    Speaking of Democrat weakness, here’s the dumbfuck mayor of Orange County, FL, just four days ago:

    Orange County Mayor says he won’t be “bullied” by Florida AG into signing updated ICE agreement
    Attorney General Uthmeier warned Mayor Demings and the commissioners the governor could remove them for not signing thetransportation addendum to county jail’s 287(g) agreement

    And here’s the same dumbfuck the very next day:

    Florida mayor shares startling explanation for his collaboration with ICE
    Jerry Demings said an agreement to collaborate with Trump’s anti-immigrant crackdown was signed “under protest and in extreme duress.”

    He’s the husband of Val Demings, last seen blowing up her career by running way too far to the left in 2022 so that she could lose very badly to Marco Rubio.

    The answer to this is more cold, boxcheck and hunter’s dick pics:

    Kill the messenger. After a weak July employment report, President Donald Trump Friday added the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the ranks of the unemployed.

    But the softer jobs numbers aren’t a portent of recession. Instead, they signal the onset of stagflation—the result not of the Federal Reserve’s interest rates but the Trump administration’s tariff policies. The uncertainty after “Liberation Day” in April has been followed by a sharp slowdown in hiring.

    To counter the squeeze on profit margins, he sees more companies, such as Procter & Gamble, pushing up prices. P&G said in its earnings call this past week that it looked to hike prices on about 25% of its ubiquitous household products.

    The cost pressures are evident in a $30 billion drop in corporate tax revenue, writes Joseph Carson, former chief economist of AllianceBernstein, in an email. While the federal government may be garnering extra revenue from tariffs, U.S. firms are covering the cost, resulting in lower tax payments.

    Sri-Kumar says that the weak jobs growth as a reaction to the price pressures isn’t the Fed’s fault. “It wasn’t Powell who imposed the tariffs,” he said.

    Pants shitter babbles that the woke, woke, woke, woke banks view klownservatics and crypto scammers as poor credit risks:

    When asked about The Wall Street Journal’s report on the draft order in a CNBC interview Tuesday, President Trump recounted his own experiences being dropped as a bank customer, including at JPMorgan Chase.

    “The banks discriminated against me very badly, and I was very good to the banks,” Trump said.

    Conservatives for years have accused banks of denying them services on political or religious grounds, and cryptocurrency companies have said they were shut out of banking services under the Biden administration.

    Banks, for their part, have said their decisions are driven by legal, regulatory or financial risks, including those stemming from the U.S.’s anti-money-laundering laws. They have blamed regulatory pressure for prior decisions to largely steer clear of the crypto industry.

    It is fortuitous, is it not, that upthread there has been interest in trafficking of minor children and sex with children.

    Because in her interviews last week Ghislaine gave up Bill Clinton.

    Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred from a federal prison facility in Tallahassee, Florida, to the Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, her attorney confirmed to Fox News Digital. …

    Maxwell’s new life behind bars comes with an upgrade, with the FPC Bryan location serving as a minimum-security prison that also houses Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and celebrity housewife Jen Shah. The prison has roughly 600 female inmates and is primarily home to non-violent offenders convicted of white collar crimes.

    “Maxwell now has a dorm-style housing situation, rather than a cell,” Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach County State Attorney, told Fox News Digital. “The new facility will have a lower staff-to-inmate ratio, and will either have a very limited fence or no fence at all.”

    Yesterday House Oversight subpoenaed the Clinton Power Couple.

    NASA spent $700 million over several years designing and developing a weather satellite that tracks, among other things, the levels of CO2 in Earth atmosphere, the moisture saturation of the planet and zones where Atlantic storms tend to originate. That last one is for Hurricane damage mitigation. NASA put similar instruments onto the ISS. The data is not only used to predict weather but has also been used by University Ag research with discoveries about exactly what effect atmospheric gasses have on specific crops and how to increase yields by dedicating specific areas to the crops best suited for the surrounding atmospheric conditions.

    Secretary Real World, probably at the demand of some other Trump Administration official because Duffy isn’t smart enough to understand a Cathy Comic let alone a scientific grant authorization, ordered the ISS to turn off the devices and is seriously considering putting the satellite into a declining orbit to burn up in the atmosphere.

    47,
    This will please you then.

    By the end of June, 23% of all ICE arrests were arrests on the streets, with no warrant, targeting people with no criminal history or removal orders–90% of them Latin Americans. The data show staggering numbers of arrests of “other immigration violators” (no convictions or charges) who have no removal order AND who were arrested in “general” or “non-specific” areas, that is, on the streets, identified by appearance alone in general public areas and swept up because of how they looked – which is brown. That’s 23% out of 109,000, or over 25,000 people arrested by ICE for being non-white.

    For everyone else, that is against the law.

    As this continues it will ultimately become incumbent upon local police to enforce that law. I don’t know about y’all. But in a head to head between most local police and ICE Fat Asses, my money is on the local PD.
