I would always rather be fishing. I used to do 3D animation for fun in my spare time. I tried to make AI videos for fun but became disillusioned.

Key Point: “The American people are done with war. They will not support war. They will not (voluntarily) pay for war. They will not make sacrifices to support war. They will not encourage their kids and grandkids to fight in wars. They won’t vote for politicians who promise war, and they will punish politicians who get them into war. It’s not Trump who’s making America more isolationist. It’s the American people. And they are going to win this fight.” A War Restrained by the People
Durbin: It's my understanding that this whole supplemental funding request is $87.6 billion. We are told the department of defense still has 75 billion in unobligated funding from last year's reconciliation package. Is that true? Hegseth: Roughly. Durbin: What's going to happen to that 75 billion? Hegseth: There's plans and designs on that—the rebuild of our military… Move away from all the woke priorities of of what the Biden administration was pursuing
We are being lied to continuously about the Iran War. You can’t say their military has been wiped out and then we watch Iran fire missiles day after day killing and injuring our military and hitting their targets with precision accuracy. But it’s not just Trump that is lying. Others in the admin are lying and others are silent which makes them equally responsible. This has gone past blaming Trump to blaming all of them. And they will now be stained by blood from the Iran War that they either support and lie about or are too cowardice to condemn. Blood stains from the girls school, innocent people, our own military service members for an unprovoked war that Americans are against is what they will carry forward into election cycles in the future after Trump is gone and can no longer punish them for what he grotesquely calls disloyalty. Oh you have presidential aspirations do you? Well you better start acting like an adult instead of a clown and publicly loudly stand with the American people, against this war, whom you plan to beg for votes in the not too far distant future. No one in the admin or the party gets a pass. You’ve been warned.
2018 Carr Fire from my friends house before he evacuated. Huge fire incoming in the distance.
Iran bombed ships going through the Strait of Hormuz so Trump bombs Iran, and oil prices start rising again and the stock market goes down making buying opportunities ripe again. Then Trump goes back to saying he bombed Iran because “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” Repeats it at least 60 times to the press today. I didn’t realize Iran’s nuclear program was in the Strait of Hormuz controlling oil. Feels more like post 9/11 Bush era Middle East war lies and war economy politics than any real concern about Iran having a nuclear weapon much like Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Literally what we voted to end from the Republican Party.

13. Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and upon receipt of assurances regarding the commencement of implementation of Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 of this Memorandum of Understanding, and the continued implementation of these steps, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States will enter into negotiations for a Final Agreement solely with respect to the remaining Articles. Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 are the ones where the U.S. makes concessions. Iran got American negotiators to accept a text that emphasizes the U.S. immediately lifting its blockade, withdrawing military forces within 30 days, immediately issuing waivers to facilitate Iranian exports, and committing to unfreeze funds during negotiations rather than after a final deal. Including this language leaves no doubt that the negotiations are on Iran’s terms, and the United States is effectively surrendering.

2. “Trump can veto it” This is the main factual error. In 2026, Donald Trump is not the sitting president, so he has no veto power over anything in Congress. Only the current president can veto federal legislation. Former presidents can influence politics, but they cannot veto bills, block laws, or formally intervene in the legislative process.

Mr. President, completely agree about having a lot of fun over these next seven months. But nitpicking? Some of your advisors are telling you to support things like: - Using billions of taxpayer dollars to compensate convicted felons and thugs who attacked police. (Ed Martin) - Pushing 50-year mortgages and Elizabeth Warren's housing bill over sound conservative housing policy. (Bill Pulte) - Using taxpayer money to transform publicly traded companies into state-owned enterprises. (Howard Lutnick) - Firing our very best generals and not holding Putin accountable for his systematic kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of Ukrainian civilians. (Pete Hegseth) If opposing these things makes me a RINO, then I gladly accept that nickname. We need Republicans to do well in November, but the stupid stuff is killing our chances!
I used an Actual Title: DAX: And as the thirty fourth Rule of Acquisition states, peace is good for business. QUARK: That's the thirty fifth Rule. DAX: Oh, you're right. What's the thirty fourth? QUARK: War is good for business. It's easy to get them confused.
3. Decentralized Cloud Computing (DePIN) If you do need massive data center power but hate corporate monopolies, the alternative is DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). Instead of one giant 9-gigawatt data center in Utah owned by a billionaire, DePIN software links together millions of everyday people's gaming computers and idle office servers all over the world. When you need to run a heavy AI task, your request is split across thousands of regular people's computers. They get paid a tiny fraction of a cent, and you completely bypass the tech giants.

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy · People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the President and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. This is adding to our national debt. If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should bring it to Congress to decide.
Tonight I celebrated my son’s graduation! My friend & Co-Chair gave his all in Kentucky! Trump is my President! Jesus is Lord! I look forward to a lifetime filled with joy, purpose, and gratitude. May God continue to bless America and the freedoms that make this nation the greatest. 🇺🇸
awmakers have highlighted that Noel received a series of cash deposits between April 2018 and July 2019 totaling $12,000 -- with most taking place before Epstein was arrested -- and that the last deposit was made prior to Epstein's death. Documents released by the DOJ also show that Noel made a series of internet searches about Epstein the night he died, including "latest on Epstein in jail."

And in this one, Trump thought he was portraying a nurse.
No deal reached, @VP tells us after a marathon negotiation session with Iran
In light of the recent allegations against Representative Eric Swalwell, I am withdrawing my endorsement of his campaign for Governor.
PELOSI weighs in, says she has advised Swalwell to drop his bid for governor “The young woman who has made serious allegations against Congressman Swalwell must be respected and heard. This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability. As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign.”

Marshall Cohen @MarshallCohen President Trump told MSNOW's @JaxAlemany that he didn't know about Melania's Jeffrey Epstein statement until it happened on TV. But a spokesperson for Melania told NYT's @ShawnMcCreesh that the president knew beforehand that she was going to make a statement.
Every single Trump advisor is now - off the record - telling the @nytimes they were opposed Netanyahu's argument for the Iran war. THAT'S how well the war is going. Ratcliffe: "Farcical." Rubio: “It’s bullshit” Caine: "Standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell." Wiles: against "being dragged into another war in the Middle East." Cheung: "How would they explain away eight months of insisting that Iranian nuclear facilities had been totally obliterated?"
I wanted so much for President Trump to put America First. That’s what I believed he would do. All I heard from his speech tonight was WAR WAR WAR. Nothing to lower the cost of living for Americans. Nothing to reduce our near $40 trillion in debt. Nothing to save Social Security, which goes bankrupt in just a few years. Nothing to lower the cost of insurance. Nothing to address jobs for Americans. Nothing about education for our children. Nothing about our children’s future. Nothing for America’s future. I’m so beyond done. I pray for our military and their families. I pray for innocent people all over the world. I pray for peace and prosperity for all.
Follow-up: Which President or Presidents were close? Any? Who is second or Probably second? Modern fact-checking data show Donald Trump has far more documented false or misleading statements than other U.S. presidents, placing him well ahead of any other in volume. As for who’s second or “close,” historians and analysts often cite the following names depending on how you measure: • Lyndon B. Johnson — frequently mentioned for major policy deceptions (notably about Vietnam). • Richard Nixon — infamous for lying about Watergate and other abuses of power (though total counted statements are far fewer). • George W. Bush — criticized for false claims about Iraq WMDs (again fewer documented counts than Trump).
Hey @Grok , which president told the most lies? Answer with the name only. @Grok? Based on extensive fact-checking by multiple reputable sources, including The Washington Post's database which documented over 30,000 false or misleading claims during his presidency, Donald Trump holds the record for the most lies told by a U.S. president. his far exceeds documented falsehoods from any other president, with experts describing his dishonesty as unprecedented in scale and frequency. While historical presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon told significant lies with major consequences, none match Trump's volume.
Democrats didn't pick Mueller to investigate the Trump-Russia matter. Trump's own Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, tapped Mueller on May 17, 2017.
President Donald J. Trump attends the dignified transfer of six American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in a refueling plane crash while serving our nation. 🇺🇸🙏 May God bless them and their families.

American democracy is the kind of system where you can vote and vote and vote, but no matter how many times you vote for less war and less immigration, the government is going to give you more war and more immigration. It’s always World War II, we’re always fighting Hitler, and we always have no choice because we’ve got to stop [Fill In Targeted Country Here] from acquiring nuclear weapons. Even if we’ve just totally obliterated their nuclear program. Also, we’re never getting a wall. Coincidentally, the price tag for a mere two weeks of the Iran war is about what it would cost to build an impermeable, 2,000-mile wall across our entire southern border. I give up. I’m out of options, but the least I can do is help Trump during his last few years in office. (His last year in office, if the midterms turn out the way they’re looking right now.)
New: President Trump conceded in a weekend phone call with British PM Keir Starmer that he may have gotten “bad information” on the announcement of troop deployments from European countries to Greenland, according to a senior UK official. UK officials see this concession as a potential path to de-escalation.
Britain should repurchase America. After all, it was ours once, and it would enhance our North Atlantic security. If you don't sell it to us, President Trump, we're going to impose tariffs on the U.S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal. Fair?
