EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Those Non-Endorsements Are Piling Up For Kamala. “We’ve been seeing this from one union after another, including large segments of the auto workers. Democrats have been taking these endorsements for granted for years, but now the actions of Biden and Harris seem to be coming back to bite them.

The union leadership ranks haven’t been able to bring themselves to endorse a Republican… at least, not yet. But the rank-and-file workers are clearly in the mood for a change to the status quo.”

The Obama era accelerated an already left leaning government bureaucracy into one that is incompetent at anything except punishing its perceived enemies in ways that make Nixon look positively saintly.”

Plus, from the comments: “One might ask how they are running out of money in day 4 of FY2024/2025.”
