--In the past 3 months, a record 2.4mm native-born jobs have been lost (a record ex-COVID crash), including 494k jobs lost in February
--Since May 2018, there have been zero jobs created for native-born Americans. All new jobs in the past 6 years have gone to immigrants, legal and illegal, on the aggregate
--People (and companies) will do what they are incentivized to do
-Today’s job report shows that unemployment has risen to 3.9%, more people are having to take on 2nd jobs, and yet again the prior job openings report by BLS had to be revised downward by 35%
-NVDA had a massive drop starting on Friday morning and continuing into the after-hours - we’ll see how that plays out, but my warning from the last podcast still stands

-Israel has recalled its UN ambassador in response to the UN slow rolling and covering up a report outlining the gruesome and horrific sex crimes and sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on 10/7
-Iran is currently agitating its proxies to overthrow the king in Bahrain, which just happens to be where the US Navy’s 5th fleet is located
-China has instructed - not asked - the US to cease all communications with Taiwan
-China has its national congress coming up, and importantly removed all verbiage of “peaceful reunification” with Tawain from their defense budget while upping defense spending significantly.

The Intercept
The Informant at the Heart of the Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Plot Was a Liability. So Federal Agents Shut Him Up.
Internal FBI reports and undercover recordings reveal that federal agents were concerned about entrapment claims.
Social dynamics/societal/culture war/legal:
-Report by the (very) left-leaning The Intercept this week shines a light on the FBI entrapment scheme to “kidnap Michigan Governor” and highlights that the FBI may very well have been behind stoking political violence leading up to the 2020 election
(Maybe not-so) Crazy Conspiracy Theory:
Tom Luongo interview with The Duran about The Fed fighting The EU
White pill for the week:
Thread by Voodo on X re: Hungary destroying the Mongols on round 2
The Weekend Meditation/contemplation (Friday):
“Everything just is beautiful, and everything beautiful ought to be just.”
There is a reason that the same people who are currently agitating to destroy everything beautiful around the world are also the ones making a mockery of justice.

Forwarded from Holly Kesler
Georgia Citizens Defending Freedom State Director, Holly Kesler, has filed two complaints with both the newly formed Prosecuting Attorneys’ Qualifications Commission and the Fulton County Board of Ethics, respectively, concerning Fani Willis.
The complaints are separate and distinct from the criminal trial, but the complaints could have far reaching consequences beyond what is awaiting Willis in Judge McAfee’s courtroom. The complaints request investigations that could result in Willis being removed from public office, removal of her contractual authority on behalf of Fulton County, and fines and penalties, among others.
The first complaint, filed with the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Qualifications Commission on February 22, 2024, provides a detailed analysis of alleged willful misconduct in office, conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, and other acts that constitute grounds for removal of Willis from office.
The second complaint, filed with the Fulton County Board of Ethics on February 26, 2024, alleges that Willis violated Fulton County ethical rules that are in place to prevent self-dealing behavior by public officials.
As detailed in the Ethics Complaint, Willis approved Professional Services Agreements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for Wade after beginning an admitted romantic relationship. The approval of subsequent contracts after the relationship began has not been a focus in the current criminal trial but is problematic for Willis when examined under the rules that govern her ethical conduct as a public officeholder.
Specifically, Wade was awarded a second Professional Services Contract on November 15, 2022 and a third contract was awarded to Wade on June 12, 2023. The complaint further alleges that the public funds Willis disbursed to Wade were used for her own personal benefit in the form of gifts and travel in-kind that went unreported on mandatory disclosure reports. All violations of the Fulton County Ethics Code.
Georgia Attorney Alex Johnson, who assisted with the complaint analysis, stated “Public service is a public trust. DA Willis has continued to place the integrity, trust, and accountability of her elected office in question, resulting in national embarrassment for the State of Georgia. She must be held accountable to the maximum extent permitted by law in order to restore trust and confidence in the judicial process. The complaints filed by Mrs. Kesler are an important first step in that process. Further steps will be determined if the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Qualifications Commission and the Fulton County Ethics Board actually act, exercise leadership, and create the needed accountability."
The complaints may be found here…

I have been asked to pass along as a matter of clarity that Wisconsin’s presidential preference primary is April 2, not April 3 as has been relayed by some online sources.
