Burritos And Tacos! 🌮 🌯

Sad jobs report.

Entering the month of August. Another chaotic month. As Congress officially adjourned for their Summer recess, many things still happen as well as President Donald J. Trump's duties continue. 

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

I want President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance to fail. I want Israel to fail. And fail they shall.

I am not ashamed to say this.

A civil war is coming.

World War III is here.

So the most dangerous thing in the United States is gun violence. Let's do the numbers.

How many (up to 3 deaths or injuries) shootings? 

8,680 shootings.

How many mass shootings?

300 mass shootings.

How many school shootings?

41 school shootings.

How many civilians killed by police?

710 people killed by police.

How many police officers killed by civilians, animals or nature?

50 members of law enforcement.

How many firefighters and first responders died in incidents?

124 members of firefighters and first responders.

Now this jobs report.

Of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the jobs report details how many jobs were spread across the United States. Some areas seen job growth while others saw job losses.

Trump pissed off MAGA by blocking the release of thr Epstein files.

Nonfarm payroll growth was slower than expected in July and the unemployment rate ticked higher, raising potential trouble signs for the U.S. labor market.

The chaotic cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency and tariffs will certainly be blamed. Also the impending results of the Big Beautiful Bill Act will definitely impact our country.

Job growth totaled 73,000 for the month, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meager Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000. June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels.

At the same time, the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, in line with the forecast.

The June total came down from the previously stated 147,000, while the May count fell to just 19,000, revised down by 125,000.

Stock market futures fell further after the news while Treasury yields also were sharply lower.

“This is a gamechanger jobs report,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “The labor market is deteriorating quickly.”

The weak jobs report, including the dramatic revisions, could provide incentive for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates when it next meets in September. Following the report, futures traders raised the odds of a cut at the meeting to 63%, up from 40% on Thursday.

“Today’s report adds weight to signs of a slow but persistent cooling trend. While the labor market is not in crisis, hiring momentum continues to soften, and pressures are beginning to build,” said Ger Doyle, North America regional president at Manpower Group.

There were few signs of strength in the July jobs count, with gains coming primarily from health care, a sector that has continued to show strength in the post-Covid recovery. The group added 55,000 jobs, easily leading the way. Social assistance also contributed 18,000 jobs.

However, federal government employment continued to decline, down 12,000 or the month and 84,000 since its January peak, before Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency began paring down the jobs rolls.

On wages, average hourly earnings increased 0.3%, meeting the estimate, though the yearly gain of 3.9% was slightly higher than expected.

The household survey, which is used to compile the unemployment rate, was even worse than the establishment survey of total payrolls gains. That showed a decline of 260,000 workers, with the participation rate edging down to 62.2%, the lowest since November 2022.

Texas flooding impacted over 300,000 residents.

A more encompassing unemployment indicator that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time positions for economic reasons rose to 7.9%, its highest since March.

President Donald J. Trump is down in the polls. His most staunchest supporters hate the fact he slow walked the release of the Epstein files. He is returning to his old playbook of deflection. So far, James Comey, Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, South Park, Zohran Mamdani, Omar Fateh, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Jack Smith are targets of Trump’s fury.

Besides the jobs report comes the things that happened during July.

  • July 1

    • Israel is having some problems. Iran, worldwide boycotts, Israelis being denied entry into countries, active IDF soliders being detained or arrested in ICC supported countries, instability, wildfires, protests and soliders losing trust in their government. We are seeing the collapse coming.

    Former vice president Kamala Harris talks about her failed campaign to Stephen Colbert. CBS cancelled Colbert and The Late Show. It is officially the final season.

    France and 14 other Western nations called on countries worldwide to move to recognize a Palestinian state, France's top diplomat said Wednesday.

    Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Christianity, Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue. You can freely criticize Israel, Jews, Trump, Vance, Biden, Harris, Benjamin Netanyahu, AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

    Racism unfortunately is protected speech.

    Antisemitism is protected speech.

    Being a bigot is a choice which allows some people to "other" those who do not agree with the status quo of how America is ran. 

    Trump is against DEI. The president supports banning DEI when it supports people of color, those in LGBTQ community and immigrants. Every other religion that isn't Christian, Catholic or Jewish is DEI and it has to go.

    The U.S. violated the USMCA by imposing tariffs on its trading partners. Mexico and Canada have vowed to impose their series of tariffs. BRICS is courting Mexico to join the organization.

    The world is losing patience with the U.S. and Israel. Many countries are moving away from the U.S. dollar.

    Israelis are being banned from entry in several Global South countries.

    Countries that deny entry to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, The United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. 

    More countries are considering to ban Israelis. The only country that wants to keep Israelis coming in without any problems is the United States.

    Powerful earthquake in Russia sparked a major tsunami in Hawai'i.

    Trump despite winning the election is still telling Americans that if he doesn't win, there will be all out war. He has already sparked global tension with threats of tariffs on our trading partners.

    Republicans can't govern in the House of Representatives and Senate. They are pushing authoritarianism in states they have control of. They are banning swatting, honing and regulations on testing. But when it comes to people being killed by firearms, they refuse to do something. Even with the Big Beautiful Bill on cusp of being passed, Republicans still sabotage themselves and Trump. The bill itself is a disgrace that could impact millions of working class Americans, the poor, the needy, transgender Americans, professional gamblers, the adult entertainment industry and so many others. 

    Republicans don't care because of course, y'all voted for this.

    Republicans are using dog whistles when talking about Blacks, immigrants, transgender Americans, Israel, crime, protesters and gun violence.

    1. Hamas are terrorists to Israel and the United States. Those who support Hamas or defend their actions are labeled terrorist sympathizers, antisemitic, traitors, unpatriotic, radicals or whatever they conjure up.

    2. Gun violence is the No. 1 threat to children and adults. When gun violence happen in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Detroit and Baltimore, a Republican lawmaker wants to blame gun violence on Democratic mayors instead of the Congress. Over 60 mass shootings this year alone.

    3. Immigration is right now at record lows. The world views the U.S. as a hostile country and migrants from the Global South are beginning to ban American influence. They fear Trump's presidency could cause instability. Republicans are pushing for border closures, border/segregation walls, mass deportations, elimination of birthright citizenship, end of legal rights to Americans married to immigrants and push for English only. They also want to ban immigrants or student visas. They want to jail or deport any immigrant who protest Israel or Trump.

    4. Crime is at record lows. But property theft is up. Shoplifting, the Kia/Hyundai challenge, gun violence, white collar crimes and cybertheft have occurred. But again its racial dog whistles. Many corporations are getting away with greed and theft of wages. Many Americans are tired of paying more for less product. Kia and Hyundai are still facing criticism over this Kia Boyz nonsense. Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wexman are on their last legs. Walmart, Target and Kroger are closing stores in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Republicans are pushing for more mandatory sentences for theft. Democrats want to push for regulations on shrinkflation and theft of wages. Republicans oppose overtime and regulations to keep corporations from raising product prices.

    Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner died in an accidental drowning.

    Republicans want political revenge. Trump wants to jail his rivals. He may get that wish now that he has returned to power. This is not a joke. 

    Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing up shop. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.

    Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford rent or car payments.

    AIPAC has poured money into many of these primaries. It openly bragged that its choices which were Democrats and Republicans beating their challengers.

    House members passed a bill to define antisemitism in attempt to suppress freedom of speech. The insufferable House of Representatives in a bipartisan moment are trying to criminalize thought and dissent.

    They are now trying to outlaw any criticism of Israel as hate speech which could be punishable by sanctions, divestment or allowing companies to terminate employment of anyone who dares criticizes Israel.

    Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

    The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more 50 hours a week while 157 House members and 36 senators work on average of 25 hours a week.

    Ozzy Osbourne performed his last Black Sabbath concert in England before passing away from Parkinson's Disease.

    Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the media, Democrats and former Republicans. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

    To make this clear, it doesn't matter anymore who the fucking president is. 

    The status quo continues with political charades, support of Israel and endless culture war grievances.

    Trump will be inheriting a stable economy but a very divided country.

    I will hold Trump accountable for his actions.

    I. Am. Calling. Him. Out. 

    What pisses me off is our lawmakers are calling protesters "Hamas supporters" to paint peaceful protests as an act of "terrorism." Their reactionary response to anger over America's support of Israel will lead to our standing with the world. 

    With billions of dollars of aid going to Israel, you would think that American lawmakers would have our taxpayer money spent on more useful things!

    The lawmakers will spend more taxpayer money to fix our crumbling infrastructure. Hell we still have the aftermaths of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Over 1,500 people have died from those horrible hurricanes.
    Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an illegal act of genocide. Same with Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.

    Monthly reminders: 

    A deadly disease doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.

    An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

    You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

    Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life, it may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With unions being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices, supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials; you could lose your job.

    Real Reasons To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is! The main reasons why some are not working.

    1. DEAD
    2. BORN
    3. IN PRISON
    4. IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
    5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
    6. IN HIGH SCHOOL
    7. IN COLLEGE FULL TIME
    8. VOLUNTEER
    9. DISABLED
    10. INFLATION
    11. STAY AT HOME PARENT
    12. LACK OF TRANSPORTATION OR BABYSITTING

    23. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON JOB POSTING BUT DECEPTION UPON HIRING
    24. BEING LAID OFF DUE TO CLOSING OR STAFF REDUCTION
    25. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY OR PROPRETY
    26. OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES

    28. BEING PUBLICLY OUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING SHAMEFUL ACTS
    29. PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS
    30. PUBLICLY SUPPORTING OR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAEL

    Companies are cautious about hiring employees. Because of the Trump administration rolling back DEI and arresting undocumented workers, employers are struggling to keep employees. It puts more on the workers, managers and suppliers. 

    With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to work at jobs that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.

    Republicans will never get it. They just won't see the bigger picture itself. Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are frustrated with stagnant wages. 
    Hulk Hogan, a controversial wrestler and public figure dies.

    They are tired of low wages for heavy workloads. They are tried of food and consumer products being expensive. 

    Republicans rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people using the safety net are lazy and unemployment assistance is way to make people not go back to work.

    Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

    We can't always assume that folks who do not work are lazy. These troupes give Republicans the opportunity to strip away the safety net to offset their endless giveaways to the elite and wealthy.

    People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, monkeypox, measles, bird flu and gun violence.

    Most Americans are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

    Many single parents are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic and unforseen circumstances due to Trump’s chaotic policies. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

    Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

    Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

    Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent.

    Their leadership has killed millions of Americans. 

    Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

    We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

    Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

    Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

    Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

    Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

    Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

    Netanyahu is doomed.

    Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

    The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well. 

    Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend's social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline's website or the Crisis Text Line's website.

    The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

    The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

    Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

    We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
