My contention is when you work with statistical models you can generate any result you'd like based on your assumptions and inputs. As these job numbers are not a count but rather a number derived from a model, I contend they suffer from political bias. I base my theory on some work experience applying statistical modeling and looking at historical trends where the BLS monthly job numbers correlated with statistical significance with other job market metrics then inexplicably diverged from almost all of them without explanation. Something changed. If in my past efforts had we encountered a sudden divergence in one key metric out of several key metrics that had for years followed a similar trend we would have performed a full assessment of the model, our assumptions, our input data and sources, assessed the possibly of exceptional or new circumstances, and identified the source of the divergence and taken action to address it.

My guess is these "low" numbers are just as fake as the high one's. And here's why. Those high numbers weren't translating to what actual working people were experiencing and did nothing for Biden's polling numbers. What Biden needs more than anything is either greater expectations for rate cuts or actual rate cuts so the interest rate sensitive areas of the economy can get a boost before the election. Another round of higher than expected jobs numbers would have dashed hopes for Fed action to lower rates. Higher or low, its all still make up a number that supports the politics of the month.

They love these swarthy terrorist rascals because American men find them unattractive and frankly don't want anything to do with them. These foreign guys see them as easy, cheap, sluts to be used and abused. What guy doesn't love going on a date with a woman that will lecture you about the patriarchy and the struggle of feminism for 3 hours while harping on the need for equality yet insisting the man picks up the check?

I'm quite sure Garland's DOJ will be launching a "hate" crime investigation of the fraternity and the FBI will be questioning its members for possible "extremist" connections. The "progressive" cult will not allow challenges to its actions or power.

Some of these dudes are just gaming the system because they know identifying as "trans" puts them at the top of the social justice pyramid and grants them special privileges from the woke cult and protection from officials that are crapping in their pants to avoid demonstrating nothing but total obedience to the LGBTQ "community". If a guys wants to sexually assault women their are consequences to those actions. If a trans assaults a women they get away with it. Anyone raising objective is of course "transphobic". They're just smart rapists playing the system.

I keep hearing "a scheme to influence the election". What I don't understand is what is the specific Federal law or FEC statute that under penalty of fines or imprisonment requires everyone to publicly disclose all information, or perhaps withhold information, in their possession that might in one way or another be judged by a court of law to impact an election in any way, shape, or form?

My grandparents had a farm in northern California. They were tough people and it was a hard life. Once when we were visiting I remember my grandmother killed a rattlesnake with a shovel that was threatening us. Not scared or anything, just went up to it and bashed its head in. While she was doing this I was more or less crapping my pants. My grandfather died of a heart attack at 90 while working on his truck. I don't think city people would be doing any of those things. They go to Costco and pick up a pack of 85% ground beef or a roasted Chicken and don't see how it gets from the farm to the store. I learned a bit about how hard farming is and when the city slickers snicker about those "hicks" as they drink a $6 Starbucks coffee while checking their e-mail and posting pictures of their vacation (that nobody really wants to see) I quietly laugh to myself about them. Because without that farm to table system they'd run out of food in two or three days and I guarantee 99% of them wouldn't survive if left to their own wits and resourcefulness.

I salute you for that view. But I think that makes you a classical liberal rather than the modern progressive version. I share a similar view of equal opportunity. Opportunity for all but outcomes should be based on effort and achievement. I don't believe in a survival of the fittest philosophy but I also don't believe in equality of outcomes. I get the sense you share most if not all of this. A core objective of DEI and Diversity is equal outcomes and that's the core of many of the social policies of the current administration and democratic party priorities. I won't argue that past and current systems such as job hiring criteria most certainly had/have inequalities but I don't think the solution is to replace one set of inequalities for another set of inequalities and declare victory.

You nailed it. The motto and objective of liberal DEI and socialism. Makes me recall the Rush song "Trees"

Obviously these clowns are begging for a violent confrontation with the police. In order to transform themselves from rioters to victims. The left loves victims, Even when they're a violent aggressor its because they're a victim. Its just their "thing". Its what gets them excited. I would hope the cops are smarter than rushing the building but I have doubts. What you do is tell them they can stay there as long as they'd like. But nobody is giving into any of their demands. You give them one other option, to surrender and face charges. Otherwise, cut the power, water, phone service, and any other things feeding into the building. Set up a blockade of the building and keep anyone and everyone from bringing supplies to the holdouts in the building. Through whatever means are needed. Arrest anyone approaching the building for obstruction. Use the fact they are mostly candy ass pansies and just a whiff of adversity is enough to get them to crumble into a whimpering ball hiding in some corner of a room. In a few days they'll come out waving white flags and then quietly arrest them. Sure, you'll have some sappy human rights groups making wild dramatic claims you subjected them to concentration camp conditions, which you didn't, but they're all candy ass pansies too so screw them. Such drama from the left will further erode public opinion of these so called "students"

Note the silence from the Biden administration which determines the correct action needed based on how it might impact their reelection chances in November. Something they might define as a crime of "election interference" if done by an opponent. There is obviously collusion and conspiracy occurring between and among various group, NGO's, and officials to simultaneously execute the exact same "plan" at multiple college campuses. The FBI should be on this, investigating the connections, identifying leadership and funding, acquiring warrants, freezing assets, arresting hi-level organizers. The "students" on the ground while troublesome should not be the focus of any law enforcement effort. Go after the generals here. Like Soros organizations and other organizations with known links to funding these domestic terrorists. Charge them with domestic terrorism, arrest them, lock them up. Sadly, none or little of this will happen. And Democrats in general don't believe in conspiracies! Right? 🤣

Government is calling it the biggest threat to democracy since January 6th in Washington!

Privileged mostly white American college kids and agitators pretending to be Hamas supporters/members oblivious to the fact the real-deal would not think twice about killing them on sight. Dumbest idiots you can find for $80k a year.

The academic environment has long provided a make-believe and theoretical world for students and faculty to escape the rigors and reality of life faced by people beating out a living in the real world. Its a socialists Utopia with $80K per year tuition. A trip to Cuba or Venezuela would provide a real life experience for much less although I suspect those rich kids and paid anarchists would find the conditions less than acceptable and certainly not what they're entitled to be provided.

What these idiots don't comprehend is even a successful socialist revolution does not require "activists" once the fight is over. So win or lose the revolution, these fools are dead men (and women) walking. Because troublemakers are not longer needed and will be a nuisance. They'll be lined up along a trench and get a bullet in the head then bulldozed over by their masters.

I heard it said by others somewhere, many times on another topic that a policy of "appeasement" is a show of weakness that will lead to the next Hitler taking power. This nicely sums up what's happening now: "Leftists have a tendency to hijack the causes of other movements as a way to elevate their own agendas, and this is exactly what is happening in the west with the Gaza issue. It is rather revealing that these protesters aren't amassing on Joe Biden's doorstep or the halls of Congress. The people most directly responsible for the funding of Israel for some reason get a pass while US colleges with no power to change anything in the Middle East are overrun". Spot on! But don't expect the MSM to pick up on the theme or ask a direct question like why don't you go protest in front of the White House because the guy making the decision to send billions in aid to Israel and veto any UN resolution of condemnation lives there? Because the cause isn't important as its about anarchy, an assault on our society and culture. How I miss the good old days. I wonder what the Romans would do here? Send in a legion or two to quell the problem I expect. That's figuratively how liberals treated the 1/6 event. But here, kid gloves and appeasement. Why?

I wish the mothers of these violent protesters would have gotten an abortion.

Problem is the adults in charge are probably contemplating giving in to their demands. Public officials that can't or won't provide a sufficient level of civil behavior and social safety for both pro and anti peaceful protesters and the general public shouldn't be in charge of anything. I'm wondering if the people that elect and promote these idiots have learned any lessons here and are ready to stop putting losers and diversity hires in charge of anything? And since when did the police have to ask permission from the mayor to enforce the law? The entire system is on the verge of chaos and that's exactly the goal of these professional protesters. They care little to nothing about the plight of Palestinians or the safety of Jews. They're what was at one time called anarchists. Maybe Biden's DOJ can do something useful for a change instead of chasing legal ghosts to charge their political opponent with illusionary crimes? Why not take a few minutes out of their busy day persecuting 1/6 suspects that did far less damage than these so called "students" and investigate who's behind funding these terrorist groups and then freeze and confiscate their assets and arrest their leaders? And put an end to this crap. I think what you'll discover is these protests are organized and supported by various radial NGO's using your tax dollars courtesy of Joe Biden's gang.

True. Celebs like Springsteen support Biden but you listen to his music and all the characters in his songs would support Trump. There's a major disconnect in our country between leaders and their objectives and the working people.

Third world style riots in progress on UCLA campus and mayor claims police are responding but no.police on site. Democratic leadership failure at every level. Video looks like Antifa running LA.

You didn't address my question. Forget the election for a moment. Is an attempted crime 1) talking without doing it or 2) talking and doing it?

Those are criminal acts. If one friend says to the other "do you think we should rob a bank" but they don't attempt to rob the bank should they be arrested because they had a brief conversation or thought about it?

Howard Stern was an edgy and provocative pioneer and innovator of shock jock radio. But at some point the wild stallion of radio sold his soul and convictions while getting his balls cut off by the establishment and has become a gelding relegating to trotting around in the corral and rented out for kiddie parties. Or in this case lobbing softballs at a senile old man that can't hit a real pitch anymore. Sad for both.

Reality is 1/2 the country, most likely more than that, is completely dissatisfied with the neocon/neoliberal Washington establishment and the consistent actions that ignore the interests of Americans. They're not voting for Biden because he's spent a lifetime in politics representing the interests of the establishment and the powerful and wealthy. I should add his dismal performance as President has alienated even more voters many of which voted for him in 2020. The latest CNN poll showed Trump up 6% and even more when 3rd party candidates are considered. You can bash Trump until the end of time but other than Trump, who's taking on the establishment? Maybe RFK Jr. Who should these Americans disgusted with politics as usual that ignore their interests vote for? Jill Stein? If its not Trump in 2024 then who should they line up behind? Sure Trump has lots of faults and shortcomings but give me your alternative.
