adverb-
In a literal manner; word for word.
In a literal or strict sense.
Really; actually.
According to the primary and natural import of words; not figuratively.
With close adherence to words; word by word.
speech act word for word; not figuratively; not as an idiom or metaphor

But, one entry says this, bowing to the now-common and INCORRECT usage [as Donalds did]:
Used as an intensive before a figurative expression.
[Why does anyone need to intensify a metaphor?]**

adverb-
In a figurative manner; by means of a figure or resemblance; metaphorically or tropically.
Used to indicate that what follows is to be taken as a figure of speech, not literally.

Likewise, I detest the use of “virtually” to mean “almost; nearly; practically” rather than the more correct “in efficacy or effect only, and not actually,” despite the dictionary writers who have caved to the public’s incorrect but common usage.

Wiktionary even uses “virtually” as a synonym for “literally” — aaaggghhhh!!!!

None of the definitions of the root “virtual” carry any connotation of “almost” — there is no logical reason for “virtually” to mean anything other than to indicate “In essence, but not in fact.”
Or, for Wiktionary, as a synonym for “figuratively.”

adjective –
Existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name.
Existing in the mind, especially as a product of the imagination. Used in literary criticism of a text.
Computers: Created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network.

People just think using “virtually” at the (figurative) drop of a hat makes them sound more intelligent, whereas any peon can say (correctly) “almost” or “practically.”

A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Literally.

**If you do have some desire to intensify your figurative metaphor, the solution is to use virtually!

“What they are doing is trying to throw virtually a grenade into the room” is almost correct, except for the error of placement: “What they are doing is trying to virtually throw a grenade into the room.”

Speaking to reporters amid the seditious uproar that saw Trump vow prison for the “traitors”, Donalds refused to entertain their victim act.

“I’m not going to give them any standing about ‘how do they feel?’ That’s BS! They KNEW what they were doing […] They created a political STUNT to get a response and they didn’t like the response!” Donalds urged.

Cutting off a reporter mid-question on presidential restraint, he roared:

“Stop. No, no. And this is where I’m gonna push back. What they are doing is trying to throw literally [figuratively]* a grenade into the room, it goes off. And then they’re going to claim outrage? They have no moral standing to claim outrage!”

A military coup against Trump was considered when high officials met to “War Game” the 2020 election, should Trump cling to power.

“This is where I think the seeds of the plot were planted. Here’s what that means for the J6 pipe bomber investigation.”

Here’s grok AIs opinion:

No, there has not been a real increase in global volcanic activity over the past century (1925–2025) or the past decade (2015–2025). What appears as an increase in reported eruptions is largely due to improved detection and reporting technologies, such as satellites, global communication networks, and expanded human populations near volcanic regions. Scientific consensus from organizations like the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program (GVP) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirms that actual eruption rates remain stable, with 40–50 volcanoes typically in continuing eruption status annually and about 20 actively erupting on any given day. Large eruptions (Volcanic Explosivity Index [VEI] ?4, which eject at least 0.1 km³ of material) have remained constant over the past two centuries, providing the most reliable indicator of true activity levels since their regional/global effects (e.g., ash plumes) are harder to miss.

Since this video was made in 2023, the exchange value of the Dollar has fallen. But back a couple years ago, the dollar was strong, and dollar=Euro parity was definitely on the table

And with a strong Dollar, it made a trip to the US expensive. For example, in that summer I visited a hostel in Kitzbuhel, Austria. The young German woman in charge told me how expensive it was for her to have a ski holiday in Vail, Colorado.

I chimed in how Vail and Kitzbuhel’s home property costs were very similar (nothing with a view under $1 million), in costs — because of spending demand from Munich and Souther Bavaria (the richest area of Germany) — only a few hours drive away.

Therefore, Eva Zu Beck is right in this perception, back then. It’s changed since then, as it seemed the EU would go on a spending bing for military armaments. Now, I think both are similarly priced after currency exchange is figured in.

RESOLVE both, and then I will agree that the real bomber has probably been found.
