All these struggling independent networks are going end up with revenues from videos and gain market share from these useless MSM losers.
🚨 NOW: President Trump boards Air Force One en route to NYC for the United Nations and his meeting with Zohran Mamdani The legacy media networks REFUSED to provide a camera feed in solidarity with CNN, so @RealAmVoice stepped in with THEIR cameras Thanks @JackPosobiec and RAV!

This is how they cheat... fake names on the rolls. We have called this out in AZ as well.
BREAKING: Lancaster, Pennsylvania officials have BUSTED a large-scale fraudulent voter registration scheme that includes thousands of applications with the same handwriting, fake signatures, false addresses, etc They discovered the same scheme in other Pennsylvania counties. District Attorney Heather Adams revealed that the applications came from canvassers who were paid to obtain voter registrations, adding that "The majority of the applications were from residents in the city of Lancaster... The canvases themselves took place at various shopping centers, parking lots of grocery stores and businesses, sidewalks and parks." "We are aware of at least two other counties that receive similar applications that are currently being investigated." If you listen closely, the DA said the Clerk received the applications at or near the deadline to register to vote. That means the bad actors waited till the last minute so no one would notice. They would've used the fraudulent applications to commit mail-in ballot fraud without getting caught. We better check the entire state of Pennsylvania, and we better see arrests NOW.

Zurich insurance offers lower insurance premiums if you use Tesla supervised self-driving
Tesla FSD just reached a pretty important milestone in Australia 🇦🇺 Zurich has become the first Australian insurer to recognize FSD Supervised as reducing driving risk....and that is now being reflected in lower insurance pricing for Tesla owners Australian Teslas have already driven more than 132 MILLION km using FSD And the safety data shows around 7× fewer major and minor collisions with FSD engaged Insurance companies price risk with real money....if they’re lowering the cost, the safety data is speaking for itself FSD is now turning better safety into lower ownership costs for Tesla drivers

Interesting development on our new Tesla Model Y order. The app was showing a window from September 10 - September 30 for delivery. Yesterday, that changed to September 9-23, which appears to be moving up the target window. However still no specific date, so I can't get insurance and make plans to travel back to the Phoenix area to take delivery of the new car. All the steps are on the Tesla phone app. Interesting how this is playing out. Can't wait to enjoy the ride...

I run data centers for a living and I live in Chicago, where there are over 200 of them. I've never once heard a neighbor complain about a building they can't see, can't hear, and don't pay for. The fear only shows up where the building hasn't gone up yet.

Wow! That works
🚨 UPDATE: In a major development, a $17B Google data center project is allowing Columbia County, Georgia to ELIMINATE a portion of residents' property taxes — and the deal has been approved The data center is going to bring $40 MILLION per year in property taxes, almost DOUBLING what they currently take in "We negotiated a deal that's probably NEVER been negotiated before." The homestead property tax is set to be slashed, pending voter approval

The data is overwhelming that FSD is safer than average human drivers. I see a lot of crazies on the road here in Scottsdale...
FSD eliminates almost all collisions from lane changes

And anyone who is against this should immediately smash their phone on the ground, so that they don't use any of these data centers to communicate with the world...

This is: Seven minutes and four seconds of conspiracy—caught on surveillance video. The 2022 Arizona election, November 8, 2022—the state capital of election fraud: Maricopa County. Here are Katie Hobbs and her co-conspirator, Adrian Fontes, dumping stacks of ballots into the drop box leading up to the 2022 election—including after the 7 p.m. deadline on November 8. The Gateway Pundit reported on an investigation into Maricopa County ballot harvesting that used public-records requests for all ballot-box retrieval and chain-of-custody forms from the 2020 General Election. The report concluded that Katie Hobbs violated Arizona law and failed to maintain the required chain of custody for at least 740,000 ballots, including approximately 300,000 illegal ballots. In total, 4.8 million “mule votes” were cast in this fashion nationally during the 2020 election. In other words, Katie Hobbs facilitated the overthrow of the U.S. government in 2020 and, along with her co-conspirator Adrian Fontes, overthrew the state government of Arizona in 2022. Watch until the end of the video as Katie Hobbs flips off the American people.

A sensible take on where Full Self Driving is at this point...
Jeg har kørt med selvkørende FSD i nogle måneder nu. Eller min bil har retteligt kørt mig, i nogle måneder nu. Fra min første tur ved Folkemødet, til at det kort efter blev sluppet løs til private biler, så har jeg kørt flere tusind kilometer. Jeg tror ikke helt folk forstår det som sker. Transport er ved at forandre sig meget. Det er ekstremt tæt på fuldautomatisk. Med undtagelse af at køre ind i min indkørsel (hvor den vil parkere på villavejen), så kommer den uden jeg rører den fra A til B idag. Det er ikke en fartpilot. Eller en lane-assist. Den kører bilen. Selv. Der er lige om lidt ingen grund til at jeg overhovedet befinder mig i bilen. Hvis jeg måtte, så kunne jeg taste en adresse ind og sende bilen afsted selv. 9 ud af 10 ture allerede idag bruger bilen mig slet ikke. Et menneskes intervention i kørslen er formentlig allerede nu mindre sikkert, end FSDs reaktion, på en given hændelse. Har én selvkørende bil lært at komme ind i min indkørsel, så er den viden hos alle selvkørende biler. Måske køre uden chauffør, hjem fra at sætte mig af i lufthavnen for at spare parkering, eller for at køre børnene i skole, eller hente noget. Skal oldemor til øjenlægen i arbejdstiden? Send bilen efter hende. Den er god nok til at køre helt selv. Det er ikke science fiction. Det er ikke teknik og software som stopper os i at kunne, det er pt. kun regler og regulativer. Det er klart at vi skal være sikre på at den er mere sikker henover alle situationer end et menneske, før det slippes fri, men det er tæt på. Den kører langt mere smooth, opmærksomt og forudseende end et menneske kan. Det er mere at klare myndighedernes bevisbyrde end et software leap, som skal til nu. Når bilerne endda kan kommunikere sammen inden længe, og andelen af menneskelige chaufføre på vejene falder, så øges sikkerheden yderligere. Hvis de taler sammen, så kan de i teorien køre med højere tæthed i højere fart. Reaktionstiden for at bremse er ikke biologiske nervebaner uden advarsel, men lysets hastighed og lidt compute, som får en advarsel fra den forankørende først. Game changer for spørgsmålet om trængsel. 3x så mange biler dobbelt så hurtigt fremme? Mindre luftmodstand og derved mindre elforbrug? Det betyder farvel til diskussioner om p-pladser. Bilen sætter dig af og kører hvorhen den behøver. Måske delebiler overtager det hele. Så flåden af biler konstant kører. Måske samkørsel al'a mindre busser som dynamisk ruteoptimerer. Flere grønne arealer og det hele er støjsvage elbiler. Vejene skal også opdateres med tiden, så skilte, bump, og sving osv. er optimeret efter en anden slags chaufførs opmærksomhed. Det vil yderligere forbedre transport. Det betyder også at togtrafik er en deadend. En tons tung ting, som kun kan køre lige ud, og som ikke starter hvor du er, og ikke stopper hvor du skal hen. Glem det. Bør man lave analyser af at omdanne banenettet til turboveje til selvkørende biler? Det ændrer også totalt hvad en bil skal gøre for dig. Den bliver en slags "tredje sted", mere lounget, måske med sengeplads, mere komfortabel, designet efter socialt samvær, arbejde og opbevaring. Jeg tror også det gør noget ved roadrage og trafikstress. Hvis nogen dytter, så er det af en computer. Du kan heller ikke rigtig være sur på en forankørende, hvis du ved det er en computer og ikke en "idiot" bag rettet. Jeg er sikker på at fejl og ulykker vil ske. Men jeg er også sikker på at de vil være færre og mindre, end vi ser idag med mennesker bag rattet. Endda med en potentielt stejl læringskurve. Jeg tror vi kommer til at kigge tilbage på mennesker bag rattet som noget farligt. De mange som stadig kører selv og ikke har prøvet det endnu, tænker sikkert jeg er virkelighedsfjern efter at have læst det her. Men nej. Vi står midt i det. "The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed" Tingene bliver anderledes og de bliver bedre, meget hurtigt. Det skal man politisk selvfølgelig indstille beslutninger efter nu.

Another great analysis by Mises Institute on the wealth tax proposed in CA and how ridiculous it is based on historical failures of this style of taxation. Sounds good to the those voters without any wealth, but it fails repeatedly to deliver what the silver-tongued politicians promise. mises.org/mises-wire/wealth-…
