You did NOT answer the question. What did cause federal employment to fall by 360,00?

Is that not real money and real savings? I know real CFOs who ran real companies and they told me labor was one of the few costs they control since power was 70 percent of their operation and non-negotiable. At 200k per year per federal employee that is a lot of money.
The cuts to the Federal workforce saved about 40 billion a year. Peanuts.

Where are the trillions in waste and fraud you were talking about in early 2025? 🙄

I guess this is news to some. Yes, it often snows at almost 11,000 feet.

Record horrible year for Vail.

I have a tee time in a mountain town tomorrow.

Nope. As one who has conquered 43 state high points, it is hardly newsworthy. As I noted in an earlier post, my outing decades ago at Winter Park on the last day of the season came with 2 feet of fresh snow. You will be long dead by the time actual “global warming” hits the world.

And frankly, you are a massive part of the problem. You of the million dollar home will waste a lot of fuel in your still unnamed vehicle to go golfing in the mountains.

Battle of Hormuz? Actions since Feb 28? Wasn’t it open Feb 28 (and weeks after)? One of our missions was to open an already open waterway? Did the president not say it would just open like 2 weeks ago in his address to the nation? I didn’t know this was all part of the plan.

And just to magnify your status as a complete and total hypocrite / poser. It’s truly amazing the total liberal you have become. You ARE the problem. You whine about global warming and moan and whine about the scarcity of water and extreme drought. What are you doing about it today? You are burning fossil fuels to power a multi thousand pound vehicle UP the mountains of Colorado. When you reach your golf course, you will indulge in an elite activity. And last I checked, golf courses use a LOT of water. At end of your round you will no doubt consume a burger with a view at the 19th hole. Congrats - you are absolutely everythjng you claim to hate and definitely envy.

My impression is Iran was blocking or charging ships to get through, but giving their ships free passage. Effective this week, the US Navy now blocks Iranian ships and gives other free passage. Thus, it is estimated cutting off the Iranian regimes ability to pay their military/ police past the next two weeks. This is why they are now scrambling to make the deal they turned down before they are turned on by the public.

Can you tell me where I am wrong? I am not saying I have this all accurate, so just let me know.

I’m not a global warming guy. Don’t believe in it. I’m a resource guy, and clean fresh water is the most important one.

You’re the one talking about temps in Canada and Alaska.

If I was a global warming guy, I probably wouldn’t drive 2 SUVs. But I’ve always been concerned about water, and not oil/gas.

Thanks for admitting you think gas vehicle drivers are a problem. You’re the global warming guy now!

Ah. The failed forum presidential candidate chimes in. You claimed there was no plan at all. You were wrong then and you are still wrong now.

BTW, he shot Bullis in the face multiple times once the neighbors heard her. They were coming to stop the sexual assault. He should see a firing squad immediately after being found guilty. That won’t happen, but how about a quick denaturalization and shipping this **** to a Siberian gulag? Putin would gladly take the money. He needs it.

I hope you are right that they are scrambling to reach an agreement. I heard others predicting a week or two and we will have what we wanted, I'm highly suspicious this won't still take multiple months (from now). Also, us blocking Iranian ships could lead to conflicts with non-Iranian gov'ts that could add complexity, that's a total unknown that is potentially worrisome.

We helped fund the Wuhan lab/outbreak. China wants to release deadly pathogens here. The rest of the world has to hate both of our countries.
We didn’t help fund anything. Anthony Fauci funded it. China is obviously attacking us and all you can think about is how other countries feel about us. The liberal machine would be proud of you loathing your own country.

I don’t loathe our country. I just acknowledge the obvious. Fauci, who worked for the US govt, funded the Wuhan virus. Everyone should be pissed about it.

I’d just be happy if both China and the US stopped this ****. Hopefully we learned our lesson. China will never learn, they want to kill us.

From his personal account? It was partially funded thru various US organizations. NIH, USAID, etc.

It sounds as if you love the foreign policy of the last 50-60 years that kicked the can down the road and never fixed the issue. France and England aren’t going to do squat to the US. They are weak af. The Arab states, particularly the Gulf states, are in support of the US actions. China has stopped arming Iran and is getting their oil from other Gulf players and the US.

BTW, “No Plan” Trump brought back the Monroe Doctrine and the US is now in control of the Canal Carter gave away for $1. The Chinese are gone. The Chinese are gone from Venezuela. So US controls flow of oil from Venezuela and controls movement through the Canal. The US just signed a defense agreement with Indonesia through which runs the Strait of Malacca. China commerce flows through that strait.

Every country in the world doesn’t hate us. Just stop there.

I’m specifically talking about releasing deadly pathogens. We did that just a handful of years ago. The USA govt was partially responsible. China is trying to do the same thing here. Everyone should hate governments that try to kill people through deadly pathogens, that never need to be released.

People like you and TJ also think OWS resulted in the death of millions and the maiming of countless others.

I know what you are discussing. You’re trying to be a drama queen this whole week.

You highlighted a story of China trying to release deadly pathogens in our country. I highlighted that we also did that, just a handful of years ago.

I don’t really hear about countries outside of China and the USA doing this. I’m sure it happens, but in recent years, we are the 2 countries most responsible for these types of attacks.

You posted concern about yak and reindeer farmers a few days ago. Speaking of drama queen behavior.

I didn’t think you could get more shallow with your postings than you’ve shown, but this one isn’t even baby pool pee water deep. Congratulations!
Shallow is having a single fall man and everyone else is clean. A growing trend. Congratulations!

Find us news reports of the US trying to ruin countries by sneaking viruses in like China is doing. Can you do something other than your Chicken Little nonsense and produce some current documents that support your claim as opposed to diverting attention away from the serious business of who/what foreign nationals we allow into our university lab systems?
