71k Government Jobs Added

And that pretty much says it all.

And those jobs produce nothing for the economy

At this rate, we'll all be good Soviets

Politics/Government / Re: Senate passes bill forcing TikTok’s parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signa

With the TikTok bill passing, there's a lot of interest in how TikTok lost Washington. In many ways, it can be traced to June 17, 2022 when reporter @ebakerwhite broke the story wide open.  She obtained leaked audio exposing that "Everything is seen in China." Whatever recognitions are awarded to consequential, gumshoe, and deeply researched reporting, Emily Baker-White deserves them. A Beijing-based TikTok/ByteDance team even attempted to surveil her location to disrupt her reporting.

If I understand this correctly...there is a military base there (as there was in Niger).

If I were skeptical...I'd think they want our stuff. :shrug:
So, let them have their land back....after we return it, more or less, in the condition it was before we got there...there may be a considerable amount of cratering than when we got there :whistle: Let them cozy up to the Russians and Chicoms and get all their weapons and foreign aid from them and not a penny or drop of blood more from Americans.

Sure they do - The headlines blare the bullshit... And two or three months later, the adjusted number is reported on page 10 of your local paper.

Government economic stats being revised downward isn't unusual. It also happened under Trump

Joe Biden Suggests War Is Peace After Approving Weapons for Ukraine

Wendell Husebø 24 Apr 2024

President Joe Biden suggested war is peace on Wednesday after he signed legislation to provide Ukraine the funds to conduct a war against Russia.

Is "Wendell Husebø" (nom de plume?) seriously stating that Ukraine defending its territory from Russian invaders is "conducting a war against Russia". 888mouth It is Wendell Husebø, not President Biden, who is going full-Orwellian Ministry of Truth! ****slapping

Nikki was still on the ballot in Pa.

@SteveDeaceShow
Over 100,000 Republicans still voted for Nikki Haley in Pennsylvania's primary yesterday, 6 weeks after the primary ended. GOP turnout was also down about 18% from 2020. Pennsylvania is gone in 2024, but I was already writing it off anyway.

On some university campuses this has been building up for decades. Feckless, possibly anti-Semitic, administrators have been declining to protect attacked Jewish students or to punish their attackers for years and in some places, for decades.

Thanks for that information -- I don't have any kids in college anymore so I wasn't aware that this has been escalating.
