Episode 472 – Better Late Than Never

More bad news for the Biden administration and even the media can’t hide it.

The Supreme Court is in a big hurry today.

And the Biden administration may be finally conceding to what we have been saying for the last year and a half.

 

Dismal…Again!

More bad news for Joe Biden. The jobs numbers came out for December 2021 and they were a huge disappointment. It was reported that 199,000 jobs were created. Economists expected 420,000 jobs were expected to be created. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.9%.

This is panic time for the administration because those numbers are really telling:

  • This was before the omicron variant became an issue in the United States. Economists think January is going to be worse because it will reflect the omicron outbreak.
  • The report does point out that people who have permanently left the workforce or who have been without work for more than 26 week has gone up. This will also artificially lower the unemployment rate.
  • November and December are times employment should have gone up because of all the temporary hiring that was done for the holiday shopping season. This will also affect the January jobs report as these temporary workers are laid off.
  • We still have rising interest rates in March to look forward to. That’s going to cause more job loss.

This is a very bad jobs report. Very bad. Even CNN, CNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post are saying this is bad.

But President Biden continues to push the “everything is awesome” narrative that even his allies are hard-pressed to buy. Listen:

I love his positive thinking but…no. This was a horrid report. There’s no way to spin this.

Yes, 6.4 million jobs were filled. I hate that Biden says he created jobs. He has never created a job in his worthless life, businesses create jobs. But we were in an artificial recession because of the China virus and no one worked in 2020. There should be 15 to 20 million jobs filled. There are close to 11 million jobs open. We are suffering from a supply crisis because no one wants to work. People aren’t going to back work.

And stop with the unemployment rate. That is a bad indicator of employment because there are too many variables that determine that.

CNBC has an idea of what’s going on.

This is from what Conservatives call the Biden Effect. What causes it?

High Inflation (high prices) + High Wages (caused by staffing shortages) + Heavy Regulation (mask and vax mandates) = Employment Stagnation

This is what’s happening and people are calling it out.

We can something to that formula. That’s the Fed raising interest rates in March is going to further hurt businesses and employment. The elections couldn’t come fast enough.

Big Day and They Know It

Speaking of regulations, the Biden vax mandate is in front of the Supreme Court, as I speak. I’m listening to it and it sounds promising. We’ll go over it Monday because the Supreme Court said they wanted a decision by later today or tomorrow.

So far, it sounds like this is going to be a 5-4 ruling. Mind you, they’re still arguing. I haven’t heard John Roberts or Stephen Breyer’s questions but I did hear Neil M. Gorsuch’s questions and he is definitely against them. It could go 6-3 and possibly, 7-2.

We’ll see.

It’s About Time

The title of this section should be “better late than never.” Actually, that’ll be the title of the podcast.

A report was released to the Biden administration stating that Biden needs to change his domestic policy on the China virus. In a nutshell, the report is saying what everyone has been saying for the last year and a half.

The New York Times reported:

“The authors are all big names in American medicine; several, including Dr. Luciana Borio, a former acting chief scientist at the Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. David Michaels, a former head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, have held high-ranking government positions. The driving force behind the articles is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist, medical ethicist and University of Pennsylvania professor who advised former President Barack Obama. They say the first thing the administration needs to do is take a broader vision, by recognizing that Covid-19 is here to stay. In one article, Dr. Emanuel and two co-authors — Michael T. Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease expert at New York University — pointedly note that in July, Mr. Biden proclaimed that ‘we’ve gained the upper hand against this virus,’ which in retrospect was clearly not the case.”

Notice that the people who wanted the most mandates are now changing their position? The New York Times is a far Leftist publication and has been touting mandates since the beginning. I guess the “reporters” discovered how awesome Florida is and want the same thing in New York.

By the way, to the New York Times…duh! This virus is never going away. We’re going to have to deal with it. This is a tough position to take considering Biden said he was going to get rid of the virus.

The report stated:

“To be better prepared for inevitable outbreaks, they suggest that the administration lay out goals and specific benchmarks, including what number of hospitalizations and deaths from respiratory viruses, including the coronavirus, that should trigger emergency measures. The authors say the administration needs to acknowledge that Omicron may not mark the end of the pandemic — and to plan for a future that they concede is unknowable. They also make clear that the current rate of Covid hospitalizations and deaths is unacceptably high.”

In other words, let’s not worry about the number of infections. Let’s worry about hospitalizations and deaths. Again…duh.

Omicron is not leading to a large number of deaths or hospitalizations. Joe Biden is now beginning to admit this. He’s acknowledged that there is no federal solution and admitted today that we may have to live with this thing.

The pandemic is over. Time to stop all these vax and mask mandates.
