Santos declares it all a "witch hunt".

I suspect he is a witch then.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Obviously the Santos and Trump timings are to deflect from the transgender bathroom and sports issues ravaging America.

I think most of us would rather hear about the transgender and gun issues.

Lady making money didn’t mean for it to engage in sexually explicit conversations. Personally, seems dumb to kill that part of it? $1 a minute? I never could see any value in payed conversational telephone lines, much less the modern version.

According to CarynAI's website, more than 2,000 hours were spent designing and coding the real-life Marjorie's voice, behaviors, and personality into an "immersive AI experience," which it says is available anytime and feels as if "you're talking directly to Caryn herself."

CarynAI already has more than 1,000 paying subscribers, and Marjorie told Fortune that she believes it could eventually bring in $5 million a month, based on 20,000 of her 1.8 million Snapchat followers signing up for the service.

"Being the first influencer to do this allowed me to price my product at whatever I wanted," she said of the $ 1-a-minute fee. "The cost is based on what it takes to run CarynAI and keep the team around it supported."

California facing a $32 billion dollar budget deficit. If history holds expect them to play a few games this year to make it by but then next year they cannot do so and it might be twice as much. Expect them to raise taxes.

Guess that means reparations be off the table this year.

Report comes a year after Newsom lied about a $97 billion surplus in 2022. A $128 billion reversal in one year.

Current California State and Local liabilities total $1.6 trillion.

Cracks starting as the tax base flees the mess they voted for.

If this is the actual Marine Manual teaching, I think the ex-marine in the Neely choke-hold case is going to have a tough time defending himself without proving an actual attack first.

Quote:
The Marine Corps' MCMAP manual says that "when executed properly, a blood choke takes between 8 to 13 seconds for the aggressor to lose consciousness."
