So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

A VPN is most commonly used when traveling to protect one from necessary connections to open networks or public networks. Of course, with 5G cellular speeds this is less of a problem than it was.

Whenever Tom Cotton speaks of war he looks like he’s struggling to hide his joy. Is he a closet sociopath?

This is what happens when a US President routinely communicates with Russia’s leader.

Imagine the wonderful advice he routinely receives from our foe. What could possibly go wrong?

I find it concerning that few realize what AI will bring.

It is reported that in China there are now, entire factories with no lighting. Simply robotic manufacturing occurring around the clock, light or dark, under full AI supervision.

I foresee a bright future under the rockets red glare.

It doesn’t have to be better. If it works at all then for some people it is better. For some, intermittent fasting is much easier than consistent calorie restriction.

There is an assumption that a weakened religious group will become reasonable. Perhaps they will. We don’t know. But… it is my experience that true believers, when attacked, become less reasonable and more radical.

The lack of an articulate coherent strategy serves to highlight my concerns.

It is my understanding 4 US troops have died in this conflict. Air campaigns are clearly military campaigns that carry risk of death for our military.

On the Today show a TV clip inserted β€œto obey the President” into our federal employee oath of office.

The oath is actually to support and defend the constitution and bear true faith and allegiance to the same. We are not to swear allegiance to any one person or office. We have no king.

If you’ve watched Jennings over the years you should realize he will say anything they pay him to say.

Whatever Jennings says is essentially meaningless.

β€œAll the Ash We Leave Behind”
This is a story of humanity and the creations we endow with both our flaws and our virtues. The one always battling the other. What rises beyond these is always hope. Until the vey last moment we always hope for redemption. Will we find it? That is the question of life.

Foreign policy by means of extortion will not last.

Sure, we are a powerful military. Even so, the rest of the world will eventually tire of threats and extortion. What happens then?

Okay. America. Now he’s gotten us into a fucking war WITHOUT congressional approval! Americans are going to die for Trump & Netanyahu’s pissing match to see who can be the craziest dictator.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Remove this rapist insurrectionist rat bastard from office now!

I really wish people would stop saying what the Epstein files do or do not say about Trump.

In addition to redactions and mysteriously missing files, there are at least 3 million files being withheld.

Until all the files are released and un-redacted we have no idea how deeply Trump is involved.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

How can a child taken into the United States by an adult be considered a criminal? As a minor, they had no choice but to obey whoever their parent or guardian was. Perhaps the adult could be charged, but to consider a minor a criminal seems absurd.

Why are they arresting them?

The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem How did the GOP become a haven for slogans and ideas straight out of the Third Reich?

If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of powerβ€”and the streets of American citiesβ€”it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home.

β€œI would never call a President of the United States of any party a fucking piece of shit on a podcast, until today. He is a fucking piece of shit. This is where we are. I want to go back to an America where I can’t make the case that the president is a fucking piece of shit.”

Last night I watched two different Youtube videos that were objectively wrong - which I knew because I had been present at the events in question - and it really highlights the old saying: The more I read online about things I'm an expert in, the less I trust anything I read on the internet at all.

There is no actual value for bit coin. Yes it is worth what others will pay for it but as a digital instrument it has no use beyond that. Ethereum can be used for contracts and other written instruments.

Gold is non-corrosive and highly conductive thus it has physical value.

β€œBe kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

Be kind.

People are often trying their best, even when it may not look or feel that way to us.
Some, most, are working far harder than we will ever know.
