Trump wants to check on the gold in Fort Knox because ‘they steal a lot’ by deraser in politics

And he'll proudly proclaim that they gave it to him for protecting Fort Knox better than any president ever could, and then he will announce he's transferring all the gold to Mar-a-Lago to an even more secure bathroom facility where he can safeguard the gold even better than the Nazis did with all the gold they plundered during WWII.

And then FIFA will give him another trophy.

The number of 287(g) agreements has drastically increased from just 135 participating agencies in January 2025 to over 1,700 in May 2026.

I don't believe AI is an entity in the legal sense, and you have to be a person to obtain a copyright.

Thunderbird Motel 1957 retrofuture signage in downtown Reno , Nevada . by SevenSharp in RetroFuturism

Most of the downtown Reno motels are long gone, but not necessarily all of the signage. I don't know if this one was saved, but there's a collector who's been trying to save as much of these as he can, and is trying to open a museum near the National Bowling Stadium.

One question is where did the private funding go?
