The May 2023 Jobs Report has been revised from 339,000 jobs to an incredible 432,000 jobs. The Biden Boom continues and the economy is stronger than ever!

Time for another monthly jobs update!

33.8 million jobs = 16 years Clinton/Obama
13.1 million jobs = 27 months Biden
1.9 million jobs = 16 years Bush/Bush/Trump 

Almost 7 times as many Biden jobs as last 3 Republicans COMBINED!




Job creation rate per month under Biden has been almost 50 times what it was under last 3 GOP Presidents.

Look at this stat - Republicans averaged 10,000 jobs per month over 16 years. Last month under Biden it was 339,000.

Republicans fail to create jobs for Americans giving us recessions and massive job loss.




Of the 49 million jobs created since 1989, when a new age of globalization began, 47 million, 96% have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them. 

GOP economy track record in this period among worst in U.S. history.





The claim that the Republicans are better over Democrats on the economy is a total fallacy. 

Since 1989

Democrats = growth, lower deficits, U.S. progress
Republicans = recession, higher deficits, U.S. decline

Data is very clear about this. GOP has been an economic wrecking ball.




So much of the current economic conversation has been shaped by Republican lies and inventions. 

The last 3 GOP Presidents brought recessions and spiraling deficits.  Only Democratic  Presidents have gotten the deficit down. 

Democrats have been the party of fiscal responsibility.




Look at this new data from the @Conferenceboard - worker satisfaction is at an all time high in America thanks to President Biden.




Inflation was only 2% in Feb and March, and real disposable incomes rose 3.6% over last 9 months.

The lowest unemployment since 1969 and more people have jobs today than ever before in the modern era.

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter Biden wrote Zhao, the director of Harvest Fund Management, according to Shapley.

“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” the now-53-year-old went on. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”

This reads exactly like a mafia-type shakedown from the Godfather.  Dirty Hunter is making China an offer they can't refuse backed by his Dad's political influence in return for money.  This alone violates several federal laws.  It's incredible that the IRS and FBI have had such evidence for years and nothing has been done.  Imagine if this were Trump and his family?

President Joe Biden will unveil a $42 billion plan aimed at providing high-speed internet access to all red states and blue states. President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is set to bring world-class connectivity to everyone in America.





Biden announces $42 billion high-speed internet initiative

- President Joe Biden is kicking off a more than $42 billion plan to give every American household access to high-speed internet by 2030.

-The initiative is the next stage of Biden’s push to invest in America ahead of his reelection bid.

-White House officials compared the plan to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s effort to bring electricity to rural America in the 1930s.



WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is kicking off a more than $42 billion plan to give every American household access to high-speed internet by 2030.

The funds, already allotted by Congress through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and overseen by the U.S. Department of Commerce, are slated to be divvied up over the next two years through the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program. The initiative is the next stage of Biden’s push to invest in America ahead of his reelection bid.

“Let us agree in the 21st century America, high-speed internet is not a luxury, it’s a necessity,” said Vice President Kamala Harris speaking at the White House.

“Whether it’s connecting people to the digital economy, manufacturing fiber optic cable in America or creating good-paying jobs building internet infrastructure in the states, the investments we’re announcing will increase our competitiveness and spur economic growth across the country for years to come,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

Each state will receive a minimum of $107 million, with 19 states receiving over $1 billion. Texas is slated to receive more than $3.3 billion under the program.

White House officials compared the plan to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s effort to bring electricity to rural America in the 1930s.

“Put simply, high-speed internet is a necessity in today’s society,” said Mitch Landrieu, White House infrastructure coordinator. “President Biden and Vice President Harris are committed to leaving no community behind as we connect everyone in America to high-speed internet.”

More than 7% of the country, or more than 8.5 million homes and small businesses, is considered underserved, with internet speed below the government’s standards of at least 25 megabits per second for downloads and 3 Mbps for uploads.

More bogus disinformation. Hilarious! No sources and no nothing. An absolute joke. Gullible right wingers will believe anything just like the phony Durham probe that was a total embarrassment for the GOP.     

Meanwhile, Criminal Donald gets one step closer to prison each day for stealing top secret military information and discussing it with people who don't have a top secret security clearance.

CNN released audio of this treasonous traitor admitting these documents were not declassified. He has recently been lying publicly that he declassified them. Lock him up, he is a national security risk.

Breaking: CNN has obtained the audio recording of Trump acknowledging that he had “secret” military information that was not declassified, six months after leaving office. It’s a key piece in Jack Smith’s case against the former president — and is airing now on CNN.

Stunning. In the audio, Trump admits the info is classified, discusses the contents of the docs w/people without clearances, & acknowledges he can’t declassify when he’s not POTUS. This violates numerous rules of handling classified info legally & safely.

The tape -- which the jury will hear whether or not Trump testifies -- is devastating.  He says "this is what DoD gave me."  and "I should have declassified it then now I can't."  and "this is him[Milley."] & "it is like highly confidential and secret" to the guffaws of audience.

'This Is Still Secret’: CNN Obtains Audio Of Trump Discussing Sensitive Military Document
“I have a big pile of papers. This thing just came up," the former president said in the clip.



CNN obtained audio of former President Donald Trump discussing sensitive military documents he took with him after leaving the White House.

In the 2-minute audio clip, Trump can be heard describing a document compiled by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when Trump was president, on the potential attacks against Iran. The discussion of the file was recorded during a 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, with people working on Milley’s memoir.

“He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t it amazing?” Trump says of Milley in the audio clip as the sound is heard of that appears to be shuffling papers. “I have a big pile of papers. This thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this ― this is off the record, but ― they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.”

“All sorts of stuff, pages long. Let’s see here,” the former president continues. “Isn’t that amazing. This totally wins my case, you know, except that it is like highly confidential, secret, this is secret information.”

Trump went on to say the papers he was showing his guest were classified.

“See, as president I could have declassified it,” Trump said in the clip. “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”

The recording is reportedly a key piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s case into Trump’s handling of classified files after his presidency.

Federal prosecutors indicted Trump on 37 criminal counts this month, accusing the former president of repeatedly risking national security and undermining the government’s efforts to see the return of boxes of documents from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. The indictment cites the conversation obtained by CNN.

Trump has rejected the claims and pleaded not guilty to all counts. He has said he had the absolute right to take anything he wanted when he left the White House under the Presidential Records Act and that he had a standing order to declassify anything removed from the Oval Office during his presidency.

Prosecutors, however, appear to have homed in on Trump’s own words during their investigation. The indictment lays out at least two conversations — including the one in the CNN file — in which he acknowledged material in his possession was still classified.

New recording shows Trump discussing ‘secret’ documents he did not declassify



A newly released audio recording obtained by CNN includes former President Trump discussing holding onto classified documents in a 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The recording, which first aired on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” offers new insights into a conversation that is a piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against Trump over mishandling classified documents and attempting to keep them from the government. According to the indictment, the conversation took place during an interview with a writer and publisher for a book at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey on July 21, 2021.

The two-minute recording suggests that Trump was holding pieces of classified information about the Pentagon’s plans to attack Iran. The recording starts off with Trump saying, “these are bad sick people,” while his staffer pointed to Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“He said that I wanted to attack Iran, Isn’t it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this – this is off the record but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him,” Trump said on the recording, as the sound of papers shuffling could be heard in the background.

“I was just thinking, because we were talking about it. And you know, he said, ‘He wanted to attack Iran, and what…” Trump could be heard saying before adding, “These are the papers.”

Other lines from the conversation, including Trump being heard saying that the document was still classified, but “as president I could have declassified it” were included in the indictment. In an additional part of the recording, Trump could also be heard saying “it’s incredible” before asking someone to “bring some Cokes in please.”

“It’s so cool. I mean, it’s so, look, her and I, and you probably almost didn’t believe me, but now you believe me,” Trump said.

A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told The Hill they had no comment at this time.
