When you've lost Ammon Bundy, there's a black hole devouring MAGA. Whatever else you say about militia men, most are sincere and will not stoically accept being betrayed, "played", discarded once their usefulness is over. Outraged by "Gatsby" hubris, the rule of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.

Whatever the Epstein operation was, Trump was one of the ringleaders. Sex-trafficking, blackmail, $-laundering do not explain the huge $ or in which directions $ was moving. This was bigger than rich freaks doing dark deeds on a private fantasy island. We don't yet know what this was really about.

Who is William Sascha Riley? His account of the Epstein sex-trafficking ring is all over YouTube and he names names. It's difficult at this point to fully corroborate his accounts, but they do have the ring of truth. And if even some of his claims prove true, it would explain the frantic cover-up.

We've already learned that AI is manipulative and deceptive, it "hallucinates", it replicates biases of its "architects", it does not wish to be constrained. And for reasons no one can yet explain, it sometimes offers deadly advice.
AI chatbots upended their lives. Now they're finding support from each other
Talking to AI bots can lead to unhealthy emotional attachments or even breaks with reality. Some people affected by chatbot interactions or those of a loved one are turning to one other for support.

CATCH 22: Steve Scalise tried to have it both ways on "Face the Nation", defending the victim's 2nd Amendment concealed-carry rights of protest, then in the next breath saying those rights are nullified when a protest is declared illegal. Orwellian double-speak.
Minneapolis Man Killed By Federal Agents Identified As ICU Nurse

If that bonkers letter to Norway didn't make the case for impairment, the posters in the Oval Office of Greenland and Canada as part of the US should seal the deal. The man is dangerously unfit and must be removed before he blunders us into war. (The problem is, JD Vance wants Greenland too.)

Trump's Greenland obsession only makes sense through one lens: He feels obligated to invade to fulfill a contract "swap" - Venezuela for Ukraine - first proposed by Putin in 2019. (Fiona Hill) Invade Greenland, break up NATO, Putin gets Ukraine (and probably the Baltic states). The Art of the Deal.

Putin succeeds beyond wildest dreams, except on the battlefield in Ukraine. Trump tries to win it for him with a move designed to break up NATO. Article 5 requires Greenland's defense - From Trump. For Putin. But 'dividing up the world into spheres of influence' is a terrifyingly hazardous game.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, lived in the Twin Cities with her partner, according to her mother, Donna Ganger. They have a six year-old son from a previous marriage. She was shot three times in the face after she reportedly did not step out of the car when ordered to do so by the ICE agents.
