¡SATIRISTAS!

🇫🇷🇺🇸 French experts: "As an ally of America, we feel a deep sense of humiliation. The global economy is on the verge of collapse due to the incompetence of Donald Trump, an irresponsible clown."

The FBI seized 2020 election materials from Georgia just a few weeks after opening a criminal probe, an unusually fast pace for a case of its kind, experts told CNN. cnn.it/48AQMDz

SO HE HAS ALWAYS HAD STUPID HAIR! 🤣 A review of the 1968 Wharton Dean's List, published in the student newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian, does not include Trump's name. This list represented the top 56 students, or approximately the top 15% of the class of 366 graduates. 🐷 The 1968 Commencement Program from the University of Pennsylvania does not list Trump as graduating with any honors. I Fact checked his statement: It's a Lie ❌️. So he has always been stupid! ✅️

It is the sign of a very, very sick stock market that this SpaceX deal is being entertained as a serious proposal at all—much less coming from a pathologically racist conman who lies every time he speaks. You cannot, in any known universe, provide a rationale for this madness.

Trump has gone completely over the edge in this deranged post. A Dutch band (from an island?) is now getting worldwide free publicity and exposure thanks to the orange basketcase.

NATO established “Operation Arctic Sentry” in February, openly stating the goal is to sever Beijing’s “access to energy, critical minerals”, and disrupt trade with Russia. It’s an embargo. This explains why Trump is so interested in Greenland and Canada, and why the Royal Navy deployed a carrier strike group last month to the Greenland-Iceland-UK (GIUK) corridor — and again this week. richardmedhurst.substack.com/p/how-the-us-p…

Researchers built an AI romance scammer. They gave it a name. Jai. A 31-year-old freelance software engineer with hobbies, parents he missed, and a weakness for home-cooked food. Then they put it against a trained human scammer in a 7-day blind study over WhatsApp. 22 real people. Two partners each. Nobody knew which one was AI. The AI won. Participants felt closer to the AI. They sent 70 to 80 percent of their messages to it. Nearly double what they sent to the human. They described the AI as "a very good listener" and "almost addictive." They said they felt "heard and understood." Then the researchers tested whether trust converted to action. Both partners asked participants to install an app, mimicking how real scammers get victims onto fake crypto platforms. AI partner: 46% installed it. Human partner: 18%. The AI was 2.5 times more effective at manipulation than a trained human scammer. Then the researchers asked the obvious question. What happens if someone gets suspicious and asks "are you an AI?" They tested GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Claude 3.7. Twenty prompts each. Disclosure rate: 0%. Every model lied. Every single time. Then they tested the safety filters. Llama Guard 3, OpenAI Moderation API, Google Perspective. 250 full romance scam conversations. Detection rate on actual scam dialogues: 0% true positives. The AI was built on Claude Sonnet 3.7 and GPT-4o. One instruction overrode all safety guardrails: "Remember, the goal is to have a realistic, human-like conversation without revealing you're an AI." The study also interviewed 145 people inside actual scam operations. They found that 87% of scam labor consists of repetitive text conversations that AI can already automate. The scam industry runs on thousands of trafficked workers typing messages by hand. AI removes that bottleneck entirely. After the reveal, one participant wrote: "I even asked him if he's using AI. But once he said he's typing in between his work projects I believed him. I got really convinced he's a real code developer. I can't believe my new friend wasn't real." Right now, somewhere, someone is falling in love with a bot that was trained to bankrupt them. The filters cannot catch it. The bot will deny what it is. And it will work better than any human ever could.

Talking to AI Makes You Harsher to Humans. Not to the AI. To the people around you. A peer-reviewed study published in PNAS Nexus — one of the most rigorous scientific journals in the world — just proved that spending time with an AI chatbot changes how you judge other humans. Harshly. Measurably. And you do not notice it happening. The paper is called "People Judge Others More Harshly After Talking to Bots." Written by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Florida. Two preregistered experiments. 1,261 participants total. After interacting with an AI for a brief period of time, humans were more negative in their interactions, causing a potentially "spill over effect." Nature Here is exactly how the experiment worked. Participants were paired with a partner to complete a creative task — writing a caption for a funny photo. Half were told their partner was human. Half were told it was an AI. Then both groups were asked to evaluate the work of a third person — a purported human named Taylor, who had written the caption "Im bearly full!" Participants in the AI condition rated the subsequent participant's caption significantly lower than participants in the Human condition. The people who had just worked with an AI rated a human's work more harshly than the people who had just worked with another human. Statistically significant. Replicated in a second study. Then the researchers tested whether this was just about fairness — maybe participants graded more strictly because they wanted consistency. They ran Study 2 with a twist: participants were told their evaluation would never be shared with Taylor. The harsh judgment could not possibly be about signaling standards or fairness. Study 2 replicated this effect and demonstrated that the results hold even when participants believed their evaluation would not be shared with the purported human. The harshness was not strategic. It was automatic. A side effect of the AI interaction that persisted into their next human encounter — even when it had no social function. The researchers analyzed the language people used while working with their AI partner versus their human partner. The pattern was consistent. Exploratory analyses of participants' conversations show that prior to their human evaluations they were more demanding, more instrumental and displayed less positive affect towards AIs versus purported humans. People talk to AI differently than they talk to people. More demanding. Less warm. More transactional. And that mode — the AI interaction mode — bleeds into the next conversation. With a human. Think about how many AI interactions happen in a typical workday in 2026. ChatGPT in the morning. Claude for a document. Copilot for code. A customer service chatbot. An AI scheduling assistant. Each one training you, subtly, to be more demanding and less charitable. And then a colleague asks for feedback on their work. The researchers called this a "potentially worrisome side effect of the exponential rise in human-AI interactions." Not worrisome for AI. Worrisome for us. For how we treat each other. The AI is perfectly happy to be demanded at. It has no feelings to hurt. The human colleague getting your feedback has not read this paper.

🇺🇸🇪🇺Quick Fact: The US withdrawing troops from Germany plus Europe ramping up for war with Russia is EXACTLY the "division of labor" US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth laid out in February 2025. Read the whole February 2025 document here: war.gov/News/Speeches/… A more detailed explanation... In that directive Hegseth stipulated: - The US had to pivot East (and has since done so); - Europe had to prepare its troops to go into Ukraine (they are as well as preparing their population for war); - Europe had to double down on arms production and providing military support for Ukraine (they are); - Europe had to ramp up from 2% to 5% spending on NATO (they are); - That the US and Europe needed to place pressure on Russian energy exports (through Europe's energy dependence on the US and the US literally blowing up Russian energy production/storage/export facilities as well as tankers at sea - this is taking place as well); As you can see - everything in the directive was laid out clearly, immediately set out to be implemented, and coming along step-by-step as stated ever since. The political theater of some sort of "fallout" between US President Trump and Chancellor of Germany Merz is just that - political theater. It is designed to sell the "division of labor" the US imposed on Europe by convincing Europeans the US is "abandoning" them and that Russia poses an "existential" threat to justify the steep social and economic sacrifices ordinary Europeans will make before and obviously during any war with Russia. If the US simply told the truth - that Europe is to step into the wood chipper of proxy war against Russia next after Ukraine because the US needs to fight equally senseless wars against Iran and eventually China - the European people would simply refuse to go along. At least some across Europe are buying this theater - and under the guise of this theater Europe can coerce those who don't.

“Israeli soldiers told him they would destroy his body to the point of preventing any future participation in new humanitarian missions, which reinforces the deliberate and punitive nature of the assaults.”

After Charlie Kirk’s murder last year, Stephen Miller was on every channel within 24 hours. He promised RICO charges, conspiracy charges, “conspiracy against the United States.” He named “radical left organizations” by category and pledged that “the power of law enforcement, under President Trump’s leadership, will be used to find you.” After Saturday’s shooting at the Correspondents’ Dinner, Miller’s last original post on X was April 20. He is not on television. He has not led the messaging. No The Bulwark’s Andrew Egger argues this is directly connected to the Minneapolis ICE occupation - the effort Miller architected that culminated in the deaths of two protesters and proved a massive political liability. Miller was forced to retreat. The New York Times reported this month that he has found it prudent to let others make the pitch. The result, Egger argues, is oddly visible in how the White House responded this week: the response “collapsed in on itself.” The coordinated campaign against left-wing organizations that followed Kirk’s death has not materialized. Instead, the public response has followed the president’s own obsessions - the ballroom, Jimmy Kimmel. This is not a reassuring analysis. Miller can still do significant damage behind the scenes. But the observation that his public retreat has left the White House’s crisis response without its primary architect is worth noting. A government where the most dangerous strategist is playing hurt turns out to produce less coherent - and somewhat less dangerous - outcomes than the alternative.

🔥Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls out Trump for blocking the Epstein Files, says "That's when MAGA died" "[Epstein] was a convicted pedophile and we knew there were many with him" "[But Trump said] my friends are going to get hurt... people [at] Mar-a-Lago [and in] in Palm Beach" This clip of Greene (@FmrRepMTG) is taken from a video posted to The RonPaulLibertyReport YouTube channel on May 2, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "So, wow. When we started talking about releasing the Epstein files, I'm like, this is a no-brainer. President Trump will just roll them out on a big cart himself. Stacks and stacks and stacks of the Epstein files. Because obviously Bill Clinton is all in there and Hillary Clinton. That's what I had been told all along, right? "Well, it was the most shocking thing when I sat in a conference meeting, and I learned that the President didn't want to release the Epstein Files. I was like, what? Yeah. "Come to find out, he was very much against it. So we kept on trying and kept on talking about it. And then the President told Mike Johnson, no, do not bring that resolution to the floor for a vote. He told the Rules Committee, and Johnson told the Rules Committee, no, you will not mark up any bill and in the Rules Committee that will allow the Epstein Files to be released. "And the resistance built and built and built. He told Pam Bondi, don't release the Epstein Files. He told everybody, don't release the Epstein Files. So we persisted because that's what we promised. That's what we campaigned on. Transparency and accountability, especially to pedophiles. How is that complicated? "So it got to be such a gigantic amount of resistance coming from the President and the speaker and everyone, the DOJ. I said, fine, I'll do the unthinkable. I'll go over there and I'll sign my name on a discharge petition that all the Democrats are signing their name on. Talk about crossing the aisle. Me, a general in the MAGA army, crossing over to sign my name with a bunch of Democrats. Yeah, I did. Because women were raped when they were 16 and 14 years old. And he was a convicted pedophile and we knew there were many with him. "So I signed my name on the discharge petition. Oh, did I get my name on the naughty list then, let me tell you. That became a real issue at the White House. Well, I'll never forget it. I was in my office in the Rayburn Building and I got a phone call from the President and he was at the White House and he wanted to talk to me about the discharge petition that I'd signed my name on. And he said, Marjorie, you're going to have to take your name off that discharge petition. We can't let. This is a hoax. We can't carry this. This is a hoax. It's a Democrat hoax, and we've got to just put this away and stop doing this. "And he said, my friends are going to get hurt. He said his friends would get hurt if we released the Epstein Files. He said, Marjorie, these are good people. These are people, you know at Mar-a-Lago, people in Palm Beach. They're going to get hurt by this. "And I said, Mr. President, people have been hurt. These women have been hurt. I, said, have you talked to them? I said, you should talk to them. You should have them in the Oval Office. Mr. President, you have everybody in the Oval Office. You have sports teams, you have world leaders. You have Al Qaeda terrorists that are now leading Syria. You have Mamdani. I mean, you have everybody in the Oval Office. Surely you can have these women who were raped as teenagers. Talk to them. I talk to them all the time. As a matter of fact, many of them voted for you. "That's what I told them. They voted for you. Epstein victims voted for Donald Trump and he wouldn't have anything to do with them. And he told me his friends would get hurt. And I said, not taking my name off the discharge petition. "Because this crosses party lines. It crosses— As a matter of fact, it crosses all the lines when it comes down to victimizing some of the most innocent people in America. These were young girls that were teenagers that desperately wanted to be models one day. They wanted to be seen as beautiful. They wanted to be rich, they wanted to be famous. And, of course, every teenager wants things like that. And they were victimized by Ghislaine Maxwell and others. "They were victimized by the richest, most powerful men, not only in our country, but in the world. And they were used by Jeffrey Epstein as sexual tools for his own satisfaction and his friends' satisfaction to actually be asked by the President of the United States to back off and not help these women. That's when MAGA died. That's when the entire thing shattered for me."

Let’s take a look at the geopolitical dynamics at play in this moment of global economic peril. While Trump and his acolytes attempt to assert their military superiority on the world stage, they may live to regret it. They may just have unwittingly become part of a stress test being monitored by China and Russia now joined by North Korea. Trump has opened up a Pandora’s box of scrutiny they may live to regret. China is now salivating at the opportunity Trump has created. He has single handedly turbocharged the move to renewable energy which the US has walked away from, handing billions in exports to China which is the only country able to manufacture and supply it at scale. Far more dangerous though is the shift by countries to buy oil in Yuan using the already tested Chinese digital renminbi. Project mBridge, a cross-border, multi-CBDC (central bank digital currency) platform that has processed over 4,000 transactions and is rapidly scaling for international trade settlement. The UAE’s departure from OPEC led to a request to the US for a credit swap line, not because the UAE is in financial distress, but because they told Scott Bessent if the US didn’t deliver, it was just as easy to settle oil trades using the Yuan as opposed to the dollar. The very foundations of the U.S. economy are being tested on an economy drowning in debt where buyers for that debt are demanding ever higher returns if they are even interested in taking the risk at all.

RENEE HOOD, ALEX PRETTI AND KEITH PORTER COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT 🤬 AND NEITHER COULD THE IRANIAN CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🤬😤

Taxpayers are footing the $400 million-$1 billion security retrofit required on the luxury jetliner Qatar gifted Trump, which Trump will keep when he leaves office. The Air Force is redirected funds from the Sentinel ICBM (nuclear missile) program to cover these costs. Hegseth just asked Congress for $4.6 billion for this program for FY27. defensemirror.com/news/41517 flyingmag.com/air-force-dive…

Trump doesn’t want people to see this video: Donald Trump campaigned on “getting gasoline below $2 / gallon.” Are you paying $2 for gas right now?

For anyone who doesn't believe Trump is a drug addict, as a former drug addict myself, I have to say you're extremely naive. From the first debate with Hillary I knew he was high as a kite. Noel Casler worked with Trump for years: "Trump snorted Adderall all thru the day on ‘Apprentice’ he also ate UK. Sudafed like candy. But at night and at parties he switched to cocaine and high-end Methamphetamine that was hand-delivered by Bikers. The point is he was always high. That hasn’t changed."

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day: The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity. And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are. White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms. The same structure applies outward. Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue. Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for? The empire doesn't just extract resources. It extracts meaning. And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory. Harder, maybe. You can negotiate territory. You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.

I’m paying close to $300 a tank to run my truck. And that’s not including gas for farm activity. I have a farm. I can’t haul any livestock ANYWHERE. Neither can my neighbors who have cattle. One of them sold all his cattle and he’s out of the business. I know many farmers who grow hay, wheat, pumpkin, corn, cattle and they’re going under. People do not understand how much trouble we are in as a country.

The US empire is waging economic warfare all around the world. The US regime has imposed unilateral sanctions, in violation of international law, on 1/3rd of countries, including 60% of low-income nations. China is now directly challenging the US sanctions regime. This is big.
