THERE’S SO MUCH FRAUD AND GRAFT OUT THERE I’LL BELIEVE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT:

There’s one obvious reason why the unions might be doing this. Massive social security fraud with fake employee dues flowing into union coffers – and being used for political contributions in the process. https://t.co/cPWgbrX8LW

Jerry, if allowing Jews to go to school without getting screamed at and harassed by antisemites is the MAGA agenda and something we oppose DEMOCRATS ARE FUCKED.

THINGS THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT DOESN’T WANT TO DO ARE ALWAYS IMPOSSIBLY HARD, EVEN IF THEY’RE NOT:

"Ghana deported over 3 million Nigerians and other African and non-African immigrants in 3 months."

If true, this makes deportations seem utterly trivial to do because they can be done on a huge scale by a country with extremely low state capacity. https://t.co/kYf8Y3tuhB

However, according to Grok, the number seems high: “Deporting 3 million would mean 20% of the population, which strains credibility for a country with limited state capacity at the time. More realistic estimates suggest 200,000 to 1 million were expelled, mostly Nigerians, over a few months. Data’s messy, but the scale was still massive for the era.”

By the way, when using X you can do what I did — if you’re unsure of a fact in a post, just reply to @grok and ask about it. In this case I just replied: “@grok is this number of deportations correct?”

HAVE SOME MEMES:  THE ODDS LOVE MEMES, BUT THE MEMES ARE ODD.

SPOILER: THEY WON’T BE SMALL. Why DOGE is and will remain popular, even if its cuts are small. But people also like that the people with no skin in the game are suddenly getting skint:

But probably the most frustrating argument I have heard against DOGE’s cuts is that government workers are losing their jobs. Of course, I feel for anyone who loses a job — it is a scary moment for anyone, causing huge upset for themselves and their families. But this isn’t new. Under President Obama, multiple regulations led to tens of thousands of job losses — people with no other training and who had been coal miners or worked in factories their entire lives lost their jobs with just a few days’ notice. Entire communities were devastated by Obama and Biden-era policies, and in some cases they were quite proud of it.

Indeed.
