'Not what you’ve come to expect from Judge Merchan'

When the stock market crashed on October 29, 1929 (otherwise known as Black Tuesday), it marked the beginning of the longest and most severe worldwide depression of the modern age. After the crash, both the rich and the poor were affected thanks to a massive drop in tax revenue, personal income, profits, prices, and more. With unemployment dipping to 33%, many families struggled to survive with no... Source

Jeff Walz, the estranged brother of Minnesota Democratic Governor and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, made headlines recently by speaking out against his brother and saying he’s voting for former President Trump. Well, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View had some thoughts about him during Friday’s episode; particularly that he’s “dumb as Hell” and needs to shut his mouth and “mind [his] own damn business!” Speaking about attacking family members who support Trump, fake Republican Ana Navarro proclaimed: “Well, I do think we should call them names.” “I think Tim Walz's brother is dumb as hell,” she added. The biggest reason Navarro thought Jeff was “dumb as hell” was because “he's going to miss a lot of good parties [in the vice presidential mansion] if he's estranged from his brother.” It’s worth pointing out that Navarro ingratiates herself with the wielders of power in America. She’s bragged on the show about introducing her “wealthy clients” to allegedly corrupt Democratic Senator Bob Menendez and about attending swanky D.C. parties. Speaking about bragging about who she rubs shoulders with, Navarro proceeded to gloat about weaseling her way into the Walz family VIP box at the Democratic National Convention: But, you know, I was actually -- I spent a lot of time with the Walz’s at the DNC. I like, crashed their friend and family suite that -- because I couldn't find a seat somewhere else. And I saw him, you know, there were extended family was there, his wife, his daughter, his son, Gus.     Navarro raged about how “the right-wing and Trump supporters” were circulating a viral image of a branch of the Walz family sporting Trump 2024 shirts. “Donald Trump can't even get his own wife to show up to campaign for him!” she shrieked at them, “Sit this one out, Trumpers! You got a glass ceiling!” The View has played host to Trump family haters like his sister Mary and his nephew Fred, but she swung them around as if the media hadn’t already used them as a cudgel for years already. “So, I would say, if you want to talk about families, we can talk about Mary Trump, we can talk about, you know, a lot of different Trumps,” she huffed. Speaking as an only child, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) said she was “disturbed” by Jeff speaking out and lashed out by demanding he “mind your own damn business, then!” “If you don't agree with Tim Walz, you don't agree with your brother, keep it to yourself!” she shouted. But Jeff is an American citizen and was using his First Amendment right to comment on a candidate for an American political office. It is his business. Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin implored her fellow cast members not to insult Trump supporters. “I have family who are die-hard Trump supporters. I have family who are die-hard Harris supporters. And I have friends on both of those,” she said. “And this is why I say we shouldn't demean Trump supporters. We shouldn't call them names. We shouldn’t call them cultists or ignorant.” “No. Of course, not,” Friday moderator Joy Behar agreed before almost immediately adding: “They have issues. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View September 6, 2024 11:17:30 a.m. Eastern (…) JOY BEHAR: You have siblings, you said. SARA HAINES: I have siblings, I have parents [who support former President Trump]. BEHAR: Would any of them go public and trash you like this guy? HAINES: No, but they’re [Tim Walz and Jeff Walz] estranged for years. My family is very close. If you have the right family – and I respect the mom for also saying, ‘I not going to get in between.’ BEHAR: Of course. HAINES: Cause it's not just political. It’s deeper than that. ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: This is honestly very relatable, I think, especially in the Trump era because the country is very polarized. I have family who are die-hard Trump supporters. I have family who are die-hard Harris supporters. And I have friends on both of those. And this is why I say we shouldn't demean Trump supporters. We shouldn't call them names. BEHAR: No. Of course, not. FARAH GRIFFIN: We shouldn’t call them cultists or ignorant. BEHAR: They have issues. FARAH GRIFFIN: Because we all have them in our lives. [Laughter] BEHAR: They do! FARAH GRIFFIN: But we all have them in our lives and we love them. And you know how you reach them? Because I do – I engage. And I don't do it trying to tell them they're wrong. I tell them my experience, why I am going a certain way, and meet them where they are. And if they don’t change, it’s not going to change my relationship with them. ANA NAVARRO: Well, I do think we should call them names and I think Donald Trump’s --  I think [Applause] I think Tim Walz's brother is dumb as hell. Cause if he gets into that vice presidential mansion he's going to miss a lot of good parties if he's estranged from his brother. But, you know, I was actually -- I spent a lot of time with the Walz’s at the DNC. I like, crashed their friend and family suite that -- because I couldn't find a seat somewhere else. And I saw him, you know, there were extended family was there, his wife, his daughter, his son, Gus. This was in the midst of when he had gotten attacked when his son was attacked for showing the love and pride for his dad. And what I do think, though, is, you know, this week the right-wing and Trump supporters have been putting out this picture of Tim Walz's like second, third distances cousins that are Trump supporters. Trump needs to sit this one out, because, like I met Doug Emhoff's ex-wife at the DNC who was campaigning for Kamala Harris. Donald Trump can't even get his own wife to show up to campaign for him! [Applause] You know, I met Tim Walz's daughter, Hope, at the DNC. Ivanka Trump showed up for like an hour at the RNC and looked rather uncomfortable. So, I would say, if you want to talk about families, we can talk about Mary Trump, we can talk about, you know, a lot of different Trumps. SUNNY HOSTIN: Fred Trump. NAVARRO: Sit this one out, Trumpers! You got a glass ceiling! HOSTIN: I think I’m – Well, I'm an only child, so I don't have any siblings. So, I may not understand this, but I do have two children; and always told them: if their last name is Hostin, you care. Because when I'm gone and your dad’s gone, you only have each other. And I'm really disturbed by the fact that these siblings, brothers, have not spoken to each other for eight years. And not only are they estranged, one is coming out against his brother who is running for the second highest office in the land and is saying, ‘I 100 percent fundamentally ideologically don't agree with him.’ That's fine, but as Tim Walz says, mind your own damn business, then! If you don't agree with Tim Walz, you don't agree with your brother, keep it to yourself! And keep those family dynamics to yourselves. (…)

CNN reported that the FBI had found evidence linked to the alleged Apalachee High School shooter that could explain his motivation. The report cited documents claiming that a Discord account was identified last year by the FBI as belonging to Colt Gray. According to CNN's summary of the posts, the account owner said that he was planning an attack on an elementary school and expressed "frustration with the acceptance of transgender people."'I cant kill myself yet, cause I’m not contributing anything to culture.' Police arrested Colt Gray after he allegedly went on a shooting spree that took the lives of two students and two teachers and injured another nine people on Wednesday. The Discord user also reportedly posted photographs of firearms and stated, “im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years [sic]." Another post allegedly read, “I cant kill myself yet, cause I’m not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did [sic].”The FBI referred the tip about the account to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, but deputies closed their investigation after concluding that the Discord user making the threats "could not be substantiated." A spokesperson for Discord confirmed to CNN that the company shut down the account "believed to be associated" with Gray last year for violating its terms against extremism. Gray's father was also arrested after investigators found that he allegedly gifted the gun used in the attack to his son even after officials warned about threats he made. Like Blaze News?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its jobs report for August on Friday, exposing the continuation of at least two troubling trends. Not only does it appear that the country is still shedding full-time jobs while adding part-time gigs, which usually lack the benefits many families rely upon, but hundreds of thousands of foreign-born workers are securing gainful employment while millions of native-born Americans are losing jobs. According the report, the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration added 142,000 nonfarm payroll jobs last month — roughly 20,000 short of what the economists polled by Reuters expected to see. The unemployment rate, 4.2%, and the number of unemployed people, 7.1 million, were both apparently higher this year than they were last year (3.8% and 6.3 million, respectively.) ZeroHedge, which has long documented the trend of what it calls the "great replacement" of American workers with imported workers, highlighted that "in the past month, the US has added 635K foreign-born workers, while losing 1.325 million native-born workers." The BLS defines the foreign born as "people who reside in the United States but who were not U.S. citizens at birth." This cohort includes legally admitted immigrants, refugees, temporary residents, and illegal aliens. According to the BLS, the foreign born accounted for 18.6% of the U.S. civilian labor force (i.e., those actively employed or looking for work) last year. In 2020, 17% of the labor force was foreign born. Former President Donald Trump characterized the jobs report as a "disaster." "They're really bad," Trump said Friday. "You had numbers that are shocking. Native-born Americans — we lost 1.3 million jobs, while foreign-born Americans were able to take all of those jobs. So, foreign is coming in — largely illegally — took the jobs of native-born Americans, and I've been telling you that's what's going to happen." 'This is why the border is open.' EJ Antoni, research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, noted on X that this is "part of the longer trend (last several years) where foreign-born have seen steady gains while native-born have gone backwards." In a separate post, Antoni indicated that "employment among foreign-born workers has increased 4.4 million since pre-pandemic (and is back on trend) while jobs among native-born Americans have fallen 833k over that same time — literally no progress in 5 years." U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said, "This disastrous report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows what Americans have known for years: illegal immigration drives down the wages and jobs of American citizens, pushing out struggling families." "Statistics show that all of the job growth Kamala Harris and Joe [Biden] claim to have created has not been for American citizens. It has entirely gone to illegal immigrants whom they have imported at great harm to our country," continued Lee. "It appears that the primary beneficiaries of the Biden-Harris economy are illegal aliens. The ones shouldering the burden of their suppressed wages, inflated cost of living, and migrant crime are the American people." Geiger Capital suggested, "This is why the border is open. They did it on purpose to support the labor market." The jobs report also indicated that around 438,000 full-time jobs were lost last month while 527,000 part-time jobs were added. ZeroHedge noted that means that the U.S. has added over 2 million part-time jobs since June while losing 1.5 million full-time jobs. According to the jobs report, the public has also been misled about how bleak job numbers have actually been in recent months. The June jobs report was revised down by 61,000 jobs, from +179,00 to +118,00. The total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised down 25,000, from +114,000 to +89,000. Accordingly, employment for those two months was actually 86,000 lower than previously reported. The Kobeissi Letter indicated that these revisions mean the July jobs report "was the WEAKEST jobs report since the pandemic in December 2020." Whereas Trump said the report was a "disaster," the Washington Post's Heather Long suggested it was a "solid jobs report," keeping alive the hopes that "a 'soft landing' is still very possible." "Yes, there were large downward revisions to June and July," said Long. "But you have to look at the full picture." Like Blaze News?
