The whole SAVE Act they're pushing is just voter suppression. To keep the Republican House/Senate majorities so Trump doesn't get impeached, convicted, removed, and jailed.

Have you been hearing about the "Walk For Peace"? Two dozen Tibetan monks walked from Ft Worth TX to Washington DC. 2,300 miles, 110 days, 20 miles/day. In bitter cold and snow. Often barefoot. Sending a message of peace. Be nice to people. See:

When we were kids, wouldn't such a whiny, spoiled brat be smacked and told to sit in the corner? And all the other kids approved?
Why did the US decide it was better to elect him president? It's now acceptable, even admirable, to be self-serving?

You should go to such meetings too! If only to add 1 more sensible person to the mix. Even if you don't say anything, you're still 1 more person NOT applauding when crazy things are said.

People say that GPT AI engines sometimes hallucinate. That's not true.
EVERYTHING a GPT AI says is a hallucination.
Most of it happens to be true, but the AI engine isn't trying to be true or false. Has no idea what that even means. See:
- bristle.com/Tips/AI.htm#...
Enjoy!

US farmers call out Trump's lies about tariffs: "As far from the truth as you can get". Tariffs are killing them! They ask his advisors to educate him on how production agriculture actually works.

Trump raking in billions illegally as President. Somewhere between $5 and $15 billion and counting. Likely much higher. In the end, it all comes out the pockets, investments, and retirement plans of the US taxpayers. Disgusting!

As I predicted, it's going to cost MORE to retrofit the "free" Air Force One that Qatar gave Trump than to build a new one from scratch. And after he uses it for a few months he gets to keep it for himself. HUGE cost to the US taxpayers. Doh! --Fred
