The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

With the new Papal Encyclical on AI, workers can potentially cite religious freedom to not be evaluated by AI or forced to use it. Let's see how long before a lot of the religious freedom crowd goes "no, not like that."

www.cnn.com/2026/05/26/p... Getting a piece of the illegitimate and likely illegal slush fund does not make it less a slush fund. If they feel bad, they can give it a way to say Amazon hourly workers.

www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/w... As predicted, Congress sneaks out so war can heat up again while they are gone.

So tired of the bullshit. U.S. says today it has gotten Iran to agree to not seek to have a nuclear weapon. Here is the JCPOA from July 14, 2015 “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.” www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/1224...

What is worse than tech monsters?: Stoned Tech Monsters www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... From the bs about Universal High Income or AI, these monsters must’ve been high. Look at every tech or industrial revolution and ask yourself did the rich look out for the little guy or gal? No.

Homeland Security is lying? Say it ain’t so!

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... This is dumb. If spending money for bath mats saves the government way more money for accidental falls health care, logic would say it is the government who needs to buy them. Shoot, the government should mail one to every senior!

Looks like the NFL is cooperating with the Florida AG who wants to stop the league from enforcing a rule requiring teams to consider hiring coaches of color. Total farce. apnews.com/article/nfl-...

Wow…I had no idea.. UNRWA smuggled the Palestinian memory archive from its headquarters in Gaza, meaning the record of every 🇵🇸 who became a refugee after the 1948 Nakba, to preserve their legitimate right to return and compensation in the event of a settlement..
