“.. The layoffs — occurring just three days before President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/trum...

Bill Pulte, Trump's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, moved this week to slash the inspector general's office that scrutinizes his actions — prompting calls from Dems for his resignation. It's the second time Trump officials have moved to limit scrutiny of the agency run by Pulte.

CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

This is truly bonkers. I can have zero experience, refuse any certification, curriculum, or accreditation AND take public money while teaching literally whatever the hell I want to in my choice of 9 states
You could open Ye Olde Free-Range Academy in South Carolina and eight other states.
Your school's name comes from your answers to Question 3, "No. I want the freedom to teach whatever I see fit, whether it's Scripture or homesteading," and Question 10, "Old-timey words like 'Heritage' or "Ye Olde!"

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

Eleven days before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Egypt's intelligence chief made a secret mission to Israel to warn officials of a possible assault. He was on the ground just 67 minutes, so intent he had to come in person. Vivian Salama has the receipts. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
