Here's Claudia Sheinbaum hanging out of a window of her unarmored car shaking hands and hugging people. She's a lot of things, including incredibly popular (70% approval), but scared isn't one of them.

OK, I don't use AI to write, but I was writing a post where I made the point that Talarico looks like pretty much any minister from years back. So I asked Gemini to create a side-by-side headshot of Talarico and a younger Kenneth Copeland. Utter fail, had to use Photoshop:

Since we're counting, 8 mentions in 4 graphs. He wrote the book that launched the "movement". I agree with Pitchbot that there are some good things in the book Abundance, but the word has been co-opted by rich donors to stand for an anti-regulation agenda.

With all the talk about the Pope and AI, I want to share this picture I took at the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe a couple of months ago. It's "Juanito", an AI agent who will answer all of your questions about the apparition of the Virgin.

There's no situation that three large men demanding something can't make worse. Case in point, the evacuation of the Frontier flight that hit a person in Denver Friday night: coloradosun.com/2026/05/11/f...
Three large men insisted the evacuation occur, pushing past a flight attendant and going down a slide before it had fully deployed — causing it to deflate and become unusable.

This guy pays millions to media consultants and his press conference graphics look like someone just ran to Kinko's and whipped up a sign. Every day the President of Mexico has a two hour (minimum) press conference and the graphics are dialed in. Democrats need to hire Claudia's media people:

I unintentionally ended up writing another piece on how Mexico is combatting measles. This is a graph from a recent press conference. The state of Chihuahua has 3.7 million residents. 1.8 million vaccinations were used to stop the outbreak there. There's nothing like this happening in the US.

There were floods in Alaska Sunday. Has Trump even mentioned them? There were floods in Mexico last week. Here are some of many pix from Claudia Sheinbaum's Insta. This is the difference between striving for greatness and clinging to its last remnants.

The Israeli agent who was caught up in a sting of men attempting to lure children to perform sex acts via the Internet is getting a lot of attention. But, no surprise, that sting also caught a pastor at a local church. Here are some of that church's beliefs about the role of women:
[…] While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture. […]

The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.

About Trump's plane/bribe: Mexico once had a luxurious presidential jet. When Morena won in 2018, AMLO put it up for sale. Proceeds were used to build two hospitals. Here's Claudia Sheinbaum in Oaxaca for the opening of one of them. This is how you do it, Dems take note. BTW-she flies commercial.

Something to remember on No Kings day. A couple of assholes doing something stupid doesn't invalidate the protest of thousands or millions.
Two AOC Tweets:

It is 100%  carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.  

They are in charge.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.  

ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Let's start there.

Remember that Tesla is on the S&P 500 index and one negative quarter gets you de-listed. I'm sure there are many, many tricks that Musk's accountants can play, but they had to play one this quarter: (From electrek.co/2025/04/22/t... )
After the market closed today, Tesla released its financial results for the first quarter and confirmed that it missed expectations with earnings of $0.27 per share (non-GAAP), and it also missed revenue expectations with $19.335 billion during the last quarter.
This is a big miss for Tesla despite the company admitting to selling a lot more regulatory credits this quarter.
At $595 million in credit sales, Tesla would have lost money without it in Q1 2025:
