Kamala-Nomics Descends on America, and Recent Statements Come Back to Bite Hard

OpenAI released the first public version of ChatGPT in November 2022. Soon after that, schools started banning it out of fear that students would use the AI to cheat. The main problem is ChatGPT's ability to generate text on any topic within seconds, which opened an avenue for cheating. Students could create papers on anything and turn them in without really worrying about being caught. There was no tool from OpenAI that could identify AI-generated text. OpenAI has developed a ChatGPT "text watermarking" tool in the two years since then. A report says the tool has been ready for at least a year and can detect ChatGPT text with 99.9% accuracy. However, OpenAI is afraid to release it after a survey revealed that about a third of ChatGPT users would stop using the chatbot if the anti-cheating measures were implemented. Continue reading...

By Gordon McKelvie & Gabrielle Storey If you enjoy a good bit of gossiping, England in the 15th century would have been a great place to live. The kingdom was awash with rumors and conspiracy theories, some true, some false. Given the century witnessed several instances of popular unrest and civil war, this is unsurprising since conspiracy theories have a tendency to spring up during times of societal crisis. Discussions of conspiracy theories often lead into questions of where they came from, who believed them and how they were spread. Today, the term “fake news” is often used about content used to spread deliberate misinformation. As the tales heard in England’s 15th-century court attest to, such stories have been around for a long time. As a team of historians, we were fascinated by this modern concept in a historic context and wanted to understand how fake news operated in the Middle Ages. We decided to look particularly at rumors associated with queens of that period. Read moreSection: NewsHistoryFamous PeopleRead Later 

Nearly everything on Wall Street is tumbling Monday as fear about a slowing U.S. economy worsens and sets off another sell-off for financial markets around the world.

Former President Donald Trump blamed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the stock market free fall Monday amid U.S. recession fears.

Slow Cooker Brats get infused with flavor after cooking all day. This might be your new favorite way to make fork tender, juicy bratwurst! AN EASY CROCKPOT DINNER RECIPE These simple Slow Cooker Brats make an absolutely delicious dinner! The tanginess of the sauerkraut and the slight sweetness from the apple really makes these super flavorful and a bit more unique than your usual brats and sauerkraut recipes. This is definitely a dinner we don’t mind keeping on repeat! The brats get a chance to really get so tender and juicy without being overcooked and they have time to really soak up the flavors they are cooked in. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  How should I serve these Brats? These Slow Cooker Brats are great when served on a hot dog bun, like I showed in my images. But, they’re perfectly capable of being served plated as a meal. Toss in a few of your favorite sides if you feel necessary, but these are good just as they are. As you’ll see in some images, I made these with Mac and Cheese, but any side will work. I have quite a few different mac and cheese recipes for you to try! KFC Mac and Cheese, White Cheddar Mac and Cheese, Air Fryer Mac and Cheese, Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese or Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese would all work. Do I have to sear the bratwurst first? I highly suggest searing them first before dumping everything in the Crockpot. Searing them gets that nice dark brown color on them while locking in the juices so they don’t dry out as they finish cooking in the Slow Cooker. But, if you’re in a rush, you can skip it. Can I double this recipe? Sure thing! This is a great recipe to make to take to a game day gathering, tail gate, or to feed a large crowd with. I’d recommend doubling all the ingredients and popping it all in an 8-quart Slow Cooker to make sure it all has room to safely cook together. Can I use homemade sauerkraut? Well, of course. Use whatever you enjoy. If you need a few Sauerkraut recipes to choose from, these are my favorite Homemade Sauerkraut (this is my recipe that requires a 2 week fermentation time) and this Quick Sauerkraut (which is much faster than the first option- actually, it’s ready in under an hour!). What can I use in place of the lager beer? Firstly, please use the beer you enjoy! Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) works great or if you enjoy a light beer, that will work too. I also love a nano brew beer that is made by my cousin and his wife (forgive the shameless plug here) – it’s called Torzala and the beer is ‘Polish Victory Lap’. I tested out this recipe with it this past week and it came out so good! If you are in Milwaukee, give them a visit!Also, feel free to swap out the beer for some beef broth instead. Can I leave out the sauerkraut? Yep! If you don’t like sauerkraut, just leave it out. Can I make these Slow Cooker Brats ahead of time? Yes. In fact, this is a wonderful meal to make ahead of time. Sear your brats and toss everything in the Crock Pot the evening before you want to serve this meal. Cover and place into the fridge. Then put everything into the slow cooker in the morning , turn on, and have dinner ready to go by dinnertime. How to store leftover bratwurst? Any leftover bratwurst should be stored appropriately in a container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can store them in a freezer safe bag or container to keep longer, for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) bratwurst  – raw, uncooked bratwurst, not the kind that is already smoked. large sweet onion cloves garlic – I highly recommend fresh garlic here, not the jarred stuff. However, if you are running short on time and need to get this going quickly, then that will work in a pinch. sauerkraut – drained really well and rinsed. If you forget to do this, you’ll end up with a really powerful, possibly overwhelming flavor from the kraut so it is a necessary step unless you enjoy a super strong sauerkraut flavor. Honeycrisp apple – I know this seems like an unusual ingredient but I promise you this works SO well in this recipe. It adds an ever so slight sweetness that balances the tanginess of the kraut. If you want to try a different apple variety, I’d go for a sweet option. I’d steer clear of Granny Smith apples since they are super tart, instead try Gala, Pink Lady, or Fuji apples. I love the great depth of flavor that the Honeycrisp apples offer, both sweet yet tart. I think that’s what really sets these brats apart of other beer brats with sauerkraut recipes. But the apples can be an optional ingredient if you really object to it (but I hope you’ll give it a try first!) lager beer – beer is a natural partner for bratwurst. It infuses flavor but doesn’t bring a strong beer taste. If you need a substitute, please see my Frequently Asked Questions above. light brown sugar – this is optional but keep in mind, we are only using a small amount so it is not going to make it crazy sweet.   whole-grain mustard – I think whole grain mustard really gives these the traditional German flavor (along with the beer and sauerkraut). This is the traditional German flavor that most people are familiar with. if you don’t have a good grainy mustard, you can try using dijon mustard instead. Regular yellow mustard might be a bit too strong in vinegar flavor but if you don’t mind that, you could use that instead. caraway seeds – if you’re using a homemade sauerkraut, or store bought one that already has caraway seeds in it, this can be an optional ingredient. This can also be left out if it’s an ingredient you don’t prefer. HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BRATS Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the brats and sear on both sides. This will take about 6 minutes. You just want them to be charred but not fully cooked (the slow cooker will do that.) Remove the brats and set them aside on a plate. Then add the onions to the skillet and cook until translucent and starting to brown (about 8 minutes or so.) Then add in the garlic to the onions and stir until fragrant (only about 30 seconds for this part) then take the skillet off the heat. To a 6 quart slow cooker add the sauerkraut, apple, beer, brown sugar, mustard, and caraway seeds. Stir to combine. Finally add the seared brats to the slow cooker along with the cooked onions and garlic. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Note: It is recommended to cook on low for best flavor. Serve on buns or just plate it by itself!

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning reversal of their usual rhetoric, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have decided to stop taking credit for the U.S. economy just as the stock market takes a nosedive. “We’ve been doing some soul-searching,” Biden told reporters at an impromptu press conference. “And we’ve come to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, the President doesn’t actually control every aspect of this complex, global economy.” Harris nodded vigorously beside him, adding, “It’s time we admit that when things go well, it’s not always because of us. And when things go poorly, well… have you considered blaming Congress?” The abrupt change in messaging left pundits scrambling and late-night comedians salivating. As the Dow Jones continued its downward spiral, White House staffers were seen frantically shredding charts and graphs previously used to tout economic successes. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump wasted no time in claiming credit for the market downturn. “I built this economy so tremendously that even I couldn’t keep it up forever,” he posted on Truth Social. Biden supporters, however, were quick to defend the pivot. “This is what real leadership looks like,” tweeted MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. “Taking credit when things are good and deftly sidestepping responsibility when they’re not. It’s a delicate balancing act.” As the press conference continued, Biden waxed philosophical about the nature of economic systems. “You see, folks, the economy is like a bowl of oatmeal. Sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s cold, and sometimes it’s just right. Right now, it’s a little lumpy, and that’s okay.” Critics from the opposition were less impressed. “This administration has been patting itself on the back for every uptick in the market while blaming others for every downturn,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “It’s like watching someone take credit for the sunrise and then blame the moon for the night.” The press conference ended abruptly when Biden’s teleprompter malfunctioned, leaving the President momentarily speechless. Vice President Harris quickly stepped in, urging everyone to remain calm. “The President and I are fully committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that we are no longer associated with the economic performance of this nation. Thank you.” As reporters filed out, one could hear the distant sound of stock market tickers plummeting, a fitting soundtrack to the administration’s latest exercise in rhetorical acrobatics.

VATICAN CITY — In an unexpected and unprecedented statement, the Pope* has condemned the Paris Olympic opening ceremony for what he calls a glaring omission: the lack of an on-stage abortion performed by a young transgender athlete. “I loved the Olympic opening ceremony,” the Pope* declared, gazing wistfully at a replay of the event. “It included everything that I love and support. The celebration of diversity, the vibrant displays of culture, the progressive messages woven throughout. But they dropped the ball by not having a young transgender having an abortion on the table. Then, it would have honored everything I value.” The Vatican press office confirmed that the Pope* was deeply disappointed by the oversight, suggesting that such an inclusion would have perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the modern Church. “We were so close to achieving a true reflection of our values,” sighed Vatican spokesperson Cardinal Progressive. “This ceremony had it all: inclusivity, acceptance, and celebration of all identities. But it fell short of representing our full commitment to reproductive rights.” The Pope*’s comments have sparked a global conversation, with many questioning what exactly the role of the Church should be in contemporary society. “We were thrilled to see the inclusion of various marginalized communities,” said one Olympic organizer. “But we were unaware that the Pope* had such specific requirements for the ceremony. We’ll certainly take his feedback into account for future events.” Reaction from the public has been mixed. Some progressive Catholics expressed disappointment that the Church’s progressive agenda was not fully showcased. “I was really looking forward to seeing a live abortion as a symbol of our commitment to modern values,” said Sister Mary Liberal, a nun from San Francisco. “It’s a missed opportunity.” Conservative Catholics, however, were bewildered by the Pope*’s remarks. “I’m not sure what’s happening in the Vatican these days,” said Father Traditionalist. “But I’m fairly certain this isn’t what we were taught in seminary.” The Olympic Committee has yet to respond to the Pope*’s critique, but rumors suggest they might be planning a special segment in the closing ceremony to make amends. “We’re considering various options to ensure we meet the Pope*’s expectations,” an anonymous source from the committee revealed. “Perhaps a symbolic gesture or a short performance piece highlighting the intersection of reproductive rights and athletic prowess.” As the world continues to digest the Pope*’s surprising stance, one thing is clear: the boundaries of religious and cultural expression are being pushed further than ever before, with the Vatican leading the charge into uncharted territory. In closing his statement, the Pope* offered a hopeful message: “We will continue to advocate for the representation of all aspects of modern life, no matter how controversial. For it is in the acknowledgment of our diverse experiences that we find true unity.” The world waits with bated breath to see how this bold new vision of the Church will unfold in future global events.
