Racism has always driven American identity. The hard-core racists were driven underground for a while, but they are back, and with a vengeance.

The strategy for getting gas prices down seems to be murdering Venezuelan citizens at sea until Venezuala can be lured into military defens, and then using the cover of war for taking their oil reserves by force.

The US doesn't recognize the authority of the court at the Hague. In fact UuS law considers it an act of war to indict an American at the Hague. Things might get interesting.

Ironically, that's a fascist slogan. And the fasci is also on our money (the bundle of small rods to make one strong one). There are little breadcrumbs of fascism all over America.

Not that driverless cars and control theory are a be-all end-all. They deal with a different kind of problem, one that deals with a physical environment rather than an informational environment. Different day; different problem; different investors.

Note that LLMs basically identify and exploit patterns in data. Useful, but they don't have to confront adversaries, which all truly intelligent systems do. Driverless cars use an entirely different technical foundation (based on control theory), and definitely do have to confront adversaries...

There are a few AI approaches. They go in cycles. One gets popular, attracts lots of money, suspicion grows, and then it wanes just as a different approach gets popular. Network approaches (e.g. LLMs like ChatGPT) are just one approach. And suspicion has started to grow. Next stop: driverless cars.

Conveniently at exactly the same time Epstein was setting up for his suicide. Remarkable coincidence seeing that Epstein could not see the guard station from his cell.

No. The Clinton's didn't kill people. Vince Foster committed suicide because he learned how much of a blood sport Washington politics was.

Epstein provided different services to different classes of client. To American leaders, he provided young girls. To others, he provided kompromat.

Yes there was. And Epstein was on suicide watch. So they were supposed to fit his bed with special sheets that aren't strong enough to hang one's self. That doesn't mean that those sheets can't be ripped or tied.

Not true. The the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that neither Congress nor the judiciary can intervene in a presidential pardon. Especially a preemptive one. The courts could establish some kind of protection for victims of any crimes the pardoned person might have committed but not much more

My understanding of the current constitutional interpretation is that presidential pardon power is very broad and a president may issue a pardon to a charged person before charging, after charging, and during trial.
