Evergreen advice for all journalists:
“If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the window and find out which is true.”

Andrew Carnegie was once the richest man in America.
He was no saint, but he spent the last third of his life building schools and libraries and concert halls and hospitals with his money.

Are folks here following the Grok Scandal? Apparently there’s significant evidence that Grok was compromised at some point in the last 48 hours by a code intrusion that instructed it to avoid disparaging Musk or Trump.
And the entity supposedly pointing a finger at Musk for all this...
...is Grok.

Germany: still not unified. 🇩🇪
This election map from the FAZ shows that the AfD in light blue dominates the former East Germany.

Dear media: please report the news like this: “Trump lied and said Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating” NOT “Trump says Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating” and then 6 lines later: “a claim that appears to be without merit.”
See the difference? One spreads misinformation and the other is YOUR JOB.

Americans and Canadians are very different. While Americans are asking “what would Canada as a 51st state look like?” Canadians are asking “What would a decade -long bloody insurgency look like?”

I’ve paid hundreds of dollars to SUBSIDIZE Scarlett Johansen. Why? There is no reason. She doesn’t have anything I need. I have an iPhone, I should make my own movies. Without me paying to watch The Avengers, she ceases to exist as an actor. Therefore, she should become my cherished wife. 🤡🤡🤡

Fact: U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border in 2024. That’s medium-sized airport bag.

I want y’all to remember when we’re paying more for everything in the US and Canada that Trump — and only Trump — did this.
Not DEI. Not Trudeau. Not the “radical left” or the reverse vampires or any other bogeyman they inevitably trot out. Trump. He’s the one who is wrecking your way of life.

The irony of all the loons blathering about the “great reset” not seeing an ACTUAL “great reset” happening in the US right now is staggering.

Billionaires want to keep us divided so we don’t notice them gaming the system and heading for the hills with our money and our public property. Folks on the right and left agree on this. So, to quote Sinéad O’Connor - maybe it’s time to fight the real enemy. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
