Here’s a question I asked on the search site bing: “Did FEMA spend millions to take care of migrants?” and here’s the answer I got below. Seems to me the answer is, “They sure did! Guilty as charged!” Is it time for regime change in America? Sure is, way past time to dump the democrats in the garbage where they belong. Trump/Vance 2024.

“In fact, the Shelter and Services Program administered by FEMA in partnership with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has spent more than $1 billion on noncitizen migrant resettlement and other services over the past two years, according to FEMA's website.”

Nothing to worry about Steve & Seva. The vast, vast majority of voters are way past the point of placing faith in government pronouncements ["no FEMA money was spent on housing for illegal immigrants"].... and/or mainstream media whitewashes ["Helene victims are overjoyed with the Biden/Harris response"]. It's over. The bad guys lost the 2024 election. The only question left is: how much mischief will they cause between November 6th and January 20th?

[For Fun: Go to YouTube and re-watch Margaret Brennan trying to cut off Vance's response to her "fact check" by frantically waving her right hand at O'Donnell....no one in their right mind will ever take either one of these ding-a-lings seriously again]......

Walz is only 60 yet could easily pass for 75. He looks old, dumpy and not very bright and that was confirmed in the debate with Vance when he called himself a “knucklehead” yet most democrats immediately claimed Walz won the debate. We really do exist in an entirely different reality with these people which means we have no common truth or even a common understanding of common sense. Hope springs eternal as does wishful thinking. It’s hard to see how we can ever again have a functional country with “fellow Americans” like this. My hope is that AI will soon be advanced enough to save our sinking ship and there is good reason for this hope. Even Elon says he’s never seen a technology move as fast as AI.

You're probably right about the 'eternal divide.' But it'll be okay if the breakdown roughly favors MAGA 60%/40% ...... which I think is about where things stand..... [even if it's 55%/45% things will work out just fine].

You're mostly on the money about the chances of any 2024 candidate's ability to persuade voters 'on the other side', though. Maybe the answer lies in what a great trial attorney told me a long time ago, "you can't win the jury over by building taller & taller mountains of evidence...you have to somehow get them to step back & see the case through your eyes."

“you have to somehow get them to step back & see the case through your eyes."

How is that possible though when we no longer even have a common reality? Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? I recently saw a video which said the Woke have “pathological compassion.” They put Goodness above Truth (objective reality) and their Goodness is synonymous with Equal Outcomes and this feeling goes all the way down to the core of their being which makes it a religious value rather than just an ideological preference.

This is why they will not accept judging people as individuals. They know judging people as individuals leads to unequal group outcomes which is totally unacceptable to them. Equity though is basically a recipe for tribalism and tribal warfare. An impossible situation. My hope is that Fate will intervene in our behalf to speed up AI, to speed up this “emergence phenomenon” driving AI where complexity emerges from simplicity. The universe is a dream in the mind of God who also infinitely transcends his creation so in fact the spiritual could intervene in the material realm to help us. At least that’s how it all seems to me.

“Infinite and finite, complex and simple, He is nature above nature, being above being. Maker of all, he is made in all, Unmoving, he enters the world, Timeless in time, unlimited in limited space, And he who is no thing becomes all things.” Eriugena, medieval theologian.

Dr Alan Thompson is an Australian AI researcher who’s being interviewed in this video about this latest model that’s so advanced its limits can’t even be tested since it aces the hardest test questions in pretty much all areas. He says it can think, reason and has increased self-awareness. At about the 39:30 min point in the video he says “This is not just a tool. Artificial Intelligence is so much more. This is literally bringing a new form of intelligence, smarter than humans, to life.” I do hope Trump wins the election but even if we do our society is far too fragmented to function as a country. Only AI is powerful enough to alter our present path which is very rapidly taking us to the abyss. This is the only bright spot I see in our future but it is a very bright spot and rapidly getting brighter. The best of times. The worst of times.

“Vladimir Ilych Lenin reportedly once said that ‘there are decades in which nothing happens and there are weeks in which decades happen.’” We are now in the midst of such weeks. Time is moving faster and faster. We will soon see what fate has in store for us.

Here’s an excellent video of Rep. Massie trying, and failing, to get some answers from a government official about FBI involvement in the Jan 6 “Insurrection!” A very good example of why I so totally distrust the despicable Democratic Party, their media, and our “fellow Americans” who support this monstrosity that has ruined our once great nation with their open borders, demonization of “Whiteness!” and their war on meritocracy which is being replaced with Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes. Excerpts below are from the description of the video. Trust is an essential ingredient for the cohesion of a country and ours is gone. Check out the comments on the video.

“Rep. Thomas Massie accused Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday of lying during a House Judiciary Committee hearing about his knowledge of federal law enforcement activities during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.”

“Massie (R-Ky.) previously tangled with Garland in October 2021 over the same issue, questioning whether undercover FBI agents were present at the storming of the Capitol.”

“Breaking: DOJ report shows FBI field sources stormed the Capitol on January 6th.”
