"The U.S. is two economies. There's an enormous AI boom going on, huge investments, particularly in data centers. If you took that out of the numbers and you just looked at the non-AI parts of the economy, it's basically flatlining. We're on the cusp of a non-AI recession."

Not just the "thought police" she really, seriously means the "thought-police" (hyphen).

Why did you use a hyphen for thought-police?

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is convinced, against all evidence, that Portland is a war zone.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

I'd like the Senate stripped of judicial appointment powers & have the initial appointment powers vested in the judiciary itself. Haven't thought through details or pitfalls though.

Guess where these will go if Ukraine falls. And the more you ignore Ukraine the higher is the chance. Donate to a verified Ukrainian charity, contact your representative and ask for more action to help Ukraine, do something. That is your security too.

⚡️Russia unleashed 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and 1,360 guided bombs on Ukraine in just one week, Zelenskyy says.

He warned that Moscow is escalating strikes while the world’s attention is on the Middle East and urged tougher sanctions and tariffs on Russia.

DELETE THIS NOW.

While they may be effective against some types of gas or spray, swim goggles are NOT effective protection against projectiles.

Your advice is well-intended but it may lead to serious harm.
