New countries attacked by Iran, while Iranian media still denies they are attacking those countries. The only motivation that seems to make sense (to me) is explained in the next video.

By the way, it seems that Iran still has a somewhat unlimited supply of Shahed drones, or at least many, many more than countermeasures (like the Patriot missile)…[Read more]

About Pam Bondi making her lawyers immune from ethics violoations.

I’m not sure how only a few people here can make a difference, as suggested in the video, but you can read the first comment left by the author for details after clicking on the “View on youtube” link.

LOL, I knew I was chancing that you’d respond like that. She sounds clueless, but I haven’t heard the full context yet. I think she’s smarter than that, and definitely smarter than what some people want us to believe.

The news story did mention the s…[Read more]

Putin’s loss of Iran. Ukraine’s gain. 8-1/2 minutes:

In terms of cultish behavior, in this case theocratic, it struck me that what’s left of Iranian decision making has fallen back to beliefs that “everyone must be thinking just like us and should therefore know”, that we have the right to punish entire countries in OUR region, just for having hints of strong alliance with USA… EVEN as those…[Read more]

The following is almost 15 minutes long, but imo is at least worth a skim. (Check out the lightning in the beginning.)

(Am I on a confirmation bias binge right now!?) 10-1/2 minutes long:

Nice summary. I should admit now, I’m a fan of Jasmine, although I see her now becoming more adept at flashing political cliche’s during her campaign. But the GOP is still ten times more “intentionally naive” about ignoring their King’s openly naked lies and other transgressions.

It will take…[Read more]

It looks to me like what’s left of Iranian “leadership” is in suicide mode, whether intentionally acting self-destructively or not. IMO the lower echelons seem to be in some kind automatic (aka “brain dead”) response mode, repeatedly shooting themselves in their feet.

They managed to get other countries involved that said outright that they were…[Read more]

So thuggery is part of the training. There must be official, authoritarian playbooks out there, right? About 2 minutes long:

1 minute long:

Hegseth is pissed off that Anthropic has refused to hand over ChatGPT technology to the Pentagon. A bit over 1 minute:

What could possibly go wrong with trusting Pete with it, right?

But there is no constitutional provision that allows a president to suspend the Constitution or cancel elections indefinitely.

I’m not claiming he or his gang can do either of these.

I recommend hearing what Marc Elias has to say. He and his law firm have taken state cases to SCOTUS and made other appeals (if that’s…[Read more]

Bannon and his “Team” can stir the pot all they want, but if they can’t amend the Constitution to give Trump more time in office, it means nothing. And the amendment process is deliberately difficult under Article Five of the Constitution.

Yes, the US Constitution is very strong on this…

This is my wild guess. Seems to me that Bannon’s stirring the pot ahead of time, expecting MAGA (or some future evolution of MAGA) to own the presidency.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump gets sick enough to be unelectable, or could die before his term is up, but maybe there’s enough new deep state in place to act as a proxy in Trump’s name. Maybe…[Read more]

Anyone else have similar LLM experience? Is it weird or unexpected?

Not me, but I imagine a smart and geeky human could come up with a reasonable explanation.

It’s easier (for me) to just hallucinate one:
