He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

The February jobs report is out. They had estimated that 50,000 jobs would be added. In actuality, 92,000 jobs have been lost. Unemployment rate was estimated to be 4.3% and it is actually 4.4%.

Looks like we’ve been in a recession for a while, as I believed.

We’re just getting these numbers, but the White House has some advance notice & still went rushing into this war?

As the data continues to come into the Bureau of Labor, the trend has been to downgrade to reported figures. Hmmm.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.

So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.

So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.

Got it.

Realized my @titanbooks.bsky.social demons are finalists for both the Bram Stoker Awards and the Splatterpunk Awards. I'm proud of this book, both as a fiction collection and because of the personal connection readers have shared about, whether in their demon days or remembering them.

Thank you πŸ–€πŸ˜ˆ
