Deepfakes from Gaza war increase fears about AI's power to mislead | AP News
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Among images of the bombed out homes and ravaged streets of Gaza, some stood out for the utter horror: Bloodied, abandoned infants.

Since the war began last month, digitally altered ones spread on social media have been used to make false claims about responsibility for casualties or to deceive people about atrocities that never happened...

You are "over-consuming" meat?!!-----United Nations climate police demand that people eat less meat

United Nations climate police demand that people eat less meat - Frieda Powers 

"Not only are consumers supposed to go electric by ditching their gas-powered vehicles and trading in their stoves, but now climate zealots are aiming to reduce carbon emissions by destroying the world’s farming industries.
In a first “net zero plan” for food, the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will reportedly be rolling out guidance at next month’s United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP28 summit in Dubai.

• “Nations that over-consume meat will be advised to limit their intake, while developing countries — where under-consumption of meat adds to a prevalent nutrition challenge — will need to improve their livestock farming, according to the FAO,” according to Bloomberg...

They're smiling cuz they got FREE MONEY...from us!-----Selective subsidies are a losing strategy for Michigan

Selective subsidies are a losing strategy for Michigan -  James M. Hohman

• Corporate welfare does not fuel high-growth states, and is not the answer for Michigan
• Politicians are eager to take credit when companies like Ford Motor Company announce an expansion that’s funded by taxpayer money. 

"Michigan is falling behind. 

• Jobs nationwide are up 3.0% from pre-pandemic levels; 
• Michigan has yet to recover all the jobs it lost in the pandemic. Its 0.7% decline is seventh-worst among states. 

The response from lawmakers was to spend billions on selective business subsidies. 

It won’t work.
The states that have been growing the most are not the ones writing the biggest checks to the biggest companies. 

They are Idaho and Utah, the states that spend the least on selective business subsidies...

We have a mental health crisis dressed up as politics | Blaze Media: 

For a few days at the end of 2011 and the opening of 2012, a wave of nighttime arson fires swept across Los Angeles. There would be 55 in all, and they would be extraordinarily damaging, targeting densely parked cars in carports underneath apartment buildings so the fires would quickly threaten homes and the people sleeping inside them. Watching the destruction spread across the city, speculation ran wild: a giant band of trained arsonists, sent by al-Qaeda?

• Don’t Do Unto Others What We Would Have Done to Them?

"Once more, it gets even creepier how the projectionist Left is daily still shrieking about impending Trump “revenge” and “rage”, or about Trump’s purported enemies lists to come, or about his planned weaponization of the bureaucracies. 

The fear is in direct proportion to Biden cognitive decline, sinking polls, and walls-are-closing-in family corruption.
Should we laugh or cry about the transparent hypocrisy?
After all, who tried to wreck an administration with 

• a 22-month-long Russian “collusion” fraud, 
• suppressed a laptop with the lie it was Russian “disinformation”, or 
• impeached a president for a phone call correctly identifying the Biden family’s operation in Ukraine as utterly corrupt and at the expense of U.S. interests?

Do we recall that the Obama-Biden nexus—from 2009-17, and from 2021 until now—cemented the reputation of FBI as a partisan operation...

Congress must investigate the traitorous Antony Blinken | Blaze Media: 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is a despicable con artist who is organizing Arab and European countries, along with the United Nations, around the backs of our Congress and Israel to carve up the Jewish state and gift the Palestinians massive swaths of Israel’s country, including Judea and Samaria. That is his response to the Palestinians’ murderous slaughter of Israelis!

"The stance of the Arabs and Muslims is yet another indication of their disillusionment with the Palestinians in general and Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hizballah and the Houthis -- in particular.

• Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan are as opposed to Hamas as they are to Israel. Hamas is another branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which has long posed a threat to their national security.

• In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar after accusing it of providing support for Islamist terrorists, including Hamas and the Taliban, as well as Iran...

They are terrified of… 

You know why they’re terrified of him? 

• Because they think he’s smarter this time and he has just cause to really get angry because of what they did to him.

...but deep down inside they know that if the right ever did that to Barack Obama, or Joe Biden, they could have really made something out of the fact that Barack Obama had a hot mic expose where he told the president of Russia, “You tell Vladimir that I will be flexible on missile defense that’s the security of the United States of America if he gives me space in my last election.” 

And Putin did do that. 

That’s an impeachable offense IF a phone call to Ukraine is. 

So they didn’t understand then that the right could have done that to them and they understand now the right probably will do that to them for their own survival...

Conservative lawmaker Jeremy Patzer responded to the report, writing, "This is ridiculous. Christmas is celebrated all around the world by people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds. This is another example of woke ideology fomenting within the federal government. I for one will be celebrating Christmas whole heartedly. Merry Christmas!" John Rustad, the leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, wrote on X, "The Trudeau Liberals have lost their minds to woke culture. There is nothing discriminatory about Christmas."

Douglas Andrews: Chauvin: A Sacrifice to the Social 'Justice' Mob | The Patriot Post - DOUGLAS ANDREWS

• The more we learn about the case of the cop who was convicted for George Floyd’s death, the more we’re convinced that it was a gross miscarriage of justice.

It’s been an awful stretch of days for Derek Chauvin...
It wasn’t just jury bias that plagued the Chauvin case, though. 

As we noted last month, when a key witness says “the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on,” you know you have problems. 

How so? 

• The chief medical examiner in the case says that Floyd had a severely enlarged heart; that the autopsy showed no physical signs of neck injury or strangulation; and that if Floyd had been found alone in an apartment building, his death would be certified as an overdose without a second thought due to the lethal level of methamphetamines in his system.

Adding injury to that constitutional insult, Chauvin was stabbed and gravely injured Friday afternoon by a fellow inmate at a federal prison in Arizona...
