It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. The vast majority of Americans agree that photo ID should be required to vote. Why do some people in Washington oppose this simple measure to secure our elections?

Gamergate 2 is underway. Former game executive and develop at Blizzard Mark Kern @Grummz: "The way games are funded you don't use your own money. Even EA, it's games are hugely expensive to make they're they're upwards of you know 250 sometimes 600 million dollars it's for certain live games it's incredibly how expensive they are and to do that uh your CFO is your best friend. "You're counting on your CFO to get you tax breaks to get you in to put studios in regions which are financially favorable and you will borrow the cheap money you will get a cheap money to do it. Even EA does this. I worked with EA; we were putting together a deal where they were taking bailout money from the banks in the last financial crisis that we had, and they were applying that cheap money towards games same thing with Covid money. They're applying that cheap money towards games, and what has been the cheapest money while interest rates were still low, you know a couple of years ago it was ESG financing, and so they're going to take this money." "Because the returns on investment have been so poor on Wall Street for ESG funds, that source of Revenue is drying it up. This Woke machine cannot continue in the way that it is now for AAA gaming, and I think unfortunately, it's so entrenched that you're not going to see—you're not going to see much of an ability to course correct because the studios are—they're just gonna shut down."

Doug DeMuro just reviewed the refreshed Tesla Model 3, and he calls it 'The Greatest Appliance Ever Made'. Not particularly the most exciting car to drive, but the best car ever made that can get you from Point A to Point B. @DougDeMuro youtu.be/aqYKMcnv33E?si=pIhd…

Excuse me @JustinTrudeau I'm a psychologist. Despite the best efforts of your ideological allies. I told your idiot Senators in 2016 that your idiot virtue signaling Bill C16 would cause a psychogenic epidemic among young women. Guess what happened? Now I'm telling you something else: the Brits have woken up and banned puberty blockers for kids. As they should have. But the butchers are still operating in Canada. Every day this continues is on you. You're culpable in child mutilation and sterilization. If it was up to me you'd be tried for it. Along with all the other butchers and enablers. You and your toxic compassion. For shame, Canada. england.nhs.uk/publication/c…

This is an amazing number to watch in the next few years. Individual income taxes are about 1/2 of the govt revenue. For February, the US govt collected $120 billion from individual income taxes. They had to spend $76 billion in February to pay interest on the nation debt. We are not that far off from a day when 100% of individual income taxes are going to be required to pay for interest on the debt.

No one is surprised

When I see a good post or article on 𝕏, I send the X.com link to friends/family so they aren’t fooled by legacy media

Futurist Ray Kurzweil Tells Joe Rogan AI Will Achieve Human-level Intelligence by 2029 "We're not quite there, but we will be there, and by 2029 it will match any person. I'm actually considered conservative. People think that will happen next year or the year after. I actually said that in 1999. I said we would match any person by 2029. So 30 years, people thought that was totally crazy. In fact, Stanford had a conference that invited several hundred people from around the world to talk about my prediction, and people thought that this would happen, but not by 2029. They thought it would take 100 years."

They told us Jake Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, was a dangerous lunatic who deserved to be sent to prison, if not shot to death. Many believed it. But is he actually crazy? Judge for yourself.
