He said it was “his job” but never mentioned who he works for

I’m up to 9 so far this year

Keep in mind that even after checking yourself after being in the out doors they may still be on your clothes or in your hair. Check yourself again the next day. It takes them awhile to burrow in

What happened to “America First”?

When it comes to small, local elections party affiliation may have no ties to the national parties. Challengers may run as “this” party because the incumbent is “that” party. The mayor of my town was a Democrat but used all of the propaganda buzz works from Fox News’ playback. That being said I’ll bet the mayor in this story is a Trump supporter

So a deep state shadow government?

Dah

But did you vote?

What is Jason Woodford hiding?!?!?

Yet the idea of publicly funded contraception and sex education is verbotten

In 1991 two small businesses were busted for being fronts for illegal gambling parlors. 30 Cleveland cops were part of the bust. I lived next to both of them at one time. One was a t-shirt printing shop, I forget what the other was. A year later I moved into a neighborhood that had a pizza shop with a very nice sign, no windows and never seemed to be open. It was not uncommon to see a patrol car parked in front

Now we have a president, vice president and secretary of Defense that wear make up and they’re all dudes. I’m all for people being who they want be, gender norms be damned but the hypocrisy is palpable

IMO the pandemic showed us we need to improve our social safety net (unemployment benefits) and get all workers contributing (taxed wages). We heard all about the “gig economy” and the US government threw money at everyone and everything driving up government defecits and inflation. Caveat: not an economist

If the US didn’t support them they would go to someone else and take their intelligence gathering with them.

This story got darker by the end:

Planet Hollywood in the Tom Bradley Terminal is set to permanently close on Saturday, leaving Ortiz unemployed.

After thinking about it i began to wonder if the whole on/off tariff stuff isn’t a ploy to boost economic numbers temporarily to look good. Imagine if you are a business such as a car rental company that could heavily be affected by a tariffs on cars. Buying a new fleet now could save millions if not hundreds of millions versus waiting until tariffs are enacted. This is the long held basis for target 2% inflation. We saw something like this during Trump’s first term with the Carrier deal in Indiana and Foxconn in Wisconsin. Great news is promoted when the deal is made but not much is said after it fails to pay off. To be fair stuff like this happens and it’s not limited to one party or the other. Another example is the GDP hitting 3% after the 2017 tax cuts, it quickly went back down to 2% the following quarter. The 3% got lots of attention on Fox News, the drop back to 2% and the trillion dollar deficit did not

Is this an effort to force Americans to buy Tesla? Because if I remember correctly it was Barrack Hussain Obama who was supposed to force us all to buy electric cars

Don’t interrupt when they’re up on their soapbox

Never Feed After Midnight: If a Mogwai is fed after midnight, it will undergo a transformation into a Gremlin, a mischievous and destructive creature.

Gremlins? IDK. Down Syndrome? Definitely.

Give a person with down syndrome alcohol? I’d rather feed a Gremlin after midnight
