Dixcus said...: So far this year, 2024, the US has given:

* $24 billion to Ukraine
* $11.3 billion to Israel
* $1.9 billion to Ethiopia
* $1.6 billion to Jordan
* $1.4 billion to Egypt
* $1.1 billion to Afghanistan (and $20 billion in tanks, etc.)
* $1 billion to Yemen
* A total 2024 foreign aid budget of $63 billion.
* $9,000 and a free ObamaPhone per illegal immigrant entering the US

And FEMA says there is no more money for Florida, George, North Carolina and South Carolina hurricane victims. Otherwise known as "American citizens."

These people need to be put up against a wall.; 10/3/24, 8:03 PM

Dixcus said...: They have "preferred vendors" i.e. corporate cronies who make billions supplying water and goods during mass hurricane events. They're threatening arrest of ANYONE trying to send in goods or provide helicopter support.

FAA has created temporary flight restrictions keeping ALL private aircraft and drones from taking videos of the destruction that's being ignored by the Kamala Harris Administration and several helicopter pilots have reported arrest threats by officials on the ground.

It's a national nightmare and the Democrats are trying to make a buck off people's misery.; 10/3/24, 8:30 PM
Dixcus said...: DO NOT GIVE to the Red Cross. They do fundraisers on EVERY single national weather event like this, but most of the money STAYS in Washington DC where the Red Cross has a billion-dollar headquarters. They are not legally required to spend one penny of your donation on the hurricane victims.; 10/3/24, 8:31 PM

OMG. Where is this online Big Mike?; 10/4/24, 3:02 AM
Dixcus said...: Here is the FAA TFR (Termporary Flight Restriction) over most of the area in North and South Carolina which prohibits aircraft and drones from flying in this airspace:

https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_4243.html

The effect of this TFR is to PROHIBIT any aircraft operations by US citizens in this area. If you fly into this area, you will lose your pilot's license. Even if you are flying in this area to save a life or prevent the death of people or flying in foods to people stranded because of washed out roads due to Hurricane Helene.

Homeland Security will shoot down any drone flying in this area, according to the TFA Notem.; 10/4/24, 3:57 AM

Not surprising since containerless ports allow time to implement automation - more cranes and driverless trucks shuttling goods from container ships, with fewer humans around. Automation at Long Beach and L.A. eliminated 572 jobs in 2021 and 2022 and AI could eliminate clerical functions in todays world.; 10/4/24, 5:57 AM

Why? It was largely due to a lot of people (430,000) landing new jobs. There was also a decrease in the number of unemployed.

But Trump said the country was destroyed???

1) Most of the full time private sector jobs, lower than expected, went to immigrants and not US citizens
2) Large percentage of "jobs" in the report are government jobs, which continues crushing taxpayers that are already suffering
3) Significant percent of private sector jobs were part time and not high paying nor with other benefits
4) Almost every monthly jobs report issued since the New Soviet Democraticals came to power has been significantly reduced and revised downward in following months....this report will be no different.

"New data shows US job growth has been far weaker than initially reported

"CNN
—
US job growth during much of the past year was significantly weaker than initially estimated, according to new data released Wednesday.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ preliminary annual benchmark review of employment data suggests that there were 818,000 fewer jobs in March of this year than were initially reported.

MadTownGuy said...: Dozens of Meat Processing Plants Expected to Shut Down Under New EPA Rules

Excerpt:

"Next year could see still higher meat and poultry prices at the grocery store, analysts say. That’s because an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal is expected to put some meat processors out of business, resulting in potential job losses and supply chain disruptions.

The EPA announced a proposed rule change governing effluent, or wastewater, limits for meat and poultry processors in January of this year, followed by public comment in the spring.
The agency’s final rule will go into effect in August 2025."

MadTownGuy said...: Dominican Republic Plans to Start Deporting up to 10,000 Haitians per Week

"Government officials of the Dominican Republic have announced plans to start deporting Haitians living illegally in the country, potentially expelling up to 10,000 or more per week.

In Oct. 2 statements, government spokesman Homero Figueroa said the decision was based on the large number of Haitian migrants living illegally in the Dominican Republic. Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located on the same island, Hispaniola.

“This operation aims to reduce the excessive migrant populations detected in Dominican communities,” he said.

According to Figueroa, the deportations would start immediately and have a strict focus on ensuring “respect for human rights.”

In the past, activists and observers have criticized the administration of current Dominican President Luis Abinader for alleged human rights violations against Haitians and those of Haitian descent born in the country. Abinader and his administration have denied any wrongdoing. He said in previous speeches at the United Nations that his country is bearing the downstream burdens of the humanitarian crisis in Haiti without much help from the rest of the world.
Figueroa said authorities are also planning to strengthen border surveillance and border entry point security. He did not share specific details about what that might include.

According to Figueroa, the decision to start mass expulsions of Haitians is a result of the international community’s “slowness” in restoring stability in Haiti.

He said Dominican Republic government officials had noted a large increase in Haitian migrants as the U.N. Security Council’s Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti has yet to restore order.

Haiti declared a state of emergency on March 3 as instances of home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults, and murder increased beyond what local police could handle. The U.N. said in a June report that gang violence in Haiti had reached “alarming levels.”"; 10/4/24, 2:05 PM
