Yeah, Pope…

It is dismal, so many people available for Trump to purchase. However, the grass roots rumblings have begun. When the recession hits, Trump is gonna need extra strength Depends ™.

The way I see it…in brief… (and very simplistically) is that human intelligence is a product of evolution. We started off with basic pattern recognition and cognitive functions that all evolved over time. Intelligence evolved and we began to “store” information. If we saw another person attacked by a lion, we did not make the same error. We refl…

Reg, Is it just me or is AI art deliberately formulaic and creepy? All the AI visual art that I’ve seen looks like art in The Watchtower or a H.R. Giger painting! That work above looks like a panel from Jack Chick if he did illusrated nursery stories like he did his religious tracts. YEEECH!

Oh yeah…creepy as fuck b…[Read more]

How exciting. During his third term we can parade our “Jesus missiles” across DC and round up all the pesky godless atheists and gays. We will shut down Ford and Chevy so we can all drive “Teslurs”.

Our brave spiritual leader:

Truely dumber than a box of hammers.

I had chicken once. Tastes like possum.

The concept of “government free” free market is so cute. The drive for any company is always to monopolize, crush start-ups, control pricing and optimize profit over any and all social, environmental, or human welfare concerns. As an engineering manager with a 20 million annual budget working on a 250-million-dollar project; I was high enough to…[Read more]

Wondering if all of this slashing of services and tariff waring will actually result in tax cuts for what is left of the middle class. I doubt it will be more than a token break. It is the upper middle working class that carries the burden. People such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants who get a W2 and honest small business owners as…[Read more]

The country is chock full of “single issue” voters who align with one party or the other. I do not agree that hating Jews or supporting Hamas is “liberal” or “left”.

White Christian Nationals despise Jews. Israel is just a necessary piece of the prophecy that brings their Jeebus back. If Israel goes away without the rapture, so does the whole…[Read more]

Well, we allow billionaires who own mass media channels and social media websites to contribute hundreds of millions to political candidates.

Go ahead and tell me about “free” speech. What a crock of bullshit. Speech is not free…it is for sale and is owned by billionaires.

Having professional, educated people who are experts in their areas and…[Read more]

Robert,

If you think any of that (some that were honest mistakes) even compares to today’s Fox news or Newmax, you are nuts. They tell more lies a day than the multi-decade events you posted. Just look at our president, what an honest guy…literally controlling the chicken-shit media, suing the crap out of them. No, you…

Robert,

I remember the days when TV news agencies were not hype-driven profit centers. Newspaper reporting was serious business, and reliable sources were a requirement. Retractions were printed if mistakes were made. It’s almost like people had…….what’s that word…..it’s been so long…..Oh yes, “integrity”.…

I remember the days when TV news agencies were not hype-driven profit centers. Newspaper reporting was serious business, and reliable sources were a requirement.  Retractions were printed if mistakes were made.

It’s almost like people had…….what’s that word…..it’s been so long…..Oh yes, “integrity”. I vaguely remember that.

And none of them are located in an area where you would want to stay parked any length of time, let alone overnight. And California is no model for anything, with rolling blackouts, plus riots, mud-slides, fires, and incompetent emergency response to destroy utility access. And the New Urbanism approach of cramming people into high-density cities…[Read more]

Robert,

It’s the scientific consensus. As usual, I defer to the best experts I can find, such as the EPA.

The EPA page assumes falsely that wind and solar can provide enough electricity for the nations entire power needs, let alone electric vehicles, even with all the Kennedys and other Eco-Wackos opposing the wind f…

Seaside, Florida, is a pioneering example of New Urbanism, designed to create a walkable, community-focused environment with traditional town elements and a focus on pedestrian and bicycle traffic over cars. It is set up like spokes on a wheel, with a shopping area at the center. You can easily walk to shop, dine, or go to the beach.

Trouble is,…[Read more]

When Trump starts talking science, I know we are about to hear words of wisdom from a stable genius. No one else has such complete grasp of astrophysics, medical science, chemistry, mechanics, electronics, particle physics…..I could go on, the list is long. Just give the man the Nobel Peace Prize already, I am sure he thinks he deserves it. Oh,…[Read more]
