["The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to John J. Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey E. Hinton of the University of Toronto for discoveries and inventions that formed the building blocks of machine learning underpinning many of today’s most powerful artificial intelligence models." Well sumbich, the Nobel Prize mavens are finally muscling in on computer science, a field they have ignored for decades. Now they are claiming that recent advances in AI really fall under the umbrella of physics (come to think of it, doesn't everything?). Well, this should get them more attention where it's needed. It will be interesting to watch for the reaction from the computer science folks administering the Turing Award. gjr]

Report: Biden Admin Ordered Britain to Hand Over Strategic Indian Ocean Islands Before U.S. Elections
Now a report in Britain’s The Daily Telegraph claims that far from simply being a matter of whim to the recently elected left-wing British government, the issue was in fact pushed by Joe Biden’s White House.
The paper asserts “senior officials” from the U.S. National Security Council and State Department ” told the incoming Labour government that refusing to sign away the islands would jeopardise the “special relationship” with Washington.”

Trump and J.D. Vance… they’ll be talking about things that are happening right here in America because it is an election season right here in America,” he said.
“It’s always America First. But then you go to Tim Walz and they’re asking him about geopolitical politics, and I think a lot of times that makes them sound, you know, very out of touch.”
He later added: “When you hear the Vances and Trumps talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more — not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more.”
Charlamagne tha God spoke about Kamala Harris’ announcement over the weekend that her administration is sending $157 million in humanitarian aid to civilians in Lebanon, far less than the $45 million the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) revealed, on October 4, it had provided for the immediate needs of individual Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia.
“People got outraged. They were like, yo, what about us right here in North Carolina?” he said. “So that ‘America First’ messaging goes a lot farther.”

Donald Trump is going all in on Pennsylvania and Georgia, the two critical swing states most likely to decide the entire election. Yet new polls suggest that he could walk away with the entire Rust Belt, in what would not only be a devastating wipe out for Kamala Harris, but a rejection of the entire Democratic Party.
If Harris loses Pennsylvania, the game could already be over. Yet if she loses Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan,she’ll deliver the Democratic Party the reckoning that it’s long since deserved.

During a Thursday event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Obama made several controversial remarks accusing black male voters of not being onboard with Harris for president.

“For him to want to come down from his mansion in Martha’s Vineyard and tell black men how we should vote … Really?”
“Barack, we’ve been ‘taking one for the team,’ when it comes to supporting the Democrat Party, for decades. And what do we have to show for it? Our inner cities are destroyed, violent crime is up, we are living in poverty in far too many communities across this country,”
“Obama’s pitch to Black men to support Kamala because ‘grew up like us’ is comical. She didn’t grow up like us and neither did Obama,” another black poster said

CNN says –
CNN data reporter Harry Enten warned on Sunday that former President Donald Trump is predicted to win a “historic” number of Black and Hispanic voters in the November election.
During an appearance on “Inside Politics,” Enten revealed the potentially bad news for Democrats and also noted that Republicans are outpacing Democrats in party identification and registration for the first time in almost 40 years.
At this particular hour, if you believe the polling, Donald Trump’s going to put up the best performance with Black voters since Richard Nixon in the 1960s,” Enten said.
Enten also told a CNN panel on Sunday that Trump is expected to put up the “best performance” for a Republican when it comes to Hispanic voters since former President George W. Bush in 2004.
“The GOP leads by a point in party identification right now,” he said. “The average when the Republican Party loses is the Democrats ahead by 8. When the Republican Party wins, the average party ID advantage for Democrats is 3. Republicans right now, Manu, are doing even better than the average when they win,” Enten added.
He noted that the party registration and party ID data “points in a good direction” for Trump.
