Historic: Kamala Harris Becomes First Black Woman To Destroy World Economy U.S. — Experts predicted that today would go down as a historic day, as Kamala Harris became the first black woman to destroy the world economy. The achievement was the first of its kind, with members of the media and prominent political leaders all hailing it as an impressive step forward in the pursuit of equality and the advancement of women of color.

Hopefully, Kommie's downfall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden's Immigration Obsession Immigration ranks as one of the top three issues affecting voter opinion (Biden's age was number 1, immigration number 2, and inflation/economy in third place.) There's little more Biden can do about number 1, and little he seems to want to do about number 3, but on immigration still-President Joe will leave quite a record for Vice President Kamala Harris to drag into November. The problem is that Biden has been obsessed with immigration. He is obsessed with finding new ways to bring more migrants to the U.S.—some of his tricks resulted in tens of thousands of people entering, others just a few hundred. The numbers seemed to matter less than the process. Such is obsession. Harris seems not to share his zeal, but inherits it as a legacy (and an electoral problem) just the same.

Bidementia & Kommie are eviscerated. It has always irked me how they consistently report glowing job-numbers and invariably revise them downward. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fact Check: Lousy Jobs Report Brings Out The Worst In Biden-Harris Shortly after Friday's anemic jobs report came out, the stock market tumbled, recession fears rose, and the Biden-Harris administration issued another Pollyannish report about how great the economy is doing – this time with bigger and bolder lies. Not only did just 114,000 jobs get created in July, which was well below economists' expectations, but the jobless rate went up for the fourth consecutive month to 4.3% as 352,000 joined the unemployment lines. That's not exactly "Morning in America." It gets worse. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also admitted that it had overestimated the job gains in both May and June by a total of 29,000. This continues a nearly unbroken and highly suspicious trend that has resulted in the BLS claiming big job gains each month – which garnered great press for Biden-Harris – then quietly cutting those numbers in subsequent months, often by substantial amounts. So far this year, 279,000 have disappeared. [...] https://issuesinsights.com/2024/08/05/lousy-jobs-report-brings-out-the-worst-in-biden-harris/

They ought to revive the codpiece. It could serve as an extra pocket, not only for its main occupant but for loose change, bus tokens, and similar.

The respondents seem to be focusing on the medical aspects precisely because the form, even if expedited, runs a highly uncertain chance of approval. Even expedite requests can take many months. Meanwhile, the medical risk to your wife may increase over that time. Don't count on USCIS to come through for you.

Two gentlemen are pissing into a trough urinal at Kennedy Airport in New York. One man says to the other, "Are you from Chicago?" The other man exclaims, "Yeah; how did you know that?" They continue pissing. The first man says, "And you belong to Congregation Beth El?" The second man exclaims, "Why, yeah -- how did you know that?" They continue pissing. The first man says, "And Rabbi Yablonovitz is the mohel there?" The second man exclaims, "Why, yes -- how did you know that?!" The first man answers, "Because he always cuts on a slant, and you're pissing on my shoe!"

Someone certainly needs to pay for this outrage.

This article explains things clearly, and it appears that the ACLU -- much like the blind squirrel stumbling upon an acorn -- actually got one right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Court Stops NYC Mayor's Efforts to Block Migrant Buses As you will recall, the Governor of Texas has been loading up busloads of illegal migrants in his state and shipping them out to blue cities around the country, with a particular emphasis on New York. That flow of buses has slowed down a bit this summer, but not enough to satisfy Mayor Eric Adams of the Big Apple. He wanted to stop the bus shipments entirely. Being unable to find a way to stop Governor Greg Abbott from sending them, Adams decided to take the bus companies to court, seeking to either force them to go elsewhere or to pay huge fees to cover the cost of caring for the migrants.
