It is Time to be a Prick

…because they are all dicks.
Lies! Lies! Lies! All they do is lie. The administration’s blatant lie, embodied in today’s jobs report is just the latest testament to how far they will go to hide the truth. Too bad Pete Navarro was not briefed on this strategy in advanced. The stock market while initially accepting this report as the truth is now having second thoughts. Trump was doing better during the last government shutdown when it elected to use that shutdown as an excuse for not reporting the facts. Instead, now they are just making them up to fit their preferred narratives.

I must admit that I was initially fooled by this “quote”. I thought that it was real. It wasn’t until I googled it using AI that I discovered its true origins. How’s that for an oxymoron. While not a true quote it is a close paraphrasing of what she actually said. Today, AG Bondi appeared before Congress. I could say to testify, except that she did everything but. She lied, argued, delayed, evaded, displayed faux outrage and in general acted like an ass. Her appearance today comes on the heels of yesterday’s debacle, where a Federal grand jury refused to indite six Democrats on DOJ’s trumped-up charges, resulting from their call for US military personnel to heed the Constitution.
Meanwhile, just this week the original count of 38,000 mentions of Trump in the heavily redacted Epstein files has ballooned this week to over a million in the latest unredacted version. That is a twenty-six-fold increase. If just his name can multiply like that, what about his many misdeeds? Release the Epstein files!

Black Wednesday?

This morning Peter Navarro, Trump’s erstwhile trade advisor cautioned us about the expected jobs report that comes out tomorrow, “We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like. Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we’re deporting millions of illegals out of the job market.” In reality less than 250,000 people have been deported so far.
I think that the shenanigans that have been passed off as economic policy by this administration are beginning to come home to roost. After a year of Taco’s on-again/off-again tariffs it is a wonder that we are not in worst shape. Just this week he announced ownership of the so called “Trump economy.” This hopefully is the last time he will blame everything on Biden, but I doubt it.
Foreshadowing, as Navarro has done, tomorrow’s jobs report is illegal, but how can you expect a convict, working in a felonious crime family to stop criming. Anyway, I got paid. I made $14.20 for last month’s jury duty, eleven dollars a day plus travel peridium. Most of the job cuts are expected in healthcare, once a shining beacon, but with the last year’s cuts to Medicaid, now not so much.
Whatever the number will be, they have got to be bad. Else why risk be sent back to jail. The question is how bad will they be? It is hard to say, what with the way that they have been cooking the books since last September. So much faith has been placed into the Dow, what with its current record high that no thought is given to how quickly its edifice can collapse. What goes up, comes down.

Change in the Weather

All this year, we have suffered both extreme cold and too much snow. Recently, the groundhog predicted that more of the same was also in store. However, our current ten-day forecast shows highs in the fifties and the sixties. Could this forecast signal the end of winter? This seems too good to be true, because in ten days we will leave town and fly to California, sunny California. However, this same forecaster offers a very rainy prediction over the next ten days for where we are going. Into each life a little rain must fall, but the predicted amounts look more like a deluge. But maybe the rain is just another sign of spring.
