Italy's Matteo Salvini actually does the job Donald Trump only talks about doing














Spell check to aisle seven.

Trump is catching 'em alright, and releasing them into the USA at a rate of 1,337 per day for the last three months

They are storming the border because they know Trump is all talk, no action, and incompetent. By signing the funding bill to end the shutdown he actually signed a bill which reduced facility space to hold detainees, meaning he has to release more than before by law.

He's his own worst enemy and has made the problem worse.

Trump has had plenty of time to discover his personnel problem and fix it, so it's all on him


If Hillary were president . . .


John DeStefano, in charge of Trump's 4,000 personnel appointments in 2017, was John Boehner aide

White House personnel official described Trump GOP nomination as 'end of the world':


Fear about a bias toward establishment picks emerged in 2017, when Trump selected DeStefano to lead the PPO. He had worked as an aide to former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, before leading Data Trust. Eyebrows raised with appointees with views at odds with some of Trump’s, such as former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, former foreign policy adviser Dina Powell, and Venezuela envoy Elliott Abrams. ...

A former White House official said DeStefano, 39, set the tone for the PPO with an “us versus them” mentality, often referring to Trump backers as “the MAGA people.” ...

Trump is said to have grown angry with DeStefano at times, including upon finding that a National Security Council official, Jordan Kelly, had not been dismissed from her role as a cyber expert more than a year after he requested it, according to a source.

President Donald Kushner to recognize Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights

It would be nice if we had sovereignty, too, over America's 500 cities giving sanctuary to illegal aliens.

I guess we have to go to war to do that now.

Beto's already spending your gas money contributions on parking tickets and tacos

And John F. Kerry who served in Vietnam never stopped for stop signs when he was behind the wheel.

Stop signs, like No Parking signs, are for little people.

Beto be big people now, especially when he stands on tables.

Just got a Trump robocall inviting me to his 3/28 visit to Michigan, boasting of all (12,000 of) those new manufacturing jobs

Might as well be October 2006, thirteen years ago.

No V-shaped recovery here, or anywhere, just another L-shape.

The first Democrat debate of Election 2020 ends with Kamala Harris skeet-shooting Klobuchar's binder thrown at Beto

"I have high expectations for this country, loser"

Joe Biden to Heidi Heitkamp at swearing-in in 2013: Drop your hands to your sides? Spread your legs, you're going to be frisked!


Despite all the new-found wealth, Joe really does remain just another vulgar mutt.

Run Joe, run!

Stupid Antifa marchers cheer in Austria when pranked by patriot counter-protesters who don't want to be replaced by Muslims

Rush Limbaugh doesn't know what he's talking about when he says there are more job openings than workers


A: Unemployment level: 6,235,000



A is the official unemployment level. To be counted in it you have to be counted in the labor force.

B is the number of people in addition to the unemployed who are unemployed but aren't counted as such because they are not in the labor force. These are the people unemployed longer than one year who say they still want a job when they are surveyed.

C is all the people of prime working age who aren't in the labor force and aren't counted as unemployed. Some of B are included in this number. This group averaged 21.3 million in both 2006 and 2007, before the shit hit the fan, and got as high as almost 24 million in 2015. It averaged 22.7 million last year. The data goes back only to 1982 but shows that in the 1980s and some of the 1990s that this group shrank during jobs recoveries just as it is shrinking now. There is lots of potential labor here sitting on the sidelines.

In any event, A + B means at least 11.5 million jobless with 7.6 million openings.

Advantage: employers.

P. S. I have seen the very same jobs with the very same companies advertized for years on end. How do they never get filled, hm?


Meanwhile John Podhoretz says Andrew Yang is anti-Semitic to be against circumcision

Not all Jews are disgusting like John Podhoretz.

My Jewish pediatrician had zero problem with leaving my son unshorn, and we enjoyed a wonderful relationship for many years, getting the best of care from him.

He was a mensch in more ways than this.

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be John Podhoretz.

Momentous political hubbub of the day: Andrew Yang accused of deleting circumcision tweets under pressure from Jews

Except Yang hasn't deleted them.

They are still there, today.

The anti-circumcision crowd is disappointed that Yang has clarified that he won't advocate outlawing the practice pure and simple, but that is hardly inconsistent with Yang's position that he's against circumcision.

Yang is a Christian of the Reformed tradition, apparently. His Pastor is Mark E. Mast of New Paltz, NY. It is a gay-friendly, environmentalist wacko church with female as well as male leadership, so not your granddad's Calvinism.
