| Jobs aplenty. However, the results are mixed. |
Eight months to go and Biden still faces opposition from his own base. However, many are concerned that his opponent will return to power and wreak more havoc despite his four years prior.
Of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the jobs report details how many jobs were spread across the United States. Some areas seen job growth while others saw job losses.
Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing up shop. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.
Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford rent or car payments.
Job creation topped expectations in February and pointed to a still-vibrant U.S. labor market, even though the unemployment rate moved higher
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 275,000 for the month while the jobless rate moved higher to 3.9%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for payroll growth of 198,000, a step slower from the downwardly revised gain of 229,000 in January. The December gain also was revised down to 290,000 from 333,000.
The jobless level increased even though the labor force participation rate held steady at 62.5%.
Average hourly earnings, watched closely as an inflation indicator, showed a slightly less than expected increase for the month and a deceleration from a year ago. Wages rose just 0.1% on the month, one-tenth of a percentage point below the estimate, and were up 4.3% from a year ago, below the 4.5% gain in January and slightly below the 4.4% estimate.
Markets showed little reaction to the news, with futures tied to the major averages around flat. Treasury yields, however, were sharply lower..
There could be a political bump.
There were 87 mass shootings this year. We are only one week in March.
Israel is still killing civilians. The world leaders are getting tired of Israel. The U.S., Great Britain and European Union are losing favor with the East and Global South.
Russia is still killing civilians and citizens of their own country. Many point out hypocrisy when it comes to Israel and Russia. Russia is being sanctioned heavily for Alexyei Navalny. Israel is being shielded despite killing over 30,000 Palestinians. Israel has ignored the International Court of Justice ruling. The Arab League is warning that Israel will be kicked out and trade will end soon. The U.S. could be kicked out of Arab countries if they continue to obstruct UN resolutions.
President Joe Biden enters March with optimism and confidence he will win the 2024 presidential race against his rival, former president Donald J. Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris sat with three House Speakers. Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson. McCarthy ended his term abruptly when he was ousted from his role. Johnson is barely holding on now. Pelosi successfully led the Democrats through achievements despite Republicans obstructionism.
Biden took a button from Marjorie Taylor Greene with the name of Laken Riley, the newest tool in the Republican white supremacist playbook. Biden said illegal immigration which caused Nancy Pelosi to react to it.

| Sleepy Joe or Angry Joe? Can't the Republicans stay on a message? |
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Nikema Williams, Dan Golden, Emilia Sykes, Kathy Manning, Frederica Wilson, Brad Schneider, Jennifer McClellan and Debbie Dingell were simping for Israel.
Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Greg Cesar, and Maxwell Frost protested Biden's hardline stance on Israel.
Shontel Brown invited the woman who was indicted by Ohio for having an emergency miscarriage. Brittney Watts was named dropped. Kate Cox, the mother who sued Texas after being denied an emergency termination was named dropped.
John Lewis was name dropped. House Speaker Mike Johnson finally got up to clap for his fallen colleague who was then a civil rights activist. Biden demanded they pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Biden went off script to taunt Republicans. Name checked insufferable senator Lindsey Graham after the senator uttered "Thank God" as he was wrapping up.
Biden called the Republicans on their bluff about immigration. James Lankford uttered yes, when Biden laid out the bipartisan bill. He called the Republicans out for not reading the bill and simping for Trump.
Steve Nikoui, whose son Kareem was killed in the withdrawal, had words for the president during his State of the Union speech. He was detained and cited.
Katie Britt's Republican Response was lukewarm. She dug into issues that appealed to Republicans like the border, inflation, crime and women's rights. But it was the crocodile tears and insults to Biden that made her response a punchline for the Democrats and late night hosts.
Republicans, Fox, X, Truth Social and Newsmax called Biden "angry." They were zeroed in on the coughing, the mentions of my predecessor, mentions of Laken Riley, cheered Greene for her idiocy, tweeted about George Santos, attacked Johnson and were complaining about immigration and Palestinian protesters. Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most annoying media personality in America called Biden a "radical" because he dared responded to the heckling from Greene and other idiot Republicans. Biden admits to having stutter and acid reflux when he gets winded. That's why these idiots claim Biden is old. Reminder, they are not doctors. They are arm chair annoyances. Softball Hannity called Biden “Jacked-Up Joe” and the moniker received a round of applause from Democrats.
Hannity has for months suggested on his prime-time show that Biden is in cognitive decline and not fit for office. But he took a different approach Thursday following Biden’s energetic State of the Union address.

| Alabama senator Katie Britt shows the country her kitchen but failed on messaging. |
This is officially a two man race. The incumbent Joe Biden versus presumptive Republican nominee Donald J. Trump. Biden is facing a revengeful candidate, a lot of protesters demanding he ends aid to Israel and acknowledge the war crimes, a fickle public who still believes the economy is bad even though it isn't, folks still complaining about inflation despite it declining and of course, every gaffe made is a complaint on his age.
The president also has so many issues on his mind. Like for example, the partisan gridlock that falls on Congress.
Members of the Democratic Party are restraining themselves from endorsing Biden because of his staunch support of Israel.
Adam Schiff becomes the California senate nominee. He will face off against a Republican who could be potentially a threat.
Kyrsten Sinema announced she will retire. The independent senator was trailing against Ruben Gallego and Kari Lake. She, Mitt Romney and Joe Manchin (who are retiring) wanted to push for bipartisan and moderation. Sinema, James Lankford and Chris Murphy wanted to pass a bipartisan immigration bill. The Republicans in the Senate opposed it at the last minute. They were warned by Trump to vote against it.
Nikki Haley and Dean Phillips dropped out of the presidential race. Haley refused to endorse Trump. Phillips endorsed Biden. Marianne Williamson reentered the race. She is still eliminated from the race despite this.
Minnesota and Michigan voters pushed uncommitted into the double digits. It was because of Arab American, Muslim and North African American voters. They feel that Biden is too willing to support Israel.
Biden wants to fight shrinkflation.
The CEO of Kellogg's Brands told Americans that eating cereal for dinner saves money. He makes so much freaking money and his products are astronomically expensive despite inflation levels are returning to normal.

| Trump victory after Super Tuesday puts him as the presumptive nominee. He is bleeding money and is trying to make Republican donors pay for his legal woes. |
Trump must cough up money fast. The New York judgment and E. Jean Carroll decision have put a major dent in his wallet. The former president must pay or have his assets seized. He been trying to court Elon Musk, Republican donors and the RNC to pay for his legal woes.
The impeachment inquiry was a bust. The so called informant was arrested by the FBI for lying about the Bidens accepting bribes. The suspect was engaging with Russians and deliberately took misinformation and leaked it to Rudy Giuliani and Republicans.
Fani Willis will find out if she is going to removed from the Georgia election interference trial. Many of the witnesses on Trump's defense team are idiots and liars.
Rupert Murdoch is a creepy old man. He is again engaged at the age of 92. He will be marrying Elena Zhukova, 67, a retired molecular biologist whom he started dating in the summer. The former Fox CEO was forced out after the Dominion Systems settlement.
Smartmatic is suing Fox and far right outlets for $2 billion.
Haiti is on the verge of collapse. Gang violence and corruption has made the nation the most dangerous in the Caribbean.
No one in America is talking about the genocide in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
No one in America is talking about the conflicts in Sudan, Pakistan or Brunei.

| Couldn't change minds or votes. |
The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more 50 hours a week while 157 House members and 36 senators work on average of 25 hours a week.
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.

Monthly reminders:
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. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life, it may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With union being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices or supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials, you could lose your job.
Real Reasons To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is! The main reasons why some are not working.

- WAGE THEFT
- TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON JOB POSTING BUT DECEPTION UPON HIRING
- BEING LAID OFF DUE TO CLOSING OR STAFF REDUCTION
- DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY OR PROPRETY
- OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES
- BEING UNDOCUMENTED IN FEAR OF I.C.E. OR U.S. AGENCIES
- BEING PUBLICLY OUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING SHAMEFUL ACTS
- PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS
- PUBLICLY SUPPORTING OR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAEL
Jobs are looking good despite fears.
Companies are cautious about hiring 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.
We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, gun violence 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.

| No one bought the message that Biden was too old. Dean Phillips fades away. |
Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.
Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience.
Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent. Their leadership has 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.
Keep pressure on them with Israel.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should help Israel any further.
They are feeling it. Democrats know the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies. They know that Biden is under extreme pressure to do something. Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters have vowed to never back Biden putting his reelection chances in danger.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
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 you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
