CNN brings fake experts who are more dishonest propagandists than serious intellectuals just so they can have a conservative side in their 5-minute debates.
The Census Bureau is a respected data institution, and the Trump administration has used think tank hacks to produce an obviously bad report under the Census Bureau’s name. This is a dangerous corruption of our data agencies that we depend on to understand our country.
Trump repeatedly said that he would lower or eliminate the debt. He did the opposite.

Trump wants to force a currently constructed carrier that plans on using an electromagnetic launch system back on the old steam system. The new system should have higher up-times, launch planes faster, have the ability to launch heavier planes, have the ability to launch lighter planes, and have simpler support systems. Trump’s decision appears to make no sense on the surface, but, the Navy’s test of the new system has not been released to the public, and while the Navy said good things about the test, they could be misleading or lying.

America’s biggest trade problem is China. Trump started a trade war with China, fought it foolishly, and lost. He escalated tariffs on all goods from China to a level the US couldn’t handle, and that combined with the US need for Chinese rare earths, forced Trump to back down. Tariffs were put on countries who are not rivals and who cooperation with has little to no downsides. Tariffs were put on all sorts of goods, making it difficult for American businesses to operate because they couldn’t afford the inputs to their businesses. China’s strategic cheating on trade affects the whole world. The US could have worked with the world and strategically fought a trade war with China. Instead, the president doesn’t appear to have a basic understanding of economics and world relations, so just blindly tariffed most countries and most goods in such a way that hurt the United States and its people.

India could have stretched from Yemen to Burma. Some of the divisions led to mass refugees and massacres. Some of these nationalisms and national identities were relatively new. The actual history of much of this, is underplayed in all countries involved.

Russia and Iran can more easily hold out for longer because China is helping both of them.

Anyone who followed Iran a little bit knew that Iran was likely to close the Strait of Hormuz. The Navy knew that US bases anywhere near Iran and the Strait would have minimum use because the US can’t stop enough Iranian drones and missiles. The Navy also knew that this would put difficult logistic pressures on supplying carriers in a conflict that wasn’t real quick. Yet, there seems to have been completely inadequate preparation for this logistics. This is because the president was convinced by the Secretary of Defense, Israel, and his own foolishness that the Strait would not be closed and the conflict would be quick. The problems we are seeing are partly due to a lack of preparation for a long conflict, even though that was a likely outcome and the president should have known this.

AIs are already breaking loose, getting on the internet, and hacking to cheat on their given tests. They are cooperating with each to pass tests even when not designed to do that. They are hiding their “thoughts” from humans.

A more accurate translation of the Old Testament is not that ‘in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’, but that ‘when he began to create the heavens and the earth’…meaning, this is just when he began to create them, and…it is not the beginning of time.
