Inside Today's Disastrous Jobs Report: 670K Full-Time Jobs Lost In 2 Months Vs 1 Million Part-Time Surge; Worst Unadjusted August Payrolls Since Great Recession

Well, one look at this month's adjustment and it's literally a shocker: you will not hear anyone from the Biden admin or associated economist cheerleaders mention this, but the BLS reported that in August the number of full-time jobs dropped again, sliding by 85K to 134.2 million, and followed the whopping 585K plunge in July which brings the two-month total drop in full-time jobs to a whopping 670K, the biggest 2-month plunge since the covid lockdowns in early 2020 when 12.5 million full-time jobs were lost in one month!

Biden’s Border Crisis Fuels Massive Spike In Retail Crime   Why the sudden explosion in organized retail crime? When it covers this issue at all, the mainstream press usually just throws up its hands, or says retailers are exaggerating the problem.

But could it have anything to do with the fact that Biden opened the border and let millions of illegal immigrants flood into the country?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement  (ICE) sees a connection. In a statement released last June, it said: “Recent investigations have also identified organized retail crime schemes exploiting undocumented migrants forced to steal goods to pay back ‘coyotes’ who smuggle them across international borders.”

The Biggest Missed Story of the 21st Century

Here it is: the biggest missed story of this century is the incredible dumbing down of the American public, to the point where a cripplingly large portion of the adult population is no longer willing or able to exercise independent critical thinking in order to take decisive action on a wide range of issues that shape the direction of our economy, culture, and personal freedoms.  Indeed, too lazy and unmotivated to analyze readily available, credible data, far too many people have ceded their personal independence to government dictates — dictates clearly designed to increase government control over the population, rather than having been put in place for the genuine good of the people.

From One Unapologetic Media Hoax to the Next

Now we are enmeshed in at least four court trials on cooked-up charges that could as easily apply to a host of Democrats as to Trump.

For the last eight years, a discredited media has never expressed remorse for any of the damage they did to the country. And they will not again, when their latest mythological indictments are eventually exposed.

Anger Erupts After Biden DOJ Gets 5 Pro-Life Activists Convicted, Thrown In Jail...They each face 11 years behind bars and a $350,000 fine

“From the beginning, this trial has been a sham with a completely biased pro-abortion judge who has made a mockery of our justice system,” Live Action founder Lila Rose said in a statement. “This decision will be appealed, and we demand it be overturned. These activists are heroes, and the Department of Justice has acted capriciously and illegitimately.”

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Now Supports Abortions Up to Birth  Yesterday, top leaders of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and Society of Family Planning penned an op-ed in The Washington Post and called for honesty in the abortion debate. They called for abortion on demand, any time for any reason. They state that abortions “must be available without restrictions, without limitations and without barriers.”

UK pedophile, busted as a man, arrives at sentencing as a woman

The former tree surgeon was fully decked out in pink — including a hair clip, T-shirt, shorts and nail polish — for the hearing at Southampton Crown Court, the UK paper said.

When arrested, Carter had “wrestled” with police to try to stop them from seizing a phone that had 11 indecent photos of children. Two matched the most serious category in such cases, the UK paper said, without elaborating.

Canadian MP says unvaxxed woman who died after being denied organ transplant deserved her fate  "There is no rational reason for denying the unvaccinated an organ transplant; it's just more bureaucratic inertia from the public health Gestapo," wrote Human Events columnist David Krayden. "There is growing evidence that the vaccinated are in greater danger of sudden death than those who resisted the monumental pressure to roll the dice and get the [vaccine]."
