JPMORGAN: “.. A key ingredient to our constructive global outlook is a fading of business caution that will lift the pace of job hiring. Today’s US [JOLTS] data provides support for the outlook .. sent a reassuring signal with respect to hiring ..”

Where in the economy is that NFP hiring gonna happen, when both the IMF and OECD's forecast for 2026 are a paltry ~2% GDP for the United States. Both orgs citing tariffs as the main drag on the US economy.

It will create jobs, but they're going to be highly skilled jobs and not entry level. So new grads who don't have the requisite experience yet to land those skilled positions, like data scientist or sys engineer, are fukd.

And they do it every December, in recent years. Great if you're a shareholder, not so much for the employees who miss out on the addtl compensation (pkg) that revenue could go towards.

They've been saying "two weeks" for like the last 15yrs! It would be comical if it wasn't so serious a topic, and they weren't actively dismantling the ACA. In fact the ACA is largely kaputs with everything they've already done to it since it became law.

Funny thing about soybean exports during Trump years. 🤡

CBP’s policy on recording devices states that “no personally owned devices may be used in lieu of IDVRS [Incident Driven Video Recording Systems] to record law enforcement encounters.” It adds that “recorded data shall not be downloaded or recorded for personal use or posted onto a personally owned device.” The broader DHS policy says that “the use of personally owned [Body Worn Cameras] or other video, audio, or digital recording devices to record official law enforcement activities is prohibited.”

CBP *still* claims that it has no deal with Meta and that these are personal glasses owned by the agents. If they're personal glasses, though, then it is illegal for the agent to record

Border Patrol Agent Recorded Raid with Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses New videos and photos shared with 404 Media show a Border Patrol agent wearing Meta Ray-Bans glasses with the recording light clearly on. This is despite a DHS ban on officers recording with personal ...

New: A CBP agent in Charlotte wore Meta Ray Bans to an immigration raid and used it to record, based on photos shared with 404 Media. We've seen them wearing these glasses before but this is the first specific evidence we have of them recording

Guess it's true that if a man lives long enough he'll see/hear just about everything. Because I sure as hell didn't have Rand Paul the "libertarian" intimating he just might support single payer healthcare, on my 2025 bingo card. 🤷

Preaching to the choir, I'm literally locked and loaded bud.

We are a stupid populace. We elected him twice, with the second one coming on the heels of him attempting a coup. So yeah, we're pretty fukn stupid. But then again this is the same country that brought you Honey BooBoo and the Kardashians

Allow me to translate what "unique and ongoing" means...

"Trump and his got damn tariffs are making our food costs and everything else, go up.."

Paramount ‘hacked’ and labeled ‘fascists’ over Warner Bros buyout offer

Paramount ‘hacked’ on social media and labeled ‘fascists’ over Warner Bros buyout offer

I'll need to see if I can find that report just for my own edification, but yeah that makes even more sense than my theory. 👍

They haven't had a problem releasing others, right? So the reason we won't see the second strike part is it has to be because it shows them committing murder.

And Congressional Dems need to send letters to the Pentagon telling them to preserve the vid so it doesn't go mysteriously "missing" 🙄

"Leavitt The Liar"

She would have fit right in with Goebbels camp, with her "cross" dangling from her neck. I'm honestly surprised she hasn't gone up in flames, she lies so much. But I digress...

Spoiler Alert: the racist will eventually denigrate everyone not white. And if he hasn't yet gotten around to denigrating your non-WASPy heritage, give him some time, it's coming. And don't cry to me when it happens, if you didn't speak up when he was denigrating others.

+1M jobs lost in 2025, yet 87% of Republican approve of his handling of jobs/unemployment???

And I just know that same 87% eat chalk from time to time, ugh...

There's not a snowballs chance in hell the WB portfolio doesn't become a lobbying operation for the Gulf states, if they're putting that kind of money into the deal. How is that making america great?

Also, the Netflix deal is dead. Paramount will "win" WB, at the numbers they're throwing out here.

Kushner and Saudis back hostile takeover of Hollywood giant Jared Kushner is funneling $24 billion from Middle Eastern governments to back a hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery—all while advising President Trump on foreign policy.

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game

Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation.

It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

Is it just me or does anyone else feel at times like we've already lost, but just don't know it yet?

MAGA buying media isn't about making money per se, yes that'd be nice. More importantly it's about the fight to control minds of voters ensuring conservatives remain relevant w/a changing electorate

Yep. First couple of Biden years were rough, largely the result of the pandemic and everything involved in that. But it kept trending down, showing that Powell's strategy for a "soft landing" was working. Ending at it's target of 3% by the time Trump was sworn in.

She's just telling a bald face lie

Onion headline: China Agrees to Purchase 11 U.S. Soybeans

Aha, but this new "prosperity" doctrine Evangelicals subscribe to allows them to run around lying and ripping people off and whatnot. Then all they need to do is come in on Sunday, listen to a sermon or two, and all is forgiven. 🤷

Wash, rinse, repeat....

Nvidia just purchased another boat load of Trump meme coin?

An Open Letter from Former Civil Rights Division Employees On the 68th anniversary of the Civil Rights Division, former employees share an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

Today is the 68th anniversary of the creation of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and over 200 recent employees have shared an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

His remarks threw me for a curve and I'm not sure that even Rand knows what Rand was suggesting here. Because it's quite something to see a Libertarian come this close to making the case for single payer. 🤷

I'm not saying that the Biden admin was lying, only that they tried a similar method of [reminding voters] of just how bad the inflation was, but has come down a lot from when he first took over on the heels of the pandemic.

Comes in handy when you run out of space for the bodies...

What's wild is not only did they sell soybeans to China, they sold A LOT of them in some years under Biden! Despite her assertion that it was non-existent. Which is nothing more than a bald face lie.

But what else is new with this regime. They're lying right now about those narcos strikes...

And she wears that cross around her neck daily, too. I'm honestly surprised that she hasn't gone up in flames at this point, she lies so much 🤷
