Go long and bullish on everything, Red. You will surely be rewarded... though not by our press.

From various news sources.


The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits dropped to a more than 49-year low last week.
The data pointed to sustained labor market strength despite slowing economic growth.

U.S. small businesses continued their aggressive hunt for new workers and added employees at a near-record pace in March. That’s according to the latest employment report from the National Federation of Independent Business, due out later today.
“Job creation was solid in March with a net addition of 0.50 workers per firm (including those making no change in employment), close to February’s record of 0.52, and up ‪from 0.33‬ in January,” reports NFIB Chief Economist William Dunkelberg. “Owners are trying to hold on to the employees that they have due to a highly competitive labor market,” he adds



Stocks ended last week higher as volatility slowed, completing their best quarter since 2009. A Friday tweet from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin encouraged investors, referring to "constructive" discussions in the ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations.[1]

The S&P 500 gained 1.27% for the week. The Dow Industrials and Nasdaq Composite both exceeded that advance: the Dow rose 1.60%; the Nasdaq, 1.42%.[

What was the old GOP jape about the unemployment numbers under Clinton?

“the Clinton Administration has created 7 million jobs!”

“Yeah! Me and my wife have four of them!”

I think it is hysterical that the “ progressive” democrats of 2019 want to punish Joe Biden whose gang of white men failed to keep a black man off the Supreme Court 28 years ago.

The black man in question is a complete pig and among American History’s worst ever jurists.

That’s not fair to the cracker and chief. He’s also working on another record in the waste, fraud, and abuse category.

My apologies, Individual 1. Congratulations on inspiring so many dedicated civil servants to blow the whistle on your misdeeds.

Whistleblowers

Malcontents, like Cohen, who were not invited to the party.

Having the hog industry take over meat inspection from the USDA, making up bizarre fantasies about windmill cancer, and if that weren't enough corruption for one week....

  Cain, himself a former Republican presidential candidate and a long-time conservative activist, chairs America Fighting Back PAC, a political action committee created “by a group of President Trump’s most committed supporters,” according to the group’s website. Its mission is to fight “disrespectful, dishonest and destructive news” about Trump and bolster a movement of voters to fight for his reelection in 2020.

Trump, who described Cain as “a friend” on Thursday, said he plans to nominate the former head of Godfather’s Pizza to one of two vacancies on the Fed’s seven-member Board of Governors. Trump just two weeks ago said he would nominate conservative economic commentator Stephen Moore to the other vacant seat on the Fed’s board.

Trump’s plan to nominate an overt loyalist for a spot on the Fed board comes as Trump over and over again lambastes the central bank for raising interest rates four times last year and could checker the Fed’s long-cherished standing as an independent, apolitical body....
