Donald Trump would like your attention and this should get it: He wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Whoa mamma, did that work or what? Every news source carried the story.
When Trump says he's going to do something, sometimes he does it—like building a big, beautiful wall on the U.S./Mexico border that Mexico would pay for. A Customs and Border Protection report says: “Trump administration built 52 miles of new primary wall systems and 33 miles of new secondary wall systems” along the 2,000- mile border. The cost to taxpayers, a mere $20 million per mile. That's one expensive political gimmick.
That ain't all—Trump is going to buy Greenland because ... well, why not. Greenlanders won't sell, but who cares what they say. Call it Trumpsylvania.
Yep, every news agency covered it, especially Fox News, which found the idea absolutely brilliant. It is an absolutely brilliant distraction from his hush-money felony sentencing and his controversial cabinet pics, among other things.
But wait, there's more! Trump is going to take back the Panama Canal because if he doesn't do it, the Chinese will. Yep, every news source ran the story. So Wilson, what the hell is Trump really up to?
“There is no philosophy behind Trump’s statements,” said John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser. “There is no strategy. This is just this week’s series of neuron flashes.”
Or as MSNBC's Jen Psaki put it: “Trump is yanking your chain.”

L.A. Wildfires: Blame DEI and Democrats—That’s the Ticket
Since we all know that climate change is a hoax, there must be something or someone else to blame for the Golden State's infernos. Ah-ha, it's DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion)!
"California is committing suicide before our very eyes. DEI is deadly," declared Fox News soothsayer Jesse Walters.
Proof positive: the L.A. Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley is a woman. And that's not all: L.A. Mayor Karen Bass is a woman, too.
“Who gives a s--t if the fire chief is gay,” raged Megyn Kelly. “I’m sorry but who gives a flying fig about who she likes to sleep with. Can you fight the f--king fires madam?”
It's death by DEI, said Newsmax host Rob Finnerty. DEI = DIE. “The first LGBTQ fire chief, something we can all hope to have in our own towns one day,” he said. “The mayor even had her marching in the L.A. Pride parade in front of the fire engines.”
OMG! Marching in the Pride parade—no wonder the place is burning down.
But hold on, it's not just DEI. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is behind the conflagration, according to President-elect Donald Trump. “This is a true tragedy, and it’s a mistake of the governor,” Trump told reporters. “They don’t have any water. Millions and millions of gallons of water that they have, and they send it out into the Pacific.”
Well, that's baloney, too. But why waste a good tragedy when you can blame those damn Democrats.
Postscript—That's going to do it for another frigid week here at Smart Bomb, where we keep track of AI (artificial intelligence) so you don't have to. No Wilson, we're not talking about Congress, even though their intelligence is ... well, never mind.
According to zerobounce.net, AI is going to make our lives more wonderful than ever. “As technology continues to evolve, it’s simplifying routines in ways we never imagined,” said Zero Bounce CEO Liviu Tanase. “This transformation is not just about convenience; it’s about redefining how we live and interact with the world around us.”
We're talking everything from grocery shopping to pet care. Hey Marge, tell the robot to clean the cat box.
That's just the beginning, according to many observers. César A. Hidalgo at the MIT Media Lab wants to replace politicians with AI. Why elect a congressman when you can elect a robot? That's right Wilson, bots don't lie.
But don't worry, say experts, AI won't replace humans any time soon. “We would have to progress a lot deeper in our understanding of creative thoughts, ethics and consciousness before we would even have the building blocks to think of how to create an AI that would be able to wipe out humanity,” said Theo Omtzigt, chief technology officer at Lemurian Labs.
Right. When they tell you not to worry, you know you're screwed.On the bright side Wilson, you and guys in the band could always get a date. So put us in the mood with a little romantic something for the coming age of AI:
I want a robot man to hold me tight
One that I can count on every si-ingle night
He wouldn't run around like other guys
I wouldn't have to listen to his alibis
A little robot man to call my own
I'd never have to worry that he wou-ouldn't phone
He'd never dance with anyone but me
I'd just have to wind him with a robot key
I'd have a steady da-ate (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Seven nights a wee-eek (yay-yay-yay-yay)
And we would never fi-ight (yay-yay-yay-yay)
'Cause it would be impossible for him to speak
Don't want a real live boy, they give me grief
Always make me cry into my ha-andkerchief
So it's a robot man I'm dreamin' of
Because I can depend upon a robot love, yeah
Yeah, just hope I can depend upon a robot love
I mean, because I can depend upon a robot love
Do-oo, because I can depend upon a robot love
Oh-oh, just hope I can depend upon a robot love
