April Fools Day 🤪!

Biden delivers results despite the naysayers. 

Despite the polls saying President Joe Biden is not a good job, he is bringing in the results.

With rising fuel prices, inflation in food, medicine and rent, Biden is being hammered for this and not the results of a thriving economy. The president has tried to get Congress to pass his agenda. The House of Representatives is passing bills but they're dying in the Senate due to Republicans obstruction and two white nationalist Democrats voting with them.

Democrats know the potential for Republicans to win back Congress. They are literally running on culture wars and blaming Biden for inflation. The pandemic is easing up despite we having over 1 million people dying from the coronavirus.

The jobs report has 431,000 jobs in March and the unemployment rate took another step toward a half-century low, as companies pushed to add staff and more people entered the labor force in search of work.

Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast 490,000 new jobs in March, but the shortfall was made up for by stronger than previously reported hiring in the first two months of the year.

Vice President Kamala Harris is behind the scenes trying to push Biden's agenda.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, slid to 3.6% from 3.8%, the government said Friday.

Just before the pandemic, the jobless rate had sunk to a 50-year low of 3.5%.

The healthy March employment report underscores why the Federal Reserve is moving to jack up a key short-term U.S. interest rate this year after keeping it near zero during the pandemic.

The rate of inflation has soared to a 40-year high of almost 8% and surging wages are now adding to the price pressures.

Hourly pay rose sharply again in March and pushed the increase in the past 12 months to 5.6%, the highest rate since the early 1980s.

Hiring in February and January was somewhat stronger than previously reported. Job gains in the two months were raised by a combined 95,000.

Millions of workers have taken advantage of the tight labor market by switching jobs, usually for higher pay or benefits or more flexibility. Some have left service-oriented jobs that require lots of face-to-face contact with customers. 

Over the past year the average paycheck has increased by 5.6% — one of the fastest increases since the early 1980s.

Democrats voice frustration with Sinema and Manchin.

“Demand for labor is very strong, and with the labor force smaller than it was before the pandemic, firms are competing for workers and bidding up wages,” said senior economic advisor Stuart Hoffman of PNC Financial Services.

President Joe Biden's headaches:

  1. The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
  2. Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
  3. The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
  4. The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
  5. Anti-Vaxxers. 
  6. Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
  7. The endless culture wars that Republicans find outrage in.
  8. Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
  9. Facebook and TikTok and the idiots who run it and the idiots who post on it.
  10. Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and his health.
  11. The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless things.
  12. Gun violence in the country and Congress refusal to do something about it.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in.

Things are slowly returning back to normal. However we're still not out of the woods yet.

Over 86% of Americans have at least gotten one of the coronavirus vaccines. Millions of Americans refusing to be vaccinated which will lead to the coronavirus being resistant to vaccines. As it mutates into a deadly strain, folks who refuse to follow the CDC guidelines will eventually turn it into a super-pandemic in which those who come into contact with an infected asymptomatic person could trigger the mass destruction of the human race.

Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

Florida senator Scott is sharing the details of the Republican agenda despite McConnell's frustration with him.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Only because of their hatred of Biden and people who support him, Republicans have attacked reality as we know it.

Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being overworked and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
