I've said it before and I'll say it again...

The brainwashed and grifted cultists are so ignorant that if the 🍊 🤡 💩 announced tomorrow that he was going to sign an EO that the sun would now rise in the west and set in the east the sycophants would be out there every morning watching for the sun to rise in the west. And when it didnt happen they would blame libs, socialists, Presidents Biden and Obama, and the Clinton crime family. Meanwhile the 🍊 🤡 💩 would be claiming the whole thing was a Democrat hoax.

Bunch of 🤡 🤡 🤡 all of them

The really sickening part is that there are at least 27M+ ‘murikkkans who are right there alongside him with those beliefs, almost 8% of the total population, some who even post here. What a country.

So much winning and cooking the books. Happy holidays everyone, Dems cancelled that Jebus word followed by mas tradition.

A first look at hiring in November shows 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector

Small businesses are “starting to crack” amid a weakening economy, rising costs and fickle consumers; and they drove job losses in the US private sector in November, new data showed Wednesday.

Payroll giant ADP estimated that 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month, a large drop-off from the upwardly revised 47,000 jobs gained in October.

The job losses were overwhelmingly at small establishments (classified as having between one and 49 employees), which shed an estimated 120,000 jobs last month. Medium and large businesses added 51,000 jobs and 39,000 jobs, respectively.

By industry, the losses were more broad based, with some of the deeper drops in industries such as professional and business services, information and manufacturing.

Economists were expecting that 40,000 jobs would be added, according to FactSet.

Private employers have shed jobs in four of the past six months, ADP data shows. The net loss of 32,000 reported for November is the largest monthly drop in two and a half years.

ADP’s estimates, which are drawn from anonymized and aggregated payroll data from its clients, don’t often fully correlate with the official monthly jobs numbers that are released by the government.

However, ADP’s reports have gained prominence in recent weeks, because the historic federal shutdown mangled statistical agencies’ abilities to collect, analyze and release economic data.

The November jobs report, which originally was supposed to be released Friday, has been delayed until December 16 and will include partial data from October.

His believers/followers/supporters/voters/worshipers  won't care one bit if and when it happens. In fact they'll probably encourage it.

"I know many black people, they all say it, and they've told me I'm the only white guy, I'm a WHITE GUY, that they are ok with saying that word. Many people are saying we should change the meaning of that word, use it more often to, you know, soften it, or something? Turn it into a positive. Some are saying I'm the only one who could successfully do that, you know, take that horrible word and make a complete 360 on it, you know, turn it completely around, just like I did with the country, after what Sleepy Joe did, the country was in the TOILET, and I turned it completely around, just like maybe we should do with the N word. You never know, we'll have to see, but I think I could do it, many say I could do it..."

In keeping with this administration’s habit of unveiling massive new policies on social media, DHS head Kristi Noem took to X to announce she's “recommending a full travel ban." https://trib.al/qHm0pkc

It's part of a desperate scramble by the White House, as it attempts to move on from the inconvenient facts around last week’s shooting in the nation’s capital.

The reality is, the National Guard would not have been on the D.C. streets in the first place had the administration not ordered them there as a political stunt in August, claiming they would fight a “crime emergency.” (Trump said nonsensically on Tuesday that, thanks to him and those he deployed, Washington now had “no murders.”) 

But Trump, Noem, and other strident anti-immigrant administration figures like Stephen Miller have spent the last week using this tragedy to promote anti-immigration sentiment among the public.

Yeah and whatever those turds say, it was the trump admin that accepted the guy in April. If they want to say he was improperly vetted then that's on them

Fuck that CPB, eh? And double fuck the poors. But it’s okay, Todd Vasos earned:

Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos took home $2.15 million last year, which included a base salary of $1.4 million, $214,849 in non-equity incentives, and $406,581 from the personal use of the company airplane and related ground transportation.

And Family Dollar’s CEO:

The CEO of Family Dollar, Michael Creedon Jr., earned a total compensation of approximately 

$7.6 million in the most recent reporting period, with an estimated annualized earning of about $9.2 million. His compensation includes a base salary, equity, and other compensation. 

But don’t worry, it’ll trickle down.

How the dollar-store industry overcharges cash-strapped customers while promising low prices

A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes

On a cloudy winter day, a state government inspector named Ryan Coffield walked into a Family Dollar store in Windsor, North Carolina, carrying a scanner gun and a laptop.

Inside the store, which sits along a three-lane road in a county of peanut growers and poultry workers, Coffield scanned 300 items and recorded their shelf prices. He carried the scanned bar codes to the cashier and watched as item after item rang up at a higher price.

Red Baron frozen pizzas, listed on the shelf at $5, rang up at $7.65. Bounty paper towels, shelf price $10.99, rang up at $15.50. Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Stouffer’s frozen meatloaf, Sprite and Pepsi, ibuprofen, Klondike Minis – shoppers were overpaying for all of them. Pedigree puppy food, listed at $12.25, rang up at $14.75.

All told, 69 of the 300 items came up higher at the register: a 23% error rate that exceeded the state’s limit by more than tenfold. Some of the price tags were months out of date.

The January 2023 inspection produced the store’s fourth consecutive failure, and Coffield’s agency, the state department of agriculture & consumer services, had fined Family Dollar after two previous visits. But North Carolina law caps penalties at $5,000 per inspection, offering retailers little incentive to fix the problem. “Sometimes it is cheaper to pay the fines,” said Chad Parker, who runs the agency’s weights-and-measures program.

These overcharges are widespread.

Dollar General stores have failed more than 4,300 government price-accuracy inspections in 23 states since January 2022, a Guardian review found. Family Dollar stores have failed more than 2,100 price inspections in 20 states over the same time span, the review found.

Among these thousands of failed inspections, some of the biggest flops include a 76% error rate in October 2022 at a Dollar General in Hamilton, Ohio; a 68% error rate in February 2023 at a Family Dollar in Bound Brook, New Jersey; and a 58% error rate three months ago at a Family Dollar in Lorain, Ohio.

Many of the stores that failed state or local government checks were repeat violators. A Family Dollar in Provo, Utah, flunked 28 inspections in a row – failures that included a 48% overcharge rate in May 2024 and a 12% overcharge rate in October 2025.

Trump's Transportation Secretary Duffy & FAA Administrator Bedford Announce Prime Integrator to Oversee Construction of Brand New Air Traffic Control System
Thursday, December 4, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and Federal Aviation Administrator Bryan Bedford today announced Peraton will be the Prime Integrator to lead the most important aviation infrastructure project in decades. The organization, in tandem with USDOT and the FAA, will oversee the rollout of a brand-new air traffic control system to enhance the safety and efficiency of our skies. This project received a historic $12.5 billion down payment thanks to President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. 

“We are thrilled to be working with Peraton because they share President Trump's drive to modernize our skies safely at record speed,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “Working together, we are going to build on the incredible progress we’ve already made and deliver a state-of-the-art air traffic control system that the American traveling public — and our hard-working air traffic controllers — deserve.”

“We are taking bold action to ensure our air traffic system is the envy of the world,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. “The One Big Beautiful Bill gave us a strong $12.5 billion down payment to start this modernization effort. But to finish the job—and deliver the safer, more efficient system travelers deserve—we’re going to need another $20 billion. This is a long-term investment in the future of air travel, and we’re committed to getting it right.”

nothing to see here....

ProPublica identified 32 political appointees at the Department of Transportation with industry ties, including 11 who recently held investments in transportation companies and adjacent industries.

“You hear of the phrase ‘the fox guarding the henhouse,’” a safety advocate said. This is “the fox designing the henhouse.”

The memo explains that DOJ is in the process of revising federal standards related to the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) in order to align with President Trump's executive order on "gender ideology extremism." The Jan. 20 executive order asserts that the United States recognizes only two sexes: male and female.

The federal government clearly is not listening to the nurses. This week, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it is rescinding the minimum staffing standards for nursing homes. These standards provided a floor to ensure nursing home residents receive the basic bedside care needed. Rescinding this rule will cause undue stress on nurses already struggling with chronic understaffing and put vulnerable nursing home residents at risk.
