I’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE: Prisons Using AI to Predict When Incarcerated People Will Commit Future Crimes.

Michigan is set to deploy a major new AI system to prisons across the state, meant to classify incarcerated people based on “how dangerous they are.”

That’s according to Detroit channel Fox2, which reports that the Michigan Department of Corrections is plowing ahead with an inmate categorization algorithm that will sort people into various housing levels.

In Michigan, incarcerated people are separated into five housing levels according to their security classification. In the past, screenings were performed by a committee of staff appointed by the Warden at each facility. Now, it seems the state wants to outsource that decision — or at least have it be heavily informed by — a non-profit tech company called Recidiviz.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:

If its pilot episode gets picked up by NBC, I’m sure The Great Gatsby as police procedural will make the book much more acceptable to younger readers…

REQUIRED READING:

DHS built an electronic spreadsheet with 30 columns of data explaining their verification.

LA County, California, and idiots in the press scream like stuck pigs that the list is inaccurate when their idiotic concern about “cyber security” meant they worked off a hard copy with only 8 columns of data.

Bookmark this post for later — it is going to turn out to be the case that the 20,000 name list is going to be quite accurate. Certainly not 100% because of multiple individuals having the same name in large counties, but it is going to be a significant percentage when all the analysis is done.

If there’s a better explanation for the county’s actions than “in your face cheating,” I don’t know what it is.

WE’LL KNOW THE OUTCOME SOON ENOUGH (Or a Month or So From Now):

BEST-SELLER ON GOD: Michel Yves-Bollore and Olivier Bonnassies are French co-authors of a 538-page deep-dive entitled “God: The Science, The Evidence – the dawn of a revolution.” First published in 2021 in French, this massive work came to the U.S. in 2025 and has sold more than 400,000 copies.

But this book is not a theological tome; it is rather an engaging chronicle of why and how, the authors contend, “we are living through an amazing moment in the history of knowledge. Advances in mathematics and physics have turned questions once thought to be forever beyond the reach of human knowledge — questions about the nature of time and eternity, it’s beginning, its end, and the improbably unfolding of the fine-tuning of the Universe, and of the appearance of life — into objects of scientific study.”

Written in a carefully detailed and easily understood prose that engages laymen in exploring the far frontiers of the possible, this is a book that  will still be read decades from now. Highly recommended and for a taste of it, check out this review on HillFaith, focused on the “Thermal Death” of the Universe. Not to worry, none of us will be around!

SOCIALISTS, I HATE THESE GUYS: Socialism on the ballot: Races to watch in the DSA orbit as the ‘squad’ may expand.

DSA-backed candidates could expand the socialist contingent in the House beyond prominent members such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

Two DSA-endorsed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District and Melat Kiros in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, unseated established Democrats in their primaries. They have already discussed plans to demand policy concessions from Democrats running for speaker of the House, should the party win the majority next week.

In addition to Chevalier and Kiros, the DSA has endorsed Donavan McKinney (Mich., 13), Claire Valdez (N.Y., 7), Chris Rabb (Pa., 3), Angela Gonzales-Torres (Calif., 34), Mai Vang (Calif., 7), and Lauren Jewett (La., 1).

I have seen the future: The Democrat Party Is a Socialist Skinsuit. “Gordillo is here to tell you that not only is the Democrat Party dead, but he and his DSA comrades wear its skinsuit.”

THE SUPPLY OF CREEPY GIANT LEFTIST NGOS SEEMS ENDLESS:

WE NEED MORE POWER, PERIOD:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: So…Anything Happening This Week? “Whatever happens on Tuesday (or whenever everything finally gets sorted out), we at least got to enjoy a wild 11th-hour surprise in Michigan yesterday. Democrats were trying to force a tortured Kumbaya moment between Abdul El-Sayed and the woman he defeated in the primary, Haley Stevens. That went over like the Titanic hitting the iceberg while the Hindenburg crashed into it as Milli Vanilli played on.”

CHANGE: Colombia’s ‘El Tigre’ takes fight to cartels as Trump alliance takes shape.

Colombia’s new president, known by the nickname of “El Tigre.” was voted in on a law-and-order ticket and so far his actions in fighting the cartels are seemingly paying dividends — not just in Colombia but in Washington, too.

Recently, he arrived at the Barranquilla police command around the early hours of the morning as 587 police officers and soldiers raided 50 locations across the Caribbean port city and its suburbs in Operation Blindaje 360. A few days earlier, domestic Colombian news outlets had widely publicized a recording intercepted by Colombian police of “Keko,” the alleged leader of a gang called “Los del Freseo,” boasting that de la Espirella had nothing on him.

“The Tiger’s got nothing. Let him come out, and we’ll put lead in him,” Keko allegedly said on the recording.

Then, before dawn, Colombia’s president had tracked him down and was face to face with him, all caught on tape.

According to a video released by his presidential office, El Tigre told Keko the gang leader was “a tough guy on the phone… but the look of the fear on his face matched that of his many victims.” The sweep ended with 72 arrests.

They’re all tough guys against unarmed civilians.

SUE HER FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY. THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT.

A federal lawsuit — and prosecution — for interference with civil rights would probably apply too.

WELL, LEFTISTS ARE EVIL, SO. . . .

DISPATCHES FROM THE RELIGION OF PEACE:

THEY MEAN BUSINESS:

From the linked essay:

Their economic doctrine is neo-feudal central planning wrapped in environmental hysteria. By mandating the death of the internal combustion engine, outlawing natural gas, and tethering the world’s greatest industrial powerhouse to intermittent windmills and Chinese-made solar panels, they are engineering energy poverty by design. Tripling electricity rates and normalizing rolling blackouts are features of a system built to break middle-class independence. While coastal elites lecture working families from private jets, they push national rent control policies proven to annihilate housing supply. Driving private landlords into bankruptcy clears the field for the state to become the sole arbiter of shelter, reducing self-reliant property owners to desperate tenants begging federal bureaucrats for a roof.

In the streets, they have unleashed a regime of calculated lawlessness designed to terrorize the productive class. Abolishing cash bail for violent predators, downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, and installing rogue prosecutors who legalize rampant theft have turned once-thriving metropolitan centers into boarded-up wastelands. They release career criminals into your neighborhoods and prosecute the lawful citizen who dares to defend his family. Exporting this urban carnage to suburbs and rural towns is a deliberate strategy: manufacture unbearable chaos until a terrified populace surrenders its liberties in exchange for authoritarian state control.

Needless to say, read the whole thing.
