The whole narrative on Musk and the Salute is ridiculous, the LSM will say anything to take a shot at DJT.

So here's a little montage of D Nazi Salutes, the internet never forgets....

Nope.

Effective immediately, no more Pride or BLM flags at US embassies and outposts. That's a shame.

The Trump State Department implemented a landmark "One Flag Policy" policy on Monday, barring U.S. outposts at home and abroad from flying any other flag but the Stars and Stripes. The newly issued order, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, effectively bans American facilities from displaying flags affiliated with left-wing movements, including the pride and Black Lives Matter flags that flew over U.S. government buildings under Biden.

"Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content," the order states. "The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present."

Any State Department employee who violates the new policy will "face disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, or reassignment to their home agency." The only other flags that will be permitted to fly are the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag.

"The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad," according to the policy memorandum.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was confirmed Monday night in a 99 to 0 vote, issued the order shortly after his swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday. His doing so signals that Rubio is hitting the ground running on a host of items aimed at reshaping Foggy Bottom's diplomatic mission. The memo also makes good on President Donald Trump’s repeated promises to eliminate so-called wokeness from the American government, including by nixing a litany of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies that the Biden State Department championed. Trump on Monday announced a sweeping series of day-one executive orders that, among other things, will bring wholesale change to the American diplomatic corps.

"On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy," the White House said in a Monday afternoon press release that also previewed Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord and reform the federal bureaucracy.

The Biden White House also allowed the State Department to fly an assortment of pride flags alongside the official American banner, drawing outrage among Republicans in Congress.

In June 2021, for instance, the U.S. embassy in Nassau "raised the rainbow Pride Flag to honor the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons in The Bahamas and around the world," the State Department said in an announcement at the time.

The raising of the flag marked the U.S. government’s official observance of "pride month" in June. "The widely recognized rainbow flag," the State Department said, "will fly from the flagpole of the U.S. Embassy in Downtown Nassau, and at the Chief of Mission Residence on Sanford Road."

The administration also raised the Black Lives Matter flag at the U.S. embassy and consulates in Brazil to celebrate Black History Month in February 2022.

"Black Lives Matter began with a hashtag that initially focused on treatment of racial minorities by police, but over time the phrase has garnered international attention and is connected to collective efforts to mitigate racism and build a more equitable society," the embassy said in a press statement at the time.

During Trump’s first term in office, the president repeatedly rejected requests from U.S. embassies and consulates to raise the pride flag, a decision that Biden immediately reversed in 2021. Then-secretary of state Antony Blinken issued an internal State Department cable in April of that year authorizing "diplomats to fly the pride flag," according to the New York Times.

Pride flags were also draped across the White House in June 2023, when the Biden administration celebrated pride month with a party on the South Lawn. During those celebrations, three guests were caught posing topless.

In March of last year, meanwhile, the Biden administration attacked Republicans in Congress for backing a provision to curtail the number of flags permitted to be flown at American embassies. That measure closely resembles the "One Flag Policy" implemented by the Trump administration on Monday, suggesting GOP members of Congress influenced the new State Department memo.

The Biden administration spent millions on DEI initiatives across the government, including more than $80 million on programs meant to advance "racial equity" and prevent "gender and sexuality discrimination" abroad.

They were using the Denali moniker long before 2015.

They were using the Denali moniker long before 2015.

Denali is a nameplate used by GMC for its highest trim level on its vehicles. The Denali nameplate started as the top-of-the-line version of the GMC Yukon for the 1999 model year. It was also GM's first attempt to go after sales from the new-for-1998 Lincoln Navigator.

I was always under the impression that Denali was the local name for Mount McKinley and it had been that way for years but the names were used pretty interchangeably by people. I was in Alaska in 2002 with the ANG and it seemed that way to me then.

When I was in Alaska, the explanation was that Denali was an indigenous term meaning “The Great One,” which it is. McKinley was evidently applied to the mountain in memory of the US president who was killed by an assassin. I always believed that the original name was more appropriate as I’ve never been a fan of naming major geographical features after politicians, even though it has been very common. How many people today even know who McKinley was, much less why the mountain was named for him?

What was announced was a $500 Billion investment in a national AI initiative corp, the first apparent application of which is medicine. The examples that the brilliant men provided were not intelligent. You are listening to Silicon Valley AI guys talk about healthcare/biomedicine without involving a physician researcher or biomedical scientist to this point, otherwise they never would have provided the stated examples. Healthcare record AI was attempted by IBM's Watson and failed miserably.

Further, Ellison mentioned sequencing a tumor and applying anti-sense mRNA against the tumor's expression... uh, OK we can do that now w/o AI. It's freakishly simple in fact. The problem is cancer is multivariate, oncogenic drift/escape is dynamic, DNA/RNA seq only provides a snap-shot and many other issues.

I won't go into the details but the rub is the reporters don't know shit about either topic to ask good questions, but what else is new.

I am reposting this because it’s very important, and I haven’t seen this on any place on the web. They have proven themselves thus far to be snake oil salesmen.

I did see that today Musk threw cold water on the “Stargate” investment program, saying they don’t have enough money.

I don’t trust Sam Altman. I don’t trust what they’ve done with OpenAI—originally funded by Musk—taking it for-profit. And I don’t trust the political neutrality of ChatGPT.

If I had to choose between the “Stargate” team and Musk, I would take Musk in a heartbeat. I hope he will privately talk to Trump about it. Not that they shouldn’t do the investment—not asking for public funding—but the promises so far are virtually snake oil.

I completely agree with you.

Here's more on that:

Yesterday, CNN ran a story headlined “Trump announces a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment in the US.” President Trump said the one project is expected to create 100,000 American jobs.

There’s a lot to say about this deal, which bears an insane name that will fuel countless conspiracies: “Stargate.” But first, let me make this obvious observation: Trump has tamed tech. Trump has somehow corralled all his former enemies into attending his Inauguration and furthering his economic agenda.

This might be my imagination, but over the last two days I could swear ChatGPT has ditched wokeness. Either way.

The three tech titans attending yesterday’s press briefing were Oracle’s Larry Ellison, SoftBank’s CEO Masayoshi Son, and OpenAI’s baby-faced CEO Sam Altman. During the presser, they collectively pledged $500 billion dollars over the next four years (i.e., Trump’s term), to build out what Trump called the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.”

Details were sparse, but apparently, Stargate will have multiple parts. The first part, a million-square-foot data center, is already underway in Texas. “I think this will be the most important project of this era,” Sam Altman said, adding, “We wouldn’t be able to do this without you, Mr. President.”

And there it was. All three men praised Trump to the roof. It was a development that made Democrats hate them and want them to fail even if that means the Chinese win the AI arms race. It’s often confusing to be a Democrat.

Apart from that, not many details were supplied about Stargate, except that Larry Ellison tried way too hard to sell AI as a medical miracle. Quite unfortunately, Larry picked mRNA cancer drugs to use as his example, bragging that AI could help speed up detecting cancer particles floating around in patients’ blood (particles=bad), and then “within 48 hours” could help make a personalized cancer “vaccine” that would force folk’s cells into making even more cancer particles that will float around in their blood (particles=good!).

The more I’ve learned about mRNA technology, the more it seems like the dumbest idea science has ever had, a wormhole of stupidity. The basic idea is to genetically engineer a shot forcing your cells to create some kind of protein, so that your natural immune system then mounts a response, killing all the transfected cells (which used to be healthy) as well as the targeted cancer itself.

That’s the idea anyhow.

But … if the goal is spurring the immune system with cancer proteins, why do we need the whole mRNA process in the first place? Why not just inject the protein that spurs the immune response, and leave the risky transfection process out of it? After all, that’s how traditional vaccines work. And in Ellison’s scenario, if detectable cancer proteins are already present in the blood, it’s not completely clear how forcing cells to produce more of the same proteins could solve the problem instead of making it worse.

Sadly, I think the answer to “why mRNA” has more to do with things like patents and profit potentials rather than the mRNA platform supporting any stargate to a health paradise. We’ll see. But unfortunately for the mRNA scientists, we are all onto them now. We know too much.

If we have anything to do with it, a whole parallel dimension of fierce mRNA criticism is preparing to flood through the Stargate.

Anyway, I don’t think Ellison was labeling the Stargate AI project as an mRNA project, as some of the hot takes have suggested. Ellison constantly says nerdy, dumb stuff about AI, like how it can help stop crime by constantly surveilling everyone. He’s not a great public speaker, and he’s certainly no politician.

This time, I think he just picked a horrible example of how this Stargate AI project might help people. He’d hoped to open a portal to a new dimension of AI hype based on his poor understanding of mRNA cancer vaccines, which he probably acquired by reading corporate media. The truth is, they’ve been trying to develop “personalized” mRNA cancer vaccines for 20+ years now without success.

Maybe AI can solve that puzzle, but I doubt it.

President Trump’s Day One Actions Signal Continued Commitment to LIFE

Editor | January 22, 2025

President Trump’s Day One Actions Signal Continued Commitment to LIFE

As President Trump returned to the oval office, he unleashed a whirlwind of executive orders and policy changes. Life Issues Institute is greatly encouraged to see that amidst those day one actions, President Trump resumed defending LIFE.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been a steadfast promoter of abortion around the world, including it within their list of “essential health care services” published in 2020. Thankfully, President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the WHO. This marks a significant step in curbing the international abortion agenda funded by U.S. taxpayers.

The Biden administration set up the government website, reproductiverights.gov to promote abortion around the country. Upon taking office, the Trump administration shut the website down.

In the coming days it is widely believed that the twenty-one pro-life advocates who have been unjustly imprisoned under the FACE act will be pardoned and sent home to be with their families.

We also hope to see the Trump administration cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood, as was indicated by the new Department of Government Efficiency. In addition, we hope to see Trump once again block federal funding for abortion overseas as he did in 2017.

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues Institute, stated, “We hope to see more movement toward building a culture of life and will work with the President toward that end. It’s a breath of fresh air after four tragic years with Joe Biden who left no rock unturned in his effort to kill more preborn children.”

Life Issues Institute looks forward to using this momentum as we work hard to defend life. We are greatly encouraged by the day one actions of President Trump and his continued defense of the unborn.

Life Issues Institute is dedicated to changing hearts and minds of millions of people through pro-life education. Organizations and individuals around the world depend upon Life Issues Institute to provide the latest information and effective tools to protect innocent human life from fertilization to natural death.
