People are leaving America, not just New York! I know two people who live here in upstate NY who have purchased homes in Europe. One is moving to Frankfurt and the other to London. And that's just me. I have to wonder how many Americans are leaving the country as they watch the riff-raff take over.

Once this election is over, and the left get whatever votes they think they're going to get from opening our border up, everyone will be left with having to deal with these 12 million (and more by the end of Biden's term) illegals, drug dealers, sex offenders, prisoners and most likely terrorists who have been streaming across our border by the millions! (And who will be bringing their extended families along with them...)

These people are going to get desperate when their enticement money runs out...and WE will be left to have to deal with it. Biden certainly doesn't care about it! He knows he's going to lose and will be leaving his messes for Trump to clean up.

..

It's already in full force against the "little man"....just look at the censorship here, on Fake Book and most "news" medias. and talk shows. How many people were actually arrested and sentenced during the summers of rioting, killing and burning but they arrest a grandmother who was invited into the capitol on J-6, peacefully walked about for about 10 min, prayed with some capitol police and left....and SHE could go to jail. BIG BROTHER is alive and flourishing in America TODAY!!!

UK Poll: Only 24 Percent of Muslims Believe Hamas Committed Rape, Murder on Oct. 7
British Muslims aged 18-34 are largely in denial that the Hamas terrorists committed the murder and rape atrocities in Israel of Oct. 7, 2023, if not outright backers of the terrorists and espousing antisemitic views.

Just 24% of British Muslims 18-34 say the Hamas terrorists murdered and raped Israelis during the attack – including just 19% of women among them – and J.L. Partners' latest polling points to radical Islamic views in the United Kingdom if not antisemitism among those younger voting-age Muslims.

The younger generation of the expanding Muslim community in the U.K. points to a generational shift of the U.K. population, electorate, and potentially the political authority of Great Britain.

Alarmingly, just 24% say Israel has a right to exist, pointing to potential genocidal views among the young U.K. Muslim community.

And a majority of 53% U.K. young Muslims sympathize with the Hamas terrorists rather than Israel amid the war. Just 24% have a negative view of the Hamas terrorist group.

Other alarming findings:

A majority 52% of young U.K. Muslims say the BBC is biased toward Israel versus Hamas terrorists.
And that same 52% majority says Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack was intended to further the anti-Israel cause.
The U.K. Muslim college graduates are even more radical in their terrorist ideology, as 62% say Oct. 7 terrorism was because Hamas wanted to forward the anti-Israel cause.

On the electorate, the young Muslims are overwhelmingly Labour Party voters (61%), compared to just 12% conservative. Having a large sway over the young Muslim vote could help turn the U.K. political policymakers to their agenda.

J.L. Partners and Number Cruncher polled a nationally representative sample of 1,000 British Muslims from Feb. 14-March 12 and a nationally representative sample of 2,013 in the general public March 4-6. The margins of error were plus or minus 3.1 percentage points for Muslims and plus or minus 2.1 percentage points for the general.

You are beginning to sound discouraged. I still agree with what George Corley Wallace said in 1968, “There is not a nickels worth of difference between a Democrat and a Republican.” I cannot show what anyone will call hard facts but under Biden’s Presidency I see that China after two centuries of European dominance there is finally returning to a leadership roll again. The history of China is one of leadership and stagnation repeated again and again over the centuries. A fact that China does not meet with American leaders who go but are able to only meet with second tier leaders should sort of tell us that a rising world power does not have high regard for America. The coalescence of the new BRICS union at this point in history will hopefully not affect your life or my life but will affect the lives of our children and grandchildren. The US is going to have to learn to live as a team player, not the bully on the block who is able to coerce the other players to follow his rules. Biden is President as this coalition grows faster and he as the office holder will bear the blame in the history books. Biden is at a point that firefighter on a line face when the embers cross the line and begin spot fires and they are so engaged in stomping on the spot fires they neglect to see the fire jump the line and burn on. For the life of me I cannot see why either Biden or Trump or anyone else wants to be President under these conditions.
They or anyone else are in the position of Priam, Leonidas, the Vikings abandoned on Greenland or any of the others of history at the fall of empire.

Happier note. Anyone who gets to see one of those cats is lucky but one who sees one on the doorstep is twice blessed.

Do not sweat it, Lily this is OPP and it is what we do... and yesterday is history and yesterday is gone.. we simply move on and do not dwell on past words...

As for the jobs report, one last on the stats.

On a year-over-year (YoY) basis, inflation rose by a stronger-than-expected 3.5% in March, an uptick from the 3.2% YoY rise in February.
The YoY uptick, coupled with March's strong employment report, suggests the path to the Fed's 2% inflation target could take longer than expected

Mortgage rates rise after disappointing March inflation report
Mortgage rates drifted higher this week, and could increase further, in a sign that America’s affordability crisis isn’t letting up.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.88% in the week ending April 11, up from 6.82% the previous week, according to Freddie Mac data released Thursday.
A year ago, the average 30-year fixed rate was 6.27%.

US stocks plummeted on Wednesday as markets took in a hotter-than-expected inflation report and the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes, causing traders to push back on their expectations for Fed rate cuts this year.
All three benchmark indexes ended the trading session lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding over 400 points. Bond yields soared, with the 10-year US Treasury spiking 18 basis points to 4.546%.
Inflation rose 3.5% on an annual basis in March, slightly hotter than the 3.4% increase economists were expecting. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, grew 3.8% year-per-year, hotter than the expected 3.7% increase.
Inflation has come in higher than expected for the past three months, which has undercut investors' expectations for Fed rate cuts this year. Odds of a June rate cut have fallen to 16%, according to the CME FedWatch tool, down from 56% odds priced in on Tuesday.
Bank of America maintained its outlook for a June rate cut but said it had "low confidence," given the latest CPI data. Barclays revised its outlook to just one 25 basis-point rate cut later this year, down from its initial forecast of one rate cut every other month. Goldman Sachs said it was adjusting its view to two cuts from three, as insurance costs keep inflation running hot.
"The Federal Reserve will have to wait even longer for evidence confirming that gains in fighting price pressures are durable before it turns accommodative," José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, said in a statement. "Today's report reflects that progress on inflation has reversed, with goods and commodities turning from a disinflationary friend to an inflationary foe."
As of last month's policy meeting, Fed officials were still projecting three rate cuts to come in 2024. But newly released minutes of the Fed's March policy meeting show that central bankers remain cautious on the recent uptrend in inflation.

Officials commented on "disappointing" inflation readings over the past several months, adding they "did not expect it would be appropriate" to lower rates until there was greater confidence inflation was back on track to reach 2%, the minutes said.
"The Fed always puts more weight on backward-looking data, and this Fed, in particular, is still scarred by the 'transitory' inflation fiasco," Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist of Pantheon Macroeconomics said in a note on Wednesday.
"The risk that the Fed waits too long and moves too slowly is rising."

It is a 2 tiered justice system for sure. If any one of us had did one of the things Trump has been charged with we would be in prison awaiting trial and if we spoke about judges and witnesses like Trump does we would be in jail and they would have thrown away the key.

The man brought everyone of these charges on himself. I told my husband before Trump was President that it would be the dumbest thing he could have done. Now they will go through his Financials with a fine tooth comb. Anyone with half a brain would no that and that the man has been a criminal his entire life.
