Trump decides to have a photo op at St. John's Church that was vandalized. Apparently people were tear gassed to clear the park across from the church so that Trump could hold a bible.

Trump of course had nothing to do with what happened with the murder of George Floyd. His tweets as usual have not been Presidential and somewhat confusing to boot. He seems to get a lot of the blame as expected. He is to be preaching a law and order platform, which the left naturally objects to, and says makes things worse.

In almost an immediate turn around, no one in the News is talking about the Dems poor performance with Covid-19 and the release of some of the Flynn documents implicating the Obama administration and even Obama himself. It is all riots, riots riots.

So naturally one wonders if this was all planned to take the heat off Obama and the Dems or pure luck.

No tear gas used. Peaceful protestors were throwing bottles at Park Police.

So this Trump walking from the White House to St John’s is getting a lot of traction.

Peaceful protestors had to move so he could make the journey surrounded by a phalanx of police.

They I guess they were asked to relocate, they didn’t, so men on horseback and smoke grenades ( not tear gas ) was used to get them to relocate.

Trump got his photo op.

Washington Post of course feels we are about to have an extinction event.

Fake Hydroychloroquine study Which showed it was dangerous often repeated by press as a criticism of Trump’s support of Hydroxychloroquine has now been withdrawn by publisher of report. Could not independently verify accuracy.

I’m sure the press will just broadcast this to the maximum.

It does have side effects that mess with the immune system and can effect vision. Been on it now for ten years and still doing well. It has greatly helped reduce the extreme pain from rheumatoid arthritis flares in my joints. Been a year since my last flare and I'm thankful.

US shocks economists by adding 2.5 million jobs in May as unemployment declines to 13.3%

The Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday said US employers added 2.5 million payrolls in May, a shocking figure that defied economists' expectations of 7.5 million jobs lost.

The US unemployment rate declined to 13.3% in May, bucking forecasts of a near-record 19% reading.

In President Trump's press conference this morning, he concluded and sat down to sign a bill. That didn't prevent questions being shouted at him from the audience of "journalists." (We need a better word for fake journalists...something like RINO for not-really-Republicans; "Journos" doesn't work because it's already slang for journalists in general.)

The first question shouted out was, "Mr. President, how would a better economy have saved George Floyd's life?"

The second: "Mr. President, non-Black unemployment improved by 1%, but Black unemployment improved by only 0.5%. How is that a win, Mr. President. In what way is that a win?"

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because the predictions for the numbers were for an additional loss of jobs, as in an additional seven figures. Instead, the jobs report showed 2.5 million jobs gained.


Dow is up 975 at the moment.

JINO?

or just "enemy."

JINO?

or just "enemy."

Yeah; I think JINO can work. And we can add adjectives as fitting (or as thought silently, if they violate forum rules). I was thinking Pujou, for "puppet journalist," but that doesn't go far enough because it implies that are actual journalists...

[Flightmare]

If we want an accurate term, just call them propagandists.

prop·a·gan·dist
adjective: propagandist

consisting of or spreading propaganda.

Washington Post took a mighty swing at Trump and whiffed it:

Mayor paints “black lives matter” in giant letters on the street leading to the White House.

They have extra money by not paying overtime for police last week or so.
