Albert Einstein born on this day, March 14, 1879.

It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mcΒ².

Iran is only shutting down the Strait of Hormuz *because* Donald Trump launched this wholly unnecessary operation. These people are so stupid.

Alleged image of Trump and blindfolded girls isn't what it seems One social media user dared "someone" to say a photo didn't show Trump. We took up the challenge.

❌ No, this image doesn't authentically show Trump sitting in a room looking at a group of blindfolded girls. We found the image came from an AI-generated video: www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

The Resistance Comes for OpenAI A $150 Billion Pushback

A year ago, I predicted the first CEO who forcefully and publicly resisted Trump could reap significant benefits, both reputationally and commercially.

With its reputation for breaking barriers and the boldness chromosome in its DNA, I thought/hoped it would be Nike. But Dario Amodei just did it.

An important thread. But something is missing.

The refusal of Republicans to hold Trump accountable AND ALSO to exercise the least little responsibility on confirmations would have mitigated this risk.

Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Murkowski and Collins all KNEW Whiskey Pete would push war crimes.

The SAVE Act is DOA. Their redistricting plans blew up in their face. And now they're stuck in an ever-widening war. They know Dems will retake the House come the midterms. And maybe even the Senate. They're desperate. But all they can do is post empty threats on social media. Pathetic and weak.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries β€” including China β€” to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.

A galactic humiliation.

He doesn’t get his name on any buildings after he is removed from office, but we should also not forget his criminality, the full extent of which is currently unknown.
