Biden Insists April’s Dismal Jobs Report Shows U.S. Economy is on the ‘Right Track’

Posted by Mary Chastain on May 07, 2021 38 Comments

The April jobs report showed the U.S. added only 266,000 jobs during the month and the unemployment ticked up to 6.1%. Economists are usually off the mark, but holy cow. They predicted 978,000 job growth and unemployment of 5.8%. I have never seen such a huge difference between prediction and numbers.

Joe Biden’s Presidency is Already Worse Than Imagined

Posted by Mike LaChance on January 29, 2021 46 Comments

Joe Biden has been president for a little over two weeks, and it already feels like six months. I knew that when Democrats and the media kept claiming that Biden would return to normalcy, it was a lie, but I didn't realize how bad it would be. It's a disaster on multiple levels.
