Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

The upcoming jobs and inflation numbers are going to more cooked than a bowl of spaghetti to hide the damage being done by these policies. 🍝

They are about to put up some “show me your papers” ass check points in DC aren’t they.

Sometimes outsiders, like Europe, see the truth more clearly than those on the inside. America is sliding toward dictatorship, and most Americans don’t even realize it.

An army official having to stay on background to defend a MOH recipient from the MAGA Rasputin really says it all on the state of civil-military relations

CNBC congressional preference poll

chat is it good for the GOP that they went from D+2 to D+5 in the generic congressional ballot in a couple of months

Turns out just ignoring the constitution, breaking the law, defying court orders, and having the Supreme Court in your back pocket is an amazing strategy to implement your desired agenda.

This is what the IDF’s typical current operations in Gaza look like—troops providing overwatch for busy demolition crews.

The signature Israeli weapon of the Gaza war is no longer the US-manufactured 2,000-pound bomb, as it was in earlier phases, but the US-manufactured earthmover.

BMO: “.. a disappointing and ugly ISM Services report for July. Stagflationary impacts already appear to be rocking the services sector to a greater extent than previously anticipated.

“.. economic activity and job growth are sputtering under the weight of higher tariffs, increasing inflation ..”

Cool how guys like Patrick O’Rourke only have small memorials at battlefields built by money raised from men in his own unit while traitors get statues with taxpayer money. Sick country

This 10000x. We have overreacted to the use of drones in Ukraine and no one in leadership is asking WHY the use drones are so prolific (It’s because neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians can get air superiority and neither can conduct combined arms maneuver.)

Listening to “The Rest is Classified” pod and they were saying that a reason the CIA studied UFO reports was that they were concerned that UFO conspiracies might be seeded by Russia to sow distrust in the U.S. government.

The CIA isn’t interested in this happening with vaccine disinformation.

He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.

the future of American politics is American Peronism vs everyone with a braincell

unfortunately the deck is stacked in favor of the former

yeah democrats have got to respond

These VOA newscasters and reporters were given visas because there weren't experienced broadcast journalists in the US with native level skills in such languages as Bambara, Lao or Georgian. But since Kari Lake wiped out nearly all VOA's 48 language services there are indeed no jobs for them now.

Tank mechanics are like the Jawas from Star Wars. Leave your tank at the MCP to get fixed with a cooler full of bottled water and energy drinks and you’ll come back to a tank that may or may now be fixed and an empty cooler.

If you had told me that at this point before the college football season Bill Belichick would be out recruiting Deion Sanders I’d look at you crazy.
