RUTHFULLY YOURS

When President Donald Trump tapped economist EJ Antoni to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the elites in Washington clucked their thick tongues. Antoni might have a doctorate in economics, but he’s not “widely recognized”! He’s tweeted some things that turned out wrong! Worse still, he seems to like Trump!

But on Friday, the BLS proved once again why it is in desperate need of an overhaul by an outsider such as Antoni.

When it released its monthly jobs report on Friday, the BLS said the economy had created 22,000 jobs in August – a weak number that generated countless headlines.

But who knows what the actual number is? These days, you could throw a dart at a wall while blindfolded and be as accurate as this agency.

In each monthly report, the BLS revises the previous two months’ numbers as additional data come in.

You’d think that these revisions would be rather small, given the massive size of the survey it conducts each month – more than 100,000 businesses and government agencies.

You’d be wrong.

The chart below shows the initial report, and the subsequent revisions, since the November elections. Does this look like the work of top professionals?

House Speaker Mike Johnson made a stunning revelation Thursday in response to questions from CNN’s Manu Raju about President Donald Trump’s use of the term “hoax” to describe the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files. In defending the president, Johnson disclosed that Trump had once acted as an FBI informant against Jeffrey Epstein—a fact that has never before been publicly acknowledged by a sitting congressional leader.

“What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him,” Johnson said. “He has never said or suggested or implied—I’ve talked to him about this many times, many times. He is horrified. It’s been misrepresented. He’s not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil. He believes that himself.”

Johnson then dropped the bombshell revelation.

“When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down,” Johnson said, appearing to confirm for the first time that Trump had assisted federal authorities in building a case against Epstein.

The speaker emphasized that Epstein’s crimes had long disgusted Trump. “The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It’s detestable to him. He and I have spoken about this as recently as 24 hours ago,” Johnson explained. “What he’s talking about is the Democrats who are doing this with impure motives. If they cared so much about this, why didn’t they do something during the four years of the Biden administration when the Biden DOJ had all the records? They didn’t say a word about it. Now, they’re doing it for political purposes. Not everybody, but a lot of them, and that’s what the President’s frustrated about.”

Since the very microsecond in 2015 when billionaire builder and TV star Donald Trump descended the escalator in NY City’s splendiferous Trump Tower with his gorgeous wife Melania by his side and pronounced his candidacy as a Republican for the presidency of the United States of America, each and every leftist, liberal, progressive (LLP] from all over the world went insane.

A big part of that insanity was fear. After a 15-year run hosting the mega-successful TV show The Apprentice, candidate Trump’s adversaries knew that they were up against a guy with not only international name recognition as an innovative real estate developer, but also brains, an Ivy League education, a billionaire who could not be bought, bribed or compromised, and who also had that rare and elusive X factor known as charisma.

In fact, it was the late political columnist and TV personality, who was also a psychiatrist, Charles Krauthammer, who originally coined  the phrase Bush Derangement Syndrome that ended up fitting candidate Trump so perfectly…hence, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). That “syndrome” was defined by Krauthammer as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of”––in 2015 and beyond, Donald Trump.

In fact, Krauthammer, in an op-ed, commented that—in addition to general hysteria about Trump—the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was the “inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and … signs of psychic pathology.”

EXCERPTS ONLY 

Whether right or left, Muslim or Christian, anti-Semites speak of Jews as people who pull the strings in culture, politics and especially finance. They assume we are all united in this conspiracy. In reality, not only is there no conspiracy, we Jews are also as divided among ourselves as any other people.

The ‘progressives’

Most Jews continue to identify as Democrats in America, much as they once backed Labour in Britain, the Liberals in Canada and the Socialists in France. Left-wing Jews, like senator Bernie Sanders and those in progressive-dominated media and Hollywood, have already broken with Israel. The author David Grossman and other left-wing scholars have even embraced the ritual denunciation of Israel, as an ‘apartheid’ state and an inherently ‘genocidal’ regime.

In some ways, the progressives really are the new Herodians, heirs to that ignominious tradition of speaking yes to power which marked the days of Mark Antony to the end of the Julian dynasty. If pro-Roman Jews were seduced by classical Greco-Roman culture, progressive Jews have been influenced by the relentlessly anti-Israel coverage of media outlets like the Guardian, NPR, the BBC, Agence France Presse, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, the New York Times and of course the state-controlled media of Russia and China. Outlets like the courageous Free Press may challenge, say, Hamas’s exaggerated claims of forced starvation. But such efforts have been ignored by the mainstream press, and treated with hostility by the progressive outlets further to the left.

Many left-leaning Jews seem more focussed on showcasing their virtue than seriously considering how Israel can deal with its murderous enemies. They also reflect the fact that, even before 7 October 2023, the majority of Jews disapproved of the current Israeli government. Netanyahu, a bungler whose failures on 7 October should have precipitated his downfall, is seen both by key Democrats and even many Jews as sustaining the war for his own political purposes. His regime has been described by the great Israeli historian, Benny Morris, as ‘the most corrupt’ regime in the Western world – an undoubted exaggeration, but with more than a grain of truth.

Amid the mainstream media’s unrelentingly anti-Israel coverage, support for the Jewish State among Democrats has fallen precipitously and is fading across the board, according to recent polling. Little wonder that universities, which were once major havens for Jews, have turned decisively against their Jewish students. Although Jewish himself, the head of the American Association of University Professors – the ultimate ‘confederacy of dunces’ – now also favours boycotts of Israeli professors. Tellingly, so-called progressives are not calling for the imposition of similar boycotts on the deeply repressive regimes of China, Russia, Iran or Qatar.

Today the majority of Senate Democrats, and even some candidates backed by Jewish-lobby giant AIPAC, oppose providing arms to Israel – a US ally in the midst of a war. Some, notably on the party’s leftist fringe, even embrace the kind of anti-Semitic memes that one also sees among French politicians like Jean Luc Mélenchon.

The ‘progressive’ animosity towards Israel is such that as many as 40 per cent of Jews may even vote for the openly anti-Zionist, pseudo-socialist Zohran Mamdani to be mayor of New York, the city with the largest Jewish diaspora in the world. This scion of Marxist royalty and favourite of Hamasniks has won the endorsement not only of anti-Israel politicians like senator Elizabeth Warren, but also of Jews like retiring congressman Jerry Nadler. He has garnered favourable coverage in the New York Times, too.
