       This is what Trump set out to do: to make their lives so
       miserable that they leave. But as I always say, those who leave
       will make life even worse for those who stay, who are now fewer.
       Leaving is desertion. Of all times, now is not the time to
       desert! Now is the time to dig in to permanent demographic

       Ayatollah Khamenei: Election fiasco, paralyzed economy show what
       'big idol' US has turned to
       --- Quote ---
       > Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
       says it is weird that some still worship the US as their idol
       despite the country’s election fiasco, paralyzed economy, and
       human rights records.
       >
       > “Today we can see what that big idol has turned into. This is
       their democracy. This is their election fiasco. This is their
       human rights: they kill a Black person once in every couple of
       hours or days, and the murderer is not prosecuted. These are
       'American values' ​​that today are ridiculed. This
       is their paralyzed economy. The US economy is truly paralyzed,”
       Ayatollah Khamenei said in televised speech on Friday.
       >
       > “More weirdly, some still worship America,” the Leader added.
       >
       > The Leader said the result of US presence in Iran [before the
       1979 Revolution] was economic and scientific poverty, and
       corruption.
       >
       > “Some think if we reconcile and interact with the US, [Iran]
       will turn into a paradise,” the Leader added.
       >
       > Ayatollah Khamenei further noted the Americans admit that
       their interests are secured by creating instability in the
       region.
       >
       > “The US sees its interests in regional instability under the
       current circumstances, unless it is the dominant power in the
       region,” he added.
       >
       > “This is what they have admitted. A famous expert of one of
       these American think tanks clearly said that ‘we are not after
       stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon’. The main issue is
       not whether instability is needed in these countries. Rather it
       is how to create that instability. Once with Daesh and once with
       the 2009 sedition (post-election riots in Iran) or the things
       they do in the region,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
       >
       > The Leader stressed that Iran stood against the US’ bid to
       create instability in the country.
       >
       > “In 2009, the US wanted to make Iran unstable. But that
       happened to themselves in 2020-21. You saw the people who
       breached the US Congress. The Americans sought to do the same in
       Iran. They wanted to create chaos and trigger a civil war,”
       Ayatollah Khamenei added.

       In other words, everything the U.S. has been perpetuating around
       the world has now fully blown back on the U.S. and it's
       citizens, with poor Americans caught in the fray. This is why
       you don't use strategies of fomenting discord in other countries
       in the first place, duh!!! But alas, the imbeciles are clearly
       in charge of the U.S. and simple logic obviously escapes them.
       Now all U.S. citizens get to reap what these morons have sown.

       The US economy lost 140,000 jobs in December. All of them were
       held by women
       --- Quote ---
       > A year ago, a rare thing happened to American women.
       > For three months, they held more jobs than men in the US
       economy — something that had only occurred one other time in
       history, during a short period in 2009 and early 2010.
       > Sure, there were still many other gender gaps: women were more
       likely than men to work part-time, for example, because of
       caregiving responsibilities at home, and even among full-time
       workers, they earned on average only 81 cents for every dollar
       of their male peers.
       > Nevertheless, women were making gradual gains.
       > The pandemic quickly changed that story. And now, it just got
       worse.
       > According to new data released Friday, employers cut 140,000
       jobs in December, signaling that the economic recovery from the
       coronavirus pandemic is backtracking. Digging deeper into the
       data also reveals a shocking gender gap: Women accounted for all
       the job losses, losing 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000.
       --- End Quote ---
       --- Quote ---
       > Meanwhile, a separate survey of households, which includes
       self-employed workers, showed an even wider gender disparity. It
       also highlighted another painful reality: Blacks and Latinas
       lost jobs in December, while White women made significant gains.
