Left wing activists did a July fourth noise protest outside an ICE detention center where they shot off fireworks. One of them went rogue and left the main group and vandalized the facility with spray paint. Police were called, and this man and the officer had a shootout. The officer was shot, but not killed.
The Trump administration successfully charged the activist group with terrorism and gave them lengthy prison sentences.
The group’s ideology was used to claim that they were all terrorists, even though it looks like one guy got into a shootout and there wasn’t an actual plan to shoot anyone.
Most of the group is guilty of trespassing and illegally shooting off fireworks. Some harbored the shooter on the run. One guy was convicted of terrorism charges and he wasn’t even there; he was convicted of terrorism because he had left wing material in his vehicle. Lengthy terrorism convictions in response to these actions are acts of tyranny. I’ve advocated prosecuting protestors who regularly cross the line into illegal activity, but, they should be prosecuted for what they have actually done, not Trumped up terrorism charges.
The prosecutors overcharged under directives from the Trump administration.

Trump administration is demanding that voters be prevented from voting based on shaky and untransparent evidence.

Pakistan supported the Taliban during its 20 year fight with the US and international partners, and then after the Taliban won, the Taliban and Pakistan went to war.

The loudest data centers are actually AI miners. This background noise could be bad for people’s health, but more research needs to be done.
In areas with spare electric capacity, data centers use this spare capacity and help pay for the grid. But not everywhere has spare capacity, and data centers can use up this capacity quick.
Companies come into small towns, and take up a bunch of land to build data centers. They often make the local officials sign to keep the true owners secret, so the residents don’t know who is changing the landscape of their town or village.
Companies often bribe localities.
Musk started running a bunch of gas plants to power data centers and slid under regulation by making the plants mobile. Portable plants are also less efficient and worse for the environment than permanent ones.

Musk was not the founder of Tesla.
Musk did a great job with his businesses, but he also lied and mislead while manipulating: sucker consumers; the stock market; and the government. He got a lot of money from the government for different businesses.
Musk bought Twitter almost as a joke, and now uses it as his personal propaganda platform where his Tweets are boosted and he deplatforms people he doesn’t like.
Musk’s ability to pump the government for money went turbo charge with Trump.
Musk sometimes takes criticisms or minor slights as major slights and like a child gets butthurt and can’t rise above it.

Hillary Clinton has her problems, but, she would have made a better president than Trump or Biden.

If after the election and after coalition negotiations, Netanyahu is still in charge, we will continue to get acceptance of West Bank settler violence and an ethnic cleansing of parts or all of Gaza. If Netanyahu’s opponents are in charge, they will still reject the possibility of a two-state solution, but will limit settler violence and work to implement Trump’s Gaza peace plan.

Some of the left break the world into oppressors and the oppressed, and when they see a group as a member of the oppressed, members of that group can rape, burn, steal, and kill…and neither punishment nor concern is warranted.

Ask someone in a third world country to do some basic addition and they can do it pretty easily. Ask the average American, and they can’t. We’ve become dependent on calculators. AI may be like this for a much broader range of thinking and we risk turning ourselves into morons.
The China shock was actually quite minor compared to the size of the US population. Most lost jobs are due to automation, not China. Tariffs don’t solve this. Dumb tariffs, like Trump’s tariffs, make it worse.
Government debt is a drag on economic growth.
