A chorus of staffers and CEOs had to beg Trump not to go through with it
:
A recently appointed Trump Labor Department official with a history of advancing controversial conservative and faith-based causes in court has resigned after revelations that he wrote a 2016 Facebook post suggesting the Jewish-controlled media “protects their own.
In a statement, Olson—who made a name for himself in Houston challenging the rights of same-sex couples, urging the Supreme Court to invalidate the Obama administration’s policy of giving some illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship, and trying to block defrauded customers from receiving a $10 million settlement from Target—told Bloomberg that he was totally kidding about Jews controlling the media.

Report: More Americans Putting Off Retirement Until Final Few Moments Before DeathWASHINGTON—According to a report released Monday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, financial concerns are prompting a growing number of Americans to delay retirement until the very last seconds of their lives. “Given economic conditions over the past decade, we have seen more and more middle-class citizens waiting until their final handful of breaths to step down from their careers,” said Bureau spokesperson Dolores Snyder, who told reporters that older Americans are now enjoying retired life for half an hour on average, typically long enough to have a pleasant conversation with a loved one or get started on a crossword puzzle. “Retirement’s different for everyone—some people may finish up working and then live off Social Security benefits for a few moments before passing on, while others might be able to lead active retired lives that last an entire afternoon. After a lifetime of working tirelessly to support themselves and their families, being able to enjoy several dozen seconds of retirement is a much-needed reward for most Americans.” Snyder added that to live comfortably in retirement, an increasing number of retirees are opting to supplement their income during their final few moments on earth with part-time jobs.
