Who the hell dressed Gowdy for this
The Finnish president (center of the photo) played golf at Furman?
Did they arrange this so Trump got to hold his trophy highest (like he gets an extra scoop of ice cream at dessert that no one else is offered)?
Trump likes hanging out with South Africans these days, but amazing if Player plays at all at his age.
This was my first thought. Is the ratio 70/30? That feels optimistic. The coding, twitch, gigafactory representation will be astronomical.

OK, enough of the lighter side of the news on a Sunday morning.

“When deportation flights carrying more than 250 migrants—alleged by the administration to be dangerous gang members—landed in El Salvador earlier this month, officials on the ground were surprised to see a small group of Venezuelan women on one of the planes.
The arrival of the women created a problem: The megaprison that was set to house the migrants under an agreement between the U.S. and El Savador didn’t have the capacity to hold female inmates. So the women were immediately returned to Texas, according to court filings.
… Mistakes are seen by Trump’s team as a worthwhile price to pay, people close to the president said, as they enact their top priorities, including the Elon Musk-led dismissal of federal employees, the use of wartime powers to deport migrants and steep tariffsthat have rattled markets.
“You only have so much time and you can’t waste the time, and you have to get it done,” Trump told Newsmax this past week in an interview.
Some of Trump’s advisers look upon past commanders in chief with disdain, including former President Joe Biden, who sometimes spent months deliberating before making a major decision. “The consequences of inaction are far outweighed by the benefits of moving swiftly and efficiently, even with minor setbacks,” White House spokesman Harrison Fields said. …”

“… According to its website, the sold-out Natal Conference, taking place March 28-29 at a hotel operated by the University of Texas at Austin, has “no political or ideological goal other than a world in which our children can have grandchildren.” But the event, an earlier version of which was promoted by Elon Musk, features speakers like Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec and Crémieux, an online pseudonym linked, according to The Guardian, to Jordan Lasker, who discusses falling birthrates and promotes eugenics.
Natal Conference organizer Kevin Dolan, a father of at least six, according to Politico, has previously stated that eugenics—the belief that white people are genetically superior—and the pronatalist movement are “very much aligned.”
… However, an email obtained by WIRED promoting a preconference mixer held Thursday night reveals matchmaking may play a significant role at the conference and in the pronatalist movement more widely.
…
In the email to NatalCon attendees, Luke noted the conference had set up multiple sessions throughout the conference to strategize on the issue of matchmaking.
The email concludes by noting that there will be “some ministers attending if anyone decides to take the leap at the conference!” Luke also instructed attendees to “come up with great ideas” regarding matchmaking, which will be passed on to him “for implementation.” …”

“Hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators have returned to the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, to show support for the city's jailed mayor.
Ekrem Imamoglu, who is seen as the main rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was arrested on corruption charges last week, sparking mass protests.
He denies the charges and says his arrest was politically motivated.
Saturday's crowds were so large they spilled from the site of the protest into a neighbouring park.
The chairman of Imamoglu's Republican People's Party (CHP) addressed demonstrators, reading out a letter from the jailed politician who is being held in solitary confinement. …”
