Lol
Of course didn’t fire that many employees. What I’m saying is that the general economic conditions (most of which predated both Biden, and Trump’s first term) are choking the working class
I presume that mortgage problem is a direct result of Powell and his 400 plus PhD holders at the Federal Reserve maintaining high fed rates. If he lowered it like he did for Obama ( 0% for about 7 years) the mortgage and interest rates would drastically come down, you think so?

So far, over 10 million households are either behind on their rent or mortgage payments 🙆🏽‍♂️

This is a pointer to the fact that the job market is tightening, resulting in an explosion of underemployment
Didn't know that Trump fired over 10 million federal employees .

Ijebos. This is a place to unwind and express bizarre thoughts at times.

Now can you imagine if Trump won. Proves that 2020 was stolen and the deep state used actors like McCord, Weissman and Noem Elsen to go after him. Can you imagine all those stories FBI claims are conspiracies finally confirmed to be true like the authenticity of Hunter Biden laptop? Close your eyes and imagine all I've been posting here finally confirmed.
Letitia James after being surcharged forced to serve donoughts at a Trump hotel the rest of her life as reparations. Ruby Freeman and her daughter serving as Rudy Giuliani gardeners and washing his dogs the rest of their lives.Joe Biden assigned the job of stamping illegal aliens deportation in the stinking print chemical smelling storeroom .The lawfare group in Gitmo getting close with Al Qaeda terrorists jailed there. Director Wray commits suicide he can't take the shame.basilico handle goes into nairaland Hall of Fame while Ijebos requests Seun to drop all his handles from the database. Phew.

Then it's all made into a yuuge blockbuster series. Airing on TMTG. It's market capitalization goes into the trillion dollar range Books fly out of the shelves faster than new iphone models.

Summary. A lot of what democrats do and have done to America is completely criminal and evil.
This was a Sep 2024 post
Kash Patel is working on my dream . Obama deputy AG Sally Yates email ordering FBI to shut down the Clinton investigation has been released. She was being investigated for using pay to play with her private email server . Almost everyone granted a chance to see her at the State Department ended up donating to her Clinton Foundation.
The top tier dirty players who haven't been named yet : Lisa Monaco, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissman, Norm Eisen whose career and lifelong ambitions are to take down Trump.

According to recent declassed docs FBI was investigating an email Hillary sent to a "John Burke" from an airport runway in Russia. She used her private email address. Why would be they want to know who John Burke is?
We know so far If Clinton had won
James Comey : AG
Andrew McCabe: FBI Director
Loretta Lynch : Supreme Court Judge
Pencil Neck Schiff: CIA Director

Clearly Trump beating Clinton left a lot of butthurt in people,who took the suicidal route instead of moving on to their next phase in life.

Loretta Lynch met secretly with Bill Clinton on the runway to discuss golf,travel, yoga and grandchildren . We know Hillary Clinton was getting updates from DOJ regarding her email investigation. One week this tarmac meeting Comey cleared Hillary saying no sane prosecutor would ever indict her if " John Burke' was Obama and such other crap.
Loretta Lynch would have replaced Sotomayor, who had refused to resign thinking It was her turn to break the glass ceiling.Every other name I mentioned here was part of the Russian hoax peddlers including John Burke.

Make I drop this one.. grin grin

I think i will blame Biden for this and the Democrats..

They are solely responsible for these debts..

Trumps admin must not be blamed. The BBB and Tarrifs should resolve this in a jiffy and not adding even a dollar to the debt.
Jerome Powell refusal to lower the Fed Rate means this debt is rising bu 3.35% if I'm right even without the govt spending anything. That's $1 Trillion or so a year.
Looks like the long term plan was to make the debt unpayable , forcing govt to take drastic measures. More govt involvement in everything , more it tends to communism..

Adam Schiff who potentially faces 20 years for leaking classified documents if the intention was to undermine or remove the president was issued a pardon by the autopen.
Bad news. The autopen pardoned him from matters related to his roles with the sham J6 committee.

The chain of command for the National Guard does not include Nancy Pelosi, it does include Trump.
The Capital Police board, with a security member from both the House and Senate are responsible for security.
Republicans ran the Senate at the time, but it's convenient you somehow choose to blame Pelosi only, not McConnel and not the person, the President who could have easily brought in troops.
It's also odd that for you at one moment it wasn't a violent event but at another moment it was something that needed emergency national guards to maintain order.

This is why I block you. You don't even have a passing understanding of the things you post yet continue to post pages and reams of propaganda.
So, you stay posting purposeful misinformation from people with things to gain without understanding that its mostly BS.
I don't even understand what your end goal is.
You seem to want to be the person who will never enter the US, yet who posts the most misinformation about it because he somehow knows the US more than everyone else besides haven't never stepped foot in it nor studied its history.
Seems like hubris and lack of self awareness.
So the Capita Police chief was wrong that he was denied permission 3 days before and on the sane day ?
I quoted him, the National Guard Command Sergeant and Pelosi saying she was responsible.
Anything from you is just a loud fart on this matter.

So a whistleblower informed FBI that Adam Schiff was leaking classified info and had also setup a mechanism to leak Schiff and or Swalwell were leaking to Washington Posts among other outlets

Now it turns out James Coney was leaking to NYT through his friend, a Columbia professor . The aide was interviewed by FBI and he confirmed it. The reporter who received the leak won a Pulitzer Prize for his Russia hoax reporting. Trump has sued Pulitzer to revoke the awards to the journalists who won them from reporting in Russia.

https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/comey-media-mole-admitted-fbi-he-shaped-russia-narrative-needed

This shows FBI had evidence that leakers were shaping Russia. We have Schiff at the House committee, then we have Senator Mark Warner aide James Wolfe and now we have James Comey all coordinated doing Hillary dirty job of smearing Trump with Russia.This should be a seditious conspiracy with more than 3 media names already mentioned as receiving/ possessing classified documents. Ali Watkins, Michael Schmidt both NYT and several others from WAPO.

John Solomon says there will be more info revealed today , about the extent of FBI leaking which he called shocking.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVHNSJ9MXjE?si=FNHqass6Xn6R__me

The FBI was the perpetrator of the Russia hoax and its investigators. Thanks to ...the one who should not be named. It's a totally fuqed up criminal body.

Can't wait for what FBI knew about 2020 elections ,I'm sure it will be revealed in due time.

So, you mean you can make crap up in your head and lie? Thankfully, courts are not gullible like you, and would require evidence and proof before they accept what you lie about.

Incidentally, Wolf Richter has been leaning maga recently. He loves tariffs and even seems to be deleting antimaga posts sometimes, but the data does not lie nor can he say he is too blind to see it.

Time will tell.
You are quick to post anything negative about Trump. I just educated you that data can be used to arrive at any desired conclusions , and make a very convincing case in the process. Here is another chatbot spelling out both sides .

Negative Economic Outlook for Trump's 2025 Economy

The 2025 economy under Donald Trump is facing significant challenges, leading many to argue that it is one of the worst in recent history. Despite an unemployment rate of 4.2%, the overall economic landscape is marred by rising inflation, with prices increasing by 2.7% compared to the previous year. The impact of Trump's tariffs is evident, as they are projected to generate $165.6 billion in federal tax revenues, yet they also contribute to higher consumer prices, undermining purchasing power. Manufacturing output has only seen a modest 1.8% increase in the first five months of his second term, which is a slower pace compared to the economic recovery. This combination of inflationary pressures and stagnant growth raises serious concerns about the sustainability of the current economic trajectory.

Positive Economic Outlook for Trump's 2025 Economy

The 2025 economy under Donald Trump shows signs of robust growth and stability. The economy experienced a 3.0% GDP growth in Q2, indicating a strong expansion. The unemployment rate remains low at 4.2%, demonstrating a healthy labor market. Trump's policies, including tariffs, have bolstered federal tax revenues, projected to reach $165.6 billion. Furthermore, the manufacturing sector has shown resilience, with a 1.8% increase in output during the first five months of his second term, signaling a positive trend. This economic performance, along with the low unemployment rate, suggests a strong and thriving economy under his leadership.

Netanyahu just saved me from having to reply this hasbara garbage that you just dropped

⚡"Netanyahu told i24 he feels on a “historic and spiritual mission” and strongly identifies with the vision of “Greater Israel,” encompassing land beyond Israel’s current borders, including areas slated for a Palestinian state and parts of Jordan and Egypt.

He framed his role as part of a “mission of generations” for the Jewish people."


They always tell on themselves. You can continue consuming their lies for all that I care. Those who have not suspended their brains know the truth
Which other nationality has descendants of refugees still treated as refugees.
Arab nations expelled most of the Jewry and they found a home in Israel. They left their wealth estimated into hundreds of billions today and they don't whine about it.Unlike the less than 20000 Palestinians still alive who actually fled Israel. Actually I think this figure is less than 200 , Palestinians and Hamas are well known and proven liars.
The Palestinians who ran away hoping the Arab armies would drive every Jew to the Mediterranean should have been assimilated by their host countries , instead they caused problems everywhere Jordan Lebanon etc ( that was enumerated here a few days ago).
Why share a border with anyone who lives for your demise.
There are Israels who were expelled by Jordan from Judea and Samaria ,when they want to claim the land they bought in the 19th and 20th century, Palestinians cry and whine.

If Mexico started firing rockets into America claiming their territories, they would be nuked.
The map I posted of tiny Israel shows the fallacy of the Arabs who cry from the river to the sea.
Foreign Affairs › Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by basilico:
The US Ambassador to Israel clearly gets what Palestinians want Most of the foolish westerners inposing a two state solution for Israel have no clue They want a state with nit Ramallah as their capital but with East Jerusalem as their capital . The area that has Temple Mount.

So when people ask, what is the end game? I’ll tell you what it is, let Israel have the little sliver of land and let them live in it in peace. Quit trying to kill every last Jew. Quit yelling things like from the river to the sea, because when you say that, what you’re saying is, annihilate the Jewish people. Get rid of them. In my office at the embassy, I have a map that was taken out of a fifth grade classroom in Gaza. It is a Hamas map that kids study in Gaza. And it’s a map of we would call it Israel. They would call it Palestine. And on that map, there is no Israel, because it is the map that people are screaming for, from the river to the sea, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, the only thing that exists on that map is a Palestinian state. So when you hear people talk about the Palestinian state, what most people who say that want, it’s not that they want part of a land to be theirs. They want none of the land to be Israel, and in 1973 [Prime Minister] Golda Meir made a statement that’s very, very profound. She said, we will have peace in the Middle East when Arab mothers love their own children more than they hate ours. That sounds harsh, but here we are, 52 years later, and you have to think she was pretty much spot on.
......map made the strategic reality of the Middle East “as vivid as it can get.” It was important, he said, that people understood “how small the land [of Israel] is.

“Israel has given up land. They have turned things over. Every time they do, they get less land, and less peace,” he observed.

He said that a “solution” in which Israel would give up land in the hope of peace clearly “isn’t working out,” especially in the wake of the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, which were launched from Gaza, from which Israel had withdrawn in 2005. The ambassador joked that if France believed in creating a Palestinian state, it should do so along the French Riviera. “They could enjoy some of the prettiest real estate on earth,” he said.
He obviously know this

(
When Muslims conquer territory it becomes theirs forever.If they build a mosque on top of a Jewish ,Church or Indian temple ,the ground becomes waqf, it's theirs forever )
Such an understanding is what's needed to solve this middle east problem. Blaming Israel which is just trying to exist , without understanding what the end goal of Palestinians is , including their demand to return to all of Israel and have universal suffrage , is extreme ignorance.
This tiny country is what they want

I asked Grok to make paragraph using available data showing Trump economy is the worst ever🤨🤫🤫, then do the same showing its the best ever. Results
Trump Economy as the Worst Ever in Six Months of 2025: In the first six months of 2025, President Donald Trump’s economic policies have been criticized for ushering in significant challenges, potentially marking one of the worst economic periods in recent U.S. history. The economy contracted by 0.3% annualized in Q1 2025, the weakest performance since Q2 2022, driven by a 4.8% drag from net exports due to tariff-induced import surges and a 5.1% cut in federal spending. The consumer price index rose to 2.7% annually in June from 2.4% in May, with tariffs on China (up to 50%) and other nations pushing prices higher, raising stagflation concerns. Wage growth slowed from 4.2% to 3.9%, and manufacturing jobs remained stagnant at 12.8 million, undermining Trump’s promise of a manufacturing boom. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the $36 trillion national debt, kicking 10 million Americans off public health insurance and cutting SNAP benefits, disproportionately harming low-income households. These policies, combined with a 11% drop in the U.S. dollar’s value (DXY index from 109.4 to 97.3), have fueled economic uncertainty, with critics arguing they’ve reversed prior growth trends and burdened working-class Americans.

Trump Economy as the Best Ever in Six Months of 2025: In the first six months of 2025, President Donald Trump’s economic policies have driven what some describe as an unprecedented boom, positioning the U.S. economy as one of the strongest in modern history. A July 2025 GDP report showed a robust 3% annualized growth in Q2, surpassing expectations, fueled by a 1.4% rise in consumer spending and a rebound in trade balances following initial tariff disruptions. Inflation remained tame at 2% (GDP Price Index), below the anticipated 2.2%, while unemployment held steady at a low 4.1%–4.2%, supporting strong job creation. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit all-time highs, with returns of 5.7% and 6.8% respectively since January 17, 2025, and the cryptocurrency market soared to $4 trillion, with bitcoin crossing $120,000. Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax cut extension and deregulation efforts have spurred investment, with economists praising the “America First” agenda for boosting domestic production and drawing historic investments. Supporters, including White House officials, highlight this as evidence of Trump defying gloomy predictions, delivering resilient growth and a “Made in America” economic surge.

Nancy Pelosi tweeted this

@SpeakerPelosi
Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake.

Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.

Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.

When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.
Others poured in. DC National Command Sergeant clarified his men were ready

@KatieDaviscourt
🚨BOMBSHELL: Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks confirms D.C. National Guard were ready to deploy to the Capitol on Jan. 6 but were never called:

"We were there and we were ready."

Trump asked for their deployment & Nancy Pelosi rejected the request
And here us Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility fir Jan 6.

New York City has implemented strict regulations on coal- and wood-fired ovens, requiring pizzerias with ovens installed before May 2016 to reduce carbon emissions by 75%. This rule, effective April 27, 2023, mandates the installation of emission-control devices (e.g., air filters or scrubbers) costing $20,000–$150,000, with regular inspections by engineers. Approximately 130 pizzerias are affected.

Former Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh described Hamas’s October 7 terrorist massacre as a “courageous and unprecedented operation” that marked “an important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle,” while simultaneously calling for the terror group to join the Palestine Liberation Organization under unified Palestinian leadership.

The remarks, delivered during a July 29 interview on the Mazeej Podcast by Al-Arabiya Network, come as major European nations, including France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, prepare to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations next month, a move that critics warn rewards terrorism and validates Hamas’s strategy of using mass murder to achieve diplomatic gains.

Shtayyeh, who served as Palestinian Authority Prime Minister from 2019 to 2024, offered an explicitly supportive assessment of Hamas’s October 7 massacre — the worst attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust, which killed nearly 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, and saw more than 250 kidnapped, of which approximately 50 hostages remain in Gaza, 20 believed alive and 30 deceased. While praising the operation as “courageous,” he acknowledged what he described as tactical failures, suggesting Hamas had not properly calculated the consequences for Gaza’s civilian population.

Send IDF after me to do what?
Don't be shy.. Say what you mean.

Look at the casualness with which you threaten people for their speech.
I'm sure you agree with this ..

Former Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh described Hamas’s October 7 terrorist massacre as a “courageous and unprecedented operation” that marked “an important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle,” while simultaneously calling for the terror group to join the Palestine Liberation Organization under unified Palestinian leadership.

The remarks, delivered during a July 29 interview on the Mazeej Podcast by Al-Arabiya Network, come as major European nations, including France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, prepare to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations next month, a move that critics warn rewards terrorism and validates Hamas’s strategy of using mass murder to achieve diplomatic gains.

Trump should do what he has to do. Putin is not ready for peace.
You forget the original goal of Putin

One: Prevent Ukraine from replacing it as EU gas supplier when they develop the South Eastern Ukraine massive shale deposits Shell was already doing explorations.

Two: Keep the Crimea port .

Everything else is a by the way

I'll answer that question as soon as you explain why that matters to you more than that it takes 12 hours to drive from Lagos to Warri.

You ask a question that you could have easily googled for yourself.
But I guess you tried and didn't like the answers, so you came up with a conspiracy that the "Woke" replaced all the answers on the Internets with Woke answers.
I'm tempted to post a different response, based on a second opinion , but it's like casting pearls before a swine.It will just trample on them .

These people are living in an alternate reality.
They are derailing the Putin Trump peace talks. If they are invited they will forget about Palestinians. Trump has made them look like soyboys on the world stage, solvings problems they had no clue about.
I'm waiting to see the Nobel pece prize recipients
