Forward March!

Over 325.9 million people live in the United States. We have an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent and it hasn't changed since. The commonwealth of Puerto Rico has 1.4 million people still without power.

Gun violence has killed 5,000 people a month.

We have added 313,000 Jon's for the month of February.

Impressive given that wages are weak and people are not happy at their jobs.

People are cautious about getting federal jobs. The federal jobs are scarce.

Donald J. Trump wants to cut government and overtime pay for federal workers. He wants to also rollback regulations that protect workers.

The Jobs and Tax Cuts Act hasn't seen many improvements yet.

But stability in the job market is driving success. The folks at Bloomberg added

Payrolls rose 313,000 in February, compared with the 205,000 median estimate in a survey of economists, and the two prior months were revised higher by 54,000, Labor Department figures showed Friday. The jobless rate held at 4.1 percent, the fifth straight month at that level. Average hourly earnings increased 2.6 percent from a year earlier following a downwardly revised 2.8 percent gain.

U.S. stock futures and bond yields rose, as the report signaled the labor market remains strong and will keep driving economic growth. The wage figures show a cooling from a pace that spurred financial turbulence last month on concern that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates faster.

While the unemployment rate remains well below Fed estimates of levels sustainable in the long run, the rise in participation suggests the presence of slack that would keep policy makers to a gradual pace of hikes.

Hiring was strong across the board and particularly in goods-producing industries. Construction businesses added 61,000 jobs, while factories boosted payrolls by 31,000. Service providers added 187,000 workers, including about 50,000 in retail, a sector that has been under pressure.

“The upturn in the U.S. labor market will continue, with the effect of the tax reform, the weak U.S. dollar, interest rates are still low, and I expect more investment,” said Dirk Chlench, head of bond research at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg. He had estimated 300,000 job gains, the highest projection in Bloomberg’s survey. “There’s every reason to be optimistic about the U.S. economy."

We are in the fears of a retail collapse. The fall of Toys R Us is imminent. The company might start liquidating stores and close up shop forever.

Bon Ton has declared bankruptcy. Stores are closing and is on the verge of collapse.

The Weinstein Group was going to be bought by a movie distributor. It fell through. Now it's on the verge of collapse. Despite Harvey and Bob Weinstein's ouster, the company still has workers who may not see a paycheck.

The labor force rate remains unchanged as well. About 62.9 percent of Americans are working/overworked.

Okay, here's the reason to why Americans aren't working.

1. DEAD
2. BORN
3. IN PRISON
4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
6. IN HIGH SCHOOL
7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING
8. VOLUNTEER
9. DISABLED 
10. STAY AT HOME PARENT
11. RETIRED
12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN
13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED
14. NATURAL DISASTERS
15. ACTIVE MILITARY 
16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED
17. LAID OFF
18. FIRED FROM THE JOB
19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY
20. OUTSOURCING 

So if you actually believe that Trump is doing good, you might be right. The inept leader is rolling back regulations and pushing for tax cuts to get the ball rolling on job growth.

International Women's Day!

To honor the achievements of women.

To remind you that women of color contributed as well.

To remind you that 3 out of 4 women are sexually harassed by a male employer.

To remind you that women are mothers, daughters, grandmothers, athletes, entertainers, politicians, scientists, discoverers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and warriors.

To remind you that women are exploited in sex trafficking by individuals who use them in criminal activity.

To remind you that women are likely victims of gun violence from domestic violence.

To remind you that we must demand equal pay for women.

To remind you that transwomen are women too.

To remind you that in a male dominated world, women have a voice against sexual abuse, racism, gun violence and will hopefully change the demographics of Congress.

To remind you, that Hillary Clinton's loss isn't a setback. It's the beginning of a movement that will now hold men accountable.

Donald J. Trump is an example of why women need to speak out against the sexism in the United States.

Harvey Weinstein is an example of how Hollywood allowed the status quo go on far too long. They are changing it and it will eventually male to Washington, DC.

Women are the barrier of life. We should cherish their accomplishments.

In honor of the late Naomi Parker Fraley, the woman who inspired Rosey the Riveted.

Thank you.

West Virginia Lawmaker N-Tapped Lil' Wayne!

Saria Blair sings the blues. State lawmaker caught on camera saying racial slurs while rapping to Lil' Wayne.

A state delegate from West Virginia is in hot water after someone unearth her old social media posts. The delegate is 21 years old and is a Republican.

Her love for hip-hop makes it head scratching.

Saria Blair is facing a backlash after she was caught on camera singing Lil' Wayne's single Gonorrhea.

It was filmed on Snapchat.

Well she announced that she will no longer seek reelection.

When she won her election, she remarked about the use of the word. The folks at HuffPost added this.

In a December 2014 interview with the Charleston Gazette-Mail, Blair said she believed Americans are “past the point of looking at things from a racial perspective” and that talking about “racial tendencies” creates further division.

“The issue of race is never going to go away unless we stop talking about the issue of race and stop saying black power, white power, Hispanic power,” Blair told the Gazette. “As long as we keep creating that division it’s not going to be solved... I think harping on the racial issues, the racial tendencies, that enhances them.”

Lil' Tunechi aka Lil' Wayne.

Blair made history in November 2014 when she defeated a two-term incumbent delegate at the age of 18 to become the youngest elected legislator in U.S. history. Blair’s father, Craig Blair, is a Republican state senator in West Virginia and served as her 2014 campaign manager. On top of her legislative duties, she is currently studying economics and Spanish at West Virginia University.

Last week, the 21-year-old lawmaker was the only person in the West Virginia House of Delegates to vote against House Bill 4145, which sought to increase teachers’ pay by 5 percent. Public schools across West Virginia were closed for nearly two weeks as thousands of teachers went on strike to demand higher pay and lower health care premiums. 

“We’ve already voted out a pay raise, one that was fair and within our budget,” Blair told West Virginia News last Wednesday about her no vote.

This is what the Republican Party is. They have a party of idiots, morons, climate change deniers, anti-Black, anti-Latino, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim, anti-choice, anti-gun control and are stuck on Reagan.

Now as the party of Donald J. Trump, the party embraces extremism.

The War On Common Sense!

There were 25 officers killed. This one managed to make the news as well.

Burns me up when Republicans and conservatives use "war on cops" nonsense. That ridiculous narrative is often used when a police officer is killed in the line of duty by a Black suspect.

Whenever a cop answers a domestic violence call, they are most at risk of a potential attack. The issue of gun violence is front and center.

The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have the March for Our Lives rally on March 24.

This will hopefully get attention.

This so called Blue Lives Matter group often appear when the cops are killed by people of color.

There was a fatal police shooting in Clinton, Missouri.

The officer, Christopher R. Morton is the latest officer killed. He is one of over 20 officers killed this year. He is the one who gets partisan news coverage.

Two other officers Nick Kasper and Nathan Bettoncourt were injured but will survive.

Clinton is 70 miles from Kansas City.

The suspect was killed. SWAT believe he went out like punk.

Suspect shot at cops believing he was being set up.

The suspect was convicted of criminal activity stretching back decades.

Donald J. Trump, Gov. Eric Greitens, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Sen. Clarie McCaskill (D-MO) will offer their phony sympathy and condescending condolences.

Rep. Vick Hartzler (R-MO) offers her heart and fake sympathy as well.

Shooting deaths of police officers up 78% this year. We must restore law and order and protect our great law enforcement officers!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 28, 2016

(1/2) Grieving for the families & the officers of the Clinton Police Dept who lost another one of their own last night in the line of duty. Officer Christopher Ryan Morton gave the #UltimateSacrifice.

— Rep. Vicky Hartzler (@RepHartzler) March 7, 2018

(2/2) Two others injured. It's 7 mo to the day from when Clinton Officer Gary Michael was killed. I met with the dept last year after that incident; they're an amazing, professional, dedicated, caring unit. My prayers are with them all. #thinblueline #nogreaterlove @MSHPTrooperA

— Rep. Vicky Hartzler (@RepHartzler) March 7, 2018

What angers me, is that these lawmakers continue to allow this to happen. Instead of solving the problem of gun violence, they continue loosen laws that make easier for suspects to obtain firearms.

Also, the officers responded to the wrong house. They initially responded to a call of two women arguing. They ended up going to wrong house and suspect thought he was being jacked.

Regardless, there is no war on cops. It's a war on rational thought. Only stupid politicians offer silence and condolences. Rational politicians respond with action.

If you want cops to be protected, how about banning assault weapons.

Rachel Dolezal: My Journey Black Is On Netflix!

Guess who's Black?

Netflix is rewarding a woman who literally lied about her race.

Rachel Dolezal (known now as Nkechi Amare Diallo) has racial identity syndrome. Dolezal believes she's a Black woman trapped in a White woman's body. She fooled the city of Spokanne, Washington pretending to be a Black woman.

She would lead in rallies and earn a spot as the president of the western chapter of the NAACP.

Dolezal was well recognized as a patron saint of the Black community.

Or was she?

It was revealed that for years, Dolezal lived a lie. She would make up stories about her family and her upbringing. She was outed as a White woman by her parents.

Her parents were not too accepting of Rachel faking the funk. She would often date Black men with numerous children.

She would adopt children of color and claim them as her own blood.

She also gave birth to two biracial children after the controversy.

Netflix is documenting her in a series called The Rachel Divide.

The story about Dolezal's trans-racial life.

Nashville's Mayor Fizzled Out!

Democratic mayor Megan Barry resigns in disgrace after she admitted to stealing from the community while carrying on an affair with her security chief.

The show Nashville will end on CMT soon.

The real drama is really in Nashville. The mayor of Nashville-Davidson County is stepping down after she was indicted on felony theft charges. She took a plea deal and formally quit her position. The vice mayor David Briley will take over soon.

"While my time today as your mayor concludes, my unwavering love and sincere affection for this wonderful city and its great people will never come to an end."

The mayor was caught up in a sex scandal.

This sex scandal ended her career. Megan Barry resigned in shame.

She was a rising star in the Democratic Party. Hold up.

She ain't no rising star. She is a politician who used her power as mayor to steal from the people who voted for her.

She stole thousands from the community. She carried on an affair with her security detail chief. She is a married woman.

The mugshot of disgraced mayor Barry.

Her husband, Bruce Barry is looking for an out. He had enough of her antics. He supported her throughout her mayoral bid. But somewhere down the line, they lost touch.

She would have an affair with Metro Nashville Police sergeant Robert Forrest, Jr. The cop would resign in disgrace after he was caught using city funds without permission.

Her only son, Max died from a heroin overdose in Denver.

Somehow she didn't care about him. She went on luxury vacations with her boyfriend. While she was making love, Forrest took pictures of her goodies.

Now he could be facing criminal charges for taking pictures without permissions.

Parkland Survivor Speaks "The Right" Language!

Meet the Parkland shooting survivor who won't attend the March for Our Lives rally. The right is rallying behind Kyle Kashuv, a student who attacks fellow classmates David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez.

Fox News is diving into kookspiracy. The network is saying the other networks are ignoring Parkland shooting survivors who support the inept leader's arm all teachers proposals.

They give airtime to Colton Haab, a student who claimed CNN banned him after he refused to get a scripted question. Turns out that it was all a farce created by his father to discredit CNN. Fox News had to retract the story.

Also they call for the cannon firing of Broward County sheriff Scott Israel.

The other kookspiracy is that three county boys did a "stand down." That was not true and it's often peddled by far right blogs that it's the fault of Democrats and Barack Obama for every tragedy in the world.

These are the same creatures who believe that Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez and Cameron Kasky are "crisis actors" and are too dumb to understand politics. These creatures wrapping their tentacles around a shooting survivor who doesn't support the March for Our Lives rally on March 24.

Okay, the far right has latched on shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv, a student who openly supports Donald J. Trump and the Florida state government's ridiculous gun laws.

Kashuv has been making rounds on some of the networks. One in particular is the official propaganda of Trump and Republicans.

Martha MacCallum hosted Kashuv.

Kashuv begins his attack on fellow classmate Hogg and Kasky for their appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher.

Hogg told Maher that he hung up on Trump and his representatives from the White House.

Kashuv thought it was rude and disrespectful. He said that he was trying to control his anger at Hogg.

Yeah, the right started promoting this kid as the new hero against the #NeverAgain movement. Will this one become another Colton Haab?

Again, I won't waste my time attacking him. I believe his parents are responsible for the nonsense. They program their children to view politics as a bloodsport. Kashuv should praise his fellow classmates for standing up for what they believe in. Instead of attacking them, Kashuv should offer support.

Also there was another school shooting in the United States. The Huffman High School in Birmingham, Alabama was the scene of a mass shooting.

A 17 year old girl is killed and a 17 year old boy was injured. The Birmingham Police and Jefferson County boys say that this incident is considered accidental.

Trump, Gov. Kay Ivey, Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) were notified about it. And yet, they offer no solutions.

They rather use the power of prayer and silence. Worthless platitudes.
