Mortgage and auto loan delinquencies are rising fast in the US.

When consumers start skipping car payments, it’s a flashing alarm.

People will skip everything else before they lose their car. That’s how they get to work. If they’re missing payments now, the strain is already severe.

_PBS CEO Pops Up Hours After NPR Boss, Claims There’s Zero Evidence of Bias_

Inversion of the burden of proof: If there were no bias, that would be easy to prove simply by showing a long history—including recent history—of news and opinion they've published from both sides of the political spectrum, with a statistically robust distribution between left and right (e.g, a balanced spread to the left and the right from the mid line.)

Key fact: Were there no bias, the left would not be so supportive of these sources, and the right would not be so opposed. That's NOT a debatable point.

in reply to relentless_eduardo

@relentless_eduardoThe burden of proof is on PBS and NPR to justify their continued receipt of public funds. It's not on the taxpayers to prove they don't have to continue to fund them--or anyone else.

There are MANY views other than communism (extreme socialism,) extreme social conservatism, extreme fiscal conservatism, extreme limited government, extreme free-market propertarianism, extreme Progressivism, extreme wokeinsm, etc. And those can be mixed in non-traditional ways (e.g. rabidly pro-transgender + extreme free-market propertarianism + Hinduism.)

That's one of the very strong arguments against ANY public funding for news and opinion publishing: It's inherently impossible to be neutral, to be "balanced."

🇫🇷The Prime Minister of France has signed his own "political death sentence" by proposing to cancel Victory Day and a number of social benefits, writes Politico.

Bayrou proposed to deprive the French of vacations, freeze their social security, and save billions of dollars on healthcare in order to save the budget.

But most of all, the general outrage, as the publication writes, was caused by Bayrou's call to cancel two of the 11 public holidays in France. He named Easter Monday and Victory in Europe Day on May 8 as two potential candidates for cancellation.

Opposition leader Marine Le Pen has already promised to overthrow Bayrou's government.

L'Etat Policier Français a fait défiler les tanks anti manifestants pour célébrer la dernière fois où des manifestants ont renversé l'élite qui s'était approprié tous les pouvoirs.

Le lendemain l'élite qui s'est appropriée tous les pouvoirs a annoncé qu'il serait peut être bien de supprimer des jours fériés aux interdits de manifestation pour payer les dettes causés par l'élite qui paie pas d’impôts.

- Yemeni: Second-degree homicide, assault and battery

Hey lady believe what you want, but the fact remains that America isn't YOURS to dole out to interlopers as you see fit.

If Miguel had come legally, you would be paying off his costs. It's cheaper for you to pay someone else to do your work if they come with lower overhead.

IF true, only a business guy like Trump could have done this.

"As of July 1, the United States has reaped $106.1 billion dollars in tariff revenue. If the same pace and level of tariffs remain the same, that would translate to around $300 billion added to Treasury annually."

Because he said... Pay now or they go higher... and you want to "sell to my customers" so DO IT

That is if the US actually collected the money.

We invented computers in 1941 and then apparently forgot everything about them.

Someone has now realised that the software that the government uses has bug, leading to 1440 teacher positions not getting filled. Even though the money for them is in the budget.
This bug existed apparently since 2005.

That is crazy. for 20 years no one asked why do we have this much money left over? or what the fuck happened with that

"This is what people power looks like...It's thanks to these protesters that ICE has not shown up to immigration courts...So when you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize in your communities, show up to immigration courts and scare ICE away, just like these folks do.

Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."


The Firm - Star Trekkin ' (1987) + Adult Swim


"Star Trekkin'" is a song by British novelty band the Firm. It parodies the original Star Trek TV series and prominently features comical voice caricatures of the Trek characters, provided by members of the band, a studio technician, and the wife of one of the songwriters.
One of the song's phrases, "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it", actually originated with "Star Trekkin'" but has been subsequently misattributed to the TV series.

Melania's nude modeling Einstein Visa.🤔

You can't make this shit up. I heard this online, so I wanted to know for sure. Gemini says she received an EB-1 Visa.

Melania Trump reportedly received an EB-1 visa, commonly known as the "Einstein Visa," in 2001. This visa category is for individuals with "extraordinary ability" in fields such as sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, and typically requires "sustained national or international acclaim." She later became a US citizen in 2006.

What special skills does Melania possess? Since when does nude modeling qualify an immigrant for a special Einstein Visa?
