Google A.I. Picked Up Deb Haaland Label

A couple of days ago, I came up with the nickname, "Princess Running Chicken", for New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland. This was due to her refusal to debate her Republican opponent, former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull. 

This is a pattern that started during the primary campaign. Either she is scared to debate (she's not the brightest bulb on the marquee and is inarticulate), feels entitled to the office or is taking part in a Democrat strategy of candidates refusing debates (New Mexico U.S. Senator Ben Ray Lujan is also refusing to debate his GOP opponent) or all combined. 

Yesterday, for the fun of it, I Googled Princess Running Chicken and found that Google's A.I. Overview feature picked it up.

Here it is:

Others have come up with nicknames. One of them is "Ducking Deb". 

It seems that her refusal to debate is backfiring on Haaland. People have posted that they have changed their vote to Hull due to her refusal, citing, "No debate, no vote!" 

This campaign is getting more interesting by the day.

What Happened To The DOGE Payments?

President Trump announced a $5,000 dividend payment to every American adult should the GOP win the midterm election this November and retain control of the House and Senate.

This immediately brought to mind, to me and many others: What happened to the proposed $2,000 DOGE tariff payments? 

I did a little checking and this is what Google's AI gizmo came up with:

What Happened to the Proposal

Never Enacted: While President Trump publicly floated concepts like returning a portion of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) savings or issuing tariff rebate checks, no formal legislation authorizing these payments ever passed Congress.  (https://www.ms.now/news/news-analysis/trump-cash-payments-project-47), 

 (https://time.com/article/2026/09/10/trump-dividend-five-thousand-dollars-midterms-republican-convention/)

Disputed Savings: The idea of a DOGE-funded payout originally relied on trillions in federal spending cuts, but independent audits and government data showed actual documented savings were a fraction of initial claims before DOGE concluded its operations.  (https://www.ms.now/news/news-analysis/trump-cash-payments-project-47)

Legal Hurdles: Proposed tariff-funded checks faced major legal setbacks when the Supreme Court struck down sweeping emergency tariffs, removing the anticipated revenue stream meant to back such rebates
