Unemployment

Seems like the abysmal U.S. jobs report for April has lit a fire under former SNL legend Jon Lovitz. The actor and comedian went after lazy people who are fine with the government paying their way.

Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Heroes Act. House Democrats said it gives money to “governments who desperately need funds.” But it also gives lots of money to people who don't need funds. Maryland, which even The Washington Post admits is “flush with cash,” got enough extra money to pass a budget that “hands bonuses to every state worker.”

On Wednesday, CNN showed a further commitment to unseriousness and a refusal to engage in basic journalism by spending nearly three times (2.72) times more time over a 12-hour period on Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) losing a role in House GOP leadership than the multiple economic crises facing the country, ranging from the Colonial pipeline hack to gasoline shortages to inflation to stagnant…

Joe Biden was all geared up to go out last week and boast about the one million jobs the economy had added in April. But then the actual numbers came out, and . . . psych! Only 266,000 new jobs, 73% less than Biden was planning to brag about! But not to worry, Joe: the New York Times has got your back! Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Elisabeth Bumiller, the NYT's Washington bureau chief,…

Fox Business host Charles Payne told the American people what many in the media wouldn’t dare say: Giving people money to not work doesn’t incentivize them to find a job.

With Kristin Fisher having left to join the evil empire, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy soldiered on during Monday’s briefing and found success in repeatedly questioning Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the fallout from Friday’s jobs report and whether increased unemployment benefits are keeping people from wanting to rejoin the labor force.

CNN recently had a rough day when it conceded realities that underscored why President Joe Biden’s stimulus monstrosity was proving to be a disaster for the economy.

For MSNBC senior business correspondent and host Stephanie Ruhle, Friday's woeful jobs numbers prove that in addition to the recent $2 trillion COVID stimulus, the U.S. needs to adopt the White House's expanded definition of "infrastructure" and spend an addition $4 trillion.

Early in the 7:00 a.m. ET hour, ABC’s Good Morning America excitedly hyped projections that the April jobs report about to be released would show that the U.S. economy added one million jobs, however, when the actual abysmal numbers were released a short time later, the broadcast never found time to update viewers with the bad news.

Despite his own broadcast having just aired a report detailing how excessive unemployment checks being doled out by the Biden administration were leading to serious employee shortages across the country and threatening the post-pandemic economic recovery, co-host Anthony Mason still refused to accept the reality that big government was causing a big problem.

My major takeaway from President Biden's joint address to Congress is that he and his handlers are continuing to employ the Democrats' primary strategy from the Obama years: Never let a crisis go to waste. To scare the American people into accepting his reckless spending proposals, Biden is leveraging the pandemic, which means he is framing it as still hot, raging and dangerous, while…

ABC followed the lead on Wednesday night of fellow broadcast networks CBS and NBC with their largely supportive coverage of President Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress. In ABC’s case, they called it a “Make America Feel Good Night” and “Make America Feel Pride Night” by “talk[ing] direction to people” following “an incredibly bold first 99 days” amidst the GOP’s “endless…

In contrast to how they reacted to President Trump’s first address to Congress, NBC News was over the moon at President Biden’s remarks before a joint session, calling it a “remarkable speech” filled with a “very popular agenda” and given by a President who “rose to the moment that we were facing as a country” with supposedly little opposition from Republicans.

After over a year of Democrats and their allies in the liberal media repeatedly demanding trillions of taxpayer dollars be spent on COVID relief and expanding unemployment benefits, on Friday, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle discovered people were deciding to rely on government checks rather than return to work. She even confronted a top economic advisor for the Biden White House about the…
