If all true he certainly his quite the hypocrite.

People are less safe in red states, is how I read it.

I will take my chances in a red state over a blue one anytime.

*(Mini) Katie’s Sidebar: Appeals court: trial court did not err when it allowed jury to hear evidence of other sexual assaults by Trump against Jessica Leeds & Natasha Stoynoff. The evidence was “relevant because…it had a tendency to prove that Mr. Trump did sexually assault Ms. Carroll.”...

For gosh sakes. Let’s make fun of someone trying to extend a kindness.

Well, shoot fire, nothing like keeping up with current events.

 

[UT1983]

Was this an embarrassing mistake? Sure. But is it too much to give credit for trying to do an honorable thing?

Would it be better if the Governor extended no words of condolences at all?

Stocks surged more than 24 percent in 2024, even as Americans fretted over the economy. Of course, you’d never know that from the media coverage during the months leading up to the election.

The poorest states per capita get the most Federal dollars. You should probably change your criteria. And before you start to bloviate that red states are poor, they are the most rural.

Gee I remember when MAGA was called a cult, obviously the Never Trumpers are the true cult since the landslide.

Trump won. Get over it.

“[2024] is expected to end with a nearly 16% drop in homicides …. “The three consecutive years of declining homicides come in the wake of a 30% jump in murders between 2019 and 2020, the largest single-year increase in more than a century.”...

Despite Trump’s knee-jerk decision to blame the New Orleans terrorist attack on an immigrant, the suspect is actually a 42-year-old US Army veteran who was born and raised in Texas. He was apparently radicalized online.

The H1B workers are not lower paid workers, at least in my industry.

HERE IT IS: Why Elon Musk is pushing so hard to increase H-1B visas. Back in April 2024, Tesla had massive layoffs—but at the same time, they requested over 2,000 H-1B visas. For context, the U.S. caps H-1Bs at 65,000 a year, and Tesla tried to grab more than 3% of them. There’s more… (1 of 2)
