The Biden economic bust

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The American people have been fed a lie about Joe Biden’s economy, and the truth is finally breaking through. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that the U.S. economy added 911,000 fewer jobs from April 2024 to March 2025 than previously claimed. This isn’t just a minor tweak—it’s the largest downward revision in BLS history, exposing the hollow promises of Biden’s alleged economic recovery. The Trump administration is rightfully sounding the alarm, calling for a complete overhaul of the broken system that propped up these false numbers.

“Today, the BLS released the largest downward revision on record proving that President Trump was right: Biden’s economy was a disaster and the BLS is broken,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared. Her words cut through the fog of Washington’s spin, laying bare the reality that the Biden administration’s job numbers were a mirage, designed to mislead hardworking Americans, businesses, and policymakers who depend on accurate data to make critical decisions.

The scale of this revision is staggering. The BLS admitted to overcounting private sector non-farm jobs by a whopping 880,000 and government jobs by 31,000. Break it down, and the picture gets even uglier: retail trade was inflated by 126,200 jobs, wholesale trade by 110,300, leisure and hospitality by 176,000, professional and business services by 158,000, and manufacturing—crucial to America’s industrial heartland—by 95,000. These aren’t just numbers; they represent real livelihoods, real opportunities, and real economic stability that never existed under Biden’s watch.

President Donald Trump, never one to mince words, has been vindicated by this revelation. For months, he warned that Biden’s economy was a house of cards, propped up by manipulated data and government handouts. The revision proves he was right all along. It’s no wonder Trump took decisive action last month, firing BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer for her role in pushing these misleading figures. The American people deserve better than bureaucrats playing political games with their future.
...

The Biden team and the Democrats engaged in the politics of fraud, attempting to mislead voters about the true impact of their economic polices.   Their loss in the 2024 election was well deserved.

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.
