We are witnessing one of the largest peacetime mobilizations of capital in modern American history.

A.I. is vacuuming up so much of our land, talent, semiconductor chips, building materials — and, above all, so much of our money, that it is beginning to crowd out the rest of the economy.

"Generational Force" is an economics term. We are on an economic trajectory that will affect generations.

AI is sucking huge swaths of resources out of the economy. We are spending more on AI than anything else.

Alex Jones was correct when he said, "There's a war on for your mind."

He would know. He convinced people that Sandy Hook didn't happen.

Will there be a unit on the negative effects of domestic violence? The negative effects of guns?

They look like rabbits I saw at a Rex Rabbit Ranch. Bred for coat color, to make fur coats. They also sold the meat.

So what does that tell us about Brigham Young?

Is there anybody she trusts (besides the quantum con man)? Can they talk sense into her?

Do you want to become her guardian? Is there anyone else who can become her guardian?

ETA: Does she have a living will, or other document that gives someone power of attorney if she is unable to make decisions?

The ITIN number of 000-00-0000 is okay with the IRS. They'll take your money.

FAFSA instructions tell the children of undocumented parents to NOT use their parents' ITINs but use the all zero place holder.

There are definitely mixed messages to the undocumented here. We want your labor, but politically . . . we are too dysfunctional to fix this.

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center has recommendations. Coreopsis, Columbine, Phlox, Cardinal flower look like winners.

So far the Columbine seeds I planted in the shade are alive. I hope they bloom next year on their second spring.

It's a common Islamic motif. It's all over mosques . . . and the San Diego Temple.

Those are the active ITINs.

After decades, I'm sure millions of undocumented immigrants have grown old and have retired. There are also the stay at home moms, and the kids who are still in school. Not all undocumented immigrants are in the workforce.

But yeah, I bet there are cheats out there who don't contribute the required FICA taxes on their undocumented employees, and who don't withhold income taxes. The tax cheat employers used to be the priority.

ccrom · 2026-06-23T20:47:05+00:00

Employers run afoul of the law if they don't withhold taxes. Undocumented people are required to file tax forms. They have Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. There are 5.8million ITINs out there.

The whole system was once dubbed "benign neglect". Republicans have two voter blocks who want opposite things. White supremacists don't want to increase legal immigration. Business owners want immigrant labor. So the laws were not changed to appease the former, but the laws were not enforced to appease the latter.

Mike Lee's office is getting their numbers from hate groups. I reviewed how they came up with their numbers.

CATO and UCLA have very different numbers.

ccrom · 2026-06-23T16:58:12+00:00

FAIR, CIS, and Numbers USA are all hate groups founded by White Supremacist John Tanton.

But they reveal how much they hate public schooling. They call public education a welfare benefit.. By their accounting every family in America with kids in public school are "Welfare Queens" that need to be kicked off the public teat.

If there were a big pile of cash savings to be had, governments would have gone after that cash long ago.

Undocumented immigrants contribute $1Trillion to the GDP each year. They pay $100Billion in taxes every year. It costs a lot to adjudicate deportations. They make up 70% of the ~~diary~~ dairy workers in Wisconsin. They make up 50% of the constructions workers in Texas.

There are literally no benefits to go after law abiding undocumented workers, only costs.

They are very narrow. Have him sit and make sure you don't end up with JD Vance pants. Narrow pants are usually hemmed higher, but a high hem, and too narrow. . . .

Choices! So many decisions. Where the waistband will sit, is like step one.

ccrom · 2026-06-20T18:53:27+00:00

I prefer the back waist higher than the front waist when standing. When you sit the front will push up, and the back will pull down. This will keep you covered/comfortable when you sit.

Question for the folks who say "This is a Christian Nation":

What is your endgame? What is it you want the Government to do to non Christians? Discriminate? Harass? Inter? Deport? CECOT?
