Good morning, lysie!
Very nice breakfast, thanks.

U.S. job openings unexpectedly dropped in August to the lowest level in over a year as the Federal Reserve tries to bring down near-record high inflation and cool the labor market.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that there were 10.1 million job openings in August – a major decline from the previous month’s revised reading of 11.17 million.
Still, the number of available jobs has topped 10 million for 15 consecutive months; before the pandemic began in February 2020, the highest on record was 7.7 million.
The Federal Reserve closely watches these figures as it tries to gauge labor market tightness; the lower-than-expected number of openings could provide some relief for policymakers as they try to slow the economy and cool painfully high inflation.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans quitting their jobs rose to 4.2 million, or about 2.7% of the workforce – below the high of 4.5 million recorded earlier this year, but well above the pre-pandemic level of about 3.6 million. Hiring was also mostly unchanged at 6.3 million.

Steve Bannon just arrived to New York Supreme Court today
He told reporters: "We're going to destroy the Democrat Party as a national political institution"

If Raphael Warnock did EXACTLY what #HershelWalker did, the Left would brush it off and—even more audacious—accuse the publications that reported on him of racism. The other side relies on us to freak out over the human failings of our candidates. We shouldn’t fall into the trap!

One year ago today, Merrick Garland issued his controversial school boards memo.
If he really doesn’t think parents are domestic terrorists, why not just rescind that memo?

Walker’s opponent has literally been accused of domestic abuse, covering up child abuse, and spending campaign money on child support.
I’m sorry, but if the GOP in GA is jumping ship, GA needs a better GOP. This is politics. Get in the game or go home.

The real issue in Georgia is not Hershel Walker’s behavior. (You can be sure the media is not investigating Warnock’s misdeeds.) It’s whether Georgians want a virtual Communist in the U.S. Senate, and to give up the country to the radical Left. Vote accordingly! #HershelWalker
35 days to Election Day.
Hold on—it is going to be a very bumpy ride.
Keep the faith!

So much FAKE talk about the Government’s Document Hoax Case against me, and the Unwarranted, Unnecessary, and possibly Illegal Raid on Mar-a-Lago, a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. There were no leaks until the documents were given, and now the FBI seems unable, according to reports, to count what they have, a mess. This is not a criminal case, and wasn’t for Obama, Bill Clinton, Bush I, Bush II, or even for Crooked’s deleting 33,000 Emails AFTER getting a Subpoena. Read “Socks Case.”

Give Truth Social a lot of credit for the incredible win for President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil in making it into the run off for a new term, which will take place against a Radical Left lunatic on October 30th. My Endorsement of him was done exclusively on Truth, and it had a spectacular impact for a spectacular man, and President. Vote Bolsonaro!!!
