The witness was riding in her mother's car while passing through on Rt. 56 in Laurel Ridge State Park‚ PA when she observed a Bigfoot among the trees. The location is in Cambria County.The following account was forwarded to me:"The date was September 21‚ 2022‚ at around noon. We were driving back from an appointment that afternoon and I always look at hillsides and power line clearings for any kind of animal and I have done so since I was a child. We were coming through the Laurel Ridge State Park area on Rt. 56 in Cambria County‚ Pennsylvania. (Near the Laurel Highland Hiking Trail around the trailhead).I just happened to look to the left on the embankment because something told me to look in that direction and I saw a dark brownish figure standing in between two trees with its back facing the road‚ and it had to have been at least 6-6.5 feet tall from what I can estimate. It had one arm leaning up against the tree to the right of it and it was hunching down to pick something up. There was a defined head on it like an ape‚ round towards the base and slowly went up to a dull point at the top.I instantly shouted‚ "Stop! We have to turn around." My mother had no clue what was going on and I told her that I swore I just saw a Bigfoot back there in between two trees up on the hill. So we turned to sound further up the road and went back to see if I was seeing what I thought I was or if it was an actual person‚ however by the time I got back to the spot‚ it was gone. I’m so mad I didn’t have a camera rolling and it happened so quickly I didn’t have time to even grab my phone to take a photo. After I processed what I had seen I started feeling excited‚ but almost terrified at the same time if that makes sense."NOTE: An original report was made to the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project by the witness. The witness contacted me recently. I'm going to assign a team investigator to check out the area. There have been multiple sightings in the area over the years‚ including cryptid canines‚ big cats‚ and UFOs.

A couple is driving home on backroads in the Pocono Mountains area of Pennsylvania. They observe 2 young girls dressed in century-old clothing. Getting nearer‚ they notice that they have black eyes.The following account was forwarded to me:"In 2013 I moved with my family into a 6-bedroom home on 14 acres in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. My father and I noticed very weird things going on the second we moved in‚ but my mother and sister seemed to not notice these things.There is some evidence that the entire area where this house is located is haunted. The area is known for its early indigenous tribe activity.My uncle on my mother’s side and his girlfriend come to visit my parent's home. They do this quite often as my parents always have people over for beer‚ games‚ bonfires‚ etc. I just want to start off by saying my uncle is a non-believer. I have never seen him really scared of anything or anyone.My uncle and his girlfriend are playing foosball with my parents when they realize it is 12:30 am so they decide to head home. They take all back roads and once they turn onto Running Valley Road (6 minutes from the house). My uncle’s girlfriend saw two figures (they were pretty far away at this point) but it was two small figures waiting to cross the road. Just to mention there was nothing out here. No houses (besides one abandoned that was still two miles up the road ) Only thing in the vicinity was a cave. These figures were attempting to cross the road to go into the woods‚ which was very odd because of the time and location.They are now approaching these figures (headlights start to shine directly on them). Both my uncle and his girlfriend‚ see two young girls aged 9-11 approximately. One much bigger than the other. Wearing what my uncle best describes as “Early 1900s church clothing.” Like dresses to the knee‚ with white cotton shawls or cropped sweaters‚ and flats. Weird right? WTF are two 10-year-olds doing at 12:30 am in the middle of nowhere wearing church clothing? They also noticed the bigger child had her arms wrapped around the smaller one. Like you would do if she was hurt‚ scared‚ or cold?At this point‚ my uncle's girlfriend is like‚ “It’s children‚ we need to stop and help!” Now at this point‚ the truck is almost right next to the little girls. Both had their heads held down. So then the bigger of the two starts to pick her head up to look at the passing vehicle. Then both my uncle and his girlfriend noticed the girl had black eyes!  She says‚ “WTF was that? You saw that right? OMG turn around and go back right now.” My uncle was scared‚ took off‚ and didn't turn back.They get home and get into an argument because she wants to drive back and see what is up. She grabbed her own car keys and my uncle basically was like‚ “You're not going back there‚ we are never going on that road again.”He calls my parents in an extreme panic and tells them and they start bugging him because they know he would never lie or be THAT freaked out if it wasn’t warranted. So my mom starts to tell me everything (mind you‚ my family knows NOTHING about black-eyed kids‚ never heard of it before). I send my mom an article to forward to my uncle with some of the very basic information."NOTE: I'm not sure if these we corporeal girls with black eyes or if they were a manifestation of spirit energy. Either way‚ it's a creepy encounter.

A couple is taking a walk‚ at night‚ in a nature area near Eastern Kentucky University. They observe a white‚ possibly hairless 'Not Deer' with a bizarre body shape and unnatural eyes.I received the following account:"In the late Fall of 2016‚ I was in college at Eastern Kentucky University. My now fiancé and I wanted to spend some time together one night. She came to Richmond‚ KY to come to see me and we decided to go for a walk around the Taylor Fork Ecology Area that was a few miles off campus.We tried to drive into the park but her car (Volkswagen Beetle) had trouble going over the poorly maintained gravel road leading into the area‚ so we parked at a nearby church and walked up the same gravel road instead.About 5-10 minutes into the walk we heard something moving in the brush off to the side so we stopped and I shined my light in the direction I heard the noise and saw something I couldn’t recognize. From the ground to its head it was about 4 feet high and had a shape somewhere in between a female deer and some kind of tall slender dog. It had eyes that glowed yellowish white in the light of my phone‚ and had stark white skin‚ like there was no fur. The body was deer-shaped but the eyes looked like they faced forward like a predator. That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around. I wish I had taken a video or photo but we were terrified and without thinking we turned around and went in the opposite direction‚ walking quickly.Then I heard footsteps on the gravel behind us. I grabbed her hand and we ran all the way back down the path and made it to her car. I know this is kind of a long-winded story but if anyone has seen something similar or has an idea of what this animal could have been‚ it’s been on my mind ever since."

The following case was forwarded to me by my colleague C. Radu. I contacted the original webmaster who permitted me to repost the incident and particulars. I also added more information."In the course of years of intensive research and subsequent lecturing about the reptilian influence in the UFO phenomena‚ this researcher has documented hundreds of cases regarding reptilian "alien" contact. According to the statistical analysis of these reports‚ the reptilian species appear to be split in their attitude towards humanity.Many reptilian "aliens" appear to people as non-emotional creatures intent on performing acts that are considered by humans as evil or malicious. Some reptilians‚ on the other hand‚ contact humans and engage in acts considered benevolent or highly spiritual. These contrasting reports indicate that‚ although we may live above an underground (and dimensional) domain that is managed by a primarily negative species‚ just as within the human race‚ some reptilians are attempting to shift the balance of power towards a positive polarity.When a person encounters a reptilian "alien" that displays hatred or contempt towards them‚ it is extremely difficult to try to get the experiencer to recognize this duality in their behavior or to accept the possibility that benevolent reptilians exist. In contrast‚ when an individual makes contact with a benevolent reptilian‚ they tend to believe that all reptilians are spiritually enlightened and welcome reptilian "alien" contact without reservation. This can be extremely dangerous to our being able to maintain an objective perspective regarding this phenomenon.This report is written for the experiencer who believes that all reptilians are beautiful and wonderful beings. Beware‚ they are not all alike. Some reptilians‚ physical or non-physical‚ are very evil creatures that are intent on causing physical and psychological torture. Many women and men have been their targets. Some of their victims survive to live a normal life‚ while others endure endless days and nights of terrifying memories. If your beliefs are that the reptilians are only harbingers of beauty‚ love‚ and healing‚ however‚ it is vital to your soul to read the following."Case: Interdimensional Beings Attacking Human Female.Subject: Clarita Villanueva‚ FemaleLocation: Manila‚ PhilippinesDate: May‚ 1951Witnesses:Dr. Marianna Lana (Attending Physician)‚ Arsenio Lascon (Mayor)‚ two local constables‚ and several newspaper reporters."It was a sultry May evening in 1951‚ and the Manila police patrols were expecting trouble. There was the smell of it in the air and it was as safe a prediction as the storm warning which was being made by the distant rumble of the approaching thunderstorm. That was why a patrol car sped instantly along the main street when they received a message that a crowd was gathering outside one of the waterfront bars. The car skidded to a stop as a terrified scream rang out. Forcing their way through the watching crowd‚ the constables saw a girl rolling about on the ground.She was shouting: "Keep it away from me! Keep it away. Oh‚ please‚ won't someone help me? I can't stand the pain!"But there was nothing anybody could do‚ for there was no one anywhere near the girl. The shocked policemen clearly saw teeth marks appearing on the girl's arms and neck. As nobody else moved to help her‚ the crowd just watched in superstitious honor‚ the constables sprang forward and carried the frantically struggling girl to the car‚ manacled her-and drove at top speed all the way to headquarters. All during the journey she fought against the manacles screaming and sobbing""Please call The Thing off. It's biting me to death. I can't stand it anymore..."But there was little the policemen could do‚ in fact‚ there was nothing anybody at headquarters could do‚ but summon the police doctor. At first‚ they suspected that the girl‚ Clarita Villaneuva‚ had been taking drugs or drinking. But there was a more macabre‚ inexplicable reason for it all. A reason so fantastic that‚ at first it even fooled the police medical officer‚ Dr. Marianna Lara‚ who gave her one quick look and snapped: "She's having an epileptic fit."The policemen next took Clarita to a cell‚ ignoring her pleas not to leave her alone. As the cell door slammed‚ Clarita collapsed to the floor sobering bitterly. A few minutes later‚ she started screaming uncontrollably and this time the two policemen came running. The distraught girl moaned to them: "The Thing is coming at me. It's coming through the cell door as if it weren't there." Whatever "It" was‚ looked like a man‚ she claimed‚ but it had big bulging eyes and wore a cape over its shoulders. And it could float in mid-air!The policemen let themselves into the cell‚ but they could see nothing. All they could do was try to calm the girl. Yet‚ even as they watched‚ more and more bite marks began appearing on her arms. This time‚ the policemen decided to send for the chief of police‚ the mayor‚ and‚ once again‚ the medical officer‚ Dr. Lara. They arrived and everybody agreed that the bites could not possibly have been self-inflicted for no one could bite herself on the back of the shoulders. Yet Clarita clearly was being bitten there!Eventually‚ the exhausted girl fell asleep and in the morning she had to appear in court to face charges of vagrancy. But just as she was being taken into the court‚ she screamed that "The Thing" was back. The two policemen beside her saw teeth marks‚ deep and painful looking on her arms‚ hands‚ and neck. Several newspaper reporters‚ court officials‚ and Dr. Lara also stared at them in sheer astonishment. For five terrifying minutes‚ the attack went on until Clarita fell unconscious to the floor. Then the amazed medical officer carried out an on-the-spot examination and found himself baffled! "These bites are genuine‚" he told reporters. "And they are not self-inflicted!"The reporters knew they were on to a great story and rushed to catch their editions. Half an hour later‚ Mayor Arsenio Lascon arrived and spoke to Clarita‚ whose arms and hands were badly swollen by then. Mayor Lascon decided to ride in the ambulance with the medical officer‚ Lara‚ and see that nothing happened to the unfortunate girl. But even in the ambulance‚ she shouted once again that "The Thing" was after her. Only on this occasion‚ there were two of the creatures‚ both with the same large‚ staring eyes. Both the mayor and the doctor said on oath that they watched as vicious-looking teeth marks came up on both sides of the girl's throat and her hands‚ even as the mayor was holding them to comfort her.It took fifteen minutes for the ambulance to reach the hospital-and to Lascon they were the longest fifteen minutes of his life. It seemed more like twenty-four hours in Hell‚ he said afterward. Strangely‚ once the girl was in the hospital‚ the attacks ceased‚ and although she was guarded night and day nothing ever happened. She recovered and was released from the hospital six weeks later.Dr. Lara‚ once skeptical‚ was now deeply interested in the case and recorded:"What happened to Clarita Villanueva is a complete mystery‚ something which defies description. She was repeatedly attacked by something with invisible sharp fangs. We shall never know what it was‚ but I don't mind admitting that I was scared stiff." And even today‚ Clarita still has bite marks all over her body...evidence of the impossible was‚ unhappily‚ possible!" (A Look Through Secret Doors By John Mackim‚ 1969‚ Ace Publishing)Check out the videoNotes:Who or what was the attacker? Stories of invisible creatures viciously assaulting women are not new. It has been ongoing since time began. Clarita Villanueva described the creature as having "Large‚ staring eyes"‚ the ability to move through solid matter‚ and wearing a cape. This report is remarkably similar to those of women who claimed to have been sexually attacked by inter-dimensional reptilian beings. This case was remarkable in the fact that her attack was witnessed by so many bystanders. People who could do little else other than stand by helplessly‚ watching her be inflicted by unseen "large-eyed" creatures who walked through walls.Could this attack have been inflicted upon Clarita by two inter-dimensional Draco reptilian beings? Could Clarita have misidentified their retracted bat-like wings as capes during her frightful encounter? Reports of these creatures attacking animals and humans are increasing. The veiled boundary or border that separates dimensions is slowly collapsing and are we about to be invaded by something that's already here‚ perhaps even beside you as you read this.NOTE: I'd like to read your thoughts on this case. After researching and investigating David Eckhart's ordeal over the past 15 years or so‚ many of the characteristics described in the account parallel David's multiple encounters with the Reptilians. LonShapeshifters: Morphing Monsters &; Changing CryptidsCryptid Cinema: Meditations on Bigfoot‚ Bayou Beasts &; Backwoods Bogeymen of the MoviesMonsters Among Us: An Exploration of Otherworldly Bigfoots‚ Wolfmen‚ Portals‚ Phantoms‚ and Odd PhenomenaAncient Monsters: An Anthology of First AppearancesCryptid U.S.: Tales of Bigfoot‚ Lake Monsters‚ and More from Across AmericaEncounters with Flying Humanoids: Mothmans‚ Manbirds‚ Gargoyles &; Other Winged BeastsWeird Winged Wonders: The Twilight World Of Cryptid CreaturesRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

Jill Biden Responds to the Hur Report and It's as Bad as You Expected

On Friday‚ PBS NewsHour followed up its ridiculously supportive story Thursday evening on mentally declining President Joe Biden‚ who held a presser to lash out at a damning special counsel report documenting his false statements about how he treated classified documents‚ as well as documenting his problems remembering important events. Thursday night's program featured‚ as its expert witness defending Biden‚ a Yale Law professor who was also a longtime Democratic donor‚ including a donation to the 2020 Biden presidential campaign! PBS somehow left that out.     On Friday evening’s edition‚ the partisan call was coming from inside the house‚ as the show’s own White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez‚ perhaps the most ideologically unbalanced of PBS’s contingent of reporters‚ defended bitter old blame-spreader Biden’s disastrous press conference and condemned special counsel Robert Hur‚ while playing "whataboutism" with Trump regarding memory gaffes. Anchor Amna Nawaz asked Barron-Lopez about Biden’s “very heated press conference” and she replied with Biden talking points‚ including a lie: Laura Barron-Lopez: Sources inside the White House told me that the president felt compelled to respond‚ that he wanted to highlight that there were no charges‚ remind people of that‚ and point out the differences between the way he handled his classified documents and the way former President Donald Trump handled the classified documents‚ basically that he cooperated and immediately gave them back. Former President Trump didn't. They also wanted to dispute what they called editorializing about his memory and age. And they thought that it would be a good time for him to take questions. Barron-Lopez noted the president was “angered by” and “got emotional” about the report’s references to his late son Beau Biden. She even enlisted the special counsel into the “MAGA” corps: Barron-Lopez: ….The White House basically universally felt‚ everyone in there‚ the White House official that I spoke to told me‚ that the special counsel -- they felt as though the special counsel was performing for -- quote -- "MAGA Republicans‚" and that it was time for the president to respond to that. As conservative legal experts have pointed out‚ Hur had an obligation to explain why he wasn’t charging President Biden‚ even though Biden knew he had boxes of classified documents as early as 2017. Nothing “MAGA” about it. Hur’s reason‚ now famous:  Barron-Lopez: Democrats were quick to point out that the mental fitness and misspeaking is not just a President Biden problem‚ that it is something that is also a problem for former President Donald Trump‚ who has frequently mixed up foreign leaders. Conveniently‚ PBS then aired a clip to confirm those Democratic talking points‚ running a Trump gaffe when he confused the leader of Hungary with the leader of Turkey. They didn’t even air Biden’s own presser gaffe when he mixed up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt! Barron-Lopez rubbed it in‚ noting “President Trump has also frequently mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi‚” before pivoting back to the important takeaway: “Upset” feelings among Democrats. Barron-Lopez: Overall‚ Amna‚ Democrats are really upset about this report. I spoke to Congresswoman Debbie Dingell from the swing state of Michigan‚ who said that she was so upset that she wanted to share with me this personal detail that the President Biden always checks in with her this week every year‚ because it's the anniversary of her husband's death. She now occupies his seat in Congress. And it's also very close to Beau Biden's birthday. Nawaz finally admitted the political saliency of the age and memory issue “that has been plaguing the president‚ will likely continue to plague him through his reelection campaign.” Barron-Lopez agreed‚ concluding with the closest thing to actual journalism (as opposed to reverse “gotcha-ism”) in the piece Barron-Lopez: ….I also spoke to a Democratic state party chair who told me that every time that they knock on doors to talk to voters‚ voters ask them questions like‚ ‘Why didn't Joe Biden retire and pass the torch to the younger generation?’ Saying the Democrats plan to take the issue of the president’s age “head on‚” Barron-Lopez ended with the Democratic angle. Barron Lopez: And when they take that head on‚ they tend to pivot to‚ with age comes experience‚ Amna. A transcript is available. Click “cxpand” to read: PBS NewsHour 2/9/24 7:02:52 p.m. (ET) Amna Nawaz: On Thursday‚ special counsel Robert Hur's report concluded that no criminal charges were warranted against President Biden for his handling of classified documents. However‚ the report made several references to President Biden's age and called his memory into question. The president shot back last night. Joe Biden ‚ President of the United States: I'm well-meaning‚ and I'm an elderly man‚ and I know what the hell I'm doing. I have been president. I put this country back on its feet. Amna Nawaz: White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez has been following all this and joins me now. Laura‚ the president spoke directly to the nation last night about this report in a very heated press conference. Why? Laura Barron-Lopez: Sources inside the White House told me that the president felt compelled to respond‚ that he wanted to highlight that there were no charges‚ remind people of that‚ and point out the differences between the way he handled his classified documents and the way former President Donald Trump handled the classified documents‚ basically that he cooperated and immediately gave them back. Former President Trump didn't. They also wanted to dispute what they called editorializing about his memory and age. And they thought that it would be a good time for him to take questions. Amna Nawaz: And he's not being criminally charged. So what did the president highlight from the report‚ and what's the White House challenging in there? Laura Barron-Lopez: Specifically‚ the president wanted to talk about the parts of the report where Robert Hur‚ the special counsel‚ said that he did not willfully retain classified documents‚ talking about classified Afghanistan documents‚ as well as others‚ and that they felt as though there was no real evidence to say that the president intentionally did this. He also got emotional about the parts of the report that had to do with his son Beau Biden‚ specifically that the report said that the president did not remember‚ even within several years‚ when his son Beau died. And so the White House was really angered by that. The president was angered by that. And you saw that in his remarks. The White House basically universally felt‚ everyone in there‚ the White House official that I spoke to told me‚ that the special counsel — they felt as though the special counsel was performing for — quote — "MAGA Republicans‚" and that it was time for the president to respond to that. Amna Nawaz: A very strong emotional response from the president on that. Well‚ the White House did continue to respond today‚ and they're announcing a task force‚ right? What will that do? Laura Barron-Lopez: So‚ this task force is going to review the presidential transition process and specifically how classified documents are handled during that transition. Transitions can get messy. They can get speedy. People can make mistakes. And so Biden is going to appoint a senior government official to oversee that new task force that will make recommendations. Amna Nawaz: And what about from the wider Democratic Party? What's been the response among them? Laura Barron-Lopez: Democrats were quick to point out that the mental fitness and misspeaking is not just a President Biden problem‚ that it is something that is also a problem for former President Donald Trump ‚ who has frequently mixed up foreign leaders. Donald Trump ‚ Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: Viktor Orban‚ did anyone ever hear of him? He's probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. And he is the leader of — right? He's the leader of Turkey‚ fronts on both Russia. Laura Barron-Lopez: So Viktor Orban is not the leader of Turkey. He is the leader of Hungary. And President Trump has also frequently mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Overall‚ Amna‚ Democrats are really upset about this report. I spoke to Congresswoman Debbie Dingell from the swing state of Michigan‚ who said that she was so upset that she wanted to share with me this personal detail that the President Biden always checks in with her this week every year‚ because it's the anniversary of her husband's death. She now occupies his seat in Congress. And it's also very close to Beau Biden's birthday. Amna Nawaz: This is an issue that has been plaguing the president‚ will likely continue to plague him through his reelection campaign. How is this impacting or resonating among voters? Laura Barron-Lopez: So‚ Democrats admit that this is going to be something they have to confront head on. I spoke to Jim Messina‚ who ran former President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign‚ and he said that voters need to see more of Biden. Jim Messina‚ Former Obama White House Deputy Chief of Staff: Americans are going to have questions about this. Age is an issue for both candidates. And part of how you address it‚ as a former presidential campaign manager‚ my advice to them is always‚ transparency is important here. People need to see the president doing his job. Where Joe Biden is the best is talking to average Americans. And the more he can do that‚ the better off he is. And I think some of the problem has been‚ it's always these kind of scripted moments or these sort of White House moments. And voters want to see him out with them talking about these things. And I think the campaign's got to do more of that. Laura Barron-Lopez: But I also spoke to a Democratic state party chair who told me that‚ every time that they knock on doors to talk to voters‚ voters ask them questions like‚ why didn't Joe Biden retire and pass the torch to the younger generation? So‚ across the board‚ the Democrats that I spoke to said that the campaign‚ that they themselves need to take it on‚ take it head on‚ the president's age. And when they take that head on‚ they tend to pivot to‚ with age comes experience‚ Amna. Amna Nawaz: Laura Barron-Lopez‚ thank you‚ as always. Laura Barron-Lopez: Thank you.

The media warn‚ “Artificial intelligence will replace millions of jobs.” In San Francisco‚ Teamsters protest‚ demanding the government “protect” their jobs. In my new video‚ they chant‚ “Do not have these self-driving vehicles on San Francisco streets‚ taking jobs!” They’re complaining about the Waymo driverless taxis already in use in part of San Francisco (and Phoenix). The union is right to worry. Robot cars don’t get tired. They don’t take lunch breaks. They don’t drink or get distracted. Self-driving cars will replace many delivery-driver jobs‚ taxi jobs‚ Uber jobs and truck driver jobs. Texas is building a special highway with a lane just for self-driving trucks. The idea isn’t just to save money by having machines do what people do now‚ but to get human drivers off the road entirely. Safety advocates want that‚ because despite publicity over occasional robot-car crashes‚ we humans make many more mistakes. Robo-cars will save thousands of lives. But when I said that in this column last month‚ some of you said government officials will soon use “safety” as an excuse to outlaw human driving. “Regulators will try to ban traditional cars‚” writes orangecrate26. “You’re not taking my Mustang‚ or my guns.” Government will have “total control of your movement‚” writes another. “No movement at all if you think the wrong way.” It’s a threat I hadn’t considered. Because lots of you like driving‚ and politicians fear upsetting big voting groups‚ I assumed government wouldn’t ban human driving altogether. But I’ve been wrong about state intrusions before. What I haven’t been wrong about is the job loss. Some people will lose jobs because of AI. But history suggests that most will find better jobs. More than 90% of America’s workers once worked on farms. Better farm equipment replaced most of those jobs. Today‚ only about 1% of Americans work on farms. Are the former farmers out of work? No‚ most found other jobs‚ better jobs -- jobs less demanding and dangerous than farming. There were once half a million typists in America. Nearly all those jobs are gone. So are thousands of phone and elevator operator jobs. Bank tellers were replaced by ATM machines and online banking. Video rental stores were killed by streaming services. But after those people lost jobs‚ there was no surge in unemployment. In fact‚ over the past 15 years‚ unemployment has dropped. Wages‚ adjusted for inflation‚ are up. No union predicted that. It happened because‚ as machines took jobs that humans once did‚ people searched for different‚ better work. Most found it. Thousands found better paying jobs in fields like education‚ hospitality and health care. This creative destruction makes almost everyone better off. Although you won’t convince the unions. Stossel TV Executive Producer Maxim Lott asked the Teamster boss‚ “In the future‚ there’ll be new jobs we can’t even imagine. You buy that?” “I don’t‚” he replied‚ “because AI’s scary‚ and it’s here to stay.” It is scary and here to stay. Fortunately‚ many people Lott interviewed see the benefit of that. One points out‚ “We got machines that pick things up. We no longer needed strong people to pick things up. We don’t say‚ let’s not develop the forklift!” AI will create lots of disruptive job change‚ probably more drastic than anything in the past. But history suggests that this change is probably good news. As former AI executive Alex Roy points out‚ “For every new technology‚ there has been someone who said‚ ‘stop this.’ But it can’t be stopped!” That’s a good thing‚ he says. “Think about how many businesses don’t exist yet that could and will‚ when Robo-taxis are ubiquitous.” My brain is too small to know what those jobs will be. But they will come. Of course‚ it’s possible that AI robots decide that we humans are in their way and just kill us. That does worry some AI researchers. Then all bets are off. But short of that‚ the AI job change will mostly be a good thing.

Former President Donald Trump attacked the deployed husband of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during a rally on Saturday in Conway‚ South Carolina. However‚ Haley fired back at her GOP opponent and accused him of insulting military families or being confused. While at his rally outside of Myrtle Beach‚ Trump told an alleged story of Haley visiting him at Mar-a-Largo. Trump claimed of Haley‚ "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir‚ I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh‚ he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."Haley’s husband‚ Maj. Michael Haley‚ is deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard in support of the United States Africa Command."Haley is being deployed as a staff officer with the 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade‚ which the National Guard says is providing support in the Horn of Africa‚" according to the Associated Press. Haley has been deployed since June‚ and it is his second deployment with the South Carolina Army National Guard in Africa.Nikki Haley responded to Trump's assertions during her own rally in Gilbert‚ South Carolina. "I need to start with the fact that Donald Trump had a rally today‚ and in that rally‚ he mocked my husband’s military service‚" Haley retorted. Haley then slammed Trump for dodging all of the Republican primary debates. "And I'll say this: Donald‚ if you have something to say‚ don't say it behind my back‚ get on a debate stage and say it to my face."She added‚ "I am proud of Michael’s service. Every military spouse knows it’s a family sacrifice.""I have long talked about the fact that we need to have mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75. Donald Trump claims that he would pass that — maybe he would‚ maybe he wouldn’t. But if you mock the service of a combat veteran‚ you don’t deserve a driver’s license‚ let alone being president of the United States.”Trump turns 78 in June‚ and former President Joe Biden is 81 years old.Haley wrote on the X social media platform on Sunday‚ "Either Donald Trump is openly insulting military families‚ or he got confused again and doesn’t know my husband is deployed. Either way‚ he isn’t up to the task of leading the greatest fighting force in the world." — (@) Michael Haley also responded to Trump's criticism of him not being on his wife's campaign trail because he is deployed overseas. He posted a photo of a wolf with the caption: "The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack."Former first lady Melania Trump appeared with her husband on Sunday during an event at Mar-a-Lago with pharmaceutical entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy.However‚ Melania has not appeared with her husband on the campaign trail or at his notorious court appearance since Election Day November 2022 – when he launched his third bid for the White House.Like Blaze News?
