Good morning, Qteam, autists, anons:
Militaryfags, LEfags, Fedfags, whomeverfags…asking an honest question, not a complaint. Chicago is rogue. We know that. What conditions/circumstance/etc must be met before it would be legal for POTUS to declare martial law in that city and send in the gubment boys and girls, or would it ever be lawful?
This is just ridiculous.
Deep in the Pentagon, a secret AI program to find hidden nuclear missiles
(Reuters) - The U.S. military is increasing spending on a secret research effort to use artificial intelligence to help anticipate the launch of a nuclear-capable missile, as well as track and target mobile launchers in North Korea and elsewhere.
The effort has gone largely unreported, and the few publicly available details about it are buried under a layer of near impenetrable jargon in the latest Pentagon budget. But U.S. officials familiar with the research told Reuters there are multiple classified programs now under way to explore how to develop AI-driven systems to better protect the United States against a potential nuclear missile strike.

I know Q said, "no deals" but I cant help but wonder if Bill's interview was some sort of backhanded, required allocution.
Mika Brzezinski on Bill Clinton’s Lewinsky Interview: ‘My God, He Sounded Like Trump’
Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski reacted to former President Bill Clinton‘s heated interview on NBC’s “Today” about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Brzezinski said, “It has been for decades an unbelievable double standard that the Clintons have used and abused, where nobody is allowed to go there on this issue. And in the age of #MeToo, women are supposed to go there, and men, by the way. We’re supposed to be able to say what the difference is between right and wrong, and when you have done something wrong, you are supposed to own it and not talk about facts, distorted facts, and obstructed facts.”

The planet is on edge of a global plastic calamity
We urgently need consumers, business and governments to cut consumption of single-use, throwaway plastics, writes the UN Environment chief
Plastic pollution has grabbed the world’s attention, and with good cause.
More than 100 years after its invention, we’re addicted. To pass a day without encountering some form of plastic is nearly impossible. We’ve always been eager to embrace the promise of a product that could make life cheaper, faster, easier. Now, after a century of unchecked production and consumption, convenience has turned to crisis.

It's Now Against The Law In California To Shower And Do Laundry On The Same Day
Governor Jerry Brown is retiring but not before he passes a few draconian laws as parting gifts for California. Two bills were signed into law on Thursday of last week to “help California be better prepared for future droughts and the effects of climate change.”
The mandatory water conservation standards will be permanent, according to their wording, and not just for use in times of crisis. To make a long story short, now that these bills are law, it’s illegal to take a shower and do a load of laundry in the same day because you’ll exceed your “ration.”

Climate Change Has Run Its Course
Its descent into social-justice identity politics is the last gasp of a cause that has lost its vitality.
By Steven F. Hayward
Climate change is over. No, I’m not saying the climate will not change in the future, or that human influence on the climate is negligible. I mean simply that climate change is no longer a pre-eminent policy issue. All that remains is boilerplate rhetoric from the political class, frivolous nuisance lawsuits, and bureaucratic mandates on behalf of special-interest renewable-energy rent seekers.
Judged by deeds rather than words, most national governments are backing away from forced-marched decarbonization.
