The U.S. added 114,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3 percent, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department. Economists expected the U.S. to add 175,000 jobs and keep the jobless rate steady at 4.1 percent, according to consensus estimates. The July jobs report comes two days after Federal Reserve officials hinted that they could begin cutting interest rates as soon as September. As both inflation and the U.S. job market keep cooling off, the Fed is aiming to bring rates down quickly enough to avoid a deeper slowdown, but slowly enough to keep prices...

The PLO’s money arm was the largest foreign principal for his law firm. “Will Doug Emhoff’s Legal Career Be an Issue for the Biden-Harris Ticket?” the New York Times asked four years ago.The newspaper noted that Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, was a partner at DLA Piper whose “lobbying clients” had included the governments of Afghanistan and Bahrain, as well as the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera Network and the Palestine Monetary Authority.DLA Piper was good to the Emhoff-Harris family with the family taking home $2.7 million in 2019 and $1.2 million in 2020. “To aspire to create wealth is...

Terrorists, criminal illegals, Chinese companies and corrupt government officials have nothing to fear. The Democrats’ media allies – the same people who proclaimed the demented Joe Biden “sharp as a tack” – are now working three shifts to erase the record of Kamala Harris, claiming that she was never Biden’s “border Czar” and so forth. This should focus attention on events Harris might prefer to forget, such as her opposition to Jackie Lacey, the first African American, and the first woman, to serve as district attorney in Los Angeles.In September, 2020, two sheriff’s deputies were shot multiple times at close...

FIRST DISPATCH. HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Saturday, July 30 -- 9 o'clock P.M. After the explosion at an early hour this morning, everything betokened a brilliant victory, but soon after matters assumed a different aspect, part of the attacking force having given way, thus exposing the balance to an enfilading fire from both artillery, and infantry. The programme was as follows: The mine was to be exploded at 3 o'clock in the morning; the batteries to open at once along the entire line immediately after the explosion, and the Ninth Corps to make the charge, supported by...

The first U.S.-designed F-16 fighter jets have now arrived in Ukraine, it has been widely reported, but the government in Kyiv remains tight-lipped about the aircraft it has spent so long pleading for. The Foreign Minister of Lithuania has apparently confirmed the arrival of F-16 multi-role jet fighters in Ukraine, following days of anonymous source but unsubstantiated statements the long-anticipated aircraft had arrived. The Associated Press stated this week they had news of the arrival of F-16s from Ukrainian officials who couldn’t speak on record because they have been ordered not to discuss publicly. Reuters meanwhile said the same of...

According to a US congressional report, the United States lacks sufficient forces to simultaneously confront Russia and China. The American website Breaking Defense reported that, according to the U.S. Congressional report, the United States needs to expand its military industry and acquire more aircraft, ships, and submarines. The website states that the Pentagon's current national defense strategy is outdated, the U.S. military is inadequately structured, and the American industrial base is insufficient to address the dual threat of Russia and China, according to a new, powerful formal review. The U.S. public are largely unaware of the dangers the United States...

An increasing number of Silicon Valley investors and Wall Street analysts are starting to ring the alarm bells over the countless billions of dollars being invested in AI, an overconfidence they warn could result in a massive bubble. As the Washington Post reports, investment bankers are singing a dramatically different tune than last year, a period marked by tremendous hype surrounding AI, and are instead starting to become wary of Big Tech's ability to actually turn the tech into a profitable business. "Despite its expensive price tag, the technology is nowhere near where it needs to be in order to...

The success of a congressional investigation shouldn’t be measured by scoring an impeachment, but by getting to the truth, House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer says. “History will show Joe Biden and his family were the most corrupt occupiers of the White House of any family in the history of America,” Comer, R-Ky., told The Daily Signal in an interview late last week. “And a big footnote will be the investigative work that our committee did and made public.” During the course of its probe, Comer’s committee obtained records revealing that the Bidens and their associates received over $20...

Terry Andrew Heflin, 45, the Democratic candidate for District 5 of the Clay County Commission, has been charged with seven counts of voter fraud with unlawful use of absentee ballots, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced Wednesday. The indictment against Heflin alleges he falsified applications to vote absentee for multiple people and used their names to vote for himself by the ballot.

Kamala Harris “throws around F-bombs” and constantly berated her staff when she was California Attorney General, according to a shocking report. An unearthed 2019 op-ed from professor Terry McAteer published in California newspaper The Union describes the “eye-opening” month his son Gregory spent as an intern for Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. McAteer, a Democrat with generational political ties to the party, claimed his son was subjected to a “side of Kamala Harris which the general public does not know”. “Harris vocally throws around ‘F-bombs’ and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others,” McAteer...

Hey folks. My current computer, while relatively new at about 18 months, has been problematic since purchase. Since it was only a lateral move in performance, I'd like to upgrade to a new machine, a problem-free one. These are the specifications I am looking for: Not Intel-based. I hear Intel is having major problems with their chips lately, and that the chips are simply frying outright. Maybe that is only for a certain set of chips, so I could be convinced to return to Intel, but I'm leaning towards AMD or other mainstream chipsets. I'd like it optimized for gaming...

In a video shared to his X account, formerly Twitter, Rittenhouse said he would be "writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States" come the November election. "Hi, I'm Kyle Rittenhouse, Outreach Director for Texas gun rights. A lot of people are upset that I said that I'm going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true, I will be writing in Ron Paul," the 21-year-old said in the clip, referring to the former Texas congressman. "Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, making him bad on the Second Amendment, and...

Hillary Clinton turned Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s funeral in Houston, Texas into a campaign event for Kamala Harris. Sheila Jackson Lee recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Kamala Harris greeted the Clintons at Sheila Jackson Lee’s funeral. WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK............. The Clintons immediately endorsed Kamala Harris for president after Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race last month. Harris is the chosen one. She wasn’t chosen by the people. Harris was installed by a small group of Democrat elitists because she could never have won the primary. Hillary turned the late lawmaker’s funeral...

President Joe Biden said late Thursday night that the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran, on Wednesday “has not helped” as he urged all sides to move toward a ceasefire that would end the war in Gaza. Haniyeh was killed, apparently by a hidden bomb, in a guesthouse in Tehran, where he had attended the inauguration of new Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. Israel has not formally accepted responsibility but is widely believed to be behind the attack.

As undemocratic as the process has been to select the Democratic nominee for 2024, it's pretty much looking like it will be Vice President Kamala Harris. She still has to pick a running mate, which she's expected to do by next Tuesday, and she'll then tour with this person across several key swing states, with Philadelphia being the first city. Among the likely picks include senators and governors, many of them from some of those battleground states. Harris herself has had a poor image in the polls, though she looks to be getting a boost during this honeymoon period. What...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has ordered city officials to offer homeless people bus tickets out of town before offering them shelter or housing — a controversial policy that shunts the city’s homeless problem onto other towns. The San Francisco Chronicle reported: Mayor London Breed on Thursday ordered city employees to offer homeless people a bus ticket out of town before presenting shelter or housing as an option. The mayor’s new executive order, which marks a shift from current practices, comes amid an escalated crackdown on homeless encampments after a recent court Supreme Court ruling gave city officials more power...

U.S. job growth cooled sharply in July while the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to the highest level in nearly three years. The Labor Department reported Friday that employers added 114,000 jobs in July, missing the 175,000 gain forecast by LSEG economists. The unemployment rate also unexpectedly inched higher to 4.3% against expectations that it would hold steady at 4.1%. It marked the highest level for the jobless rate since October 2021.

The private debt crisis is becoming apparent in America after car repossessions jumped 23% during the first half of 2024. Data shows that 1.6 million Americans will have their car repossessed by the bank before the end of the year, a slight increase from the 1.5 million autos repossessed in 2023 and a drastic upturn from the 1.1 million in 2021. Obviously, the cost of purchasing a car have drastically risen with inflation, interest hikes, and supply chain shortages. Americans simply cannot afford new autos and car dealerships can do nothing to entice purchases. New car inventory in the US...

Vice President Kamala Harris once was the left’s dream “climate” candidate — calling for a ban on fracking, launching investigations into Big Oil companies, and cosponsoring the Green New Deal. But as she looks to win the White House, she has moved toward the center to win over votes in key energy states, while also seeking to retain support from environmentalist groups. Since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has walked back her 2019 call to ban fracking. On Wednesday, she also reversed her stance on supporting a federal job guarantee, which was included in the Green New Deal...
