Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.
We have a temporary advertiser, The Daily Financial Trends – a financial news aggregator designed to deliver the data other financial sites deliver, but in a fraction of the time. Give them a click and see if you prefer getting your financial news there.
We maintain a light, news-story-only, very mobile-friendly version of this site, with no comments, at https://www.rkpolitics.com

“Make sure those you follow talk about the surveillance, because everyone who is in the game knows. Make them either damage the machine by saying it, or reveal they are part of it by staying silent. Demanding our side talk about the surveillance is really the closest to a Xanatos gambit our side has.”

Judge denies Hobbs request to sanction Lake over Arizona election claims.
Democrats, feeling new strength, plan to go on offense on voting rights. From the link:
Democrats, who retained all but one of the governor’s offices they hold and won control of state legislatures in Michigan and Minnesota… are ready to go on offense in 2023. They are putting forward a long list of proposals that include creating automatic voter registration systems, preregistering teenagers to vote before they turn 18, returning the franchise to felons released from prison and criminalizing election misinformation.
Amazon is burning billions on Alexa because voice assistants need massive infrastructure but can’t be monetized. Google Cloud is $700 million in the red as of last earnings and heading south to a state of madness like a New Jersey retiree. These are mature products in saturated markets. You don’t need an MBA to know what will happen. But even the dean of Harvard Business School can’t say when.
It is interesting how much of this stuff we get for free, where there are billions of us each siphoning off a few cents here and there every day, and no normal business could possibly afford supplying the service for free at that kind of global scale. But we never thought about that. Or the fact that the only entity which could foot that bill is intelligence, and they would only foot that bill for one reason. They wanted that microphone in the center of your house, or they wanted those emails on a server of an entity which would give them the emails without demanding a court order. And somehow we were conditioned to just assume that forming a business like that, was how you made hundreds of billions of dollars. Sure you are losing a dollar per customer per day. But you make it up on volume, across the entire globe. Everything we just assumed was entirely wrong.
Elon Musk – Every social media firm censors for US government. “Google frequently makes links disappear, for example.”
Justice Gorsuch joins three liberal justices on Supreme Court’s Title 42 decision, arguing, “The current border crisis is not a COVID crisis.” God save us from the principled idiots in time of war.

Tulsi Gabbard tears into George Santos during Fox interview: ‘Do you have no shame?’ This dude advertised himself to voters as a gay Jew graduate of Baruch college, with a grandma who survived the Holocaust, who worked for Goldman Sachs. Now it turns out he is divorced (though he says he is “very gay” now), he never got a college degree, he was raised very Catholic, he thinks he remembers a grandma saying something about Jewish heritage, and he never worked for Goldman. And yet, Tulsi is just as much of a bullshit artist faker as him, because she has to know she did not run for office as an independent person and win. She had to get the blessing of something, and I would assume it rigged the election for her, as one of the actors in the play. She might even have an earpiece, and what she said here was being put in her ear. And of course, she will never mention the surveillance. The only one of them who was really honest was David Patterson, and he was driven from office – and who even knows where he is now.
SBF borrowed $546 million from Alameda Research to purchase Robinhood shares (HOOD). It is amazing how big a difference there is between the world of silly Cabal-Bux, where this goof is moving hundreds of millions on a whim, and the real world, where that kind of money can not aggregate in one place, under one person.
A former Microsoft technologist is behind bars after he plowed his car into a crowded Washington State supermarket on Friday night after alleging that he’s being pursued by a murderous satanic cult. “‘hundreds if not thousands of Microsoft’ employees are members of a nationwide satanic cult. Lewis wrote: ‘They are extremely dangerous and will not stop.’ “
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking victims, Sarah Ransom, told the court that she “made copies of tapes of high-ranking officials raping children and committing other horrific crimes.” Ransom claims that “the footage shows Obama and Michelle having sex with victim.” I do not see any other source beyond this Twitter account, so this could be bogus. Only put here because it is possible for somebody to find something that was overlooked, albeit unlikely.

The right-wing extremist who federal authorities say led the failed plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has been sentenced to 16 years in prison — dodging what could have been a life sentence that federal authorities had sought in the rare domestic terrorism case. Government-issued friends are not your friends. Don’t play with them. And I will bet a lot of people here have a lot more of them than they know.
Judge in the Whitmer Kidnapping case: “This is what law enforcement is supposed to do. I don’t see anything on the entrapment front. In my mind, law enforcement deserves a pat on the back.” He claimed the FBI informants “pulled the plug early” and commended the agency for its “careful monitoring.” And no matter how hard you studied and applied yourself in Law School, unless your profile indicated controllability, I tend to think being a judge would have been yet another door which would have been closed to you. Especially if it was a position which would have heard important cases.
