That Dock Workers strike? Not over…Even the Media is just saying “Suspended”

Yeah, it really isn’t over, it is just held in abeyance until mid-January. Notice how carefully the media is wording this. They know the truth.

Can’t have that interrupt the elections, can we?

It will likely come back in January, as the pay raise was not the only issue, but also staffing levels and use of automation. Especially if Trump should beat the Margin of Cheat.

I wonder what pressure the DNC brought on the Union to find a way to temporarily stop the strike?

(personally, I think it would have been a good thing for the Strike to continue….let people see how much the US imports and especially how many of Santa’s elves have slanty eyes. )

Over Asheville NC

No non-cleared/unauthorized flights in a 30 mile radius of the airport from basically dawn to dusk *by NOTAM (instead of TFR).

I checked with Flight Service to see if it was true or not.

There was, apparently, a broader area  Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) but that was cancelled

There are no other restriction elsewhere in the areas affected by Helene as per Flight Service

Turns out, they spent a shitload of FEMA money on illegal aliens last year and this year. 

I fully expect to find that they also spent it in Ukraine as well, if someone bothers to look….

Ukraine and illegals first, US citizens are at the bottom of the list.

Also overheard:

Boy: “Dad, what’s the best way to calm my wife down when she is angry?”

“Chloroform, son, just a bit of chloroform”

They must really be afraid that Donald Trump is gonna win.

Now there are new “facts” being placed in evidence in the Jan 6th case against Trump.

They just won’t quit, will they?

I mean, at some point, there comes a case for a blanket party with axe handles and such, IYKWIM.

Can’t blame poverty or class or anything else. Stabber’s parent were pretty well off, and she enjoyed european vacations and other luxuries….

Just random black on white violent crime, I guess.

19 year old stabs classmate for no apparent reason. 

“Middle class pays more taxes that Billionaires do”

What a lie.

Percentage wise, this is likely true.

However:

In terms of dollars, Billionaires pay an order (or more) of magnitude more in taxes . The top 50% pay 80% or so of the tax dollars paid….the top 1% pays more than 25% of the total tax dollars that the Federal Government takes in.

Don’t believe me….look it up for yourself.

(Or start here)

How much is a “Fair Share”? Does a multi millionaire (of even higher) use more government than a poor person living in a trailer park?

The ads (again, for how many election cycles have they successfully sold the lie to some people?) claim that the Democrats are the champion of the working people…

“Trump wants to cut taxes just for Billionaires, Kamala will cut taxes for working people” Yet in all of my lifetime, I don’t think they have ever done that. Raised taxes? Yep. Cut them? Nope.

I have no affiliation with this company, except that I own their product.

Highly recommended, especially in today’s Arab/Israeli environment. You might need one sooner rather than later.

It’s funny, really, watching the media try to spin things.

No matter how you slice it, Vance looked much better than Walz.

And the moderators (again) failed to be impartial. They just couldn’t help themselves….they “Fact Checked” Vance, they all but led Walz on how he should respond,

At least they were civil.

Vance looked Presidential(ish)….Walz looked like the nice gentleman from next door who is a third vice president of a failing bank from the far side of town. Nice guy, but not a leader.

It’s funny how the media whores are still trying to spin the last presidential election….who won, who got the votes, etc. They keep trying and no-one believes what they say…in fact, their denials, their “Fact Checking”, is becoming a bit more shrill and pro forma, and it appears that even they don’t believe their words. No matter how many times they state that “Donald Trump Lost The Last Election” they just can’t make anyone with more than 2 working neurons believe it. Their continued denials reinforce the belief that he didn’t. And their continued attempts to deny the Hattian issue in Ohio has become comical at this point. ….they are getting ever more vehement about it, much like the last election, as if denying something even more harder will make it go away…..(It won’t).

I doubt that the VP debate changed many minds though. Those who were gonna vote Harris -Walz are not gonna stop making excuses for their candidates, and those voting Trump-Vance are secure in their choice.
