Trump is both Pinky and the Brain

  Trump is both Pinky and The Brain.  April 28, 2025 Trump is worthy of admiration. A 78 year old primate who still wants to rule the world. Day and night, he keeps pushing, high on Diet Coke, plotting grandiose deals of world domination. He is both smart and incompetent at once. He shoots for the stars and lands on top of his supporters, the "losers" that make him our quintessential American winner. As President, Trump is trying too many things at once. Everything begins with a huge hoopla and eventually hits a plateau when faced with the power of inertia. As soon as there is significant opposition to his failed ideas, he has no other recourse than flip-flop and retreat.  As owner of the Trump Media & Technology Company (ticker DJT), the same holds true. Truth Social continues with anemic or negative growth. The crypto and fintech initiatives are advertised with great fanfare, but the hype quickly fades.

Who will be the lead podcaster in the world in five years? Hint: it goes by "AI"

The Rise of the AI Podcasts: Virtual Hosts Will Overtake Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper by 2030 April 27, 2025 Dear Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper, AI is coming for your audience. In 2025, Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper dominate the American podcasting landscape. But by 2030, it won't be human voices commanding the earbuds of millions. It will be artificially intelligent hosts. Virtual entities more charismatic, more adaptable, and ultimately more compelling than their flesh-and-blood predecessors. The reason is simple: AI will be smarter, faster, and simply better than any human podcaster. Imagine a podcast host that never stumbles, never needs a break, and can shift tone, depth, humor, and style instantly based on the listener's preferences. Imagine an interviewer who can summon an encyclopedic knowledge of quantum physics in one moment, pivot to stand-up comedy the next, and deliver a heart-wrenching story about love and loss, all in the same episode on the hour every hour 24/7. By 2030, A...

Make Catholicism Great Again? Who will be the next Pope? Our prediction? A centrist

Make Catholicism Great Again? April 25, 2025 With the passing of Pope Francis, the Vatican finds itself at the same crossroad almost every country in the world is at: become more progressive or become more conservative. To be or not to be. Pope Francis's funeral drew a significant international presence, including representation from 160 nations that keep diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Among those present in the funeral on Saturday, April 26, 2025 were U.S. President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and other global leaders. Neither Putin nor Xi Jinping attended the funeral The Kremlin confirmed that Putin had no plans to attend the funeral.

Russia was represented at the funeral by its Minister of Culture, Olga Lyubimova...
