This is how the left/media/democrats are reporting the great job numbers.
Dems hate this country, and I hate dems.

It’s the “Trump World Tower”, as opposed to the “Trump Tower”.

If you look at it from a certain angle, it looks as if The Trump World Tower as giving the finger to the UN. I wonder if that occurred to Trump when he had it built?

Years ago, a local street person who dressed and lived as a street person even though he actually has a home sat on a wall outside my office and ate his lunch. He would go to the chinese restraunt at the end of the block and they gave him left over fried rice and stuff un eaten. Not garbage mind you but food from the serving plates.

He un nerved my assistant so much she brought a large butcher knife from home and kept it in her desk drawer.

I knew the restrauntuer well and he thought that was a good use of the perfectly good but uneaten food. He was being charitable in his taiwan way.

The UN is hardly the organization that I go to for factual information on anything. It is Leftist and sees the world from the Leftist slant and constantly spouts Leftist positions and dogma. Let’s move it’s headquarters to some garden spot in Africa and see how nations send their people to it and how much it’s influence diminishes.

This is one of the new talking points of the week for the MSM.

They are re-cycling the Trump loves inequality trope.

Others are: The NK negotiations will turn out badly, are ill-conceived, or don’t focus enough on human rights within North Korea.

Or, Melania has disappeared. Trouble in the WH? Marital or Health-wise?

And, with respect to Samantha Bee, a bad words rating scale. Calling a white woman a C*** isn’t nearly as bad at the RACIST insult of comparing Valerie Jarett, a mildly black woman who identifies with her dark side, to an ape.

I knew it was in there some place.

However, the data from the U.S. Census Bureau he cited covers only the period through 2016, and he gave no comparative figures on the extent of poverty before and after Trump came into office in January 2017.

The UN is the solution to poverty.

They discuss solutions every day as they sip $500 wine in downtown Manhattan.

special rapporteur on extreme poverty, called on U.S. authorities to provide solid social protection and address underlying problems

Hey what other country provides these for their poor?

There are degrees of poverty . As the economy booms maybe the employable poor become employed while the unemployable get left behind. It is an illusion of worsening conditions when in reality it’s clarity on the true numbers of poverty.

They miss the glory days of the Obama administration when we had record high growth and full employment.

Or was that on Bizarro World?
