Boeing Moves More Jobs from Washington State to South Carolina
Kenneth Thomas, Middle Class Political Economist - 6 hours ago
As first reported in *The Wall Street Journal*, Boeing is ending production of the 787 Dreamliner at Everett, Washington, and moving it to its newer facility in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Crying Is Not an Indication of Weakness – It’s a Sign of Emotional Intelligence
Ashley Walker, Enlightened Consciousness - 8 hours ago
No matter how strong you are, there are times when you feel like crying your eyes out. It might be hard for you to hold back your tears, but crying doesn’t mean you’re weak. Everyone cries; it is something normal for all human beings. Some people believe that people who cry can’t control their emotions and that it makes people immature. Yet that is inaccurate. Those who cry are emotionally intelligent because they can face their emotions. If you don’t express your emotions adequately, they will build up within you over time, leading to stress and even depression. The ability to fe...

Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 14 hours ago
Benjamin Deniston The prospects of a re-election of Donald Trump, and a successful defeat of the attempted coup against his presidency, raises the potential for the United States to return to the mission orientation long advocated for by Lyndon LaRouche.

Court Packing Could Turn Into a Nightmare for Joe Biden and the Democrats
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, * Republicans will turn up the heat on Democrats over court-packing as the Amy Coney Barrett hearings begin next week. Republicans continue to press Democratic nominee Joe Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) in recent days over whether the pair would “pack” the court if conservative-leaning Amy Coney Barrett gets a seat on the bench, a question that the two have avoided to answer. If the Democrats were to proceed with court-packing, it would represent a momentous step that would erode another guardrail of American democracy and turn t...

Regeneron
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 10 hours ago

Now he's been attacked because, 1) his was "compassionate use" cure, 2) the CEO of the company belongs to the same golf club, 3) Trump called it a cure "without evidence," and 4) Trump can absolutely never be allowed a victory in anything, especially not where this one last plot to undo the 2016 election by the Democrats could be foiled. Democrats were so mad that the President didn't die of Covid, and worse, recovered quickly using a drug developed within months during his administration and encou...
