Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, November 26, 2025

The jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released last week found that while nonfarm payrolls increased by 119,000, there were 6,000 fewer manufacturing jobs, adding to the tally of 59,000 lost factory jobs since Trump's April vows to ignite domestic manufacturing.

Trump promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Instead, 58 thousand manufacturing workers have lost their jobs in America since his stupid tariffs took effect. Then he lies to our faces, saying the economy has never been better. Outrageous.

Tyson's beef plant closure in Nebraska will impact a reliant town and ranchers nationwide

Tyson Foods' decision to close a beef plant that employs nearly one third of residents of Lexington, Nebraska, could devastate the small city and undermine the profits of ranchers nationwide.

Closing a single slaughterhouse might not seem significant, but the Lexington plant employs roughly 3,200 people in the city of 11,000 and has the capacity to slaughter some 5,000 head of cattle a day. Tyson also plans to cut one of the two shifts at a plant in Amarillo, Texas, and eliminate 1,700 jobs there. Together those two moves will reduce beef processing capacity nationwide by 7-9%.


Putin's demented bitch is on a roll.

Look at how many months over the years of the biden administration that they crated fed govt jobs/hiring to make their employment numbers [the economy] look better:

GOOGLE AI Overview
The Biden administration's approach to new hires has influenced employment numbers through a combination of overall economic policy effects and direct increases in federal government employment, the latter of which has drawn scrutiny and debate from critics.

But you know who points the finger where it belongs?

www.americanagnetwork.com

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW)

"The closure of the Tyson Foods beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska is a devastating blow to the hundreds of meatpacking workers who every day put in the hard, often unseen work of keeping America fed. While these workers were not members of UFCW, we stand with them. These men and women are the backbone of an industry that strengthens local economies and sustains our nation's food supply

"Layoffs in towns like Lexington don't just impact workers inside the plant. Families now face uncertainty and anxiety heading into the holiday season and small businesses will feel the strain as spending drops. When a company as large and as profitable as Tyson shuts down a facility like this, it is the community " not the corporation " that pays the biggest price.

"This decision also raises serious questions about our national priorities. The Administration and Congress should be working to strengthen these workers and their communities by boosting production here at home. Instead, our leaders are flirting with importing beef from Argentina and unleashing tariffs that cut off foreign markets to American beef, pork, and chicken. Meatpacking workers across this country deserve better."

Who did the UFCW endorse in 2024?

You guessed it, Harris.

www.ufcw.org

"Today, the UFCW International Executive Board is proud to announce the endorsement of Vice President Harris to be the next President of the United States. She has always shown up for our members, whether it was during her time representing California in the U.S. Senate or as part of the most pro-union administration in modern American history, Vice President Harris has workers' backs.

I think it fair to conclude that these job losses would not have occurred if Harris was elected

Are theses counting all the thousands of people they had to re-hire after the DOGE debacle?

This year, U.S. job losses have reached 1.1 million as of October, up sharply from last year's total of 761,000.

The rancid orange pedo with a putin-gaped ass is once again displaying his job killing prowess.

Very few if any federal jobs are in manufacturing. The only way federal job numbers affect manufacturing jobs is thru federal polices they are required to enforce. Polices handed down by the executive branch.

BTW-making your economy "look better" is actually your job as a politician but is only half the battle. As the chart shows.

The chart speaks volumes.

Manufacturing jobs were increasing until Trumpy grabbed the wheel and took us for his Wild Ride (ver 2.0) and then it took a sharp dive and has not recovered since.

Go ahead now. Trumpsplain it all away.

@#3 ... Look at how many months over the years of the biden administration ...

But didn't Pres Trump promise to fix all that?

And, as you note, we still seem to have the same problem?

At this point, the Trump admin should be taking responsibility for their failures and stop trying to deflect the blame of their failures elsewhere.

#25 Sorry MaSturbationGetsTough, blaming Biden for anything doesn't work any more, you smooth-brained, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breather.

Not after the moment you and your ilk, following last November's election, laughed and sneered that now the GOP now owns all of Washington DC (POTUS, Congress, SCOTUS). "Hahaha, you libs! We own you!" you chortled.

Well, you bought it, MaSturbationGetsTough.

You broke it, MaSturbationGetsTough.

Now you own it, MaSturbationGetsTough.

Sucks to be you, MaSturbationGetsTough

#22 Reptation of lies by the rightwing echoes the propogandist's refrain:

"Repeat a lie often enough and loud enough that it becomes truth."

How about, "Keep repeating the truth even louder until it sinks in"?

Or are those of us on the other side of the aisle are supposed to handcuff ourselves of that communication reality?

Because it is "unfriendly."

Or it is "provocative."

Or it is "unproductive."

Or it is the "wrong tack."

I respect you, Lamp.

What tack should I (and others) take?

If not shoving it in their own faces as much as they've been shoving it into our faces?

Thank-you for that.

... What tack should I ... take? ...

Back when (decades ago) when I ran a message board, I used to tell the participants, attack the message and not the poster.

Your comment I replied to was nothing more than an attack of the poster, with little to gainsay what was said in its comments.

Now I am the first to admit that I am not perfect in this regard, but it is a posting policy I try to maintain for myself.

#25 Yeah, my comment was nothing more than an attack of the poster, with little to gainsay what was said in its comments.

So?

Isn't that exactly what those of us on this side of the aisle have been receiving for more than a decade now?

As I said, why should we hold back. I am in the Reinheitsgebot camp: give it to them as hard as they gave, and then some.

The days of being a kind of Algonquin Round Table discussion on a bulletin board is long gone.

'Tis a scorched Earth campaign, and there's only going to be one winning side.

You might not like my (or Reinheitsgebot's) attacks on the MAGAts, but you, I and Reinheitsgebot are all in the same war, just fighting different battles in the way we think is best.

And the best advice I can think of is that those of us on our side should not conflate fighting the good fight with being an internecine warrior at the same time.

There are no winners in an internecine war, nor are there any medals handed out for the internecine warrior after the war is over, and all the damage is done.
