There are a bunch of Christians who think Trump was sent by God.
I think they're right, but it's not the god they're thinking of.
It's Shiva.

Do you own/run a company? There's a new "FinCEN" requirement to file a BOIR report in 30 days. It's 5 minutes work, but do NOT go to www.boir-registration.org -- total scam site. They charge $379 to file "for you"...but the correct site is free and only slightly clunkier. GO TO: fincen.gov/boi

Beneficial ownership information reporting requirements are now back in effect, with a new deadline of March 21, 2025, for most companies. Prior to March 21, 2025, FinCEN will assess its options for f...

This innocent-looking request is a huge security risk. Why did Musk do it? To put all those responses into an AI engine to find out what agencies are really working on (vs what they say they are). Not just sneaky: totally illegal.

Several administration officials tell workers not to reply to Musk email
Leaders at defense and intelligence offices were particularly wary of Musk’s demand over the weekend asking workers to outline what they did last week.

In case you're wondering, Tesla powerwalls' savings estimates are complete BS. I don't know how they calculate it, but the cheery little year-end summary Tesla's app gives you is at least 5x larger than reality. At least for me...other folks' experiences???

Sad to see so many BS "people" following me. Girls, gambling scams, you name it.
I guess this is totally unavoidable without -- what -- verification that you are actually a human that is not on the make. Guess we need to have a "scammer demotion method" here!!!

Some good news: Google's Gemini is getting better than ChatGPT for general information questions with a clear answer. Gemini doesn't try to answer every query...whereas ChatGPT tries too hard to please...generating an answer even when it really doesn't know. Gemini also will point to its sources.

Trump nominates Superman to head HHS.
"Everyone knows his strength, everyone likes him, he was born when America was Great, and he has strong Jewish connections," announced Mr. Trump. "That part about 'truth, justice, and the American way', I'm not so sure about."
