Only the very best people!

Well now with the federal grant defunding pause those seniors won't need to worry about getting their meals since Trump and the Republicans are defunding Meals on Wheels. The party of pro life.

Donald Trump defunding meals on wheels. It doesn't get much lower than that.

So the Trump Administration and Republicans are defunding local city firefighters, paramedics, and police through taking away federal grants.

"Nice" to see Trump golfing while people are suffering in California through devastating wildfires and its after effects. People died, homes were destroyed, and he's out there like George Bush. Now watch me hit this drive.

Let's also remember that Trump's HHS Secretary doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. He thinks it is caused by gay people taking poppers and lifestyle choices. So no surprise they would do this with an Aids denier running things.

The Trump Administration doing this reminds me of the Catholic Church in Africa in the 1990s and 2000s. They made the HIV and Aids epidemic worse by refusing to promote and distribute condoms and promote safe sex. Trump is going to get people killed just as the Catholic Church did in Africa.

Trump only ever works from the golf course. He's too lazy to do real work.

Today marks both Holocaust Rememberence Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. We remember every human being who lost their life and the generations of families who were erased in a matter of years from history. The Holocaust atrocities, committed by the Nazi fascists, is recorded history's most brutal, barbaric, and inhumane act against human beings. The murder and genocide of over 11 million human beings by the Nazis is a wretched evil unlike almost anything else humanity has ever done. The barbarism and acts of cruelty carried out by one human being towards another is almost unfathomable. The depths of the dehumanization and degradation efforts by the Hitler and the Nazis towards Jews, French, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Russians, academics, intellectuals, activists, socialists, and other groups and ethnicities is heartbreaking and stunning. The Holocaust didn't happen over night. It was built up in society for years through many different avenues. Antisemitism, bigotry, branding, intolerance, xenophobic rhetoric, and more were all slowly used to change attitudes, cultural norms, and laws within German society. Dehumanizing these groups of people in the eyes of many German people and casting them as corrupt, dirty, evil, greedy, subhuman, worthless, and more by the Nazis all contributed to points in time that would lead us to the Holocaust. These should all be lessons of history to learn from, reflect on, and feel great shame about.

I was just specifically referencing Colombia due to the false perception that somehow Colombian migrants and undocumented immigrants weren't actually ever sent back there.

Unless I am reading this wrong, and reading the statistics from ICE wrong, it looks like the Obama and Biden Administrations carried out at least some deportation/repatriations of people back to Colombia. Given that Obama was once Deporter in Chief and Biden carried out as many or more deportations than both Obama and Trump, I would presume many of the 38,500 removals from the US back to Colombia occurred under Biden's watch. So this notion that Colombia never accepted people back, or Biden failed to get them to accept anyone back, seems not to be true. https://www.ice.gov/spotlight/statistics https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record

For a guy who was elected with a mandate to lower prices I sure haven't seen anything that will actually lower prices yet.

YAAAAAAAWN! Another Super Bowl for Kansas City. Is anyone looking forward to this at all?

First off, as I've said before I want these people to be paid fair market, livable wages. If you're worried about undocumented people affecting the cost of goods and services were they to be paid more, a living wage, are you saying you don't want any American citizens who take these jobs to be paid livable wages either? Furthermore, we already have an estimated labor shortage of 1.7 million workers. So if we deport an additional, estimated, 8.3 million undocumented workers on top of that we're at an estimated nearly 10 million worker shortage. How do we make up that deficit because there aren't enough American workers to make it up right now or seemingly in the future. So you don't want people to be paid at livable wages because of cost concerns, and you don't want undocumented people doing these jobs either at any wage because they came here illegally. So who exactly is going to fill these jobs? Someone has to, the need for them isn't just going to disappear. Do you want and/or expect American citizens to work below market value pay and do these jobs?

I have full confidence in Dan Campbell to make the right decisions with his staff. So if he thinks Sheppard is the best choice to get the promotion to DC I'm just fine with it. Sheppard knows the players and knows the system Glenn has run. I do hope they make a serious commitment to addressing the pass rush and getting better players that can put consistent pressure on the QB. I hope their answer isn't another oft-injured gamble like they took with Davenport.

Not a Nazi though.

An alleged alcoholic, an alleged domestic abuser, an alleged sexual predator who paid a women off for $50,000, and a guy who had to resign from a military-related charitable organization for alleged financial impropriety is what we need?

Questions for our Trump voting friends here about the economy and immigration. We know that many people on the right have said that "no one wants to work anymore." That was a common refrain post-Covid with all the labor shortages occurring. Currently, according to estimates from the Center for Migration Studies of New York and other groups/think tanks, there as many as 8.3 million undocumented immigrants work in the US economy. They make up an estimated 5.2% of the US workforce. In the agriculture, farm, and food processing industries undocumented immigrants make up nearly 40-44% of the workforce according to estimates from the USDA. Undocumented immigrants work in construction (est. 1.5 million), restaurants (est. 1 million), agriculture and farms (est. 320,000), groundskeeping/landscaping (est. 300,000), and food processing and manufacturing (est. 200,000), among many other occupations. Donald Trump has talked about engaging in the largest mass deportation effort in history and has talked about deporting millions of undocumented people. So if no one wants to work, and we have these labor shortages in the US workforce, how is mass deporting some 8.3 million workers, or 5% or so of the labor force, going to help improve the economy? How is deporting 40-44% going to lower costs on food prices at the grocery store or at restaurants? If 5% or so of our labor force is deported, who is going to fill those jobs in agriculture/farm/food processing, construction, groundskeeping/landscaping, hospitality, housekeeping, etc.? How long will it take for businesses, small and large, to backfill these roles? Who does these jobs in the meantime while they are waiting to hire prospective employees, onboard, and adequately train them?

BS list. Any list that doesn't include Dan Clearly, Todd Bertuzzi, or Mikael Samuelsson is incomplete. Datsyuk was traded away, Dan Cleary was resigned. You be the judge of who is the better player.

The party of family values and the moral majority of America just confirmed a man for Secretary of Defense that has multiple, documented allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault against him. Tell me about your values again please.

Trump is a lot like the callers on 97.1 who haven't the faintest clue what they are talking about but are so certain in their opinions. The callers that will ignore all stats and analytics in favor of the some opinion that they didn't put two seconds into actually researching. They will regale you with stories from the 68 or 84 Tigers and how great it all was back then and how much the game has changed for the worse.

I thought the right hated big tech and was mistrustful of it? It wasn't that long ago that the right was talking about tech as big brother and a real threat to freedom and speech. I guess since the right owns most of big tech now that it's all good.

CNN: Trump administration directs federal health agencies to pause communications They literally stopped the CDC from sharing updated information and communications on bird flu with medical providers and hospitals. Meanwhile, antivax HHS Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is out promoting raw milk and is looking to hire the CEO of a raw milk company in California who's company has been fined because they've found listeria, salmonella, and other contaminants in his raw milk and at his facilities. And oh by the way, bird flu is transmissible in raw milk because it remains unpasteurized. This is what the American people wanted though.
