What will America do without Joe?

Does it seem to you that your phone–or TV, or fridge–is listening to you, and feeding into your search results? Everything is becoming part of a worldwide network called the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Search gets to pick what goes into algorithms that determine what you see, and report to who-knows (the government?) what you do every minute. Big Brother anyone? A federal judge ruled, after a 10-week trial held last year, that Google is a monopoly, and uses its sheer size and weight to squash other companies. The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission, led by an anti-corporate all-star list (Attorney General Merrick Garland and FTC chief Lina Khan), have, in their Javertian quest to dismantle all of America’s top businesses, inadvertently uncovered that Big Search is really in collusion with the Harris campaign, and works not-so-subtly against former President Donald Trump. Over 80% of search engine requests go to Google, which increases to over 90% on mobile devices. This is because most browsers (and Google’s Chrome is the leader with 65%) automatically send anything typed in the URL bar that is not a web address to Google. Apple iPhones using Safari default to Google. Pretty much anything you type into a browser URL bar–when you begin typing–goes to Google for autocomplete. So when you start typing, for instance “Trump,” you might get a news story, or you might get something you didn’t want. Elon Musk noted that he searched for “Trump rally” on July 31st, after Kamala Harris held a rally in Atlanta, and above the actual search results, Google displayed news “top stories” about Harris’ rally. Just did a search for “Trump rally” on Google and Kamala was the top result! pic.twitter.com/WuklbVytq2— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2024 Further on down the page were the actual search results including “Trump” but that’s not what Google chose to show on top. I did a similar search just now and got a whole bunch of negative stories as the result and literally had to scroll down to see the link to Trump events. Google chooses what stories to show, and in what order. The search engine, which processes 9 out of 10 requests in the U.S., and sees in real time just about everything you type, along with all kinds of other data about you (watch a YouTube video? Listen to music? Use Nest thermostats? Navigate with Waze?), is determining what you see, and how you see it. That search engine was built by people, who now extend and maintain its grip on our tech-obsessed nation. Alphabet (Google’s parent company) employees donate to Democrat congressional candidates, 81.69% to 17.01% for Republicans, according to Open Secrets. In just the last few weeks since President Joe Biden stepped out of the race, Alphabet workers have given over a half million to Kamala Harris, and nearly $900,000 to the DNC. They’ve only given $38,964 to Trump. This is pretty typical for Silicon Valley. The folks who make the search engines know what they want, and they serve it to you daily. Now a federal court has determined that Google is a monopoly and will likely be forced to break up its search engine from its other holdings, so that your IOT-enabled devices will no longer be used to feed the algorithm, and not every browser will pass every keystroke to the leviathan Google. Will it matter? I think not. Elon Musk had to fire the majority of the woke-mind-virus infected staff at Twitter, now X, in order to even begin to steer the tech stack away from such behavior. And doing so put the company in peril, costing him billions. Do you think for a moment that breaking Alphabet and Google apart will change how data is being collected and used to promote the narrow political beliefs of far-left progressives in San Francisco? The fix is in for Big Search. From now until November, Kamala Harris can do no wrong, and when you search for Donald Trump, you’ll generally get the most negative coverage. It’s how the algorithm works. If you point this out, you’ll be accused of promoting the Big Lie. It’s not election fraud to program people’s minds, but it should be. The GOP picked Trump. I would not have picked him, because there are better candidates. But those who believe leftist talking points wanted the GOP to pick Trump, so then they could focus on all the reasons he shouldn’t be president, instead of focusing on the real issues they want to force feed America, whether we like them or not. Big Search is on Team Harris. A federal court is not going to fix this. That solution is going to have to come from you and me. Follow Steve on Twitter @stevengberman.
