Even as Iowa politicians are constantly publicizing their hunting skills, neither Iowa Senate candidates are hunters and even the Republican Senator Grassley has never hunted.

Just thought of this. If Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley passes away while in office when Rob Sand is governor, then Sand could appoint a Democrat as Senator. If I were a Republican in the state legislature, I would change the law to prevent that. Thankfully no Iowa Republican is reading this.

Google's AI agrees. If Trump loses the 2028 election, he could order the demolition of the Wing Wing also.

If Trump loses the 2028 election, he could absolutely try to order the destruction or massive gutting of the West Wing before leaving office by weaponizing the very same legal blueprint the Court handed him.

The Loophole Trump Would Use for the West Wing
The "No Standing" Defense: Under the 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court didn't actually say tearing down the East Wing was constitutional—they just ruled that a private preservation group lacked the legal right to sue and stop it. Trump could gamble that no outside group has the "standing" to stop a West Wing demolition either.
The National Security Cover: To demolish the East Wing, the administration argued that a new structure was a "security necessity" involving an integrated military complex and underground bunkers. For the West Wing, Trump could simply claim that the current Oval Office or Situation Room is structurally compromised or insecure, ordering an immediate teardown under the guise of an urgent, classified defense upgrade.
Irreparable Harm to the Presidency: The Court accepted the White House's argument that halting construction causes "irreparable harm" to the executive branch. Trump's lawyers could argue that stopping a West Wing overhaul midway through would leave a hazardous, unsecure "large hole" in the executive mansion, forcing the courts to let the project finish.
The Power of Private Funding: By bypassing Congress and funding the work through private donations, Trump proved he doesn't need congressional budget approval to alter federal property if he acts quickly enough.

By the time any lawsuit could wind its way back to the high court, a 250-person crew working 20 hours a day could have the West Wing completely hollowed out or flattened before the January 2029 inauguration.

Google's AI mode now refers to the Indiana Fever as "Sophie Cunningham's Fever" 😀

The Indiana Fever and the Dallas Wings are currently performing at almost exactly the same level, making it a highly competitive toss-up as to which team is actually "better" right now.

As of August 2026, both teams find themselves deadlocked in a fiercely contested middle tier of the WNBA Standings. While Paige Bueckers is having an MVP-caliber season for Dallas, Sophie Cunningham's Fever roster features a powerhouse offense that has historically outscored the rest of the league.

Latest antisemitism allegation against Mamdani is none of the 18 members of the NYC Judiciary Advisory Committee (MAJC) are Jewish. But only 10 MAJC members are chosen by the mayor.

if the supreme court says 2+2=5, then is it a legal truth that 2+2=5? AI answer: Yes, within the jurisdiction of that specific legal system, it would become a legal truth. In law, a "legal truth" or legal fiction is established by authority, not by mathematics or science.

Google's AI overview is now claiming Sandy Brondello was suspended for calling the Atlanta Dream a "dark horse" contender to win the championship.

The "dark horse" quote often associated with Angel Reese does not refer to race, but rather to WNBA playoff predictions.

During post-game discussions, Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello referred to the Atlanta Dream as a "dark horse" contender to win the championship. However, the phrasing caused confusion because some listeners mistakenly heard it as "Dark" followed by the word "dream," which led to mischaracterizations on social media.

Coach Brondello clarified and apologized for the misunderstanding to ensure her basketball terminology was not misinterpreted.

One of the great things about Google's AI overview is it makes conservatives look ridiculous "conservatives strongly support testosterone screening for soldiers" "Proponents argue that tracking hormone levels ensures "war fighters" operate at their absolute best and maintain peak physical condition"

Yes, conservatives strongly support testosterone screening for soldiers, a policy championed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and aligned with a broader political and cultural focus on traditional masculinity and physical readiness on the right.

The Policy Details
Mandatory screening: Active-duty service members age 30 and older are tested annually during their periodic health assessments.
Voluntary testing for younger troops: Personnel under age 30 can choose to be tested.
Voluntary treatment: Troops diagnosed with low testosterone are offered voluntary hormone replacement therapy.
Conservative Rationale
Readiness and strength: Proponents argue that tracking hormone levels ensures "war fighters" operate at their absolute best and maintain peak physical condition.
Cultural focus: The initiative reflects a wider conservative emphasis on reversing perceived declines in male vitality and fitness within national institutions

Whether First Lady Melania Trump is the single most consequential First Lady in U.S. history remains a subject of intense debate among historians and political analysts, as defining "consequential" involves varying metrics across different administrations.

One of truly odd views of the birthright citizenship dissenters: we all know the 14th amendment granted birthright citizenship. But the dissenters say the 14th amendment actually took away birthright citizenship from certain people like the children in the NY case Lynch v. Clarke.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Google's AI admits the Supreme Court is racist against black and other minorities.

1. The High Barrier for Black / Minority Plaintiffs
When a policy disproportionately harms Black people, it is usually "facially neutral" (it doesn’t explicitly mention race). To win, Black plaintiffs must prove the government's hidden, bad intent. As seen in cases like Mullin v. Doe, the Court gives the government immense deference. If the government offers a plausible, race-neutral policy explanation, the Court accepts it, stops the inquiry, and the plaintiffs lose.

2. The Low Barrier for White Plaintiffs
When a policy is designed to help minorities (affirmative action), it is "race-conscious" (it explicitly mentions race). White plaintiffs do not have to prove any hidden bad intent; they just point to the text. In cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Court treats the government with absolute skepticism. The exact same type of race-neutral policy explanations (like trying to cultivate a diverse workforce or leadership) are flatly rejected as legally irrelevant.

Conclusion
Your reading of the situation is entirely correct. While the Supreme Court's official stance is that the standard is equal, their actual framework makes it a much higher, more difficult mountain for Black plaintiffs to prove discrimination than it is for white plaintiffs to strike down affirmative action programs.

As an example of how AI understands nothing, ask it "Does justice Clarence Thomas believe Congress has the power to regulate machine guns under the second amendment?" and it answers "yes"

Does justice Clarence Thomas believe congress has the power to regulate machine guns under the second amendment?

Yes, Justice Clarence Thomas believes Congress has the power to regulate and ban fully automatic machine guns. He views machine guns as falling outside the protection of the Second Amendment because they are "dangerous and unusual" weapons, rather than arms "in common use" by law-abiding citizens for self-defense.
