All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: KIA MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG)   STORY 1:  3-Time Breast Cancer Survivor Espouses Importance Of Early Detection Diane Crouch, dubbed "The Comeback Kid," has triumphed over breast cancer three times. First diagnosed at 27, she overcame the disease with a lumpectomy and radiation. Two decades later, she faced a more aggressive cancer, undergoing a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and long-term medication. Earlier this year, she detected cancer early through self-checks, leading to successful treatment. Crouch emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and regular screenings. Despite her battles, she remains active and refuses to let cancer define her life, viewing it as just one of many challenges she's faced and overcome. STORY 2:  Georgia Gwinnett College receives $400,000 for scholarships from Georgia Banking Company Georgia Gwinnett College received a $400,000 donation from Georgia Banking Company to fund scholarships for exercise science and wellness students. The scholarships, offering up to $2,000 per semester for up to four years, require a 3.0 GPA and full-time enrollment. Bartow Morgan Jr., CEO of Georgia Banking Company and GGC trustee, emphasized the generational impact of this support. The donation also enhances GGC's Corporate Affiliates Program, connecting students with business leaders. The scholarship aids students balancing work and studies, preparing them for diverse careers in health and wellness fields. STORY 3: New State Election Rules Come Under Fire Voting rights advocates and local election officials criticized recent rules approved by Georgia's Republican-controlled State Election Board, claiming they create unnecessary confusion and could delay election result certification. The new rules require county officials to ensure result accuracy, reconcile ballots with voter totals, and hand-count ballots on Election Night. Critics argue these changes could enable election result denial and overstep legal authority, spreading mistrust and burdening election workers. The Cobb County Board of Elections opposed the changes, calling them unnecessary. Additional board meetings are scheduled before the November 5 election.

A Change.org petition, citing health and safety concerns, has gathered over 2,000 signatures. The fire released a chlorine-smelling plume, affecting air quality and prompting road closures. Although air and water quality have been deemed safe, residents remain concerned due to BioLab's history of incidents, including explosions and fires. BioLab, owned by KIK Custom Products, has been in Conyers since 1972 and has faced multiple emergencies over the years.

Some EndBadGovernance protesters took the streets in parts of Nigeria on Monday despite Sunday's speech by President Bola Tinubu to give dialogue a chance. Meanwhile, the Nigerian military has condemned those who it says have been flying the Russian flag during the protest and calling on the military to take over. The Daily Post reports that Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Mustapha said Monday that those flying the Russian flag have committed a treasonable offence. Debo Ologunagba is the National Publicity Secretary of Nigeria's main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He tells VOA's James Butty, that while the PDP condemns the flying of the Russian flag, President Tinubu's Sunday speech was insensitive to the demands of the protesters.

Here's Why All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Leadership Gwinnett Alumni Hosting Ted Event TEDxAlexanderPark, the second annual event featuring nearly a dozen speakers sharing "ideas worth spreading," will take place at the Gas South Theatre in Duluth on Saturday. Organized by Darryll Stinson, the event aims to inspire and empower with talks on diverse topics under the theme "Awe & Wonder." Speakers include notable figures like Jen Gottlieb and Carey Theil, covering subjects from media presence to ending dog racing. With a projected audience of 400 to 500 attendees, up from last year's 100, the event promises networking opportunities and global reach through live recordings. For more details and tickets, visit www.tedxalexanderpark.com. STORY 2: Generations Expo Draws in Seniors on The Huntt For New Information The Daily Post's annual Generations Expo drew over 400 attendees this year at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville, focusing on senior needs like home care, estate planning, and healthcare. Jennifer Montalvo, a regular attendee, finds valuable information each year and even discovered her primary care provider there. Organized with support from Northeast Georgia Health System and Publix, the expo features booths from healthcare providers, senior living facilities, and more. For longtime participants like Marrell and Velma Rice of Loganville, the expo offers a chance to connect with friendly experts and explore new services. The event also includes activities like Bingo, food trucks, and gift bags filled with useful items, enhancing its appeal to seniors seeking practical advice and community engagement. STORY 3: Juneteenth is a Significant Date in African-American History. Here's Why Shannon Singleton, a Loganville resident, has attended the Daily Post's Generations Expo for years, seeking educational resources about heritage and history for her children. Singleton, like many, only learned about Juneteenth when it became a federal holiday three years ago, highlighting gaps in historical education she experienced growing up in Louisiana. She praises the United Ebony Society of Gwinnett for their annual Juneteenth Celebration, held at Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville, which educates about the holiday's significance in African-American history, marking the end of slavery. The event, featuring vendors, music, and cultural exhibits, underscores the importance of recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth nationwide and globally. Additional Juneteenth events in Gwinnett County, like Norcross's celebration with performances and Snellville's Unity Day, further promote cultural awareness and unity across communities.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Surgeon General Calls for Warning Lables on Social Media Sites Dr. Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, has advocated for mandatory warning labels on social media platforms due to their potential harm to teens' mental health. He highlighted that adolescents spending over three hours daily on social media face heightened risks of anxiety and depression. Murthy likened these risks to other public health hazards like unsafe cars or contaminated food, urging swift action akin to past interventions such as cigarette warning labels. Despite teens' increasing social media use, congressional approval is required for such labels, with no current legislation introduced. Murthy emphasized the urgency of addressing these risks, urging parental vigilance and societal action to safeguard young people's well-being. STORY 5: Would Banning Vapes Lead to a Resurgence of Young People Smoking? A new study warns that banning disposable vapes could lead young people to revert to smoking tobacco, as they view smoking and vaping as interchangeable. Led by the University of East Anglia, the research highlights how disposable vapes have become popular among youth due to their affordability, accessibility, and appealing designs and flavors. Despite awareness of vaping's potential harms, many youths use it for stress relief and as a social activity. The study underscores the unintended consequences of strict regulations like bans or price hikes, which could drive young people to illicit vape markets or back to tobacco. STORY 6: Study Finds That if Your Mom Had Alzheimer's You're More Likely to Develop Dementia New research suggests that individuals whose mothers had Alzheimer's disease may be more likely to develop dementia due to increased levels of amyloid, a protein linked to the disease. This study, involving 4,400 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 65 to 85, found higher amyloid levels in those reporting maternal Alzheimer's symptoms. Both maternal history and paternal early-onset symptoms were associated with elevated amyloid. However, late-onset paternal history did not show this correlation. Researchers stress the importance of considering sex-specific parental history in identifying dementia risk and potential implications for future prevention trials. The study was led by Dr. Hyun-Sik Yang and collaborators at Mass General Brigham, Vanderbilt, and Stanford University. STORY 7: Many Parents say Anxiety Keeps Their Kids from Sleeping Well A new study involving 781 American parents of children aged one to six reveals that one in four parents find it challenging to get their child to sleep, with over a third of children waking up upset during the night. More than 40% of parents report their child ends up in their bed at night, and about three in ten children under seven insist on having a parent in their room. The study, conducted by the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, emphasizes the importance of consistent bedtime routines to mitigate sleep difficulties, such as anxiety delaying bedtime or night awakenings due to bad dreams. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 4 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for April 12th        Publish Date:  April 12th            From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, April 12th and Happy 83rd Birthday to jazz musician Herbie Hancock. ***04.12.24 – BIRTHDAY – HERBIE HANCOCK*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Two More Auto Theft Crew Members Have Been Arrested, Two Others Remain At Large Teen with incredibly rare genetic condition first in world to be cured Gwinnett launches 'educational hub' to explain upcoming transit referendum All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Two More Auto Theft Crew Members Have Been Arrested, Two Others Remain At Large An auto theft ring in Atlanta has led to three arrests, with East Point residents Kylijah Devon Yates, Randy Daniel Martinez, and Javaris Gamble apprehended. Two other suspects, Giovanni Bell and Emmanuel Chavarria Ornelas, remain at large. The crew allegedly broke into cars across metro Atlanta, with 400 incidents reported in Gwinnett County alone. Yates was arrested in East Point, while Martinez was found in Kissimmee, Florida, with over 100 active arrest warrants. Charges include entering auto, theft, aggravated assault, and motor vehicle theft. Police urge anyone with information on Bell and Ornelas to contact authorities or Crime Stoppers anonymously for a cash reward. STORY 2: Teen with incredibly rare genetic condition first in world to be cured Thirteen-year-old Kai Xue, diagnosed with the rare WILD syndrome, was cured by a pioneering team of British doctors in a world first. Suffering from severe chylous ascites, she accumulated 28 liters of lymphatic fluid in her abdomen. Dr. Mona Mossad, along with experienced surgeons, successfully removed the excess fluid and repaired a liver leak. Kai's journey included visits to multiple hospitals and even China for treatment before finding a cure. Dr. Mossad's innovative approach, including lymphatic drainage improvement and delicate surgery to block tiny liver lymphatic vessels, led to Kai's remarkable recovery. Kai's mother, Ning Chen, expressed immense gratitude to the medical team for their exceptional care and dedication. STORY 3: Gwinnett launches 'educational hub' to explain upcoming transit referendum Gwinnett County has launched an "educational hub," named "It's Your Ride Gwinnett," to inform voters about its transit expansion plans ahead of an upcoming sales tax referendum. The hub offers residents information on the county's transit expansion plan through monthly videos and resources. County commissioners are expected to vote this summer to place a 30-year, 1% sales tax referendum on the November ballot to fund the expansion. The online hub aims to explain the transit plans without advocating for the referendum, navigating state laws regarding political advocacy. The expansion includes spreading microtransit service county-wide, creating a bus rapid transit route, and offering routes to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. If approved, the sales tax would replace property taxes currently funding the transit system.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back.   Break 2: TOM WAGES – GCPS SECKINGER   STORY 4: Duluth-based Company Named Atlanta Braves' Official Animal Health Partner The Atlanta Braves have teamed up with Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA to promote pet health and adoptions during the current baseball season. Boehringer Ingelheim, based in Duluth, Georgia, is now the official animal health company partner of the Braves. The partnership aims to connect with the local community and improve animal wellbeing. Boehringer Ingelheim will engage in activities at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta throughout the 2024 baseball season. Additionally, the partnership will support the Atlanta Braves Foundation's gameday pet adoptions, aligning with both organizations' values of community and excellence. STORY 5: Democrats in 13th Congressional District Race Will Participate in TV Debate The Atlanta Press Club will host a televised debate on April 28 for Democratic primary election candidates vying for Georgia's 13th Congressional District seat, currently held by U.S. Rep. David Scott. Daily Post reporter Curt Yeomans will be a panelist for the debate, to be held at Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta. Livestreamed on Facebook and GPB.org at 11:15 a.m., the debate will air on Georgia Public Broadcasting at 4 p.m. on April 28 and on WABE at 5 p.m. on May 1. The debate will feature only Democratic candidates, excluding the two Republican contenders. The 13th District, including parts of Gwinnett County, shifted to the western side of the region after redistricting.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES 6 – SCANDRETT   STORY 6: Georgia Saw 3rd Biggest Increase in High-Intensity Tornadoes Over Last 20 Years Severe weather conditions, including tornadoes, pose significant threats to communities, with evidence suggesting that climate change may exacerbate their frequency and intensity. While tornado occurrences regularly exceed 1,000 annually in the U.S., the majority are considered light or moderate. However, high-intensity tornadoes (EF2+) are responsible for over 90% of tornado-related fatalities, injuries, and property damage despite their lower frequency. Geographical shifts in tornado occurrences over the past two decades have seen an increase in high-intensity tornadoes in the Southeast, particularly in states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, leading to substantial impacts on affected communities.   STORY 7: Brain breakthrough: Scientists can create brain cells that can communicate Scientists have made a breakthrough by creating brain cells in a dish and connecting them to mimic circuits found in our brains. This advancement sheds light on how our brains function and could aid in understanding and treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. Using a technique developed by researchers at the University of Tokyo, lab-grown brain-mimicking tissues, called neural organoids, were linked via axonal bundles, resembling connections in the human brain. This method allowed for the observation of complex network development and activity synchronization between organoids, resembling connections between brain regions. The study suggests that studying lab-grown human neural circuits could enhance our understanding of brain networks and potentially lead to improved treatments for various conditions.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: GCPS JOBS Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Don't miss out on this episode of Adam's Archive, packed with Austin's unfiltered analysis and bold perspectives.   All the links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com ----more---- Full Transcription Hello, you beautiful people, and welcome to the Adam's Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be jumping into several current events, including Elon Musk visiting Israel. Not only that, but having a discussion with Netanyahu, personally walking through some of the areas of the war and destruction that happened there, as well as coming to a Somewhat surprising agreement with him, which we will discuss first, then we will walk through the next discussion, which also has to do with Israel and Hamas, which is that Biden is apologizing for something that he said more recently  about questioning Hamas. So we'll talk about.  After that, we'll jump into a former White House doctor, one that served under Bush, Trump, as well as Barack Obama, coming out with some pretty serious warnings about Joe Biden's health.  Then we will jump into the Department of Justice collecting some really serious information about basically every single person who interacted with anything about Joe Biden. With about Trump on Twitter,  following that into a discussion around a new, a new sickness,  or at least. A serious sickness that's  causing waves in China right now. And if that sounds familiar and alarms you, it probably should,  but the U S is now sounding the alarm after a new Chinese pneumonia outbreak raises serious health concerns,  PTSD, anybody.  And then we will talk about an update. So last week, uh, the last episode, I talked about the situation with Chachaputi, OpenAI, Sam Altman, um, and all of the employees there and this crazy wild story  that finally came ahead and one hour after, just one hour, one hour after my podcast, it was like two in the morning when they reinstated Sam Altman, completely got rid of the entire board. But that raised some even weirder questions, something I raised originally, but I'm starting to get the full picture now. And Elon Musk posted something that was said Q Anon with a star between Q and Anon,  but it was actually about open AI and potentially AGI or artificial general intelligence and his concerns around a secret program. Within OpenAI,  all of that and more. But first I need you to hit that subscribe, but  button, I need you to leave a five star review.

Um, so make sure you follow on YouTube, the Adams. archive, you can find me there and watch along, you can see my beautiful face, uh, see the articles that we're talking through together. Uh, so make sure you head over there, do that, follow, subscribe, leave a five star review. That's honestly the best thing that you can do at this point to help out is just leave a five star review on Apple podcasts. Okay. It takes two minutes out of your day. It gives you some of that good belly feelings in your gut  just for helping out. All right. I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for listening. Let's. Jump into it,  the Adams archive.  All right. The very first thing that we are going to discuss today is going to be that Elon Musk met with Netanyahu.  In Israel, not only that, but he also walked around Israel looking at all of the, uh, after effects of some of the war that happened there in this article says Israel tells Elon Musk Starlink can only operate in Gaza with a It's approval.  So now Elon Musk, after putting up Starlink in Ukraine, after putting up Starlink over Gaza, after being the savior to all of these, um, citizens, when there's a war breaking out and the commanding force shuts off their access to the internet to do God knows what  now he's given in. So Netanyahu is going to be telling Elon Musk, whether he can or cannot. Activate their internet with Starlink.  So this article says Israel tells Elon Musk, Starlink can only operate in Gaza with its approval says entrepreneur meets country's leaders amid fervor over alleged antisemitism on his social platinum or platform X. I'm not sure that's what it was exactly about, but it says Israel has told Starlink satellite network will only be allowed to operate in Gaza with its approval as the entrepreneur met with country's leaders amid a furor, furor, f u r o r e over alleged antisemitism on his social platform X. The world's richest man declared that last month that his satellite internet service Starlink would support connectivity to internationally recognized. Aid organizations in Gaza seems like a good thing to do, right? If there's a massive war going on and one of the sides decides to shut off all access to the internet, you know, not only does it do that, but it cuts off their messaging between people. Uh, in families locally, it cuts off their access to the outside world, so they can't post videos of things that are going on there, I don't know, by maybe some organization that's dropping bombs on them or doing terrible things to them, or, I don't know, just everyday things, right? Phone connectivity, internet, work, all of that stops. When you can't access the internet. So originally what happened is Elon Musk came in just like he did in Ukraine and said, okay,  you guys can battle this out, but you're not going to eliminate one person's access to the world. So he has Starlink. And if you don't know anything about Starlink, it's basically satellites. I'm pretty sure Elon Musk has more satellites than any.  Now, something like that, but a Starlink,  uh, is a way that he can turn on and turn off access to wifi and the internet for anybody in the world, basically at any given time, just by utilizing his satellites. And so it says the world's richest man declared late last night that his satellite internet service Starlink would support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza, which has suffered lengthy blackouts under. Israel's bombardment. But on Monday, Israeli communication minister, Shlomo Kari posted on X that the entrepreneur had reached a principal understanding with the ministry and has said now that Starlink units can only be operated. In Israel with the approval of the Israeli minister or ministry of communication, including the Gaza strip. Now, what that saying is that you have to listen to the words carefully and read between the lines here. It says Starlink satellite units can only operate, be operated in Israel, in Israel. Okay. With the approval of the Israeli ministry of communications, including.  Which means that within this tweet itself, they were already claiming ownership to Gaza. Already saying that that is our territory. Already saying that that is a part of Israel.  And we'll go ahead and we'll watch some videos here shortly. Uh, where there's some pretty interesting conversations by one of my fans. favorite political commentators, uh, and, um, he, he kind of discussed the background of Israel, the background of the Ottoman empire and Palestine and, uh, all of the, the things that kind of led up to this disputed territory, which I found to be really interesting. So we'll pull that up in just a minute and listen to that. Um, but it goes on to say that Musk has not yet publicly confirmed any deal.  The SpaceX and Tesla chief executive is visiting the Jewish state for the first time since Hamas October 7th assault on southern Israel, which killed 1, 200 people and triggered a war between Israel and the militant group, this says.  Israel's ferocious retaliatory bombardment and siege of the Strip has continued or created a humanitarian crisis, killing more than 13, 300 people and led to prolonged blackouts.  These have obstructed rescue efforts, notably  by preventing ambulances from reaching, or from locating wounded people. Now the interesting thing about that is like, they want to say that it's not controlled by Israel, but then they can cut off their water, they can cut off their electricity, they can cut off their access to internet. What about that says that you're not controlled by somebody? Because it seems to me that if somebody has access to, you know... You're to shut off your water. If somebody can shut off your electricity, if somebody can shut off your ability to drive on roads, if somebody can shut off your ability to access the internet or the world, it seems like that's pretty much control, right? And they want to say that it's not  controlled by Israel already. Uh, but it doesn't exactly seem to be the case. It seems pretty well controlled. After appearing to endorse an anti Semitic conspiracy theory in which a white house Spokesperson said was abhorrent Musk has been forced to defend himself from changes or from charges of discrimination. Wow, I can't read today. Nothing could be further from the truth. He said, an acts I wish only for the best for humanity. I wonder what this conspiracy theory could have been.  A video released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office showed Musk wearing a flag jacket as he toured burnt out homes.  Uh, a far Aussie, a kibbutz devastated by the militant group's assault, taking pictures on his mobile phone. Actions speak louder than words, Musk posted cryptically on X after the visit. Musk's initial commitment to enable Starlink in Gaza was followed by telecommunications blackouts in the enclave sparked. Uh, which sparked a spat by the Israeli government, which argued with the connectivity would be used by Hamas for terrorist activities. Yeah, just like basically everything and anything they ever want to stop as a government, they can just say is, oh, used for terrorist activities, right? Like,  anybody who, as we'll find out later, followed Donald Trump is now on a list somewhere.  Liked any of his tweets, retweeted any of his tweets, any single person who did that on Twitter is now on a list from the Department of Justice.  Anybody who was there on January 6th? protesting,  whether they walked into the Capitol and got a museum tour by the local police or not is now on some terrorist watch list, right? They can say whatever they want. That's the hard thing with like language and the way that what language can be weaponized, right? Go Back in read 1984, right? When, when you can take a singular word like terrorist and start to apply it to anything and anything that doesn't agree with the government's narrative, that becomes a huge issue, right? Just like when, when all the liberals were calling everybody Nazis.  It just loses its venom after so long. So like when, yeah, I agree. Hamas, what they did was an act of terrorism, obviously terrible. Don't do that. But when you start saying that the people that were walking through the Capitol on January 6th were also domestic terrorists.  It's just factually incorrect,  right? You can't, you can't,  every time you use that word in a way that it's not meant to be used or a way that is not legitimate, it loses its sting, right? So, so when you say that, Oh,  you know, we're, we're putting up all these cameras on highways to To stop terrorism. We're doing it to stop mass shooters. We're doing it to stop violent criminals, right? Well, we talked about in our last episode, you know, all the cameras that are going up on every single highway in America, you know, we're doing it for your safety. Like, don't worry about us. We would never spy on you. We would never follow and track you and see where you're going. We would never do that. It's just for those bad guys over there that, you know, you don't, don't agree with our opinions on politics.  It's, you know, all of the, the terrorism talk that's happened domestically has just really,  really, uh, caused the venom of that word to, to, to be questioned. Right, so it says Starlink, part of Musk's rockets, uh, Starlink, part of Musk's rockets and satellite company SpaceX, uses a constellation of Earth orbiting satellites to beam internet connectivity into places where traditional access to the web is denied. difficult. Musk has provided Starlink equipment to Ukraine's frontline with Russia. The Starlink signal is received through small satellite dishes called terminals. But Musk said in October that no terminals have actually attempted to connect from the besieged Gaza.  And so I was on board with that. I'm on board with that. 100%. I don't think that I think that in today's age, when we can give access to these things, I believe that it's absolutely something that everybody should have access to. If you have the ability to beam it onto the earth, which apparently we do, why wouldn't we want  Anybody and everybody in the country to or in the world to have access to that, right? You should it gives you access to the  ability to Conduct work it gives you access to the ability to communicate worldwide to be in the know of what's happening Right to know literally everything it should be basically a right that you have internet today now maybe you should pay for it if you're in a place that you know like the United States where you can Have a job and be a functioning member of society, but maybe eventually not like, but why should we have to pay for internet? Why isn't it just considered a, you know, utility bill at some point?  But anyways, I digress. Here we go. Um, the article continues on and says,  let's see if we can get this to be Full screen here, and says  that, uh, Musk's visit to Israel coincides with the last day of the four day pause in hostilities and comes as advertisers pile pressure on X over a rise in anti Semitism on the platform after appearing to endorse an anti Semitic conspiracy theory, which a White House spokesperson said. Let's see if we can find that out. Uh,  let's see. Musk tweet anti Semitic. That should be easy enough.  Conspiracy tweet. Let's see what comes up for that. It says, This  comes from CNN. com, so it should be a good one.  Uh, here we go.  It says Elon Musk has publicly endorsed an anti Semitic conspiracy theory, popular among white supremacists, this says on CNN, that Jewish communities push hatred against whites. That kind of overt thumbs up to an anti Semitic post shocked even some of Musk's critics, who have long called him out for using racist and otherwise bigoted dog whistles on Twitter, known as X.  It was the multi billionaire's most explicit public statement yet endorsing anti Jewish views.  Let's see, uh,  it says that Jewish communities, Musk has, was responding to a post Wednesday that said Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectic, dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. The post has also referenced hordes of minorities flooding Western countries, a popular anti Semitic conspiracy theory.  What is anti semitic about hordes  of minorities flooding western countries?  Seems to be factual when you're talking about the southern border.  I just wanted to see if I could see the tweet, but apparently they're not going to link it here because they're afraid you'll actually read into it  and see if this is it.  Nope.  Hmm.  So, doesn't sound exact The way that they can twist somebody's words and say, oh, they're they push hatred against white people, which you know, you follow the money in a lot of these places may be factually true. But anyways, um, it says nothing could be further from the truth, he said on Next. A video released by Prime Minister Netanyahu's office showed Musk wearing a flak jacket. Just discuss that. Actions speak louder than words. Discuss that. Discuss what Starlink is. The Starlink signal is received through small satellite dishes called terminals. But Musk said in October that no terminals had actually been attempted to connect from besieged Gaza. And Israel controls the movement of goods into the coastal enclave. During the seven week war, Israel has, at times, reportedly cut communications to the Strip.  I wonder why they would do that. Hmm.  And I think that ceasefire is gone now, isn't it?  All right, moving on,  Biden reportedly offers an apology to Muslim American leaders for questioning the Hamas death toll. We talked about this last time where  Biden was saying that he did not agree with the death toll coming from Palestinian health organizations. And now he's walking back those statements because obviously there's been a tremendous amount of death, a tremendous amount of, uh, question or, um, of. Bombs that have been dropped in Palestine, a tremendous amount of men, women, and children that have died as a result of the actions of Israel.  Factual. Go,  I don't know, fly a drone over there. Like, look at the, look at the, the, the destruction that has happened in the videos. And, and, who's to say whether that's completely accurate or not, but It's absolutely true that there has been a massive amount of death for men, women, and children in Palestine. So Biden is now recognizing that apologizing saying he's  quote unquote, I believe, let's see what this. Let's see if we can get the full article.  Oh, we gotta, we gotta subscribe folks.  Let's find a different one.  Now. My favorite News connector is ground news  and we can go here and let's go Biden  Offers apology now if you go to ground news what it does for you And okay, I would highly recommend educating yourself on this platform because I absolutely love it So I'll just give you a breakdown what this looks like. It's ground  And they give you the headline, they give you the top three points, and then they tell you the bias of the news distribution. So what percentage has been reporting on this, um, 41 percent of the sources that are reporting on this lean right. Right. Of those, um, there's two that are center, 61 percent biased, I'm sorry, 61%. I'm just blind.  And then they give you all of the articles. So then you can sort and sift through those articles. You can say you can look at all of them. You can look at the left leaning articles. You can look at the right leaning articles. You can look at the center articles. Then it gives you the factuality of each one of those and who owns those media companies. So it's like, very basically anything and everything that you would want out of the actual reporting. Um, so it gives factuality scores, ownership scores, like  whoever is responsible for this just does an absolute tremendous job. It's incredible.   All right, so here it is. It says this is coming from the Daily Post and it says Israel Palestinian war. I'm disappointed in myself, Biden says as he apologizes over comments on Gaza. Now, obviously, like we talked about, it's not Gaza in general, what a terrible headline.  But here's what it says. It says, United States President Biden Joe Biden has apologized to some prominent Muslim American leaders over his public questioning of the Palestinian death number reported by the Hamas controlled Gaza Ministry of Health, right? And again, it's like you would just have to watch out for the framing on this because do we, is it, I don't know. I don't, I've never done research on the. Gaza Ministry of Health, but they just like frivolously throw that out there to delegitimize the numbers. And now he's apologizing for it, right? So they, they tried to shoo it away as saying, Oh, that's what the terrorists said. We don't believe the terrorists. You're not a terrorist. Are you? You're a  flag loving American. Right? Maybe not flag loving because then nowadays that makes you a terrorist anyways. But  you see what I'm saying, right? Like, just, just listen to the framing Biden, according to the New York post, made the apology at a meeting with the five Muslim American leaders  the day after his October 25th comments on reported Gaza deaths.  Vowing to do better. Biden told the group, I'm sorry, I'm so disappointed in myself, Biden said, when he heard the leaders describe individuals they knew who were personally affected by the conflict. Before the press conference, Biden had openly questioned the accuracy of the  casualty figures from Gaza, given Hamas terror track, Hamas terror track record.  The president was smeared with criticism at home as he made great efforts to pressure Israel to minimize civilian casualties.  He said, I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed and it's the price of waging war, he said. Wow. Is that the price of waging wars? You kill innocent people? According to data from the Hamas controlled Ministry of Health, more than 14, 000 Palestinians in Gaza, including many women and children, have been killed in the conflict. Meanwhile, Israel has suffered more than 1, 200 fatalities, almost a tenth, less than a tenth. Mostly civilians who were killed when the terror group launched a massive attack on Israel in October.  The Muslim American leaders who have met with Joe Biden pleaded with him to show more empathy for the Palestinians. So here's, here's something that I see to, you know, I find this to be pretty interesting. You go to almost any major,  uh, account right now. Now there's a few, there's a few people who are...  actually honest and truthful, but you see a lot of mainstream media accounts, a lot of mainstream influencers, a lot of conservative voices, just giving the most egregious points on, on the Palestinian conflict. Like you go to Prager U right now, you go to, you know, go listen to Ben Shapiro. You hear them literally saying word for word.  That the reason, or that the blood of Palestinian children and women is on the hands of Hamas. Not on the hands of Israel, who actually bombed them. You know, but it's on the hands of Hamas, because, you know, they did this to us first, so they deserved it. Right? Like, that's, that's, we're almost word for word, verbatim, what both Dennis Prager and, um, and, uh, uh, Ben Shapiro had said about this almost verbatim, like literally go find it, then they'll say, oh, you know, Hiroshima was was something that just had to be done. We had to murder an entire city and block of a mile of people in order to stop this war. It's, it's like, no. Well, what should we do? Well, maybe send special forces in there and take them out. Like,  don't just bomb the children. Uh, and that's what's so funny about this argument that like, oh, Hamas is shielding themselves with women and children. And instead of, you know,  trying to wait for a sniper to have a good I am the target so that they can kill just the terrorists behind them, right, like their their point is that, oh, they use women and children as human shields. They use human shields. How egregious how much of a terrorist are they for using human shields? And it's like, okay, you don't use human shields, you just bomb the women and children, regardless without any thought to it. It's like, which one's worse, just endlessly bombing women and children without any say or reason why really and or using somebody as a human shield. They're equally bad because in both scenarios, somebody dies who was innocent, equally bad,  right? But they've they've probably done government think tanks and had massive surveys where they found out that if you say the human shield buzzword that that now all of a sudden people are on your side, right? It's like, You definitely can't use human shields. Just bomb them all.  Anyway. So there's your update on that. And, uh, from that, speaking about Joe Biden, the next thing that we'll discuss is that a former white house doctor has come out and raised some concerns surrounding the health of Joe Biden. So, you know, not that any of us thought that he was in great health or anything.  Uh, but.  It seems to be deteriorating just quicker than anybody would have even thought. Um, so let's read this article together. And it says,  Former White House doctor warns that Biden won't last another five years in office. They're saying that he has completely degenerated just during the time in his office. And this is somebody, this is a doctor who served under George Bush, who served under Donald Trump, who served under Barack Obama. So this isn't some run of the mill, you know, was in there for six months and now all of a sudden he has a political opinion that this man was unfit for duty. No, this is somebody who was trusted by the White House to give their unbiased opinion about the health of our presidents.  And he's come out and said that he does not believe Joe Biden is in any shape or form able to act the duties. Now, I agree completely, like Anybody who's,  the only thing that they could have done that's worse than this is what they did to Feinstein, right, where they wheeled her out there the day before she croaked, the day before she died and had her vote on the floor,  while some guy was whispering in her ear telling her to shut up and say yes.  Here we go. Uh, the article says, uh,  Ronnie Jackson, a Republican from Texas, a former White House physician, warned this week that President Joe Biden won't make it another five years if he's reelected in 2024. The decline is happening quickly, Jackson said, who served as a physician under former Presidents George Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, as he told Fox News on Sunday. Jackson argued that Biden's cognitive acuity has declined rapidly, even since 2020, when he was first elected.  It's just unbelievable how much he's degenerated through his time in office. We cannot afford to have this man in office for the remainder of his term, and then for another four years after that. He's already putting us at great risk, right? Now, he says, citing his experience with the white house, Jackson said, he knows firsthand what it takes to be the commander in chief and the head of state. It's a grueling job, both mentally and physically, the man can't do the job he's proven to us over the single or every single day that he can't do the job, but this is just getting worse.  Fair enough.  Right. And I had this conversation with somebody the other day, to me, it's like, what is the, the,  even more so than his, like,  Then his politics, right? Because you probably can't even point to Joe Biden's politics at this point or his position on things. But what you can point to is, is the absolute embarrassment, the absolute embarrassment to our country. That is Joe Biden representing us on a world stage.  The man can't string a sentence together. The man can't walk up a flight of stairs. The man can't.  shake the hand of any other person knowing fully well who they are at any given time. Like, how are you going to trust that man to make some of the most complex decisions of any position with the biggest impact of any position in the world? How do you expect that? You don't. You want to know why? Because, you know, and I would almost rather have, that's what you have to understand about the president is that the president is. Essentially just a figurehead. They should exude power. They should exude intelligence. They should be charismatic. They should be able to calm a crowd in times of war and, and Excite them in times of peace to do great things and Joe Biden does absolutely not a single one of those things,  right? So I would, I would almost rather have somebody whose politics are just absolutely atrocious, but at least represent our country well, then Joe Biden, and that's what you have to know by now is that Joe Biden is absolutely 100 percent only in this position because he has nothing to say at all when it comes to politics. He is essentially a puppet with a literal hand up his ass telling him exactly what to say and when to say it. He has no opinions of his own. He is absolutely bought and paid for in every position that he holds.  And that's why he's in this position. And that's why they would probably hope to keep him in there another four years.  They being the people who really lobbied to get him there.  The Black Rocks, the Vanguards, all of those people, right? So it's like,  he is... Only in the position that he is in because he holds no position  and that's what you saw in the Osama bin Laden letter  And I called it was I said Saddam Hussein. It was actually Osama bin Laden's letter I think I was reading it wrong or no, that was just in a clip that I posted on Instagram.  I Posted a clip on Instagram and I had to edit it out because I was I kept saying  Saddam Hussein instead of Osama bin Laden  Silly me, mixing up my terrorists.  Alright,  so, pretty wild stuff, not that wild, because we all knew the guy could, is, is  about to die at any single moment. And then that's like probably the most, the most exciting thing about Joe Biden's presidency, is that the man could literally be in the middle of a speech, or walking up a flight of stairs, and just die. In front of anybody, everybody with all these cameras on him at any given moment. It's like, we should have a  death. What is it? The dead pool, a death pool, uh, for Joe Biden and have over unders on whether or not he would make a second term.  All right. Now, speaking of that,  uh, the next thing we're going to discuss is that the Department of Justice collected every single name of every single Twitter account that liked, followed, or even retweeted anything regarding Trump, right? Anything from Trump that he ever said. If you liked him, if you followed him, or if you retweeted him, you're on a list somewhere. The Department of Justice has collected every single name of every single Twitter account that he ever  And this comes from HeadlineUSA. Not sure what that is.  Twitter is, I got it from, uh, The Ground News, so. It said mixed factuality, so.  Most of them do, to be fair. Um, Twitter is required to disclose following information.  All lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted posts, tweets, uh, tweets posted by Trump, as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account. So any mentions or even replies with Trump's name.  It says that Ken Silva,  Uh, stated that the Justice Department attorneys have released record records related to their search warrant for Donald Trump's Twitter account, revealing that prosecutors obtained a vast trove of data about the former president's social media activity, including info on every single account to like, follow. And retweet him.  The heavily redacted search warrant was released Monday, pursuant to a November 17th judge's order, which was made after a coalition of media groups filed an application in August for the warrant and other records to be made public. From the looks of it, Twitter forked over massive amounts of information to the Department of Justice. Um, indeed, Special Counsel Jack Smith sought and apparently ultimately received all users Trump followed, unfollowed, muted. Un unmuted, blocked, or unblocked, as well as all the users who have followed, unfollowed, muted, un unmuted, blocked, or unblocked Trump. Additionally, Smith demanded da, uh, Twitter data on all the lists of Twitter users who have been favored their retweeted tweets posted by Trump, as well as all the tweets that included the username associated with the account.  Wow.  In some we that the district court's ruling in all aspects, the, uh, the district court's properly rejected.  Uh, let's see here.  It's gonna be a jerk to me again. Need to figure this out.  My, uh, I, I have my iPad as the secondary monitor here and it keeps like going out on me. So sorry If we have any lulls in the action for you. It says, in some, we affirm, we affirm that the district court's ruling in all aspects are all respects the district court properly rejected. Twitter's first amendment challenged to the, the non-disclosure order, the appeals court said in the decision unsealed in August. Moreover, the district court acted within the bounds of its own, of its discretion to manage its docket when it declined to. day to stay its enforcement of the warrant while the First Amendment claim was litigated.  So any single person, any single person who liked, followed, tweeted, untweeted, retweeted, no tweeted,  anything at all to do with Donald Trump is now on a list that the Department of Justice has. For what reason? What would you want that for? What would you want that for, right? You want, you want to start surveilling those people, right? Especially the high profile people. If anybody actually has a following and, and you are somebody who voted Trump is, follows Trump tweets, Trump likes his posts, anything at all, you know, because very easily you could just take an Excel spreadsheet, which I'm sure somebody did over at the department of justice and filtered it based on follower count. So they could find out who are the people of influence that are a part of Donald Trump's network. Okay. Right. Not even network, but just support group.  There's nine comments here. Let's see if any of them are any good. Uh, what was the name of the Beatles song? Oh yeah. Back in the USSR.  Yeah. I mean, pretty fricking wild. Uh, do not fund the justice department. Yeah. Nothing, nothing too good. Not enough. All right. Cool. Um, so to me, that's egregious. To me, that shows an absolute surveillance state. To me, that shows that the, the collusion between Twitter and Department of Justice now has been fossilized in, in Excel spreadsheets somewhere at a, uh, Government facility to say whether or not you could potentially be a domestic terrorist because you  followed Donald Trump, the president of the United States, one of the most followed, liked, retweeted people of all time on Twitter.  Hmm. But now you'll find yourself on a list somewhere.  Alright, after that, this one's.  A little bit, even more concerning, but before we talk about that, the first thing I need you to do  is I think you know what I'm going to say, which is that you should subscribe. You should leave a five star review if you haven't already. And if you're driving, it's okay. I forgive you. But when you get where you're going, stop what you're doing, pull out your phone and it takes 10 seconds, 10 seconds is all it takes. All you got to do is scroll a little bit down on the Apple podcast.  Hit that five star review. You can give a five star on Spotify. It just doesn't let you write anything, but an Apple podcast, it really helps. Uh, go follow me on Instagram at the Austin J Adams. Uh, go follow me on Twitter at the Austin J Adams on, you know, all the things.  Uh, Truth Social, I'm even on there. I don't really use it ever, but that's gonna change. I'm starting to get some help over here, so uh, looking forward to being more consistent with you guys on content that I'm putting out. Getting back to the sub stack, which you can follow at austinadams. substack. com. Um, and that's what I got.  Adams Archive.  There it is. Let's jump into it. Um, the article says,  The U. S. sounds an alarm after new Chinese pneumonia outbreak raises serious questions and concerns.  And the article says that U. S. officials began expressing concerns this week about a new outbreak in respiratory illnesses in China that have sent a surge of Children to the hospital. NBC News reported that the outbreak in northern China has caused hospitals to become overwhelmed with sick Children. According to pro med, a publicly available reporting system for emerging disease or diseases and outbreaks. The news comes after COVID 19 began spreading in Wuhan, China in late 2019. And in the span of a couple months through the entire world into a global pandemic that killed millions and was used by governments to implement draconian measures. Yep.  Now, as far as the killed millions thing, I would like to revisit that and tell you that all of the PCR tests, you know, the with kid who died with COVID or died of COVID are serious things that we need to revisit and stop saying there's millions of people who died as a result of COVID when you have to understand that there was actually somebody who got bit by a shark  and died as a result of being eaten by a shark  and COVID 19. Was considered a COVID death because they had tested positive for COVID at the time And then you have to take that a step further and understand that not only were they marking people dead with COVID  So that they could make their money because they were incentivized off of this because this is all stuff We can't let seep through our memory people We have to understand the lengths that they went to for this propaganda campaign one being that it wasn't Died of COVID. What was important was died with COVID that they would mark as of COVID.  The second thing is even when they ran those tests and said that they died with COVID. They ran the tests with PCR testing at cycles that were way higher than what was supposed to be allowable for PCR tests to be accurate whatsoever. And then as things wound down, guess what they did. They lowered the cycles on the PCR tests. So there wasn't as many false positives.  So when you're talking about millions of people dying, you have to understand  The real number of people that died of COVID is far, far, far less than what was reported originally. Because first of all, as we just talked about, they marked people dead. Uh, with COVID as of COVID,  they marked people with COVID incorrectly because the amount of cycles they were doing on PCR tests, which was far above the allowed, allowable, uh, at least justifiable amount of cycles. It's like anything above 19 cycles is a very high rate of, of, uh, false positives, right? You go back to the podcast I've done about Carrie Mullisk, you go read the, who actually came up with PCR testing, Nobel prize, uh, winning laureate, uh, scientists, uh, who who designed the PCR test. And it's really interesting if you go back and listen to some of those episodes, even episode one, right? I'll mention that a couple of times is, uh, assassinations, coverups, and the cult of science that I did. Uh, I highly recommend you, you listen into that podcast. It may not, I haven't gone back and listened to it myself in a while, but, uh, it's the very first one I ever did. So cut me some slack. Uh, but I think there was a lot of value in there. And I went through that book that I discussed last week. Uh, code blue about the military or the medical industrial complex. So a pretty good one, but a highly, you know, when, when we're talking about millions of people that you have to remember the context, you cannot forget that when we talk about that. All right. So it says China's recent pneumonia outbreak raises serious questions in the world health organization is asking them said us ambassador of, uh, to Japan, Ram Manuel.  It's time to abandon COVID deception and delays as transparent and timely information saves lives, he said. Full cooperation with the international community is not an option. It's a public health imperative. Will Beijing step up?  China's, and this is, uh, the ambassador that actually tweeted that, so.  There's the exact tweet. Um, NBC News says that it witnessed long lines and crowded waiting rooms at Beijing's Children's Hospital. And this is, again, when you see the word children, right? Why would something be specifically affecting children?  Children generally have much better immune systems than you and I. Uh, or even older individuals, right? The reason for that is, well, they're young, they're healthy, their antibodies are much more aggressive in dealing with these things. Their hearts are healthier than ours, their lungs are healthier than ours. Um, Lots of reasons, but  says the who said in the statement that today who held a teleconference with Chinese health authorities in which they provided requested data on respiratory illnesses among children in northern China.  The data indicates an increase in outpatient consultations and hospital admissions of children due to Mycoplasma  pneumonia since May and RSV adenovirus and influenza virus since October.  You mean we're going into  December and we have a rise in flu cases.  What will we do? It's almost like this has happened every year since humanities existed.  Um, the who continued some of these increases are earlier in the season that historically experienced, but not an unexpected given the lifting of COVID 19 restrictions as similarly experienced in other countries. Yeah. Okay.  They've already cried wolf and like, nobody will literally believe them. If there was a flesh eating zombie disease at this point.  I think you would still have a large portion of the country in complete disbelief, right? The boy, let's go back to the boy who cried wolf, right? Or the government who cried pandemic is probably a more accurate one.  It goes on to say  the COVID 19 pandemic was marked by lying and deception from communist China about the origins of the coronavirus as well as attempts to cover it up.  The World Health Organization was also accused of not being forthcoming with what it knew about the coronavirus and of trying to cover for China.  Yes, we know. All of this. All right.  Cool. So there's your article on  that. So to me, you know, they, they've come out now and said that this is not a novel virus, that it's not something that they have not seen before. Um, so they, they, they've said, you know, it's, it's nothing to be concerned of, uh, until, you know, it's not like last time. Right? Until it is something to be concerned about. Um, But, I guess, Time will tell, And we'll have to wait and see if that's the case. And, Uh, When it is, Make sure you just, Buy enough toilet paper, I guess.  Or a bidet. Cause, Bidets are awesome. And, You get to limit your toilet paper use.  I never went on a bidet rant here. But I could. Bidets are amazing.  If you've never used one, High, Highly recommend.  All right, the very  next article that we're going to discuss here is going to be  one of our last ones, which is about open AI. So we talked about this  last week, there was this whole wild escapade, this whole story, this crazy situation happened, where the Altman for not being completely candid in their letter, um, and then said that even if open AI went under. That it would be  aligned with OpenAI's mission that OpenAI went under. Now, I mentioned that last time in reading that. Um, we can go back and listen to that if you want to. But, um, I mentioned that. That that wording was weird to me. That if OpenAI went under, they said that it would be aligned with OpenAI's mission.  And OpenAI's mission is for safe and aligned AGI, right? And if you don't understand AI much or what AGI is, we'll talk about it.  Um, but AGI is artificial general intelligence, meaning that something that is basically sentient and conscious, right? We don't believe today that the AI that we have is considered AGI.  Right, it's AI, but general intelligence, meaning that it  essentially has its own consciousness, that it can think for itself, that it's not just an input and output of, of a, A,  Bs, or X, Ys, or, you know, whatever,  the matrix essentially, right? So it's not binary coding that's deciding its next output, it actually can actively think and Um, you know, have conversations in a way where it has its own emotions and, and things like that. Right. So that's what AGI is. And that's what terrifies people is once we get to that point where it can start to detach itself from the infrastructure that we have, and it's sentient in and of itself, that it could escape the small black box that it's within metaphorically and take over the world and eliminate all of humanity. And  maybe  that's why the board was trying to kick out Sam Altman, because he wasn't candid about this program that is called QSTAR,  which is a  allegedly, uh, true AI potential path towards AGI that Sam Altman didn't discuss. Um, so this article says, and we'll, let's give this a better introduction, is the fact that Sam Altman getting fired could have been the best thing for humanity.  If Q star, which is potentially the  black secretive program within open AI that could lead to AGI, or maybe already is AGI  or sentient, a sentient, uh, a life form of AI  very well could mean the end of humanity to very many people that project these things, you know, almost even I think Sam Altman there, or even the Twitch CEO that was put into position said, yeah, it's a 50, 50 shot. If we reach AGI, whether or not. Completely kills off all of humanity and a lot of people think to agree with that. I think Elon Musk said the same thing. It's about 50, 50, right? So, so when we're talking about Sam Altman, not being candid with the board and the board saying that if open AI goes under, it might be aligned with our mission to begin with.  And then we find out about Q star and Elon Musk, funnily enough, posted something that said Q star Anon, right? And then. Posted this article, um, not the one that we're looking at, but one about the similar topic, but this says from Forbes about that mysterious AI breakthrough known as Q star by open AI that allegedly attains true AI or is on the path towards. artificial general intelligence. It says in today's column, I'm going to walk you through a prominent AI mystery that has caused quite the stir leading to an incessant buzz across much of social media and garnering outside headlines in the mass media. This is going to shock, or this is, this is going to be quite a Sherlock Holmes adventure and a sleuth of detective exemplifying journey that I will be taking you on. Now let's close the, let's close the loop here. Um,  In the fact that Sam Altman was reinstated an hour after my podcast at two in the morning as the CEO and they fired the complete board after 757 people signed that letter saying they were going to move over to Microsoft to the 777 employees  gave in  fired the entire board and rehired Sam Altman.  Wild story, definitely going to be a Netflix documentary in like the next two years, um, if we make it that long after QSTAR. Uh, but this says, please put on your thinking cap and get yourself a soothing glass of wine. I wish I had one. The roots of the circumstance involving the recent organizational gyrations. In notable business crises, drama associated with the AI maker OpenAI, including the off and on again firing and rehiring of CEO Sam Ullman, along with a plethora of related carry ons, my focus will not particularly be on the comings and goings of the parties involved. I insist, or I instead seek to leverage those reported facts primarily as telltale clues associated with the AI mystery that some believe sits at the core of the organizational earthquake. We shall start to do it. Uh, we shall start with the vaunted goal of arriving at the topmost AI.  The background of the AI mystery. Let's see how long this is. Holy shit. This is a long article.  Wow. They did do some detective work. Oh man. Um,  wow. So go to Forbes yourself and read through some of this. Uh,  cause yeah, it's, it, this is a extremely thorough write up on this. Um, the title of the article is the one that I gave you earlier. Which is, um, I don't know if I'm going to be able to get through all of this tonight with you, but... Or this morning, depending on when you're listening to this, uh, about that mysterious AI breakthrough, look that up on Google with Forbes, and you'll you'll find this article and you can go through the full thing, but I'll see if I can skim it effectively with you.  Uh, it says the background of the AI mystery. So here's the deal. Some suggest that open AI has handed up or landed upon a new approach to AI that either has attained true AI, which is nowadays said to be artificial general intelligence, or that demonstrably resides on, or at least shows the path towards AGI as a fast background for you. Today's AI is, is considered not yet a, the realm. Of being on par with human intelligence. The aspirational goal for much of the AI field is to arrive at something that fully exhibits human intelligence, which would broadly then be considered an AGI or possibly going even further in a super intelligence,  nobody has yet been able to find out and report specifically out. Um, on what this mysterious AI breakthrough consists of, the situation could be like one of those circumstances where the actual occurrence is a far cry from the rumors that have been reverberated in the media. Maybe the reality is something of a modest AI advancement was discovered, but it doesn't deserve the hoopla that was ensued. Right now, the rumor mill is filled with tall tales that this is the real deal, and supposedly will open the door to reaching AGI.  Time will tell. Uh, on the matter of whether the AI has already achieved AGI per se, let's, uh, noodle on the prostulation. Let's not, because I already kind of clued you into that. It's not AGI already. At least, at least not what we have access to. Um, it has a hard enough time on some of the things, and it's probably from my use, and I use it basically daily in my, uh, career,  uh, company. Um,  It's, it seems to me like it's almost gotten worse over the last few months or so, but  anyways,  uh, you see, this is the way that those ad ho hunches frequently go, you think that you've landed on the right trail, but you are actually once again back at the woods,  or you are on the correct trail, but at the top of the mountain is still miles upon miles in the distance, right? So basically, it's just saying, we don't know what AGI could even look like, right? We have no idea whether what we're looking at is just a highly advanced football Uh, you know, Texas Instruments calculator that is just compiling all the information and spitting out, uh, based on connections of data and quick reading of, of information  or whether it's actually having some sort of, uh, development, uh, thought processes that are outside of, um, you know, normal variables. So so now that you know the overarching context of the AR mystery, let's see if we want to read any of this here.  Potentially or inadvertently is getting this to the immediate doorstep of AGI.  So, so yeah, the idea is that it seems like it's pretty far away. Now that you know the overarching context of the AI mystery, we're ready to dive into the hints or clues so far that have been reported on the matter.  Let's skip the caveats. Um, I'm going to draw upon these relatively unsubstantiated foremost three clues.  Uh, the name of the AI has been Ben said to be supposedly q star, the AI has supposedly been able to solve grade school level math problems quite well. And the AI has possibly leveraged an AI technique known as test time computations.  Interesting, which should be interesting because Chachi Bouti, as we know it today, has far more capabilities than solving grade school level math problems, but it's not the idea that it's doing it in the way that a calculator would do it when it comes to AGI. Right, it would be that it's thinking and learning those things on its own.  Uh, you can find lots of rampant speculations out, uh, online that uses only the first of those above clues, namely, uh, the name. Q Star. Some believe that the mystery can be unraveled on that one clue alone. They might not know about the other two above clues, or they might not believe that the other two clues are pertinent. The first clue is allegedly the name of the AI. So let's walk through these. It says it has been reported widely that the AI maker has allegedly opted to name the AI software as being referred to by the... Uh, notation of a capital letter Q that is followed by an asterisk.  The name or notation is this Q star. Believe it or not by this claim alone, you can get into a far reaching abyss of speculation about what the AI is. I will gladly do so. I suppose it is somewhat akin to the words Rosebud and the famous classic citizen Kane. I won't spoil the movie for you of the emphasize that the entire film is about trying to make sense of the seemingly innocuous word of Rosebud. If you have time to do so, I highly recommend watching the movie since it is considered one of the best time. Uh, films of all time, there isn't any AI in it. So realize you would be watching the movie for it's incredible plots, blended acting. Okay. Um, back to our mystery at hand. What can we divine from the Q star name?  That's a good question. I'm glad you asked, but my iPad froze. So. Again, give me one second. And this is like some horseshit because I have a very nice setup here and For some reason just this last like week or two I've never run into this issue and it's uh,  just being finicky with me for some reason  all right, so  Let's do this. Let's do that. So so yeah, so to me it's like  This seems like the most likely reason that OpenAI went through everything that it did. It seems by far from the clues that I read and I basically called it out just from the letter, right? You, you go back and listen to that episode. That's what I said is why would they say that it would be aligned? Well, it would only be aligned if they believed that the way that Sam Altman was Being non candid to them would lead to unaligned AGI, right? Which, which means essentially they're concerned about the direction the company is going because you have to understand, too, that the board of OpenAI is not a for profit board. Um, they're, I believe that all of the board members, like, essentially don't have any stake in the game financially when it comes to OpenAI,  and they're literally just there to, like, oversee the operations to make sure that it's aligned with its mission. Um. So this says, what can we divine from the q star name? Those of you that are fairly familiar with everyday mathematical equations are likely to realize the asterisk is typically said to represent a so called star symbol, thus the seemingly q asterisk name would be conventionally be pronounced aloud as q star. Okay, who cares? Um, overall, the use of the specification of the letter q innately coupled with the star present, um, representation does not notably denote anything already popularized.  Um, I am saying that the q star doesn't jump out as, Meaning this in particular,  so let's see what it does say for us,    It says the capital letter Q does have significance in the AI field. Furthermore, the use of an asterisk as a star does have significance in the mathematics and computer science arena. Hmm, so he's going to talk about those, which is that one of the most historically well known uses of the asterisk is potentially similar to  context was used in the mathematician Stephen Kleen when he defined something known as V star.  You might cleverly observe that this notation consists of the capital letter V is followed by the asterisk. Wow. Thank you so much.  In his letter in 1950s, he described that, uh, suppose you had a set of items that were named by the letter of V. And then you decided to make a different set that consists of various combinations associated with it that are in the set, in the set V. This now, uh, new set would. By definition contain all the elements of set V so basically saying that there's subsets of that V variation, right, that all house within V. But with V star, it's saying that it could be V, A, V, A, B, V, A, B, A, B, V, A. So it's just saying that it could an unlimited amount of combinations within the subset of the primary V. So You are said to be maximizing the letter to the nth degree,  right? Um, okay. Makes sense. The use of the asterisks or stars in the case of a capital a, you're going to love the next bit of detective work. I brought you up to speed about the, okay, come on, dude, get to the point. As an aside,  the, the classic paper was formulated a star and is entitled heuristic determination of minimum cost paths. Okay.  Imagine a set of cities with roads connecting certain parts of them. Suppose we desire a technique for discovering a sequence of cities on the shortest route from a specific start to a specific goal city. Our algorithm prescribed, uh, prescribes how to use special knowledge. The knowledge that the shortest route between any pair of cities cannot be less than the airline distance between them in order to reduce the total number of cities that need to be considered.   So I'll give you the TLDR of some of this, and when it's talking about Q star, what it's referencing is that the letter Q within AI or encoding is traditionally discussing the idea of reinforced learning, right? Reinforced learning being that, um, and traditionally when you're doing something like AI, it's reinforced learning through human feedback or RLHF.  And what that means is essentially you're giving it feedback every single time it gives an output.  A thumbs up or a thumbs down, right? When you answer this, it's good. When you answer this, it's bad. And now it takes that information and it learns off of it and enforces better. outputs,  right? Just as if a dog is doing a trick, um, and you want to teach it to roll over when it starts to make the movement, you give it a treat. And then the next time it goes a little bit further, you give it a treat. And eventually it's doing it on command to the word that you say before you made it do the rollover, um, through reinforced learning, right? Lean forced, just give it a treat. Um, now the star being, which we got into a little bit,  but the star being the idea that it's the infinite possibility behind what is that.  Initial framework, right? In this case, the infinite, right? If you use something, let's use the dog example. Again, you, you think of the word dog and you put an asterisk or behind it in the world of coding, that would mean dog could now be dogmatic. It could be doggy. It could be. Doggy style. I couldn't leave that one alone. Um, but the idea is that reinforced learning and the star being the exponential possibility behind that. And so what the idea is that the asterisk might suggest, is what this says, that this is the highest or most far out capability of Q learning. Reinforce learning that anybody has ever seen or envisioned.  This would simply imply that the use of reinforcement learning as an AI approach and that the model free and off policy can leap tall buildings  and go faster than a speeding train, metaphorically, to be able to push. AI closer to being AGI. If you place this into the context of general generative AI, such as ChatGBT or OpenAI of OpenAI, perhaps those generative AI apps could be much more fluent and seem to convey reasoning if they had this Q star included in them,  or GBT 5, essentially.  Right?  Um, And that could give a huge edge over the competition is what it says. It says, take a moment to deliberate on the razor sharp question. Should AI companies be required to disclose their AI breakthroughs? If they do so, would this inadvertently allow evildoers to use those breakthroughs for evil purposes? Is it fair for a company that spent, that spent its resources to devise AI breakthrough that cannot profit from it and must Just handed over to the public at large, who should own and control AI breakthroughs that get us to the realm of AGI. And do we need newer, additional AI related laws that will serve to regulate and govern what is happening in AI?  Um, now in that theme, I'm on the boat that where there should be some framework of, of, uh,  Oversight and governing bodies by individuals who actually know what they're talking about because this is a highly scary, terrifying industry, um, if it goes to the nth degree, right? If AGI occurs and it's not aligned with humanity and it identifies humanity as a threat to, I don't know, the world or,  uh, you know, doesn't weigh our lives over that of the animals that we slaughter on a daily basis. Um, lots of reasons that it could think that we're bad because, you know, some of us are.  Uh. Very interesting questions, but I do think that there should be some, you know, we could dive deep into that, but I absolutely believe that. Um, it says... Uh, now this talks about the solving of grade school level math,  um, don't want to get too far into that. That one's interesting to me because it just doesn't make sense why that would be such a huge deal. Uh, but I guess, um, no direct calculations or formulas were involved. You might suggest that this is a monkey see monkey do kind of answer by the generative AI. The similarity between the two math problems greatly overlapped in terms of its wording just to add the wording. Hmm.  Wow. This guy uses the word noodle.  Let's see if he gives a Okay. So let's  see. So it says, whenever they say this, the database converse will decry things that will go backwards in the older and disdained ways of rules. Okay. Anyways, there's the idea. The Q star situation is one that could mean that.  Sam Altman was hiding this from the board. Sam Altman was putting the humanity into jeopardy, and all these 770  or 57 employees could now have been the reason that the Terminator happens, and Arnold Schwarzenegger comes here from the future, and we all potentially die.  Or maybe not, and they were just dicks, and didn't know what they were doing, and let down all their investors. Um, but, I guess. We'll never  know,  but that's what I got for you guys today. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of your heart. If you want to go read that article, I gave you the name of it earlier. It's from Forbes. Um, really interesting read. I'll, I'll read the whole thing at some point, but just don't want to, it's, it's a very long article. So you're better off reading it on your own time than sitting here and me talk about it, but an interesting thing. Nonetheless, I absolutely am.  Very as confident as I could be that I believe that that's what happened is that Sam Altman was not being forthcoming now What I think is an interesting theory about this  That I noted is that Sam Altman was on Joe Rogan and on Lex Friedman Not two weeks before this huge publicity happened and what are the odds of that  a question to ponder?  Probably not very high.  Do with that information what you will. But I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for listening from the bottom of my heart. You are awesome. I hope you have a wonderful day and see you next time. Thank you.

These accomplishments highlight Gwinnett County's commitment to comprehensive community support. Story 3: homes Since the COVID-19 pandemic, rising real estate values and rents have strained budgets for homebuyers and renters. The U.S. saw a substantial increase in median home sales price, boosted by low interest rates and a strong pandemic economy. While rent prices remained restrained due to renter protections and assistance programs, they accelerated in 2021 and 2022. Despite a 13.2% decline in median home sale price in Q2 2023 from the peak of Q4 2022, housing supply remains critically low, contributing to high competition and prices. The scarcity stems from underinvestment in housing since the Great Recession, which was worsened by high inflation and construction costs. Builder confidence declined for 12 consecutive months in 2022, influenced by these factors. Nationally, Georgia is 10th for building the most new homes.

Sweet Baby James will perform at the Aurora Theatre located at the Lawrenceville Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Tonight.   Story 5: king   "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" is a production that tells the story of Carole King's early career and her success as a songwriter before becoming a solo artist.

The lead role of Carole King is played by Bethany Irby, who also plays the piano during the performance.

In the early morning hours of August 11, 2007, Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, were passing through Stubbylee Park in Lancashire, UK, when they were attacked by a group of teenage boys who beat the couple savagely, resulting in Lancaster's death two weeks later. The next day, police arrested two of the teenagers responsible for the attack, who told authorities they'd attacked the young couple for no other reason than they were dressed like “Goths.”The tragic assault on the young couple was shocking in and of itself, but the murder was made exponentially more shocking by the ages of the killers and the ostensibly terroristic motive, raising questions about the state of youth culture in the United Kingdom.thank you to the best of the best, David White for research assistance ReferencesBBC. 2022.

Today is Monday July 3rd, and I'm Brian GiffinThe Prelude to the Fourth's fireworks show in Lawrenceville ended early due to a "catastrophic equipment malfunction." According to City Manager Chuck Warbington, an entire rack of fireworks exploded on the ground, but fortunately, no injuries were reported. The malfunction occurred about nine minutes into the show, causing it to abruptly end. The city's events team had been working closely with the pyrotechnics company to ensure a successful show. They are now discussing potential rescheduling or combining the fireworks with a future event.

It's Wednesday, March 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian pastor's son killed by bandits Bandits in northern Nigeria killed a pastor's son last Friday. They also kidnapped the pastor's wife and three other family members. Peter Mukaddas, a local leader, told Nigeria's Daily Post that the bandits invaded the community in the early morning. Then, they headed straight to the pastor's house and carried out the killing and abductions. Mukaddas is calling on the government to rescue the pastor's family. Local police have been unresponsive. This continues the trend of Nigeria's government doing little to oppose such violence. He said, “We are fervently praying to God to touch [the kidnappers'] hearts so that they can see the wisdom to release them.”  According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Tens of thousands participate in Spain's pro-life march On Sunday, tens of thousands of people joined the Yes to Life march in Madrid, Spain. Five hundred groups supported the event in an effort to oppose “all laws and practices that threaten life and human nature at any moment of its existence, as well as the businesses and ideologies that sustain them.” Last month, Spain passed legislation allowing girls as young as 16 to get an abortion without parental consent. Football Coach Joe Kennedy reinstated after Supreme Court win Last Wednesday, First Liberty Institute announced a Washington State school district has reinstated Joe Kennedy as their assistant football coach, reports CBN News. In 2015, the Bremerton School District suspended Kennedy for praying on the football field after games. The following year, he sued the school for violating his religious freedom. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court heard his case and ruled in his favor. Hiram Sasser with First Liberty celebrated the reinstatement, “We are thrilled that Bremerton [High School] and Coach Kennedy are back together, and we hope they go undefeated.” Congress Overturns D.C. Legislation for the First Time in 30 Years   Last November, the Washington, D.C. City Council, inspired by the Woke Crowd, revised its criminal code to reduce penalties for certain crimes. They did this even as the nation's capital faces increased gun violence and carjackings.   However, because the District of Columbia is not a state, Congress has final say in the matter. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Senate nullified D.C.'s attempt to reduce criminal penalties. The House passed it on February 9th. And now, President Joe Biden said he will sign it. Perhaps they did so because the politicians live in D.C. and want to see criminals receive the maximum penalty.   It's the first time since 1991 that Congress has overturned local D.C. legislation.  The overturned legislation would have reduced the maximum sentences for carjackings and robberies. It also would have removed mandatory minimum sentences in most cases. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” U.S. Senate reduces penalties for D.C. carjackings and robberies The U.S. Senate passed a resolution last Wednesday, nullifying changes to the Washington, D.C. criminal code. It's the first time since 1991 that Congress has overturned local D.C. legislation.  If it becomes law, the revised criminal code will reduce the maximum sentences for carjackings and robberies. It also would remove mandatory minimum sentences in most cases. If it passes the U.S. House, President Joe Biden said he will sign the resolution. This comes as the nation's capital faces increased gun violence and carjackings. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” Americans favor Christianity, detest Satanism and Scientology A new poll from YouGov surveyed Americans' views on 35 religious groups and belief systems. Christianity in general was the most highly favored belief system. The next most favored system was Protestantism. Other groups like Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Anglicans scored lower, but were generally viewed positively.  On the other end of the spectrum, Satanism and so-called “Church” of Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, received the worst favorability scores. They were followed by Jehovah's Witnesses, Islam, and Mormonism.  Dallas abortion mill shut down Praise God! The largest abortion mill in Dallas, Texas shut down earlier this month. It had stopped doing abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe  v. Wade last year. The mill was operational for 50 years, killing thousands of unborn babies. Texas Right to Life reports that “Southwestern Women's Surgery Center was owned by long-time, late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd, who is an ordained Baptist minister and bragged, ‘Am I killing? Yes, I am!'” Psalm 50:16 says, “But to the wicked God says: ‘What right have you to recite My statutes or take My covenant on your lips?'” World's most premature twins celebrated first birthday And finally, Guinness World Records reports the world's most premature twins celebrated their first birthday earlier this month. When Shakina Rajendram went into labor four months early, doctors told her the twins had a zero percent chance of survival. But, in God's providence, Adiah and Adrial are alive and well a year later. Disturbingly, the Canadian hospital denied the twins life-sustaining measures at birth. However, their parents were able to transfer them to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto for care.  Her husband, Kevin, said they clung to their Christian faith in the process. KEVIN: “Amidst all that scenario of being told that the chance of survival is pretty much 0%, the chance of significant disability is really high, we were just clinging to our hope and faith, trusting in God.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, March 15th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

She is described as being 5-feet, 4-inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with brown eyes, straight brown hair and multiple tattoos. Her tattoos include a "503" across her fingers on her right hand, "Maria" on the outside of her wrist and a dark green marijuana plant on the top of her hand. Selena Garcia had been released from the Gwinnett County Jail the day before her family last heard from her. She had been arrested last July on charges of tampering with evidence, criminal trespass for unlawful purposes, and giving a false name, address or birthdate to a law enforcement officer. Anyone who has information about Selena Garcia's whereabouts is asked to call detectives or crime stoppers. Twenty-five people named in a 210-count indictment — for crimes ranging from racketeering to murder, gang activity and armed robbery — have been arrested by multiple law enforcement agencies, including agencies from Gwinnett County. Gwinnett County police announced their Gang Unit worked with the Gwinnett Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit, the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the DeKalb County Police Department, the Fulton County district Attorney's Office and the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office to make the arrests. There were 26 suspects named in the indictment, and one of them, 22-year-old Decatur resident Khari "RX Yano" Kelley, remains at large. The arrests or the 25 other suspects named in the indictment, however, came after a year-long investigation by the Gwinnett Police Gang Unit. In August 2021, multiple shooting cases along Boggs Road in Duluth led investigators to discover ongoing violence between 'Blixtz' gang and '56 Gang. On August 29, 2021, '56 Gang' members shot and killed 18-year-old Jeremiah Pretto (an 18-year-old male from Duluth). The case evolved into a RICO investigation against the "56 Gang" in December 2021 as several members were charged with violent cases. Investigators also discovered the '56 Gang' was working with the 'Drug Rich' gang as cases began to emerge where members of both gangs were accused or committing crimes began to emerge. The case came to a head when the top two leaders of the "56 Gang" — Lawrenceville resident Ladavion "Chicago" Smith, 22, and Clarkston resident Cameron "XG" Hamilton, 18 — along with the two highest ranking members of the "Drug Rich" gang — Stone Mountain residents Dalemonte "Drug Rich Hect" Neshawn Stilley, 24, and Zaion "Drug Rich Peso" Sharif Martinez, 27 — were indicted on RICO charges by a Gwinnett County grand jury on Jan. 25, along with 22 other members of the two gangs. In addition to the RICO charges, however, the indictment also lists several other crimes, including violations of the Gang Act, malice and felony murder, armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and various firearms offenses. asmine Morales is mourning the big life events, such as high school graduation, that her little sister, Susana, will not get to have because she was murdered by a now former police officer last summer. Meanwhile, Zaira Garcia has been in a constant state of worry about her sister, Selena, who has been missing since last October. The cases involving Susana Morales and Selena Garcia are just some of the cases that are causing concern among Hispanic residents in Gwinnett County. Some of the cases involve people, like Garcia, who are still classified as missing, while others involve people, such as Morales or Jose Daniel Martinez, who have been the victims of murderers. And, other cases, such as the one involving Rodrigo Floriano Mayen, involve deaths that have been classified as being the result of drug overdoses. These cases all add up to a Hispanic community that is turning to Gwinnett County police and asking what the county's law enforcement is doing to keep them safe. The Hispanic community got a chance to address its concerns to Gwinnett police officials, including Police Chief J.D. McClure, during a community meeting at Universal Church on Thursday night. Attendees highlighted a number of issues, asking police what they are doing about concerns such as fentanyl, gangs, curfews for young people, missing persons cases and human trafficking. For attendees their concerns are reinforced by cases such as the murder of Morales, the disappearance of Garcia, the overdose death of Mayen, and the shooting death of Martinez — which police have indicated was an apparent gang initiation killing — highlight the diversity of issues the Hispanic community is concerned about. Zaira Garcia also mentioned that some are afraid of police because they think officers will arrest them and try to have them deported. Major Jordan Griffin, who is the commander of the police department's West Precinct, said Hispanic residents should not be worried about whether officers will check their immigration status, however, because that is not their job. Zaira also highlighted the need for more Spanish speaking personnel in the department, while Jasmine Morales voiced her frustrations in how the department handled the investigation of her sister's disappearance prior to her death. JD McClure continued to defend his department and their handling of the Morales case.   Brookwood senior Diana Collins and Grayson junior Gicarri Harris earned the top awards among the Gwinnett Tipoff Club's postseason honors Monday for the best in local high school basketball.

The Texas-based restaurant chain announced it will open at the Exchange @ Gwinnett, which is located at 2925 Buford Drive in Buford, on March 20. The restaurant, which will the third Whataburger location in metro Atlanta, will only offer drive-thru service at first.

An additional location in Snellville is set to open at a later date. The new restaurant is expected to generate 150 new jobs in the Buford area. In anticipation of traffic created by the opening, Whataburger has announced is will pay Gwinnett County police to provide traffic control for the restaurant's opening. The openings of Whataburger locations in Kennesaw and Woodstock led to long lines of traffic that spilled out of the restaurants parking lots and onto adjacent streets. Whataburger announced it will add online ordering and pick-up, as well as dine-in options, in the weeks to come as those services become ready to roll out The Georgia Senate passed legislation Monday that will require Georgia public schools to conduct active-shooter drills by Oct. 1 of each year.   Governor Brian Kemp's “Safe Schools Act” also creates a school-safety and anti-gang certification for teachers and other school employees who complete a school safety and gang-deterrence training program.  Though the bill ultimately passed nearly unanimously, it drew criticism from Democrats. Senator Elena Parent, a Democrat from Atlanta lamented that the bill highlights the failure to pass meaningful gun control laws. Parent, who ultimately voted for the bill, noted that several Democratic-sponsored gun control bills have not received committee hearings during this year's legislative session.  The bill's focus on gang-violence prevention also drew concerns. Grayson Democratic Senator Nikki Merritt voiced concerns that the identification focused training could lead to racial profiling. The bill now moves to the governor's desk for his signature.  For more information be sure to visit www.bgpodcastnetwork.com   https://www.lawrencevillega.org/  https://www.foxtheatre.org/  https://guideinc.org/  https://www.psponline.com/  https://www.kiamallofga.com/  https://www.milb.com/gwinnett  https://www.fernbankmuseum.org/  www.atlantagladiators.com    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The odds were stacked against the Hebron girls basketball team heading into the 2022-23 season. After losing in the Class A Private state finals last season, the Lions had the daunting task of moving up two classifications to a much deeper Class AAA, making their road back to the Macon Centreplex that much tougher. But with a retooled roster and the winningest head coach in the history of Georgia high school basketball, the jump didn't phase the Lions in the least. Facing off against defending state champion Lumpkin County in the Class AAA state finals Friday afternoon, the Lions pummeled the Indians for four quarters and cruised to a 68-36 win for their second state title in program history and 15th for legendary head coach Jan Azar. Azar now has two state titles in her first four seasons at Hebron. More impressively, the win over the Indians completes an undefeated season for Hebron at 32-0, the only team in the state of Georgia to do that this season. Standout sophomore guard Aubrey Beckham finished with 16 points, six rebounds and six assists while Jakerra Butler scored 13 of her 16 points in the second half to pair with 13 rebounds. The Lions also got double-digit scoring efforts from Amiya Porter, who had 12 points, and Nickyia Daniel, who scored 11. Defensively, the Lions held the Indians to just 23 percent from the field and out-rebounded them 37-26. For the first time in program history, the Brookwood girls basketball team has its state championship. The Broncos overcame a sluggish first half and struggles on the offensive glass to race past the defending Class AAAAAAA state champion Norcross Blue Devils 43-39 behind a dominant performance from Super Six senior guard Diana Collins. Collins scored a game-high 21 points, including 15 in the second half, to lead the Broncos. Danielle Osho was the only other Bronco to score in double figures with 10 points. Jade Weathersby was close behind with nine points and 12 rebounds. Despite giving up 21 offensive rebounds on the night, the Broncos defense still managed to hold the Blue Devils to just 25 percent from the field. The Blue Devils attempted 18 more shots than the Broncos, but struggled all night to knock down shots. For the parents of Elijah DeWitt, the last five months have been what they call a “daily nightmare.” DeWitt, who was a football and baseball standout at Jefferson High School, died after he was shot in a parking lot at Sugarloaf Mills, outside Dave and Busters, on Oct. 5. The incident has been described as an attempted robbery. Now, DeWitt's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the mall, its owner and security officials as well as Dave and Buster's. The lawsuit that was filed this week names several defendants, including Simon Property Group, Sugarloaf Mills Limited Partnership, Universal Protection Service LLC, Dave and Buster's of Georgia LLC, Sugarloaf Mills security director Jason Choy and five individuals referred to as “John Does 1-5.” The lawsuit alleges that the defendants in the case failed to keep the mall premises safe; allowed a public nuisance to exist; engaged in negligent employee hiring, training, supervision, and retention practices; and failure to voluntarily undertake a duty of care for Elijah DeWitt. Among the allegations outlined in the lawsuit is that there had been ongoing crime-related issues a Sugarloaf Mills before DeWitt was shot, and that the mall's owners and security officials, as well as Dave and Buster's officials, did not do enough to address those issues. Chandler Richardson and Kemare Bryan are awaiting trial on murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of certain felonies charges in connection with the teen's death. An arraignment hearing for Richardson was held Friday morning. DeWitt had been on a date with his girlfriend at mall on the night he died. Gwinnett police said at the time that DeWitt had gotten into an altercation with Richardson and Bryan. The DeWitt family has previously said his death was the result of a botched robbery. Officials for Simon Property Group and Sugarloaf Mills could not be reached for comment on Friday. Dave and Buster's spokeswoman Karena Bibbins-McKeever told the Daily Post that the entertainment venue chain could not comment on the lawsuit. Gwinnett County residents are being invited to participate in discussion on mental health in the Duluth area this week. Gwinnett County Board of Education chairwoman Tarece Johnson said in an announcement on Facebook that community leaders got together to organize the panel discussion, which will take place from 5 until 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the McClure Health Science High School, which is located at 3921 Club Drive in unincorporated Duluth. The event is described as a community listening panel discussion and question-and-answer session. A flyer that has been circulating for the event says a “Gwinnett Team of Mental Health Professionals” will participate in the panel discussion. The flyer states the panel will consist of representatives from the Mental Health Support Network, Viewpoint Health, cyber security firm Fort Security, Barber Therapy, a licensed clinical social worker, and a licensed professional counselor. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers launched — and then quickly “paused” — efforts to find a new name for Lake Lanier and Buford Dam on Friday afternoon. The lake and the dam were highlighted in a report from a federal commission that looked at renaming Department of Defense properties which are named for people who served in the Confederate Army. The Naming Commission was created in response to the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. The Naming Commission's Final Report to Congress pointed out Buford Dam is named for the city of Buford, but added that the city was named for Algernon Sidney Buford, who was a member of the Virginia Militia during the Civil War. The commission said Lake Lanier was named for the poet, Sidney Lanier, who had also been served as a private in the Confederate Army. The renaming of Lake Lanier would not be as simple as the Army deciding to change it in response to the commission's report. That's because he lake name was set by Congress when it approved its creation in 1946. In other words, the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate would have to agree to changing the lake's name. If that name were to change, it would have a cascading effect that would reverberate across the community because of places in he community that are named for either the lake or the dam. In Gwinnett, these place include Buford Dam Road and Corps of Engineers-run Buford Dam Park, as well as Lanier Middle School and Lanier High School. There is also Lanier Islands and residential communities. Gwinnett County's congressional representatives are asking high school students to submit artwork for a chance to that work displayed in the U.S. Capitol. Congressional districts across the nation hold art competitions each year where high school students from their respective district can enter artwork they created in one several different types of visual mediums. The winner of each district's competition will have heir artwork displayed in the Capitol in Washington D.C. for one year. Most, if not all, members of Congress participate in the nationwide effort each year, and that includes the three congressional members who represent parts of Gwinnett County: U.S. Reps. Lucy McBath, Rich McCormick and Andrew Clyde. McBath announced his past week that the deadline to submit work for the 7th Congressional District Art Competition will be 5 p.m. on April 24. Entries must be submitted in person or by mail to McBath's district office, which is located at 3700 Crestwood Parkway, Suite 270 in Duluth. An online entry form and a required release form can be found at mcbath.house.gov/art-competition. McCormick and Clyde, who represent the 6th and 9th congressional districts respectively, have not announced their respective district's submission deadline, but both of them have posted entry forms on their congressional websites. The form for McCormick's District can be found at mccormick.house.gov/services/art-competition while the form for Clyde's district can be found at clyde.house.gov/forms/submitartwork/. McCormick's office is also directing questions about the 6th Congressional District Art Competition to Suzanne Swain at Suzanne.swain@mail.house.gov.

Gwinnett County police said a Lilburn resident is believed to have killed a teen who was found dead at a home on Paden Mill Trail in unincorporated Lawrenceville on Wednesday. The teen was identified on Thursday as 16-year-old Jose Daniel Martinez, who was from Lawrenceville. Martinez's family had reported him missing on Wednesday and officers went to the last place he was known to have been at and discovered his body, which had a gunshot wound. Lilburn resident Dennis Calzadilla, was arrested late Wednesday night and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with Martinez's death. Calzadilla was identified as a suspect based on information investigators gathered while canvassing the area and developing leads. Jail records show Calzadilla was also charged with gang activity-related charges — including unlawfully committing an offense with the intent to obtain, earn or maintain membership, or to increase status or position in a street gang — on Thursday. Police have not officially said why they believe Martinez was killed, however. Gwinnett County leaders are in the midst of several studies to plan for the county's future, Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson said during her annual State of the County Address on Thursday. Hendrickson highlighted a human services needs assessment, the county's first-ever Arts and Creative Economy Master Plan, a disparity study that will look at the county's procurement and contracting system, and plans to hire a sustainability officer. "The county has always been intentional about where we see ourselves in the future," Hendrickson said after the speech, which was delivered at 12Stone Church in Lawrenceville. "This board paid particular to some of the issues and challenges that we're seeing around the nation — you know sustainability, climate, affordable housing, public safety, workforce challenges, transportation — and making sure we're meeting the gaps in our community. It's been a long time since such an assessment was done. In fact, it's been more than 30 years since the last full-scale assessment was conducted. The last one was conducted in 1991, according to Hendrickson. The study is expected to be finished later this year, possibly in the summer. Hendrickson told the Daily Post that the services which the assessment is looking at are community services which are designed to address a variety of issues, ranging from food and nutrition to housing, homelessness, and poverty. Parkview's baseball team cruised past Ariton, Alabama for a 10-0 victory in five innings late Thursday night in the Perfect Game Showdown. Mason Davis struck out seven in a five-inning perfect game to earn the victory. The Panthers' top hitters were Colin Houck who went 3-for-3 with a home run, triple, double, four RBIs, and three runs, Landon Stripling who went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBIs, Mason Watler who went 1-for-2 with a double and Ali Banks who was 1-for-3 with a triple. The games in this Perfect Game Showdown took place at the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama. The Met, as it is affectionately called, is the former home of the Minor League Birmingham Barons and the current home of the SEC Baseball Tournament. During breaks in her professional basketball career, Anne Marie Armstrong became a licensed real estate agent. The former Wesleyan and Georgia Bulldogs standout, who has built a successful career in that field since 2016, currently works as director of land acquisition for an Atlanta area home builder. That's her day job. Her side hustle provides her basketball fix. Armstrong just completed her debut season as a college basketball analyst on SEC broadcasts, a welcome return to a sport she played at the pro level from 2013 through 2018, when two ACL injuries accelerated the end of her career. For 11 women's games and one men's game this season, she was back courtside at Stegeman Coliseum, where she played from 2009-13, as a color analyst for Georgia Bulldog games. Armstrong joins a growing list of former Gwinnett athletes who have transitioned into sports broadcasting. The ESPN and SEC Network lineup alone includes Carter, a Buford grad and North Gwinnett grad Tiffany Blackmon as female broadcasters, as well as Shiloh grad David Pollack and Parkview grad Matt Stinchcomb on football coverage. Parkview grad Jeff Francoeur and Duluth grad Nick Green are regulars on Atlanta Braves telecasts. Armstrong brought a considerable amount of knowledge into the job, too. She was a prep star at Wesleyan, where she won 10 state championships — 3 team titles in, 3 in volleyball and one in track and field, and three individually in the high jump — and she was a versatile contributor at Georgia, playing four positions with regularity. The 6-foot-3 guard/forward was selected by the Dream in the 2013 WNBA Draft, and played pro basketball overseas in Brazil, Israel, Poland, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Her playing career ended with back-to-back ACL injuries, including four surgeries on one knee, and she settled back in metro Atlanta with her husband Aleks Sychenko, a former professional handball player and member of the Israeli National Team who she met while playing basketball in Israel. AGCO Corporation, a Gwinnett County-based worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, recently announced it is donating $650,000 to the United Nations Children's Fund in direct support of its earthquake response in Turkey. The donation will facilitate the provision of critical supplies and services to children, adolescents, and families affected by the recent earthquakes. AGCO's donation to UNICEF will be used to distribute relief supplies and services to those in need in Turkey. While the total number of children affected remains unclear, an estimated 5.4 million children live in the provinces impacted by the earthquakes. 2.5 million children need immediate support. Sixteen students from the eighth grade fundamentals of engineering class from Duluth's Coleman Middle School were recently given a very unique experience. In celebration of National Engineer's Week, Duluth-based Columbia Engineering and Services, Inc. hosted the students for a full day, hands-on civil engineering experience. The program day was a fast-paced day of learning about land planning, topography, parking lot design, land surveys, water structures, AutoCAD, AutoTURN, creating a site design, and pulling together a plan for presenting their final designs to a panel of judges — all between 9:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Twenty-five of Columbia's staff participated in working with students and providing guidance throughout the day. This is Columbia's fifth annual event to host the students. Columbia officials said they were honored to have the school's namesake, Brooks Coleman, as a guest for the early part of the day.
