@G_CURLEY Scott Pelley did not represent a free press. He represented a biased opinionated press that has no resemblance of a free press.
BTW he was fired FOR CAUSE
One of the worst Scott Pelley segments was when he featured Paul Ehrlich to warn that the planet was heading for extinction. This was in *2023.* Journalist Pelley never mentioned that Ehrlich had gone 0-for-30 in world-is-ending prediction racket over the previous 50 years.
Seizing half the equity of AI companies is obviously dumb, but Bernie’s argument is going to play with at least half the country
Dumb ideas often make brilliant and effective political strategies (see “were gonna deport 20m illegals!”)
These models have been trained on other people’s IP, and in many/most cases against the will or the creators.
90% of Americans will take the side of creators on this issue
correctly believing that much/most of the training data was taken without permission (it was)
The solution to this is obviously paying royalties to IP holders, as
we've always done, not seizing half the equity.
“They stole your work for personal gain” is a fantastically winning platform for @AOC’s presidential run in 2028
OK, let’s keep playing this out.
President Trump’s efforts to free markets, which I’m in strong agreement with, have been effective — too effective, in fact
Equity holders are surging in Trump 2.0, and the working class has been fucked.
This makes the “they’re getting rich(er)by stealing, and you’re getting poorer” even more convincing
This administration has failed the working and middle class, which will ultimately drive voters to socialists like Bernie, @SenWarren and @ZohranKMamdani.
Wake-up call is coming, folks.
Smith: How do you respond to Minnesota farmers who cannot afford the fertilizer they need?
Bessent: The definition of a farmer is someone who owns a farm and farmed the land so as a former farmer I will tell you…. There is no doubt farmers have been struggling but there was a record crop last year and what to record crops lead to? Lower prices.
Smith: I will take that back to my producers in Minnesota, that they have somebody in this department of treasury, a former farmer, who is feeling their pain.
🚨 BREAKING: In a STUNNING moment, Sec. Rubio reveals USAID not only helped NGOs commit fraud but PURPOSEFULLY UNDERMINED and CONTRADICTED US State Department directives and interests in foreign nations
THAT IS DE FACTO TREASON!!
"It operated almost as an independent State Department, and often times USAID was operating in contravention and contradiction of what the Embassy was trying to accomplish in the host country!"
"And one of the complaints you would get from many developing countries is that they would get flooded with NGOs that were picked for them, these NGOs would then operate in the country without even coordinating with the government, doing whatever they wanted and pursuing what they wanted."
"In some cases, it extended well beyond food and medicine, it extended to political interference and all sorts of other activities in these countries that were undermining the national interest and the credibility of the United States."
Rep. Tim Kennedy (D-NY): “Your predecessor is no longer here, she disgraced this department, and it seems like you are following right in her footsteps, under your leadership —”
DHS Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “That is not true. Don’t accuse me of something that’s not true.”
“You can say all you want, but don’t accuse me of something that’s not accurate. You can sit there and tell lies all day long and all it is a lie. That’s a flat-out lie, and you know it’s a flat lie. That’s a lie.”
“You know that’s a lie. That’s a lie. You know it’s a lie.”
@EricSpracklen Wait WHAT??? If you took out a 30 year mortgage why would it take 90 years to pay it off? Did you even read your loan documents? Do you not know how mortgages work? OMG
"They don't have the right to assault my officers!"
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin shuts down Rep. Lou Correa's talking points after the Democrat raised concerns about American citizens being roughed up during ICE operations.
REP. CORREA: "What can we do to protect the rights of American citizens?"
SEC. MULLIN: "We can protect the rights of American citizens all day long. They don't have the right to assault my officers."
