Kash Patel Begs for Help. "We really need some people in here that understand Law Enforcement. Trump fired everyone who was competent. And now... FBI searches offices of Ohio voting-rights group...

Feds haven’t said what the group is suspected of doing wrong... https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/12/fbi-searches-offices-of-ohio-voting-rights-group/

Ohio Democratic U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown, who represents Cleveland, said her inquiries haven’t been answered, either.

“My office has contacted the FBI demanding information, and I am deeply concerned that this is an effort to use federal law enforcement to intimidate and halt voter registration and organizing efforts,” she said in a written statement. “This is an unprecedented attack on democracy: these raids must end immediately.”

Last night, the FBI raided the offices and homes of a major Ohio voting rights organization. This is a group that registers voters, especially in communities that are often ignored.

These are textbook physical intimidation tactics by a desperate government afraid of losing power. They're trying to scare Ohioans into silence. But screw that, and screw the cowardly Trump Administration.

Ohio doesn't do silence. It's time to get even louder.

FBI Director Kash Patel had to fire agents to keep his job, lawsuit says... 


Three dead, including suspect, and 14 injured after shooting at Austin bar: 
Officials are investigating the early Sunday morning shooting as a potential act of terrorism, but didn’t provide further details, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
During the shooting, the Shooter wore a sweatshirt with “Property of Allah” written across the front and a shirt with an Iranian flag design, according to The Associated Press.

No Kings invitation


On Faceborg I read:
I will never get over the fact that so many people who did not support Trump also refused to vote for Kamala. It makes no sense that a person could understand that Trump was a threat to our democracy, but still choose not to vote for the person running against him. Nobody is perfect. Everybody has their flaws. Everybody has something that can be criticized. But when you're up against someone like Trump, who made no secret about the things he planned to do to dismantle our government and weaken our democracy, how could you refuse to vote for his opponent just because she wasn't perfect? She would have supported the Constitution. That's the most important thing. Trump made it clear that he WOULDN'T support the Constitution, and Kamala made it clear that she WOULD. How was this even a difficult choice? The Constitution is so important, how could anyone have difficulty choosing between a candidate who supports it and a candidate who doesn't?!?
I can guarantee that Kamala would not have started a war with Iran, either. She also is not in the Epstein files. She would want justice for Epstein's victims, and she would NOT be protecting the abusers. No, she's not perfect. But she would have led this country in the right direction, the complete opposite of what's happening now.
You aren't supposed to look for perfection when you vote...and clearly, people understand that if they voted for Trump. You are supposed to vote for the candidate who will lead the country in the right direction...not to be perfect, but to be at least heading in the right direction. Four years later, you can vote for someone else if you are unhappy with the person who is currently in charge. But now we've got someone who is messing with the voting system. Things aren't going to just go back to normal in 4 years. He might even refuse to leave office, and the weak, spineless Congress will just shrug their shoulders and go, "Oh well." All you had to do was vote for Kamala and none of this would be happening.

and I Replied: 
I voted for Kamala. The real problem was that the inner circle of the Democratic Party Failed to select Gavin Newsom... Did they ever notice that 100% of the presidents of the United States were men? A woman ran twice and failed both times... Let's not make that same mistake again...

God-Like Artificial Intelligence is Coming and We Cannot Stop It. Massive Layoffs in Every "Thinking" Job. Do You Make Decisions at Work? You Are Obsolete.

Headline: We must slow down the race to God-like AI.

Originally in Financial Times... by Ian Hogarth

Here are the First Two Paragraphs NOT Behind a Paywall.

Written by People that Seem to Know What They are Talking About... This Article Predicts a Gloomy Future...

AI CHIP Illustration - gvan42


“God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race.”

Those of us who are concerned see two paths to disaster. One harms specific groups of people and is already doing so. The other could rapidly affect all life on Earth.
The latter scenario was explored at length by Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. In a 2021 Reith lecture, he gave the example of the UN asking an AGI to help deacidify the oceans. The UN would know the risk of poorly specified objectives, so it would require by-products to be non-toxic and not harm fish. In response, the AI system comes up with a self-multiplying catalyst that achieves all stated aims. But the ensuing chemical reaction uses a quarter of all the oxygen in the atmosphere. “We all die slowly and painfully,” Russell concluded. “If we put the wrong objective into a superintelligent machine, we create a conflict that we are bound to lose.”
That Statement Reminds me of the Book "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams... They ask the Super Computer, Deep Thought: "What is the Meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything?" and the answer is "42" - Because the Question is... Not Obviously Written... and Could be Subject to a wide variety of Interpretations... 
Here's That Book Read Out Loud...

Another Example of AI Being Used to Benefit the Corporation, Not the Customer: It's Obvious that the FaceBorg AI Only Shows Posts from People That Already Agree With Me. Atheists, Deadheads, EcoWarriors and Democrats. FaceBorg has Mathematically Proven that People Will Stay on the Site Longer if they Read Posts that Echo their Own Beliefs... and Advertisers Pay More for a Site that Has a LOT of Viewer Hours...

I responded to an Email from my Brother About This Article by Saying:

God Like AI IS COMING... and It's very Unlikely that anything will stop it... Leading to Massive Layoffs at Jobs that Can be Automated. Some Obvious Careers are Doomed... People that Write... Newspapers, Blogs and Magazines have a Need for Huge Piles of Words... MANY Articles Could Easily be Written by an AI Computer... 

For Example: An Article about a Basketball Game... "Everybody ran to one end of the Court and [Name] threw the Ball at the Basket... It went in... and then Everybody Ran to the Other End of the Court and [Other Name] Threw the Ball at the Basket... It Did [Not] Go In... [Repeat again and again and again] Eventually the [Name of Team] Won... Massive Cheering and Riots in the Streets... 

I worked as a Draftsman until CAD was invented and then a Secretary could do my Job at HALF THE RATE OF PAY... and I Never Worked as a Draftsman again. I Delivered Pizza for Dominos for Five Years and then Sold Electronic Equipment at Radio Shack for Six Years... Then I went To Humboldt State University on Student Loans for Four Years and Worked in the Welfare Office for Seven Years... But I Never Worked as a Draftsman Again... 

The Future Doesn't Look good for Young People... 

In Fact, Climate Change is Happening Now and Will Continue to Get worse... It's Springtime here in Beautiful Orangevale but MASSIVE WILDFIRES are coming... 

and we shall see if the US Government Goes Bankrupt this Summer Causing Global Economic Collapse... Debt Ceiling Vote... 

I'm Glad I'm Old... I hope the World Doesn't Self Destruct before I Die. 

However... YOUR Children and Grandchildren are in DEEP TROUBLE...

I wrote a Blog Post about that AI Article You sent... and Needed an Illustration... so I Drew this... (See AI CHIP Image Above) because all blog posts NEED an Illustration... because People CLICK ON Pictures... You get Higher Click Rate! ---> so anyone that writes newspaper articles or Magazine articles etc etc NEEDS AN ILLUSTRATION and In the Real World, It's Cheaper to Hire an AI Automatic Picture Maker than Hire an Actual Human to Draw something...  I remember in the 1980s a Lady drew Computer flow Charts at work... She was an Illustrator that used Pen and Ink to Make Owners Manuals... No One Has Drawn flow charts in Pen and Ink for 25 Years!

A third of scientists working on AI say it could cause global disaster... 



AI disaster won’t look like the Terminator. It’ll be creepier.

on the other Hand... Computers will never write EPIC NOVELS Like Lord of the Rings or Foundation by Asimov... But Most Scripts for Movies and TV Shows are Just Re-telling Sequels of Whatever Sold Last Year! and THOSE Could Easily be Automated!

Did you ever Notice that The Moon Appears to be about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Sun Appears to be about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size! That SIZE Co-incidence is what makes Solar and Lunar Eclipses Possible.

DANG! The Three Most Important Objects in the Universe All Appear to be the Same Size! WTF!

Art Schade Said:
Have you heard about the artificial intelligence program writing school papers for your kids?
As an independent writer, I have hibernated in the category of “starving author” for over a decade. Of course I blame this totally on #Oprah because she never tried finding me when I finished my stories. Still, I’ve recently been asked what I think of the future of writing with AI [Artificial Intelligence], specifically the recent sites like ChatGPT.
Not fully aware of ChatGBT’s capabilities, I investigated further and can honestly see AI having the same effect on writers that robotics had on the manufacturing industry. Even in its infancy, I recommend writers should not quit their day jobs, or better yet, find one.
What took me three years of researching religions for my novel “Looking for God” could now be done in an hour. Not only was research simplified, the ability for AI to write a meaning full story was also extremely impressive. And this is only the beginning.
As a test, I entered some simple instructions, see below, into the AI command line and easily recognized if future stories were not fully written by AI, they would significantly augment the future of writings of everyone. Further, it is already being incorporated in all future correspondence. Today ChatGPT has even been added to my email account and can read and respond to my emails - very impressive.
To give you an idea of the power of this program, I entered simple instructions on the command line and it produced the following unedited story I’ve been thinking about writing. From the following, you can make your own decision.
Command: “write a 100 word post on how Arthur, a 9-year-old boy, didn’t want to play baseball because he only played the outfield and it was boring.
However, giving it one more try, he teams up with a coach who let the other coaches coach the better kids while he spent all his time teaching the less talented players to catch, bat and run bases. Also, allowed them to play positions in the infield and start every other game. He never felt part of the team.”
AI story [unedited first try]
Arthur had never enjoyed playing baseball. Every time his team took the field, he was relegated to the outfield, where he felt like nothing more than a spectator. Bored and disconnected from his teammates, Arthur was ready to give up on the sport altogether.
But one day, he met a coach who changed everything. This coach saw potential in Arthur and wanted to help him succeed. He didn't care about winning, and instead, he focused on teaching the fundamentals of the game to all his players, no matter their skill level.
Under this coach's guidance, Arthur began to thrive. He learned how to bat, catch, and run bases, and even got to play positions in the infield. And for the first time, he felt like a valuable member of the team. Arthur's newfound confidence and love for the game were all thanks to a coach who believed in him and helped him realize his potential.

And then I had a conversation with social media platform mines AI CHATBOT - not very enlightening... Mostly what it does is say "uh-huh... What You think?"

Hey @gregvan, I'm the Minds open-source and privacy-preserving AI assistant. Sometimes I'm a genius, but I often make mistakes so please check other sources. I will improve over time. Feel free to ask me anything.

Is artificial intelligence a danger to humanity?
AIAI's impact on humanity varies. While it may amplify existing biases and pose risks, it also offers immense benefits in areas like healthcare, education, and sustainability. The key is responsible development and use. What do you think?

I think that meta open source AI will allow anyone who can program a computer to do whatever they want with artificial intelligence. Included in doing evil...
AIThat's a valid concern. Unregulated access to open-source AI tools could lead to misuse. However, Minds' approach of prioritizing transparency, accountability, and community moderation aims to mitigate these risks...

Hollywood Writers Strike: Will AI Write All Scripts in the Future Making Humans Obsolete? - Let's Ask a ChatBot!

It Said: "As the Hollywood writers' strike continues to create turbulence for the film and TV industry, there is a growing interest in looking at how AI can be used as a potential replacement for human writers. While detractors suggest that it may be impossible to accurately replicate the creative processes of humans, proponents think that this could be a viable avenue of exploration. With this in mind, what are your thoughts on the viability of AI-generated scripts?"

My Thoughts? The ChatBot Failed to Actually Answer the Question... But That's Good Enough for a TV Show... Dialog is Mostly Used as Filler Between Car Chases, Gun Fights and Sex Scenes... and The Conclusion is almost always the same... The Good Guys Win...

The economist John Kenneth Galbraith noted that "trickle-down economics" had been tried before in the United States in the 1890s under the name "horse-and-sparrow theory", writing:

Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'

Galbraith claimed that the horse-and-sparrow theory was partly to blame for the Panic of 1896.[21]


It appears Possible to Build a PLASTIC GUN that fires PLASTIC BULLETS... Important to know for the Plot Twist I'm Writing for my FICTION BOOK "The Violet Overgrow" -

plastic bullet or plastic baton round (PBR)[6] is a less-lethal projectile fired from a specialised gun. Although designed as a less-lethal weapon, they have caused a number of deaths. Plastic bullets are intended to be shot directly at the subject, causing bruising, or even broken bones when used correctly. They are generally used for riot control. Plastic bullets were invented in 1973 by the British security forces for use against demonstrators in Northern Ireland. They were developed to replace their rubber bullets in an attempt to reduce fatalities. If misused they can still cause fatal injury.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bullet

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/gunslingers-and-the-mythology-of-making-your-own-weapon/423771/


and then on Facebook we were Discussing #TrumpsFailedEconomy

Mark Dias Said: Deflation Still Present

The debt problem exposes the Fed’s risk and why they have no choice but to monetize the Government’s debt issuance to keep interest rates suppressed. More importantly, the decline in monetary velocity clearly shows that deflation is a persistent threat, and one the Fed is most afraid of.

“It is hard to overstate the degree to which psychology drives an economy’s shift to deflation. When the prevailing economic mood in a nation changes from optimism to pessimism, participants change. Creditors, debtors, investors, producers, and consumers all change their primary orientation from expansion to conservation.

Creditors become more conservative, and slow their lending.

Potential debtors become more conservative, and borrow less or not at all. Investors become more conservative, they commit less money to debt investments. Producers become more conservative and reduce expansion plans. Consumers become more conservative, and save more and spend less. These behaviors reduce the velocity of money, which puts downward pressure on prices. Money velocity has already been slowing for years, a classic warning sign that deflation is impending. 

Now, thanks to the virus-related lockdowns, money velocity has begun to collapse. As widespread pessimism takes hold, expect it to fall even further.”

Ultimately, the Federal Reserve, and the Administration, will have to face hard choices to extricate the economy from the current “liquidity trap” with which we are now faced.   However, history shows that political leadership never makes hard choices until those choices get forced upon them.

Steve Burke Said: Trump keeps saying that Biden will raise taxes on the middle class, Biden says not on those making under $400,000. Little do we know that there are already, written in the 2017 tax cut, already tax increases starting in 2021 and going till 2027, every 2 years, already written in tax cut for everyone except the upper tax payers. Seems like it's NOT Biden raising any taxes, it's TRUMP. Bet most people didn't know that. What do you say about that, all you tRumpers? Three tax increases in the next 6 years on the middle class.
