Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Thanks to US tax dollars providing billions in military aid to Israel, Israel is able to provide its citizens with universal health coverage and heavily subsidized college tuition. Israel’s national debt and unemployment rate are lower than our own.
I hope that Saving Israel for Last will put brakes on this mess, and all the politicians with duel citizenship will be sent to Israel for good.
You and me both.
So you know that place in DC that has all the US Presidents and their pictures, and people were pointing out that Biden's picture wasn't displayed there? Is he still not listed as a US President, or did everyone get duped because they don't get their picture on the wall until after their presidency is over?
Asking for an imaginary friend...
Is the imaginary friend in a Learing Center?
I've just been thinking that perhaps nobody ever noticed before that a President doesn't earn their plaque until their presidency ends, and this is maybe why Biden wasn't listed there while he was president. People just took videos and pointed out that Trump was the last one listed and inferred that this was some obvious clue that Trump was still president when perhaps a simpler explanation was already available.
Thanks. is lots of curiosity
Opinions on Miles Mathis Writing?
So this came up on that post that was claiming that the Alex Pretti "recent ICE victim" is a crisis actor
I was reminded of the writing of Miles Mathis; he frequently argues a bunch of things are fakes and scams like this incident (I guess the logic is that it's easy to fake these things for achieving various goals, so why not fake them?)
Don't totally agree with some of his takes (he's not anti-religious but exerts some skepticism I think's unwarranted with some religious subjects) but basically he finds publicly available info that seems contradictory or unlikely to be true and suggests convincing alternative opinions about what's going on
He is a smart man, but when he gets things wrong he imitates the actions of an utter fool." There are 5 different theories of flight, nobody knows how aircraft fly, aircraft cannot fly inverted"
AI Slop Warning
But its really great slop.
Trending Video, 659K views in two days.
The music might be AI too.
I’m starting to see AI music videos on YouTube. Gospel music by Chris Stapleton is popping up on my feed. One video photo had him & George Straight, I clicked on it. I knew immediately it wasn’t either of them. I knew because I’ve listened to them since they popped up on the scene. I saw Stapleton about thirty times in three years. It wasn’t fooling me. Sadly it will get people that don’t know the artist very well. Now I’m seeing a lot of Stapleton gospel. I’ve never heard either of these men sing gospel or talk about God. So many people fall for this junk.
Agreed that deception isn't going to win many supporters.
"Art" as in this video is using AI for good in my opinion.
The tool isn't good or bad; it is those who wield it.
Why doesn't the US just block all welfare/government payments and services to illegals.
Wouldn't that make a lot more people self deport?
It would be a way better look and easier too as you could deport people without lifting a finger.
No school for children who aren't citizens for example.
Executive order and withholding funds to get states to comply.
From what I understand Canada actually does this and it's why Canada doesn't have a huge illegal population compared to US.
Agreed. Why are we even paying welfare and ebt to most American citizens? I understand some people might need occasionally. That’s the problem they get assistance for a lifetime. Yet hurricane flooding victims in NC mountains are still living in tents. The entire “handout” system should be overturned.
I don't think it's going to most. But it is a significant percentage IIUC.
I never liked these programs because they are trying to bandaid over an economy that's not working.
Plus they can Incenrivize not working, which we see in areas where welfare becomes a generational way of life
Since none of it is "officially" going to illegals, its not as simple. You gotta make them expose themselves, like what Trump is doing. Ultimately we will need a MAGA congress after midterms to codify all this correctly.
I see there is kind of a laundering system going on?
The money isn't directly going to where we can identify its definitely an illegal recipient or not.

Are they returning to being American?
LOL!! They aren't. The belief that leftist companies are redeemable is stupid as believing in flat earth. Purge them or dissolve them. If it's too broke don't fix it.
