It’s been called “embarrassing,” but it’s so much more than that. Even the Washington Post had to acknowledge it. “A viral post on X shared by the account @EndofWokeness appeared to show [Google’s] Gemini, which competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, responding to a prompt for ‘a portrait of a Founding Father of America’ with images of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, a Black man, a darker-skinned non-White man and an Asian man, all in colonial-era garb.”

Google is evil and ubiquitous. It's in your computer, in your phone, your tablet, and it wants to control the information you see and the thoughts you think.

Seeing as how Google,Facebook and all the rest of this junk is bought or created for the "intelligence" community,lets just stop using it. Just say no to internet drugs...

Google is doing something about itself every time that the comical, biased database it uses to produce it's "AI" results bleeds out in its leftist wet dream responses. Joseph Goebbels was very good at what he did. Google is not.

I'd forgotten that Epoch Times is normally a sign-in site. I get around this by using NoScript, an add-on that blocks most javascript from being executed, including that on the Epoch Times pages that insists that you register and sign in. Perhaps #2 will find this helpful.

I have been quite satisfied with duckduckgo as a search engine. As good as google without all the tracking. Also, I use Brave as a browser. Being Linux-based, it doesn't give me all the annoying pop-ups.

Agreed. Google is evil, always has been. Google needs to be destroyed. We have other search engines, erase Google, clean up their evil.

These AI people are evil and their whole plan is disseminate propaganda to suit their agendas. We need to make sure it is not used in the school system and teach kids how to do research on their own. That whole episode with Black Vikings is enough to scare the heck out of me.

There Was a Huge ‘Mistake’ in the
2020 Census… Guess Which Party It Favored?

Posted by Wetenschapper 6/7/2022 9:28:57 AM Post Reply
There was a major problem with the 2020 Census, and most people probably haven’t heard about it, even though it has enormous implications. At the end of May, the Census Bureau admitted that it miscounted 14 states in the 2020 Census. Why didn’t the media make a big stink about this story? Maybe it was overshadowed by the recent mass shootings, that’s certainly a possibility, but I have another theory. Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it overcounted: Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts. Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it undercounted: Texas, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

The differences in coverage of crimes in America have never been more glaring. Heavily biased corporate media plays favorites, as they always have, but today’s Mainstream Media Industrial Complex has taken a full-blown suppress-or-amplify approach to the news that is both despicable and destructive. They suppress anything that defies their narrative and they amplify anything that supports it.

James "Whitey" Bulger's nephew, Jim Bulger, was a business associate of Hunter Biden, and according to emails obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital, appears to have played a key role in a number of his Chinese business ventures. Whitey Bulger was a notorious Boston crime boss, who became one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives after fleeing Boston in late 1994. He was captured in 2011. Bulger was serving a life sentence for 11 murders and other crimes when he died in prison in October 2018.

As anyone who has ever been caught in its gears can tell you, the great American outrage machine is a remarkable thing. One day you´re having dinner with your family, imagining everything is fine. The next, your phone is exploding with calls from reporters. They read you snippets from a press release written by Democratic Party operatives. They demand to know how you could possibly have said something so awful and offensive, and ask something like, "Do you have a statement on how immoral you are?" It´s a bewildering moment, especially when the quotes in question are more than a decade

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play. Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on "unfair and illegal" corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy. The task force will be jointly led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over the past three years. "We're excited to be co-chairing the president's new Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing, which builds on the FTC's far-reaching work to promote competition and tackle unlawful business practices that are inflating costs

The Supreme Court didn’t dig into the weeds of the entire insurrection debate, but one obvious issue with the various efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in various states was that insurrection had been left entirely to Democrat state officials to define. That kind of nonsense however won’t fly in an actual legislative process. Now that the Supreme Court blocked state officials from announcing that Trump can’t be on the ballot because he’s an “insurrectionist”, House members are now trying to play the same game. Congress will have to try and act,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told Axios. What he’s saying: Raskin,

The Department of Veteran Affairs has rescinded a memo banning the iconic J-V Day Times Square kiss photo from its buildings. VA Secretary Denis McDonough was forced to deny the photo's ban after a leaked memo signed by undersecretary RimaAnn O. Nelson began making the rounds online. 'Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities - and we will keep it in VA facilities,' McDonough said on Twitter. When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded. The memo instructed employees to 'promptly remove' the image and replace it with one deemed less offensive.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was 'stunned' to find out that the Cookie Monster has been a victim of 'shrinkflation' and slammed chip companies for charging the same price for bags when you get 'a helluva lot fewer'. The 81-year-old president sided with the Sesame Street character in his fury at businesses, especially snack companies, giving Americans less for what they spend. His remarks were a response to the blue furry muppet posting on his X: 'Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller'.
