In this section of his speech, Trump is lying about the intelligence community's findings about China's actions in the 2020 election. This is the actual IC finding, declassified in 2021. www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...
Key Judgment 4: We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment. China sought stability in its relationship with the United States, did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk getting caught meddling, and assessed its traditional influence tools—primarily targeted economic measures and lobbying—would be sufficient to meet its goal of shaping US China policy regardless of the winner. The NIO for Cyber assesses, however, that China did take some steps to try to undermine
former President Trump’s reelection.

And here is the CENTCOM report that lists 1,700 targets truck in first 72 hours, which also corroborates. If Grok was used for 2,000 in the first 96 hours, then it had to be the technology that was responsible for the strike on the school. Let's stop talking about algae, this is a scandal.

Yesterday, #SCOTUS summarily reversed the three-judge district court in the Texas redistricting case "for the reasons set forth" back when it granted emergency relief last December. Besides its novelty, the ruling also puts the lie to the effort to describe grants of emergency relief as "interim":

223. The Revealing Summary Reversal in LULAC
Monday's one-paragraph order in the Texas redistricting case is both a procedural anomaly and a sharp rejoinder to those who still use the "interim" label to refer to the emergency docket.

@soigomaa
In the 1800s, a woman engineered a heating system for freezing train cars. She wasn't allowed to patent it under her own name because the law said women couldn't hold patents. Her husband signed for her.
Decades later, Ford stole her idea and it became a transport standard. Today every car, truck, train, and airplane on Earth uses her technology. In 2020, she was named one of the top ten women patent holders in history. 108 years after she died. Her name was Margaret A. Wilcox. And almost no one has ever heard of her.....

Fort Bragg is named for Braxton Bragg — a literal traitor who had been in the U.S. Army, enslaved more than 100 people, and became a Confederate general. Trump just bragged ... about renaming the base Fort Bragg (from Fort Liberty) b/c ... you know, ending woke. And, the racism.
washingtonpost.com
Who was Fort Bragg named after? The South’s worst, most hated general.
Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis say they would restore the Fort Bragg name if elected. Its namesake was a “merciless tyrant” who helped lose the Civil War.
