Trump shares video of Obamas as apes in Truth Social post | LiveNOW from FOX
<a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/tag/people/donald-j-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a> shared a video depicting the Obamas as apes in a series of late-night social media posts Thursday.The clip appeared near the end of a minute-long video boasting falsehoods about the 2020 election. It was posted at 11:44 p.m. ET Thursday.The video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, discussed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Near the end of the video, a short clip of the Obamas portrayed as apes is spliced in with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" playing in the background. The video remained on Trump's account for much of Friday morning before it was removed. <strong>RELATED: </strong><a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/news/trump-threatens-sue-trevor-noah-grammys-joke"><strong>Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammys</strong></a>The short clip appears to be part of a longer, AI-generated video shared in October on X called "President Trump: King of the Jungle." The longer video shows other Democrats depicted as various animals, like <a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/tag/people/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former President Joe Biden</a> and former <a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/tag/people/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vice President Kamala Harris</a> as zebras. Trump was shown as a lion, and the video ended with the animals bowing down to him. <a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/tag/people/barack-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Former President Barack Obama</a> and <a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/tag/people/michelle-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former First Lady Michelle Obama</a> have not yet responded publicly to Trump's post. The ape comparison is described by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/opinion/roseanne-racism-blacks-apes.html"><i><u>The New York Times</u></i></a> as "one of the oldest and most profoundly racist slanders in American history.""Historical racist images and books dehumanizing African Americans in the 19th and early 20th century relied heavily on the Negro-ape metaphor, which was used to stereotype Blacks as lazy, dim and aggressive," said Phillip Atiba Solomon, the <a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/511096#:~:text=Many%20U.S.%20citizens%20may%20not,Americans%20with%20apes%20because%20people"><u>lead author of a 2008 study</u></a> about the connection between discrimination and comparing Black people to apes.  "Such dehumanization and animal imagery have been used for centuries to justify violence against many oppressed groups."<strong>RELATED: </strong><a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/news/trump-stance-greenland-is-due-not-getting-nobel-peace-prize"><strong>Trump: Stance on Greenland is due to not getting Nobel Peace Prize</strong></a>Obama, as a candidate and the country's first Black president, was sometimes featured as a primate on T-shirts and other merchandise.California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other prominent Democrats were quick to decry the post. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, called it "the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.""Praying it was fake," Scott wrote. "The President should remove it."Another GOP senator, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, also called for the post to be taken down. "Even if this was a Lion King meme, a reasonable person sees the racist context to this," Ricketts posted. "The White House should do what anyone does when they make a mistake: remove this and apologize."Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York called it "wrong and incredibly offensive.""Disgusting behavior by the President," Newsom’s office wrote on X. "Every single Republican must denounce this. Now.""Trump is a vile racist old man," Rep. Herb Conaway, D-N.J., said on X. While speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One Friday evening, Trump said he had only seen the "first part" of the video and claimed he did not know that the video contained offensive footage. "I didn't see the whole thing. I guess toward the end of it, there was some kind of a picture that people don't like, I wouldn't like it either," Trump said. He claimed his staff usually vet the content that is posted to his social media accounts, but "guessed somebody didn't" this time around. When asked if he would apologize to the Obamas for the video, Trump said no.He then quickly pivoted to alleged claims of rampant voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. In a statement released Friday morning, the White House called widespread criticism of the video "fake outrage.""This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.Later Friday, a <a href="https://x.com/scottwongDC/status/2019822455813284303" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House official told NBC</a> that "a White House staffer erroneously made the post" and "it has been taken down."Even after it was deleted, Republicans continued to condemn the post. "The post was blatantly racist and inexcusable," Sen. John Curtis, a Utah Republican, said on X. "It should never have been posted or left published for so long."Trump has a history of intense, personal criticism of the Obamas.When Obama was in the White House, Trump advanced the false claims that the 44th president, who was born in Hawaii, was born in Kenya and was constitutionally ineligible to serve. Trump repeatedly demanded that Obama produce birth records and prove he was a "natural-born citizen" as required to become president.Obama eventually released his Hawaii records. Trump finally acknowledged during his 2016 campaign, after having won the Republican nomination, that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Signs of rain finally return to Bay Area thanks to pattern change. Added: Feb 6, 2026
Signs of rain finally return to Bay Area thanks to 'major pattern change'
Site: SFGATE
"Nuisance rain" is forecast to kick off the shift on Super Bowl Sunday.
After recent record-high temperatures and a monthlong gap in significant rain, forecasters say a big weather shift in the Bay Area could begin on Sunday evening. The incoming light rain expected for the region marks the first sign of a “major pattern change” for California, according to the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center. “A much wetter pattern is favored from the West Coast to the Continental Divide due to a predicted developing and strengthening trough over the West by mid-February,” the center reported on Thursday. But the expected precipitation will likely not dampen the spirits of the tens of thousands of fans gathering for the Super Bowl, not to mention the players, at Levi’s Stadium this weekend. Beginning after sunset on Sunday, there’s a less than 15% chance of light rain for the South Bay, according to the weather service’s forecast. Higher chances of rain are expected for early next week. “On Sunday afternoon and evening, we’re talking about very light, nuisance rain,” Jenn Soulat, a meteorologist with the weather service, told SFGATE. “You don’t want to stand outside with paper.” The first signal of the pattern change is forecast to show up Sunday evening into Monday across the Bay Area. The highest likelihood of light showers is predicted for the North Bay. And temperatures will likely start dropping this weekend, returning to the seasonal average range of around 60 degrees by early next week. A high-pressure system sat above the region in recent weeks, Soulat explained. “We have a low-pressure system that’s moving southward along the California coast through the weekend, which is going to change the entire overhead weather pattern that we’ve been experiencing,” she said. “This system will break down that high-pressure ridge and bring in some midlevel moisture, so we’ll see increased cloud cover and those slight chances of rain.” Light rain could continue into next week across the Bay Area. From Monday through Wednesday, about a quarter inch of rain could fall. The North Bay and coastal mountains might see slightly more. The chance of rain is expected to taper off by Thursday but then could build again. “Overall, we’re getting back into a somewhat active pattern after this break for a while,” Rick Canepa, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office, told SFGATE. Although the winter started wet, with some parts of the Bay Area even flooding, it hasn’t rained notably in the region since early January. — As La Niña is ending, signs of El Niño emerge for California— California skier dies at Tahoe ski resort— Locals outraged as court OKs Skunk Train's eminent domain request— In the 1990s, he made millions off 'Dilbert.'

New study uses Neanderthals to demonstrate gap between generative AI and scholarly knowledge Added: Feb 6, 2026
New study uses Neanderthals to demonstrate gap between generative AI and scholarly knowledge
Technological advances over the past four decades have turned mobile devices and computers into the world's largest library, where information is just a tap away. Phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches—they're a part of everyday life, simplifying access to entertainment, information, and each other. Ongoing advancements in generative artificial intelligence are giving these technologies even more of an edge. Whether someone asks their device where dinosaurs lived or how accelerated their pulse is, AI can get the information quicker than technology has ever been able to do. Accuracy, on the other hand, is still in question.
