The jobs report is out and it is not good news to the flailing Biden campaign.
The Left has found a new reason to riot. Coincidentally, it is right before the elections again.
And prepare yourself for the most confusing story of the day.
Bad News, Sort Of!
According to the New York Times:
Employers added 150,000 jobs in October on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Labor Department said on Friday.
The increase was slightly below what economists had forecast, but not too different from the sort of monthly jobs growth the U.S. economy was experiencing prepandemic.
The unemployment rate, based on a survey of households, ticked up to 3.9 percent from 3.8 percent in September. It has been below 4 percent for nearly two years, a stretch not achieved since the late 1960s.
Figures for August and September were revised downward by a total of more than 100,000 from earlier reports. The surprisingly strong September gain, initially reported as 336,000, was restated as 297,000 and will be revised again next month.

You Can Tell an Election is Coming
According to the Post Millennial:
An anti-Israel protest in Washington, DC saw agitators and demonstrators scale the White House fence, wave the Palestinian flag, and shout “intifada.”
Thousands of people attended the protest to demand that the US not support Israel and advocate for a ceasefire in the war against Palestinian terror group Hamas. “Free free Palestine” they chanted.
Crowds of people swarmed in Freedom Plaza near the National Mall. Many had been bussed in my progressive groups and groups that specialize in advocacy for Arabs and those from the Middle East.
Activists wore keffiyahs, carried signs, and chanted for the death of Israel. “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide,” they chanted.
Palestinian flags and signs were draped across statues of American patriots.
Of Course, Barrack Weighed In
According to the Post Milennial:
On Saturday, former President Barack Obama said that “nobody’s hands are clean,” when it comes to the war between Israel and Hamas that began after the organization’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack on the Jewish nation.
In a promotional clip with the Pod Save America podcast, the former president refused to take sides in the conflict. He condemned Hamas for its actions, but added that “what is happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”
This Isn’t at All Insane
According to the Daily Mail:
An author has come out as a transgender man after his husband transitioned from male to female – and the couple now live in a four-way relationship with their trans lovers.
Rowan Jette Knox, formerly known as Amanda Jette Knox, announced on his social media in August that he was ‘re-introducing’ himself as a trans man.
The Toronto-based writer and activist, who started taking testosterone earlier this week, follows in the footsteps of his husband-turned-wife and son-turned-daughter.
Knox’s wife Zoe was previously known as Mark but came out as transgender in July 2015, after 19 years of marriage.
The pair’s daughter Alexis revealed that she was transgender in early 2014.
Rowan says he too was born in the wrong body, but that it took a long time to come to terms with his true gender.
Rowan and Zoe live with their transgender partners Dani and Dame in the same Toronto house. Dani and Dame are themselves a couple.
Rowan describes the unusual relationship as a ‘polycule.’ He previously shared his delight at realizing he was non-binary before coming out as transgender and told PinkNews: ‘Trans joy is infectious’.
In a post to his Instagram account, the writer said: ‘It is with joy, relief, and a fair amount of anxiety that I am re-introducing myself to you as Rowan Jette Knox.
‘I am a trans man, am medically transitioning, and will be exclusively using he/him pronouns going forward.
‘I’ve known this is who I am for a long time now, but I had to work up the courage to say it out loud.’
‘It took months of introspection therapy, long chats with loved ones, plenty of tears, and pushing through a lot of fear and denial to get here.’
In an article published late last month, Knox wrote that he and Zoe had started a polyamorous relationship with another transgender couple named Dani and Dame.
Knox wrote about first meeting Dani last year after reaching out to her to talk about an experience she had.
According to Knox, the two ‘bonded immediately in a way I rarely do these days’ before deciding they had fallen in love.
