Trump tells a female reporter to be ‘quiet piggy’ while on AF1 Trump jabbed his finger at the reporter as he told her to be ‘Quiet, Piggy,’ before admitting to journalists that he had made a secret decision on his plans for Venezuela

If President Joe Biden had said anything so crass and out of line, EVERY REPUBLICAN would be demanding his resignation.

Most major news outlets in this country haven't even covered this disturbing comment from Trump. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Google boss says trillion-dollar AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality' In an exclusive BBC interview, Sundar Pichai hailed artificial intelligence as an "extraordinary moment" but said no company would be immune if bubble burst.

AI is grossly inflated, but it's the only sector that is in the positive, due to that false inflation.

The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

That is part of the story. The other, equally disgraceful part is that the country's most important newspaper saw fit to publish an even more fawning apologia for this "journalist" who has betrayed our profession to the utmost degree

The real question we need to be asking

Why’s the president with horribly low approval numbers so determined to fill the states that oppose him with military who will be used against the people in those states?

He’s working really, really hard to turn the military against the people who oppose him.

Few people enjoy the gloom that comes with winter in the world’s higher latitudes. For those that suffer from seasonal affective disorder, the light at the end of the tunnel may shine out of a lamp econ.st/43urQLj

Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace.

Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed.

The Pentagon just stripped reporters of their credentials for refusing to sign a policy over its "implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting." It’s a direct strike at the free press. Democracy is in danger when the government controls who can ask questions.
