Trump like George Washington
George Washington's coat was hit four times by Indian’s firing rifles at him. They took out two horses beneath him, but he was unharmed. Washington later credited the Almighty for His divine providence.
Kimberly Cheatle - Wikipedia
During her tenure, Cheatle was assigned to the Vice Presidential Protective Division during the Obama administration.[3]
In 2021, U.S. president Joe Biden awarded Cheatle a Presidential Rank Award for exceptional performance.[7] In August 2022, Biden announced the appointment of Cheatle to be director of the United States Secret Service,[8] and she assumed office on September 17, 2022.[9] Cheatle took over the Secret Service following "a turbulent couple months in which the agency best known for protecting presidents has faced controversies related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol."[10]
Trump Shooter & The Hush-Money Judge
As details pour in about Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, we see that he apparently donated money to Democrat PAC ActBlue. In an interesting twist, this is the same PAC that Judge Juan Merchan contributed to.
Recall that Judge Merchan is presiding over the Trump hush-money
trial. The NY Commission on Judicial Conduct found that Merchan’s
contribution violated the rules, but let him off with a warning.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, Trump rally shooter: What we know about him
Crooks is registered to vote as a Republican in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to county voter records. His voter registration status has been active since 2021.
All The 33's in this attempt
Pennsylvania = 33rd state by area.
Happened 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days before the election.
Date was 13/7 and 137 is the 33rd prime number. Also Caesar’s birthday.
3030 days after Trump’s tombstone appeared in Central Park.
3333 days after Beau Biden died.
33 weeks 3 days after the JFK anniversary.
3 years 333 days after Robert Trump’s death (his brother).
Trump was shot at 3:11pm
Biden said it’s “time to put Trump in the bullseye “
“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”
Can Hairstylists Tell When a Recession’s Coming?
“We’ve all heard that strippers are the first people to know when the economy is getting bad, and there’s a recession coming or whatever because nobody’s giving them business because they don’t have any extra money,” she shares. She then argues, “As a hairstylist, I have my own theory. When girls start going natural or getting more low lights, getting smudge roots—that’s how we know.”
“It’s not just because they don’t have enough money for maintenance, but they also don’t have enough time to come to the salon and get their highlights touched up every four weeks because they’re working or they’re stressed or busy,” she explains.
“They don’t have enough time for self-care,” she continues.
Canada Day Fireworks BOTG
ITM Adam, couple of points for you my friend. I'll go straight to the point.
One : Canada day (July first) There was almost no fireworks compared to past years. We are in Ladysmith BC. There use to be multiple little towns around us organizing fireworks for our national holyday but this year there was none except in Victoria wich is a big city on Vancouver Island. It's confirmation of you theory about economic difficulties.
B : there is a great guy on youtube that does analysis regarding earthquakes, solar activity and such. He is a great listen. If you would like to loom him up it's The Real BPEatyhwatch. He is not political at all but funny enough he made a commentary about Biden calling Trump his VP and also the booboo he made introducing Zelensky as President Putin at the NATO summit... lol.
Thank you fir your courage.

ChatGPT maker secretly developing new type of AI – Reuters — RT World News
The way Strawberry works is “a tightly kept secret” even within OpenAI itself, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The source said the project involves a “specialized way” of processing an AI model after it has been pre-trained on extensive datasets. Its aim is to enable artificial intelligence to not just generate answers to queries, but to plan ahead sufficiently to conduct so-called “deep research,” by navigating the internet autonomously and reliably, the source explained.
Reuters said it had reviewed an internal OpenAI document, detailing a plan for how the US firm could deploy Strawberry to perform research. However, the agency said it was not able not establish when the technology will become available to the public. The source described the project as a “work in progress.”
NVIDIA GB200 Scientific Computing BOTG
Hi Adam,
I'm a few episodes behind, but episode 1673 has a few clips discussing the NVIDIA GB-200 superchip. The clip has somebody claiming that the new Blackwell chip will be great for scientific computing, especially CFD.
Scientific computing still almost exclusively uses FP64 (double precision floating point) for calculations. The Blackwell chip has FP64 performance of 90 TFLOPs, which is only a 25% increase over the H100 GPU. The memory bandwidth of the blackwell chip is double that of the H100, which can have a large impact on performance. However, that amount of increase is not unexpected for a new generation of the hardware, and isn't better than what the NVIDIA competitors are offering.
Maybe the person in the video was excited about the NVL72 system (consisting of GB200 superchips), but even that isn't particularly novel.
As somebody who has been deeply ingrained in optimizing performance of scientific computing codes for some of the largest and fastest High Performance Computing systems in the world, I can confidently say that those of us in HPC who actually understand how hardware impacts application performance are pretty underwhelmed by the utility of the newest NVIDIA products for scientific computing. NVIDIA seems to have focused on AI and basically ignored the needs of scientific computing.
Not to mention the fact that the cost of NVIDIA hardware is so high that the performance per dollar of NVIDIA for scientific computing isn't very good.
Many people still purchase new NVIDIA hardware for scientific computing, but that is because they have already ported their models to CUDA and don't want to invest the resources porting the software to other alternatives.

Dutch WHO virologist joins anti Raw Milk campaign
Perhaps you have been made aware of it already but yesterday12/07/2024 Marion Koopman the Dutch virologist who works with the WHO and has been a very vocal opponent of the lab-leak theory (?!) (and was part of the WHO group doing research in Whuan about the outbreak in early 2021) Has just sent out a message on X about the dangers of drinking Raw Milk.
Clearly the same people are in play as with the Covid playbook.
She has linked to an AP message about a case of 165 people in cali getting salmonella poisoning. In the article the message is immediately turned to the bird flu topic.
See links attached.

GLP-1 news - Insurers are steering patients toward surgery instead BOTG
I work at a Third Party Administrator for group health benefit plans.
I know…I’m a real hoot.
Anyways, I’m enjoying your coverage of the GLP-1 craze, and I’ve been keeping my ear to the ground at work for any info you might find useful.
Our Chief Legal Officer shared an article that was published earlier this week about how it’s getting easier for patients to get coverage for bariatric surgery because it’s cheaper for insurers than GLP-1s (
[https://www.beckerspayer.com/payer/the-old-fashioned-weight-loss-method-being-embraced-by-insurers.html](https://www.beckerspayer.com/payer/the-old-fashioned-weight-loss-method-being-embraced-by-insurers.html) ).
Bariatric surgery tends to be a covered service for our clients (large employers), but patients are usually required to jump through a lot of insurance hoops because it’s so expensive. The thought of that surgery actually being preferred by insurers really points to how out of control GLP-1s have gotten.
Example: My coworker has a family member who is roughly 40 lbs overweight. They were denied Medicaid (Nevada) coverage for GLP-1s and were guided towards bariatric surgery instead, which was approved.
In addition to bariatric surgery being cheaper long term, patients also get more reliable results with surgery than with GLP-1s. According to the VP of clinical affairs at BCBSA, “most people are unlikely to see lasting benefits” when taking GLP-1s because they often stop taking them before any results are even possible (
[https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/glp-1s/most-weight-loss-drug-users-quit-before-seeing-benefits-bcbs-association-finds.html](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/glp-1s/most-weight-loss-drug-users-quit-before-seeing-benefits-bcbs-association-finds.html)
). Could there be a correlation between higher weight and lower discipline??? Maybe that’s why the even easier GLP-1 pill is being developed (
[https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/glp-1s/pfizer-finds-early-success-in-daily-glp-1-pill.html#:~:text=Pfizer's%20oral%20GLP%2D1%20drug,modified%2Drelease%20formulations%20of%20danuglipron.](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/glp-1s/pfizer-finds-early-success-in-daily-glp-1-pill.html#:~:text=Pfizer's%20oral%20GLP%2D1%20drug,modified%2Drelease%20formulations%20of%20danuglipron.) )
My two cents:
Driving people towards a surgery is very extreme, expensive, and unnecessary option when you could just incentivize healthy behavior. A little fat shaming paired with health benefits for nutritional counseling and personal training could go a long way to saving insurers money and saving patients from the extra health risks that come with surgery or medications. Big pharma and hospitals would be the biggest losers with that play.
As extreme heat bakes the West, emergency helicopters struggle to fly
I was skeptical, so did some searching. Found some info on different aircraft, which points to max operating temps between 120 and 125. Another interesting post from a pilot here:
Wanted your take on this as well being the only pilot with standing that I know.
Jobs Karma works BOTG
I was the lead-off executive producer and requested "jobs karma" on the last show.
My team of 25 was told of our layoff on April 15. I needed to find a new job inside the software company where I had been for 24 years, or I would be gone on August 30. The day after the show, I got the job offer I wanted. I should have requested "jobs karma" sooner or sent my resume to Linda Lupatkin with code "bongino"

Louis Body dementia episode 1677 BOTG
My father in law was diagnosed with Parkinson’s over 20 years ago. Through his many medications he was able to function with little issue until last year. That’s when the hallucinations started and they escalated quickly to the point that we have placed him in special care. From what we have researched on the subject most Parkinson’s patients will eventually succumb to Louis Body dementia if they live long enough, it is thought to be a side effect of the Parkinson’s medications. Doctors have dialed back his meds and the hallucinations have lessened but now the conditions of Parkinson’s are increasing as a result.
I agree (100%) with your producers that talked about here mothers cat in the plant and the anger and refusal of help. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry, my father in law is convinced he is the president of Campbell Soup, and that all his gold is hiding in the floor tiles. For the record he has no gold and was the deputy fire chief of the city for most of his life. I’m sure the many chemicals he was exposed to fighting industrial fire contributed to his condition

Trump Shooter location BOTG
The “white roof” the guy in the Twitter video is talking about is ‘AGR International’ which is a Chinese company with only one location — in rural Pennsylvania.
Trump's REAL Project 2025
4Chan statement from CAT Team member who took out shooter
My name is Jonathan Willis, I'm the officer in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof at Trump's rally. I came here to inform the public that I had the assassin in my sights for at least 3 minutes, but the head of the secret service refused to give the order to take out the perp. 100% the top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took the shots at president Trump.
I didn't follow the orders though, as soon as the shooter opened on Trump I returned fire despite strict orders to not engage. I had eyes on the shooter for three minutes watching him fiddle with his rifle and adjust the scope, it was obvious he was a shooter yet I wasn't allowed to engage.
After I killed the shooter I was arrested, questioned by the FBI, and just released an hour ago. Already lost my job for not following orders, but
I'm glad I took the shots anyway.
