“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”

No, not really as I've never met them.
That event was mysterious indeed, as if an entity enticed a group of gullible individuals to create an embarrassment for Trump, an excuse for the Democrats to keep Trump out of government forever after. And they almost succeeded.
Anyway, it's time for the illegal aliens to go home.

Never before have I seen such a massive group of disrespectful and disgusting human beings.
Such uncultured uncivilized beings do not deserve to be in the United States.

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be "under siege" during Biden's presidency.
Kerry told Biden the Democratic party had "missed" on the issue of immigration for years, allowing Republicans like Trump to gain political advantage.
"The first thing any president should say - or anybody in public life - is without a border protected, you don't have a nation," Kerry said. "I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I'm going to enforce the law."
Democrats, many of whom advocate more relaxed immigration laws and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants, attempted to portray Trump's positions as harsh and discriminatory.
Kerry says that was a mistake.
"Trump was right," Kerry said. "The problem is we all should have been right."

Key West, which voted last week to become a sanctuary city, changed its mind after intense pressure from state-level elected officials.
Key West commissioners at a city hall meeting on Tuesday night voted to uphold an agreement it had with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to cooperate with the Trump administration's mass deportation effort.
Those same commissioners chose in a 6-1 vote to void that same agreement last week and turn the area into a sanctuary city .
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier had threatened to remove Key West elected and unelected officials from their offices.
As a result, three of the six commissioners who initially voted to void the agreement, changed their vote.
Key West Mayor Danise Henriquez also voted to restore the agreement which will allow local police officers to stop, question and detain illegal aliens.

Austin, Texas's LGBTQ proponent fire chief Joel Baker refused to deploy for the Texas flood. Worthless excuse of a human being.

That's true, but Ford doesn't really offer a powertrain for that high a GVW. North of 30k# GVW you should have a Cummins L9/Allison 3000, and the whole point of the Ford 650/750 is to offer a low cost class 6/7 with a proprietary drivetrain. While the 6.7L Powerstroke certainly has the beans for that GVW, I would be concerned about long-term durability. The Ford Torq-Shift 10 speed is a very good pickup truck to class 5 transmission, but beyond that I don't know. An Allison 3000 I do know! The vast majority of these Fords sold are 'under CDL' spec. jobs anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
That's when one goes old school and compensates with lower gearing. You won't be flying down the highway but the 6.7L/10spd auto will get the job done.

Also I have not seen one in years
Oldsmobile's Toronado (1966-1970 first gen) was years ahead of its time.
"Toro" reminds me of GM's Toro-Flow medium truck diesel engines.

Yes, I see a lot of the gas jobs in municipal fleets. Even if International, Freightliner, or Isuzu for that matter offer the Cummins Octane I doubt they will be able to beat Ford on price. Everything else yeah....
Of course here in a CARB state the only big Fords we see are gas 650's, the Powerstroke has not been available in a couple of years.
Until one reviews the frame and suspension options, only then can one realize how heavy the Ford medium can be spec'd. 120,000 PSI frames, 14k front suspensions and 31k rear suspensions.

To be clear I have not heard and specific rumors the 650 and 750 are to be dropped, but sales of these trucks have been falling.
I literally see them everywhere, and I'm not even speaking of the U-Haul fleet. The gasoline version is so popular with the low mileage fleets. It's hands down the best bang for the buck, particularly with tight-budget users such as tree removal companies.

Private sector hiring shrunk dramatically last month in a worrying sign for the the US economy.
Private payrolls shed 33,000 jobs in June when analysts had conversely expected them to add 100,000.
The negative data, the first decrease since 2023, suggests the US economy could be a lot less resilient than investors have been hoping.
Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month.
The news supports the Fed's position on holding interest rates steady.

Oklahoma republican senator Markwayne Mullin said on Sunday he believes babies born in the United States to illegal aliens living in the country should be deported alongside their parents if the adults are removed.
What I've long said, though it's so much common sense that it should go without saying. Stop birth tourism as well.
