I've seen this done a lot of times, but it was also done for Joe, Obama and others, just not the way it's been done for T. Guess there are some peeps who like the taste of boot polish :dontknow:

 
King called for it, too.

That's been erased from history books. MOST of what King said is erased - he's not a hero, he's an avatar. And an excuse for a paid Fuddrel day off - important because that's where a massive percentage of King's unemployable fellow-tribesmen, pretend to work.

The Automated Doom Loop: One Man’s Legal War​


May 27, 2026 My Best Is Yet to Come
Ever found yourself pacing your living room, aggressively shouting "REPRESENTATIVE!" into your phone, only for a cheerful robot to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that?" You aren’t alone, and it’s not just a minor annoyance—it’s an "infinite loop architecture" by design. In this deep dive, we unpack a groundbreaking legal battle launched by Florida citizen Kerry Lutz, who has filed emergency petitions with both the FCC and the Florida Public Service Commission to demand a Live Agent Access Requirement. In this episode, we expose how corporations financially profit as "deflected calls" when frustrated customers hang up, and we detail Lutz's proposed regulatory "fire escape"—a rule forcing telecom and utility monopolies to provide a human option within 60 seconds without mandatory automated screening. We also dive into the dystopian reality of the "hidden biometric toll," explaining how modern AI menus secretly harvest voice prints and analyze your stress levels, exploiting a massive regulatory gap left by laws stuck in the "press 1 for billing" era. Finally, we tackle the ultimate philosophical question: if AI eventually becomes flawless and perfectly mimics human empathy, will we even care about talking to a real person anymore?
If you've ever been held hostage by an automated phone tree, this episode is the validation—and the legal breakdown—you've been waiting for.

When Our Word Is No Longer Good

Nihilism is the belief that there is no truth. Only the convenient lies and deceptions to force one’s will. Governmental nihilism leads to bankruptcies both financial and moral.

Trump has 'psychosis', experts claim​

Something unusual is happening in American public life right now, and it goes beyond the ordinary noise of partisan politics. Sitting presidents are routinely scrutinised, criticized, and caricatured. That is nothing new. What is new is the specific and escalating nature of what credentialed medical professionals are now saying out loud, on the record, about the mental state of Donald Trump – and the fact that some of them have taken their concerns directly to the United States Congress.

The word “psychosis” is not a casual accusation. In clinical medicine, it carries weight, precision, and consequence. For a credentialed psychologist to apply it to a sitting president, publicly and repeatedly, is a significant event. Whether that psychologist is right is a separate question. But understanding what he is claiming, why he is claiming it, and what the broader medical and political record actually shows is a question that deserves a clear-eyed examination – not a partisan one.

First thing: NATO ready to defend ‘every inch’ of territory as Russian drone hits Romania​

Good morning.

The Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, has said the alliance is “ready to defend every inch” of its territory after a Russian drone hit an apartment building in Romania, a member state, during an overnight attack on neighbouring Ukraine.

The incident in Galați, which injured two people, prompted swift condemnation and the threat of repercussions.

Inside Putin’s $26 billion quest for longevity​

When Vladimir Putin was captured by a hot mic telling Xi Jinping that humans could achieve immortality by replacing their organs, some dismissed the exchange as eccentric small talk between aging autocrats.

In fact, during the conversation at a Beijing military parade last September, Putin appeared to be describing a Kremlin-backed longevity initiative that has become one of Russia’s flagship scientific projects.

Like Silicon Valley billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, Putin has long been fascinated with antiaging research. But in Russia, Putin’s quest to stave off decline is now a state priority relying on methods as wide-ranging as organ printing, harvesting mini-pigs and exposure to ultralow temperatures.

Remember how medical people who suggested Pedo Joe had dementia, were castigated as quacks, violating professional ethics that forbid diagnoses without in-person examination of the patient?

The moron Pro-Marxism mediuh liars sure forget that stuff, quick.

Doug Casey's Take

Trump's $250 Billion Dollar Bill, CIA Gold Hoard & More​

May 29, 2026 Doug Casey's Take
Matt and Doug take subscriber questions for Crisis Investing while reacting to current events: a reported new $250 bill featuring Trump (and claims about a “gold note”), Trump imagery in passports, and the impact on Americans abroad. They discuss a raid on a CIA supervisor found with 303 kilos of gold, $20 million in cash, and luxury watches, raising concerns about CIA controls and corruption. The conversation turns to the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz, arguing U.S. actions have repeatedly tightened shipping despite talk of wanting the strait open, with tolling, sanctions, and 1,500–1,700 ships reportedly stuck. They answer questions on inflation, Polymarket vs investing, how oil pricing works, what could invalidate their worldview, AI/robotics investing (favoring China/robots), OPEC weakening, skepticism on SpaceX/OpenAI/Anthropic IPOs, oil stocks and dividends, and preferred older vehicles to avoid surveillance tech.

Trump said to tell Netanyahu ‘you’re f**king crazy’ while demanding Lebanon truce: ‘I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel’​

US President Donald Trump reportedly lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call earlier today, calling him “fucking crazy” as he demanded that Israel agree to a ceasefire with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and claimed the premier owes him for keeping him out of jail.

Axios cites a US official summarizing Trump’s message to Netanyahu as follows: “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”

Trump announces fresh Lebanon truce as Netanyahu appears to call off Beirut strikes​


US President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that Washington brokered a fresh truce between Israel and Hezbollah after the one reached in April unravelled in recent days, though the Iran-backed terror group continued to target northern communities into early Tuesday morning and Lebanese media reported fresh IDF strikes.

Following Trump’s announcement, an Israeli source said Jerusalem agreed to postpone planned strikes on Beirut, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said they instructed the military to strike Hezbollah targets in the capital.

Consumption for the gullible.

To feed the image of Trump the Superhero, playing 58-D Chess.

I ain't buying it. He may have called Benny some nice names, since this war didn't go the way he, Benny, promised; but at this point in life, Donny is just a gullible child.

Not his fault; it happens...like Grandpa getting swindled by a hustler pretending to be from the bank, asking him to use his phone to go to a private, secure website, just to test to prove it's really his accounts. You know the drill.

Old people. And Trump got old, simple and foolish. The Jab didn't help.

But Nuttin' Yahoo is using him like a personal wipe.
 

Blanche says DOJ not moving forward with anti-weaponization fund​

Washington — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Tuesday that the Justice Department is not moving forward with its $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that has become a major obstacle to the GOP agenda in Congress.

"We are not moving forward with the fund. Period," he told lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee.

"Not moving forward ever?" Democratic Rep. Grace Meng of New York asked.

"Correct," Blanche responded.

Meng asked whether Blanche would put that committment in writing. He responded that it would be in writing through a transcript of the hearing.
