Episode 358 – What Do You Expect from a Swamp but Stagnation

The job numbers are in and they ain’t great.

Fauci is in some trouble.

And AOC is still an idiot.

 

The Numbers Are In

The jobs report is in for May and, though better, is still disappointing:

  • Employers added 559,000 jobs in May.
  • The target was 650,000 jobs. That is down from 978,000 expected jobs in April.
  • The unemployment rate, meanwhile, declined 0.3 percentage points to 5.8%.
  • Most of the jobs gains were in the entertainment and hospitality industries.
  • The construction sector lost 20,000 jobs in May and has 220,000 fewer workers as a result of the pandemic.
  • U.S. companies have had a difficult time finding workers as a supplemental unemployment benefit of an extra $300 per week has encouraged many to stay home. At least 25 states have announced plans to end the benefits earlier than their September expiration.
  • The labor force participation rate was little changed at 61.6% and has remained between 61.4% and 61.7% since last June. The reading was 1.7 percentage points below where it was in February 2020.
  • Economists say the labor market’s recovery could continue to run below its potential until the benefits are phased out.

 

The BS is Done!

Tony Faves might be in some trouble. Thanks to a FOIA request from Buzzfeed, thousands of e-mails have been released between Fauci and other doctors including ones from China.

Oops!

This is a big deal because he has been in front of Congress over the last year and it looks like he has been lying. When asked about the new revaluations, Rand Paul, Fauci’s main competitor and a doctor himself, simply said, “I told you.”

Here’s the Scoop:

  • Fauci was told that this Virus was discovered as early as September of 2019.
  • Fauci knew that China was lying about the infection and death numbers in China in January, 2020.
  • Fauci knew that the WHO might have been wrong about how the virus was transmitted.
  • Fauci was told as early as March 2020 that the virus was Created in a Chinese lab, probably the Wuhan Virology Lab.
  • He knew there was gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab.
  • Finally, Fauci knew that the United States has been financing this Chinese lab through a grant given by a partner lab.
  • Fauci actually had a secret conference call to discuss the situation and compare notes.

I haven’t read all the e-mails. There’s a ton of them. I only read the ones that were deemed relevant. What I learned:

  • Tony Fauci was depended upon to bury this whole thing. BY China, the CDC and the WHO.
  • Tony Fauci was trying to hide the funding the NIH, the organization he leads, to the Chinese government.
  • Tony Fauci lied about it all.

Fauci is all over the map on this. He can’t remember E-mails, some were too long and he didn’t read them. But his big excuse seems to be the fragility of China. Listen:

The media is hitting this but only half-heartedly and they are never pushing back against him.

The White House is also kind of dismissing these E-mails. Jen Psaki, in a press conference, has decided that this is no big deal and Fauci is still awesome:

It amazes me how everyone is running away from China.

Just Dumb

AOC…Of Course

We haven’t talked about the stupid thing AOC has said recently. What a week. Maybe she is getting smarter, you may ask. Nope. Dumb as ever.

Her first misstep, which she wants to implement of policy, was so bad that Chuck Schumer, who was standing next to her, looked like he ate a lemon. She believes that we could lower crime by getting rid of jails and prisons. Listen:

This is great! New York is falling apart because of high taxes and crime and what does AOC want to do? She wants to let out more criminals. Yeah, this isn’t working in New York. You know who is saying that? New Yorkers. They are either leaving the state or voting for more moderate candidate.

The mayoral race has a former cop, running as a moderate Democrat with a hard nose crime policy and Andrew Yang, who is a moderate Democrat who also does not like the defund the police movement. One of those is going to win because the rest are Leftists that are still pushing the all the policies that have destroyed New York.

By the way, 86% of New Yorkers believe that the police should not be defunded or the budget should be increased.

Keep going AOC! Your policies will kill the Democrat party.

But that wasn’t the only dumb thing she did.

On Twitter, she made a post:

She got ravaged on Twitter for posting that. She actually was blaming Trump because her grandmother was living in a crappy home. I’m not going to read the posts because they are all pretty much the same:

  • She makes $174,000 a year and is worth almost a million dollars. She’s single with no children or expenses. Why couldn’t she have helped her grandmother?
  • AOC wears designer, expensive suits and owns a Tesla.
  • That hurricane happened almost four years ago. So grandma was living like this for three years ago. So, in all that time, she never helped out her grandmother?
  • Trump did send Puerto Rico money, supplies and military support. The mayor of Puerto Rico got recalled and replaced by a conservative mayor because of corruption. Gee, I wonder where everything Trump sent went?
  • If she is not going to sacrifice, why should anyone else? Her grandmother can’t depend on her rich granddaughter, why expect help for the government? That’s because the government is suppose to be the head of the family.

Yeah she got pillaged online. She ended up issuing a follow tweet:

Now, before you worry about AOC’s mental health, don’t worry. Thank God for the January 6th riot. You know, the one that she was almost a mile a way from and was in no danger whatsoever. Yeah, she’s said she is seeing a mental health care professional about it because it was so traumatizing. Maybe she can bring up some new issues to him.

Ugh!

How do people with so little mental and emotional constitution get into office and use that as a selling point for them staying in office. Incredible.

Something Good From TikTok

This is Dani Lass on TikTok with a beautiful song about her celebrating freedom. It is rare that I find something good on TikTok because it is evil. But this is gorgeous.
