For the second quarter in a row, a “strong jobs report” was trumpeted from the rooftops by the Biden media while the president’s surrogates spiked footballs on cable news, and then quietly, the reports were revised down, with CNBC reporting the news that the White House released on the Friday afternoon before Labor Day, “Unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 3.8% in August as payrolls increased by 187,000….up significantly from July and the highest since February 2022. The “real” unemployment rate jumped to 7.1%.”
What an Orwellian shell game these crooks are playing with our economy and our country. Where is that impeachment, Mr. Speaker? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Troubling signs continue to emerge showing that the American electorate is souring on a second term for President Biden. A recent Associated Press/NORC poll found that 77% of voters think he’s too old to serve again, including 69% of Democrats. These concerns are driven largely by Biden’s unsteady performance and increasing frailties.
As informed political observers know, in order to ward off criticism over Biden’s advanced age and obvious decline, Team Biden and their coat holders in the liberal media like to publicly portray Biden as vigorous and engaged. To drive this narrative home, Biden’s handlers like to show him riding his beloved Trek FX hybrid bike, the very same one he embarrassingly fell off of during a transparently staged photo-op in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware last year.
One thing has become abundantly clear. Biden is far more adept at peddling influence than he is at pedaling bicycles.

Once again, I am disappointed with the Red Sox this season (“Kick in the gut,” 8/31/23). I am curious to see if the Red Sox finally will fire the self-confessed cheater or will they continue to be “politically correct” and keep Alex Cora.
Here is a novel thought, get a manager who will do a good job, or are we doomed to another 86-year curse because management cares more about perception than winning. My father always said cheaters never prosper but then again he never met the Red Sox management and Alex Cora.

Another great column by Howie Carr (Aug. 27) on Trump’s arrest and mug shot. If the latest Democratic banana republic tactic of arresting the leading political rival on questionable charges actually works, America will never be the same. The best way to forever discourage this type of election interference is for voters to rise up against it and elect Trump in an overwhelming landslide!

With all the talk from Dmitry Medvedev of Russia about using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Russia should be told now by NATO that the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine will be considered an attack upon NATO member countries. Why? Because the radiation drift will spread amongst adjacent NATO member countries. It is important to let Russia and the world know now, so that Russia can decide if they want a war with NATO. Remember, Putin has nothing to lose.
