Jobs make big comeback in Trump economy

 DC Daily Journal:

The U.S. economy is roaring back to life under President Trump’s leadership, with a jaw-dropping 228,000 jobs added in March, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Friday. This figure obliterates the measly 140,000 jobs economists had timidly predicted, proving once again that the Trump administration’s pro-growth policies are delivering results that defy the naysayers.

Compare that to February’s paltry 117,000 job gains, and it’s clear the momentum is building. The BLS noted a slight uptick in the unemployment rate to 4.2% from 4.1%, but that minor shift pales in comparison to the sheer force of job creation unleashed this spring. This isn’t just a number—it’s a testament to an economy firing on all cylinders.
...

One fascinating detail from the BLS report: federal government payrolls shrank by 4,000 in March, following an 11,000-job drop in February. That February decline was the steepest since June 2022, and it’s no accident. The Trump administration, teamed up with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is slashing the fat from Washington’s bloated bureaucracy. Fewer desk jockeys, more real jobs—that’s the Trump way.

“The March jobs report exceeds expectations with 228,000 jobs added,” The White House crowed in a Friday X post. “The Golden Age has begun!” And who could argue? This isn’t just a recovery; it’s a renaissance. Trump’s vision of deregulation and affordable energy is unshackling American workers and businesses from the chains of overreach and high costs.
...

When you consider that government jobs are shrinking under Trump, the job gains are more impressive.  The non-governmental job gains are responsible for all the growth.  The US economy is growing on its own.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
