Federal Economic Analysis for Detention Site Riddled With Errors on Taxes, Jobs, Geography Document incorrectly references Oklahoma economy and inflates job numbers with theoretical positions

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS โ€œeconomic impact analysisโ€ in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Helpful explanation here:

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He โ€œresignedโ€. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesnโ€™t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldnโ€™t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

The current chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Ohio State, Mark Landon, received ~$75,000 a year from Epstein in the early 2000s, supposedly for consulting. Was he treating Epsteinโ€™s victims? Landon still sees patients at Ohio Stateโ€”who is investigating this?

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

๐ŸšจIn December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that โ€œnew administration peopleโ€ were visiting.

This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Bidenโ€™s Economy Hereโ€™s what theyโ€™re worried about.

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

โ€˜Youโ€™re a washed-up loser lawyerโ€™: Pam Bondi taunts Democrats over Epstein US attorney general goes on attack during questioning by House judiciary committee over handling of files

Set aside the content for a moment (saying that Jamie Raskin is a washed-up lawyer?). AG Bondi has just absolutely disgraced the Department of Justice in adopting Trump-like gross insults of those who disagree with the administration. She should be ashamed.
