I know how to get them riled up, just post some of Grok’s finest work:
—————–
Verse 1
In the land of the free, where the brave stand tall,
A leader rose up to answer the call.
With a heart for the people, bold and strong,
Donald Trump, you lead us, we march along.Chorus
Oh, Trump, our champion, guiding the way,
For freedom and justice, you fight every day.
With courage and vision, you light up the dawn,
America’s pride, we’ll carry on!Verse 2
From the heartland fields to the city’s roar,
You built a movement, opened the door.
For the worker, the dreamer, the red, white, and blue,
Your voice speaks for us, steadfast and true.Chorus
Oh, Trump, our champion, etc.Bridge
Through trials and storms, you never back down,
Lifting our spirits, you wear the crown.
With faith in our nation, you stand for what’s right,
A patriot’s fire, burning so bright.Verse 3
The flag waves high, under skies so wide,
With you at the helm, we swell with pride.
For liberty’s promise, you’ll always defend,
America’s story will never end.Chorus
Oh, Trump, our champion, etc.Outro
So here’s to our leader, with strength and with might,
For God and for country, you shine in the fight.
Donald Trump, forever, our hearts you have won,
America’s glory, forever will run!LikeLike

I’m sure you’ve seen thie:
VILNIUS/WASHINGTON, Sept 19 (Reuters) – Three Russian military jets violated NATO member Estonia’s airspace for 12 minutes on Friday in an “unprecedentedly brazen” incursion, its government said, the latest in a series of recent military actions by Russia that have rattled the alliance.
With tensions already high because of the war in Ukraine, the incursion came just over a week after more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace on the night of Sept. 9-10. That prompted NATO jets to down some of them and Western officials to say Russia was testing the alliance‘s readiness and resolve.

meh.
I just spent a few minutes going back and looking at Russian incursions over time. This is about 10% real and 90% just normal stuff that is publicized to get the desired ruckus out of the hoi polloi. It looks to have worked.
Just for fun, Google ‘Project Dark Gene’.

Not much happening here.
Some sort of California ‘Glock ban’ has been showing up on my news feeds. Too funny.
Of course it’s in the nature of gubmint for people to invent new restrictions for others. Coming up with ‘good ideas’ to be amalgamated into an ever-growing wad of rules is the quickest way to achieve status for an individual. The end game will be total surveillance of the population since you don’t want people doing Bad Things or owning Bad Stuff. DADSS or illegal 3d printer files are just the beginning.

“Citing national security concerns, Trump’s State Department denied visas to the Palestinian delegation, meaning Palestinian leaders including Mahmoud Abbas will be unable to attend the meeting at the U.N. headquarters in New York City. ”

Simple solution to the ‘Palestine’ problem. Simply cut the place up to be part of Egypt and Jordan, it isn’t like it’s a lot of land. Something similar should happen to the civilian part of Washington DC (Virginia and Maryland).
It can’t happen since both large neighbors want no part of these people. They’re as crazy as shit-house rats
Naturally, in both cases, that makes them perfect allies of US ‘progressives’.

“What land would you “cut up”?”
Well, that takes about 2 seconds worth of research. The Gaza Strip is about a 10 mile by 2 mile stretch of beach that is bordered by Israel and Egypt. If the Egyptians would take it (they wouldn’t, look at the border wall there) it would make a great deal of sense to have them run the civil administration of the place.
Should the Jordanians run the West Bank? Maybe. You do have a certain problem with defensible boundaries in that case, it *is* larger, and the Palestinians did try to take over Jordan once in 1970-1971.
Simply put, ‘Palestine’, whatever US liberal zealots think it is, is not a viable country and it’s a lot more related to the local Muslim countries than it is Israel.
Hell, the world would be a lot better off if the Turks still ran the place. Glue sniffing civet cats indeed.

Trump keeps spouting his absolute lies about Jan 6. Here is him re-spouting one of his biggest.
““This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials,’” Trump said on Truth Social.”

Once again Trump is making up lies to justify his aggression.
“When asked whether he is still sending troops to Portland, which he described as “War ravaged” in a social media post Saturday, Trump said his administration will make a decision on that ‘pretty soon.’
“Well, I mean, we’re certainly looking at it,” Trump said. “You can’t have that. We don’t want that. They’re attacking our ICE facility and they’re attacking other federal buildings.”

Did anyone get a load of the YES ON PROP 50 people? Yard signs. Old folks yelling at cars?
Jaysus. I guess the idea here is to have even fewer (R) Representatives in CA in order to SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!
If you fiddle with an AI for a moment (I used Grok, being rather lazy), you can see how grossly underrepresented Republicans are in California vs. Democrats in Texas.
The key statement from Mr. Grok:
“Texas’s congressional delegation is moderately misaligned with its presidential vote, with Republicans overrepresented by about 4 seats compared to a proportional split. California’s delegation is significantly misaligned, with Democrats overrepresented by about 13 seats and Republicans underrepresented by about 11 seats.”
Aren’t you folks even slightly embarrassed? I guess it’s all about power after all, and anything goes.
There’s no fool like an old liberal fool.

This ‘wordpress’ thing is pretty awful too. Way way too much gingerbread in the user interface.
Dunno why people can’t simply have a text-only interface, and maybe even self-host the damn thing. I’ll bet there’s a turnkey solution, and it might even provide a figleaf of privacy.

“97% average increase in premiums?”
Some sort of drop of ‘temporary’ ACA subsidies or something? Maybe Part D Medicare costs?
Healthcare will go to 101% of the economy given a chance, it ain’t like the insurance business is a hugely profitable endeavor. No doubt the proposed solution will be to TAKE MONEY FROM THE BILLIONAIRES!!!111 as they have a limitless pile of cash to pay for all good things.
You do have to wonder what’ll happen with the issues with SNACK (SNAP) benefits. You’d think that would be 100% a state program if it existed at all.
Prop 50 goes on (probably with court challenges) as nothing must stop all the old fogies with signs. If it takes gerrymandering to stop Orange Hitler, it’ll happen, although it’s tricky in the Great State of California as we’re already there. I *do* like the idea of having only 2 (R) Congressmen in a place with 40% Trump voters. NO MO’ KINGS we say!!!, at least that kind.

Huh….and Biden was at -14 on mid-November 2021. (and -19 in the following July, oofta!)
Dude, you need to be out there with your pro-gerrymandering sign. I’m thinking it would be simpler to just have Gavin appoint all the House members. He could hand them out in the same fashion as (D) machine politics gives out all those board memberships, sweet sweet commission posts, and gubmint jobs generally.
