Why many Democrats so fond of saying "those jobs are never coming back"? Most aren’t. In fact many of us are tired of repeating it, as it should be obvious to all but the most deluded and deranged. Technology renders older jobs meaningless or impractical. No amount of wishing is going to change that, and in fact, the politicians are NOT the ones ending those jobs: Business owners are. Businesses are constantly in search of methods that will allow themselves to earn the same levels of profit, or higher. That means lower head counts, streamlined operations, and either selling more products to customers; or having customer pay more money for the same number of items. If they can manufacture parts, provide services, or even create new lines of business using fewer people, they are going to do that. Why is that so difficult for people to comprehend? Even the in post-WWII “dreamland” that the right wing keeps hearkening back to, they required fewer people due to changes in technology and the adoption of mass manufacturing practices improved during the war. While it seemed that millions were working in ideal factory jobs that were lifting them out of poverty, the reality was that people who remained in areas of the South and West were often still as poor as they were before the war. A sizable minority were better off; however that was more a case of individual stories than it was the society overall. If things had been as good as they are being remembered, why did Lyndon Johnson have to create his Great Society? (See below) Many jobs are not going to come back. Not matter how angry, sad or depressed that makes you, it’s an unpleasant reality that you’ll need to deal with to move forward. If your preferred politicians were trying to help, they’d be telling you the same thing. Why aren’t they?

I just used the love emoji at the original post of this by Kyle. I might have used it three or four times total, across many months now. When I first learned last year that the RNC had been underway for years nationwide advancing election integrity legislation in numerous states along with other actions behind this... That was the singular reason I determined we cannot quite yet lump all from both parties into one UniParty. Although as we all know, most of the actions in Congress since the 2020 purported "most secure election in history" per then AG Barr (who never added on behalf of what objective or whom; context is important especially the unstated kind) have effectively proven otherwise. That we arguably do have what is mostly a UniParty system today. No question the majority of genuine Patriot Americans who know this is a Constitutional Representative Republic (and technically not actually a Democracy, which many of the Founding Fathers feared as a sure path to Tyranny) with God-given rights at the foundation, see this election this year as our likely last stand. ...certainly at least as a genuine Constitutional Representative Republic and arguably even a genuine Rule of Law nation. At least under the widely-agreed Rule of Law definition. +++ But that's just what I think. What does everyone else think? #surveysays

Since I’m talking about morals in America let’s look at something else. The entire GOP is backing an appeal of Donald Trump’s convictions in NY of 34 felonies because they noted that during the 2020 presidential campaign, Justice Merchan had donated $15 to Mr. Trump’s opponent, Joseph Biden, raising the potential appearance of bias. Of course the fact that 12 selected jurors who had no relationship with any on the jury and were selected by the prosecution and Trump’s attorney, listened to the facts and 12 unanimously found him Guilty of 34 Felonies. THIS THEY CALL A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Now let’s look at this. In Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon overseeing the classified documents case was APPOINTED BY TRUMP AND WILL OVERSEE THE CASE AND RENDER A SUPPOSEDLY UNBIASED DECISION IF THE CASE EVER MOVES FORWARD WHILE ALL LEGAL SCHOLARS REVIEWING ALL EVIDENCE BELIEVE HE IS GUILTY. NO BIAS HERE? The Supreme Court which is the highest court in the U.S. is supposed to review prior precedents and laws and oversee whether Donald Trump should be shielded from any federal criminal crimes WITHOUT ANY BIAS OR PREJUDICE. Of the nine justices on the Supreme Court, Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch were appointed by Donald Trump. DON’T FORGET ABOUT THIS. Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, texted Mark Meadows shortly after the 2020 election. Meadows, who was White House chief of staff under Trump, turned over the messages along with other documents to the House’s Jan. 6 committee. The messages show that Thomas pressed Meadows to take action on Trump’s false claims of election fraud. She rehashed many election falsehoods and made references to terminology and beliefs popular with the QAnon conspiracy theory. 3 of 9 Supreme Court Justice’s appointed by Donald Trump and a 4th whose wife was texting Trump’s White House Chief of Staff. NO BIAS HERE? So if the GOP believes there was bias in the conviction of Donald Trump in NY because of the fact provided within, then HOW CAN THERE NOT BE BIAS IN FLORIDA AND BY THE SUPREME COURT OVERSEEING DONALD TRUMP AND FAIRLY PRESIDE AND RULE UNBIASED IF APPOINTED BY HIM? Tell me how this is different than a military coup when a country’s armed forces overthrow the current government and take control of the state or country? This is becoming Trump’s army. He would revel in becoming a dictator. In summary, aren’t appointed judges by Trump overseeing his innocence or immunity in Florida and on the SCOTUS a conflict of interest just as the GOP claims the NY conviction ruling was biased? IS THIS NOT A HYPOCRISY WITH THE U.S. BECOMING A BANANA REPUBLIC?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐦. The irony is, all this subverting of democracy is going to come back to haunt the two major parties. The ultra-heavy lifting they are forcing this campaign to go about is creating the largest grassroots movement in history. The 'Declare Your Independence' movement is busting at the seams. People are fed up and they're not going to take it any more. According to our candidate: - 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲. - 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. - 𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦. 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭. Just for sh!ts and giggles, check out in this video just how insane ballot access is for any outside candidate. This is not democracy. But he is going to get on the ballot in all 50 states. Then things will get interesting.

Mr Takei, you are a misguided soul. Trump is Trump he talks a good game but does little damage to the economy and to the American people. They are struggling to pay their bills and find affordable food for their family, and are maxing out their credit cards just to survive. The middle-class has disappeared and lower-class has resorted to crime to feed themselves. Can you blame them? NO! As a young man, I walked in their shoes, it's not fun to start working at 10 years old to make money to eat. Biden and his team have created runaway inflation which will never go down, he has increased homelessness because of high housing and insurance costs. Just walk the streets of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and see his work. Fort Lauderdale alone has approximately 4000 homeless souls. Biden is not the solution he is the problem. Trump is who he is, he does not create problems for the people. Biden on the other hand spends the people's money like it's his money to give. He is funding the Ukraine war with the people's money and adding to the people's debt, just so he can pay back what they gave him and his son, while he was last in office. I would love a job to get paid millions for doing nothing. The Ukrainian war is not our war. It's a NATO war! Where NATO? Why is this expense being put on the backs of the American people? The government already has runaway debt because they don't understand basic math in how to balance a checkbook. Finance 101! Under Trump I made millions with a strong economy, under OLDCRAZYJOE I lost half my gains. Biden talks MONEY walks!!! Once you read this I will then block you from my LinkedIn page. This is not personal, but I just can't be associated with people who can't see how the world around them has changed. Stupid people should only be allowed to link with other STUPID people!!!!

If I could just have 5 minutes in a room that didn’t have any cameras with this man for a consensual/legal bare nuckle fight, I’d let him see what we all wish for him, absolute and certain suffering of immense proportions greater than that he brought on his traumatized daughter and his crackhead son. Have we really fallen this far from God’s Graces? Must we continue to pretend our lives are not being vastly effected and our children’s futures completely destroyed? Unlucky for me and our entire country, I’ll never have that moment alone with him, nor would he ever dare engage me one on one because he is not a real man and this is otherwise just a pipe dream of if only if only. I can tell you one thing for certain, he wouldn’t leave that room with a smug smirk on his face while he attempts to subvert democracy anymore, that’s for damn sure! So in the spirit of realizing that he would never be a man and face people like me one on one, let’s make Sleepy Joe an offer he can’t refuse. I can crowd fund through my network well over $20,000,000 to get him into a boxing ring with me as long as he promises to go at least 3 full rounds and without any referee intervention. He can either keep this money for himself (as we know he likes to make corrupt deals all the time anyways and this would be the first dollar he ever EARNED in his entire pathetic life) or he can have it sent to his Super PAC for virtue signaling to make it look like he’s legit before he writes his family members massive checks to funnel his contributions out the back door (like usual). I don’t really care how he takes payment to be frank. Repost this and like to get it as much exposure as possible. If he agrees to this in writing, I will make sure I have a $20,000,000 check from an escrow account waiting for him. The key is, he has to be able to remain standing in the third round (3 minute official rounds with everything done properly and officially) and the money is all his. That’s a HUGE check just to fight a nobody competitively and he’s old so in reality, what does he really have to lose? In fact, I’ll go as far as to make this offer to any of the following people: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates (he only has to make it standing by end of second round), Barack Obama (see I’m not only picking on old people), AOC, $50,000,000 if Nancy Pelosi does it (she only has to be able to stand up at end of first round), Tim Walz, any lead prosecutor or DA involved in anything that has happened to Trump (they’re only worth $1,000,000 a fight). If u or anyone u know knows any of these people or any way to get in contact with ppl who could pass this honest message along, I know a lot of people with a lot of money that understand how insane/beneficial this would be to watch 😈(no circumstance can the fight be called early no matter who is winning or losing). Our country is filled with weak men for allowing this. Silence & refusal to act on change is complacency. Do better citizens!

𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥. 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥. Door #1: the reason people will vote for Trump: he's not Biden. Door #2: the reason people will vote for Biden: he's not Trump. And yet, the political powers don't want you to see 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐫 #3- the most qualified candidate to lead our nation and our world in the last 100 years. Are we consigned to choose between two failed presidents who have led our country off a cliff? The answer is no. But we must act. If you knew what I know about the great lengths this two-party system is going to to keep a people-first candidate away from your getting to know him, then you would not vote for either Biden or Trump, ever. But those are the two choices the system is trying to force up you. That hand-wave you see is Democracy saying good-bye. And with it goes your freedom. Go to Kennedy24<dot>com to learn more. Virtually everything you have been told about this man is complete BS. What Biden and the DNC are doing, along with CNN's participation, is blatantly anti-democratic and flies in the face of all the principles our country represents and our soldiers fought and died for. I would not be surprised if 90% of the American people who decide to suffer through the debate next week walk away saying "I'm going to give Kennedy another look." Because it will be a complete sh!tshow. If you want to learn more about what an incredible candidate this man is, check out his foreign policy speech at the Nixon Library here: https://lnkd.in/emYXeUiG This is the most important political speech of the modern era. Declare your independence. Choose Door #3.

Kremlin says Trump's conviction is about White House 'elimination of political rivals' I guarantee that this will be interpreted by Democrats and their media clones as "proof" that Putin is trying to help elect Trump. This plays directly into the narrative of the Trump haters who have been accusing Trump of being a Putin plant ever since Hillary and the DNC disseminated the Steele Dossier to the deep state and the media. This hoax was like a virus that kept mutating. No matter how many times it was debunked, it just resurfaced in another context. So, I am assuming Putin's state media accusing the U.S. legal system of political motives in prosecuting Trump will be like catnip for the Democrats and our media to push the Russia Hoax again. However, Putin's interest in impugning the fairness of Trump's trial is not so much in sympathy for Trump and his campaign, as much as it is just a swipe at what Putin considers America's self-righteous hypocrisy in setting itself up as the leader of the free world. Putin's propaganda to his people and to the Third World he is trying to woo is that American claims for its system of individual rights, democracy, and rule of law is not all its cracked up to be. So, while our left will say that anyone who criticizes the Trump prosecution and verdict is "playing into the hands of Putin." This misses the point. It is the very fact that Trump, as the leading candidate of the political opposition, was prosecuted in the first place. This is what plays into the hands of Kremlin propaganda. Republicans warned Democrats that prosecuting a political rival on trivial charges would look bad to the rest of the world. But, the left refused to heed that warning. So, now they have played into Putin's hands by giving him a propaganda victory at the expense of American prestige and claims of moral superiority over Russia. So, don't blame the victim for embarrassing America on the world stage. That responsibility lies with Biden and others in the Democrat Party who failed to stop the unprecedented and bad idea of putting the opposition leader on trial during an election year.

His decision was and is purely political. Recently released documents reveal that the President decides who gets Secret Service protection via a Presidential Memorandum, despite claims of a formal process. My family has given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. After my father and my uncle were assassinated, the Secret Service law was changed to include candidates for President (and their families) starting 120 days before an election. However, numerous candidates in the past, all with fewer threats, have received protection much earlier. The reason I was denied protection is because Biden knows I can win. With the lowest poll numbers for an incumbent President in history, he will stop at nothing in his quest to remain in power. He’s afraid to let the people decide who should lead our great country. I will continue my surging campaign despite Biden’s petty and malicious political decision. The future of our great country is too important for me to not be out there fighting for you and your family. Our country is on the wrong path. As President, I will rebuild our middle class, usher in a strong economy and make us a respected leader on the world stage!

In other trial news, Hunter Biden goes on trial in Delaware which his father represented for over 40 years as a Senator. This Indubitably will be a jury of Hunter's peers. They might as well be family members. But, of course, if they find Hunter Biden not guilty of his gun charges. Charges which are backed up by both documentary and witness testimony, will also be hailed as a triumph of the jury system. Just as the media saw no issues of bias in a jury composed of 87% Democrats in the Trump trial. They will see a jury 87% Democrats in the Hunter trial as no indication of bias. It is great to be a Democrat, you never lose. And how you win is beside the point. I did have to chuckle at my wife's advising me that Hunter's defense to why he owned a gun despite being a drug addict is that who needs a gun more than a drug addict. It is a dangerous lifestyle and so owning a gun isn't a crime, it is self defense. Makes perfect sense to me, and perhaps it will to the jury as well. The thing that rankles me about the media and the disingenuous way they cover Trump is the assumption that the audience is stupid and easily manipulated. That somehow the journalists having a 130 IQ and a degree from a prestigious university means that they can get over on their less intelligent readership who they assume look to them as oracles of wisdom. As I readily admit being a plodding bureaucrat with a couple of college degrees from second-tier colleges, I am not intellectual match for the boys from the Ivy Leagues. But, just because I am not as smart as they are, does not mean that I can be fooled all the time. A sports analogy for this would be that even if you are an ace pitcher with a 100 mile an hour fastball, you can still get hit if you tip your pitches to the batters. And, this is what our brilliant journalist friends seem not to understand. I know where they are coming from, even before they speak. The only question is what route they will take to promote their narrative. In other words, you can't keep throwing the same pitch to the same part of the plate before the batter start hitting you out of the park. So, my advice to my followers is not to be overly impressed with how many Pulitzers the New York Times or Washington Post receive for their coverage of events. This is not the Olympics where one-hundredth of a second determines the winner. Activist journalism is the the art of misusing the English language to obscure the truth in favor of a lie. A big lie. And even though I may only have a 129 IQ, you can't fool me just because yours is 130.

Let's examine Joe Biden's re-election campaign. He basically has reduced his re-election to two issues. If elected, he will protect abortion. And his election will save democracy by keeping Donald Trump out of the Oval Office. That's all there is folks. So, for the next 7 months or so all you will hear from Biden and his surrogates is pro-choice rhetoric and anti-Trump warnings. I don't know about you, but I find this a little thin for a president to run on for a second term. Usually, president's run for re-election on their record. But, exactly what in Biden's first term is there he can run on? That he created 9 million jobs? For who? For the 10 million aliens he allowed to enter the country illegally? As the WSJ pointed out much of the job creation is in service industries, health care, social welfare, and government. And this is the "only" part of the economy that Joe or his surrogates want to discuss. So, when your biggest accomplishment is only a partial success, and everything else is a failure what is the reason for a second term. Oh that's right. To keep the other guy out of office. And that is what Biden claims is his biggest accomplishment. That is defeating Trump in 2020 and the promise to defeat him again in 2024. Because Trump you see is the most dangerous man in America, if not the world. Just look at the mess he left for Joe to clean up. It was so bad, that under Joe everything got worse. That is why when Biden came into office he reversed every policy of the Trump administration in order to fix things. You know fix our reliance on fossil fuels by cancelling oil and gas leasing. Removing Trump era appointees to Federal agencies who were cutting regulations, and putting activists in these jobs who reinvigorated investigative agencies overseeing the economy. Spending hundreds of billions on green energy projects. Restoring funding to international agencies, putting us back in the Paris Climate Accords, renegotiating the Iran nuclear deal, and ending inhumane immigration policies. After all, who wants to go back to the bad old days of Trump after seeing how well Biden has done. Can you imagine the U.S. being an energy exporter again in fossil fuels? Can you imagine gas at $2 a gallon again? Perish the thought. Trump's "drill baby drill" mantra will kill the green energy sector and bring on catastrophic climate change we are told. Do you want to see the icecaps melt? Feel like you are living in a sauna?

Hope this passes. While I believe this applies to individual stocks only, I would expand to ban sector ETFs / mutual funds, which can have significant individual stock concentrations(e.g., Exxon / Chevron make up over 40% of XLE, Microsoft / Nvidia make up over 40% of XLK, etc.)

Can the government spending, waste, corruption, fraud, abuses, and inefficiencies be reduced or have we crossed the Rubicon? We have too many mouths feeding at the trough and not enough productivity in return. We are experiencing diminishing returns on our debt and more debt is now a drag on our economy. The current federal debt held by the public as of today is $34.7 tril. That is over $103,000 in debt per person or $267,000 per taxpayer. The total US debt is a whopping $100,096,586,000,000. This includes personal debt , student loans, credit cards, and federal debt. It is a massive Ponzi scheme. Now add the unfunded federal liabilities of $215,419,202,000,000. The $204,695,570,000,000 in total national assets is held by the 10% as the wealth gap widens to levels not seen since the late 1920s. For FY24, the annualized interest payments on the federal debt are projected to reach $870 bil. That is a significant increase from $659 bil for FY23 and from $475 bil in FY22 years due to rising interest rates and uncontrolled spending, waste, corruption, and gross incompetence. For perspective, the interest payments in FY20 was $371bil. The rate of increase should alarm every American as we will have reduced benefits for our tax dollars as more revenue (taxes) will be to pay interest payments on our national debt. We should also be mindful that majority of the interest payments are going to China and Japan. A few of the Festivus Report highlights: - $900,000,000,000 of wasteful spending. - $236,000,000,000 in improper Federal payments. - $3,800,000 to study COVID misinformation on social media in black and rural communities. The CBO projects total net interest payments of $870 billion for the full FY24, rising rapidly to $1.6 trillion by FY34. Interest payments in FY24 will exceed spending on defense and nearly match Medicare outlays (net of offsetting receipts). Take a look at the annual Festivus Report to see just how much of our taxes are squandered while taxpayers continue to accept diminishing and for the top 20% of taxpayers, a negative return on their tax dollars. The top 20% of households received about half the benefit from major tax expenditures, these benefits equaled only around 7% of their total pre-tax income. Certain tax provisions like the mortgage interest deduction, charitable deductions, and preferential rates on investment income disproportionately benefit higher-income taxpayers but it is factored into the benefits they receive. The bottom 20% of households received just 10% of the total dollar value of tax expenditure benefits, but this amounted to 16% of their pre-tax income. In 2021, the top 10% of taxpayers paid 71% of all federal income taxes, while the bottom 50% paid just 3%. However, this does not account for payroll taxes or tax expenditure benefits.

Uncover the historic speech by Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate, showing moral clarity and defiance against oppression in front of the Berlin Wall. President Ronald Reagan's "Tear down this wall!" speech, delivered on June 12, 1987, near the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, is often remembered as one of his most iconic moments. The speech was a bold challenge to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and a powerful statement in support of freedom and democracy.Reagan's speech was made at a time when the Berlin Wall, which divided East and West Berlin, symbolized the larger divide between the Communist East and the democratic West during the Cold War. The wall had been erected by East Germany in 1961 to stem the tide of defections to the West and had become a potent symbol of oppression.In his speech, Reagan directly addressed Gorbachev, calling on him to demonstrate his commitment to openness and reform by dismantling the wall: "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"These words were not just a rhetorical flourish; they represented Reagan's unwavering belief in the power of freedom and his willingness to challenge the status quo. The speech was a testament to Reagan's steadfastness in confronting the Soviet Union and his belief that communism would ultimately fail in the face of the ideals of liberty and democracy. While the immediate impact of Reagan's speech on the Berlin Wall itself was limited, as it would stand for another two years, it became a symbol of the West's determination to see the wall come down and the reunification of Germany under democratic principles. When the wall did fall in 1989, Reagan's words were often cited as a rallying cry for freedom and a reminder of the power of standing up to tyranny with moral clarity and conviction.
