["Relocation firm moveBuddha looked at searches for 100,000 moves just this year, and five of the top ten were people looking to get out of the Golden State for almost anywhere else. "5 of the top 10 exit metros are in California, the firm reported on Monday. 'Los Angeles has the highest interest in outbound moves, with 42% more outbound inquiries than runner-up San Francisco. Per capita, the prize goes to San Francisco.'" (more here)  And NPR reported this morning that Sacramento's legislative rock apes are planning to start paying farm field workers their regular pay is they are prevented from working by a "natural disaster" like a heavy rain, flood, cold weather, etc.  The given reason is that we (Californians) want to "earn their trust" and stay in their goodwill.  Of course, the added taxes required and increased debt encountered from all this will just goose the state's exodus rate.  gjr]

    The HuffPost speaks:
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/it-s-time-for-the-biden-campaign-to-embrace-ai/ar-BB1pkvjU
    “…AI-generated content can be tailored to highlight President Biden’s accomplishments, clearly articulate his policies, and present a consistent, compelling message. In an era where visual mediums and quick, digestible content dominate public perceptions, AI offers an opportunity for more effective communication. These AI-enhanced videos could ensure that the public does not make decisions about the future of our democracy based on an inconveniently timed cough, stray stutter, or healthy but hobbled walk …”
    You have to admire Team Blue’s spirit.

    – or a fed prosecutor stating the only reason he isn’t criminally charged is due to his senility.
    – or staring off in space and unable to read simple lines from a teleprompter.
    Holy shit – “a healthy, but hobbled walk…???!!”
    That’s class A political BS right there – what Biden Butt-Licker wrote this trash?
    Ah – a Class A political slime ball grifter – that’s who:

    The hilarious aspect of this is the Biden admin claiming he just looks bad because of AI deep fake videos but they’ll set the record straight with REAL AI fake videos!
    Takes a Haw-vaurd grad to cook up that bit of crap.
    But folks like Paul lap this stuff up and believe every word – because – Trump!

    Oh well, he’s a handy stand-in for an everyman from Team Blue, although the AI running his account seems down to 3-4 possible posts.
    Honest to gawd, I’d love to see him do a quick run-down on these:

    This is a good list of Dem hoaxes… I didn’t believe in any of them.
    What say Punch?

    Metal Leo continues with his tour of San Francisco.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQdjksr4t14
    CLOSED NOW!
    So what’s the future for the place? Being slammed with a combination of pressure on retail by the internet, COVID, and Democratic Party Urban Zombie action seems to be no joke.
    . Ends up like Carthage? Trees growing through old Walgreens?
    . Fills up with a completely new set of people? Hispanic? East Asian? and they make it into another sort of place?
    . Some kind of slow rebuilding once rents settle down?
    . Robot overlords and/or Singularity rattles everyones’ cage in an unknowable fashion.
    Place yer bets.

    Then there’s Chi-Town:

    Gad Saad on Twitter:
    “I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating: World history is defined by the following simple rule. There are two groups on either side of a river. Each covets various resources from the other group. The only thing that stops a perpetual conflict between the two groups is the realization by each group that the other will respond in equal measure (or worse) if attacked. Now imagine that the West has decided to throw away this defining dynamic that shapes this fundamental historical reality. Defending what is ours is rooted in our genes; it is a central feature of our human nature. But the West has said that we are so progressive, so empathetic, so enlightened that we are not bound by pedestrian biology. Hence, we will not defend our culture; we will not defend our heritage; we will not defend our religion; we will not defend our women; we will not defend our children; we will not defend our values. According to our Western leaders, only barbarians worry about such defensive concerns. We are open, tolerant, kind, compassionate, welcoming. No amount of evidence can convince us that other groups might do us harm. And hence, we brainwash our children who become our politicians; we rejoice in the rape of our societies because this proves that we are kind. It is a mixture of what I discussed in The Parasitic Mind and what I’ll be presenting to the world in my next book Suicidal Empathy. I frankly am running out of optimism; I’m bereft of hope. I fight every day at great personal and professional cost. But how can you change anything when your society is hellbent on committing orgiastic suicide?”
    HAPPY MONDAY!

    Biden is now deporting more people than Trump
    I imagine because after his first three years in office there are so many more available to deport…
