Hello! What if what Mohammed said 15 centuries ago was along the lines of encouraging his followers to say anything people want to hear until they have political power then to use it to take power for Islam? Would that be concerning?

No.
FUNDAMENTALLY, God tells us he is in control...whether it's a secular, Christian or Islamic government.

Calm down and don't be so scared paranoid.

Christian Nationalists are actual people who have a stated goal of some sort of unconstitutional theocracy.

As far as I know, Mamdani has expressed no such desire for an Islamic theocracy.

We know not all Christians are Christian nationalists. I have no reason to believe any random Muslim is a 'Muslim nationalist'.

“Zohran Mamdani is already making the city a better place,” quipped the Patriot Takes account, while another user snarked: “The number of criminals in the city is already dropping!”

Sponsored by Copium.

If anything, I’m glad Mamdani’s given us something new to talk about here besides Trump, shutdown, ballroom and ICE raids.

That was starting to get old.

Suppose they get that. Then which group will be used as leverage by the democrats to keep the government closed? Will it be airline passengers who die in a plane crash due to too few air traffic controllers on the job? Would that be some nice leverage they'd be willing to use to demonize Trump with?

No, not really. We have laws still, a Second Amendment and they’re only like 2% of the population.

Where is this fear of encroaching Islamism coming from?

There goes the straw man again. No one here has argued that the commandments of God have been wiped out.

It's far less concerning than the Christian Nationalists alive today actively proclaiming that they are trying to take power for Christianity.

Judge orders White House to restore sign language interpreters at briefings by Trump, Leavitt​

A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore real-time American Sign Language interpretation at all press briefings conducted by President Donald Trump or press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali said the Trump White House’s decision to end ASL interpretation illegally excluded deaf Americans from crucial updates from the government on matters of war, the economy and public health. And evidence shows, Ali noted, that closed captioning and transcripts are insufficient alternatives.

Disliking the “image” of ASL interpreters alongside the president is not a basis to defy the Rehabilitation Act’s requirements, Ali said.

How Good Is AI at reading and understanding narratives?

How well can AI read and comprehend stories and novels? Not many people have tested this.

It's time to find out the answer.

Ask an AI software to rate a story on a scale from 0 to 10. It gave a score—let's call it X.

Now it's your turn. Read the same story and give it a rating. Then compare your score with the AI's.

How close is the AI score X to YOURS?

Click to expand...

I don't think testing AI with highly subjective nature of tests is a good way to test AI. You'll get wildly inaccurate results. If the bold texts in your post are supposed to be links to an article, I'm getting nothing.

The recent movie "Relay" for example made high score on IMDB. But I didn't like it. I'd rate it considerably lower than most people gave it. Does this mean my reading/hearing comprehension is way off?

Or simply because I find the story unrealistic and the lead female character (not the actress) unlikeable?

A much better way to test AI's reading comprehension is putting it to work. Given it instructions to do some text or data processing. The results can still be inaccurate. Either AI did fail to comprehend your long instructions or you failed to articulate the process well enough.

My question was.....

You have less concern with Trump's BFF status with a convicted pedo sex offending, child raping, underage human trafficker than with Mamdani having a PICTURE with this guy?

Pope Leo offers his strongest criticism of Trump yet​

[The Pope] is, she said, citing a church tradition stretching back more than 100 years on the issue, that includes ensuring the rights of families to remain together and protecting their spiritual needs.

The Pope underlined that last point himself when journalists asked about an immigration facility near Chicago where detainees have reportedly been barred from receiving communion. Many people targeted in the ICE raids are Catholic, from the Americas.

"I would certainly invite the authorities to allow pastoral workers to attend to the needs of those people," he said.

Emerging to address a bank of TV cameras outside his papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo and offering to answer "one or two questions", Pope Leo XIV said there were people who have lived in the US "for years and years never causing problems, who have been deeply affected" by Trump's hardline policy on migration.

Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, he reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner".

Netanyahu has diplomatic immunity.
The US does not recognize ICC warrants or decisions.

That being said, many here and many mayors would have no problem with arresting alleged war criminals. Others would have no problem hosting them.

The government of NYC can certainly greatly restrain the travel of alleged war criminals.
