Feed Children at School. Free Breakfast and Lunch. In a country as rich as the USA we ought to be able to feed our children. Restore food stamps too.

Hungry children do not learn well... They find it difficult to pay attention to anything other than their hunger... Just like all humans... 

One of the most evil things that Trump has done is to cut food stamps. Millions of children were getting fed by that program. I understand that billionaires need more tax cuts... But there ought to be a way to tax the rich and feed the poor.

One overlooked failure of the Trump food stamp program is that the grocery stores that depended on food stamp sales closed... They went out of business... Laying off Clerks, stockers, truck drivers... Everybody loses... And the farmers lose too... Increasing tariffs make it impossible to sell crops overseas... Reducing food stamps means that they don't sell as much food... DUH... This is a case of totally idiotic Trump policy...

Feed Children at School. Both breakfast and lunch. In a country as rich as the USA we ought to be able to feed our children.

the vast increase of poverty in the USA was caused by trumps insane war with Iran... And Trump's insane tariffs... He has caused the USA to be dramatically worse...

Is Steve Hilton a Danger to America? YES... And here's why... California Governor's Race: Conspiracy Theorist Steve Hilton is the Front Runner for the Republican Party. Fox News Freak. Originally from England. A Total Trump Pansy...

*Alignment with "MAGA" Politics: Opponents frequently label Hilton a "fervent Trump loyalist". Critics argue that his "positive populism" and "MAGA" associations are a "dangerous path" that could alienate moderate voters and bring polarizing national politics to California.

*Policy Positions: Some view his stances on sensitive issues as extreme. For example, he has suggested he would extradite California abortion doctors to states like Louisiana where the procedure is restricted.

*2020 Election Rhetoric: Following the 2020 presidential election, Hilton used his Fox News platform to demand investigations into claims of election fraud, which critics view as undermining democratic processes. (there was no ACTUAL fraud - it was all a symptom of Trump's paranoid schizophrenia)



Calif. governor's race poll shows former Fox News host leading...

Get to Know the candidate! Click Here!Stephen Glenn Charles Hilton (born 25 August 1969)[1][2] is a British and American conservative political commentator, former political adviser, and contributor for Fox News Channel.[3] He served as director of strategy for the British Prime Minister David Cameron from 2010 to 2012.[4] Hilton hosted The Next Revolution, a weekly current affairs show for Fox News from 2017 to 2023.[5] He is a proponent of what he calls "positive populism" and a strong endorser of U.S. President Donald Trump.[6] He was a co-founder of the crowd-funding platform Crowdpac,[7] but resigned as CEO in 2018.[8]

Hilton's parents, whose original surname was Hircsák[9] emigrated from Hungary during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. They came to Britain, initially claiming asylum, and anglicised their name to Hilton.

and then I Read:
What does "from scratch" mean on a working farm? My mom's chores for her family of 10 meant early rising for her and her sister, Alma. Bring in 2 loads of firewood, and start the fire in the kitchen cook stove and the pot-bellied heating stove...Go out to the barn and gather the eggs. Run out the kittens or king snake sometimes, too...(It is real, guys. I had a king snake while visiting 1 summer, and had egg gathering as my chore.) Then, time to milk the cow...Mama hated the smell of milk till the day she died because of this. But, I was never bothered by it. I loved milking the cow...
Then, the mules had to be fed because Grandpa was up by now and getting ready for the fields. It was around 5 am. Roosters were crowing, and life was awake. Bacon and ham were gathered from one of the 2 smokehouses. The grocery store was in your yard...Gather the coldest water in the world straight from a hand-pump beside the long, wooden porch...The day Grandpa modernized that pump I was there, and it broke my heart. I haven't seen one since then. It was easy enough to use..By 4 pumps, water was on its way, so WHY ?? (If it AINT broke, don't fix it !!)
The breakfast was sausage, ham, bacon, eggs, grits, toast, homemade biscuits, jelly, jam, apple butter and fresh water or milk...The part bought here would've been the flour and grits. All else was farm supplied...including that "frigging" butter and cheese...(Granny tricked me into churning it one time. I ran from then on if she had the churn out. Your arms will fall off and you can NOT stop or it ruins the process.) Sometimes, the lard was homemade too.. When the hogs were killed, nothing was wasted. Huge black cauldrons were fired up, and the hides were boiled. The scraping off the insides of these hides made "country lard."
One son, my uncle Charles, would finish his breakfast and head to the hitching barn. A team of the best country mules around the area were about to head into a sunrise to begin their day on the 104 acre George Hammond farm in Belton, South Carolina.
(My family is gone now, but these memories will never die of an AMERICA that is dying herself now... I am gonna share my mom's chicken and dumplings here today, and how they cooked them on that farm from "scratch." If anyone can get it more country than that----then, have at it !!) Be patient...i gotta work first awhile...keep watching...and thanks for reading, and allowing me to share these memories.

I don't know what it takes to find lasting friendships in this world. I can occasionally find someone to hang out with for a day, but then they always seem to disappear. Other people seem to have friends who stay in their lives. I wonder why that is so elusive to me? If I hang out with someone and we have a nice time together, why can't we hang out again? Where do they disappear to?
Romantic relationships are a joke at this point. I should have been more focused on that when I was younger. That ship sailed years ago. I untied the rope myself and pushed the ship away from the dock, thinking another ship would come along shortly. I didn't understand that that was the only ship. Once it sails, it's gone forever.
The main thing I care about now is just having someone to spend time with who cares about me. A friend would be fine. Yes, I know I do have friends, but most of them aren't local, or they aren't available to spend time with me because they have their own relationships that take priority, and there's nothing wrong with that. But you'd think it would be easier to connect with other single people in my area. You'd think other single women would be looking for a single friend like me to go out and have fun with every once in a while. There is so much I want to do, but I don't want to do it alone. I've got a good job now, and I can afford stuff. Can I buy a friend? Just kidding...but really, I would if I could. I've tried going out alone hoping to make friends, but that's impossible when nobody else is alone. Everyone else is always with other people, so I go out alone and remain alone the entire time. Meetup groups in my area aren't very good either. I've tried a few, but they tend to be cliquey. Hard to make friends in groups of people who have already formed a clique.

and I Replied:

We will be leaving for Texas in a few days for Thanksgiving. We are driving there. I've been really looking forward to that part, because the time I drove to Texas in 1994 was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. I've never been able to afford to do much interstate traveling, and I remember how cool it was to be out on the open road, and to be able to stop and see all kinds of interesting things along the way. I also remember the miles and miles of saguaro cacti in Arizona with the beautiful red rock formations in the background. This trip will be a lot speedier, though, so there won't be time to stop very many places along the way. I'm a little worried about what to pack (I tend to get anxiety about packing for trips), and I'm also a little worried about spending time in a red state with COVID still out there. Probably should get a booster before we go, although I hate the fact that it might give me side effects and slow me down for a few days, but I feel like it wouldn't be smart to travel to a red state without getting boosted first because right-wingers have made COVID into a political issue instead of a health issue, which is still so bizarre to me. But I know there is a much higher likelihood of encountering unvaccinated people in Texas than there is in CA, and that does make me a bit uneasy.

Write an Article entitled "How Can I Make money on the Stock Market using AI?" 

It Said:
Many people believe that artificial intelligence (AI) could be the key to making money on the stock market. After all, AI has the ability to process vast amounts of data and make predictions based on that data.

So, how can you use AI to make money on the stock market?

There are a few ways to do this:

1. Use an AI-based stock trading platform: There are a number of AI-based stock trading platforms available. These platforms use AI to help you make money on the stock market.

2. Use an AI stock market advisor: Another way to make money on the stock market with AI is to use an AI stock market advisor. These advisors use AI to help you make investment decisions.

3. Use an AI stock market simulator: If you want to try your hand at making money on the stock market, but don't want to risk any real money, you can use an AI stock market simulator. These simulators use AI to help you make trades.

Whichever method you choose, if you're looking to make money on the stock market with AI, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Firstly, remember that AI is not a magic solution that will guarantee profits. The stock market can be unpredictable and there will always be risks involved. However, AI can help you make more informed decisions and potentially increase your chances of success.

Secondly, make sure you do your research and choose a reputable AI-based platform or advisor. Look for reviews and testimonials from other users and make sure the platform has a track record of successful investments.

Lastly, don't rely solely on AI. Use it as a tool to supplement your own knowledge and research. Keep up with industry news and trends, and always be willing to adapt and change your investment strategy as needed.

In conclusion, while there is no foolproof way to make money on the stock market, AI can certainly be a valuable tool in your investment arsenal. Whether you choose to use an AI-based trading platform, advisor, or simulator, be sure to do your research and use it to supplement your own expertise. With patience, discipline and the right approach, you can potentially use AI to boost your investment portfolio.

Erin Brockovich AI reporting website


AI Data Centers & Our Communities
An initiative by Erin · Environmental Advocate https://www.brockovichdatacenter.com/

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich has launched a public reporting platform focused on the impact of AI data centers, arguing that rapid expansion by major tech companies is placing growing pressure on local communities and natural resources. The website encourages residents to report concerns including noise pollution, rising utility costs, energy demand, and water consumption linked to nearby facilities.
The debate over data centers has intensified nationwide as more communities push back against large AI infrastructure projects. Recent polling from Gallup found that roughly seven in ten Americans oppose having AI data centers built near where they live, with many respondents citing concerns about water use, electricity demand, environmental impact, and rising utility bills. Brockovich has argued that greater transparency and stronger environmental oversight are needed as the industry continues to grow.

AI Data Center environmental action needed - meme

Erin Brockovich is taking aim at the AI industry, warning that Big Tech’s rapid data center expansion could become the next major environmental fight for American communities.

She recently launched a public reporting map at brockovichdatacenter, and within a week, more than 1,600 residents had submitted concerns about noise, rising utility bills, and pressure on local water supplies. To Brockovich, the pattern looks familiar: corporations promise jobs and tax revenue, local officials move projects forward with limited environmental review, and residents are left to live with the consequences.

The water issue is especially alarming to critics. Data centers can require large amounts of water to cool their systems, and some are being built near or above important aquifers. Brockovich has argued that wasting heat means wasting water, and that communities cannot afford either. She says technology already exists to capture and reuse waste heat, but companies are not being required to use it.

A recent Gallup poll reportedly found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with some saying they would rather live near a nuclear plant than a massive data facility.

Brockovich’s message is direct: if Big Tech is going to use public resources, residents deserve full transparency about how much water and power these facilities consume. For her, the issue is not just about AI growth. It is about accountability, public trust, and whether communities get a real say before their resources are reshaped by corporate expansion.

California has a water problem. It also has a power grid problem. For years, the state watched billions of gallons of precious water evaporate directly into the sky from 4,000 miles of exposed canals baking in the sun. Then someone realized the empty space above the water was actually the solution. California is now covering its canal system with solar panels. The state didn't need to buy a single acre of new land. They didn't have to clear any natural habitats. They simply looked at existing infrastructure and made it do two jobs at once. The panels generate clean electricity for a stressed grid, and the shade they cast stops the water loss.

In early April 2026, residents of Trinidad, Texas started noticing something wrong with their tap water.

It was coming out brown. Murky. Leaving dark residue in sinks and bathtubs. People in local Facebook groups started comparing notes. Some said they had been getting sick. Some said they couldn't cook with it, couldn't bathe in it, couldn't do laundry.

Jennifer Combs decided someone needed to say something publicly.
She posted on her Facebook page, Southern Belle Watch, warning residents that the city's water appeared contaminated and that people had been hospitalized due to bacteria in the supply. She urged anyone experiencing symptoms or discolored water to come forward.

Trinidad Police Department responded on April 6th with their own Facebook post, calling her claims false information that was creating fear and panic in the community. Police Chief Charles Gregory said her hospitalization claims were simply false and had only caused unnecessary confusion.

On May 8th, Jennifer Combs was arrested and charged with felony false alarm or report.

She spent the night in jail. She had never had so much as a speeding ticket before.

Two weeks after her arrest, the City of Trinidad issued an emergency boil water notice.

The mayor confirmed to reporters that the city's water pipes date back to the 1950s. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality confirmed it had received a complaint and that an investigation was ongoing.

Combs has filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad, the police chief, and several other officials, alleging her arrest was an act of deliberate political retaliation.

Her attorney's statement to the court read: "The City of Trinidad has become a cautionary tale of what happens when unchecked ego masquerades as governance."

The felony charge is still pending.

Thank you Jennifer Combs
