'SO...MUCH...FRAUD': New details emerge as alleged fraud scandal is branded 'worse than Watergate'.

 


'Train wreck’: -- Energy chief SLAMS Biden power policies amid President Trump's lower prices push.

 


This is my Conversation with Grok about Robby Starbuck Suing Evil Google.


 

The X post by 

 (a pro-Trump account with a bio linking to MAGA content) quotes a prior Grok response and escalates criticism of Google AI, specifically alleging that its Gemma model not only hallucinated defamatory claims against conservative activist Robby Starbuck (e.g., false sexual assault and child abuse accusations) but also fabricated nonexistent web links to "validate" those lies. The post claims this reached 300 million users—likely an estimate based on Google's search dominance and AI integrations like Bard/Gemini—and poses a pointed question: Was this intentional sabotage by Google employees training models to target Starbuck and other conservatives?Context on the IncidentThis stems from a real, high-profile controversy that unfolded in late October 2025:
  • The Core Issue: Google's open-source Gemma AI model generated entirely fabricated outputs about Starbuck, including links to bogus articles from outlets like "The New York Times" and "CNN" that don't exist. Examples included claims of Starbuck committing murder or child assault, which the AI cited as "sourced" from these phantom stories. Similar hallucinations targeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), fabricating rape allegations against her.
  • Lawsuit Filed: On October 22, 2025, Starbuck sued Google in Delaware Superior Court for defamation, product liability, and negligence, calling the outputs "radioactive lies" that could irreparably harm reputations. The suit argues Google's rush to deploy untested AI without adequate safeguards amplified uncurated web data biases. 
  • Broader Fallout: Blackburn sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on October 31, demanding the model be shut down and an investigation launched, citing risks to conservatives from AI's left-leaning training data skews (e.g., overrepresentation of progressive media in web crawls).  Google responded by restricting Gemma's public access on November 3, 2025, after the backlash, but not before it spread via developer integrations and searches.

Vial medication administration nursing skill. Learn techniques to withdraw medication from a vial using a syringe with a needle.

 



NOTE: Before withdrawing medication from the vial, ensure that the vial is not cracked, expired, or contaminated. After withdrawing the medication into the syringe, verify that the correct amount has been withdrawn and that the solution in the syringe is free of air bubbles, particulate matter, or discoloration. 

Medications can come in different forms, such as ampules, vials, tablets, capsules, and so forth. When withdrawing medication from a vial, there are a few things you'll want to know as a nursing student or nurse. 

First, there are different needles that can be attached to the syringe. You can use a traditional needle with a beveled tip; you can use a blunt-tip needle to reduce the risk of needle sticks; or you can use a filter needle, which is sometimes required or recommended when drawing medication from a vial, particularly in cases of reconstituted medication. When withdrawing from a vial, you'll want to do these things (assuming they fit with the protocols and manufacturer's instructions): 

NOTE: Some medications or vaccines may require a different technique, so always consult with the manufacturer's instructions.

 -gather your supplies -perform hand hygiene -clean the vial's top with alcohol prep -attach the appropriate needle -stick the needle using a technique to prevent coring of the rubber on the vial (start with 45 degree angle, and as you puncture the vial, rotate the needle to a 90 degree angle in one smooth motion). 
-push air into the vial equal to the amount of medication you plan to draw 
-invert the vial to withdraw medication -remove air bubbles

How to minimize nagging by Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD)


Tesla FSD v14.1.7 is coming out now.



In general this new version of Tesla FSD is very good.

It still has problems parking in the correct parking spot.

To minimize the "nagging" please read below.


x.com/MAGAaTom/status/1987985596011475247?s=20


Short version: keep the car convinced you’re paying attention. That’s all the “nag” is. Here’s how to make it bug you less, without doing anything sketchy or unsafe.

1. Give it a steady, light input on the wheel

Tesla still uses wheel torque plus the driver-monitoring camera. If the wheel thinks no one is there, it nags. Rest one hand at ~4–5 o’clock or 7–8 o’clock and apply a tiny, constant twist. Not a big turn—just a little resistance so it can “feel” you. People who only “tap” the wheel every time it nags get more nags later. (This is still how Autopilot/FSD is described in the manual. Tesla+1)

2. Keep the cabin camera happy

Newer builds lean harder on the in-cabin camera: if you’re not looking forward, it ramps up alerts. So: face forward, don’t look down at your phone, and don’t cover the camera above the mirror. Sunglasses, especially dark/reflective ones, can make it stricter because Tesla improved the “sunglasses loophole.” Tesla Owners Online+2Tesla+2

3. Don’t make it nervous

When visibility is bad (sun glare, rain, dirty cameras), the system is already working harder, and attention checks can feel more frequent. Wipe the exterior cameras and keep the windshield clear; Tesla literally tells you this because blocked cameras reduce confidence. Lower confidence → more supervision → more nags. Tesla+1

4. Sit where it can see you

If you’re too far back, slouched, or off to the side, the cabin camera may think you’re not looking. A small seat/tilt change so your face is centered can reduce eye-attention warnings. Owners noticed this after the stricter driver-monitoring updates. Tesla Motors Club+1

5. Use the scroll-wheel wiggle (easy one)

A tiny steering movement usually works, but on a lot of cars a brief “wiggle” of the left scroll wheel (volume) with your hand on the wheel also satisfies it—drivers report this as a low-effort way to acknowledge without yanking the wheel. Still keep your hand on the wheel. Tesla Motors Club

6. Don’t fight the attention system

Tesla is under NHTSA and other scrutiny right now, so recent updates skew toward more monitoring, not less. If you try to defeat it (weights on wheel, covering camera), you can get more frequent nags, strikes, or even temporary FSD/Autopilot lockouts—because the software is literally being tuned to catch that behavior. AP News+1

7. Keep software current

Some versions (like the v12.x wave, then later 2025 builds) reduced the old constant steering-wheel nag and shifted more to vision-based attention—better if you actually look forward, worse if you don’t. So staying on the latest build can help if you drive the way it wants. DIY Wrap Club formerly TESBROS+1


If you do just these three—(1) light constant hand torque, (2) look forward where the camera can see your eyes, (3) keep cameras clean—you’ll cut most of the nagging without risking strikes.

What will the USA Supreme Court decide about Presidents Trump's authority to put Tariffs on other countries?

 

This vote by the USA Supreme Court should be 9-0

I think President Trump will be lucky if it is 5-4 in his favor.




Why don't these USA Senators do what President Trump says? -- SEN. MULLIN: 'The new bill we're working on has this'.

 



NUKE THE FILIBUSTER NOW. 
PUSH THRU VOTER ID LAWS. DO IT NOW AND THEY WONT EVER HAVE THE SENATE BACK TO USE IT AGAINST US. GROW A PAIR.

In some cases using AI is a big waste of time. SEO advice is a good example where AI can get you penalized by Google.


I think that AI tools are useful, however you have to learn what AI tools are good at, and what they are terrible at doing.

Asking AI for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) advice is a very bad idea, as AI tools have many "bad sources" on this topic.

Please see screen shot of one of my debates with ChatGPT.





Then right after above happens, ChatGPT tells me to use a SEO strategy that I know 100% for sure Google will penalize your website for doing.

Then I become tried of arguing with ChatGPT about SEO methods.
One good thing about AI tools is that you do not have to worry about offending them, you have to be nicer to other humans.

Sometimes after AI tools fail me, I tell them stuff like:
"You really stink at this, and you are wasting my time you dumbass robot".

I like to see how AI tools respond to comments like above.

The Amazing World of Orca Whales: -- A Beginner's Guide -- Also known as Killer Whales

 


The Amazing World of Orca Whales: A Beginner's Guide

Welcome to the fascinating world of Orca Whales, also known as Killer Whales! Despite their intimidating nickname, these magnificent creatures are incredibly intelligent, social, and play a vital role in marine ecosystems. This guide will introduce you to the basics of Orca Whale biology, behavior, and conservation.

What Exactly Are Orca Whales?

Orca Whales (Orcinus orca) are marine mammals belonging to the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). This means that, surprisingly, they are actually the largest type of dolphin, not whales! They are found in every ocean on Earth, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to the warm tropical waters.

Key Characteristics:

  • Size: Orcas are large and powerful, with males typically reaching 20-26 feet (6-8 meters) in length and weighing up to 6 tons. Females are slightly smaller, averaging 16-23 feet (5-7 meters) and weighing up to 4 tons.
  • Coloration: Their striking black and white coloration is a form of disruptive camouflage, helping them blend in with the light and shadows in the water, making it harder for prey to spot them. They have a distinctive white patch behind each eye and a gray "saddle patch" behind their dorsal fin.
  • Dorsal Fin: The dorsal fin is a prominent feature, especially in males, where it can grow up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The shape and size of the dorsal fin can vary between different populations of Orcas.
  • Teeth: Orcas have large, conical teeth designed for grasping and tearing prey. They don't chew their food; instead, they swallow it whole or in large pieces.

Orca Whale Behavior and Social Structure

Orcas are highly social animals and live in complex family groups called pods. These pods are typically matrilineal, meaning they are based around a female (the matriarch) and her offspring. Pods can consist of a few individuals or several dozen members.

Google has illegally broken into my Blogs over 100 times. Google has edited and illegally deleted some of my content. Additionally, X, Meta, and Google are still censoring many people, including me. Elon Musk never fixed any of the evil censorship that Jack Dorsey and his team built into the X software. We do not have online freedom of speech.
