Melania Releases Audiobook Exclusively Via AI of Her Voice

Melania Trump's 2024 self-titled memoir "Melania" has been released in an audiobook using groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology from ElevenLabs' replicating her voice through AI.

"I am proud to be at the forefront of publishing's new frontier – the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio," she wrote in a statement. "ElevenLabs developed an AI-generated replica of my voice under my strict supervision, which will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story, in multiple languages for listeners worldwide."

The 7-hour English language version of "Melania: The Audiobook" is available exclusively on MelaniaTrump.com.

"We're excited that Melania Trump trusted our technology to power this first-of-its-kind audiobook project," ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski said.

"We look forward to helping bring this book to the public in many other languages, in Mrs. Trump's own voice, soon."

Multiple language versions including Spanish, Hindi, and Portuguese will be available this fall.

ElevenLabs is an AI audio research and technology company, building products for enterprises, developers, and creators.

So what R didn't vote for the Big Beautiful Bill.

Link

Well GOP Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York and David Schweikert of Arizona did not vote.

Garbarino initially said “briefly stepped out and inadvertently missed the vote.” In a subsequent statement, Garbarino himself said “the vote was closed before I was able to cast my vote.”

Speaker Mike Johnson gave reporters a more succinct account: “He fell asleep in the back, no kidding.”

Schweikert, the Arizona lawmaker, arrived also late to the chamber and the vote gaveled closed before his vote could be counted. A Schweikert spokesperson said he’d just gotten to the floor as the vote closed.

For the record, both supported the bill but there is no excuse for missing the vote, none...

Now who voted no,

Link

Here are the Republicans who voted against the Trump-backed bill:

Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio.

I’d like to see no tax on SS as well and making Supressors “just” an accessory with no paperwork or dealer needed.

HOWEVER, we shouldn’t should let desire for everything destroy the opportunity for improvements. Lots of good things here and as always there has to be some compromise.

It would be nice if the R’s could get in lock step once in awhile like the D’s do. Incremental improvement is still improvement.

Utah is going purple. Conservatives are asleep while the progressive Left prowls for the low hanging fruit of a population eager to virtue signal. It’s not why we left, but escaping all of the Cox suckers was a secondary benefit.

Two ICE activities within a half mile of my house. One stop was 4 sheriff and 1 CBP truck with about 7 very unhappy looking people sitting on the ground. It’s 101 out there today. Saw the helo circling over the area about 5 minutes before all the trucks closed in

Second one was 5 people on the ground sweating it out. All in cuffs.

So a nice even dozen soon to be repatriated to their homeland.

I had read that the no tax on social security couldn't be part of a reconciliation bill for some reason. I expect it will be a stand alone bill in the future.

^^^ Yes, I read that too. It's up to congress.

From EpochTtimes:

"$4,000 Senior Bonus in Trump Agenda Bill Will Temporarily Provide Relief to Americans Over 65
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes a tax break for Americans older than 65 in the form of a temporary deduction of $4,000.

In lieu of President Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, this deduction, called the “senior bonus,” would offer a smaller tax cut, targeted to benefit lower-income seniors.

The House bill allows seniors, whether they take the standard deduction or itemize their returns, to deduct an additional $4,000 from their taxable income. It phases out for single filers earning more than $75,000, or $150,000 for taxpayers filing jointly.

The deduction would last from 2025 through 2028. For those who qualify, it would amount to dollar savings of $480 for those in the 12 percent tax bracket, and $880 for those in the 22 percent tax bracket. The deduction reduces taxable income and is distinct from a tax credit, which would be a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes.

Jessica Riedl, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute focusing on budget, tax, and economic policy, told The Epoch Times that “Republicans converted the pledge of no taxes on Social Security benefits into the $4,000 additional senior deduction for two reasons.”

“First, because congressional rules forbid altering Social Security or its taxes in a reconciliation bill,” Riedl said.

“Second, ending Social Security income taxes would overwhelmingly benefit wealthier seniors, because their benefits currently face higher taxes, and this deduction is instead targeted to lower-earning seniors.” (

"$4,000 Senior Bonus in Trump Agenda Bill Will Temporarily Provide Relief to Americans Over 65"

I'm not in favor of taxing people differently based on age, or skin color, or any other characteristic. I'm in favor of low taxation, applied equally, and even lower government spending or control over our lives.

HOWEVER, if I was in favor of taxing people differently based on age, they are targeting the wrong group. We really do have a baby bust in this country. Giving a tax break to people who get pregnant and actually deliver a baby might be a good idea. And no, I don't want to import illegal aliens. I'm anti-immigration but pro-domestic childbirth.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Fuck that! There are already tax breaks for breeders. If you shit one out, you pay for it.


Taxation on social security and earning limits keep retired folks in poverty.

I'm not going to argue with you because I'm in favor of low taxation across the board.
