Along with Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers should send the Toronto Raptors a fruit basket and a thank you card.Because what was already a steal when the teams first agreed to the trade in June now looks like an absolute lifesaver. Paddles for the life raft so the Clippers can change directions and make better decisions — hopefully with better decision-makers.First, the Clippers had to move on from Leonard, who reportedly will go back to Toronto for a package that includes Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick, unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a 2027 first-round pick swap and two second-round…

A fortnight of manic MSM coverage of the dangers of AI has crescendoed with OpenAI and Anthropic calling on the Trump 2.0 regime to impose an AI freeze. When Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon are both backing the same legislation, it’s either time to hit the streets in support or run for cover, and since in this instance they seem to be (maybe inadvertently?) backing Sam Altman and Dario Amodei’s play, I fear it’s the latter. UPDATE: Sept 14, 18:44. I added excerpts and links from a Kevin Bass thread on X.com. Bass has dropped a major expose of Anthropic’s funding…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to share the names of the private donors funding his massive ballroom. But nearly a year after he tore down the White House’s East Wing to make room for the roughly $400 million project, only a partial list of contributors has been made public.“I’ll give you names,” Trump said in the Oval Office just last month. “In fact, I wanted to put them out today, but we got a little busy.”The White House released in October an initial list of 37 donors whom Trump feted at an East Room dinner event to…

On May 24, Donald Trump Jr. was celebrating in the Bahamas, as scantily clad dancers in stilettos and sailor caps performed for him and his guests. It was the last night of his wedding, a lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. A five-tier funfetti cake had been airlifted in from Florida, and helicopters and seaplanes descended on the islands before guests settled into their oceanfront villas. That night on the beach, Trump Jr. lifted his bride into the air while fireworks launched from a barge over the sea. “It was everything we dreamed of and…

The race for California’s next superintendent of public instruction is meant to be nonpartisan. Still, the two candidates — both school board presidents — are pushing decidedly political campaigns, one aligning with liberal Democrats and the other with pro-Trump Republicans as they present dueling visions for how the state’s children should be taught.Democrat Richard Barrera, the favorite, beat out six other Democrats with his background in union organizing and liberal politics — and with more than $5 million from the California Teachers Assn. Republican Sonja Shaw rode a wave of support from a conservative education movement she helped build alongside…
