AI is going to create jobs, they say. While shopping this morning I was confronted by this machine in the frozen food section. It is taking inventory. One less job for a low middle class worker. One more American Dream being supported by this one of thousands of grocery stores.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup... Justice Kagan says the conservative majority doesn't understand the consequences of their decisions. I disagree. I think the conservative majority knows exactly what they're doing and doesn't care.

Truth should be the measure of journalistic competency. Left or right has nothing to do with it!

www.salon.com/2026/10/20/b... CBS still has a few journalists left that are fighting for the truth. Bari Weiss wants 60 minutes to lean more to the right. There's a lot of conflict between the two.

Russian newspapers point out the diesel deal is not going to lower prices for diesel in the United States and the real reason for the deal is revenge. Revenge for Zalenski not lying about Biden back in 2018.

Mark Babbitt@babbmark.bsky.social

Russian newspapers point out what we already knew. Trump is a duplicitous liar and untrustworthy villian.
