Economic forecasters had predicted one million job gains in April.  The actual results are “stunningly” and “unexpectedly” far below the expectations.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics [SEE HERE] reveals only 266,000 jobs gained in April and downward revisions of March by -146,000.  There are almost 7.4 million jobs available; however, despite the available jobs, no-one is going back to work.

Yes, JoeBama’s “free government money” has created the socialist utopia.

The politically correct economic analysts are shocked that minorities (blacks and latinos) are not going back to work; while ignoring the disincentive that government handouts have created in the JoeBama economy.  The entire dynamic is ridiculous when you consider we should be entering a phase of the jobs economy where vaccination and COVID mitigation should be leading to massive reopenings of the economy overall.

Inside the numbers, the economic sectors showing the worst jobs recovery are directly related to the blue state shut-downs.  Worse yet, there is an underlying scenario showing the economy is not growing despite the ability of businesses to re-open overall.  That spells even more trouble.

(CNBC) – “Today’s report was an enormous surprise and shows the labor market hit a hidden pothole in April,” Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao tells CNBC Make It. “Clearly, the labor market has decelerated quite a bit.”

The 6.1% unemployment rate and 9.8 million people unemployed remained steady in April compared with the months prior. (more)

A remarkable display of Alinsky-inspired hubris today from the White House Press Secretary.

“I wanted to provide an update on the situation at our southern border. After four years of an immigration system rooted in destructive and chaotic policies, President Biden is taking the challenge head-on and is building a fair, orderly and humane immigration system; that’s our objective.  After coming into office, uh, our administration immediately jumped into action to address the influx of migrants at the border, something that began during -and was exacerbated by- the Trump administration; er, and wanted to provide data, pieces of data, you may have seen but they’ve come out since the last time we’ve had a briefing in here”…

.

What this tells me is…. in the background political operatives (and polling) are telling the JoeBama administration the border crisis is a toxic issue that will likely hurt the Democrats in the next mid-term election cycle.  The White House response to deploy the Alinsky gaslighting is a very familiar tactic when there is urgency amid the liars to get out in front of a politically damaging position.

Unfortunately for Psaki, the reality, facts and a poor decision to give Biden T-shirts to the illegal alien horde, begs to differ.

President Trump has made an announcement on how to frame the 2020 election results.  From this moment forth, the overall encompassing effort of the leftist usurpation of the 2020 election, through the use of fraudulent mail-in ballots, will be called “The Big Lie”.

As soon as government started controlling the behavior of people under the justification of COVID fear, there was a natural conclusion evident to the issues. The lady holding up the sign has it exactly correct.  All of the approaches demanded by leftist governmental action framed ‘non-compliance’ with the dictates as the individual being “selfish.”

The leftist pattern of framing your demand for individual freedom and liberty as selfish, has permeated throughout the COVID narrative.  The vaccination demand now carries the exact same compliance narrative as the leftists blend vaccinations with the term “herd immunity.”

The current media talking points say that if you don’t take the non-FDA approved test vaccine, you are selfishly blocking a national effort to attain this “herd immunity.”

The argument is actually quite silly.  If your vaccine protects you from COVID; and if the vaccine actually does do what the government and media tell you it does; then why would you be worried about someone else’s vaccine status?  If the vaccine works, presumably you are protected; my not being vaccinated does not increase your risk or pose a threat.

To give you an idea how the COVID narrative is evolving, CNN ran this segment talking about how non-vaccinated people should be treated:

American flags, veterans, patriotism, pride in America, courage, pride, honor, strength… all the things represented by the motorcycle group known as “Rolling Thunder” who have traditionally rallied on Memorial Day in Washington DC.  Unfortunately, all those adjectives are also things the intolerant leftists hate… So the Biden administration denies the group a parking permit.

WASHINGTON (7News) — The U.S. Department of Defense has denied a parking permit to the American Veterans or AmVets to stage a rallying point at the Pentagon ending a 32-year-old tradition on Memorial Day weekend for Rolling To Remember.

Now AmVets will try and secure RFK Stadium as an alternative staging area.

AmVets Executive Director Joe Chenelly tells the 7 News I-Team he received a call from the Pentagon Friday afternoon saying “A gentleman at the Pentagon told me that after careful consideration, our permit application was denied. He said considerations involved the continued spread of COVID-19 in the region and the nature of our event being that we are proposing a large gathering for an extended period of time.”

The Pentagon released a statement Friday night that read:

Well, this takes governmental threats to an entirely new level.  Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has just proclaimed that she will not permit a return to liberty and freedom for Michiganders until they submit to the COVID vaccination.

The outline is HERE, but the essential elements are in the graphic below.  Governor Whitmer will not lift the most intrusive mandates until seventy percent of Michigan citizens submit themselves to get the non-FDA-approved COVID vaccine.  LOOK:

♦ If 55% of Michiganders (4,453,304 residents) get the shot, after two weeks Whitmer will allow in-person work for all sectors of business.

♦ If 60% of Michiganders (4,858,150 residents) get the shot, after two more weeks:

•Whitmer will increase indoor capacity at sports stadiums to 25%.
•Increase indoor capacity at conference centers/banquet halls/funeral homes to 25%.
•Increase capacity at exercise facilities and gyms to 50%.
·Lift the curfew on restaurants and bars.

♦ If 65% of Michiganders (5,262,996 residents) get the shot, after two more weeks Whitmer will:

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update on the Maricopa County ballot audit that is ongoing.  As Ms. Ward notes there are many leftists demanding to know who is helping to pay for this audit; yet simultaneously those same Democrats do not talk about who is funding the hundreds of left-wing lawyers that are attempting to stop the audit.  Good point.

Tonight the installed occupant of the White House will deliver an address to a COVID distanced partial group of congressional representatives and senators.  The jumbled word salad is expected to be read at 9:00pm and will be nationally broadcast.

Previously Nikki Haley Said:

…”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”  (link)

Yesterday when asked about her 2024 presidential ambitions Nikki Haley says:

…”Out of respect I would never do anything to go against [Trump], he knows that. I would have a conversation with him and talk to him about it should we decide we want to pursue it; but, um, no, I have a great respect for him and I would never consider running against him.”

Comrades, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), also known as the U.S. Ministry of COVID compliance, has released new guidelines for outdoor expressions of liberty and freedom.  [SEE GUIDELINES HERE]  Within the guidelines vaccinated people are now permitted to engage in activity without masks.  However, non-compliant citizens -those who refuse the non FDA approved emergency vaccination- are still required to wear masks.  [LINK]

Thus, the CDC ministry is now establishing a new protocol to divide the American citizenry.  Two classes of individuals: vaccinated -vs- non vaccinated.

Vaccinated people will be permitted greater freedom; and may -depending on checkpoints unregulated (so far) by government officials- engage in conduct according to rules created by multinational corporations.  Compliant citizens will have access to venues, services and freedom based on the arbitrary rules of the state and business.

Non-Vaccinated, non-compliant citizens, are considered subversive to the interests of the state, and will -again as determined by private corporations and government officials- be barred from engagement in some activity.  The freedom fulcrum is being moved right in front of our eyes and the majority of U.S. citizens are seemingly oblivious to it.

Comrade dissidents, this should not come as a surprise.  Factually, CTH has been saying this is the intent of the leftist division in the United States for well over a decade.  I even asked readers  in May of 2011 which choice will they make because CTH anticipated THIS is exactly where we would be.  While we did not know the mechanism, we did know the goal.
