Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

The KP.3 variant is taking over in the US, with 2 key mutations beyond JN.1 (F456L and Q493E) at the same time FDA has planned for JN.1 to be the target of the new Covid booster in September. Big mismatch and bad call.

Here it is again--journalists characterizing critics as "activists"--in a report on fighting in the NY Guild between said activists and those who wear the cloak of "independence."
"The Guild’s leaders 'have forgotten that we are a union for journalists, not activists.'"

#Trump Tues night on the conservative network #Newsmax:
“I said, ‘Wouldn’t it really be bad? … wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife & the fmr secretary of state — think of it, the fmr secretary of state — but the president’s wife into #jail? … But they want to do it … So, you know, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, & it’s very possible that it’s going to HAVE TO HAPPEN to them.”

As @davidfolkenflik has pointed out the Washington Post, the WSJ, Bloomberg News, CNN are all run by British CEOs now. We should be asking tough and loud questions about why in a country brimming with talented journalistic & business leaders our major news outlets feel compelled to hire leaders from outside the country.
