Not only can I not think of a time when a sitting Secretary of Defense was ever the guest of honor at a political fundraiser, but I definitely can't think of a time when he did so weeks after starting a massive, unnecessary war

So much wrong here:
1. There was some new hiring, so this number is off by about 100K
2. Unlike most businesses, personnel spending is a tiny fraction (5-6%) of federal outlays
3. Spending has actually increased
4. Many have noticed worse services!

What's more: Biden gave this very town, Social Circle, an EV factory! A jobs bonanza! A cornucopia of blue-collar career opportunities!

But at least Trump gave it what voters really wanted instead: a warehouse for humans w/ no infrastructure to support it.

Literally running out of water because you've allowed yourself to be convinced that the country is being overrun by violent immigrants is almost poetic. I don't mean this to be snide. It just is.

A town's warehouse will become an ICE detention center. The town says it wasn't asked The conservative town of Social Circle, Georgia, is upset about a warehouse that is set to become an immigrant detention center. The federal government didn't ask city officials if they wanted it.

Hard to not see echoes of the book Dying of Whiteness in this story about a Georgia town that might now literally run out of water because they voted overwhelmingly for Trump, and now his administration is building an ICE facility in their backyard that will triple the population.

Every president and major party nominee over the last half-century has voluntarily released their tax returns, except for the most singularly corrupt president in US history, who not only used taxpayer resources to fight their release, but now he wants us to give him billions bc they were leaked

On Friday, β€œMelania” will also be released in 1,600 theaters overseas, where FilmNation, a New York company, is handling distribution in more than 20 countries. International ticket sales are expected to be weak, according to box office analysts. Vue, a major European cinema operator, is offering nine showings (451 seats in all) at its multiplex in York, England, from Friday through Sunday, one analyst noted. As of Wednesday, it had sold six seats.

I'm so sorry. I'm from South Carolina, so, sadly, I am familiar with this kind of thing. Was able to hang on to some friendships for a really long time, but I've also had to accept that some of them are unsalvageable.

The families this administration is tormenting, tearing apart, and killing are, largely, Christian. It's astounding that no one is making that point. That's not to say it's less bad when they persecute non-Christians, but it certainly heightens the contradiction when they do.

Local Churches See Steep Decline in Attendance Amid ICE Raids Up and Down the Coast
YouTube video by News Channel 3-12 Local Churches See Steep Decline in Attendance Amid ICE Raids Up and Down the Coast

There have been numerous reports around the country like this one over the past year. What we are seeing is Christians too scared for their lives and livelihoods, scared to worship in the way our Constitution is supposed to protect, and no one seems to be framing it that way at all.

Somehow the people who are doing this get to claim the mantle of guardians of the faith, but they are the ones persecuting Christians in a way we have never seen in the history of this country.

One Part of the Body Report

A report put out by the National Association of Evangelicals last March found that 1 in every 12 Christians in the US is "either directly vulnerable to deportation or live with a family member at risk of being deported."

I don't mean this in the sense that you often see online that Jesus was a migrant whose family fled persecution, which is true, of course. I mean that the vast majority of the families they are tormenting right now are devout, practicing Christians.

After decades of conservative Christians whining about how life in a modern, pluralistic and democratic societyβ€”with its rights for people and lifestyles they hateβ€”amounts to persecution of them and their beliefs, they are nowβ€”in the most literal sense of the termβ€”persecuting Christians.
