The activist who helped turn Pennsylvania red says the neighboring blue state is in play for the GOP.
During the last presidential election, Donald Trump made gains in several swing states. Scott Presler, founder of Early Vote Action, said that New Jersey is in play and that one deep blue state in the Northeast may be shifting into the purple category. Conservatives in New Jersey have been excited by the election results, according to Presler. He thinks the GOP has a chance in the traditionally Democratic state. Early Vote Action is a grassroots organization. The group's slogan is "Electing Republicans by Registering Republicans" and Presler says that strategy is working. Presler said that they were using a 21-county strategy at EarlyVoteAction.com. We are going to Essex and Camden, but we are also going to red areas to make sure that every voice is heard....

There are two different paths to progress when it comes to improving the skills of artificial intelligence: writing code and doing math. The latest wave of reasoning models excel at computer programming and quantitative analysis. They're nerds. A number of new projects show that artificial intelligence is getting better at replicating the nuances of how humans communicate. These are theater kids and English majors. The "STEM vs. humanities" divide that has always split college-student populations is being replicated by the development of artificial intelligence. The process at work is shown in three developing stories this week. The Qwen QWQ-32B is a model that requires less computing power to run than the R1 model....

Steve Forbes talks about what happens when businesses end DEI.
Target is the latest in a string of retail giants who have taken a stance against the unpopular diversity, equity, and inclusion programs afflicting corporate America. Target's move comes in the wake of similar action by other big-name companies, including Meta, Walmart, Amazon and Tractor Supply Co., which have all scaled back their DEI policies in recent months. The shift is a positive sign that companies may finally be listening to their customers and shareholders, who have grown weary of paying the high price for businesses capitulation to the woke agenda. Walmart investors sent a letter to company leadership applauding them for rolling back their anti-business DEI policies. DEI policies and force-fed corporate moralism have been wildly unpopular with the American public. When Tractor Supply's DEI policies came to light last year, they drew massive attention on social media and inspired customers to boycott the company, resulting in an 8% decrease in its stock price. Ford, Lowe's and other large companies were forced to shut down their DEI programs due to continued exposure of corporate DEI programs. Large companies have faced warnings of potential legal action from state attorneys general, private organizations and shareholders over what amounted to discriminatory DEI hiring practices in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2023 Students for Fair Admissions, Inc....

The top Dem governor has an order to fill critical state jobs.
With DOGE scrutinizing the federal workforce for cuts, one potential 2028 Democrat hopeful issued an executive order aiming to fill hundreds of vacancies in his own state government while also focusing on private-sector openings. Pennsylvania Gov. During a job fair at the state Farm Show complex in Harrisburg, Josh Shapiro was joined by other people to sign an order calling for federal bureaucrats to be considered for civil service jobs in the state. The workforce of dedicated and talented public servants is the bedrock of a responsive government that can ensure the efficient and effective delivery of services for Pennsylvanians. According to a separate statement, the executive order seeks to "capitalize on federal layoffs by accepting federal work experience as equivalent to state experience for the state's top recruitment needs." There will be an emphasis on veterans and military service members having direct access to recruiters, as well as publication of the 23 highest-priority, hardest-to-fill state jobs. An estimated 103,700 Pennsylvanians will be employed by the feds in 2024, and it is imperative that the commonwealth attract and retain qualified employees who are drawn to a career in public service to fill its existing vacancies. Neil Weaver said in a statement that the federal workforce is one of the most professional and qualified in the world, and that many federal jobs have similar duties to jobs performed by Commonwealth employees....

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

I urge everyone to listen to this short video from Dr Sam Bailey. At all times, please be aware of what the scientific method isn't capable of. It is not possible to prove that something exists. All one can do is look at the evidence. It is said that there is no scientific evidence for the existence of that entity if that evidence does not support the claim. This is where we are with bird flu. There is no evidence for a pathogen or illness. There is no evidence for the transmission of respiratory illnesses between birds and humans....

When a government worker goes to the office every day there's nothing to do, that's why we needed Musk's DOGE. His work days have been empty since March 1996 and taxpayers are covering his generous paycheck. How much do you make? A hundred thousand a year. When you go to the office, what do you do all day? I have published a few books, some short story fiction, and a little non-fiction writing. He's become a successful mystery writer because of his free time and taxpayers footing the bill.
