He warmly encouraged the soldiers who are devotedly fulfilling their sacred duty with the will to record only the brilliant and victorious military achievements in the history of the proud unit with legendary heroic tales, and in the colours of glory and had a photo taken with them, which will go down forever in the history of army building.

On the same day, he had a significant photo taken with the officers and men of the headquarters in commemoration of his visit to the large combined unit.

He expressed expectation and belief that all the service personnel of the large combined unit would more firmly prepare themselves to be the honourable guards and the ranks of point-men of the Republic with their bold heroism, strong mettle and matchless fighting spirit as their peculiar features.

Even after taking into account all the anti-worker policies perpetuated by the bourgeoisie – I have got to say that many in this new generation are nothing but selfish, self-hating, pampered, and self-indulgent scum. Yes – the scum of the earth – but without the balls ever to do anything to rectify the mess they represent. There is no equivalent of the French Foreign Legion for these deficients – because its “foreign” – and they do not like foreign things. This degenerate scum could not discipline themselves even if their lives depended upon it. There’s no point conscripting these morons as they would weaken any national army. These degenerates would simply look messy when they fall down in a disorganised heap – blaming everyone else for the problems they themselves are creating.

Analysis by the U.S. think tank Center on Budget and Policy Priorities indicates that about 1.2 million households, or nearly 5 million people — roughly 1 in nine SNAP recipients — will receive zero benefits because their normal benefit amounts fall below the planned benefit reduction.

Apryl told Xinhua that, as a single mother, she is eligible for the SNAP, but she is concerned that her payments may not arrive on time as usual. “That would be more money that I have to put out into the grocery store, which is very expensive; that takes money from bills that I already have or something else I have to do for my kid,” she said.

“I think this current episode of punishing or abusing the poor … is yet another example of what has been a long-term truth about this country: how the poor have frequently been injured or deprived because of the contempt of those who are either wealthier and/or in power,” said Greg Cusack, a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives.

US: Warning as Government Shutdown Deepens Impact on Travel & Livelihoods! (8.11.2025)

Baker noted that the U.S. has experienced shutdowns in the past decades, during which both parties had real differences but they also recognized the need for compromise. However, in this case, “that recognition does not seem to be there with the Trump administration and the Republicans.”

In his view, the Republicans “are mostly to blame in that they have not approached the deadlock in good faith”.

In order to streamline government and expand its own executive power, the U.S. administration wanted to use the “government shutdown” to advance large-scale layoffs of federal employees and closure of agencies related to the Democrats, according to U.S. media.

The Democrats also have their own calculations. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) noted the standoff has become a messaging battle, with each party betting the public will blame the other.

US: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.

The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.

While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.

The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.
