We urgently need a federal privacy law to protect our privacy from big tech companies who spy on us on our phones and social media, to protect us from Flock cameras that are being improperly accessed by folks who are using that information to target innocent people.

That data is already old. With the latest 29k growth and prior month downward revisions, Trump's economy added +0.58 Million total jobs so far, or +30.4k jobs / mo. This is a 76% REDUCTION from Biden's "post covid" years, where he added +3.06 Million jobs in 2023 & 2024, or +127.6k jobs / mo

Massive congratulations Mark... ~8 million in US on blood thinner/anti coagulants, with close to ~6 million on orals like apixaban (Eliquis) or rivaroxaban (Xarelto). These and warfarin (~2 million) are CRAZY expensive and sending many families into bankruptcy. Congrats!

Good to remember that Franklin almost didn't sign the Constitution. At the final Convention, he warned that failure would be inevitable if the people in co-equal branches became corrupted, ignored our laws, and became loyal to a despotic ruler.

This is the same, DANGEROUS hate baiting trope used by the Nazi party, Pinochet, and Marcos - to dehumanize people, sow division, stoke hate, cast groups of people as barbaric subhumans, and even normalize war crimes and allow the Holocaust to happen. Look up "Judeo-Bolshevism” in Germany.

Initial numbers tend to be VERY optimistic today. 2025 numbers were adjusted downwards after initial reporting by 51% - so we need to await/see. Also, ave job growth in '23 and '24 were 218.5k a month (after adjustments). This compares to 22.5k since Jan 2025...so we have a ways to go

So.. by this definition, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war. Its was a special operation to diminish naval capabilities that were blockading oil/fuel and other critical supplies to feed the nation... So why did we call it an act of war?

Iran was getting fleeced by Britain - getting less than 16% of net profits after Brits sold internally at steep discounts. Massogegh wanted 50:50, and Britain did full naval blockade to crater the economy - and Mossagegh started looking for other buyers (including Russia) before the coup

Khamenei was a bad guy, but this illegal action also cost tax payers ~$1 billion "so far" (munitions, deployment), and lives of ~148 little girls at an elementary school. A "Weapon of Mass Distraction" to distract from despicable pedo crimes in the Epstein files - that harmed more little girls.

trad123.bsky.social @trad123.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
Thanks for correction. Yes, next in line are hardliners. I think it's also crazy that Khomeini and Khamenei happened as a backlash to CIA and MI6 coup/regime change in 1953 - to remove democratically elected Mossadegh and put the Shah monarchy in power to protect oil until mass revolt in 1979.

This violates many ratified international agreements that are "Supreme Law of the Land" (per Article VI), and bonafide US federal laws. Examples - Rules for "most favored nation" in the WTO - which also cap tariffs at 3% - Zero tariff agreement in USMCA - Free Trade Agreements w/many countries

Did anyone really think that Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla needed $51 billion more than we needed healthcare, childcare, housing, food assistance, and education? Does anyone actually think those companies will use those billions to make our lives better in any way?
graph shows: 4 big tech companies avoided $51 billion in federal income tax in 2025 Collectively these tech giants paid an effective tax rate of 4.9%

Come on Newsweek, pls report better.... - 130k a month is only 33% of 349k a month growth during Biden yrs, and 66% of 2023 & 2024 (Biden's post covid years)...still poor. - 2025 job numbers were just revised DOWNWARD 69%. Lots of "optimistic numbers" going around that's likely to be revised down

Also...Roe decision had 5 of 6 REPUBLICAN justices and 2 of 3 Democratic justices ruling for Roe. A Rep wrote the majority opinion and a Dem wrote the dissent. Roe was a REPUBLICAN decision - when justice was blind - and before religion became increasingly intertwined w/govt starting 1980.

I think it's good to remember that when we ratified the Constitution. Abortion was LEGAL in every state. While NOT encouraged, every state governed abortion thru English Common law and it was legal until quickening (1st movement 16-20 wks). After that, most states considered it a misdemeanor.

The Bible reserves some of its harsher condemnations for people (esp for religious leaders) who harm the vulnerable, oppressed, sick, and immigrants. Acts 5:29; Jeremiah 22:3,16; Exodus 22:21; Mark 7:9:Matthew 23; Luke 11; Mark 7; Matthew 18:15; Romans 16:17; John 1:10–11; James 5:19–20; etc….

Isn't this is too lax?. ICE is an immigration/customs agency, NOT general law enforcement w/ police authorities. They have EXTREMELY LIMITED AUTHORITY over US citizens.. and can only act on citizens in country if they see a federal crime or a federal felony, or enforcing a judicial warrant.

Agree, but let's not forget that our ONLY federal court for trade ruled against his tariffs in May 25. Court of Appeals re-affirmed Trump’s tariffs were illegal in Aug. SCOTUS rulings this term is 17:18 in favor of the regime - nullifying federal court rulings, so probability is not great.

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability. We might have thought that the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust were enough to inoculate us against the toxins there revealed and unleashed. But our resistance quickly fades. A new generation gladly abandons its critical and skeptical faculties. Old slogans and hatreds are dusted off. What was only recently muttered guiltily is now offered as political axiom and agenda. There are renewed appeals to ethnocentrism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, and territoriality. And with a sigh of relief we are apt to surrender to the will of the alpha, or long for an alpha we can surrender to.”

Founding Fathers wanted NO PARTIES in govt. Washington's farewell address was a plea to not create parties/factions. Adams said a two party system would be greatest EVIL under the Constitution, Jefferson said he'd rather go to hell than have to be a party. The list goes on.

This is good on the one hand, but this transition is almost entirely paid for by Norway pumping and selling massive amounts of fossil fuels. ~48% of their export revenue and vast majority of their large $1.8T sovereign wealth fund is from fossil fuel sales.
