WHY did I not think of this?

I just asked Chat GPT
“Who is the greatest living Jazz musician?”

The FIRST person named… is dead.

So’s the third person on the list.

2,000-plus Pima County kids get free books through Dolly Parton's program Even her biggest fans have trouble choosing Dolly Parton’s greatest hit.

Paula Routly: A Gift From 100+ Women Who Care | Seven Days This year Seven Days received $15,000 from a giving circle called 100+ Women Who Care-Chittenden County. Then publisher Paula Routly joined the generous group.

DEVELOPING: FBI Raids John Bolton’s House In a dawn operation, FBI agents descended on the home of Trump’s former national security advisor.

Really worrisome news today.

Quick, someone tell the House weaponization committee and the DOJ’s Ed Martin that the president is using law enforcement to target his political enemies! www.thebulwark.com/p/developing...

I’m puzzled by the demand by my fellow Democrats that the Epstein files be released.

People who voted for Trump either know who he is (and what he’s done) and love him anyway, OR don’t follow the news.

Either way, I just don’t see Trump being harmed by this info.

What am I missing?
