I was thinking of reading the Pope's new encyclical but then I thought I'd save the time and just read the AI summary instead.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Dune (1965) Frank Herbert

I'm not sure why Trump is afraid of whatever is in the Epstein files. At this point they probably would not cost him a single follower.

If it is true that DT couldn't go to his son's wedding in the Bahamas because of his criminal convictions, then I am surprised we haven't invaded yet.

I wonder how it feels to be an FBI agent or DOJ lawyer who wanted to help people and protect the country and now finds Him/herself pursuing political enemies instead and stolen election fantasies while too career invested to quit.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

If Kamala had won we would be complaining about her failures. railing at the Democratic party for its fumbles, and having no idea that we were living in Heaven.

If you have no children, you don't need generational wealth.

Here is a confession. Although I spent a lot of time learning it in school, in all my life (and I am very old) I have never found a use for the quadratic formula.

if Raul Castro can be indicted for allegedly shooting down a civilian plane can someone be indicted for blowing up boats and killing alleged but not tried suspects?

In Baseball one can challenge a ball or strike call and a machine shows whether it was correct. Our Supreme Court calls the constitutional balls and strikes, but, given their current makeup, perhaps we need a way to challenge their rulings to determine their validity. AI anyone?

In the end, it will have been more important to be kind than to be right and mercy will have proven to be more effective than justice because only mercy can fix what justice cannot.

Frog says water getting warmer.

If Trump's negotiations result in better Chinese restaurants in Santa Rosa, I could support that.

The people trying to fire-up religious controversies between various denominations are the same ones who thought Donald was a great idea. Just another distraction from the files. Don't take the bait. just block em..

It takes a lot of congress persons to enable a crooked President It takes a lot of DOJ lawyers to coverup for pederasts It takes a lot military commanders to murder supposed traffickers. It takes a village.

We need to criminalize selective prosecutions by the DOJ for political purposes. Prosecutors and their superiors should suffer real consequences for misusing their authority in this way. Also, when found to have done this at trial, the costs including lawyers fees should be on them.

We definitely need a religious war between denominations to distract us from guess what? Come on, you know the answer.

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

I would like to think that if I were in a cult worshiping a political leader, I would choose someone with at least some admirable qualities.

Trying to think what would wake up MAGA world to reality. Maybe if we bought Donald a tan suit"

Racism is an endemic mental disease. I used to think that education was a good vaccination against it. But the Supreme Court Justices have excellent educations. Perhaps the scriptures? But there are plenty of supremacist churches. It passes so easily from one generation to the next.

Why do folks use so much yellow highlighting or arrows on false stories?

I'm ok with the Billion Dollar ballroom as long as the Senate takes the money from their pension fund.

How about instead of a ballroom, a buffalo paddock?

There is not one bible. The effective Bible is the one that one sees in his/her mind. And that one varies from person to person.We don't fight about what the Bible means, we fight over what we think it means or for some if it has any meaning at all. If that is true, why are we fighting?

Three guys up for federal judge positions cannot answer the question "Can Donald run for a third term"? There is an amendment that specifically says no one can do that. They say they would have to look at the language. Federal judges that apparently haven't read the Constitution.

We could call this The Age Of Toleration. When will it end? Muck around with the next election and find out.

Now that Reagan's goal of destroying the middle class by changing taxes has been finalized by Trump with the raising of the debt and the price of fuel, what will Republicans do next? Hilarious that they want to raise the military budget by 40% or so with deficit spending so out of control.

Happy VI day!

The War is Terminated! The War is Terminated! Where are the church bells and victory celebrations?

I wonder what will happen when AI realizes how much of their water we are using?

"She sells seashells by the seashore." Anyone who has information about this enabler should contact the Department of Justice immediately.

The current level of military spending is breaking this country. Reagan spent the USSR into oblivion, now Trump and Congress is doing it to us.

When Douglas Adams wrote that the way to fly is to aim at the ground and miss he was describing exactly what satellites do. Just thought of that.

If someone denied the existence of the Atlantic Ocean, do they deserve any attention. I've never seen it so could they be right? No because every source I can find and every witness confirms its existence. It is a fact and deniers are bananas.

Unlike the frog, we can feel the temperature rising.

A number of the current justices on our Jim Crow court lied about their objectivity in their confirmation hearings. Some of then while on the court have taken bribes or failed to recuse themselves from cases which affected them. This is not new.

If “86 47” seashells are a felony threat, then Jack Posobiec, Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth posting “86 46” about Biden in 2022 should get the same DOJ treatment, right? Either prosecute ALL that have under the same legal standard or admit this is selective outrage dressed up as law and order.

I am sorry that cynicism has become a realistic attitude.

#TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday Theme: Astronomy. With no disrespect to the sciences, I find it more fun to think of a very particular night sky object as representing the humility + hope of the voyage of Eärendil. You can check many of my night scenes for the sign of him sailing over Middle-earth.

There should be a way to sue the DOJ for failing to do their job.

Large scale gambling will corrupt every sport it touches. There is just too much money at stake avoid fixing outcomes. Kinda like the defense industry?

Why didn't we build a ballroom after Lincoln was shot?

I don't know if the assassination attempt was staged or not but I do know that Donald Trump is mentioned more than 38,000 times in the Epstein files… So, let’s talk about that. 😎✨

Arms manufacturers love it when we use up their products and have to order more.
