The halftime show was like a Rorschach test for the country. I saw a party, a wedding and people having a blast.
So, I don’t know Kevin, I think you see what you want to see.

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

For instance the Water Industry in England has enough profits to employ around 150,000 extra people.
If it were Government run.
And imagine how much could be done if their workforce tripled.
But no, lets just let the billionaires steal it all.

Just a reminder there are now 4x as many people actively seeking jobs as there are jobs available.
The highest ratio ever and it is only going up.
How are people going to work these jobs that don't exist?

Abolish and prosecute ICE.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

The real news here is Peter Navarro saying lower jobs numbers *are good* because they (supposedly) indicate fewer immigrants are working in the US. Trump-MAGA ideology values sheer numbers of removals over pretty much all else because their top priority is ethnic reengineering.
