AP Photo/Evan Vucci The White House is reeling after yet another sub-par jobs report dropped this week. Having previously missed expectations by a whopping 700,000 in April, they managed to only come in at around 100,000 under in May; though, the big drop in the projection by the “experts” helped that equation (the projection 1,000,000 created in April vs. 650,000 for May).

But White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain wants you to know that Joe Biden is doing so much better than the bad orange man. If you didn’t criticize Trump when he created 150,000 new jobs a month in his first four months, what’s your critique of @potus when he’s added 530,000 jobs a month his first four months? https://t.co/QvrCufc6Ek — Ronald Klain (@WHCOS) June 5, 2021 It’s Saturday, so I’m going weapons-free on gif usage.

The number of jobs added in a month being good or bad is completely dependent on the underlying condition of the economy.

Further, employment is not the chief factor in judging how well an economy is or isn’t doing. Barack Obama had good employment numbers the last year or so of his presidency, but those came with meager growth and wage stagnation. Only after Trump booted a lot of the regulatory empire did things really take off for the American people. Now, those regulations are […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
