That’s weird. I’m listening to an AI and it keeps adding the word “asterisk”. I know what an asterisk is but I decided to look it up anyways but I misspelled it and looked up “asterik” and the google page crashed, every time I tried to look it up it crashed.
So much for the power of AI.
Surprising…There shouldn’t be a risk with asterik 🙂
***
The “*” means everything in SQL so it might be confusing it. It also messes up in html too.
The second part of a SQL query is the name of the column you want to retrieve for each record you are getting. You can obviously retrieve multiple columns for each record, and (only if you want to retrieve all the columns) you can replace the list of them with * , which means “all columns“

Try Grok3 it’s freaking amazing
truely is!! I’ve been having a running convo for over 2 weeks with xray images, results, blood work, etc and this thing is amazing. Walked me through several medical issues, what is most likely happening, what tests I should be asking an endo and my femur surgeon. Totally amazed. I bet doctors hate it though because patients come in educated and won’t get shuffled around
Do NOT feed the beast! Just sayin’ 😉
The people actually “answering” questions were on break. “AI” is just another IT fad. Computers only do, and can only do, what the programming code tells it to do. Nothing more. There can be all the If This Then That Else This Other Thing decision-making trees you want but a computer cannot think, it cannot tell itself what to do, and cannot make an independent decision by itself if there is nothing in the code for that.
its a wealth of information though … I’ve used it very much recently for advice on a 3 revision femur fracture. Asking about the tests drs are doing, what to expect, why are they doing this and that. It’s AMAZING. Teachs you what the doctors don’t know or don’t want to tell you are in too big of a hurry to tell you
Yeah, a glorified decision tree.
Perhaps it was referencing this ?

Article from The Gateway Pundit regarding positive news:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “In the final months of the election, President Trump repeatedly called for removing toxins from our food supply. He added his voice to the millions of MAHA moms who were touting the Make America Healthy Again agenda.
The first step is radical transparency because, right now, not even the U.S. government knows what’s in our food. In 1958, the government created a designation called Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) so that common ingredients like salt and baking soda could be exempt from testing.
But today, it isn’t just salt and baking soda. Food companies and cooperative regulators have expanded the GRAS exemption, allowing these companies to decide for themselves whether a substance is generally recognized as safe. No FDA approval is needed.
European nations, on the other hand, require that a chemical be proven safe before it becomes a food ingredient. In our country, the GRAS standard means that every chemical is presumed safe until proven dangerous. That proof might not come until millions of Americans are suffering from chronic disease. This mass experiment on the American population with GRAS has, in short, been a catastrophe.
We now have around 10,000 chemicals in our food. Europe has only 400.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/health-secretary-robert-f-kennedy-jr-ends-fda/
I read it too and agree wholeheartedly.
I also disagree 100% with the rule or law that allows food manufacturers the legal protection to declare that a product has 0% of a known bad ingredient, like trans fats for instance, if the manufacturer decreed serving size contains less than .5 grams per serving.
So a chip manufacture says that a serving size is ONE chip and let’s say that chip has .49 grams of trans fats. The manufacturer gets to put 0 trans fat on the label and a 15 oz bag of chips could have 7.35 oz of trans fats, not good for heart patients.
Informal survey, who thinks a serving size is ONE chip?
OK, I get it, we don’t have to eat the darn chips, but the truth is also the truth. So this is immoral.
January 6 Investigation
Barry Loudermilk from Georgia has done a very good job uncovering many lies and misinformation the Pelosi House Select Committee put out to hurt President Trump and the MAGA movement. His investigation was limited in resources, but he has evidence that Liz Cheney manipulated the information they presented in their report.
Speaker Johnson and Loudermilk have said they were going to continue his investigation and establish a J6 committee, with subpoena power to get to the truth. Now Johnson is apparently waffling on this along with other Establishment UniParty politicians. They just want to move on. Of course the Democrats and media keep spreading lies about what happened on J6.
GA representative Loudermilk wants to continue the investigation, but not getting the support he was promised. He is a member of the a house Judicial Committee and I guess Jim Jordan along with Speaker Johnson are not that interested.
My opinion is that the investigation would uncover several Establishment UniParty so-called Republicans were working with Pelosi, Schumer and others to cause J6. People like McConnell, Pence and others.
Anyway, here is an article of Loudermilk on CNN outlining where we are.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/johnson-loudermilk-trump-journey-6-investigation-cheney/index.html
This just shows once again how corrupt the Establishment UniParty so-called Republicans are.
The J6 event happened because of the corrupt 2020 election and the riot was planned and instigated by the Establishment, IMO.
ESTABLISHMENT COVERUP !
CNN Link: 🤞
https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/johnson-loudermilk-trump-january-6-investigation-cheney/index.html
How about they release ALL of the Jsix footage and We The People can decide for ourselves.
Capitol Police fired munitions at a peaceful protest group. Why?
“Johnson still has not hung a plaque to honor the Capitol Police officers who responded to the attack on January 6, even though former President Joe Biden signed a law that Congress passed back in 2022 mandating such a plaque be displayed on the front of the Capitol.”
WTH?
Roger that, MK41
Does anyone know if the doctors are even allowed to save babies born alive following an abortion in minnesota?
Democrat party is a death cult
Did any church leaders speak out?
Democrats are pure evil, there is no sugarcoating it.
This is why every abortion they have should be a sterilization so they never ever get to procreate their poison.
This is one of the most disgusting things I have read this year. I had the opportunity to meet a woman who survived a botched abortion. The nurse that was helping with the abortion actually saved the baby and fled with her. Her testimony was extremely powerful!
This is extremely evil. May they all rot in hell.
I’ve read there is a fairly large survivors’ group – many have deformities or worse. Media of course won’t go there.
Well they’re fetuses, not human beings. At least according to the utopian, statist, collectivist.
Remember this?

PDJT speaking to the DOJ (from an hour ago).
Kash speaking earlier in the day – a fair number of comments along the lines of “when we see arrests and conviction, come back and talk to us.”
Too little too late.
Fentanyl is routinely given to every birthing MotherBaby who agrees to the procedure called epidural pain management —
– there is no separation between their chemistry. The placenta filters out everything the size of a blood corpuscle & larger; fentanyl molecules are like mosquitos through a chain link fence.
Every baby who’s mother labors under epidural anesthesia is Born On Fentanyl; has been for 3+ decades that I know of.
It leaves an imprint that says “when life gets really intense & challenge is seriously hard – gotta numb that feeling”.
People recapitulate their birth trauma throughout life in attempts to heal it (result never removes cause, so… the hamster wheel cycle).
Just move along folks, Nothing to see here… *doctors* are in control & that makes it OK – ‘harmless’ even.

DOGE’s Key Revelation: A Federal Budget Made Into a Maze Impervious to Reform
March 03, 2025
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/03/03/doges_key_revelation_a_federal_budget_made_into_a_maze_impervious_to_reform_1093963.html
“Federal government spending is nebulous and almost designed to be that way because no one person benefits from it being straightforward,” said Lydia Mashburn Newman, a managing director at the American Institute for Economic Research. “No one is trying to get a holistic picture of what this or that agency is doing and the way money gets appropriated is very fragmented.”
On Jan. 16, four days before Biden vacated the White House, the Government Accounting Office said it was “unable to provide an opinion on the reliability of the federal government’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024 and 2023.”
The Office of Management and Budget has also flunked six of the 24 departments and agencies it looked at, including Labor and Education. The Defense Department has failed seven consecutive audits, while the Department of Education hasn’t gotten a “clean” opinion for three years.
It is hard to pass an audit when you don’t follow the basic rules of accounting. Musk reported that he was having difficulty tracing $4.7 trillion in federal spending because the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS)—a code that links payments to budget items— was allowed to be optional for years and often left blank.
“Complexity isn’t an accident; it’s a consequence of a government that has grown far beyond its core functions and is tied down by a self-serving bureaucracy and public-sector union power,” said Romina Boccia, director of budget and entitlement policy at the libertarian Cato Institute.
“That complexity isn’t just an inconvenience – it shields waste, fuels inefficiency, and makes reform harder,” she said. “A government that has grown too big and too far-reaching makes it difficult to track what’s spent, let alone rein it in.”
Well I’m counting on President Trump to be our Alexander the Great and take the DOGE sword and cut that complexity knot!!! It must be done we have no choice if the Republic and Constitution are to survive! We must end massive, wasteful corrupt spending and eliminate the trillion dollar Federal debt!!! JMO
“shields waste, fuels inefficiency”
That is most certainly a feature not a flaw. There is a reason the counties surrounding DC are in the top ten of the most WEALTHY in the nation.
Disturbing and Disheartening!
Where the money went can be traced. When the Treasury Dept puts money into a bank account that money can be traced, where it came from and where it went. Unless that info has been erased and no data backup is available, which wouldn’t surprise me.
I’m willing to bet a lot of bureaucrats are frantically moving 💰 around, and have been since Jan 20.
“they all also used an SSN with the incorrect name.”

“Under a provision of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, a law passed in 1952, any immigrants may be deported if the secretary of state deems their presence in the country potentially adverse to American foreign policy. Legal experts have said that provision is rarely invoked, and Khalil’s lawyers have said it was not intended to silence dissent.”
He has done far more than use his “freedom of speech”
Very true. His lawyers recent filing is insane as well.
Another first for PresidenT TrUmp.
Hit in face by reporter’s microphone. Handles the incident with grace and humor. Such a special guy.
Did anybody see who brushed Trump in the mouth with the mic? Who did thaat?
Was it intentional? That’s the $Million dollar question.
I haven’t found info yet, but why on earth didn’t SS confiscate that mic right away?
That was my first thought – what was on the mic?
An attempt to see if this could be a potential route to well…you know…next time have it tainted with a deadly neurotoxin?
This is outrageous. If it had been accidental, there would have been an immediate apology. Why didn’t SS move on this person?
https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1900682756251623611
That is outrageous! If that would have happened to ozero or bite me, that would be page 1 news and the lead story for years.
Where was the protective detail?????
He really thought about it. I can’t imaagine what wentthrough his mind. The President needs something like an electronic fence around him. No one should be in his personal space.
wiped it across his whole mouth.
Could have snagged dna. Surely SS thinks of these things, ya think?
Surprised SS would let something like that happen. Something about invading personal space maybe?
Kept his cool though. Points.

“Federalist Investigates: Serbian Revolutionary Linked To USAID Now Works For ‘Bidenbucks’-Affiliated Group”
Excerpts:
This ‘looks like an insidious intersection of the Bidenbucks and USAID scandals,’ said Adam Gibbs, Foundation for Government Accountability
veritable who’s who of left-wing NGOs had a seat at the table in creating and carrying out President Joe Biden’s executive ordertransforming the federal government into a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats.
But one group involved in Biden bucks” cabal has taken leftism to the next level, tapping a renowned revolutionary to lead one of its lengthy indoctrination programs, a Federalist investigation finds. It turns out Vot-er a leftist voter registration outfit in the healthcare space, isn’t joking when it boasts that it is “revolutionizing voter engagement.”
And wouldn’t you know it. The corrupt and criminally wasteful USAID has a part to play in this strange story of leftist bedfellows.
https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/13/federalist-investigates-serbian-revolutionary-linked-to-usaid-now-works-for-bidenbucks-affiliated-group/
This is the type of thing which has caused the ‘progressive’ elements of the Dims to go bonkers over the shutdowns, clawbacks, contract cancellations, etc. – their lifeblood, grift, and electionerring conduits are being shut down. It’s also why they are so PO’d at Schumer at the moment.

Pam Bondi.
My gripe.
She is too handsy with PDJT IN a coddle handling way, painting image like Bondi.
Conveniently can use photo-op two different ways. One, that something is going on between two with the going to touch again but refrained as if hiding something. Other is turning him, direct him because he is confused.
Of course, neither true, but, as a professional woman she knows better. Yet, she broke professional decorum and professional accepted business behavior.
Too deliberate.

Time to turn D.O.G.E. loose on the DOJ and the 3 letter agencies attached to it.
All employees who touched any part of the weaponization in the past 8 years need to be terminated, yesterday.
All contracts and ownership of any private companies, processes, equipment or employees need to be targeted for termination yesterday. Special attention to the social media maze of companies and databases. Final determination of action within 30 days.
All foreign and dual citizenship employees need to be terminated, yesterday.

I just watched a video showing President Trump and Pam Bondi walking side by side as they walked into the room where the President Trump addressed the DOJ. What a poser Pam is. She was walking and smiling as if she were in a beauty pageant or on a fashion runway. I was expecting her to do the princess wave.
In a better timeline… he was there to publicly fire her arse.
Princess wave LOLOL! Yes, her optics are terrible and she doesn’t seem to possess any natural political instincts, in my opinion. That outfit was most definitely not work attire, so . . . is she working or what?
….” BREAKING: Columbia University Starts Expelling Anti-Israel Agitators”…..
The Carney in control of the Canadian circus is continuing TrueDumb’s policy of getting in bed with the UK and EU globalists (no surprise considering his background). From an article today on his intentions.
Carney told reporters he does not have plans to travel to the US, but looks forward to speaking with Trump at the “appropriate moment.” He said he met the US president during the latter’s first term in office at Group of Seven and Group of 20 meetings.
Instead…
Carney plans to travel to France and the UK early next week, a signal that he believes his government needs to shore up relationships with major European countries that are also targets of Trump’s trade war. He is also preparing a phone call with Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president’s office said.
