Economy
California is losing more workers than it is gaining
[NYPOST] Tens of thousands of professionals left California last year while fewer moved in to the state as the exorbitant cost of living as well as high taxes make it harder to retain talent.

California lost nearly 87,000 professionals last year while just 69,000 relocated to the state, according to a report published by the National Association of Realtors.

The data comes on the heels of a fresh Bureau of Labor Statistics report which found that California's unemployment rate ticked up to 5.4% last month, the second highest in the nation.

#5  The raw data this is the basis for this NYPost article is from the National Association of Realtors. The presumption of the Association is that people who sell houses and buy houses are 'professionals'.

I think the NYPost used the word 'workers' in their title to be more general.

Yemi Mobolade, the Black Mayor of Colorado Springs, just got busted for plotting with the career criminal who staged a hate crime to rig the election by doing a KKK-style cross burning
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

…Mobolade for prosecution for lying to them about his communications with the suspect, Derek Bernard, but the Biden DOJ refused to follow through. “The initial response from the Department of Justice was ‘we can’t indict the first black mayor of Colorado Springs." - FBI Official.

"The FBI interviewed Mobolade twice to determine his knowledge of the hoax, and Mobolade explicitly and strenuously denied contact with Bernard... The official said there were dozens of messages between Bernard and the now-mayor. The official also said Mobolade was scrolling through his phone as a memory aide during the interview, but that “he was literally skipping over text messages,” not realizing that the bureau had already obtained them elsewhere." -
@lukerosiak

Racism is so non-existent in America that candidates are consistently staging Jussie Smollett hoaxes to influence elections. The Mayor also spoke to Bernard on the phone beyond the text messages. I personally think he knew exactly what he was planning and knew it would help him get sympathy votes. I hope Future U.S. AG Pam Bondi puts Mobolade in jail for lying to investigators & defrauding the public.
Mayor Mobolade came to America from Nigeria at the age of 17, following his elder brother. He is a Presbyterian minister, following in the footsteps of his missionary parents, and founded a missionary church after settling in Colorado Springs after completing his university education. In addition to his pastoral work, he prides himself on being an entrepreneur and businessman, and with his American wife parenting three children.

#1 

Remember, the KKK is now owned by a Black family estate, or was around the 1980's.

That's when the KKK was sued and lost in court, and then defaulted on the court judgement. It's name and assets then became the property of the suing parties.

Chicago Democrat threatens police officers that she is an ''elected official'' and taunts an officer for his ''small penis''
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

… When police pulled her over, Steele quickly told them that she was "an elected official."

After resisting field sobriety tests and declining to provide a breathalyzer sample, Steele was sent to the hospital.

There, she reportedly taunted the officer, asking: "Is your p*nis that small?"

She was charged with misdemeanor DUI.

Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison has since demanded her resignation.
Chicago. *shrug*

#4  How often are sober people pulled over for DUI and arrested?

More often than people think because some cops, especially in groups, some cliques of cops are spectacularly more crooked than given credit for.

More than 600 sober drivers arrested for DUI in TN. Do you think it was just one guy arresting 600 people, or was it a group of corrupt cops? I am betting on the latter.

These Democrats want to work with Trump after bashing him as an ‘extremist’
It’s interesting to see who was merely playing political hardball before the election — nothing personal, truly. It will be even more interesting to see which of them President Trump chooses to work with, and which he snubs for cause. A taste:
[WashingtonExaminer] Democrats are putting aside their criticisms of President-elect Donald Trump now that he’s returning to the White House and they want to deliver wins for their voters.

After slamming Trump as a “dangerous fascist” and “wannabe dictator,” some Democrats are looking to find “common ground” with Trump on issues they think he might be soft on.

House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), for example, expressed interest in “working with the incoming administration whenever and wherever possible to find bipartisan common ground to solve problems for the American people.”

Jeffries previously called Trump “a pro-Putin conspiracy-peddling, election-denying extremist” who “lies for a living.”

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced a bill to ABOLISH the Department of Education

#1 
Just, leave it up to the states, and mandate they must meet minimum educational standards. Of course, that means California, Oregon and Washington states students are screwed.

NOTE: Eliminating Dept of Education would only save a mere $90B out of the US budget

Total US revenue: $4.919 trillion (actual) 17.1% of GDP
Total US Fed expenditures: $6.752 trillion (actual) 23.4% of GDP
2024 Deficit alone: $1.833 trillion (actual), 6.4% of GDP

BTW: The O'Biden Reigem felt Ukraine was 10x's ($200B) more important, than the need to insure US future citizens and illegals were properly educated.

ALSO, NOTE: If you take the time to look at the Link provided regarding the Federal Budget. You'll notice a majority of the Federal Dept. requested 10+% more funds in 2024 than the previous year.

Yet US SSA citizens got a 2.5% +/-COLA?????

Blinken questioned for State Department hosting in-house therapy sessions after Trump win
[NYPOST] Rep. Darrell Issa took aim at Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...

was not elected President of the United States,'' Issa (R-Calif.) said in a letter to Blinken last week.

The letter comes after a Washington Free Beacon report earlier this month that detailed two alleged therapy sessions that were held at the State Department after Trump's victory, with sources telling the outlet that one such instance amounted to an information ''cry session.''

In another instance, an email went out to agency employees and touted a separate ''insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times'' after Trump's victory, according to the report.

''Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty,'' the email said. ''Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well being.''

In his letter to Blinken, Issa argued that the reported sessions were ''disturbing'' and that ''nonpartisan government officials'' should not be suffering a ''personal meltdown over the result of a free and fair election.''
