U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and unemployment rate fell to 3.5, matching lowest level in 50 years & More Black Men Have Jobs Than Ever Before

 

More Black Men Have Jobs Than Ever Before 

Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.

Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.

The Friday report on nonfarm payrolls makes it clear that the economy is much stronger than thought by those who were predicting U.S. growth would slow dramatically or contract near year end. It indicates that tariffs on imports from steel have been less of a drag than President Donald Trump’s critics expected and the U.S. economy has withstood the headwinds of slowing growth in economies around the globe.

CYA: Nikki Haley says the Confederate flag was about "service, and sacrifice, and heritage" until Dylan Roof "hijacked" it

Via Billy

 

Now she comes up with this since she sees she has an electability problem with Southern voters.  Screw you.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) says that Dylann Roof, who shot and killed nine black Americans in a Charleston church in 2015, "hijacked" the meaning of the Confederate flag.

"Here is this guy that comes out with his manifesto, holding the Confederate flag, and had just hijacked everything that people thought of," Haley said on "The Glenn Beck Podcast" Thursday.
"People saw it as service and sacrifice and heritage, but once he did that, there was no way to overcome it."

Comment on Danish Academic: U.N. Might Use Military to Enforce Climate Agenda

 

The essential element far more important than large numbers is strategy & tactics. In fact, small groups are desirable to infiltrate and sabotage. Infiltration can lead to manipulation and confusion. Who do you trust? What comms are truly secure? Certainly these things change day by day and rapidly in a fluid environment.

An even larger problem hovers over the country; while we're busy fighting domestically (with or without UN presences/influence) other countries see this as opportunity to enter the country, combined. The US populace is now so damn diverse that any of the traditional markers of your combatant are near worthless.

Too, already observed many times is how UN troops enter a hot zone then disguise themselves by shedding their UN identifications (uniform, IDs, etc). Yet they still retain loyalty to the UN mission. They operate as sappers and the only telltale of their presence is the brutality in their wake.

The war fought within the USA will be small scale battles fought by individual cells. Likely there will not be combined forces as we know them today. Yet the continued victories of multiple small cells will win the war. Think of it as a war with multiple fronts and new fronts emerging in short amounts of time. Sounds like VN, actually. One benefit will be we won't be tied by stupid ROE from assholes in D.C.

Science vs. the Church of Climate Change

 

Suppose your second grade child came home from school and said, “Today we learned that 2 + 2 equals 10.”  You might think that maybe your child wasn’t paying close attention, so you gently correct the error and include a few examples of simple addition facts for security.

Now suppose your second grade child comes home from school day after day and you realize that much of what is being taught in science and math class is blatantly false.  Moreover, as a trained scientist, you have first-hand knowledge of the subject matter and can verify that what is being taught is just not true.  Many intelligent and educated parents are facing this dilemma on a regular basis and have no effective means to monitor or control the curriculum in their children’s school.

On a national level, suppose our government declared that the Earth was indeed flat and proposed a multi-trillion dollar project to build a seawall around the edges of the oceans to prevent water from escaping.  Crazy . . . right?

TN Governor Lee is still undecided on whether or not to positively affirm to the POTUS that Tennessee wants to admit more refugees

Via Ralph "Maybe we should welcome with open arms industrious, educated and financially secure white refugees from South Africa who are having their ancestral lands and business enterprises appropriated from them, without compensation, on the basis of their race.

Likewise ethnically native refugees from Sweden, Nederlands, UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain who are being demographically displaced and discriminated against for adhering to Christian values and western social mores, and persecuted for practicing their Christian faith on their ancestral homelands.

In exchange, we will be happy to expatriate those existing refugees of ours who are turning Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Portland (Maine), and countless smaller communities all over the nation, into pockets of third world misery and strife.  A few members of our own U.S. Congress come to mind that should lead the way. Catholic Charities, et al, can then petition the EU to fund their financial empires and globalist ambitions; just not here."

Members of Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s staff would not say Wednesday whether Lee might cave to immigration activists and members of the religious left on letting more refugees into the state.

As reported earlier this week, Lee has to decide, per an executive order from President Donald Trump.

A large contingent of Tennessee Star readers said this week on our website and our Facebook page that they do not want Lee to allow more refugees in. Readers said if Lee did so that he would make himself a one-term governor.

RacingJunk has First-Row Seat on Ice Speed Record Run

 

Dave Sarna is a racing enthusiast. It doesn’t matter whether he’s moving fast or slow, whether he’s flying, driving, sailing or going fast on frozen water. In 2013, he dragged this Racing Junk contributor to the Bonneville Salt Flats to try to break 200 mph with a college-backed student racing team and a big-block Pontiac Firebird.

Dave broke the car, but four years later he got into the 200 MPH Club. A week later, he drove my 2017 Oakland across the 406-mile Wisconsin section of the Yellowstone Trail to raise $8,500 for a camp for blind kids. The Oakland’s top speed was about 40 mph and Dave said that it was scarier driving it than the Bonneville racer.

Madam Speaker, no more delay on US-Mexico-Canada free trade deal

Via Billy

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is running out of excuses for delaying a vote on the United States Canada Mexico Trade Agreement. After more than a year of wrangling and debating, this bill would pass with bipartisan support, and Washington could hold a rare and joyous bill signing ceremony as a gift to the American people a few days before Christmas.

The benefits of USMCA are well established and generally accepted by scholars on both sides of the political aisle. It could increase American jobs by some 170,000 and increase growth by 0.35 percent over several years when implemented, according to the International Trade Commission. It could be a boon for Mexico and Canada. This trade deal also would set the stage for additional free trade agreements to come, for example, with Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Finally, it would strengthen the United States as Washington labors to deliver a win in the trade disputes with China, as it would continue to isolate China as the bad actor on the international scene.
