Lemonade! 🍋

Bidenomics works.

The jobs report for the month of June has come out and it is expected to deliver a great opportunity for the ney-sayers to undermine the work of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. 

For the month of June, there were 209,000 jobs added. The unemployment rate drops to 3.6%.

Job growth would have been even lighter without a boost in government jobs, which increased by 60,000, almost all of which came from the state and local levels.

Other sectors showing strong gains were health care (41,000), social assistance (24,000) and construction (23,000).

Leisure and hospitality, which had been the strongest job-growth engine over the past three years, added just 21,000 jobs for the month. The sector has cooled off considerably, showing only muted gains for the past three months.

The retail sector lost 11,000 jobs in June while transportation and warehousing saw a decline of 7,000.

For the 50 states, five territories and the District of Columbia, the jobs were spread across the country.

Biden can brag that despite the rumors of a recession, jobs are still coming. 

The unfortunate side of a jobs report is the aftermath.

Being laid off or being fired from a job really sucks. Take it from me, I hate it. I am stable but I hate the two jobs I am working at. They don't pay enough and I based my whole life around them and nothing else. It has to come to an end soon.

The things observed:

There is a writer's strike. The Writers Guild of America and its union representatives have decided to strike over the networks not paying enough for its writers. Many of these top executives are making 9 figure salaries. This is an ongoing controversy.

With the distractions cranked up to 1000, Republicans continue to offer nothing but culture wars and conspiracy theories. For example, the far right is obsessed with the U.S. Secret Service finding a suspicious package at the White House on Sunday and had it determined to be possibly cocaine. Without evidence and a possible libel, they assume it belongs to Hunter Biden, the troubled son of the president. The far right has been obsessed with the news of this instead of having policies that deal with gun violence, climate change, lowering inflation and fixing infrastructure.

They sure love to brag about the appropriations coming to their districts and not credit the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act as a reason to this. Several Republicans who voted against the law are now bragging about several projects and benefits.

The Supreme Court made being a bigot legal. The rulings for a Colorado web designer, a UPS worker and a Catholic school have immunity created a paradise for Christian nationalism. They rolled back Biden student debt relief and eliminated affirmative action.

They kept voting rights in tact for now and forced Republican states to recreate non partisan congressional maps (which Republicans likely ignore).

Scientists have determined that the Earth has become a lot hotter. Many cities in the country have record breaking temperatures. 

Over 400 mass shootings this year alone. The latest mass shootings over the July 4th weekend have lead to calls for gun control. Republicans refuse to take up any legislation that involves a ban on semi-automatic assault rifles, the most commonly used instrument in mass shootings.

The noise is demanding that Biden is replaced. Even though Bidenomics has put Americans to work and has benefited the country, Biden has a job approval at 42%. He is 80 years old and has used a sleep apnea machine to curb his snoring and stuttering. He has made several gaffes and many on social media are trying to be arm chair doctors. 

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks on the new energy efficient school buses.

They are concerned about his health despite the president having a doctor on scene and has round the clock protection from the U.S. Secret Service. 

They are still running on the notion that California governor Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton will be replacing Biden.

Leftists are demanding the Democratic National Committee hold debates. They want Biden to face controversial opponents Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson.

The leftists are demanding that Iowa and New Hampshire are back on the voting schedule after Jaime Harrison and Biden approved South Carolina to first state for the primaries.

The far right is also pushing Kennedy as a viable candidate to face Biden. Kennedy and actress Cheryl Hines are risking their careers. Kennedy has pushed anti-vaccine and far right extremist noise despite his pledge to be a Democratic candidate. Kennedy doing push ups has the far right going gaga. 

The Russo-Ukraine war continues on. The Russians are having more difficulty now that the armed mercenaries the Wagner Group defected. The Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin went into hiding after he was expelled to Belarus. But the dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s claims he left and is back in Russia. The allegations could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg.

Prigozhin tried to overthrow Russian dictator Vladimir Putin after his mercenaries saw strategic losses and a difficulty of getting resources. The Wagner Group had a day of almost overthrowing the Kremlin.

France has seen days of unrest after a cop shot and killed an unarmed teen in a vehicle.

The killing of Nahel Merzouk. In Nanterre, residents started a protest outside the police headquarters on 27 June, which later escalated into rioting as demonstrators set cars alight, destroyed bus stops, and shot fireworks at police.

The junk food media took an unauthorized picture of Prince Harry with his daughter Lilibit. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have sued the British tabloid The Daily Mirror, The Daily Mail and News Corp for invasion of privacy. The royals have seen a spike in threats against their lives.

Yes, folks are working two jobs. I am a testimony of that. But I am confident that in the short term I will have all the resources to reapply for the job I prefer.

The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more hours than 157 House members and 36 senators.

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

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.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

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.

Real Reasons To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is!

  27. PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS

Jobs are looking good despite fears of an economic slowdown.

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. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 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

Always showboating.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus 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.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that women deserve the right to safe medical procedures. Let them know that their failure to pass legislation to lower prices are the reasons why the economy is in a free fall.
