During questioning from Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, Wolters said he was part of the effort to deter Russia, as well. Gallagher asked, as transcribed by WE: “Would it be fair to say that deterrence failed in Ukraine?”

Wolters began to give a typical non-answer to Gallagher’s question: “Number one, I would say that NATO’s solidarity remained” — prompting the lawmaker to cut him off and demand a direct answer. Amazing stuff; made even more amazing by Wolters’s admission:
I can’t argue with your conclusions.
Like everything else over the past year or so, this Administration had no plan. Nothing at all planned that could have possibly prevented this. They may or may not have even considered something that would have prevented it, but they (once again) seem to have been caught flat footed. None of this would have happened had we had more competent leadership.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 213 of 213U.S. job growth continued at a robust pace in March while the unemployment rate fell, signs the labor market is booming as the Covid-19 pandemic recedes and more workers return to the labor force,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Employers added 431,000 jobs in March, and the jobless rate fell to 3.6% from 3.8% a month earlier… The report marked the 11th straight month of job gains above 400,000, the longest such stretch of growth in records dating back to 1939.
President Biden is the equivalent to FDR.
President Biden is the equivalent to FJB.
At least he is getting close to the pre-pandemic job levels. If we don't hit a recession it should just be a few more months
But of course inflation adjusted wages are terrible
so to repeat
FJB
Now, amid an exceptionally fast recovery, the job market looks increasingly healthy and normal.
Yeah, we only have 10 MILLION current job openings.
Healthy. Normal. Bullshit.
This is what an economic fucktard posted.
"The Real Halfbaked Soars Pundit April 1, 2022 at 9:02 AM
Wages are rising, up 0.4% in March and up 5.6% over the last year.
The bad news: That's too slow to keep up with inflation.The good news: It doesn’t suggest an inflationary upward spiral in wages and prices"
Wages are inflationary.
Prices are going up because Biden policies produced scarcity.
His attack on day #1 on the USA Oil producers caused the increase in gas.
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT Cheered it .
Employees returning to their jobs dropped by 320,000.
Roger's normal is anything but.
President Biden is the equivalent to FDR.
Indeed.
And he has the J6 "paraders" in the internment camps to show for it.
"There are signs a recession could be on the way."

Mr. Powell has indicated that the Fed is also likely to finalize plans at that meeting to start shrinking the central bank’s $9 trillion asset portfolio.
This is the last jobs report before the Fed’s May meeting.
The monthly jobs report reveals key indicators about the labor market and the overall state of the economy, but it doesn’t show the entire picture. WSJ explains how to read the report, what it shows and what it doesn’t.
Strong demand coupled with shortages for select goods and services one year ago led to a surge in inflation. Fed officials expected it would eventually subside as supply chains healed.
But over the last six months, officials have grown more anxious about inflation running above the central bank’s 2% target for much longer than they previously expected—even after any reversal of last year’s extreme price increases for items such as used cars—because of signs that price pressures are broadening to include more labor-intensive services.
Fed officials focused heavily last year on promoting a rapid rebound in hiring, and Friday’s report showed that several labor-market indicators, including the number of unemployed workers and the share of 25-to-54-year-olds who have a job, have nearly returned to the levels that prevailed in February 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic froze economic activity.
But officials are now concerned that if the pace of hiring and wage growth doesn’t soon slow, inflation could become more difficult to wring out of the economy. Average hourly wages rose 0.4% in March from February and were up 5.6% over the past year, the Labor Department said on Friday.
A separate report released Thursday showed that inflation rose 6.4% in February from a year earlier, according to the Fed’s preferred gauge. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 5.4%. Those readings were near their highest in four decades.
At a press conference on March 16, Mr. Powell signaled greater concern that higher inflation might persist due to a hot job market with record job openings and wages up at their fastest pace in years. “That’s a very, very tight labor market—tight to an unhealthy level, I would say,” he said.
In January, the Fed had expected inflation to diminish this year as supply-chain bottlenecks improved, but the war in Ukraine and aggressive sanctions by the West against Moscow have upended those optimistic forecasts by driving up energy and commodity prices and sowing more disruption in the global economy.
“That story has already fallen apart,” Mr. Powell said at an economics conference on March 21. “To the extent it continues to fall apart, my colleagues and I may well reach the conclusion we’ll need to move more quickly. And if so, we’ll do so.
Powell is highly qualified..
Remember that the total number of people who are looking for new jobs are increasing rapidly.
If Powell can manage the economic recovery and avoid a recession we will see what happens in November.
F Daddy (whose very self designation is disgusting) SAYS:
"There is no 5 year old in the world that is explicitly gay, lesbian, transgender or heterosexual.
"Small children do not think about sex and sexuality unless they have been groomed to do so by an adult.
"These are the facts."
________
No, they are not. What I am about to say is far more factual:
We have learned the difficult way that children who are born with sexual organs that are not entirely clear as to whether they were "intended" by nature to be either male or female should not be surgically operated on by a doctor until they themselves have become old enough to have a say concerning their gender preference.
But most of us, including myself, never had to make a decision as to whether we are male or female, or to which gender we were and are attracted.
All that was decided for us.
For example, I never had to think or worry for a moment about whether I was attracted to little boys or little girls. From a very early age I was attracted to girls, even when I didn't want to admit that I was. Even in the third grade I was strongly attracted to a little blonde, blue-eyed girl in the second grade, though for some reason I didn't want anyone to know it. (I think I was embarrassed by it.)
That was not a decision I made for myself; it was made for me. It was in my make up. It was how I was "wired."
But not everyone is fortunate enough to be like that, and we should have understanding and compassion for them, and support them in whatever may for them be some difficult life decisions they have to make regarding gender and sexual preferences.
I think that reflects what Jesus would advocate were he among us today, and reflects the best in the tradition of understanding and compassion out of which he came.

It's James's Fucking Daddy, "pastor" James Boswell
As in James's Fucking Daddy
and no, 5 year olds have no idea about sex, most can't even read. You go listen to 5 year olds. And children who can't be biologically identified at birth is just a total smoke screen. Something dishonest people do.
But please don't take advantage of the little children.
And stop lying about being honest, decent and truthful.
You fail on all counts Boswell
What a POS
FACT CHECK - TRUE
Every word I put above is both truthful and reasonable..
Doctors used to surgically operate on small children in order to try to enhance what they thought was nature's sexual intention for them. We now realize that was a mistake and it is discouraged from being ever done now. The child should later have a part in determining whether or what kind of surgery should be utilized and for what purpose.
So how can that be a "smokescreen"?
No, you are lacking in truth and in compassion, and you lie every time you say or imply I am a child abuser.
You lie before all of us and before God.
The scriptures call that bearing false witness.

"Many genetic and environmental factors can affect the developing baby and lead to atypical genitalia. Ambiguous genitalia may make it harder to determine a baby’s gender. But very few newborns with this condition have genitals that are so ambiguous that the healthcare provider can’t figure out the gender at birth."
"Sex assignment at birth usually aligns with a child's anatomical sex and phenotype. The number of births where the baby is intersex —where they do not fit into typical definitions of male and female at birth—has been reported to be as low as 0.018%"
Doing surgery on any child who does not fit in this category is child abuse.
This is what you are advocating for
You lie before all of us and before God.
The scriptures call that bearing false witness.
So fuck off "pastor"
