Economy

Leave it to The New York Times to still somehow sink itself by stoking a dumb conspiracy theory just before poor economic numbers hit the Trump administration. Just prior to the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics report showing hiring had stalled in August with only 22,000 jobs added, Times chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman shot his own publication in the…

It’s pretty hilarious to read economic dunce-in-chief Paul Krugman squawk over President Donald Trump supposedly making a housing crisis that the columnist’s beloved Bidenomics drastically exacerbated in the first place, worse.

Over the years, our government has expanded dramatically, all with the objective of improving our lives. Yet, with all of this, confidence that Americans express in our country and its major institutions has plummeted. Of 18 of the nation’s major institutions, per a recent Gallup survey, there are only three in which 50% or more now express a “great deal or quite a lot” of confidence.

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Jackie Alemany says, regarding the possible firing of Lisa Cook for having made false statements on multiple mortgage applications, "Not to be dramatic here, but it does sound like the potential stability of the global economy sort of hangs in the balance."

On Morning Joe, Katty Kay invites former ESPN podcast host Pablo Torre to comment on President Trump's efforts to oust Lisa Cook as a member of the Federal Reserve, and his plans to send federal agents to Chicago to arrest more illegal immigrants. Torre's meandering, messy commentary is a combination of perplexity and pathos.

New York Times has-been Paul Krugman has enough trouble trying to sell his bona fides as a serious economist without making himself look more foolish mucking about with issues beyond his imaginary expertise. Federal law as it pertains to the president’s ability to fire Federal Reserve governors is no exception.

The much-publicized exchange between Bed Bath & Beyond chairman Marcus Lemonis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a lesson for the whole country. We shoppers look back fondly on the marketing acumen that, starting with one store in 1971, built Bed Bath & Beyond into a retail giant that once had 365 stores nationwide.

The Trump economy just keeps defying all the media crystal ball predictions of economic catastrophe, but the evening networks revealed an impulse to ignore good news that benefits the president.

Leave it to one of the clowns at MSNBC’s Morning Joe to compare President Donald Trump to the murderous Communist Chinese government because of his beef with the Federal Reserve.

Inflation in July, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s favored gauge, inched lower on a monthly basis, fueling hopes of an interest rate cut when the central bank meets in September.

U.S. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was even stronger than initially reported, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) announced Thursday.

In an interesting editorial choice, CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip elected to keep credibly-accused human trafficker, wifebeater and MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego García off the table and away from any meaningful panel discussion. Phillip instead elected to do a brief blurb on Abrego García to close the show.

MSNBC’s James Woods-dubbed “media gnat” Ali Velshi continues to illustrate why socialist media talking heads know as much about sound economics as flat-earthers know about astrophysics.
