Blogscom'on punk, make my day if I can remember the date.....US House and Senate lawmakers have raised alarm bells about the potential use of artificial intelligence in America’s nuclear arsenal, arguing that the technology must not be put in a position to fire off warheads on its own. A group of three Democrats and one Republican introduced a bill that calls for banning AI from being used in a way that could lead to it launching nuclear weapons. If enacted, the legislation would codify a current Pentagon policy that requires a human to be “in the loop” on any launch decisions.
tell me sweet nothings while we dance like swamp gas flames, above the stench of the empire.....
Australia has been paying insiders of the U.S. war machine for consultation on how to run the nation’s military, a massive conflict of interest given that Washington has been grooming Australia for a role in its war agendas against China. In its article “Retired U.S. admirals charging Australian taxpayers thousands of dollars per day as defence consultants,” the ABC reports that, according to documents the Pentagon provided Congress last month, “dozens of retired U.S. military figures have been granted approval to work for Australia since 2012.”
of debt, of deficit and trade surplus......In recent years, commencing in the pre-COVID period, Australia’s balance of payments has consistently recorded a surplus on the current account. This has confounded some commentators, especially those who followed the compelling ‘debt and deficit’ (and especially the ‘twin deficits’) narrative that emerged in the mid-1980s. Does it mean that that narrative should no longer haunt Australian policy makers? Or is there something even more concerning at play? Australia’s remarkable current account surplusBy Ken Henry Some important concepts
the planet and the climate have an argument about the cost and the season of flowers.....(SIR PETER. Lady Teazle, Lady Teazle, I'll not bear it! LADY TEAZLE. Sir Peter, Sir Peter, you may bear it or not), as you please: but I ought to have my own way in everything, and what's more I will too — what! tho' I was educated in the country I know very well that women of Fashion in London are accountable to nobody after they are married.

the old demented folks at the home for old demented folks were passing time before bedtime...U.S. Argues For More Protectionism And Subsidies Last week Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen gave a speech on the U.S.-China economic relationship. I called it a declaration of war. Yesterday National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan held a speech on 'Renewing American Economic Leadership' which touched on some of the same themes as Yellen's speech.
the nuthouse is run by inmates, while the retirement village (the white house) is serving leftovers....Two US Congressmen who sit on a bureaucratic relic of the Cold War have introduced the "Ukraine Victory Resolution" in the House of Representatives calling for the United States to support an outright victory for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. After the presentation of the resolution, it must then be approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee and then put to a vote in Congress, both at the House of Representatives and the Senate level, before becoming law.
consolation prizes: killing civilians and burning bridges while demolishing buildings during retreat....Ukrainian shelling has left nine civilians dead and more than a dozen injured in the Russian city of Donetsk, according to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) monitoring group. Residential areas were hit by fire from multiple rocket launchers, with a passenger bus being destroyed and a local hospital suffering damage. “Today, the central districts of the capital of the republic were subjected to another brutal shelling by the armed units of Ukraine,” Denis Pushilin, the interim head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), wrote in a Telegram post. According to the official, Ukrainian forces targeted a local hospital, an urban park, and several residential buildings.

IT'S APPROACHING ELECTION DAY 2020... THE MURDOCH PAPER, THE TOILET SHEET CALLED THE NEW YORK POST, GETS AN EXCLUSIVE ABOUT A CERTAIN LAPTOP BELONGING TO HUNTER BIDEN, THE SON OF JOE-THE-DECREPIT... LOOKING BACK, IT SMELLS LIKE A ROTTEN PLANT. THE "LEAK" WHEREVER IT COMES FROM, IS BLESSED BY THE FBI. WHY? BY NOW WE KNOW THAT THE FBI HAD HELD THIS LAPTOP SINCE 2019 AND DID BUGGER ALL ABOUT IT. THE LAPTOP CONTAINS EXPLOSIVE UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE THAT BIDEN-THE-FORGETABLE WAS, IS AND WILL BE CORRUPT (THOUGH THESE DAYS HE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING).

blowing a whistle while chasing the criminals.....The term whistleblower is thought to originate from Victorian England, where, when a crime was committed, the policemen would blow a whistle while chasing the criminals to alert the public of the crime. Today, much like those historic figures, modern whistleblowers who spot misconduct “blow the whistle” and alert the public of the threat. The whistleblower acts as an early warning signal and defense mechanism of the common good.[1]

the teleprompter got shamelessly or shamefully confused, unless it was willingly taking us for fools....In my [Marc A. Thiessen's] last column, I listed the 10 best things President Biden did in his first year in office. Here are the 10 worst (winnowing this list down to just 10 entries was extremely difficult):
plato got it all wrong. we’re a bunch of successful glorified bastards….You remember that fancy of Plato's, of a man who had grown to maturity in some dark distance, and was brought on a sudden into the upper air to see the sun rise. What would his wonder be, his rapt astonishment at the sight we daily witness with indifference! With the free open sense of a child, yet with the ripe faculty of a man, his whole heart would be kindled by that sight, he would discern it well to be Godlike, his soul would fall down in worship before it.

silencing tucker... replacing tucker....Tucker Carlson is out as primetime host on Fox News, this despite consistently pulling in a larger audience than any other cable news show. And one other area Carlson truly stood out is in giving a platform to voices on the left who would criticize the US proxy war against Russia, decry sanctions against Venezuela and call out government lies about chemical attacks in Syria. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to special guest Jimmy Dore about the comparative dearth of critical voices on issues like Ukraine, Syria and Venezuela in the “liberal” news channels.
