The Capital IS NOT The Country
I am just returned from a short trip to Northern Virginia. My travels did not require me to enter Washington, D.C. proper, but I did fly in and out of Reagan National Airport. For the uninitiated, that airport is just across the rive from D.C. and from its windows you can see the Washington Monument, in some parts the Jefferson Memorial, and if you squint hard, The Capital Dome. It is this last sight that I want to address in this post.

Joy Reid takes ‘transphobic’ stance on locker rooms — after previously comparing trans critics to Nazis
Joy Reid came out against transgender-identifying males in women’s locker rooms after previously calling critics of the transgender movement Nazis.
The former MSNBC host made the surprising comments while opining about an incident at a Los Angeles gym where a woman expressed her outrage at seeing male genitalia in the locker room.
‘I can see why she would have gone and reported to management. … Does she not have the right to be at least uncomfortable with the situation?’
“I would be disturbed. I would be alarmed. I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies,” said Reid on her podcast Sunday.
“If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out, too!” she added.
Singer Tish Hyman went viral over video showing her accusing Alexis Black of exposing himself in the women’s locker room at a business formerly run as a Gold’s Gym. Hyman, who is a lesbian woman, said that it was the fourth time she had been forced to deal with the issue and the staff had ignored her complaints.
Reid sided with Hyman but said the issue had nothing to do with anti-transgender bigotry.
“What it’s saying is if I turn around and I see a pee-pee, a penis in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute. Why is there somebody — a naked man — in this room?’” Reid asked.
“Because just the world we live in, just from a safety standpoint and just from a privacy standpoint … I can see why she would have gone and reported to management,” she added. “Because if she’s uncomfortable, does she not have the right to be at least uncomfortable with the situation?”
Reid had previously compared critics of the transgender cause to those who supported Nazi Germany.
“Targeting trans people isn’t new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors,” she said nearly a year ago in comments documented by Sky News.
“I was in shock. I was scared, and I told him to leave. He would not leave and had no regard for my naked body,” said Hyman of the incident.
Hyman says her gym membership was revoked because of the incident.
“Trans people have a right to exist,” she said. “They need their own locker rooms and their own spaces. It doesn’t make sense to put them in the same room with women.”

Google boss compares replacing humans with AI to getting a fridge for the first time
The head of Google’s parent company says welcoming artificial intelligence into daily life is akin to buying a refrigerator.
Alphabet’s chief executive, Indian-born Sundar Pichai, gave a revealing interview to the BBC this week in which he asked the general population to get on board with automation through AI.
‘Our first refrigerator …. radically changed my mom’s life.’
The BBC’s Faisal Islam, whose parents are from India, asked the Indian-American executive if the purpose of his AI products were to automate human tasks and essentially replace jobs with programming.
Pichai claimed that AI should be welcomed because humans are “overloaded” and “juggling many things.”
He then compared using AI to welcoming the technology that a dishwasher or fridge once brought to the average home.
“I remember growing up, you know, when we got our first refrigerator in the home — how much it radically changed my mom’s life, right? And so you can view this as automating some, but you know, freed her up to do other things, right?”
Islam fired back, citing the common complaints heard from the middle class who are concerned with job loss in fields like creative design, accounting, and even “journalism too.”
“Do you know which jobs are going to be safer?” he posited to Pichai.

The Alphabet chief was steadfast in his touting of AI’s “extraordinary benefits” that will “create new opportunities.”
At the same time, he said the general population will “have to work through societal disruptions” as certain jobs “evolve” and transition.
“People need to adapt,” he continued. “Then there would be areas where it will impact some jobs, so society — I mean, we need to be having those conversations. And part of it is, how do you develop this technology responsibly and give society time to adapt as we absorb these technologies?”
Despite branding Google Gemini as a force for good that should be embraced, Pichai strangely admitted at the same time that chatbots are not foolproof by any means.

“This is why people also use Google search,” Pichai said in regard to AI’s proclivity to present inaccurate information. “We have other products that are more grounded in providing accurate information.”
The 53-year-old told the BBC that it was up to the user to learn how to use AI tools for “what they’re good at” and not “blindly trust everything they say.”
The answer seems at odds with the wonder of AI he championed throughout the interview, especially when considering his additional commentary about the technology being prone to mistakes.
“We take pride in the amount of work we put in to give us as accurate information as possible, but the current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.”

Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign allegedly solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has accused a Democratic colleague of trying to solicit money from convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
On the House floor on Tuesday, Comer slammed Democratic fundraisers for inviting Epstein to an event, including to potentially privately meet with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D). This invite was a part of a 2013 campaign effort, just a handful of years after Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution involving a minor under 18.
‘Of course, I have no recollection of the email.’
“Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein,” Comer declared.
Comer was referring to an email sent by a political consulting firm to Epstein in May 2013, just a few months into Jeffries’ first term in Congress. The email stated that the firm was “working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries” and invited Epstein to a “fundraising dinner with President Obama.”
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins questioned Jeffries about the allegations that his campaign invited Epstein to an event.
“Of course, I have no recollection of the email. I’ve never had a conversation with him. Never met him, know nothing about him, other than the extreme things that he’s been convicted of doing,” Jeffries told Collins. “And that’s why I’m just strongly supportive of the efforts backing the survivors to make sure that everything can come out, whatever is in those Department of Justice files.”

Jeffries stated that he never received a donation from Epstein.
Earlier during the floor proceedings, Comer accused Democratic lawmakers of trying to leverage the Epstein scandal to attack President Donald Trump.

“When the Oversight Committee interviewed former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta, Democrats whipped themselves into a frenzy trying to manufacture a ‘gotcha’ moment. But they failed,” Comer stated, adding that Acosta’s testimony confirmed there was no connection to Trump in the Epstein case.
“Next, Democrats resorted to selective leaks and doctored documents to mislead the American people,” he continued. “In their latest selective leak, Democrats released just three, three of the 23,000 pages of documents from the Epstein estate. And they made redactions to two of those emails that changed both the context and meaning of the three pages they released.”
