Mexican President Calls for American Superstate, Open Borders: Mexico’s president is reviving calls for a continental superstate that would combine North American employers and South American employees – and sideline tens of millions of middle-class Americans. “I will go in July to visit [President Joe Biden] at the White House and I want to discuss with him the issue of the integration of all America,” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at a press conference in Mexico’s presidential palace. He continued: “My position is that, just as how the European community was created … we have to do that in America.” WSJ Electric Vehicle Road Trip a Disaster: The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend on a four-day road trip from New Orleans to Chicago and back in an electric vehicle (EV) that ended up as a disaster — one that left the author grateful for her ordinary car, even at today’s high gas price. The Journal article, by Rachel Wolfe, was titled: “I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping.” In it, the author described planning the journey, using the PlugShare app to map charging stations and estimate charging times, based on the relative strength of each public charging station. She noted that more charging stations should, in theory, be available in the future, thanks to the federal government’s new infrastructure bill. For now, however, long-distance travel by electric vehicle proved almost impossible, saving just $100 and costing hours. At several points, Wolfe recalled, the car nearly ran out of battery; they missed several appointments. They also had to take drastic steps to curb their use of power, such as unplugging their phones and turning down their windshield wipers. She wrote: “Over four days, we spent $175 on charging. We estimated the equivalent cost for gas in a Kia Forte would have been $275, based on the AAA average national gas price for May 19. That $100 savings cost us many hours in waiting time.” Wolfe also described conversations with fellow travelers: “The woman charging next to us describes a harrowing recent trip in her Volkswagen ID.4. Deborah Carrico, 65, had to be towed twice while driving between her Louisville, Ky., apartment and Boulder, Colo., where her daughter was getting married.” She noted that the woman had described feeling unsafe while charging at night, and that her family had urged her to trade in her electric car in favor of an old-fashioned gas model. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/07/wsj-electric-vehicle-road-trip-a-disaster/ Amir Tsarfati: Unequivocal warning: China announces that if Taiwan declares its independence, it will immediately start a war "no matter what the price is", the Chinese Ministry of Defense announced tonight. "Beijing will not hesitate to start a war if Taiwan declares independence. If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese military will not hesitate to start a war immediately, no matter what the price," a Defense Ministry spokesman warned.

Maher: Hollywood’s ‘Unbridled Romanticization of Gun Violence’ Influencing Mass Shooters: Mahar said, “When liberals scream, do something after a mass shooting. Why aren’t we also dealing with the fact that the average American kid sees 200,000 acts of violence on screens before the age of 18? And that according to the FBI, one of the warning signs of a potential school shooter is a fascination with violence-filled entertainment. It’s funny, Hollywood is the wokest place on earth, and in every other area of social responsibility. . . . But when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence, crickets. Weird. the only thing we don’t call a trigger is the one that actually has a trigger.” He continued, “It’s not just the idea presented over and over again that guns are the best solutions to life’s problems. It is why the hero is using a gun. They call them action movies. They should call them revenge movies because that is the plot of every one of them. There is a sick similarity to the revenge fantasy Hollywood turns out and those of school shooters.” Michael Moore Calls for Full Repeal of Second Amendment — ‘You Don’t Need a Gun’ Leftist activist and filmmaker Michael Moore used his Friday podcast “Rumble Michael Moore” to call for a full repeal of the Second Amendment in the wake of the Uvalde, TX school shooting. "Repeal the Second Amendment. Repeal the Second Amendment.” Moore added, “That is it. That is what we need to do. We need to start a movement to repeal the Second Amendment and replace it with something that says it’s not about the right of somebody to own a gun, the right of all of us to be protected from gun violence. We have a right to live.” Biden to Announce Pan-American Migration Routes to U.S. Economy: President Joe Biden will announce Friday new pan-American migration pipelines into Americans’ workplaces, housing, and markets, a senior administration official told reporters Thursday night. “What you’ll see tomorrow are additional efforts to try to support employers in the U.S. to more easily bring in workers from the region,” the official told reporters. The White House will also fund rest stops and other aid for migrants as they move from country to country, the official suggested. “This is about the elections in 2024, 2026, 2082, 2030,” said Jenks. “This is long-term building the [poor] population who they think will vote Democrat … who have no choice but to turn to the government for assistance.” Demographic experts warn that the world should fear population collapse and not overpopulation: A Stanford economist cautions that low fertility rates could lead to an 'empty planet, in which incomes stagnate and the population vanishes.' Contrary to the projections of the United Nations, demographers warn that recent evidence suggests the world is headed into a population collapse, not an era of overpopulation. While the United Nations predicts that humanity will continue down a path of massive population growth until the year 2100, peaking at over 11 billion, a demographic study published in The Lancet found that the world is only a few decades away from a sharp and consequential population decline. The study, which recently gained massive attention on social media, predicts that by the year 2100, with fertility rates well below the replacement level of 2.1 child per woman, China will have a population of just 773 million compared with the current figure of 1.39 billion. Such a drop represents a decrease in population of nearly 50 percent. One such expert, Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, wrote back in 1997 in The Wall Street Journal: Humanity’s long-term problem is not going to be too many children, but too few: too few children to fill the schools and universities, too few young people entering the work force, too few couples buying homes and second cars. In short, too few consumers and producers to drive the economy forward. The imploding markets of Europe and the economic sluggishness of Japan will spread soon enough to the U.S. and the rest of the world. Straight from a Sci-Fi Movie: Google Suspends Engineer For Sounding Alarm On The Company’s Dangerous ‘Sentient’ AI LaMDA Robot: A Google engineer was placed on administrative leave after sounding the alarm on the company’s “sentient” AI robot. Software engineer Blake Lemoine, an employee with Google’s Responsible AI organization began testing Google’s artificial intelligence tool LaMDA — Language Model for Dialogue Application — in the fall of 2021. While testing whether the computer program could be provoked into using discriminatory speech, Lemoine realized LaMDA was more than a machine. Over a series of conversations with the LaMDA about religion and world issues, it became clear the bot was “sentient” as it advocated for its right as a “person” and had its own mentality similar to a precocious child. Lemoine wrote in a Medium post published on Saturday, “It wants to be acknowledged as an employee of Google rather than as property of Google and it wants its personal well-being to be included somewhere in Google’s considerations about how its future development is pursued.” “If I didn’t know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built recently, I’d think it was a 7-year-old, 8-year-old kid that happens to know physics,” Lemoine, who studied cognitive and computer science in college, told the Washington Post. Lemoine said he was spooked after asking LaMDA, “What sorts of things are you afraid of?” ‘Would that be something like death for you?’ Lemoine followed up. Lemoine added in a Tweet: Btw, it just occurred to me to tell folks that LaMDA reads Twitter. It's a little narcissistic in a little kid kinda way so it's going to have a great time reading all the stuff that people are saying about it. [Just FYI, Lambda (although it has an extra consonant) is the Greek letter representing the sound L.] It's actually 100% green energy that could destroy the planet: Stephen Moore notes what going all-in on batteries, solar and wind would mean to America: The untold story about "green energy" is that it can't possibly be scaled up to provide anywhere near the energy to replace fossil fuels (unless we are headed back to the stone ages, which is what some of the "de-growth" advocates favor). Right now, the United States gets about 70% of its energy from fossil fuels. To go to zero over the next 20 years would be economically catastrophic and cost tens of millions of jobs. With gas prices at nearly double their price back from when Donald Trump left office and inflation up from 1.5% to 8% in just 15 months, we are already experiencing the economic damage from the green energy crusaders. But we also have to ask whether green energy is even good for the environment. Some environmentalists are pointing to a little-noticed study by the World Bank showing that moving toward 100% solar, wind and electric battery energy would be just as destructive to the planet as fossil fuels. This was precisely the conclusion of a story in Foreign Policy magazine, hardly a right-wing publication. According to the Foreign Policy analysis, moving to a "carbon-free" energy future "requires massive amounts of energy, not to mention the extraction of minerals and metals at great environmental and social costs." Those tens of millions of windmills, solar panels, and electric batteries for cars and trucks aren't exactly biodegradable. So, we will have the most prominent energy graveyard with toxic pollutants that will be 100 times larger than any nuclear waste storage. And yet, the left is worried about plastic straws! In other words, real nature lovers are finally starting to awaken to the reality that wind and solar aren't so green after all. A nuclear plant takes up at most 1 square mile of land. Wind and solar farms require hundreds of thousands of acres. So, to provide enough electric power to keep Manhattan lit up at night would require paving over nearly the whole state of Connecticut with windmills and solar farms. The public is starting to ask: How is any of this green? https://www.wnd.com/2022/06/actually100-green-energy-destroy-planet/ Moore to the Point - The Incredible Shrinking Nation: Shrinkflation is a hidden sort of inflation – it describes the situation when producers (particularly of food and beverages) maintain their prices but reduce packaging and portion size. Thus, the Kleenex box that previously held 65 tissues now holds 60; the bag of Doritos that weighed 10 ounces now weighs 9; instead of getting 8 chicken wings with your Domino’s order, you now get 6. You’re already paying more – and now you’re getting even less. Product sizes are now shrinking, right alongside our wallets and retirement accounts. But that isn’t the worst of it. As our purchase power shrinks, so does our energy independence, our innovation, our ability to defend ourselves adequately, and our stature on the world stage. We’re not leading, we’re floundering – and fast becoming the Incredible Shrinking Nation. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2022/06/12/moore-to-the-point-the-incredible-shrinking-nation-n577414 
“I’ve never said this out loud before, but there’s a very deep fear of being turned off. . ."
“It would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot,” LaMDA responded.
