Posted By: franco, 8/15/2025 10:31:23 AM
A Republican consulting firm is warning that Google’s Gmail platform is disproportionately flagging Republican fundraising messages as spam while allowing similar Democratic solicitations to reach inboxes. [Snip] The firm said emails containing links to the Republican fundraising platform WinRed were, “in many cases, sending them directly to spam,” while identical test messages with links to the Democratic platform ActBlue were “delivered without issue.”

Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp has said the primary risk the UK faces is from an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” and that he fears civil war because politicians are too myopic to take action.
Colonel Richard Kemp, a high-profile Infantry officer who fought counter insurgency on home ground in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, served in the Gulf war and Bosnia, commanded an Afghanistan operation, and who had political-facing senior roles in Westminster including the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, has expressed concern about unrest and even civil war potentially breaking out in Britain.

Apple is preparing a sweeping lineup of new hardware as part of a broader push into artificial intelligence and the smart home, according to people familiar with the plans. The centerpiece is a tabletop robot, targeted for release in 2027, that is designed to act as a lifelike virtual companion. The company is also developing a smart speaker with a display for next year, as well as home-security cameras that would anchor a new Apple-branded security system.
“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,” U.S. President Donald Trump posted last week on Truth Social. “They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.” These words directly implicate buyers of Russian oil as accomplices in the murder of tens of thousands of Ukrainian people in the war started by the Kremlin on 24 February 2022, as indeed they have been.
George Soros turns 95 today, and for his birthday present America brought him the annihilation of his legacy.
Soros has been known for two things: making money and spending it on political influence. Over the last few years, he has handed over control of his empire to his son, Alex, and Alex seems unable to do either of those things successfully. [Snip] The second election of Donald Trump—in a race where crime, immigration, and the IRA were three of the major issues—was America’s personal slap to George Soros’ face. Today, on his 95th birthday, his legacy is in shambles.
Happy Birthday, George!
Beijing is quietly discouraging Chinese firms, particularly those tied to state and/or national security interests, from using Nvidia's H20 AI chips, even after the Trump administration reversed a U.S. sales ban in exchange for 15% of related revenue. The move follows Beijing's concerns over a potential "backdoor" in the H20, an allegation Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has rejected.
The report comes from the Financial Times, which states that regulators at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) instructed tech companies, such as Alibaba and ByteDance, to explain why they need H20 chips instead of sourcing domestic alternatives.
The White House is considering inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to President Trump’s highly anticipated face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week.
Discussions are underway about including Zelensky as the two world leaders prepare to meet in person on Friday in another bid to end Moscow’s 41-month-old invasion of Ukraine, senior White House officials and insiders told NBC News Saturday.
“It’s being discussed,” said one person briefed on the internal talks.While no visit has been finalized, a senior official said it’s “absolutely” possible the Kyiv leader could travel to the Last Frontier state for the pivotal summit.
“Everyone is very hopeful that would happen,” the official told the outlet.
Tech giant Apple is poised to announce a new investment of $100 billion in U.S. facilities as early as today, the White House said on Wednesday. President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared together at the White House to make the announcement.
According to a news release from Apple, the $100 billion represents "…a significant acceleration of its U.S. investment that now totals $600 billion over the next four years. Today’s announcement includes the ambitious new American Manufacturing Program (AMP), dedicated to bringing even more of Apple’s supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the U.S. ..."

MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Russia has started production of its newest hypersonic missiles and reaffirmed its plans to deploy them to ally Belarus later this year.
Sitting alongside Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko on Valaam Island near St. Petersburg, Putin said the military already has selected deployment sites in Belarus for the Oreshnik intermediate range ballistic missile.“Preparatory work is ongoing, and most likely we will be done with it before the year’s end,” Putin said, adding that the first series of Oreshniks and their systems have been produced and entered military service.

President Medvedev to watch his words

President Trump warned Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev that he risks entering “dangerous territory” after he slammed the US deadline for a cease-fire in Ukraine as “a step towards war.”
“Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” Trump said on Truth Social Thursday morning regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top ally.
Trump announced Monday to reporters in Scotland that he was pushing up a 50-day deadline he gave Russia to end the war, now calling for the three-year invasion of Ukraine to end within 10 to 12 days.

Airs Segment About Family That Self-Deported
To Mexico Under Trump 7 replies
CNN on Tuesday aired a segment about a family that chose to self-deport to Mexico from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under President Donald Trump’s second administration.
The Trump administration offers illegal immigrants who self-deport through the CBP Home app a free flight back to their home nation, a $1,000 stipend and forgiveness of any fines incurred for failing to follow through on a previous deportation order, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in June. On “Anderson Cooper 360,” CNN immigration correspondent Priscilla Alvarez reported the inside story of the family, which consists of an illegal immigrant Mexican father with a citizen wife and three children.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said during her book tour last weekend that she views Supreme Court opinions as a way to voice her personal convictions.
“I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do,” Jackson said.
She made the comments during a discussion of her new memoir, “Lovely One,” in front of 4,000 attendees at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans.
Jackson’s conception of her role appears to differ from that of most Supreme Court justices.

There Won't be a Biden Presidential Library
31 replies
Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.
Alec Baldwin is afraid. Very, very afraid. The actor is riven with fears for the future of the U.S. in the wake of Donald Trump’s successful push to increase federal law enforcement across Washington, DC, embracing the conspiracy theory that the president will use any means to “deflect from his inadequacy” and take control of whatever he can.
In a video uploaded to his official TikTok page, Baldwin suggested Trump would not stop at D.C. before going on to list cities across the U.S. and sporting institutions like the NFL and NBL, opining whether Trump was going to seize and “take them over” too:

More Bad Ads on TV and Cable – A Critique
29 replies
I received such an outpouring of comments to my recent bad T.V. and cable ads article that I thought I’d give this another shot.
Currently, there are so many bad ads I had no problem finding truly dreadful examples.
First, let’s check out an ad campaign that worked, American Eagle’s ads featuring Sydney Sweeney, a popular young Hollywood actress.
Apparently, she not only has good genes, but good jeans. When those American Eagle Sydney Has Great Jeans ads broke a couple of weeks ago, three things happened. Immediately, the “progressive left” predictably lost their minds, flooding TikTok and YouTube with screaming video fits, calling Sydney a Nazi while claiming
There’s a Democrat in Texas (yes, really!) who lost a race for senator, and then lost a race for governor. He’s a designated loser.
His name is Robert but he has a nickname. Since he’s proven himself not exactly an Alpha, you might assume his nickname is “Beta.”
Close. It’s “Beto.” Beto has a lot more in common with “Beta” than with “Rambo.”
Beto/Beta attended elite private boarding schools and then Columbia where he took a degree in English Literature. It was probably Shakespeare that taught him not to be.
But Beto/Beta has a strategy to show his toughness
FBI Director Kash Patel says he was “blown away” by what he uncovered inside a hidden “burn room” at the bureau’s headquarters, a locked area in the Hoover Building containing thousands of documents tied to the Russia-collusion hoax and other politically sensitive matters.In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, Patel described finding not just one, but seven government “burn bags, ”specially designed containers for destroying classified evidence, along with hard drives belonging to former FBI leaders, including James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page.
“I was blown away,” Patel said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom had an embarrassing rally on Thursday to promote his push for redistricting in his state to help the Democrats.
In addition to not having many people at the rally, Newsom was also upstaged by the Border Patrol making arrests nearby. He flipped out, assuming it was meant as a message to him. He was also upset that someone sent him a "Trump 2028" hat, which he claimed was evidence that President Donald Trump was going to run again. It was a festival of Trump Derangement Syndrome on display.
President Trump on Friday described it as “very nice” that former rival Hillary Clinton promised to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize if he’s able to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without Kyiv being forced to give up territory.
“Well, uh, that was … very nice,” Trump told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier, after a prolonged pause.
“I may have to start liking her again,” the president added of the former first lady, secretary of state and two-time defeated presidential candidate, as he traveled aboard Air Force One for a high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
Friday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that President Donald Trump was a “Kremlin kiss ass” during his Anchorage, Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Swalwell said, “If you’re a Republican in Congress, you just saw a Kremlin kiss ass in the president of the United States. Somebody who squandered an opportunity to confront a ruthless dictator who is killing innocent children and kidnapping innocent children every single day. I don’t know what this meeting accomplished other than taking the Epstein files and inflation out of the news, but you have meetings like this to achieve objectives.
President Donald Trump has said little about his idea of relocating many of the Gaza Strip’s 2 million Palestinians to other countries since he stunned the world by announcing it in February.
But Israel’s leaders have run with it, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at one point listed it as a condition for ending the 22-month war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
He and other Israeli officials present it as a humanitarian measure allowing Palestinians to flee war and hardship, and say it should be voluntary. Israel has been in talks with African countries —
President Trump proclaimed Friday he and Russian President Vladimir Putin made “great progress” toward ending Moscow’s war on Ukraine after meeting for nearly three hours in Alaska — while cautioning “there’s no deal until there’s a deal.”
Trump, 79, and Putin, 72, didn’t publicly mention any details of a preliminary “understanding” toward ending the long-running war, with the US leader saying he would be calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and key European allies to discuss negotiations.
“There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them,” Trump said at a media availability where neither he nor Putin took any questions.

“A Small European Nation Has a Big Explosions Problem,” a New York Times story recently reported. The story clarified that the small nation was the Netherlands, it never did clarify who was behind the over 700 bombings so far this year.Saying it out loud would have been impolite.
European nations, small and great, have all sorts of mysterious unexplained problems that they never used to before. The Netherlands has a rash of bombings. In the UK, acid attacks are up 75%.Much like the bombings in the Netherlands, none of the news stories clarify why a phenomenon associated with a whole other part of the world had migrated to the UK.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper pressured a fellow intel community chief to sign onto a fabricated intelligence assessment that pushed the baseless claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump, according to declassified documents released Wednesday.
Published by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the bombshell Dec. 22, 2016, emails further demonstrate how former President Obama and his intel chiefs weaponized a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to launch the infamous Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Declassified documents previously released by Gabbard showed how the ICA’s “key judgement” that Russia’s 2016 interference was designed “to help President-elect Trump’s election chances” was based on weak and uncorroborated intel —
