I'm good with vetoing every one of those bills.
If you're on the fence, or on the right, even a little bit, the Democrats are telling you what they are going to do next time they are in the majority. @SenatorSlotkin and others are telling you they intend to stay in the majority by coming after you.
She's telling us exactly what she, and the Democrats, are doing.
Are you paying attention yet?

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
I endorse the call for her to resign.
This is the play book of socialist everywhere. Demonize your opponents because they can't debate ideas. They only know intimidation and coercion.
🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is facing calls to resign after she publicly called for the persecution of Trump allies to intimidate young conservatives against participating
WHAT A DEEP STATE CROOK!
She dreams of it: "I want young people to be like, lord, that may buy myself a ton of problems I don't want, so let me avoid participating. I want deterrence."
She's not talking about anyone accused of a crime. She's talking about kids fresh out of college deciding whether to take a job in a lawfully elected administration
Her plan is "signature cases" against "the people who enabled him," because, in her words, they "have no immunity the way the president does"
She wants teenagers to be scared of tyrants like her!
This is the Way
⚡️Flames, explosions reported amid large Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg.
Eyewitness footage taken by St. Petersburg residents shows what appears to be Ukrainian drones flying through the air and the city's air defense systems at work. Large explosions can be seen lighting up the night sky in the city of 5.6 million, 856 kilometers (532 miles) north of the Ukrainian border.

Listen up Michiganders: The Michigan Democrats are telling voters to leave the Senate race blank: don’t vote for Abdul El-Sayed, and don’t vote for Mike Rogers either.
Former state party chair Lon Johnson and strategist David Kramer are publicly urging disaffected Democrats to skip both candidates as an “act of dignity.”
This is not an act of dignity. You need to vote . If you don’t want Abdul in, hold your nose and vote for Mike Rogers.
This is your chance to make sure that we don’t elect a Muslim (who might be tied to the Muslim brotherhood) to our senate!
Do the right thing!

Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling
“Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word."
"That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person."
"But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”
When I'm sitting in a line like this and I step outside and hear engines running, it's obvious that some people aren't concerned about gas prices.
BTW, it's 42° F, they're not running the A/C.

...our ancestors did not have the option to launch chemical warfare on their fields (and dinner tables). So weeding was an important task: long stalks give less sunlight to the lower growing weeds, smothering them...
I've noticed while driving around staying in various hotels the last few days; anytime something amiss is reported to the front desk, the answer is, "I'll report it to (someone else)."
I wonder how often it happens.
Possibly the most intelligent thing I've heard
@SenatorSlotkin say.
Of course local zoning and regulations are holding back housing, especially affordable (lower priced) housing.
In many communities it's by design. If they want any housing they want expensive housing for taxes.
I’m very big into this idea that local zoning and local rules and regulations actually really are holding some of our communities back on housing.
And a reminder to our local leaders: before you come to the federal government, what have you done to really look inward at where your local regulations are holding back more housing, more development?
3 weeks before a free election, 2 years after the last free election, Democrats claiming this country is being run by an authoritarian is the real election denying. They lost the last election and don't like it.
Maybe she can't get media attention because she isn't running.
I was actually in Hungary as we were trying to figure out a place to host my speech. And the irony was not lost on me that as I was there learning about how they are coming out of 16 years of authoritarianism, in my own country I can’t find a venue that’s brave enough to host me in talking about coming out of authoritarianism.
A number of universities and think tanks said, “We’re sorry, but we just can’t take the risk. We don’t wanna draw that kind of attention to ourselves.”
And I thought, that’s a problem.

“A Ukrainian strike meant to degrade Russian infrastructure appears to have, as a side effect, switched off a meaningful share of the machinery behind Russian-aligned influence operations across the West — in real time, measurably, across three countries simultaneously.” Anyone tracking this in Australia?
🔥 Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers just exposed something bigger than infrastructure damage: a global disinformation machine running on Russian servers.
Ukrainian Armed Forces hit three Russian data centers in response to Russian strikes on its own infrastructure. Pro-Russian-aligned bot activity across Western social media collapsed within hours — by over 99%, according to Cloudflare data cited by French outlet Le Parisien @le_Parisien.
What happened:
Ukraine struck three major Russian data facilities — first in Sasovo (Ryazan region), then Kaluga region, then Vladimir region, east of Moscow. All three rank among Russia's ten largest data centers and host infrastructure for Yandex — Russia's equivalent of Google.
Yandex confirmed on Telegram: "Following a drone attack, the Vladimir data center infrastructure was damaged. Data center operations have been completely halted. The remaining infrastructure resources are unstable and the platform is down."
What followed, measured in real time:
@Cloudflare recorded a near-total collapse — over 99% — in bot activity originating from Yandex infrastructure, timed precisely to when the data centers went offline.
The pattern showed up simultaneously across multiple countries:
🇩🇪 Germany: AfD-related social media support dropped 56%
🇬🇧 UK: Traffic around Reform UK content in freefall
🇺🇸 US: Observers noted a sharp drop in pro-Kremlin-aligned replies across platforms, especially X.
Czech MEP Tomáš Zdechovský: "If confirmed, this is revealing: Russian data centers get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly collapses. So much talk about German patriotism... until the connection from Russia goes down."
Why this isn't speculation out of nowhere:
In July 2024, the US Justice Department dismantled a network of 1,000+ X accounts tied to Russian intelligence — software generating fake identities and automated behavior, pushing Kremlin-aligned messaging across the US and Europe. A study from the start of the full-scale invasion found 20% of 350,000 analyzed US messages came from bots.
Historian Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder: "It seems fairly clear from today's evidence that a lot of this bot activity depends directly on Russian data centers."

From what I've been reading, this is why the Democrats are predicted to have a majority in the House, and possibly the Senate. Voters with absolutely no foresight, simply voting "against" Trump, who will be in office for 2 and a half years regardless of how they vote.
This one video says it all about liberals
A white liberal woman is read Abdul El-Sayed policies... but really they are actually Mike Rogers policies
She says she actually agrees with Mike Rogers on policy but is still voting Abdul El-Sayed because of Donald Trump
“I certainly wouldn't vote for that guy (Mike Rogers). He loves Trump. He has been a Trump supporter, Trump is ruining the world, not just us. He's ruining the world”
“So when it comes to your vote, the number one thing for you is anti-Trump?”
“Yes.”
This literally makes my brain hurt. White liberal woman are the most brainwashed indoctrinated people on the planet, how do we ever get these people to wake up
Even Charlie Kirk said he had no idea how to sold the issue of indoctrinated white liberal women

NEW BORN INFANTS CAN BE TERMINATED (INFANTICIDE) AFTER A LIVE BIRTH IN MINNESOTA
MN Governor Tim Walz signing to REPEAL the Minnesota “Born Alive Infants Protection Act.”
Now a botched abortion (an infant born alive after a botched abortion) or a healthy new born infant, Can Now Be LEGALLY TERMINATED after a live birth. This is defined as INFANTICIDE. Keeping the new born drugged until it's death is been labled as " COMFORT CARE"
Look how elated the women around Waltz are behaving…
This is the way.
BREAKING: Ukraine has just struck the NZNP Rostovsky oil products export terminal in Rostov-on-Don and set it ablaze, hours after the US-Russia diesel deal and Trump lifting sanctions on Russian fuel exports.
This is a products export terminal, exactly where the diesel would leave Russia under the deal.
Ukrainian military sources said earlier today that the Trump administration's attempt to use Russian diesel to lower US prices before the midterms "will bear no fruit."
