People staying out of the work force because we're paying them to do so. Quite the head-scratcher, eh?

Now they want to pay the restaurants because they can’t find workers because the govt is paying them too much. You can’t make this shit up that for sure!

Janet “Baghdad Bob” Yellen is SO FULL OF SHIT, it’s coming out her ears.

Yup.

Was wandering through the family room, yesterday, I think it was, and there was an item on the "news" about how a Papa Johns was closing its doors permanently. The owner can't get people to come work for him.

Eventually, enough of these small businesses close their doors and the municipalities that depend upon them for their tax base are going to start feeling the pinch.

Ah yes, the Joe Biden “Restaurant Revitalization Fund”

The Small Business Administration (SBA) says it will “only process and fund priority group applications” for the first three weeks.

Here is there definition of who gets priority.

“ Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identity as a member of a group without regard to their individual qualities. Individuals who are members of the following groups are presumed to be socially disadvantaged: Black Americans; Hispanic Americans; Native Americans (including Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians); Asian Pacific Americans; or Subcontinent Asian Americans. Economically disadvantaged individuals are those socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities as compared to others in the same business area who are not socially disadvantaged.”

Pretty inclusive list there.
Seems only one group is not included.

Economists were hoping for a figure roughly 1 million jobs larger — making this the biggest miss, relative to expectations, in the history of the payrolls report.

More Fallout from Disastrous Jobs Report: Left Declares That The Only Problem Is That Democrats Aren't Spending Enough !

The Left thinks they know what the problem is.

It's the same problem they always have when their plans and schemes fail catastrophically: We just didn't spend enough of money we don't have on our catastrophic plans and schemes.

Biden's Chief of Staff, archprogressive/nigh-communist Ron Klain -- who Redsteeze snarks is the actual president puppeteering Biden -- retweeted this claim, indicating it's what President Klain believes to be true.

Biden DOJ proposes changing definition of ‘firearm;’ background checks on gun parts and more ‘ghost gun’ rules

MAY 07, 2021 LIZ GEORGE

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a proposed change to the legal definitions of “firearms” on Friday in an effort to subject more firearms parts to background checks and serial number tracking. It would be the first update to the “firearms” definition since 1968.

According to a notice from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the DOJ seeks to amend the definitions of “firearm” to “clarify when a firearms parts kit is considered a ‘firearm,'” and “help close a regulatory loophole associated with [homemade guns].”

“We are committed to taking commonsense steps to address the epidemic of gun violence that takes the lives of too many people in our communities,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in a statement. “Criminals and others barred from owning a gun should not be able to exploit a loophole to evade background checks and to escape detection by law enforcement.”

“This proposed rule would help keep guns out of the wrong hands and make it easier for law enforcement to trace guns used to commit violent crimes, while protecting the rights of law-abiding Americans,” he continued. “Although this rulemaking will solve only one aspect of the problem, we have an obligation to do our part to keep our families and our neighborhoods safe from gun violence.”

Firearm trigger assemblies already fall under the definition of “firearms” and are subject to standard firearm rules, such as retail sales transactions taking place only at a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders. Private sales are currently exempt from background checks, but the proposed rules would end that exemption.

The DOJ’s statement claims that from 2016 to 2020, over 23,000 “ghost guns” lacking serial numbers were reportedly recovered by law enforcement from potential crime scenes, including one firearms that was linked to 325 homicides and attempted homicides. ( horseshit )

The release stated that the public will have 90 days to submit comments once the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register. To submit a comment, follow the steps here.

The proposed change comes roughly one months after President Biden announced several gun-control measures that will be enacted by the White House, including Friday’s proposed rule to help stop the growth of homemade “ghost gun” firearms, regulations on pistol braces and a federal model for state “red flag” laws.

“Today we’re taking steps to confront not just the gun crisis, but what is actually a public health crisis,” Biden said from the White House Rose Garden.

“Nothing, nothing I’m about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment. Their phony argument suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake for what we’re talking about, but no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. You can’t yell fire in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech.”

My brother has a pebble from his urethra that he created and it could be fashioned into a pistol grip with several more stones. Is the government going to track his calcium intake to make sure he can’t fashion such and if so, how are they going to do it?

The U.S. Army apparently has decided to gender-norm scores on the test it administers for combat fitness. As I understand this report in the Washington Post, rather than comparing men’s and women’s scores, women will be judged based on how they perform in relation to other women.

This radical change is a response to the unsurprising fact that women are failing the Army’s combat fitness test to a disproportionate extent. The test in question evaluates soldiers in six events: dead lifts, a two-mile run, push-ups, a shuttle run, a medicine ball throw and leg tucks, in which soldiers must hang from a bar and bring their knees to their elbows. About 54 percent of women and 7 percent of men failed the test last year.

Thus, in the name of “equity,” women will be able to pass by scoring well in relation to other women, not in absolute terms.

Determining who is fit for combat based in part on gender, rather than solely on actual fitness, is a crazy idea. The harsh reality is an army that lowers its combat fitness standard in the name of gender equity (or for any other extraneous reason) is an army that risks becoming unfit for combat.

This common sense view is shared by Capt. Kristen Griest, who made history in 2015 as one of the first two women to graduate the Army’s famously difficult Ranger School. The Post notes that Capt. Griest has avoided the media spotlight for years. However, the insanity of gender norming combat fitness scores has caused her to speak out.

In a column for the Modern War Institute at West Point, Griest stated:

To not require women to meet equal standards in combat arms will not only undermine their credibility, but also place those women, their teammates, and the mission at risk.

The Captain knows whereof she speaks. She was the first woman to lead a company of infantrymen, commanding in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C. She has deployed twice to Afghanistan.

Lt. Col. Lisa Jaster, who also passed the Ranger’s course, had the right response to Bell’s non-argument. She said it’s misogynistic to have separate guidelines for men and women. She added:

It’s very frustrating for those of us who want to be thought of as equals and peers. It puts an automatic asterisk by each of our accomplishments.

To paraphrase an old saying, those who can do, those who can’t whine about “inequity.”

Body bags. They need to start buying a lot more body bags. Given this stupidity, they're going to be filling them with a lot of dead soldiers.

Biden Admin. Claims Only Small Percentage Of Public Focused On Migrant Crisis

https://www.oann.com/biden-adm...d-on-migrant-crisis/

The Biden administration has continued to overlook the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border.

While speaking as a guest on a podcast recently, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki expressed her frustrations over individuals who continually ask when Joe Biden is going to visit the border. She claimed most Americans are focused on fixing the economy and recovering while only a small percentage are worried about the migrant surge.

However, a poll conducted by Harvard University/Harris Insights and Analytics in February found that 55 percent of Americans are opposed to the Biden administration’s handling of the migrant crisis. This came after Biden used executive orders to rollback President Trump’s strong border policies.

The press secretary went on to claim the illegal immigration surge at the border is reoccurring and not a crisis. She said that immigration reform is rather a huge challenge the Biden administration was left with.

“Our calculation on that front is one, this is cyclical, we’ve seen surges at the border,” Psaki stated. “Every time it happens, it’s bad until we do something to address it over the long-term with root causes, immigration reform…it’s going to keep happening.”

According to recent figures, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations have fallen to record low numbers with the agency deporting fewer than 3,000 illegal immigrants in April. Earlier this week, Kamala Harris said she intends to travel to Mexico and Guatemala in June in an effort to tackle the migrant crisis.

....with the other 45% being identified as being too stupid to exist in this universe.

And Psaki the liar is correct in this particular case. Surges at the border are cyclical. They occur every time a POS liberal is elected president. This year was especially devastating as a POS retarded liberal found his way (with significant assistance) into 'our' White House.

No, the other 45% said "No habla inglis."
