The Trump administration will never admit this, but the biggest reason that Trump is a fan of AI is because of how easily AI can conjure up images that make Donald Trump look great.

The image you're looking at now of Trump as Superman was posted by him last summer, but it's been just one of many, many AI images in which Trump looks better than anyone else.

Just a few weeks back, we had of course Donald Trump as Jesus, excuse me, I mean Donald Trump as a doctor healing a patient while people around him pray and there is a strange creature in the background at the top.

You may have seen people on TikTok or Instagram talk about a sleep hack called "sun gating." It's a simple concept:

Go outside soon after you wake up and let the morning sunlight hit your eyes, without looking directly at the sun.

While the name may be new, the science behind it isn't. Health experts have studied how morning sunlight exposure affects your body for years.

It turns out that getting bright, natural light early in the day can help reset your internal clock (called your circadian rhythm) which plays an important role in how well you sleep and how you feel during the day.

1/3rd of our fellow Americans would rather be poor and homeless because they would be force to share with Persons of Color.

As Chris Hayes argued on his program All In, T*ump's base, approximately 37% of the voting population, is effectively "holding the rest of the country hostage".

"We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs.

Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs.

"I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Billy Moyers quoting LBJ

So, bottom line, Corporatists have for decades built upon this racial prejudice to finally obtain a Voter Base that they could control with fears of minorities, immigrants, an anyone else they can give said Base an opportunity to look down on, such as women or Democrats or trans or gay or women who have abortions.

Divide and Conquer is alive and well in Project25 Trump's 'Murica.

"Carlson said he believed both the US and Israel were failing their own citizens.

"I would like a democracy in the United States like I'd like one in Israel.

Israel is not a democracy; the United States apparently is not a democracy either. Our government keeps doing things that people don't want, so that's not democracy; it's the opposite of democracy."

"Of course, Israel is not a democracy in any sense. There are millions of people who live under Israeli control who cannot vote," he told Segal.

"These places which Israel has controlled since 1967 have people living in them who have no control over the government that controls their lives, which is true, it's not a democracy."

Israel "is probably the most violent country in the world," he said.

When Segal said Israel was acting in self-defense, Carlson responded that "no country has boasted more about killing its political opponents than Israel."

"Israel makes a public relations campaign out of boasting about killing its opponents."

Carlson also accused Trump of yielding to Netanyahu over Iran.

"Why did Trump let a nation of 9 million people drag a nation of 350 million people into a war that would change its future, and that is bad for the United States?"

"It's wrong that I'm paying for Israel's actions," he said. "There's no reason the United States should be sending any money at all to Israel and particularly not to its military."

The Israeli prime minister pushed the US president, he said, "who turned out to be far weaker than I understood, into a war that hurts the United States."
