US Elections (& Politics) :)

So Biden needs a cue card for signing the condolence book.
Did you see how his wife shut him up when he was trying to start talking something about joking...see minute 4:12
 
The crime wave is moving out into the suburbs, that's for sure. Its harder to crack down incidents where areas are more sparsely populated. Only way to steer away from all the mess is to vote right or just move to a majority republican area. Rudy Giuliani cleaned up NYC in the 90's. Its been proven. Fast forward to 2022, NYC and its surrounding areas from North and South Jersey to Long Island all became affected negatively from the pandemic to economic woes. Things that were more notorious in the heart of Manhattan now occur in the most eastern extreme of Long Island. Its disappointing that the island (once known for its beautiful suburban landscape and beaches, involved communities, and emphasis on quality of life) itself became a sh!tshow over the years. Long Island is majority red but that's been quickly changing with a rapid change in demographics. In general, the city and suburbia are balancing out with each other thus makes no difference

We watch the local news from Philly every night. It's getting really depressing and shows how the violence is spreading through the big cities. It's just a question of time before it hits the suburbs and rural areas as well. They opened the news tonight with the shootings, and killings, that happened today and late this afternoon. The first ten minutes was all shootings from kids in the early teens to adults. Some of those arrested, the few that were, are teens as well. The descent into Hell is accelerating rapidly to say the least. They're already ahead of the number of murders this time last year and the number of shootings is also up, way up.

I also saw that a young, pregnant, woman was beheaded in broad daylight in the middle of the street in a suburb of Chicago yesterday. The alleged perpetrator was her ex-boyfriend and he used a sword. He actually returned to the scene of the crime while the police were investigating so an arrest was easy for a change.

All I can say is to be prepared for the worst, especially if you're anywhere near a major city. It's only getting worse and seems to be accelerating exponentially.

Something tells me this will lead to Marshal Law, that is when we fully lose this country to the Sturmabteilung, Storm Troopers "Brown Shirts"...

DOJ Alleges More Classified Records May Be at Mar-a-Lago

Prosecutors with the Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed former President Donald Trump’s team may still be holding onto allegedly classified records following last month’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago property.

They made the allegation in a court filing Thursday in arguing against the appointment of a special master, or an independent third party, to review the documents that were taken during the unprecedented search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence last month. Earlier this week, a federal judge sided with Trump’s team in granting their request for a special master.

“The injunction against using classified records in the criminal investigation could impede efforts to identify the existence of any additional classified records that are not being properly stored—which itself presents the potential for ongoing risk to national security,” they wrote in the latest filing.

And without a stay of the injunction, “the government and the public will also suffer irreparable harm from the undue delay to the criminal investigation,” DOJ prosecutors wrote.

The federal agency did not provide specific evidence or details as to why it believes more classified records are being kept at Mar-a-Lago.

They argued that some allegedly classified records that were taken from Trump’s home should be in the possession of the DOJ and FBI for review as the two agencies continue their investigation. The former president, according to a warrant released last month, is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice charges and Espionage Act violations.

Comment from another forum: That’s what the secret raids of (70) associates of Trump were all about today. They still haven’t found the $hit that really nails them to the wall on “Crossfire Hurricane” and now it’s become “Crossfile Hurricane”.
 
Five sectors facing layoffs amid economic uncertainty and high inflation

Concerns about the state of the economy come with worries about job security. In fact, half of companies are expecting to cut staff according to a PwC survey of more than 700 executives. The same survey found many executives are also planning hiring freezes and even rescinding job offers. But many companies have already trimmed their workforce. Here are the sectors facing layoffs in this week’s Five For Friday.

#5: Mortgage and real estate

The housing market has cooled after the COVID-19 pandemic-induced smorgasbord over the last few years. And as the Federal Reserve raises its interest rate, causing home loan rates to climb, overall mortgage demand has fallen to its lowest point in two decades. Mortgage lender LoanDepot has let go of 2,800 employees this year and announced another 2,000 layoffs are on the way. Real estate firm Redfin also announced it would cut 8% of its staff this year amid falling demand. Meanwhile, big banks JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have shed hundreds of mortgage broker positions.

#4: Fintech

Fintech was really having a moment the past couple of years and where there is a boom, there will likely be a bust. Retail trading platform Robinhood, which has faced some controversy in recent years, laid off 23% of its staff in August. The company’s CEO Vlad Tenev blamed low trading volume, spiking inflation and the ongoing crypto winter as the reasons for the cut. On the cryptocurrency side, Coinbase let go of 18% of its team while the Winklevoss twins-founded Gemini released 7% of its staff after cutting 10% earlier this year.

#3: Retail and ecommerce

Consumer spending was flat for July, and without growth, retailers are tightening their belts. Bed Bath & Beyond announced last week it is closing 150 stores and laying off 20% of its 32,000 employees. Wayfair, which thrived at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, is cutting 870 jobs. Ecommerce platform Shopify will also slash 10% of its workforce as the sector loses steam.

#2: Streaming

Over the last few years, major distributors and networks have been racing to launch their own streaming services as linear television faces demise. With more players in the game, there is much more competition. After Netflix lost subscribers for the first time, the streaming giant let go of 475 employees. And Warner Bros. Discovery is in the process of cleaning house: After shutting down CNN+, they cut 70 positions at HBO Max and even dropped a number of top executives at the Oprah Winfrey Network.

#1: Tech and Social Media

More than 28,000 tech workers have been laid off this year, according to analysis from Crunchbase. Microsoft said it would lay off around 1% of its 180,000 employees due to concerns about growth in the fourth quarter of this year. Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently warned of potential layoffs. On the social media front, Snap Inc. got rid of 20% of its team, Facebook is reportedly letting go of contractors at random using an algorithm and TikTok has been shedding employees amid worldwide restructuring.

My comment: Just part of Joe Biden's build back better plan. He gets his 10% and the rest of the country suffers.
 
If they couldn't find it in a day, with 40+ agents exploring everything from Trumps office to Melania's underwear drawers, it ain't there and if they pursue a second warrant it'll be yet another fishing trip trying to find something to hang on President Trump. It's also a sign, to me anyway, that they got nothing, bupkus, nadda, the big goose egg, from their first run at it which also explains why they don't want a Special Master so they can plant things in that first batch.

Beyond disgusting.



Its difficult to put into words how I feel, but I recalled this letter from a working class woman from two years ago

I will not vote again; they’ve made it abundantly clear that my voice doesn’t matter. Whatever irrational, suicidal lunacy the nanny states thinks is best is what I’ll get. What it decided I need is a geriatric pedophile who shouldn’t be charged with anything more rigorous than choosing between tapioca and rice pudding at the old folks home, and a casting couch skank who rails against racism while being a descendant of slave owners.

I’m free to dismember a baby in my womb and kill it because “my body my choice”, but God help me if I won’t cover my face with a germ laden Linus-worthy security blanket or refuse let them inject genetically altering chemicals into my body or my child’s. I can be doxed, fired, shunned and destroyed for daring to venture that there are only 2 genders as proven by DNA, but a disease with a 99+% survival rate for most humans is a deadly pandemic worth murdering an economy over. Because science. Idiocracy is real, and we are living it. Dr. Lexus would be an improvement over Fauci.

I am done. Don’t ask me to pledge to the flag, or salute the troops, or shoot fireworks on the 4th. It’s a sick, twisted, heartbreaking joke, this bloated, unrecognizable corpse of a republic that once was ours.

I am not alone. Not sure how things continue to function when millions of citizens no longer feel any loyalty to or from the society they live in.

I was raised to be a lady, and ladies don’t curse, but fuck these motherfuckers to hell and back for what they’ve done to me, and mine, and my country. All we Joe Blow Americans ever wanted was a little patch of land to raise a family, a job to pay the bills, and at least some illusion of freedom, and even that was too much for these human parasites. They want it all, mind, body and soul. Damn them. Damn them all.

This is one of the primary ways they do it. If you think for a minute most elections are reasonably fair, or that your vote counts, well, good for you.



After analyzing the July 2022 voter rolls, Jurski’s group informed Florida elections officials that in just one of the state’s 27 U.S. congressional districts (District 11) nearly 60,000 residential addresses were in need of updating and correction.

The group found over 30,000 residential addresses that were designated by the United States Postal Service as undeliverable.
Jurski stated there were thousands of address splits in which voters had their addresses temporarily altered in 2020 and that the practice continues today.

“Performing the switch is how an unauthorized actor could get a person’s mail-in ballot without his or her knowledge.
This may be why there are so many obviously faulty addresses kept on voter registration rolls.

It may also explain the experience reported by many in-person voters who showed up at their polling places to vote on election day and were told by the election worker they had already voted, Jurski said.

“Thousands of these ballots are being voted by someone—then just in time for the election, the addresses are electronically switched back, making the scheme all but undetectable by local election officials.

“This is classic identity theft,” alleged Jurski.

The USPS has to be in on this. To prove it, go try to do a change of address yourself, either with a form or online. It's like pulling teeth so it's hard to imagine how an individual could do this "from the outside", much less by the thousands.

There's no doubt, at least in my mind, that the left has a number of operative INSIDE the USPS. :mad:

This letter says it all; sad, but true. I held out hope for quite some time, but I honestly feel like we are beyond repair and that we’ve reached the point of no return. The demontard commies know how to cheat and cover it up, but now they don’t even have to. They don’t care if you know how they got in power or what their plans are for turning this country into a globalist mecca where right is wrong and persecuted while sick perverted f@@@s get a free pass and everything handed to them.
