At a time when US food prices have been increasing faster than overall inflation, the Trump administration has admitted to enacting policies that put the the US food supply at risk and a continuation of existing policy will drive US farmers out of business. Earlier this month the Department of Labor issued a report which states "The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal workforce is threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers." The report went on to say that without immediate action to correct the situation that "agricultural employers will be unable to maintain operations and the nation's food supply will be at risk."

Fox "News" host Jesse Watters called for the gassing or bombing of the United Nations building on The Five. Watters claimed that an insurrection was attempted when "they" attempted to sabotage Donald Trump's UN speech but shutting down the escalator and turning off his teleprompter, both things which were done by Trump's own people. Watters stated "they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection, and what we need to do is either leave the UN or we need to bomb it. It is in New York, though, right?

Melissa has had 215mph guests, but not sustained.
Melissa has tied the record for highest sustained winds at landfall (185mph) with The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and Dorian (2019). It has also tied the 1935 storm for lowest mbar pressure (892) at landfall.
Allen (1980) achieved 190 mph sustained winds and Wilma (2005) and Gilbert(1988) had lower mbar but those storms weakened before landfall.

The labor department filing reduces the minimum wage that must be paid to H2-A visa workers by $1.12 to $3.18 per hour depending on the state. The change is expected to result in farmers seeking to hire more foreign workers.
This contradicts the July claim from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins that the administration is working toward an "100% American workforce."

It goes on to say that the most recent data confirms that "despite efforts to broadly advertise agricultural jobs...domestic applicants are not applying for agricultural positions in sufficient numbers."

They aren't buying MAGAT hats and donating to whatever his latest scam is which make them the WORST in his eyes. Except for the attractive early to mid-teen girls. They can stay for a little longer in Trump's America.
