That "means mail delivery will be slower than in the 1970s," he said, calling DeJoy's plan "disastrous."
DHS secretary says 1 in 5 migrants have an 'illness' while releasing thousands into the US - TheBlaze
DHS secretary says 1 in 5 migrants have an 'illness' while releasing thousands into the US - TheBlaze:
In an admission that may boost claims that the Biden administration's border crisis is partly driving a COVID-19 surge in the U.S., Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged on Monday that approximately one out of every five migrants entering the country illegally have an "illness."
The DHS chief did not specify whether the illness he was referring to was COVID-19 during his speech at the virtual Immigration Law and Policy Conference. But he noted in his remarks that the rise of the COVID-19 Delta variant caught him off guard and that amid a pandemic, the U.S. immigration system is not capable of handling a rapid influx of migrants.

Whoopi Goldberg Lashes Out at LeBron James Over Vaccines - Louder With Crowder
Whoopi Goldberg Lashes Out at LeBron James Over Vaccines - Louder With Crowder:
Liberals and the media (but I repeat myself) were so busy smearing MAGA fans as anti-vaxxers, they just assumed non-Trump fans would fall in line. Instead, NBA players are either speaking out against or defending their teammates who do. Democrats oh so hate it when that happens.
Whoopi's message to LeBron James is crystal clear: Only use his platform if Whoopi agrees with how he's using it.

The way we were-----What Happened During the Final Hours of the Civil War
"On April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Ulysses S. Grant at Virginia's Appomattox Court House, effectively ending The Civil War.
During the final, decisive battles of the war, many men lost their lives as the Confederacy desperately tried to fight against the Union troops that overran them.
But on that fateful day in 1865, General Lee's surrender set the precedent for other massive surrenders that led to the official end of the war."
Dennis Prager Reads An Approved Script From Big Tech...#Shorts
"Big Tech doesn't want you to see this brand new mini-documentary. Watch it anyway."
"Literally nobody paid those top rates."
Michael Smith
"The hard left wants a return to the heydays of a rate of 90% of income taxation.
Literally nobody paid those top rates.
First, so few people ever achieved a level of income to trigger it and secondly, those who did were smart enough to find ways to shield that income and avoid those confiscatory tax rates.
A tax rate is and what is actually paid are two very different things.
There exists something called Hauser’s Law (not really a "law", per se - because if a government wanted to confiscate more income and wealth, they could use force to do so), which basically states there is a maximum threshold on how much the government can tax out of its population.
Hauser’s Law is based on a simple fact - that in pretty much every year since 1950, regardless of the tax rate, the government has collected between 17 to 20 percent of GDP in taxes.

New Trustees Report for Social Security Should Raise Alarm Bells
"...Based on the latest Social Security Trustees Report, the combined OASDI program will be insolvent by 2034, at which point there will be only enough incoming revenue to pay out 76% of scheduled payments.

Australia's Lockdown Is a Warning to America - American Consequences
Australia's Lockdown Is a Warning to America - American Consequences:
But in the era of COVID-19, it has turned into a cautionary tale of the limitless powers that governments can seize under the guise of protecting public health.
You won’t see a lot of headlines about it, but about half of Australia’s 25 million people are suffering under a severe, ongoing COVID lockdown. And unlike in the U.S., where “essential workers” and a host of other exceptions were allowed to go about their job despite a rapidly spreading virus in their communities, the Australian version of lockdown is much closer to prison, which the term is taken from.
