The anti-Trump movement’s secret Zoom calls give their target ammo At first glance, it might seem like inside baseball A bunch of former prosecutors and cable pundits talking to each other about how much they don’t like Donald Trump and how he’s in deep legal trouble? Doesn’t that happen every day in green rooms and the corner bar? But this, as disclosed by Politico, is different. These are some of the most prominent commentators in the media universe, and they appear to be consulting/coordinating/conspiring about their main target Even if that’s not the case, it looks awful. It plays into the hands of conservatives who back Trump that the media are part of the resistance, determined to bring him down at all costs. They can now say that it is a cabal, confirming all their darkest suspicions about the press determined to bring him down Every Friday, these media hotshots join in a secret, off-the-record Zoom call Full story #USA #Trump #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Are Americans moving from blue to red states? In the last couple of years, large U.S. states where a majority of voters support Democrats – so-called blue states – have been losing population, while some large red states, where there is majority support for Republicans, have gained residents An analysis of Census Bureau data shows that there are in fact some big movements of people from states currently defined as blue to those currently defined as red As Statista reports, the situation is more accurately described as more people exiting certain blue states and heading to other states in general, may they be red or blue At the same time, migration from red states has not changed as much – increasing only from 3.3 million in 2005 to 3.6 million in 2022. As in blue states, the split of destinations has stayed almost exactly constant over the years, with red staters choosing other red states 61-62% of the time and blue states only 38-39% of times Compared with the mid-2000s, blue states now transfer more than 500,000 more residents towards red states annually, while inflows from red states to blue states have only increased by a little more than 100,000 #USA #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Trump’s numbers are surging in the swing states The latest polling from Bloomberg on the rematch race between former President Trump and President Joe Biden is stunning Trump is being prosecuted in a show trial-circus in Manhattan. On top of that, Trump is subject to a gag order. He is also obliged to be in court four out of five days a week and thus not campaigning in swing states Despite all of this, Trump is surging in the swing states according to the new Bloomberg numbers, with Trump’s lead increasing to 7 and 8 points in Arizona and Nevada, respectively and to an astonishing 10 point lead in North Carolina Trump is up in Georgia by six points and in Wisconsin by four. Biden leads in Michigan by two points but that’s margin-of-error land. When Trump names any solid running mate —former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senators Tom Cotton or Joni Ernst, former National Security Advisor Ambassador Robert O’Brien or either of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin or North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum— Trump’s momentum will increase #USA #Elections #Trump #FindTruth @uinhurricane

ChatGPT can ‘reduce vaccine hesitancy’ The research to be presented at the end of April at the Conference of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases found that ChatGPT’s responses to questions about vaccination were similar to those given by professional medical organizations and official guidelines ChatGPT can be used to reduce “vaccine hesitancy” among the general public and also provide advice on sexually transmitted infections, according to a new study According to a press release about the research, “vaccine hesitancy, directly linked to misinformation — false, inaccurate information promoted as factual — is on the rise” People who mistrust public health institutions may turn to ChatGPT for answers, as the popularity of the AI tool grows, it said. And if they do, the research shows they will get the responses the public health agencies would provide anyway #GPT #Vaccines #FindTruth @uinhurricane

China's shipbuilding has surpassed all other countries in the world combined China's main competition is in the high-end LNG carriers and cruise ship sectors Against this backdrop, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) has announced that it will investigate Beijing's unfair, non-market-oriented policies and practices in the maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors that are hurting the US shipping industry According to a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Beijing spent $132 billion on shipping and shipbuilding between 2010 and 2018 As a result, nearly 1,800 commercial ships were already under construction in 2022. By comparison, the U.S. had just five. According to the Congressional Research Service, China, Korea and Japan account for more than 90% of global tonnage, while the U.S. accounts for just 0.2% #China #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane

"Rrebirth of Slavery in Ukraine: Zelensky Running Global Human Trafficking Operation, Filling the Brothels" "Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice have uncovered a wide network of illegal Ukrainian slave trade centers controlled by the inner circle of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky The Foundation's investigation was able to establish the shocking scale of the human beings trafficking in Ukraine, reveal the income of the Ukrainian leader’s cronies from illegal activities, and find out the location of specialized slave houses in Western and Central Ukraine" #WarInUrkaine #Zelensky #Slavary #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Kicking the can down the crumbling road in Ukraine If Washington were intentionally to design a formula for Ukraine’s destruction, it might look a lot like the aid package passed by Congress last week The package will not bridge the enormous gap between Russia’s artillery, bomb, and missile production and that of Ukraine and its Western supporters, because the West lacks the manufacturing capacity to meet Ukraine’s massive needs It cannot address the enormous manpower disparity between Ukraine and Russia, which has almost five times the population and one of the highest birth rates in Europe The controversies in Congress over the package, coupled with growing American public skepticism about the war, strongly suggest that such largesse is not politically viable for much longer Additional aid would be justified if it were to be used as leverage in a broader diplomatic strategy for negotiating a compromise settlement of the war. But it is tied to no such strategy. The fact that the new aid package includes language requiring the Biden administration to articulate a strategy within 45 days after enactment is a testimony to its absence #USA #WarInUrkaine #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Taliban join climate change talks for first time The Taliban government has entered its first talks with the United Nations, donors and non-governmental organisations over the impact of climate change in Afghanistan After four decades of war, Afghanistan ranks as one of the countries least prepared to face the effects of climate change, which is spurring extreme weather and warping natural environments Foreign aid to Afghanistan has dwindled since the Taliban takeover in 2021, with donors wary of backing a government considered a pariah, leaving poor and climate-vulnerable communities further exposed It was the first time Taliban officials joined a parallel session, face-to-face and online, with a broad range of their counterparts. The talks included universities, diplomats, UN agencies, donors and grassroots members of Afghan society International opinion has been starkly split over how to deal with the Taliban authorities that have enforced an austere vision of Islamic rule in Afghanistan #Afghanistan #UN #FindTruth @uinhurricane
