JUST NOW: In a massive move, U.S. President Donald Trump directed aides to prepare an extended "blockade" of Iranian ports, preferring it over bombing or withdrawing. The strategy targets Iran’s oil exports and economy for nuclear concessions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
JUST NOW: Former FBI Director James Comey self-surrendered today in Alexandria, Virginia.
Indicted yesterday in North Carolina on two felony counts for a 2025 Instagram post of seashells spelling "86 47" interpreted as a threat to President Trump. Max penalty: 20 years.
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
BREAKING: President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and other dignitaries were removed by security after an incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., Saturday night. https://t.co/eiKx4M11yr

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI.
Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.
You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind).
This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal.
In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.
No other company can yet do this.
🚨 BREAKING: A van just RAMMED into a White House barricade and the driver has been apprehended by US Secret Service

WHY would a driver be doing this? We need to find out if there is a motive.
