The striking claim here isn’t just that AI is useful. It’s that it may be ‘industrial revolution’ scale. If that’s even half right, the issue isn’t one occupation. It’s how work gets reorganized across the economy.

To paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. Trump handed a no-bid $6.9 million contract to a company that worked on his own pools, using an exemption meant only to prevent “serious injury”. The corruption is off the charts. nytimes.com/2026/05/08/us/… nytimes.com/2026/05/08/us/…

"I've never seen anything like it before." Oil storage tanks in the United States will run empty "somewhere in the July 4 period," Carlyle's Jeff Currie tells @flacqua bloom.bg/4niuf4G

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both the House and the Senate last week that troops were deployed to voting places in 15 states under Joe Biden in 2024. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election ordered by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries told me that *zero troops* were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment. Fact check: cnn.com/2026/05/04/pol…

DOJ says it is taking on political violence with its new indictment of James Comey. Meanwhile, DOJ is also seeking to vacate the seditious conspiracy conviction of Stewart Rhodes, who said “We should have brought rifles…I'd hang fuckin' Pelosi from the lamppost."

Obama worship was real. His face was plastered on clothing. I hated it, as did many on the right. This stuff is *so* much worse. I find it viscerally disgusting. Worshiping a man like this—and forcing taxpayers to fund it—isn’t ~owning the libs.~ It’s a form of weakness.

This was part of the content that CBS edited out of Trump's recent interview with '60 Minutes': "Trump: You know I’m not a king, I get it, I don’t laugh, I don’t, I, I see these No Kings which are funded just like the southern law was funded. You all that southern laws, financing the KKK and lots of other radical, terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we’ve got to stop the KKK. And yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. They work. It’s a total scam run by the Democrats. It shows you that, like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the southern law. That was a southern law deal, too. And it was done to make me look bad. And it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was, a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election. And that’s what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your ‘60 Minute’ episodes, which really hasn’t changed very much for the last few years, I’m surprised."

When can we expect the indictment?

trump gets a $400 million ballroom, a $400 million jet, he's suing the IRS for $10 billion and he's golfing every weekend. You get unaffordable groceries, high gas prices, high electricity bills and one piece of chicken.

“Oh do you think he was referring to you” BRILLIANT

Why Putin loves Trump. But most Americans do not agree with Trump on this issue.

If taxpayers fund payments that don’t change behavior, that’s not really a subsidy with a purpose. It’s just a transfer. Who gains? Big retailers. Who pays? You do.

Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.

Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded.

Inflation was coming down in the United States—and then Trump’s tariffs happened.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the Strait will "open up automatically" because Iran needs the revenue, but adds "we will open it anyway" and "we will have it open soon." "Don't forget, we don't use the strait. Other countries use the strait." He's said this multiple times now and it keeps raising the same uncomfortable question: if the U.S. doesn't use the Strait, why did 13 Americans die and $35 billion get spent keeping it open?

Every pastor who supports this president should have to read this from the pulpit to their congregation. This is the man Paula White compared to Jesus and said he’s the greatest champion of the Christian faith we’ve ever had in the White House. So read his words aloud.
