This one claims $8 million recently paid to influence with left-leaning bias (govt paid propaganda).

But knowing how the fake fact-checkers behave, there are likely some that try to make it look different for the Dem & Rino readers.

So they can continue to be controlled through brainwashing.



"January 6th described as an “insurrection.” While many conservatives view the event as a protest that got out of hand, Politico continues to push the Democratic Party’s preferred framing that it was a “violent coup attempt.”"

USAID, Politico Pro, and the War on Conservative Journalism: A Case Study in Government-Funded Media Bias

02/09/2025

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently uncovered that U.S. government agencies are spending $8 million on subscriptions to Politico Pro, a supposed “nonpartisan” outlet that charges a staggering $12,000 to $15,000 per year per subscriber for its exclusive news content. While defenders argue that the government is simply paying for a service rather than directly subsidizing Politico, the reality is far murkier. When taxpayer money is funneled into a media organization with a demonstrable leftist slant, it ceases to be an independent press and instead becomes an instrument of government-sponsored propaganda.

This brainwashing can be dangerous, like in the case someone unstable realizes they were scammed for 40 years by the Mockingbird.

Govt propaganda to control the masses.


They'll even believe we landed on the Moon with live streaming video, with transmission technology 40 years ahead of its time. :)

Playboy moving HQ to Miami from California. ‘Following Tesla, Chevron, and Charles Schwab’. Playboy is a shell of what it used to be, but the CEO was clear. California is anti business while Florida is pro business. What a surprise…..

If Mamdani wins in NYC just substitute ‘from California’ to ‘from NYC’.

Well, that's nice. Florida judge overturns Florida book ban.

Quote:
“The judge’s order makes it clear that we cannot judge a book by its cover or a maliciously selected excerpt out of context,” said Stephana Ferrell of the Florida Freedom to Read Project. “This means that the thousands of books that have been prohibited from student access without careful consideration of their value should be returned to shelves immediately. Florida cannot call itself the “freest state” while it blatantly violates the First Amendment rights of our youngest citizens.”

A double (112.98%) for a mega tech firm in less than 5 months (ttm PE = 58.63):



If the firm initially had a value of less than $5 billion and then doubled in less than 5 months, I wouldn't be writing this post.

But since she climbed $2.4 trillion in value in less than 5 months (127 days), I call BS.

Someone is cooking the books.


This is like 100,000 Enrons in 127 days.


But how many will actually go to prison?

I predict less than 3 persons or about $1 trillion per person or about $1 trillion per 60 days.


And I'd act before they get any more cash out.

Restrict all passports for the executives.







By the way, I'd never short a scam stock because scammers will keep scamming.

Anti-AI vandals hurl paint on cars at Ptld. AI soiree.

Looks like some folks fear the power of AI: might this become a national issue?

Or is it just another "Portland thng?"

For whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.


Quote:
Eric Vaughan, CEO of enterprise-software powerhouse IgniteTech, is unwavering as he reflects on the most radical decision of his decades-long career. In early 2023, convinced that generative AI was an “existential” transformation, Vaughan looked at his team and saw a workforce not fully on board. His ultimate response: He ripped the company down to the studs, replacing nearly 80% of staff within a year, according to headcount figures reviewed by Fortune.

Over the course of 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024, Vaughan said IgniteTech replaced hundreds of employees, declining to disclose a specific number. “That was not our goal,” he told Fortune. “It was extremely difficult … But changing minds was harder than adding skills.” It was, by any measure, a brutal reckoning—but Vaughan insists it was necessary, and says he’d do it again.

For Vaughan, the writing on the wall was clear and dramatic. “In early 2023, we saw the light,” he told Fortune in an interview, adding that he believed every tech company was facing a crucial inflection point around adoption of artificial intelligence. “Now I’ve certainly morphed to believe that this is every company, and I mean that literally every company, is facing an existential threat by this transformation.”
