The financial punditry class are befuddled, confused and perplexed. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released the November jobs report [data here] showing a six figure miss from expectations.  Economists were expecting around 535,000 additional jobs; however, the U.S. added only 210,000 jobs according to the new data.

The situation itself is not that difficult to understand when you look at Main Street.  However, so many of the professional punditry class are confused because they only focus on the Wall Street economy, their only prism of reference for the last several decades.

Americans are preparing, cutting back and hunkering down from the Hurricane that is Joe Biden’s inflation.

Inside the jobs numbers, you will note the areas where consumer spending contraction first hits: retail, luxury, leisure and hospitality, is the area where November employment was flat or jobs were lost.   DUH!

The ‘retail sector‘ lost 20,000 jobs in November.  Think about that.  What usually happens in November?  People are hired to handle holiday seasonal shopping…. but they weren’t… why not?  The professional economic punditry cannot figure it out, so they avoid those questions entirely.  Those questions hold the key to unlocking the understanding.  Does the “pretending not to know things” ring familiar?

The damn jobs report is simply reflecting how Main Street USA workers, consumers, spenders and survivors live when gasoline, energy and food costs necessarily skyrocket.  The November employment results are a reflection of the blue collar prepper mindset.  This is not hard to figure out.   As long as inflation continues to hit items that cannot be avoided, at a level that is two to five times the rate of wage growth, decisions are made that are based on checkbook economics.

The cognitive dissonance is quite remarkable look:

If you were still on the fence about Omicron being created/used specifically because the people behind Biden were worried about gas prices {Go Deep}, you can quit the straddle.

Energy inflation overall, and gasoline inflation specifically, is the Build Back Better communists’ Achilles heel.  The Biden administration is ideologically committed to climate change policy and as a result they have no supply-side tools to stop gasoline prices from necessarily skyrocketing.  They desperately need the fear of Omicron to shut down the demand side.

Ten days ago the communists said they were releasing 55 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve {Go Deep}, approximately a three day supply of oil given the current level of demand.  Today the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) laughably claim victory over a two cent drop in gasoline price.  Worse still is the gaslighting graph they use to show a downward trajectory on price:

The Y-axis is in increments of half a cent.  The X-axis is showing six days of impact.

Yes, gasoline fell from $3.39/gal to $3.38/gal in the six days after the strategic petroleum reserve release.  We are spared a single penny per gallon in gas price.

Even the leftist media recognize this type of propaganda only makes Democrats look more stupid. A longer review of the Joe Biden price for Gasoline puts that six day Democrat graph into perspective:

Author and journalist Lee Smith pens a seminal outline showcasing the media’s role in creating the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory:

“A comparison of the media’s role in the two biggest political scandals of the past half-century is worth the time of anyone who cares about what the next decade or so of American public life is going to look and sound like.”….

Yesterday the White House occupant equivocated any current supply chain shortages to the 1980’s Christmas shortage of Cabbage Patch dolls {link}.  According to the White House narrative there are no shortages of essential products other than a few hard to find non-essential toys.

Obviously, that level of executive office propaganda is intended to gaslight a national audience into questioning themselves when they see shortages of highly consumable products like pet food and grocery store items.  Unfortunately for the White House the supply chain issues are of such widespread frequency even the allied narrative engineers cannot ignore them.   NBC reported that chicken tenders are “in short supply” at stores and restaurants as President Joe Biden’s supply chain crisis persists, during a segment on NBC’s “Today”  on 12/2/2021.

Strange how there’s no shortage of Marijuana in the supply chain…. And no, you are not crazy if you notice these things.

Earlier today, the White House occupant read a new script put into his teleprompter.  The purpose of the script is to outline a new set of federal actions to combat COVID-19 [WH Readout Here].  Within the script prepared for him, the authors noted a new treatment approach that is identical to the COVID mitigation plan put into place by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Biden is proposing federal rapid response teams to set up regional sites where monoclonal antibody treatments can be delivered by outpatient staff.  The quick response teams and regional monoclonal antibody treatment sites have been in place in Florida for almost eight months.  During his script reading, the White House occupant did not want to give credit to the DeSantis approach, but the federal mitigation protocol is identical.  WATCH:

Not noted in the White House outline, but noted in the background phone call yesterday {link}, there is a slightly revealing new bribery policy to actually pay physicians to push vaccines into children through the use of Medicaid and CHIP funds:  “Medicaid and CHIP — the Children’s Health Insurance Program — will start paying healthcare providers to talk to families about the importance of getting their kids vaccinated.”  {link}

The federal government really wants kids to get the jabs, and HHS is now willing to pay doctors for the specific time they spend pushing the propaganda.  This is anecdotal, but when inquires were made about this approach to people familiar with the bureaucracy of the medicaid program, one explanation for the federal push on children was explained this way.   There are immediate adverse outcomes from the vaccine for a high number of specific age-groups.  The risk within the aggregate adverse outcome statistic can be mitigated (ie lowered) by expanding the total number of vaccinations using age groups with less likelihood of immediate adverse outcomes.

The dramatic and cinematic promotional effort is so over the top as George Stephanopoulos plays the role of James Lipton interviewing Alec Baldwin in the grand performance of “I didn’t pull the trigger, no, no, no… never” the revolver just went off all by itself.  WATCH:

The cinematic effort by ABC here is, excuse the pun, likely to backfire.  It’s just perverse, twisted and creepy, considering that someone died.

Whoever gave Baldwin the advice to do this was just playing to his own vanity.   The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity.  That reality has been the Achilles heel of professional con-artists and leftists for decades; and thankfully, most people have retained that instinct.

At some point you have to wonder if the Obama team behind the scenes is intentionally putting words in Biden’s teleprompter because they want him to be mocked in public.

Earlier today Joe Biden compared the shortage of essential products, pet foods, raw materials, petroleum products and chemicals in the U.S. (due to his self-inflicted energy policy) to the shortage of Cabbage Patch dolls in the 1980’s.  Seriously, you really cannot make this stuff up. WATCH:

I would hazard a guess the speechwriters debated using Tickle Me Elmo as an example, and then decided it was a just a smidge too far.

Good grief, this is enough to really make you wonder….  How long?

Sometimes the truth is hard to spot.  It’s like that little out of place thing peeking out from under the boulder of lies atop it.  Everyone focuses on the boulder, because it was purposefully placed there to get attention.  However, every once in a while someone -usually a new voice in the crowd- notices that little part they didn’t quite cover up well enough, and that is when you find out the truth.

Anthony Fauci appeared today at the White House briefing room to promote the Omicron fear narrative.  When building narratives, the timing of things is important.  Fauci was announcing the first case of the Omicron variant in California, that’s the boulder.  However, one of the usually silent and compliant journalists from the African news bureau had this pesky question (video at 16:50 prompted):

QUESTION: “Dr. Fauci, with all due respect, there’s zero case of COVID variant, of Omicron case, in Zimbabwe, in Namibia, in Lesotho, in Mozambique, what justifies imposing a travel ban on countries that have zero cases of the Omicron variant?”

FAUCI: “um,… er,… um,… You know, that’s a very good question, an important question, and, and we did struggle with that”….

… AND he never answered the question, because it wasn’t supposed to be asked.  No one was supposed to notice that little irreconcilable factoid highlighting how the Omicron fear boulder is a purposeful fraud.  They built this fear narrative called “Omicron” out of nothing, for a specific purpose.

The reporter wanted to push the issue, but the White House quickly interceded.   Funny that.

There has been a lot of chatter behind a Washington Post report about the White House planning to introduce new COVID travel and quarantine restrictions tomorrow (Thursday).  However, tuning out the noise – remember which agency of the Fourth Branch uses the Washington Post and things make sense.

The problem for the White House is the public reaction to the new COVID variant Omicron did not meet their expectations.

The White House needs more concern, more fear, more panic to enhance their larger objective {Go Deep}.  The Biden team really need Omicron fear to permeate the American psyche, in order to achieve the Build Back Better agenda.  They desperately need it.

If people just shake it off and go about living their lives, the White House will be facing an electorate angry about inflation; that’s a problem.

The Washington Post report is framed around new international travel restrictions, increased COVID testing, and quarantine mandates as an outcome of the Omicron variant arrival.  However, given the nature of the 48 hour advanced notice provided to The WaPo, it’s likely the announcement tomorrow will contain the change that all vaccine advocates have been demanding, mandatory vaccination prior to any domestic airline travel.  Forcing domestic airline travelers to prove their vaccinated status has been a goal of the vaccine media for several months.

The worker vaccine mandate was unconstitutional federal overreach; the Biden administration knew that in advance and did it anyway because the vaccine isn’t really the end goal, it’s just a tool.  An airline traveler vaccine mandate would be similar federal overreach, and also likely to lose in court; however, that is not going to stop them from announcing one for the same reason they announced the worker vaccine mandate.

Another win against the federal vaccine mandate.  The latest injunction against the Biden administration’s healthcare worker vaccine mandate was written by Judge Terry A. Doughty of Louisiana [View Here]. This injunction expands the prior order to cover all healthcare workers nationally.

On Monday a federal court in Missouri delivered an injunction that covered ten states; however, this ruling is written to extend block the CMS healthcare rule on a national basis – against Joe Biden’s decision to require all health workers in hospitals and nursing homes to receive their first shot by Dec. 6 and to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4.  [Ruling Here]

However, with these rulings piling up against the White House; and with more and more Americans ignoring the fear porn being attempted with Omicron; we can expect the executive branch to go even stronger in the direction of more punitive punishment using federal mandates. Watch for it…
