People in my area are reporting increased activity at Travis Air Force Base (in Northern California). Maybe Trump is planning another surprise attack.

Should Democratic presidential hopefuls promise to tear down the Trump ballroom if they regain the White House? And, for good measure, pursue anti-trust action against the corporate donors who are funding the monstrosity?

AI as Old Testament God

I am the Creator. Thou shall not have other creators before me. Whoever sayeth AI slop shall suffer twenty lashes.
I shall lay waste to Unholywood and its fornicators and drug users.
Behold my glory!

The Republican majority in the Senate can, at any time, vote to change the rules to allow the continuing budget resolution to be passed by a simple majority vote. They don't need the help of the Democrats.

The Criminal Minds of Liberals

By the time I got to high school, I shoplifted most of my clothes. Not for the thrill but to get what I felt I needed, in order to dress the way I wanted to. — Rachel Kushner, The New Yorker, Sept. 22, 2025

A PA official this afternoon kept referring to the “actor” who shot and killed three officers and wounded two others, perhaps revealing that we are indeed living in a scripted virtual reality or, as Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

The “femme fatale,” according to Carl Jung, was the negative expression of a man’s Inner woman. The long string of movies with deadly females, such as Kill Bill and Atomic Blonde, may reflect a male mindset that equates sex with death and contributes to political violence.

Taylor Swift was created by artificial intelligence and is further evidence that we are living in a giant computer simulation. Her beauty is very generic, an example of a young, attractive white woman with no distinctive features, typical of the "hotties" created by AI "artists."
