Netanyahu has started a major invasion of crumbling Gaza City claiming it is root out Hamas. A lie. There is nothing left of Hamas.

And without the negligent collapse of the Israeli border security on October 7th, they never would have been able to send a few thousand fighters with small arms across the border. The real purpose of the Israeli invasion against one million innocent and utterly defenseless Gaza civilians in Gaza City is the drive them out of Northern Gaza into the crowded sick, injured and dying Palestinians in the south.

That’s the latest stage in Mega Terrorist Netanyahu’s Genocide or Palestinian Holocaust.

@realDonaldTrump you are aiding and abetting this mass slaughter of babies, children, mothers and fathers as American bombs and missiles spray what is left of Gaza City. History will record you as Trump the Terrorist and Betrayer of the U.S. Constitution by seizing the war power from Congress, as did Biden before you—but you are supposed to be different from Biden. You are not.

What has Netanyahu got on you that shuts you up and turns you into a coward? -R

Why the Central Limit Theorem Misleads You - Exactly Where It Matters Most
Everyone learns the Central Limit Theorem (CLT):
“Add up a lot of independent random variables, and the distribution looks Gaussian.”
It’s true — but dangerously incomplete.

Today marks three years since Israel killed veteran Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. An Israeli sniper shot her in the head in broad daylight as she was walking up a street in full press gear with her colleagues in Jenin, in an area where there was no crossfire.

President Trump has issued an executive order outlining his vision for an "Iron Dome for America," modeled on Israel's missile defense system. Experts told us that Trump's order is vague, far-reaching, technically challenging and potentially expensive. https://t.co/ViZTdpCB4i

#SOTU2025

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

President Trump said, “The Government Accountability Office …. has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation, and we are working very hard to stop it.”

That government office last year estimated that fraud might cost the federal government $233 billion to $521 billion a year, citing 2018 to 2022 data.

Trump made the comment about the fraud after his remarks about creating the Department of Government Efficiency, which he said is headed by Elon Musk.

Trump created DOGE by executive order on his first day in office. Although DOGE has claimed billions in savings, its only public accounting of that savings — a website with a “wall of receipts” — has been riddled with errors. https://t.co/r19kFyUPuy

I just walked out of Trump’s Joint Address on behalf of the people of California’s 37th district.

President Trump says he's frozen all foreign aid. That's not true.

He has cut aid that supported people around the world facing starvation and disease.

Meanwhile, he's approved over $11 billion in weapons to Israel, paid for by US taxpayers.

Social media users claimed that DOGE discovered a man making more than $1 million using dozens of Social Security numbers. That’s baseless.

The average #SuperBowlLIX ticket costs $4,708. Of course President Trump was cheered by the crowd.

It would take someone making minimum wage 649 hours to make that much.

With DeepSeek, investors are (re)learning that those who come up with an *innovative* idea are almost never those who will make money from it.
Eg: Clive Osborne made the first laptop computer & went bust. Same with car, planes...
Next: electric cars.
