Once again, there is no legal foundation for this, and it violates free speech. English is not our official language. Every language used publically anywhere on Earth is used by people in the USA and should be, except in uses like aircraft comms where universal understanding matters.

AI is depends on what it was trained with. No real imagination, Thank goodness. As AI is used more, there will be no need for human input. Art will be reduced to the level of the prints in motel rooms. Also, data centers consume as much power and water as cities. A true Lose-Lose proposition.

I'm old enough to remember this being settled by an Honest Supreme Court during Vietnam War protests. Flag burning is exactly the kind of disturbing free speech protected by the Firat Amendment. These days, of course the Constitution is just whatever Donny2Dolls says it is.

The idea of having the name changed was to identify as a non-agressor nation to the world. This is more proof that TACO wants to conquer our neighbors so he can be Emperor of the Americas.

The TV market is already too dominated by a very few, usually Right Wing/MAGA corporate giants. In Salt Lake City, there are 2 Church owned stations and 1 PBS; all the rest are run by corporations own 200 or so each. More mergers will destroy debate of issues. Without PBS no honest reporting.

The one slim hope Palestinians have is in releasing all the hostages at once, thereby erasing Bibi's excuse for the mass murders. I don't think that will turn him around, though as he really intends to sweep Palestine clear of all but his Chosen.

TACO has made 3B+ since January. The President is required to have no business or income outside of his expenses and salary paid by the federal government and set by Congessional Act. There is no universe where that would not disqualify from holding any office or connection to the government.
