Florida man arrested for threatening to assassinate Donald Trump.

Justin Blaxton called 911 demanding a ride to the airport so he could fly to DC to carry out his deranged fantasies.

He also said he’d blow up Trump tower in NYC, and that he wanted Donald Trump at his house, saying “tomorrow is his last day on Earth.”

Blaxton has a history of mental illness.

With Trump's reforms, maybe this man will get the padded room he needs instead of being robbed by big pharma and left out in public where he can be a menace to society.

Florida man pulls worst assassination attempt ever, asked to to go jail.
 
It needs to be stressed that connections are still the most valuable thing you can obtain in college, even in the rotting indoctrination camp form that we have today.
Though to be fair, I doubt that many people know which type of kids and professors that you would in to network with in order to make the most of where you plan to go in life.
This depends a lot on the type of program you’re in, too. The school I went to was very theoretical and I never did particularly well with my profs because I’m too practical in how I approach things. This made me a perfect fit for the company I work with now, who, coincidentally, had longstanding beef with my school.

Incidentally, for anyone who’s currently in school - adjunct professors who are still working in the field you want to go into are your absolute best resources. They’ll be able to tell you what the industry is like right now and what’s in demand, and they’re the ones you want on your resume when you’re looking for jobs.
 
Yeah it’s a way of telling where an American is from, just like having them identify a quarter pound of butter.

Now you are aware you are breathing, and that there is East coast and West coast butter.

Living in Texas I have the best of both worlds out here.
So really I think the whole current administration is doing everything in their power to bring all americas lost industry back. Problem is, in today’s world that isn’t something that I think can be done, and even if so definitely not over a single presidential term. And while we’re doing that it leaves the country vulnerable to a knife between the ribs. Also because of that I fully expect the current administration to fully uncap H1B visas as an incentive to bring industry back to the US, even if it fucks over the average American.
Not to be a blackpilled doomer but I do think things have been allowed to get so bad for so long that it is worse than I thought.
Seriously unless you're buying industrial equipment (and even then internally it's just shit CCP parts not even Taiwanese) good luck. off the top of my head the USA made stuff I regularly use are (not counting food items or shit like tires or how my car is technically made in Texas but owned by a multinational corp): my lodge cast iron (they're the only foundry left in the usa), a pair of usa made new balance, a hat from a small company, my wrangler jeans, my suits and a comb. Everything else is made in China, India, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia, Egypt, Japan, Korea or Bangladesh. And of quality Japan, Korea and some Mexican goods are worth buying.
Deindustrialization has really destroyed the US and we really had the idea of globalism take over US leadership. The sad part is there was an offramp after nafta we could have signed but our leaders in the 1990s insisted that the future would be everyone gets a cushy job in tech and nothing bad would happen.
 
I'm pretty sure they're a Cult of Personality revolving around Xinnie the Pooh these days...
Sure, but they also have all of these superstitions, like you’re not allowed to reference Xi having been born in the year of the snake because of bad luck and shit, and you have the problem of them poaching American brown bears because bear gallbladder is supposed to make their tiny dicks work or whatever
 
I can point out four things about Trump that I despise. His reliance on cryptocurrency being the future of commerce/investment, his clear bias towards Israel regarding their conflict against Palestine, preaching about abolishing America debt/deficit but doing nothing about student loan debt, and his administration pushing to pardon/release a known sex trafficker and woman abuser infamously known as Andrew Tate.
How are those two things related? One is about reducing the country’s abundant spending, resulting in either people paying less taxes or the government using that saved money on resources that people actually care about (or the absolute worse-case scenario: nothing changes), and the other is about people paying more taxes so college students don’t have to face the harsh reality of paying back a loan that they knowingly took. I’d be far more concerned if he did promote the idea of abolishing student loan debt.
 
oh noooo it's habbening. Newsom is lining up soundbites for 2028
His podcast is entirely designed to set up his 2028 run. But again, as I often say, he will never stand a chance. Californians fucking hate him, and the French Laundry stunt during the Covid lockdowns will destroy him on the national level when he actually starts to run. Every single opponent in the primaries will be able to turn to him and say “while you forced American citizens to stay at home while their families members died, you had a party at a packed 5 star restaurant where no one was socially distanced or wearing a mask.” He will be curbstomped faster than Kamala in 2019
