The Trump Administration is simply untrustworthy.

 (click here)

This was in Saudi Arabia. Trump/Hegseth are just letting the military be destroyed. I am fairly sure it can be called treason. Soldiers are dead.

If they won't protect the military, they aren't protecting the country. Hegseth simply started dropped bombs and kept going without regard to the national security of the country.

It is just outrageous the abuse of power of this administration. And now they want to get their hands on AI. I don't think so.

NVIDIA is about Wall Street profits (click here). NVIDIA is in the minority when it comes to expressing caution about the technology. 

Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin (click here) are deeply concerned about the deployment of tools like ChatGPT. As co-founders of the Center for Human Technology, they are on a mission to close the gap between what the world hears publicly about A.I. and what the people closest to the risks and harms inside A.I. labs are telling them.

AI Czar

 Most probably a violation of the ICC (click here)

This is about national security, but, does anyone trust Trump to handle this without exploiting every company in the country?

Trump is too dangerous to trust.

I think the industry protections fall under Patent and Copyright (Click here).

There is no policy for AI in the USA. The Republicans have insisted on "hands off" when it comes to the ITs. 

Trump is too cozy with corruption and racketeering and Jarad Kushner to allow such a Czar to demand cooperation with the industry. 

Artificial intelligence (click here) is no longer confined to futuristic demos or novelty apps — it’s now embedded in how business, governments and consumers work and interact with the web. From generative AI that powers content creation, to self-driving cars, to AI-driven breakthroughs in medicine, the technology is reshaping nearly every sector and continues to grow in popularity.

With investors clamoring and the technology cross-pollinating countless industries, we’ve rounded up some AI companies and startups worth keeping an eye on....

Putin needs to leave Ukraine.

No country in the world hates the Russian people. It is a matter of expansionism and aggression that kills people and jeopardizes the health and future of children. The war with Ukraine was a huge mistake given the fact the Ukrainian people were working very hard to be a partner to those to the east and west of their borders, including cleaning up corruption. 

President Zelenskyy has been nothing short of remarkable. He and his wife have stood by the Ukrainian people during all this time. The ability of a leader to maintain the dignity and direction of his people is to be admired. 

Perhaps the elections in Russia are finally revealing the dissatisfaction of the people and the Kremlin is finally paying attention.

Europe needs to decide what is next. I know they want the border incursions to stop. That most probably has to take place before unification talks begin. Vladimir might have an ally in Trump, but, the rest of the world doesn't share that sentiment.

September 19, 2026

Russian President Vladimir Putin (click here) claimed that Moscow is prepared to resume cooperation and restore diplomatic relations with its European neighbors, asserting that Russia harbors no hostile intentions toward the European continent, Russian state news agency TASS reported on Friday, Sept. 18.

Speaking during a meeting of Russia’s Military-Industrial Commission, the Russian leader insisted that the Kremlin remains open to re-establishing bilateral dialogue despite years of acute geopolitical confrontation since Moscow launched its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

“We are ready to cooperate and restore relations with our European neighbors,” Putin stated, adding that Moscow maintains no aggressive designs against European states....

The Republican Congress has endangered this democracy.

They don't deserve a raise. Not even a raise in their expense accounts. The job of legislating as a representative of a constituency means staying in touch with the issues of the people, not becoming part of a corrupt administration where anything goes.    

There is the THEORY that making it worth their while to actually represent the people might be what is needed. WRONG. This federal congress has been willing to push this democracy over the cliff. They are beyond rehabilitation even if it is money they lust after.

September 18, 2026
By Kyle Khan-Mullins,

Most people, (click here) if given the chance, would jump at the opportunity to give themselves a raise. Not members of Congress. Every year since 2009, members—seemingly terrified of backlash from voters—have opted to deny themselves a pay bump from their $174,000 annual salary, even as inflation eats away at the value of a dollar. Over 18 years, those denials have added up. Today, rank-and-file members of Congress earn less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than at any point since the 1950s....

Vance needs to be careful.

I am certain Mr. Cobb isn't attempting to threaten the press, right? Mr. Cobb is simply reflecting on the tragedy happening inside this democracy currently based on Trump's past temper tantrums.

Trump is ruthless. What else is new?

My deceased uncle worked in the transportation business all his life at a variety of capacity. When he met someone unreasonable in demands he would say, "He has no scruples."

All my senior relatives died at ripe old ages over 80, including my Late Uncle.

...Cobb also pointed to reports (click here) about Trump’s behavior in the past when things haven’t gone his way.

“Keep in mind, this is a man who was willing to tolerate the hanging of his vice president on Jan. 6th, 2021, in order to prevent the peaceful transfer of power,” Cobb said. “He wants to be a bully. He is a bully, and this is his chance to punch down on people at the end of a week where the courts and the facts beat him pretty badly
.”


The Tabloid President

The tabloid president is having trouble accepting mainstream media? He owns the problem because banning media from
The White House is a violation of the First Amendment.

The Education Department is a disaster.

The only way this even becomes reasonable is to cancel the debt and absorb the cost of these loans. They are playing with credit rating and preventing contacts from being satisfied. 

It is racketeering and very illegal. Contract law is explicit to it's terms and conditions. Everything is in writing. Any and all legislation effecting the contracts is also in writing and explicit.

The only reason his is occurring is because there is not enough staff and the administration is attempting to shut down the department which can only occur with Congressional legislation.

Student loan borrowers (click here) pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) face significant processing delays. Education Department lags are preventing some qualifying payments from being credited, forcing many to continue payments on their student loans long after meeting the 120-payment requirement. The department's tracking system is failing to update for July, August, and September, leaving borrowers in limbo and unable to receive a discharge. Numerous frustrated individuals report completing their service months ago but still await official loan forgiveness. Options are limited; administrative forbearance is unavailable without confirmed payments, and general forbearance has downsides. Borrowers should maintain records and file complaints, though these channels also experience backlogs.

As good as gold.

The Kennedy Center is full of treasure and is why Trump wants to deconstruct the building and use the materials for his own purpose.

With these treasures I do believe The Center is unvalued and can borrow with a mortgage to conduct any repairs.

Congress can appropriate monies to pay back the mortgage. Fund raising must be allowed to go forward with proper oversight.

Vote - Stop the draft


Vote against the war expansion and the burgeoning draft of out citizens. The Israeli war will be the reason for the citizen draft into military service.


 Early balloting in the USA has started. 


(click here)

Vote while there is still a two party system!


BE FEARLESS!


GO, America, GO!



The Pentagon. That was the Pentagon as in Hegseth, Secretary of Defense is lying to us about soldier deaths (click here).


Trump is attempting to violate the NATO treaty again by bribing Russia with USA business so Putin will end the war (click here). Does anyone expect Putin to end the war with additional income from the USA? 


End the AI invasion.


Trump's administration is completely unhinged to satisfy his ego driven racism. (click here).




(Trump's FAA Director)
Trump's FAA approves the Trump Arch (click here) It requires an eternal flame so pilots can see it. The Vietnam Veterans are suing to end the assault against Washington, DC defacement.


The Trump administration (click here) announced it will break ground on a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington Cemetery within the next two weeks—the latest among a series of costly Capitol renovations under President Donald Trump.



Trump's Vanity Project Costs

Trump's Arch - $100 million

Trump's Ballroom - $927 million
(basically $1 billion)

Trump's Reflecting Pool - $19 million 

Kennedy Center - $285 million

Eisenhower Executive Bldg. - $7.5 M


Hero Gardens - $40 million

Rose Garden - $1.9 million

The total is about $1.3 billion

And people in this country don't have health care. Amazing.


The Trump family affiliation with Russia is grossly inappropriate and must stop.

The Trump family MUST stop their affiliation with Russia. It is corruption through and through. There is no other name for it. When Vladimir Putin's surrogate pays a lot of money for a three day wedding for the president's son, that is nothing but corruption.

September 15, 2026
by Brett Murphy, Joshua Kaplan, Justin Elliott and Alex Mierjeski

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee (click here) launched an investigation into Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship with a Russian oligarch who paid for much of Trump Jr.’s wedding earlier this year.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., sent two letters on Monday to the White House and Trump Jr. requesting records related to Trump Jr.’s financial relationship with the oligarch, Umar Kremlev.

“The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns,” Garcia wrote. Garcia told Trump Jr. it “may be the most serious allegation against you to date.” The letter to Trump Jr. asked for documents including Trump Jr.’s communications with Kremlev and “financial records of all purchases made for your wedding by foreign nationals.”...

Trump is a sell out. He does favors for Russia like having Cash Patel attack Canada. When out allies are a target it makes Russia stronger. Russia uses that news inside Russia as propaganda to win favor with their citizens. There is no way that is even proper. I don't want to hear it. Business between allies is done through meetings and treaties. Patel and Trump are wrong and it needs to stop.

There is no opposition party in Russian elections this year. This is exactly what Trump is trying to achieve. He is being mentored by Putin.

A couple of things to cover today. One is Medicare for All.

Senator Sanders has been asking for the people to tell their Congresspersons to vote for a bill that would bring all Americans under "Medicare for All." He is correct. I will show you why.

We all know the issues, too expensive and rationing of services that endanger lives and diminish human potential and quality of life. That can be eliminated.

I have issues that most Americans don't. I subscribe to Blue Care Network Medicare Advantage. I pay approximately $210 per month for this plan. The deduction from my Social Security Check and $35.00 extra. I have complaints and I will cover them later, but, this is more important right now. There is a lot right with what is happening with me.

This procedure occurred Wednesday. I have a genetically odd right kidney. As I age it is becoming a problem in that it is developing mineral deposits most commonly known as kidney stones. The procedure was to introduce a catheter with a lazar to break the stones and remove them. This was performed in an operating room and not a clinical setting that most folks call "Same Day Surgery." I went home after the procedure, it is just that in surgery I have a higher risk and an OR rather than a clinic setting is the only option.

Okay. So $210 per month payment and here is the bill.

Co-pay $375.00 for a surgery costing more than $38,000.00. That is more than reasonable considering the excellent care I receive. The staff is great and I went home without complications. 

Every American no matter their age deserves this level of care with this minimal expense. If I can't handle the co-pay immediately there are payment plans that offer monthly breakdowns. But $375.00 is an incredible reality I can't complain about. Do any of the Americans suffering under insurance expense and compromised coverage and quality of life believe they are not worth Medicare for All? 

This is a good idea and it needs to pass into law. 

Seriously. 

Let's do this.

Public comment needs information. Newspapers have helped citizens for more than a century.

 Appreciate the Main Stream Media.

The New York Times is celebrating it's anniversary today. (click here)

175 Amazing years informing the citizens of this country about events that shape our Free World lives.

Freedom requires information. Information without tainting or interference. This democracy relies on the truth. 

Much has changed since the publication debuted on September 18, 1851. What hasn’t changed, staff members say, is the paper’s mission



Thursday, September 17, 2026

Whatever happened to public comment?

A public comment period for the Kennedy Center would solve all problems and a roadmap for the future including an initial Congressional appropriation followed by fundraising for the future. The public needs to be happy with ALL IMPROVEMENTS to the building while maintaining the integrity to the art and performances. There is a lot of family to be sure the center always reflects the values of the Late President Kennedy.

It needs its own constitution and by laws to protect it from this level of exploitation. If name changes take place all kinds of financial arrangements could be attached to it.

The center maintains a non-profit status and reflects John Kennedy’s values of civil rights and the movements shaping inclusion and elimination of racism and injustice. The same holds true for any aspect of the Smithsonian. These institutions need to work for all the people including our melting pot of culture and color. Art expression is so important to a healthy society as is truthful history. 

If I wanted to be Queen.

How would I go about taking over the strongest and best democracy of all time with a military priority to guard the very people that are my subjects?

This is a political map of the USA House of 2024. 

It is a daunting task. My predecessors were very successful in securing large tracks of land and a good number of people, but, I will have to over come half the country.  

I suppose I could attack the population of lefties and socialists by removing any and all immigrants back to the beginning of time. That would work and preferably place them in prisons and jails in countries I know they could never return. The courts might be a problem, but, not if I have loyalists in the Department of Homeland Security among the recruits of ICE. I would make it the loyalists benefit in doing the work I order because they can be awarded higher salaries and benefits than they could get in the private sector. I think most of the training is common sense anyway.

Then what?

Well. The Red States are mostly Red States and already loyal to my party. So, that means I only have to terrify and demoralize the blue seats. So, fearlessly target the blue states and districts above all others. That is where all the sympathizers are and they can be arrested, too.

But, there may still be enough voters left over to end this constitution and I promised those patronizing my hijacked media that they would never have to vote again once I am queen. I need to make good on that.

The governors.

The state governors can demand redistricting and add more House of Representatives to the Red Side. My side on election day. Once there are enough PERMANENT Red Districts, the voting won't be necessary. Heck, opposition parties won't be necessary. At that point I think I can declare the USA Constitution dead. 

The same dynamic will have to play out in the Senate. But, there it is six year terms. Governors don't have control necessarily. I will just have to put my thumb on the scale, but, that takes money. I have to maintain my wealth for my sons and daughters upon my death. My husband will probably leave me for the lousy bitch I will become, so he will get his fair share before I die anyway. I will just keep assistants that can accommodate me when I need to enjoy my body's demands. I am old enough to control pregnancy so that won't be an issue. The sweet things can go about pleasing me worry free. Money talks. They will be fine. Heck, money even votes.

But, the money I need will have to come from those wealthy enough to benefit by my powers. So, the ideology of million/billion/trillionaires (I will be the first, of course. I own the currency.) will translate down well to the pion voters who are too poor and uneducated to do anything but dream of the money they can get from me with my powers. They are so mired with undereducation and bad habits they cannot earn enough now. Paycheck to paycheck. 

So. Let's see. The one percent are my besties. The techie besties are even popular. Eminent Domaine is oppositional, unpopular, judicial and such a burden, let's see. Ah, the EPA and Interior.

So, let me recap, terror of authority, appreciation for wealth, gold standard is very popular, bullying the allies because I am the Superpower and can take all the resources I need, land is good, resorts and gambling everywhere, sell pieces of the National Parks and the states most corrupt with my constituency will follow, jerrymandering, aliening with the communists because Israel need to conquer the Middle East for it's oil and I don't want the interference, kill as many Shi'ite holy lineage women I can find, regime change when the people in Iran revolt, the UN Security Council is already a mute issue, and I think that is it.

Oh.

Wait.

I forgot about God. I will write my own rules for morality and watch those that laugh at it die. Because they are the demons that demonize everything.

That should do it.

continued???????

The Republicans are trying to create controversy. The fact is the war in the Middle East is going badly.

Iran experienced a surprise unprovoked attack that killed it's Supreme Leader. Anyone sincerely think the Shia Crescent would not erupt?

Trump's PR team wants a focus on Natalie; is that her name; because if the public is talking about her rather than the Middle East. She is Trump's assistant. What is there to talk about. He gives everyone under the sun who is loyal to him national security clearance. He is a racketeer. End of discussion.

There was a Town Hall in Michigan for the candidates for USA Senate and Mike Rogers didn't attend. He is saying he never agreed to it. So if he never attended he missed out on having his views heard while responding to voters in the audience. He cannot complain the moderator favored El-Sayed because he was the only one being heard. End of discussion.

Trump is barking at everyone he can find, including, the Supreme Court because they did the right thing and rejected Trump's attempt to override the USA Constitution and remove States Rights. Now, he is barking at the Fed. Nothing new there.

One thing Iran must consider in regard the extension of war throughout the Middle East; it plays into Netanyahu's playbook. He was alone and ridiculed before Trump decided the USA military is a mercenary force and attacked Iran without cause. Now, there is increased attacks with drones into places that tend to be exclusively Sunni Arabs. That means the countries of the Middle East are going to form alliances to stand against the disruption by the Crescent. That is not good. Iran will have to bring a war with more countries than Israel and the USA. It escalates this mess that Trump and Netanyahu created to a much larger confrontation. 

Controlling the oil exports is one thing, but, to attack civilians and major cities is another. Iran must take escalation by the Crescent seriously. 

In the USA the price of diesel fuel is rising chronically. It is now $6.79.9 US and rising. This impacts the economy in the way of transportation costs. I am wondering how long companies that rely on mail orders will continue to offer their customers free shipping. The oil supply problem Trump created is a huge issue and that alone will have an impact on my Free World issues.

The planet is heating up, too. So, this is coming at a time when the Free World has to make changes and solar is becoming an energy source of choice.

It is the law.

Put it back! (click here)

Trump’s name will not appear on the Kennedy Center ever.

It is the law.

It is the law.

It is the law. 

Is no one troubled by the FACT the Board of Trustees of the Kennedy Center is breaking the law by allowing defacement of the building?

The Kennedy Center is a public landmark as well as a memorial to a beloved President that was assassinated. We loved that family for their lives and we still love to hear from Caroline. Maria Shriver is a national treasure as well. There are just some things and some people in this world that matters for no other reason except they are endeared to our legacy as Americans.

The work at the Kennedy Center has spanned decades by welcoming new ideas and talent, but, mostly for the honor paid to great artists that have been a part of the landscape of this great democracy. 

There will be no defacement of the building. 

If Congress can't or won't appropriate monies for the buildings renovation and PRESERVATION then the wrong people are in Congress that won't carry out the work of the American people.

Ask not what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country.” (click here)

That is about humility, morality (God), and public service. The Kennedy Center reflects every bit of JFK's character. That experience is not an ego trip, it is knowing that decency and compassion are real.

On October 14, 1960, at 2 a.m., Senator John F. Kennedy (click here) spoke to a crowd of 10,000 cheering students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor during a presidential campaign speech. In his improvised speech, Kennedy asked:

"How many of you, who are going to be doctors, are willing to spend your days in Ghana? Technicians or engineers, how many of you are willing to work in the Foreign Service and spend your lives traveling around the world?"

His young audience responded to this speech with a petition signed by 1,000 students willing to serve abroad. Senator Kennedy's challenge to these students—to live and work in developing countries around the world; to dedicate themselves to the cause of peace and development—inspired the beginning of the Peace Corps.

Just two weeks later, in his November 2, 1960, speech at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, Kennedy proposed "a peace corps of talented men and women" who would dedicate themselves to the progress and peace of developing countries. Encouraged by more than 25,000 letters responding to his call, Kennedy took immediate action as president to make the campaign promise a reality....

The Late President John F. Kennedy was a man of vision, peace, and respect for human potential. He loved people and they loved him.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer (click here) in south India in the mid-1960s, Joel Shapiro taught villagers how to dig latrines, build smokeless ovens, and utilize night soil for more productive vegetable gardens, among other sustainability initiatives. More than 50 years later, his sculptures and works on paper are in the permanent collections of museums all over the world: New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art; down south at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas; out west at California’s Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and across the Atlantic at the Tate Gallery in London, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Kunstmuseum in Winterthur, Switzerland, the Stedelijk in Amsterdam, and the Museé National d’Art Moderne in Paris.

He has also done two large commissions through the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies. One, Conjunction, was installed in 1999 outside the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, Ontario; and another, Now, was installed in 2013 outside the newly built U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China. In fall 2019, his monolithic Blue was installed on the campus of Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The Late President is honored in a legacy that cannot be defaced. 

Islamophobia. Can Abdul overcome it?

This is exactly what is occurring with this midterm election.

Abdul El-Sayed is extremely qualified to be a USA Senator for the State of Michigan. Unfortunately the current Islamophobic ads spawned by Republicans were created to instill fear. They were made before the Democratic Primaries.

In the primaries Republicans crossed party lines and voted for a candidate whom they believed they could smear and win the election. The Republican candidate is white man. He is also PROVEN to be corrupt to the core. There is no way Michiganders should be voting for Mike Rogers and the RNC knows it. So does Trump. So, the Republicans set out to overwhelm Michiganders with lies and political smears about the Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He is absolutely a magnificent candidate and I am glad he won the primary. But, Democrats have to get out and walk the pavements of their neighborhoods and get him elected.

If Michiganders don't overwhelmingly elect his man they are only proving they believe the TV ads more than his resume. 

His resume:

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, public servant, and Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.

Don, Jr. is in bed with Putin.

This is the guy that is going to liberate Greenland. Baloney. Junior is probably hoping to take up residence next to Assad.

September 14, 2026
by Justin Elliott, Brett Murphy, Joshua Kaplan and Alex Mierjeski

On May 24, (click here) Donald Trump Jr. was celebrating in the Bahamas, as scantily clad dancers in stilettos and sailor caps performed for him and his guests. It was the last night of his wedding, a lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. A five-tier funfetti cake had been airlifted in from Florida, and helicopters and seaplanes descended on the islands before guests settled into their oceanfront villas. That night on the beach, Trump Jr. lifted his bride into the air while fireworks launched from a barge over the sea.

“It was everything we dreamed of and more,” his wife later wrote on Instagram.

That dream was heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin....

Kremlev is not his original name. He took the name to sound Russian. Kremlev has been groomed by the Kremlin.

It is all Russian money.

Umar Lutfulloyev is his Tajik original name.

It is all corruption. He is a Putin oligarch. He got that way because of the Kremlin. He was made president of the Russian boxing organization and from there went on to the International Boxing Association. The reason the IOC decertified the IBA is because Kremlev has Gasprom as sponsor. 

It is all an attempt to legitimize a Russian at an international level to corrupt the sport and give favor to Russian athletes. 

Not only that buy Kremlev controls the gambling establishment in Russia.

...The IOC decertified the IBA (click here) and took control of the boxing competition from the IBA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, just as it had done at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The IOC stated that the IBA had failed to address concerns regarding governance, finance, and corruption.

Since then, Kremlev has emerged as one of the key purveyors of Russian disinformation in international sports.. Kremlev has stirred controversy by claiming, falsely and without evidence, that the female boxer Imane Khelif failed her gender test after she defeated a Russian boxer, and has allegedly referred to IOC president Thomas Bach as a "chief sodomite"...

Boxing in Russia is widely popular. It covers the corruption within the country.

...At the same time, (click here) boxing has traditionally been associated with the underworld – many Russian mob leaders of the 80-90s came out of this sport. For example, boxing was practiced by Vladimir Kumarin, the leader of the St. Petersburg mafia, associated with Putin and his entourage. Before Murov, the Russian Boxing Federation (FBR) had already been headed by two men with criminal backgrounds – first, the Krasnoyarsk authority Anatoly Bykov, nicknamed “Tolya the Bull,” and Eduard Khusainov, nicknamed “Khusain,” who came from the Balashikha gang. These two worlds – Putin’s guards and bandits – were bound to cross paths sooner or later....

...In 2016, there was a “shift change” in Russian boxing – Murov and Ivanyuzhenkov handed over control of the federation to another pair of guard and hardcore criminal – Alexei Rubezhnoi and Umar Kremlev. Rubezhnoi became head of the supervisory board, the federation’s charter was amended to cancel the vote, and Rubezhnoi simply appointed Kremlev, who was little known in the boxing world at the time, as the new president....

...According to an acquaintance of Kremlev’s, Rubezhnoi at least once organized a private audience with Putin for his twice-convicted friend. Putin gave Kremlev a medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, 2nd degree. But the main reward Kremlev got was somethig else.

“Thanks to one person, today there are actually unlimited opportunities to both make money and strive. This person is, of course, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,“ Kremlev said in one of his recent interviews.

Putin has indeed given Kremlev and his guard Rubezhnoi almost unlimited opportunities to make money....

It is not private money. Most of the oligarchs in Russia started with state owned business. Kremlev is no different. The companies he claims his wealth from were nationalized and then transferred to him. In other words, Russia took ownership away from the original owner and then reassigned the company to a man Putin trusts, in this case Kremlev. And, why not? Kremlev is a boxing tycoon. Russia loves him.

...This was not the first generous gift Kremlev received from the state. Since 2014, in Russia, only the state, i.e. the Ministry of Sport or the Ministry of Finance, can act as a lottery organizer. However, ticket sales and winnings distribution are handled by private firms – lottery organizers who have billions of rubles of lottery money going through them. In 2019, the government appointed one of Kremlev’s companies

Kremlev as the operator of National Lottery. It was this lottery that soon became the new “strategic partner” of the boxing federation.

Proekt has established that Kremlev, through his proxies, has also become the beneficiary of three of Russia’s leading betting companies. The brands in question are Fonbet, Pari and Liga Stavok, which the Kremlev’s men took over in 2022-2023....

Juniors wedding was paid for by very, very corrupt Russian money. Why is this an issue? Because Trump's family has security clearance in the USA.

Trump has to know this statement is as loaded as it comes.

President Trump lashed out (click here) at calls for new AI guardrails and protections on Monday, arguing AI only needs a "STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT" and that AI critics should "BEWARE!"...

COMMENTS?

Poor Donald. He is absolutely unglued.

I worked in an agricultural research library in Princeton, New Jersey for an international company when Derwent Patent Research (click here) was state of the art on punch cards.

I was around when dot matrix printers and Apple 2e was state of the art. The science of computers have come a very long way. Now, the geniuses that have harnessed the knowledge of these marvels are warning the people about the EXPECTED danger of artificial intelligence.

I believe them.

Is it not better to be safe than sorry? Is it not prudent to take a time out to be sure rather than unleashing a computer capacity that can turn against the human beings that allowed it's creation?

In China today, computer technology is already state of the art. Chinese data centers run cooler and as a result have a greater capacity. There isn't anything the USA can do to outclass the Chinese until it becomes responsible for the adversity the USA data centers cause the American people. 

The Republicans started this a long time ago when any sort of computer technology was never to be regulated. They stated it is more important to grow the technology and let it have economic impact.

Well, I think when the very leaders of the industry have a conscience and are the ones benefitting from the freedom to explore frontiers, but, state it is time to assess where we are and where we are going, it is absolutely time to do that.

China (click here) is trying to solve its water-consuming, power-draining data center problems by moving them under the sea. Shanghai Hailanyun Technology (HiCloud), in collaboration with several government agencies, launched what it's calling the world's first wind-powered underwater data center in May 2026. It sits about 32 feet below the ocean's surface off the coast of Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area, surrounded by a wind farm of more than 50 turbines.
