New facial recognition technology caught ‘imposter’ using someone else’s passport, US officials say

The key takeaway from this story SHOULD be that our government is already using facial recognition in transportation terminals, which COULD be used to track and detain “undesirable citizens” …whatever the people in power decide that means, now or in the future. In China, where they are heavily invested in the technology, it pretty much means they own you and you can’t go anywhere without Big Brother Pooh Bear watching.
I say, be careful what you think is no big deal, America.

US Education department ‘considering whether to allow states to use federal funds to buy guns for teachers’

Federal funds to be used to arm our teachers?
Really? You don’t want to spend money to make sure all kids have a lunch or the books they need, but you will buy guns for teachers…who mostly don’t want them.

Terrific. The ideas these morons come up with are just super awesome, aren’t they?

How many of Trump’s close advisers have been convicted – and who are they?

Five.
Has Trump written a book yet on “How to Hire Criminals” because I think we FINALLY found a topic he truly has expertise in. Of course, if it were me, I’d prefer criminals who don’t get caught and turn against me…so nevermind.
