Joe’s handlers want to give him every opportunity to tell the veterans about his son Beau’s heroic death in Fallujah. This seems like a pointless waste of everyone’s time. Keep him in the Delaware basement until his “re-election.” Stop the charade of presidential leadership. This is disrespectful to the service of the veterans.

[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s State Department is partnering with hundreds of multinational corporations to open a jobs program for refugees arriving in the United States as the nation’s labor force participation rate remains at historical lows.
This week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a memorandum entering the agency into a partnership with the left-wing Tent Partnership for Refugees group, founded by Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya and representing more than 300 corporations, to fill U.S. jobs with newly arrived refugees.
“The Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration is pleased to announce a public-private partnership with the Tent Partnership for Refugees to support employment opportunities and economic integration for refugees and other forcibly displaced people around the world,” the announcement states:
This partnership seeks to mobilize U.S. and international businesses and corporations to connect refugees to work opportunities – a critical pathway to the long-term economic and social resilience of both refugees themselves and the communities which host them. [Emphasis added]
Ulukaya’s Tent Partnership for Refugees includes corporations such as Accenture, Adidas, American Express, Amazon, AT&T, Deloitte, General Electric, IBM, Microsoft, Tata Consulting Services, and Visa, among others, that routinely outsource American jobs to low-wage foreign countries
Earlier this year, a group of House Republicans noted that the federal government’s refugee resettlement program funnels tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars annually to nine contractors.
These contractors’ annual budgets rely on the federal government resettling as many refugees in American towns and cities as possible — giving them a major financial stake in the process.
The jobs program for refugees comes as roughly 11.6 million Americans remain jobless, all of whom want full-time employment, and another few million are underemployed, stuck in part-time work but hoping to land full-time jobs.
Washington, DC, has responded with silence to the nation’s growing labor force participation crisis, as possibly 100 million working-age Americans are sitting on the workforce sidelines.
In particular, as Breitbart News has noted, American men are dropping out of the workforce at an alarming rate as wages have remained stagnant in working class jobs and in many cases, have fallen.
At the same time, the Biden administration is hoping to increase the number of refugees arriving annually in the United States. Next year, Biden hopes to import some 125,000 refugees.
Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to research, and each refugee costs taxpayers about $133,000 over the course of their lifetime. Within five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers.

[MAIL] A new trove of internal communications from Twitter suggests that the FBI maintained persistent contact with company employees in recent years, frequently proposing user bans, including for strident Trump critic and actor Billy Baldwin, and what appear to be satire accounts.
'Twitter's contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary,' argued journalist Matt Taibbi, who shared the documents in a Twitter thread on Friday afternoon.
FBI officials, meeting with Twitter executives, told them there was 'no impediment' to sharing classified information with them, according to an internal memo.
The files were the latest in a series of documents to be released after Twitter's new owner Elon Musk gave a group of hand-picked journalists access to the company's internal records.
'Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth,' claimed Taibbi.
'But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts,' he added.
Those singled out were shocked, with one asking how 'an amoeba' like himself had come onto the FBI's radar, while another said it was 'crazy' that the FBI was 'policing jokes'.
A third added: 'Anyone who cannot discern obvious satire from reality has no place making decisions for others or working for the feds.'

Having 'embedded' assets is a big plus. How many other social media platforms and news outlets did the "Team of 80" service ?

I guess that explains why Elon and his son were targeted for doxing in realtime - hoping that something would happen.
Is there another 80 people working with Facebook, and others with other social media platforms?

While the country was facing a possible supply chain crisis due to the looming threat of a massive rail strike earlier this year, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was vacationing in Portugal.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Buttigieg was in Porto, Portugal in September, a tourist destination over 3,500 miles away from Washington, D.C., that is best known for its wineries. He began his vacation on August 29th, just one week before Amtrak started canceling long-distance trips ahead of a likely strike due to failed attempts to negotiate a deal that satisfied the rail workers’ unions.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation (DOT) subsequently claimed that Buttigieg’s vacation was a “long-planned personal trip,” and that he “remained available and engaged” even while he was in Europe.
“As usual, while traveling on personal time he remained available and engaged on urgent issues,” the spokeswoman continued, “which in this case meant multiple calls with staff and stakeholders to work on the topic of rail labor negotiations.”
Buttigieg spent an entire week in Portugal, returning to the United States on September 5th.
The revelations have resulted in widespread mockery and criticism of Buttigieg, who has often been described as unqualified for his current position; it is generally understood that he was rewarded with a Cabinet Secretary position in return for his decision to drop out at a crucial time in the primaries when the establishment Democratic vote needed to consolidate behind Joe Biden in an effort to stop the insurgent candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
“Pete Buttigieg will take paid vacation in Europe for days on end but doesn’t think rail workers should get more than one day of sick leave,” said Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). “This is the same guy who took months of paid leave at the height of the supply chain crisis. If rail workers showed up for work as rarely as Buttigieg does, the country would fall apart.”
The standoff between the White House and the unions ultimately saw a number of unions vote to reject the final deal presented by the Biden Administration, which lacked several key demands such as paid sick leave. As a rail strike would have disastrous consequences for the nation’s supply chain ahead of the busy Christmas season, Biden turned to Congress to pass a law that would force the rail unions to accept the deal. The bill passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law by Biden, earning him backlash from working-class voters that he once claimed to represent as a senator.
