What do you think about this judge .
Arthropic AI usage by Pentagon demanded it couldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapon systems. So all their federal contracts were cancelled and company was labelled a supply chain risk.

A judge now wants to control the technology Pentagon needs to use.
Most of the targets being hit in Iran are being identified through AI. Massive data from satellites, human and signal intelligence, CCTV, everything is fed to AI which analyses everything in minutes , a job that usually took thousands of analysts several days.

Democrats and liberals

Then liberals accuse conservatives of being pdfs. Why they want kids to access that rubbish?
Granted kids will still watch , but there should be severe limitations.
Like I've said before liberals want kids to be sexually aware when they can hardly make a decision by themselves. Leaving them wide open to exploitation by adults attracted to minors.

The pro Russians still haven't realized that Trump, an American president is their saving grace. I can't wait for Trump's term to end.
Many here don't realize that Brussels , WEF and Joe Biden were the main instigators of Russia invasion. Trump is willing to let both save face and stop the unnecessary deaths.
Those belligerents I named won't admit they were wrong so they will double down and fund the war until Putin is removed by his own people. A pipe dream.. While they are funding the war , they are getting kickbacks from Zelensky. Which is why he is very arrogant demanding more and more including billions to pay the Ukraine govt , pensions and other social projects while he is also buying luxury homes abroad. He seems to have blackmail material on a number of foreign leaders .

On a personal note I have railed against the globalists, the EU, WEF and liberals. In particular I think the EU should be dismantled and reduced into an economic block not a political bureau overriding national jurisdictions.

America is asking Zelensky to withdraw from Donbass if he wants security guarantees.
Zelensky wants to know
1. who will fund Ukraine military purchase of weapons to defend itself in the future

2. How will the allies respond in case of further aggression.

Zelensky can't dislodge Russia from the region it occupies. I believe the battle is now more or less at a stalemate with little gains from any side.
America said Ukraine troops mastered how to operate the Patriot air defense systems much faster than Americans themselves.
Ukraine drone technology both offensive and defensive is now world class.
Putins objectives are more or Jess achieved.
Ukraine won't be joining NATO , maybe EU ever. ( Iran may have broken up NATO) .
Ukraine shale oil and gas in the east is now under Russia hands .
Russia has market for it's oil and gas that is not wholly dependent on European market.

In other news America intelligence had as from 2022, Intel about Ukraine wanting to fund Joe Biden campaign. By starting a project in America, committing funds then funneling the money to Biden campaign after declaring the company moribund. Basically aid to Ukraine getting kicked back to Joe Biden. Biden and the Brussels incited this war . They wanted Ukraine in the EU , so that they can control it's economy , similar to the 27 countries in the bloc. With the war , they stupidly thought they could replicate how Reagan broke up the USSR. By arming the Taliban and launching the Strategic Defence Initiative. ( Space Shield).

There you go again.

How does your question negate the facts about the transatlantic slave system that systematically enslaved our forefathers?

Slavery in its entirety isn’t acceptable. So if my body tells me to highlight that which was perpetrated by the white Europeans, why does it bother you?

Tomorrow I can and will focus on that being perpetrated by Arabs.
Mauritania still has slavery today. Poor blacks work for Arabs for free . Habit is passed from mother to child.
In resolution passed Argentina may have rejected it, their black population no longer exist,they are accused of waving wars with the shaves as the Frontline infantry.
With America ,Probably saw it as another attempt to get money, twist history and guilt shame them.

Arabs call black people "abed" which means slave,I can confidently point out that Islam founder denigrated blacks deeming them as slaves with heads like raisins. That attitude exists today.

Slavery was cruel ,many died but those figures pale in comparison to the wanton slaughter of innocents in the medieval and as late as the 20th century warfare.
Behind these demands are usually lawyers looking for a chance to make bank in lawsuits too. It's never about victims .

All these are not as grave as the slave trade

Mongol Conquests (13th century): ~40–60+ million deaths (estimates vary; some say up to 10–15% of world population at the time). Involved mass slaughter, city destructions, and empire-building through terror.
European colonization of the Americas (post-1492): Often cited with 50–100+ million deaths, largely from introduced diseases (smallpox, etc.) plus violence, displacement, and enslavement of Indigenous peoples. This devastated entire civilizations and reshaped global demographics.
World War II (1939–1945): 70–85 million deaths (~3% of world population), including the Holocaust (~6 million Jews systematically murdered in an industrialized genocide, plus millions of others: Roma, disabled, Slavs, etc.). Featured deliberate extermination camps, total war, and atomic bombings.
Maoist China (Great Leap Forward + Cultural Revolution): 40–80+ million deaths from famine, purges, and violence.
Other massive events: Taiping Rebellion (~20–70 million), An Lushan Rebellion (~13–36 million in 8th-century China), World War I (~15–20 million direct + indirect), Stalin's purges and Holodomor, the Armenian Genocide, Cambodian Killing Fields, Rwandan Genocide, etc. Ancient and medieval conquests, plagues exacerbated by war, and other slave trades (e.g., Arab/Islamic slave trade over centuries, with high mortality) add layers.57c89f

To our resident racist defenders, see your people’s stance below.
Let's get some facts straight.
Arabs were mostly the ones who traded slaves.They were the caravan owners .

The top five destinations for enslaved people were often colonial regions rather than modern-day independent countries at the time. Based on data from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, the primary destinations by volume were:
Top 5 Destinations for Enslaved Africans
Brazil (Portuguese Colony/Empire): Approximately 4.9 million people. Brazil received more enslaved Africans than any other single destination, accounting for nearly 40% of the total trade.
British Caribbean: Approximately 2.3 million people. This includes major sugar-producing islands like Jamaica and Barbados.
French Caribbean: Approximately 1.1 million people. The most significant destination was Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti).
Spanish Americas: Approximately 1.3 million people (disembarking in various regions including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and mainland South/Central America).
Dutch Americas: Approximately 500,000 people, primarily to Surinam and the Dutch Antilles

Contrary to common perception, only about 388,000 (roughly 3.6%) of the 10.7 million survivors were transported directly from Africa to North America (the United States).
.


The British and French should be made to pay dearly .
Arab speaking countries on the other hand generally castrated their slaves to prevent their population increasing , they received well over 15 million slaves estimated.
Methinks the role of the Arabs in slave trade should be a separate resolution.
They also captured millions of Europeans as slaves during their wars in Europe.

Biden sends money to Zelensky.Ukraine sends back some of it to his campaign.


Yesterday, the news outlet Just the News reported on newly declassified U.S. intelligence documents that allegedly detailed a 2022 plot by Ukrainian officials to redirect hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer funds to support Joe Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Key Allegations from the Report
The Scheme: The report claims Ukrainian officials discussed using a U.S.-funded clean energy infrastructure project in Ukraine as a cover to route money through complex contracts and U.S.-based subcontractors back to the campaign.
Method: The funds were reportedly meant to be allocated to a project that would later be deemed "unnecessary," making the money difficult to recover once it had been moved.
Status of Investigation: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reportedly requested that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) review records to determine if this plan was ever executed and whether a criminal referral to the FBI is necessary.


Biden DOJ blocks further investigation. Biden didn't know about this I'm sure will be the excuses.
I heard Trump is the most corrupt president somewhere

Pakistan Saves Iran's Top Negotiators From Israeli Strike

Pakistan stepped in to block Israel from assassinating Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, according to a Pakistani official cited by Reuters. Israel had the targets' coordinates locked in and was ready to strike, but Islamabad warned Washington that killing these civilian political figures would leave no one in Tehran left to talk to.

The message was clear: eliminate the last pragmatic voices and hand the regime fully over to hardline IRGC commanders who answer only with rockets and defiance. The US relayed the request, and Israel backed off, pulling the two off the hit list for now.

What irony is this and how short-sighted are religious zealots ? Who knows ,one of the gay people they have hanged in public might have developed the atomic bomb they desperately needed.

Trump has been briefed that the new Ayatollah could be a gay person. He laughed hysterically.

https://nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-news/trump-briefed-that-irans-new-supreme-leader-mojtaba-khamenei-is-probably-gay/

A report 2 weeks ago revealed he had sought treatment 4 times in a UK hospital for infertility.

The sentence for being gay in Iran is death. Many have been hanged in public, so if this is true not propaganda, then some animals are more equal than others in Iran.
Who supports a gay Ayatollah who hoists gay couples on a crane in full public view?
This would never happen in a western society, no matter how much hate you may harbor for them Russia also wouldn't allow this.

Iranian Ayatollahs are cavemen . Their idea of a war with the west was to dig 500 metres into granite mountain so they can store and fire missiles. They spent decades preparing how to block the straits and damage oil economy of it's neighbors. Not to protect their citizens.

GracieX3 is right. It is absurd to deny a people who have lived somewhere for over a thousand years indigene-ship of that place. And this is regardless of if others have lived there before as well. You would not dream of saying that White Americans are not indigenes of America today and yet they have lived there for only about half the time Arabs have lived in Palestine.

Let us take a walk down the demographics of the area through history to understand the issues better.

The history of the matter is that roughly two thousand years ago, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews into diaspora. They went into Persia but mostly into Europe where they suffered much persecution through the middle ages, the renaissance, the enlightenment and all the way through to the 20th century where they suffered the holocaust.

In the intervening time, Islam had arisen in the 7th Century AD, and by the turn of the millennium the crusades had begun in which troupe after troupe of Christian armies generation after generation sought to displace the Muslims from the "Holy Land." This went back and forth over a couple of centuries and the land would alternate between Islamic and Christian authority - all the time retaining a small Jewish population. The long and short of it is that the presence of Arabs in that land dates back at least one thousand years now.

Now, moving on, by the time the second world war ended, I hope you know that the British had made promises to the Jews via Zionists that they would create a homeland for them in Palestine. At that time, the place was mostly occupied by Arabs like I said, for about a thousand years already. It is unreasonable to claim that it was not home to them. Besides, the European Jews who were returning had been so adulterated that one cannot really claim that they are necessarily of the same ancestry as the Israelites of old. Frankly, most of them today are noticeably white.

At the end of the 19th century, the Jewish population in Palestine constituted a small minority, making up about 5-7% of the total population. The majority of the population was Muslim (around 80%) and Christian (around 10%)."

Please look at the table of demographics in the link below which sets out the percentage of population of each group (Muslim, Christian and Jewish) at various points in history.


https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-and-non-jewish-population-of-israel-palestine-1517-present

You will note that -

1. From 1517 to 1882 through the rule of the Ottoman empire, the Jewish population varied from 1.7% to 8%. Thus it is clear that the Jews were a distinct minority throughout that period.

2. By the end of the 1st World War, they had become 9.1%.

3. Throughout the period of the British Mandate they grew from 11 percent in 1922 to 32% in 1937. This was the period of the first wave of significant Zionist migration from Europe, and so it is obvious that the majority of Jews in the land were now migrants from Europe.

But hang on, the evidence gets worse -

4. Between 1947 and 1948 - a period of one year only - the year of the creation of the State of Israel, the percentage of Jews jumped from 32% to a staggering 82% - in ONE year only!

This shows conclusively two things -

a. That the migration from Europe formed almost all of the population of Jews by that time as compared to the negligible percent prior to the British Mandate

b.In the same period of ONE year the poulation of non-Jews fell from 1.3 million people to 156, 000 people!

The foregoing discloses conclusively what had transpired. A mass migration of Europeans had flooded the land and there was a mass evacuation/ removal of non-Jews.

Please note that these figures are from the Jewish Virtual Library, lest you claim they are biased.
