The September data has arrived & I just updated my worksheet.

September 2024 vs 2025

Air Travel
All Int'l: down 7.0% (1.443M to 1.341M)

Split:
US only: down 27.1% (510K to 372K)
Others: UP 3.9% (933K to 969K)

Vehicle Travel
Down 35.5% (2.055M to 1.326M)

Can you say OUCH to US Tourism? Yup.

Trevor Foster @darthfos.bsky.social · 8d

Teaser: Aug numbers & I'll add Sep once the data tables update:

Air Travel:
All Int'l: down 4.1% (1.693M to 1.623M)

Split:
US Only: down 25.4% (567K to 423K)
Others: UP 6.6% (1.126M to 1.200M)

So 144K less people went to the US & 74K more people went elsewhere. Domestic travel is booming as well.

I'll be making charts but check out this data.

International Air Travel - Returning Canadian residents
July 2024 vs 2025

All Int'l : down 5.3% (1.464M to 1.387M)

Split:
US Only: down 25.8% (517K to 384K)
Others: up 5.9% (947K to 1,003K)

Canadian's are still travelling, just not to the US.

I'll also bet a lot of those vehicles are not properly insured for their current use.

Many look to be private vehicles & probably don't have proper insurance to be used as law enforcement / commercial vehicles.

This is stupidity beyond comprehension.

RFKovid-25 Jr. is the new plague & the US will be ground zero for preventable outbreaks of who-knows-what since the US CDC will now be completely useless.

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 1h

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

She was next to Bronzolini at the US Open final a month ago... there she is next to Bullshit Barbie & AG Blondi:

A situation made worse by the fact the US Government has completely destroyed the Federal programs that normally supply those food banks:

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

Bronzolini continues to make Congress irrelevant by bypassing them to do whatever he wants.

R's blocked the D's standalone military funding bill hoping they could use that as leverage to push their agenda.

Bronzolini just bigfooted their plans & continues to consolidate power into the Executive.

Trump says he’s ordered Hegseth to pay the troops during the government shutdown.

“We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.”

Trump: Chuck Schumer recently said, "Every day gets better" during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of
"Leader" Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS. I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown. The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The trend I keep seeing is that a lot of the arrests all seem to happen with “Agents” driving what appear to be just their own personal vehicles.

I’ll bet none of them have properly insured their vehicles for commercial / law-enforcement use coverage & it’s still set as personal to-from work use.

Lindsey Halligan, the attorney selected by Donald Trump to bring criminal charges against James Comey, has never prosecuted a case.

But, like Trump, she did get her start in reality TV — with a brief cameo on South Beach Tow.

Here is Halligan’s newly resurfaced TV moment:

Halligan is going to have a very short career as a prosecutor.

Miller is most likely curating videos & feeding specific garbage for Dear Leader to watch. That’s why they had the influencer idiots at the White House pretending to be Antifa experts.

It’s a coordinated media campaign to create & present garbage content to Dear Leader & drive Miller’s agenda.

Trevor Foster @darthfos.bsky.social · 4h

This evil minion is pushing the government policies.

The true evil behind ICE & the fascist policies is the Bald Daywalker (Miller). He is the true Grima Wormtongue Nosferatu darkness telling the demented out-of-touch & weak “President” Bronzolini the lies he acts upon.

These two are in charge.

People around the world will soon have to get a ton of immunizations before they can safely enter the US before too long.

This is shortsighted & incredibly stupid. Those people can’t just be quickly replaced after they realize “oops”.

Lena Sun @lenasun.bsky.social · 8h

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

So, did Cosplay Kristi & her Moron Militia finish painting the US/Mexico border wall black?

I’m actually kind of curious about that epic piece of idiocy.

Lev has been on the money with a lot of their plans & few have been listening to his warnings.

The Bald Daywalker (Miller) is the one to watch as he’s the one that is running the evil empire in the background while the demented Bronzolini focuses on his pet projects & money scams.

The enshitification of media continues thanks to AI garbage being created & spread.

The corrupt administration loves their AI so watch them to push “Antifa” videos via their influencer army during the Oct 18 No Kings rally. They will be coordinating a false media blitz.

Trevor Foster @darthfos.bsky.social · 17h

Scary thought:

He's been holding back on his worst impulses in the desire to win that Nobel Peace Prize which he never was going to win.

Now that it's not on his radar anymore... he will become untethered & even worse than he has been. He will also let Miller move forward on more aggressive BS.

They hop him up on some go-go meds, GriMiller Wormtongue feeds him his dose of alternate reality videos & news, he gets his next speech to ramble about & then they “Weekend at Bernie’s” his ass to the podium.

He’s just a living autopen.
