That was really good.  Said what I figured he would say.  It reinforces what we all think about democrats, they all think they're the smartest person in the room.

German public broadcaster ran fake AI-generated clip of ‘ICE troops’ arresting a migrant family
https://rmx.news/article/german-public-broadcaster-ran-fake-ai-generated-clip-of-ice-troops-arresting-a-migrant-family/

Quote
The German public broadcaster ZDF has admitted to a significant editorial oversight after its flagship news program, Heute Journal, aired AI-generated images featuring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arresting an immigrant family.

After uproar on social media over the fake news segment, which included a visible OpenAI’ “Sora” watermark on the screen, the broadcaster expressed regret over the error and has since updated the report to remove the synthetic content.

Critics pointed out that while it is becoming harder to differentiate fake AI content from real events, the appearance of the Sora watermark made it clear that this was AI content.

ZDF is using AI video to create ICE arrest a family. It is fake. Bunch of crooks and liars.

Gov. Pritzker's cousin steps down at Hyatt over Epstein relationship

Quote
The Department of Justice belatedly released a massive trove of documents related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last month. The documents provide damning insights into the dead pedophile as well as his network of former business associates and friends.

One of the affluent individuals whose name comes up repeatedly in the Epstein files is Thomas Pritzker — cousin of Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker — who has served as executive chairman of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation since August 2004.

The 75-year-old billionaire revealed to the board of the hotel chain on Monday that he was retiring, effective immediately, to protect Hyatt from the fallout of his relationship with the dead pedophile.

In his letter to the board, which was reviewed by the New York Times, Pritzker said that "good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret."

Thomas Pritzker is resigned as Hyatt CEO due to connection with Jeffrey Epstein. His cousin is Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's cousin.

Thomas Massie, Who Loves to Talk About His 'Principles,' Just Made Quite the Admission to Politico
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2026/02/18/massie-praise-me-n2671491

Thomas Massie gave an interview to Politico yesterday, in which the publication said he goes "toe-to-toe" with high-ranking members of the Trump administration including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Thomas Massie has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and Pam Bondi — and he says there’s more to come.

The rebel Republican shares his ominous prediction for the GOP, his strategy to dig even deeper into the Epstein files and more👇 https://t.co/PpOfuFAttB

— POLITICO (@politico) February 17, 2026
There was one passage that stood out among many conservatives, one that dealt a major blow to the claims that Massie is operating on principles. Namely, Massie's vote was contingent on whether or not Speaker Mike Johnson would publicly praise him for releasing the Epstein files.

Thomas Massie is a flake like most politicians.

Pritzker noted further that he "exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner."

The retiring Hyatt executive chairman appears to have maintained a friendship and remained in frequent contact with Epstein long after the sex offender pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution.

Speaking of contacting Epstein after his guilty plea, that was what Whoopi Goldberg did. To so many Libs/Progs, continuing association with him wasn't a big deal until they tried tarring Trump with his associations ... which were before Trump spoke to the local sheriff about Epstein in 2006. Libs and Progs are getting snared by their own guilt-by-association narrative.

     I recall Will Pitt suggesting that all Dems stand and turn their back to Bush, and he called that the "greatest idea since the New Deal." That is a quote.

     It's a shame Pitt drank himself to death. I wanted more of the crazy.

The lyingly named Truth Out is still around. I occasionally see one of their loony-posts in my FB feed.
