Army debuts new recruiting ads aimed at high-tech civilians rather than soldiers
Rather than "Be All You Can Be," the Army is hoping its latest TV ads convince civilians to, well, be what they already are as Army Civilians.

The Army’s latest television spots are aimed at different recruits than the service’s typical high-energy, parachute-and-tanks ads. In two new ads released today, the Army wants to catch the attention of civilians already working in science and engineering fields and sell them on similar jobs working for the military.


The civilian-targeted campaign, dubbed “Find Your Next Level,” features two commercials that show off two Army Civilian careers that mirror civilian jobs– one a scientist drilling into the ice in arctic conditions and the other an engineer surrounded by satellites the size of skyscrapers.

The two new commercials will be featured in television, print, digital billboards, streaming video, social platforms and audio channels.
 
In a first for the service whose recruiting legacy includes action-heavy ad campaigns like “Be All You Can Be,” the Army is hoping “Find Your Next Level” convinces civilians to, well, be what they already are, and work for the Army as in civilians jobs similar to the ones they already have. Army Civilians are employed by the Army but do not enlist or commission, do not go to basic training and do not wear uniforms.

From the article…..

9) In terms of America’s economy, if The Fed has not already reduced rates, Trump will discuss with Fed chair Jerome Powell the need to do so immediately.


Good news for retirees and savers in an inflationary economy 22222frying pan

Mr Bankruptcy and self proclaimed King of Debt tried pressuring the Fed to bring interest rates to zero or less in 2019 and they saved him from his own idiocy

It appears this writer wants a Trump administration to spend even more. Combine that with tariffs and hints on weakening the dollar, we will see inflation accelerate in a second Trump term

I’ll pass

Benjamin Netanyahu: Not such a bad guy!
By Mike Konrad

In the words of Shakespeare: Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.  Such is Benjamin Netanyahu.

Presently, the world press is tearing this man down, but he is arguably the greatest world leader of the past fifty years.

Does he have his faults?  Yes!  Who doesn’t?

But Netanyahu has had to navigate his country’s security through the decades when even his “friends” (Clinton, Bushes 1 & 2, Obama) wanted to enforce policies on Israel that were self-destructive.  And his country had little margin of error if things went wrong.

Soon after he announced a new world order, George Bush, Sr. started pressuring Israel to accept the Oslo process at Madrid in 1991.  The Arabist James Zogby has praised Bush Sr. for doing so.

    “Bush established consequences for bad behavior, and he got results,” said James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute. “It can happen again.”

Bush Sr. was praised for being even-handed between the Arabs and the Israelis, but he was in bed with Arab oil money and interests.  Netanyahu’s so-called “corruption” pales by comparison.

Clinton thought he had brought peace in 1993 with the Oslo Accords.  That was a failure.

Bush Jr. was also part of this Bush-Saudi oil interest.  His administration would later encourage Israel to allow the 2006 elections in Gaza (with the approval of Jimmy Carter) that would get Hamas elected.

CNN Delivers More Worrisome News for Biden About His Fleeing Support
Nick Arama


Joe Biden has been hemorrhaging a lot of support.

From minorities to women, heck, he's even losing Never Trump support. And even liberal Democrats' eyes have been opened by his actions regarding the Israel-Hamas war, which demonstrate how bad he is on policy with Israel and how feckless he is when he thinks it hurts him politically.

What's that all adding up to? More bad news for Biden, as CNN's data analyst Harry Enten explained to John Berman. Enten laid out how Biden is getting "squeezed from both ends" — both from the centrist former supporters shocked at his actions and the far left who might have supported him in the past but think he's now been too supportive of Israel. These numbers don't just show how much trouble Biden is in; they also show how twisted a lot of the Democratic Party is on this issue.

He pointed out how Biden is only getting 50 percent support from those who disapprove of his actions on Israel/Gaza. Those are from 2020 supporters.

"Oh my goodness gracious," Enten said. "This is a huge dividing line within the Democratic Party, and that’s something, of course, we’re seeing right now between the progressive wing and those more centrist or mainstream Democrats."

Then how is that working out to the base of support? Enten showed how former President Donald Trump is holding onto more of his base of support from 2020, but Biden's base has fallen to only 73 percent of his 2020 support, and that's why he is tanking. That's why Trump "is in a much better position than he was four years ago," Enten declared.

There have been predictions, all of them wrong, of climate calamities for well over a hundred years, we are gonna burn up, freeze, flood, run out of food with massive starvation and death. And now another bogeyman article, I can only assume that the true meaning of ‘The stakes could not be higher’ is the opportunity for charlatans, opportunists, ManBearPig and autistic high school dropouts to cash in.


From 2022

Tomorrow is Earth Day 2022 and marks the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day, so it’s time for my annual CD post on the spectacularly wrong predictions that were made around the time of the first Earth Day in 1970…..
