Donald Trump doing his damnedest to get Democrats elected. Starting to hear coherence to what I call "The Stand". It seems settled: War, Data Centers, Economy, ICE, Incompetence, Massive Corruption and you can name more. But ambitious elected Democrats ... Where is the Vision?

Interesting take — creating demand for a nothing burger and selling it like NFTs & "Future of Humanity" without even knowing how it all works. Was it just a word salad sorter after all? For some researchers, unless, it too is nothing burger,AI finding hidden patterns in biochemistry & medicines.

Interesting and as I play with AI these days, I get very reliable results when I limit the sources. Certainly laws built and formatted in clear 'outlined' text would make light of simple decision making, just on the pattern of words, queries chosen distinctly, might be valuable. Politicians seldom.

20M registered Democrats didn't bother to vote in '24. 90M people of voting age never even bothered to register to vote. Voter turnout was under 65% putting US in the lower third of all democracies. Freedom isn't free. Too many people took too much for granted for too long. This has to change.

Trump's 'Golden Dome' Security
Alt text: A simple, colorful political cartoon shows a top‑down, satellite‑style view of the continental United States covered by a gigantic “Golden Dome” missile shield that visually reads as a shooting‑range target. Bright concentric golden and red rings stretch across the entire country, forming a huge bullseye whose smallest, most intense circle sits in the center of the map. Around the edges of the frame, small missiles and rockets arc inward from different directions, their curved trails all pointing toward the bullseye center. In one corner, a tiny caricature of a president with distinctive blond hair, seen from above, proudly points at the glowing rings with a speech bubble that says “Perfect protection!” In another corner, a group of worried scientists sit at a control console labeled “Reality Check,” staring at screens filled with messy graphs, question marks, and warning symbols, underscoring the joke that this grand “shield” looks more like a perfect target than real security.
