If Trump picks Senator Tim Scott for his VP he will run away with this election

 


That's not to say that AI can't be tricked into showing you a white guy, you just have to know how to do it

Miller needs to up his game.

 



The irony of this is clearly lost on AI

No painting by Norman Rockwell in his long career deserves first mention by AI more than the one he did when he was 70-years old

 


The government of the United States provides lots of data about black people, hispanic people, asian people, and non-hispanic white people, but AI thinks showing one of these would be harmful

 Gemini is anti-white.

Back when illegal immigration was a club for Paul Krugman to use against George W. Bush he made arguments he's now trying to hide

Many of the worst-off native-born Americans are hurt by immigration, especially from Mexico. Because Mexican immigrants increase the supply of less-skilled labor, driving down the wages of the worst-paid Americans. ...

It’s intellectually dishonest to say, as Bush does, that immigrants do ‘jobs that Americans will not do.’ The willingness to do a job depends on how much that job pays, and the reason some jobs pay too little to attract Americans is competition from poorly paid immigrants.

AI doesn't care what the word "and" means

Google Gemini shows me the infamous image with Yezhov removed instead of the original image with Yezhov standing to the right of Stalin as you look at the image.

Yezhov was the mastermind behind the purges, and was himself subsequently purged, including from photographs.




Joe Biden explicitly buying votes

 


In famous 2003 eulogy Senator Joe Biden, having no trouble delivering oratory, said Reagan was 85 when he and Strom Thurmond met with the then 71-year old president

"The president [Reagan] then was about 85 years old".

"And I swear to the Lord in the Lord’s house this is a true story. ...  And the President -- true story -- President looked very sternly at Strom ..."

Ronald Reagan turned 85 in 1996 during the presidency of Bill Clinton. Biden in 2003 was off by nearly fifteen years.

The Thurmond-strong-arming-the-president anecdote, if it actually happened at all, must date to late 1982 because Reagan vetoed the Biden-Thurmond crime bill on January 15, 1983, which was what the meeting Biden recounts was about.

At about the 7 minute mark (the crowd is already skeptical of the previous anecdote's truthfulness at the 3:30 mark):

Trend for lowest minimum temperature in Grand Rapids, MI 1896-2024

The trend is colder by almost 2 degrees F for lowest minimum temperature over 129 years at KGRR. 

This chart shows, like the charts for heating degree days or average temperature discussed earlier, the boat anchor for temperature which is 1943-1997. The anchor is heavy enough to keep the mean minimum since 1963 lower than before it, at -9F vs. -6F, despite all the recent warming.

Mean lowest minimum temperature:

1896-1943: -5F (48yrs)

1943-1997: -10F (55yrs)

1997-2024 to date: -5F (28yrs).

Bloomberg: Covid vaccine study of 99 million vaccinated people in 8 countries proves there were vaccine injuries

 I use ... and [  ] to weed out and address some of the propaganda still displayed in this slanted and quite abbreviated story, here, which still tries to minimize the danger inherent in these vaccines:


 Vaccines ... against ... a coronavirus infection were linked to small increases in neurological, blood, and heart-related conditions in the largest global vaccine safety study to date.

The rare events — identified early in the pandemic [but systematically minimized, questioned, vilified, and censored] — included a higher risk of heart-related inflammation from mRNA shots made by Pfizer Inc., BioNTech SE, and Moderna Inc., and an increased risk of a type of blood clot in the brain after immunization with viral-vector vaccines such as the one developed by the University of Oxford and made by AstraZeneca Plc. ...

The new research, by the Global Vaccine Data Network, was published in the journal Vaccine last week, with the data made available via interactive dashboards to show methodology and specific findings. ...

Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, was consistently identified following a first, second and third dose of mRNA vaccines, the study found. The highest increase in the observed-to-expected ratio was seen after a second jab with the Moderna shot. A first and fourth dose of the same vaccine was also tied to an increase in pericarditis, or inflammation of the thin sac covering the heart. 

The study vindicates the many European countries which stopped recommending the shots for young men under the age of 40, but the story doesn't mention this.

The story laughably claims 1 million lives in Europe alone were saved compared with 13.5 billion doses administered worldwide, which is an improper comparison on its face. 

Over 3 million people in Michigan alone never got one single jab and OMG they are still alive.


 

This story by Tim Stanley is both lazy and stupid, which is quite an achievement

Inside the plot to replace elderly Joe Biden

The story offers no evidence whatsoever of any such plot. It's ridiculous on its face.

And it is laughably mistaken about involuntary removal of the president:

The DNC is hierarchical, disciplined and packed with Biden supporters; there’s no mechanism in place to move against the president if he doesn’t want to go.

Of course there's a mechanism if he doesn't want to go. It's just that it has nothing to do with the DNC. It's called the 25th Amendment:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

But Stanley's evidently never heard of it. He spends zero time, zip, zilch, nada, telling us anything about Biden's cabinet secretaries' possible support for removing Biden on grounds of senility. Stanley doesn't even speculate about why Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed Robert Hur to get away with showcasing the president's incompetence to stand trial in the first place.

Is Garland actually the ring leader of a cabinet plot to remove Biden? We know Biden has been unhappy with Garland for now many months. Maybe Hur's report was the trial balloon, hoping to sniff out support in the rest of the cabinet.

But we'll never know because Tim Stanley was too lazy to do the leg work as a reporter to find that out.
