First....if you go on a national level....most independents don't give her much of a favorable rating.
Second, basically....she finished college....did some bartending, and got into the House. On skill-sets....one-to-ten....she's a '3' at best.
Third, most of what she says in interviews.....is far-left stuff....the kind of stuff that older Demos won't support.
Fourth....on debate skills...both Rubio and Vance are ten times better.
VP candidate....maybe, but for who?
I read through Russian news yesterday...coming to this article....school 'leadership' (nationally) is going to write down a mandate....for Russian kids (age 13) to start getting military training. Covering: machine guns, anti-tank weapons, grenades, & battlefield medicine.
I pondered over this.
They aren't going to hand active guns, grenades or mines over....it'll be wooden replicas (I believe). Maybe around age 15....they might hand some pistols/rifles over to take-apart and re-assemble.
Battlefield wounds? It's probably a 3-hour course.....you learn who is a 'goner', and who might be capable of surviving.
Wouldn't shock me if by age 16....you get a 8-hour course in tank-driving and basic maintenance every month.
A drastic situation? I'd suggest that the generals are looking over manpower and grasping that things in the next decade....aren't looking that great.
I sat and watched a podcast where AI got brought up....with the stupid ideas file cabinet.
In the real world.....there are tens of thousands of ideas 'branded' was bad each day. You can categorize them in various ways.
So the idea thrown out there.....AI will eventually find this file cabinet with billions of ideas branded bad, and start to analyze them.....coming to a reality that some percent....maybe 3-percent....maybe 20-percent...are NOT bad ideas, and should be investigated (meaning 5 minutes for AI)
As you start to ponder this....there are likely science papers written in the 1890s....sitting there, and waiting for AI to look over and grasp that the paper has value.
New discoveries....hour by hour? That's the basic introduction to this reality.
Whatever you believe is our landscape today.....will get crazy in five years as you start to find AI changing things....not just week by week....but hour by hour.
The Supreme Court came to agree (5-4)....the ballroom project now continues.
So to lay out the 'problem'.....it was a 100-percent privately-funded project on day one (Corporations stood up and laid down the cash).
Then....a new added-feature came up. This became a ballroom....with a underground bunker, military facilities, hospital/medical complex, and other “secure basement” elements beneath the ballroom, plus rooftop drone-related features.
This second part....required Pentagon-money to some degree...NOT authorized by the House/Senate.
The argument by the Chief Justice in the court case to halt the project? He made the point that the House/Senate has some level of ownership and control of federal facilities. It is a non-valid point....they control funding....NOT facilities.
To imagine McConnell or Sanders have a say over the number of doors, or windows, or toilets in a federal facility....is silly.
What was silly for decades? Every time a Presidential party or ball was held....they either rented a hotel-complex, or put up a rented-tent....hundreds of millions wasted....when the White House should have had a facility on the grounds.
Now things proceed? I would imagine in a week....another delay will be cranked-up.
Couple of months ago....on my trip to the US....I spent around 90 minutes at a Buc-ee's. Yeah, I washed the car.....used their tidy bathroom....walked through the store....and observed the crowd (guessing about 300 folks were in the building).
First, they have 'ease-of-access'....meaning they got the county/state to have an interstate exit....that led directly to the establishment.
Second, lets be honest....a tidy bathroom....nationally....is hard to find.
Third, the level/amount of gas points....makes it a pretty quick experience.
Fourth, if you were a 700-mile traveler for a day....the enticement is to figure the route where every three hours....there's a Buc'ee's stop. Fuel-up.....grab some ice-tea....visit the bathroom....buy some snacks.
Every state ending up with at least one? No. My view....Oregon, California and Washington....will never have one. There's probably 12 states like that.
Killing off the exit-stations? Well...that is the odd factor. I would imagine 40-odd gas stations near the interstate-exit....are doomed at this point, and likely failing.
