Jobs report beats expectations AGAIN
The December 2023 jobs report has surpassed expectations, revealing the addition of 164,000 new jobs in the private sector, exceeding the projected 130,000. Notably, the leisure and hospitality sector led with 59,000 new jobs. Although there was a slight deceleration in earnings growth, with a 5.4% annual increase for those remaining in their jobs, this is attributed to the diminishing inflation rate. Despite these positive economic indicators, there are concerns about the Biden administration's communication strategy. Biden and his surrogates are struggling to effectively convey the robust state of the economy. The overall economic outlook is positive, with various metrics, including job creation, inflation, unemployment rate, GDP, stock market, and wage growth, showing favorable trends. As the 2024 elections approach, the key question remains whether the Biden administration can enhance its communication efforts to bridge the gap between the positive economic performance and public perception.
Trump EXPLODES on Truth Social with deranged fury
In a recent outburst on his platform, Truth Social, former President Donald Trump went on a frenzied and bizarre posting spree. The tirade included reposting tweets from E. Jean Carroll, the woman he was found civilly liable of assaulting, as a seemingly defensive tactic. Trump continued to spread unfounded claims about a supposed invasion through the southern border for the purpose of influencing the 2024 election, despite the 2020 election being years past. The ex-president also posted polls favoring himself, videos of the woman he was found liable for assaulting, and articles about her past, creating a concerted effort that some argue is aimed at intimidation and defamation. The rapid succession of posts within a single hour suggests a level of panic, with speculations about Trump's fear of potential legal consequences in the coming year. Legal experts are evaluating whether Trump's actions may lead to additional defamation charges. The episode underscores concerns about Trump's behavior and raises questions about the necessity of continuing attacks on Carroll as the 2024 election approaches.
From yesterday’s show:
WOW: Ron DeSantis FALLS BEHIND Nikki Haley in Republican race
In a significant development in the 2024 Republican primary, Nikki Haley has surpassed Ron DeSantis to secure the second-place position. Current average polling shows a slight lead for Haley at 11% compared to DeSantis' 10.9%. This reversal is striking, considering DeSantis had consistently held the second spot, while Haley's support has surged from the low single digits in 2023. Although DeSantis maintains a lead in the Iowa caucus, predictions suggest Haley may outperform him. Notably, in New Hampshire and her home state of South Carolina, Haley continues to outpace DeSantis. However, the overarching narrative underscores Donald Trump's dominant presence, polling at almost 63% nationally. Despite Haley's rise, unless unforeseen events disrupt the current trajectory, Trump remains the likely Republican nominee for the 2024 election.

Fox host hits rock bottom, has psychic predict Trump's future
In a bizarre segment on Fox News, Jesse Watters featured a so-called psychic, Paula Roberts, attempting to predict the futures of Donald Trump and Joe Biden for 2024. During the segment, Roberts pulled out cartoonish cards and provided ambiguous interpretations about their futures. The psychic predicted abundant money for Biden with a cheeky mention of China and characterized Jesse Watters with a Knight of Swords card, describing him as quick and bright. The segment offered a sense of disbelief and amusement, questioning the legitimacy of using a psychic for political insights. This segment was yet a new low for Fox News, emphasizing the questionable nature of employing tarot cards to delve into the future of political figures in 2024.

David, How come no one seems to be talking about Project 2025 ? I think Democrats need to know about this ! If Trump gets back in I am going to be leaving the country ! All these republicans follow Roger Stones teaching of Deny, Deflect, Attack.... No matter what you say to a republican this is what they do !
