BREAKING: President Trump says he and China's President Xi have agreed to rename Artificial Intelligence to "Super
Intelligence."

Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be "SUPER!" Everyone last night agreed, also. President DJT

TIL Nichelle Nichols was to quit Star Trek - to return to musical theatre - til Martin Luther King told her: “You cannot. When we see you, we see ourselves as intelligent and beautiful and proud. They cannot destroy us because we are there in the 23rd century.” www.startrek.com/en-un/news/n...

Why are people saying this. Elites have *always* demanded freedoms they would deny to ordinary people.

Twice divorced Richard Tice, currently in a relationship with a divorcee, speaking for a party led by twice-divorced Farage, tells us unmarried people should be deprioritised for social housing. above a picture of an Independent newspaper headline

“'Remember, my heart. Story-time is different from clock-time.’ “Clock-time, however punctual it may purport to be, is distorted and deceptive. It runs under the illusion that everything is moving steadily forward, and the future, therefore, will always be better than the past. +

Hatred is a poison served in 3 cups. 1st: when people despise those they desire - because they want to have them in their possession. It’s hubris! 2nd: when people loathe those they do not understand. It's fear! 3rd: when people hate those they have hurt. Elif Shafak: There Are Rivers In The Sky

'Why so much hatred towards us?
'Hatred is a poison served in three cups. The first is when people despise those they desire - because they want to have them in their possession. It's all out of hubris! The second is when people loathe those they do not understand. It's all out of fear! Then there is the third kind - when people hate those they have hurt."
'But why?'
'Because the tree remembers what the axe forgets."
'What does that mean?'
'It means it's not the harmer who bears the scars, but the one who has been harmed. For us, memory is all we have. If you want to know who you are, you need to learn the stories of your ancestors. Since time immemorial, the Yazidis have been mis-understood, maligned, mistreated. Ours is a history of pain and persecution. Seventy-two times we have been massacred. The Tigris turned red with our blood, the soil dried up with our grief”

Is George Cottrell a person with “significant influence or control” over Reform Party Limited? His mother channeled a third of the company’s income, and he’s regularly consulted by the company’s owner.

Screen shot of www.gov.uk saying “3.3 A person would exercise “significant influence or control” if:

a. they are significantly involved in the management and direction of the company. For example:

A person, who is not a member of the board of directors, but regularly or consistently directs or influences a significant section of the board. Or a person who is regularly consulted on board decisions and whose views influence decisions made by the board.”

Mahmood’s officials order young children of legal residents to leave UK.

Photo of Metro newspaper “In Brief” column. A cartoon shows a dark-skinned woman in a yellow dress and shows. She is heavily pregnant and holding her belly. A white man in a blue suit, next to a briefcase on the floor marked “Home Office” is bent over, pointing at her belly and saying “YOU IN THERE. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.”
Next to it is an article reading:
“Kids told to leave in bid to 'restore order’
CHILDREN as young as five have been ordered to leave Britain despite their mums or dads having permission to remain.
The parents are here on care worker visas which - until March
2024 - allowed them to have partners or children with them, The Guardian reports.
The Home Office said: We will always welcome those who contribute to this country. But we must restore order and control to our borders.”

True tragedy: anti-Trump Republicans don’t acknowledge that the Republican Party chose Trump, 3 x, he depends on Repub judges, senators & representatives for his power - let alone WHY it is Repubs who created his violently corrupt regime.
