Trump Says Heโ€™ll Fire BLS Head After Weak Jobs Data President Donald Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after a report showed weak job growth, prompting outcries from economists and policymakers over the integrity of the data ...

BLS is the global gold standard. But in Trumpโ€™s facile and loose economic fantasies real data is dangerous. Fire the messenger, and kill the horse they ride in onโ€ฆ

Trump Posts Video of the Night Obama Humiliated Him as He Pushes for Prosecution Donald Trump shared an edited 5-minute mash-up of Obama mocking him.

Told ya soโ€ฆ thin skinned narcissists hold grudges beyond healthy reflection - they nurse them until they become a core raison d'รชtre; this is your โ€œpresidentโ€, America. The contrast w a true leader, Obama, couldnโ€™t be starker.

Mexico braced for Trumpโ€™s mass deportations. They havenโ€™t happened. Trump has largely shut down the southwest border by ending asylum programs and deploying troops. But those moves have shrunk the pool of easy-to-deport migrants.

Just more data confirming that we havenโ€™t actually had a โ€œmassโ€ illegal immigration issue since the mid 2000s or so. The numbers of deportees that Miller dreams about are only possibly if you revoke asylum and even naturalized citizenship.

The Soviets lost the Cold War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 35 yrs later.

The Confederate traitors lost the Civil War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 160 yrs later.

The only flag Trump and MAGA should fly is a white one.

This image starkly depicts some of the parallels between Mao's Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and Felon 47( F47)โ€™s  actions in 2025.

 The Cultural Revolution (or the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution) took place from 1966 to 1976 in China. Mao urged the party to cleanse itself of its โ€˜class enemiesโ€™: โ€˜capitalistsโ€™ such as landowners and shopkeepers, but also artists, farmers and university professors. Often their family members were tainted by association and persecuted. Gangs of students and Red Guards attacked people wearing โ€œbourgeois clothesโ€ on the street. Intellectuals and party officials were murdered or driven to suicide. Schools and universities were closed and churches, shrines, libraries, shops and private homes ransacked or destroyed.
Chinaโ€™s economy was violently destroyed.

In 2025, F47โ€™s actions are similar. He has used the DOJ to attack institutions of higher education and science research- Harvard and Columbia are examples. New NIH policies are forcing individual recipients and institutions to โ€œcertifyโ€ that they will not allow DEI related programs of activities. 

This is a new flavor of authoritarianism.

Even the Chinese see it:

๐ŸงชWhat did Felon 47 accomplish 100 days? Tanked the stock market. Displayed economic illiteracy. Crippled academic institutions and life saving science research. Went after the NIH, DEI, academic journals. Hired incompetent loyalists. Spread propaganda. We have a destructive fascist government.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Raised by a retired marine, so not at all surprised at their inspiring moral compass.
