.

Over the years, Canadian pro-family Christian activist Bill Whatcott has been the target of a breathtaking amount of vicious “lawfare” by the government in that country - for “crimes” (i.e. writing politically incorrect things) that would never be crimes in the US or most countries in the world.

We last reported that Bill was ruled “guilty” of hate speech by a judge in Toronto, but was free awaiting his sentencing, set for December 16.

Bill’s “crime”, his first trial and acquittal, then the government’s “double jeopardy” appeal

As we’ve documented, ten years ago in July 2016, Bill and some masked friends paid $100 to march in the Toronto Gay Pride Parade. As they marched, they passed out hundreds of flyers. The flyers included gospel messages, graphic descriptions of some medical results of homosexual behavior, and criticism of pro-LGBT politicians.

Bill Whatcott and his friends dressed up as "Gay Zombies" and handed out flyer packets as their group marched in the 2016 Toronto Gay Pride parade.

The homosexual community was livid. They held a press conference at the Canadian Parliament. The Deputy Premier of Ontario was there with other prominent politicians. Their lawsuit suing Bill (which named the Prime Minister of Canada and Prime Minister of Ontario as “victims”) eventually fizzled out.

Two years after the parade, in 2018, Bill was arrested and formally charged with “wilfull promotion of hatred.” After an intense eight-day trial in 2121, the judge acquitted Bill.

But the government was obsessed with going after him. “Double jeopardy” is legal in Canada, so they appealed the “not guilty” ruling, dragging Bill and his lawyers through a successful appeals process in Canada’s leftist court system. Then came a series of hearings to schedule the re-trial.

Working with pro-family legal group PJI

When Bill was first arrested in 2018, he contacted the California-based pro-family legal aid group Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) about possibly seeking political asylum in the US. When he was acquitted, he dropped that idea. But in 2024 after the Canadian government was granted its appeal to retry him, Bill called PJI to begin working with them again on possible asylum.

Bill’s special permission to visit the US

While waiting for his re-trial, Bill wanted to visit friends in the US. But because of his legal situation, he needed a special waiver from the US State Department. In his application, he enclosed his Toronto flyer. The Biden Admin. State Department had no problem with it, and in 2023 granted him a full five-year waiver to travel in the U.S. In late 2023, Bill traveled through the US, and even visited MassResistance activists.

The re-trial and guilty verdict. Then Bill quickly crosses the border to the US, considering political asylum.

Bill’s re-trial took place during May 2026. It was a very hostile five-day ordeal before a pro-LGBT judge. When the trial ended, the judge said that the verdict would be announced on September 16. Before and after the re-trial, Bill often drive through the US, often visiting friends. (It was actually the quickest and least expensive route between his home in Alberta and the courthouse in Toronto.)

On September 16, the judge announced a “guilty” verdict. Bill’s sentencing was scheduled for December 16, and Bill was free until then. He was given 24 hours to turn in his passport.

Instead, Bill immediately got into his car and drove to the US. At that point the 24-hour period to turn in his passport had not ended. Nor was there any warrant for his arrest. Within hours of crossing the border, he signed a contract with PJI to represent him, and to put together the paperwork to formally seek political asylum.

Bill spent a few weeks with friends in Wisconsin, then drove to North Dakota to stay with other friends.

Bill’s belongings detained and impounded at the US border facility

Back at his home in Alberta, Bill had packed his belongings into a trailer. Bill’s good friend in North Dakota, Jonathan, offered to drive his truck to Alberta and tow Bill’s trailer and belongings to him in the US.

On September 30 Jonathan reached the US border crossing at Sweetgrass, MT with Bill’s trailer. Because Jonathan was bringing a Canadian’s belongings into the US, the customs officers required him to stop and catalogue every item, which took several hours.

They also questioned Jonathan about who the items belonged to. He explained that Bill had come to the US, was seeking political asylum, and needed his belongings. He got Bill on the phone to speak with customs officers about it. Bill also quickly contacted his PJI lawyer, who emailed the customs office with the following message:

I am an attorney with Pacific Justice Institute and represent William “Bill” Whatcott in connection with seeking asylum in the United States. To clarify his situation, Bill is seeking asylum. He has not been granted asylum or admitted to the United States as a refugee.

Please also forward any written request from the [customs] officers or let me know precisely what documentation they require. I can confirm our representation and accurately explain the status of Bill’s asylum matter. The officers will determine whether that confirmation satisfies their requirements for admitting his belongings.

Jonathan continued to catalogue Bill’s belongings. Then he heard the customs supervisor say to his subordinates, “This seems fraudulent. I’ve decided I’m not going to allow these to be brought in.”

Jonathan argued that it was not fraudulent. But he was told to take Bill’s items back to Canada. Jonathan said he wasn’t comfortable doing that, given Bill’s legal situation in Canada. So the customs supervisor called a Canadian towing company and had the trailer towed to the towing company’s lot in Canada. Jonathan left and prepared to drive back to North Dakota the next day.

Bad PJI advice gets Bill thrown into the border facility’s jail cell!

The next morning, Bill telephoned the Sweetgrass border facility and asked about how his belongings might be allowed in the US. The officer was very pleasant. He said that if Bill personally came to claim them, there would be no problem. He should just have Jonathan get the trailer to the facility, and Bill could be there to officially identify it, then leave with it. It would be an easy process.

Bill phoned Jonathan and said that he was going to the border facility, and that Jonathan should get the trailer and meet him there. Bill said he was driving there from North Dakota.

Jonathan was alarmed. He said, “Don’t go. It’s a trap.” Several of Jonathan’s friends also strongly advised Bill not to go there.

Bill called his PJI lawyer. The lawyer repeatedly advised Bill to go. He said there was a “near-zero chance” that there would be any problems; he could trust the customs officers. So Bill told Jonathan, “I’m listening to my lawyer, not you and your friends.”

Jonathan got Bill’s trailer from the towing company. But he decided to wait until Bill called him from the border facility to acknowledge he was all right before bringing it there.

On October 2, Bill arrived at the Sweetgrass border facility. The Border Supervisor told him everything would be fine, just step into this office. There were two other border officers there. They asked Bill to put his hands against the wall, but then he’d be free to go. Then they handcuffed Bill, told him he was under arrest, and put him in a jail cell. Jonathan received a garbled text from Bill that indicated bad news, before the officers took his phone.

Apparently, the supervisor immediately revoked Bill’s State Department passport waiver and charged him with being in the country illegally.

Bill was in the cell at the Sweetgrass facility for several days. It was miserable. He had to sleep on a concrete floor. There was just one meal each day – of terrible food. He could not clean himself. He could not take the medicine he needed. He was not allowed to talk to his lawyer or anyone else.

The Sweetgrass border crossing facililty is the largest and busiest in Montana.

Transferred to ICE detention facility in Tacoma, WA

On October 7, Bill was transferred to the ICE detention facility in Tacoma, WA, where he remains at this time. Conditions there are slightly better than in the border cell, Bill told us. He has a bed, meals, and gets the medicine he needs. He’s among hardened criminals, he said, but he’s dealing with it. No one, even Bill’s lawyer, could call him. Bill must attempt to phone them. At certain times of the day, for 35 cents per minute, he can make calls out.

Canada files with US State Dept. to extradite Bill to Canada!

Bill’s lawyer managed to find out that Canada has filed a formal Extradition Request with the US to extradite Bill back to Canada! Apparently, he called the State Department and confirmed it.

Extradition is only done for serious crimes like murder, kidnapping, etc. – not for passing out a politically incorrect flyer ten years ago. The document itself is not available to the public. But on its face, since Bill’s “crimes” in Canada would not be considered crimes in the US, extradition in this case would appear to violate the US/Canada Extradition Treaty.

However, it’s still very serious, though not connected to Bill’s current Immigration Hearing situation. We will report more on this – and what people can do about it – in an upcoming post.

PJI lawyer drops Bill as a client – says he’s too busy with other clients.

After about a week at the ICE detention center, Bill was informed that his first Immigration Hearing would be on Monday, October 14 at a courthouse in Tacoma. He had not been able to reach his lawyer by phone, and his lawyer had not been able to reach him. But a few of Bill’s friends (including MassResistance) did speak to the lawyer.

When the PJI lawyer was finally contacted by Bill’s friends, he admitted to them that he had not yet done any of the paperwork for Bill’s asylum filings. Bill was pretty shocked to hear that.

Moreover, the lawyer said that the effort needed for this was substantial, and his client load is so big that he cannot continue to represent Bill. And he won’t participate at the October 14 hearing.

He said PJI has tried to find another immigration lawyer for Bill, but without success. So it’s up to his friends to find one for him. He said this hearing is just for scheduling purposes, and Bill just needs to say he needs more time to find a lawyer.

Bill attends his initial Immigration court hearing - without a lawyer!

On October 14, Bill attended the hearing alone. The judge was not sympathetic. She said he has 2½  weeks to find another lawyer. She scheduled Bill’s next hearing for November 4. If Bill doesn’t have a lawyer by then, she’ll assume he is representing himself and will proceed that way. The fact that he’s stuck in a detention center where no one can call him clearly doesn’t matter to her.

Next Immigration hearing is Nov. 4 - Bill really needs a lawyer for that one!

At this writing, Bill’s friends are working hard to find a good immigration attorney to represent him on Nov. 4. That is critical. There is a sense that the judge is looking for an excuse to simply send Bill back to the Canadian authorities. A skilled immigration lawyer could easily keep that from happening. If anyone can help, by all means contact us!

Final thoughts

As we said at the beginning, it’s hard to know how to address these many injustices. Canada’s obsession with punishing politically incorrect speech is beyond belief. And the overzealous behavior of the US border officials is hard to fathom.

It’s an understatement to say that we are disappointed with Pacific Justice Institute. Let’s be honest: They basically got Bill into this terrible situation, then chillingly abandoned him. They didn’t prepare any paperwork. At one point we called their main office and spoke to the person overseeing this case. We were simply told that they can’t comment on it. MassResistance has worked with PJI in the past and had no problems. So this is upsetting. There’s no acceptable explanation or excuse.

The US border officers blatantly lied to Bill. In the US, federal law is very clear: It’s a felony to lie to any federal official (or even conceal facts). But it’s perfectly legal (and, in fact, considered meritorious) for federal officials to lie to everyone else. One reason that Bill seemed gullible is that even in Canada, he told us, government officials might stretch the truth a bit, but they’ve never outright lied to him. This struck us as a disturbing and painful lesson for all Americans about never trusting federal officials in any situation where it may affect you.

Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Our successes depend on people like you.

Mogg Mogged Tucker (And What the Commentariat Are Still Missing)

 

On October 2^nd, 2026, Tucker Carlson released his hostile interview with former United Kingdom Conservative MP Jacon Rees-Mogg. That was a bad move for the fired Fox News host.

A wide array of opinions has celebrated Mogg for holding his own against the abusive detours, the unwelcome interventions, and unjustified non sequiturs that Tucker Carlson has become famous for throwing out.

Views tired of Tucker’s pro-Islam, anti-Zionist schtick have praised Mogg for keeping his cool and turning the tables on the former MSNBC-CNN host throughout the entire.

The wide bevy of commentators declared that Carlson finally met his match. Most of the public should have expected as much. The posh UK conservative was one of the few who expertly rebuffed Sasha Baron Cohen’s obnoxious alter ego Ali G nearly thirty years ago. He mocked the liberal comedian without batting an eyelash or breaking a sweat. Remarking on the mockery, Mogg undermined Cohen’s subversive credibility by sharing that he enjoyed the interview. Calm, cool, and collected is the approach, and Mogg took the time to develop clarity of speech under duress.

His excellent takedown of a fake news propagandist masquerading as a journalist is not a first, either, but he capitalized on prior wins to deflate the most obnoxious of the bunch.

Canadian psychologist and intellectual Jordan Peterson’s revealed (and reveled in) his own masterclass on dealing with hostile interviews when he took down Cathy Newman of Channel 4 News in 2018. She repeatedly tried to put words in Peterson’s mouth (as Tucker did with Mogg), but he would gently correct her and set the record straight. At one point, he even laughed at her silly questions.

Elon Musk has also shut down arrogant liberals pushing their agenda under the guise of journalism.  At Twitter's San Francisco headquarters on April 11, 2023, Musk slammed a BBC reporter outright for lying about a supposed increase in hate speech or racist commentary on Twitter (now X) shortly after Musk took over. On July 23, 2026, in Musk’s long and contentious interview with the Economist, he rebuked the reporter’s suggestion that people loathe him for taking on more conservative political views. He retorted (correctly) that more people loathe corporate media talking heads like herself for mischaracterizing people and not reporting the truth. He also pushed back on the empty smear that he was supporting “extreme right” or “far right” policies when he provided a solid list of Democratic politicians in America who had supported secure borders, protection of children, and a rejection of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

It’s worth building on Musk and Peterson to appreciate Mogg’s approach to biased interviewers who insist on putting words in their guests’ mouths all while contorting their remarks and undermining their arguments.

These aggressive, liberal interviews want to enrage their guests, cause them to lose their cool, then take advantage of their flustered state as if to say: “See! You’re wrong about your stance! You are getting angry with me because all I’m doing is just asking questions.”

As if!

Like Peterson and Musk, Jacob Rees-Mogg was prepared, and the audience recognizes that he was comfortable with his views and his answers because he had pondered them for a long time. He spoke cogently, responded calmly without sudden alarm, and he had no problem correcting Tucker’s misunderstanding—or disregard—of history.

How have the pundits responded, and what are they missing?

Triggernometry podcaster Konstantin Kisin rebuffed these celebrations, lamenting that Tucker’s take was not particularly dark or disconcerting. He found Tucker to be unintelligent, and the whole discussion disappointing.

I could not disagree more.

Mogg’s masterful class on mogging (urban slang meaning to outshine, outclass, or dominate someone else—most commonly in physical appearance, physique, height, or presence, making them look inferior or smaller by comparison, cf. Merriam-Webster) Tucker and his insufferable post-liberal arrogance are a clinic for dealing with these fake news propagandists masquerading as journalists.

British conservative Peter Hitchens remarked that Tucker shouldn’t be treated seriously. He faulted Tucker’s lack of knowledge of history, his broad folly about Russia’s GDP vs. the UK, but he didn’t go after Trump’s deprecating self-contradictions. More conservatives need to point out this disturbing habit, then rest on that point to dismiss further discussions with him.

Andrew Klavan sounded off on Mogg mogging Tucker, too. He pointed out that war is justified when an aggressive power attacks, murders, and slaughters innocent civilians. He dismissed their influence because they may have many followers and views, but so what?

Klavan focuses on Tucker’s repartee that the UK should not have entered World War II. He slams the litany of falsehoods that flooded out of Tucker’s mouth. He criticizes the notion that WWII caused the decline of the UK. Klavan correctly points out that European allied nations are collapsing because they have lost the will and the interest in keeping their culture alive.

I would go one step further, though, and this analysis is still missing from the Carlson-Mogg reactions. Why has the West stopped fighting for its values? Because Christian faith has fallen into decline as universities have embraced secular leftist and globalist ideas. I also welcomed his attack on the false dichotomy of having to choose between Nazi rule and Islamic rule. He put Nazi and Islam together vs. Western glory based on Judeo-Christian values, Greek reason, and Roman courage.

Klavan also jumped on Tucker’s naïve argument that the UK is arresting more people for speech than Russia. Mogg mocked Tucker’s brazen ignorance (his confident dumbness), reminding Tucker that Putin routinely jails dissidents, or they suddenly find themselves falling from windows or getting poisoned.

I would add that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian citizens have never enjoyed a culture of robust freedom of speech. While that natural right is under attack in the United Kingdom because of a hostile Labour government and local bureaucrats, Russian citizens have learned to keep their mouths shut, knowing all too well the consequences if they speak out and criticize the regime.

Furthermore, Russia does not respect freedom of religion either. The general public is unaware of this, but as far back as 2016, Russia has heavily restricted proselytizing. Individuals cannot share their faith publicly, yet not a whimper from the Pro-Putin crowd. Mogg should have capitalized on that.

Last of all, many of the chatterati have ignored one of the best parts of the Tucker-Mogg moggery, which occurred when Mogg intimated that Tucker was defending Hitler, and the former MP advised his interviewer that he probably didn’t want to give that impression. Most people commenting on the exchange are not giving Rees-Mogg enough credit: he didn’t resort to direct character assassination, but slyly suggested it, just as Tucker makes snide assumptions about his guests under the guise of “just asking questions.”

Trying to defend himself, Tucker said, “OK, I’m a secret Nazi. Actually, I’m not …”

From Mogg’s reflection on his debate/discussion to the latest comments on the exchange, it’s frustrating that no one has seized on this grating, fundamental problem with Tucker, especially in connection with that Nazi-Not a Nazi remark: Tucker says unserious things, then disavows saying them. If he doesn’t take his own words seriously, why should anyone else?

Run and Hide from "Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels" (Tough Love for Conservative Media)

 

I do not have a Daily Wire subscription, so I miss their movie productions. A friend of mine hosted a group viewing of the conservative media company’s latest movie Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels (RHFI), so that I could see what all the fuss was about.

  After watching most of it, I have no intention of subscribing. 

To their credit, conservative companies are yearning to break into the mainstream entertainment marketplace. Rather than complaining, they are pushing back on the left-wing cultural rot defining American media.

Unfortunately, the Daily Wire’s latest feature fails. It’s contrived, empty, glorying in empty right-wing stereotypes about left-wing agitators, activists, and angry protesters without offering meaningful characters or a believable story. In short, it was not entertaining, and I am a conservative who respects The Daily Wire media vision.

Before excoriating RHFI film in detail, allow me to provide a summary of the movie:

The movie starts with American soldiers staking out a terrorist cell in Somalia. One of the soldiers rushes into the terrorist hideout because he sees a child, but he misses the Islamic militant in the background, and the militant murders the soldier.

Fast forward seven years later, and the soldier who survives the combat scene is now a spokesman and author warning the West about Islam, and he speaks at a university in Loudon County as part of his book tour.

In two other plot threads that take place at the same time, a college student falls in love with the girl in one of his college classes. He invites her to a drinking party in his dorm

At the same time as a budding love interest opens up, we witness one Islamic terrorist, presenting himself as a mere refugee looking for a new life in America, infiltrating the same University as a recent hire. This one terrorist has networked with the left-wing activists on campus (although the batty left-wingers don’t know that his final aim is an Islamic caliphate by force).

The young college undergrad chasing the girl was the most interesting part of the movie. That initial story arc presents the audience with real people attempting to form a real relationship. The roommates were funny too, because they engage in real dialogue in a natural situation. 

In contrast, however, the Islamic militants are crass stereotypes, so laughably unbelievable that they insult the audience and diminish the larger message of “Left-wing universities are useful idiots for terrorism, pandering to Islamic and militant left-wing protesters.” When the terrorist attack occurs, the mass slaughters are vivid and disturbing, but the nonchalant manner of some of the surviving characters does not come off as credible. They almost act like they’re playing in a video game instead of fighting to survive in a high-stakes violent scenario.

At the one-hour-and-20-minute mark of the movie (which was as long as I could stand the movie before tuning out), a former combat veteran suffering from PTSD takes a central role. Earlier in the movie, he spouts off bigoted remarks about Arabs and Islam, but suddenly he shakes off his military jitters and preps for war. Huh? Also, for a veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he looks surprisingly—and thus incredibly—young for a college student!

The movie doesn’t even have a focused tone. From the outset to the Islamic terrorists launching their plot—complete with mass shootings—the film takes on a serious and bloody tone. As the movie progresses, there are blatant attempts at humor where the dialogue isn’t funny, and the movie becomes unwatchable.

When writing a movie review, you should watch the whole thing. I decided to take the movie title literally. I ran and hid, and I fought the urge to be polite and watch the whole thing. Siskel and Ebert said it’s OK to walk out before a movie ends as long as you admit it, so there.

RHFI’s set design was good, the premise is worthwhile, and the actors have potential (even though none of them are big names). However, none of it comes together to make it worth watching.

I don’t fault The Daily Wire for trying. Conservatives should produce alternative media, especially for movie theaters and television. You can pursue and promote meaningful themes with a political message, but the work must entertain as well as instruct. If it’s a blatant message of “college administrators bad, Islam bad, college students wake up to bad, fight the bad to do good,” the whole thing comes off as hollow and unengaging.

Conservatives have to focus on larger messages without the politics.

Or should their movies be more overtly conservative? One great underrated conservative movie is An American Carol, released in 2008. Created by David Zucker of Airplane! and Naked Gun fame, the movie is a brilliant pro-American parody of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide tale. The main character, Michael Malone (a lampoon of the insufferable Michael Moore), hates America and the Fourth of July. To break him out of his left-wing moral torpor, three ghosts of American History visit him and teach him to revere Independence Day and respect everything great about America.

Yes, the movie pushed clearly conservative talking points, but the movie wasn’t pretending to be neutral entertainment. In fact, the parody aspect, including a lot of great puns and slapstick, mocks itself in a self-referential fashion, much like the other Zucker comedies. The movie played in mainstream theaters, too … and it bombed, sadly.

Conservatives can’t catch a break!

If conservatives want to impact the culture and push meaningful, life-enhancing content, including entertainment, they need to explicitly avoid being political. They should learn from J.R.R. Tolkien’s incredible series The Lord of the Rings. The epic is saturated with Christian ideology and symbolism, but nothing overt. One of the most rewarding and enriching stories out there, the final movie in the franchise won all the Academy Awards that it was nominated for in 2004. Granted, Frodo and Samwise don’t tell the audience to vote Republican, but the refreshing eternal themes resonated with audiences then and now. These kinds of cultural enhancing experiences may

Politics is downwind from culture, but culture seeking to be political overshadows its cultural impact and undermines the political message. Turning something cultural into something political is just further downwind from politics, and people will be turned off by it. 

Conservatives have done well sharing the ideas through podcasts, radio talk shows, and articles. Fox News is still one of the highest-rated television stations, and they have an inevitably conservative bent because they allow both sides to be heard, and the conservative side reflects truth, reality, and common sense, while the liberal side tells the public how the world should work, and they better agree or else!

For entertainment to endure, it has to touch us in our hearts as well as our minds, and it has to move us with truthful, accurate portrayals of events and characters with a believable story that will engage us. 

Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels does none of those things. If you're going to do conservative entertainment, you need to focus on conserving eternal and transcendent values and themes, rather than pushing right-wing talking points under the guise of telling a story.

ABC 10 Sacramento Sob Story on Fearful Illegals Backfires Big Time

This news article backfired, big time!

   

Check out the long list of comments beneath this post.

This is a report out of Northern California, where one would think lots of liberals would run to the aid of this old illegal.

But all the comments underneath have condemned her and her family for being in the country illegally.

Mainstream corporate media has always gone out of its way to play up the plight of the "poor undocumented immigrants."

Never do they care about the American citizens or the legal residents. They want to celebrate people who came into our country illegally and who despise our laws and reject our culture and sovereignty.

It's nice to see a growing number of people are not putting up with this anymore, and they are no longer buying the sob stories!

What the Latest No Kings No Show Showed Me

 

In Torrance, California, a large and influential suburb of Los Angeles, the No Kings protests have shown up with frequent vengeance.

From June 14, 2025, to the current election season, registered Democrats, wokesters, progressive leftists, democratic socialists, the full-blown socialists, and the racialist ethno-nationalists have shown up in large numbers to tell the world how much they hate Trump.

They love setting up along the main thoroughfare of the city, standing in front of Torrance City Hall, holding up their banners, calling the President all kinds of evil. Speakers from the main liberal, left-wing, progressive, Berniecrat (you get the idea) clubs throughout the South Bay rally in the main plaza outside of City Hall, urging everyone to vote.

Since last year, the Torrance No Kings protests have been a significant hallmark, gauging the growing resolve of this moment. The numbers of angry protests have rivaled the Black Lives Matter demonstrations and the opposition to COVID-19 health mandates from 2020 to 2021.

Most of the conservative political commentary reviewing the No Kings movement has mocked their self-righteous hypocrisy. These protesters call President Trump a king, but they said nothing when Barack Obama bragged about his phone and pen, and that he was not afraid to use them. They lavished slavish praise on Michelle Obama when she dressed to the nines for White House engagements: “Bow down to the Queen!” they laughed. Of course, they had no problem with senile Joe Biden’s health mandates and repeated efforts to use taxpayer dollars to pay off student loan debt, plus his repeated refusal to secure our border from millions of illegal migrants.

Yet they slam Trump as a wily, overbearing monarch. Of course there’s nothing serious about these protests. If the United States labored under the tyranny of an absolute monarch, they wouldn’t be allowed to protest him in the first place!

The last No Kings protest on October 17^th, 2026, in front of Torrance City Hall had all the markings of a big bust. No Kings turned into a No Show. There was even another planned protest in nearby Hermosa Beach, according to some ads, but one of the protesters in Torrance told me she hadn’t heard about it.

Walking up and down Torrance Blvd. on that Saturday morning, instead of the ten thousand progressive militants (mostly old hippies who missed the memo that the country has long moved past the 1960s), I saw a mere scattering of old woke white liberals standing still and sullen.

I remembered last year the organizers blaring chants on their bullhorns up and down Torrance Blvd. Last year, the sidewalks were teeming with angry liberals demanding the impeachment and removal of Trump while calling for mass confiscation of Elon Musk’s wealth and property. Since Musk’s falling out with the President and his departure from the White House following the DOGE reforms, the No Kings crowds don’t complain about him as much. With less than a month until Election Day, “low energy” was the vibe, and it was a weak one, at that.

This time, despite the lower numbers, the lack of wisdom, nuance, or appreciation for complexity was still considerable. Signs and banners were displaying all kinds of profanity and obscenity, just like before, and there were children present!

I had the opportunity to interview some of the No Kings people, and they didn’t disappoint in terms of the level of imbecility. One guy carried a “No More Stupid Wars” sign. When I asked him about Ukraine, he said he supported that. When I asked his thoughts about World War II, he supported that military effort to stop fascism around the world. When it came to Israel and Gaza, he talked about proportionality. What? War is about defeating the enemy so that they don’t attack you anymore. It’s not tit for tat!

Another discussion about the Democratic bench for the 2028 presidential election was really interesting. I had to ask, since Trump is not on the ballot in 2026, and he won’t be on the ballot in 2028 either. They should be thinking about the future! Strangely enough, the first few that I spoke with didn’t have any strong candidates to consider. How can they not be thinking about 2028? If they hate Trump so much, you would think they would have some candidate to idolize as the solution to all the nation’s ills. I brought Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and one lady remarked that he would be a great candidate. When I pointed out that the increasing anti-Semitism among Democratic grassroots could frustrate his campaign, another reluctantly agreed. Democrats are divided going into the next presidential election season, which might have explained why fewer people showed up at this No Kings Rally.

That’s good news for Republicans already, since Shapiro is the Democrats’ best bet for 20218.

I talked with a few other No Kings baby boomers, and they are leaning more towards retiring California Governor Gavin Newsom. This is lunacy on a whole new level. They live in California, too, I presume. I asked them how they feel about the homeless issue or the lack of road repair, or the high taxes and fees. They always turn the subject to something else. They prop up their candidate as a great leader, but when disaster or dysfunction defines their tenure, these progressives seem to think that the ideal candidate has no power or responsibility in the matter! One thing these protesters all agreed on: They don’t want Kamala Harris to run again!

In my last interview at the Torrance No Kings protest, I met an elderly couple demanding another impeachment of Donald Trump. Democrats tried twice to remove the guy, and not only did they fail, but Trump bounced back stronger than ever. The two senior Democrats were convinced that the third time would discourage Trump and he would just resign. “Are you prepared for President Vance?” I asked them. They didn’t want to discuss that. From there, they went on and on about trumped-up (pun intended) corruption charges against the President, while I asked them if they were OK with open borders under Joe Biden. We had a pretty civil conversation until the end, when the older man got in my face and told me he didn’t want to be recorded. His wife had to drag him away so that he didn’t cause more trouble.

Such was my experience at the latest No Kings protest: a lot of angry, old liberals who can’t explain or justify their anger with President Trump, who had no clear plans for the future, and, judging by the limited turnout, don’t have a lot of enthusiasm going into November!

Grenell Harasses Hermosa Beach Resident for Complaining About Campaign Text

(Response to Ambassador deploys FBI to former Hermosa commissioner’s home)

I wish that The Beach Reporter and written about this, so I am sharing what happened. On October 6th, 2026, Kent Allen, a Hermosa Beach resident, received an unexpected visit from the FBI. Ric Grenell , the former Ambassador to Germany under the Trump Administration, claimed that Kent Allen threatened him. What did he say? We don't know, because Grenell doesn't tell us, pretty much proving that Allen did nothing wrong. The fact is that Grenell got upset with a Hermosa Beach resident because he complained about a text message Grenell had sent out during the campaign season. If Grenell can't handle Hermosa Beach residents complaining about his campaign text messages, then he needs to get out of politics entirely. It is unconscionable and unbecoming for a former official to dispatch law enforcement after a private citizen simply for exercising his First Amendment rights. Trump did the right thing by getting rid of Ric Grenell. What an embarrassment he is! Perhaps the FBI should pay Grenell a visit for filing a false report!

Letter to the Editor: More Dirt on Maywood Academy

 

A more accurate logo for
Maywood Academy High School

After I wrote my article, The Maywood Academy High School Melee, Eight Years Later, one of my followers on Instagram wrote me this letter.

I was horrified by what I read.

See for yourself:

I worked at Maywood Academy the year before this incident [in 2018].

While I was there, we had fights every day, open drug sales, and students watching porn on their cell phones during class. I was told that the year before I started working there, there was an attempted rape of a female teacher in the locker room.

She was severely beaten by the aggressors and hospitalized (it never made the news). I was also informed that 80 % of the students had an IEP. It was actually a school for ED (emotionally disturbed) kids, but they also included a "magnet" program as a cover-up.

School police were never enough. We had LAPD at both am nutrition and lunch.

This is the norm in many schools across California.

Can anyone imagine that schools would become so unruly that city police would have to monitor the campus?

Students getting raped happens all too often, but the fact that teachers have been sexually assaulted is just too much.

How do teachers stay quiet in the midst of all this chaos and corruption? Why do so few speak out? Sure, there are teachers who want to keep their jobs, but why tolerate so much abuse for any paycheck?

Maywood Academy was the site for many crimes, both against children and perpetrated by children.

If this is what public education amounts to, then it's time to pull the plug and get your kids out!

Never Say Die to the American Dream (Book Review of Memoir by Ke Huy Quan)

For 80s kids like me, the movies of the era stay with you, even define you. One of the best is The Goonies. No film better encapsulates the courage and camaraderie of a bunch of boys taking on a challenge and winning. One of my favorite characters is Data, played by Chinese-American actor Ke Huy Quan. I enjoyed his quirkiness, resourcefulness, and humor, which captured the character of the movie.

I like Ke Huy Quan the actor, as well. This former child star had disappeared from Hollywood for years. Then in 2023, he made an incredible comeback in the multi-Academy Award-winning movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. He hit it so big that he won multiple awards during the 2023 season. More than a dream come true or a fantasy only in script houses, Quan’s comeback is the perfect Hollywood story.

Sadly, many child actors’ careers die in a graveyard of missed or misspent potential. They struggle in adulthood, having lost their money to unscrupulous guardians, or they suffer abuse in the industry. Many of them never renew their careers because Father Time has chased away their childhood charm. Ke Huy Quan broke away from that sad pattern, bent the rules, resisted the typecasting—and won big time. His unprecedented renaissance should inspire hope in all of us, and we can relive the amazing ups and downs in his memoir Never Say Die. This book is a must-read with a literary character that should remain on readers’ minds and library shelves for years to come.

His book begins with a hazy memory: his family’s flight from Vietnam during an increased crackdown on the Chinese community. This traumatic escape sets up a major theme in his story: that from a young age, he felt like an outsider trying to fit in. When he got into movies, he felt a sense of belonging, and he stood out among his peers and his family.

We learn about the trials he faced sitting in a jail cell when trying to flee Vietnam, and he endured this incarceration as a child! He walks us through the pain, the turmoil, and the confusion he faced entering Hong Kong as a refugee, then arriving in America. We celebrate his happier times as a famous child actor, but we also respect his perseverance when acting roles dried up, and he started working behind the camera to stay in Hollywood.

Quan’s parents feature prominently in the memoir, and deservedly so. He praises their endurance, their work ethic, and their commitment to giving their children the best life possible.

The subtle literary quality of Never Say Die stands out as Ke develops other key themes (no pun intended) throughout the book. In the first part of his memoir, he writes like a child, communicating with us from a childlike point of view. As the story progresses, the author’s style reflects his growth and awareness not just in what he shares, but in how he retells his history to us.

During his first unpleasant stay in a Vietnamese jail, Ke asks his father when they can go home. His father answers, “Soon.” As an actor in the United States getting back into the craft, Ke wonders if he can make it. His faithful, comforting, supportive wife of twenty years (whom Ke praises throughout the book) comforts him: “Soon.” Reading the author’s success building upon success, we connect how all of Quan’s challenges, frustrations, and disappointments have prepared him for the latest incredible, joyful period in his life.

Ke not only reveals his heart, mind, and soul, but he brings us into the emotionally riveting life of someone in relative obscurity suddenly vaulted into fame and fortune. You feel like you’re living this life with him!

Two of his encounters as a child actor stand out.

First, he became friends with world-renowned music superstar Michael Jackson during his unexpected visit to The Goonies film lot. The same world-famous Michael Jackson would call Ke at home and invite him to a private screening of one of Quan’s movies. Ke writes that the invitation didn’t go to his head, revealing his humble spirit even as an up-and-coming child star.

Ke also met Princess Di and Prince Charles during his press tour for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I loved how he described her in the book: “She felt normal. Kind, polite, genuine. I could see why people loved her.”

Those words describe Ke Huy Quan as well.

Those two encounters stand out specifically because they display how fame affects people in drastic ways. Jackson succumbed to physical problems and drug addiction because of constant public pressure. At one point, he lamented: “I am the loneliest person in the world.” Princess Di died from the excess of fame she endured, as she crashed in a Paris tunnel attempting to flee harassing paparazzi. Thankfully, through rise and fall and rising again to fame, Ke Huy Quan didn't suffer such a terrible fate as Di or MJ. That’s good news and a great story in itself. He didn’t suffer like other child actors after losing their stardom. Part of this success was due to his strong, supportive family. In fact, his mother stayed with him (and, incidentally, protected him) during his childhood film career. Too often, child actors lose themselves or even get harmed on film sets. (Watch An Open Secret for more information).

In the second part of his memoir, Ke describes the new life he would build for himself behind the camera, then chases his dream to return to acting. He writes with a warm, budding invitational tone, showing us how all the hard moments in his life fit together, putting him in the right place at the right time—all at once! After a small role in 2021, he auditioned for EEAAO at the producers’ request. Throughout the process, he exhibits a characteristic humility and gratitude, but also a newly found calm acceptance if he doesn’t get the role (which he is convinced is perfect for him, by the way!)

Ke Huy Quan’s humility is the most engaging aspect, a man you want to meet, whose stories you want to hear. He leads us intimately through what it’s like to be famous, to endure a career slump, then to be famous again, and to remember where you’ve come from.

Quan’s memoir ends with him speaking to the UNHRC Global Refugee Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. There, he revisits his experience as a refugee. Quan’s status as a refugee was both a distant memory and a source of shame for him, an identity he had been trying to flee or suppress. At this stage of his life, with a renewed career, all the pieces of his life, every step of the journey, come together, the same way that seemingly disparate elements in a timeless classic coalesce. After the event, he gets to connect with something very personal, so profound that I don’t want to spoil it for you—you need to read the book!

In his memoir Never Say Die, Ke Huy Quan, wunderkind turned wonderful adult, relishes everything, everywhere, all at once, and we enjoy the ride with him!

His big speech at the Academy Awards captures it all perfectly:

“My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. And somehow, I ended up here, on Hollywood’s biggest stage. This is the American dream!”
