And KU with the sweep over KState! #rockchalk
A young person I have mentored got their LSAT score this AM. They scored in the 78 percentile! Very proud of them, and looking forward to the next generation of lawyers!
Would love thoughts on this. He uses US labor stats to support his numbers. Sure, there are always factors (global pandemic, wars, etc) that impact job numbers. But these numbers are very telling regarding policies around job growth.
A couple days ago, I posted jobs numbers from the past 6 presidents, 3 Republican (Bush I, Bush II, and Trump) and 3 Democratic (Clinton, Obama, and Biden). Over 20 years, nearly 50 million jobs were added under the 3 Democratic presidents, whereas only 2 million have been added under the aforementioned Republicans, over the course of 17 years, 8 months. A good percentage of MAGA responders said something along the lines of, "The Democrat Party only added government jobs! Look at the private sector!"
Very well.
First, let's look at public sector or government jobs.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.127M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +1.934M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): +1.744M
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): -263k
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -575k
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +1.816M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): -230k
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +3.487M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): +2.066M
Difference: Democrats +1.421M/Republicans -1.421M
Not much difference. Now let's move onto the private sector.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.502M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +20.979M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): -368k
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): +11.812M
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -2.19M
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +13.589M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): +1.006M
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +46.380M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): -50k
Difference: Democrats +46.430M/Republicans -46.430M
That's right, over the past 37 years, 8 months, Republican presidents are actually underwater, as far as private-sector jobs go, whereas Democrats are 46 million+ above it. No matter what the GOP tries to sell you on the old, tired narrative that they're better for the economy, the numbers tell a completely different story.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month. wapo.st/47GV3EC

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
This ad is so gross and tells us all we need to know about a person like Vivek and Stephen. Amy was SA’ed by her mom’s husband and the mom lost custody of her kids. This is a new, disgusting low.

BYU fans, this is what cracking a light domestic beer at 5:00 on a Friday feels like
Sigh…
K-State fans think they hate Kansas football but it’s nothing compared to how much Kansas fans hate Kansas football.

But DOGE??
The latest federal budget deficit is near $2 trillion, ($1.99 trillion, to be exact) which is its highest since the pandemic.
Spending on the military, safety net programs, and paid interest on the national debt ($3 billion per day) have dwarfed cost-cutting measures.
