HELP – GOOGLE IS INTERFERING!]

NO PAIN – NO GAIN. Any time a person goes into the hospital to have any kind of surgery – the hospital gives you a pain pill – isn’t that right? President Trump is in the middle of the surgery on our country with Mr. Musk after 12 years of a disease put on our country by THE CLINTON’S/OBAMA/BIDEN DEMOCRATS.

The first part of the surgery is the inflation is showing signs of recovery by going down (the high temperature). While the country was on the operating table – Mr. Musk has been removing all of the cancer caused by the aforementioned folks and the installation of a new AI which reduces the work force (a new heart). Now we are in the removal phase after the new heart installation to check out all of the systems and make adjustments to ALL departments in order to work in tandem.

The Democrats are having a hard time after they lost the election in adjusting to not being in control. We never heard them complain as long as they were stealing the taxpayers money to the tune of:

Take a good look at what money the Democrats hid. That is what they are mad about that Mr. Musk is finding all of this stolen money and now making all of this NOISE to try to get the lawfare judges to stop Mr. Musk’s hard work.

“$22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens, $45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, $8 million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of, $60 million for Indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America, $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender, $32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in Moldova, $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique, $20 million for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East,” Trump said. “A $3.5 million consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring, $1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia, $14 million for social cohesion in Mali, $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City.”

I didn’t see one Democrat complain as they are now with President Trump trying to “save the country” from them. Voters need to stop and think – wait until the “fat Lady” sings? President Trump is working to save us from the LEFTOVER FRAUD the Democrats put on our plates, by hiding tons of cash in every department. AND, IT TAKES TIME – AFTER 12 years of CORRUPTION BY THE Democrats, Mr. Musk has to use his type of pesticide to oust the cock roaches in all of these departments – and they are finding tons of contracts for cash/gold. The Democrats are the ones who are making the big time trouble. I have never seen so much moaning and groaning. But, that is just a cover-up to try to blame President Trump/Mr. Musk.

Time for the Democrats to take a MAGA chill pill. The Democrats should be in jail for putting our country in this position for starters. If it were any other country – they would be!

The American people have to remember, the Pilgrims didn’t build our country over night. You have to be patient and let Mr. Musk complete his task. The Democrats are doing exactly what they did to President Trump – making the task difficult by injecting more LAWFARE with all of the lefty lawyers coming out of the wood work. Supreme Court Judge Roberts needs to stop all of this Democrat interference by putting a blanket order on this project; and, once it is completed then it can be sorted out.

Watch your step – there are dead cock roaches all over the floor which were left by the Biden folks.

All of you Democrats who voted for Trump – just kool it. It takes time to rebuild our system – ROME wasn’t built in a day.

In an interview with Politico, one of Donald Trump’s co-campaign managers from his 2024 presidential bid had little sympathy for either Americans watching their 401k’s value plummet or Wall Street investors seeing their portfolios ravaged by the president’s trade war.

According to Christ LaCivita, Trump is doing what he promised and no one should be surprised about the onslaught of tariffs and executive orders that have been the hallmarks of the president’s second term.

Speaking with Politico’s Dasha Burns, La Civita defended Trump’s trade war and when pressed, “The thing that I’ve been watching though is the stock market, as I know a lot of folks in business have been watching,” he replied, “A bunch of bed-wetters.”

“But folks with a 401(k), Chris. I think that President Trump and to some extent others like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have started to have a more frank conversation with the American people saying, ‘Hey, yeah, there might be some disturbance in the short term,” Burns countered.

“Look at the amount of times there were disturbances in the last four years that went on for weeks,” LaCivita protested. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not lessening the impact. I have the same accounts in the same 401(k)s that other people have.

With the Politico reporter pointing out, “But you’re doing better than most average Americans,” the former Trump campaign adviser replied, “Oh, please. Well, it depends on what publication you read, because a lot of them print a bunch of BS.”

He later added, “… here are things that have to change. It’s a recognition that we have to do something overall to create more of a trade balance. I remember when the Wall Street Journal went after the president on the steel tariffs back in his first term. And actually, they were 100 percent wrong and the tariffs actually helped the industry. Look, I’m not discounting the fact that there’s a lot of shock therapy going on right now. It’s very fast. It’s a lot. It’s literally ripping the Band-Aid off.”

KOMMONSENTSJANE – What DOGE Means for the Job Market.

Posted on March 14, 2025 by kommonsentsjane

03/14/2025

Politics & Policy

If Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency succeeds in its efforts to seriously reduce federal employment, it would likely be enough to ding the overall U.S. labor market — but just create a little dent.

The big picture: Given the massive U.S. economy, even hundreds of thousands of people potentially losing their jobs isn’t enough to significantly move the overall unemployment rate.

  • But the impact on specific locations — the Washington, D.C., metro area in particular — could be greater.

By the numbers: The federal government employed 3 million people in December, per the Labor Department, but if you exclude the Postal Service and military, that number is 1.85 million.

  • If the Trump administration were to cut 20% of those jobs through buyouts, firings or pressure to quit, that would result in 370,000 current government employees out of work.
  • If every single one of those people were counted as unemployed, it would be enough to push the national unemployment rate to 4.3% from its current 4.1%.
  • However, that’s an unreasonable assumption, because many of those discharged employees would either retire (and thus no longer be part of the labor force) or quickly find new jobs. So the actual impact on headline unemployment would likely be lower.

The intrigue: It is a reminder of just how massive the U.S. labor market is. In December, 2.6 million Americans quit their jobs and 2 million were fired. A few hundred thousand government workers quitting or being forced out would only temporarily increase those numbers.

  • It would, however, be a big change from the norm; federal government employment is traditionally very stable.
  • In December, only 7,000 federal employees were laid off or fired, and 11,000 quit. Look for those numbers to go way up as 2025 data is released.

Of note: The economic impacts of large-scale federal job cuts on specific geographies are likely to be higher.

  • In the D.C. area, 11% of all jobs are with the federal government
  • .
  • If the Trump administration eliminated 20% of D.C.-area federal jobs and all of those people became unemployed, the local unemployment rate would nearly double to 5.5%, from its 2.8% December level. (But given the caveats above, the actual impact would certainly be lower than that.)

What they’re saying: “It is too early for these to affect the January numbers,” wrote BNP Paribas economists in a note. Employment numbers due out Friday cover a period before the inauguration.

  • “That said, [the buyouts] suggest net downward pressure on federal employment over time,” they wrote.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Trump Issues Stock Market Update Amid Recession Fears.

Posted on March 14, 2025 by kommonsentsjane

Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes Media, Sunday on X: “NEW: Thanks to Bidenomics, President Trump inherited a fragile economy. Putting tax cuts (for all Americans) first before tariffs will help the economy surge, empowering him to make better trade deals long-term.”

Chart Shows How Stock Market Is Faring Compared to Trump’s First Term – Newswee

Newsweek

Trump Issues Stock Market Update Amid Recession Fears

President Donald Trump indicated that he’s optimistic when asked about the current state of the economy on Tuesday after previously sidestepping questions about fears of a potential recession.

Why It Matters

Reacting to the growing fears of a tariff war, the stock market had its worst day of the year this week. Since taking office in January, the president has initiated sweeping changes, including implementing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.

Economists have remained divided on whether Trump’s immediate agenda could plunge the country into a recession.

What To Know

While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump was asked about the current state of the stock market and said, “Our country had to do this. We had to go and do this. They’ve taken away, other countries have taken away our business, they’ve taken away our jobs. I did it initially very strongly against as you know China and some others in the first term.”

Continuing, Trump said, “We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

He said that after his first presidential term, he handed over the stock market to the Biden administration “higher than it ever was to that point before,” adding that “this economy, in my opinion, is going to blow it away.”

Trump was seen answering questions alongside Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk in front of vehicles from Tesla, one of the billionaire’s companies. “I’m very optimistic about the country,” Trump said.

Over the weekend, Trump was asked if he thought the country was heading toward a full-scale recession. He replied, in part, that the economy is in a “period of transition” while noting that he hates to predict a potential recession.President Donald Trump is seen leaving after speaking to the press next to Tesla vehicles at the White House on March 11, 2025.

What People Are Saying

Economic analyst and former Obama official Steven Rattner said Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter: “Republicans are trying to blame the current economic downturn on ‘Biden’s Economy’. But America’s markets surged ahead of Europe’s under Biden and then fell far behind once Trump got started.”

Former Republican Representative Joe Walsh, Tuesday on X: “Trump was handed an awesome economy. He was handed the best, by far, post-Covid economy of ANY industrialized nation. He was handed an economy with employment way up, consumer spending way up, the markets way up, & inflation way down. And in only 7 weeks, he’s f****** it all up.”

Democratic Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker, Tuesday on X: “Who pays for Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada? It’s you. Actions have consequences – and his actions mean higher prices for groceries, beer, gas, and housing all to fund tax cuts for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.”

Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes Media, Sunday on X: “NEW: Thanks to Bidenomics, President Trump inherited a fragile economy. Putting tax cuts (for all Americans) first before tariffs will help the economy surge, empowering him to make better trade deals long-term.”

What Happens Next

Canadian Premier Doug Ford said in a joint statement with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick posted to X that the 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to Minnesota, Michigan, and New York will be suspended. He will travel to Washington, D.C., to meet before a tariff deadline.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Inflation Plummeting – New Data Shows..

Inflation Plummeting, New Data Shows

Trump Issues Stock Market Update Amid Recession Fears.

NEWSWEEK:

View on Watch

New data suggests a notable deceleration in the U.S. inflation rate, potentially offering some relief to both consumers and policymakers.

According to Truflation, a blockchain-based provider of real-time economic data, inflation has slowed to around 1.3 percent, having dropped to below the 1.5 percent mark at the start of March. By Truflation’s readings, these are the lowest levels inflation has reached since December 2020. It peaked at over 11.5 percent in June 2022.

Why It Matters

Trump’s campaign placed a heavy emphasis on the state of the U.S. economy and in particular inflation, painting his predecessor’s policies as an accelerant and vowing to bring prices for American consumers down “on Day One.”

Prior to his November victory, Trump had been a persistent and outspoken critic of “Bidenomics,” holding the then-president responsible for the nation’s inflationary struggles, which he called “a country killer.” As a result, inflation has become arguably the most important touchstone for the current administration, and will be a closely watched metric to measure his economic agenda.

While inflation will need to slow further—reaching negative figures—for the price of goods and services to decline, significantly slowing inflation signals price stabilization, serving as a slight relief for concerned consumers and the Federal Reserve, which has been tasked with achieving a 2-percent inflation target.

What To Know

As outlined on its methodology page, Truflation’s real-time inflation metric relies on market price data from more than 30 commercial and public sources, capturing 13 million price points for goods and services at any moment. This separates it from the commonly consulted consumer price index (CPI), released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which relies on periodic surveys, though this allows time to both collect and verify data, while also enabling analysis of inflationary trends rather than daily price changes.

According to the most recent BLS reading, released Wednesday morning, February saw less steep price increases for consumers. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2 percent, a slowdown from January’s monthly 0.5 percent gain. Annual inflation also showed signs of improvement, easing to 2.8 percent from 3.0 the previous month.

The core inflation rate—excluding volatile prices such as those for food and energy—slowed to 3.1 from 3.3 percent annually, the lowest rate since April 2021. On a monthly basis, core inflation fell to 0.2 from 0.4 percent.

Despite the encouraging signals from both Truflation and the BLS, concerns are mounting that President Trump’s dynamic tariff plans could result in even higher prices, as import costs rise and these charges are passed on to the American consumer.

Slowing inflation, while potentially easing the burden on consumers, has also been cited as evidence of weakening demand and slowing economic activity.

What People Are Saying

Truflation, on X, formerly Twitter: “Our data shows that inflation is falling. However, the effect of tariffs remains uncertain.” Attached was a poll in which 66 percent said inflation “will be controlled by 2025.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “Today’s CPI report shows inflation is declining and the economy is moving in the right direction under President Trump. Core consumer prices, which is the best measure of inflation, dropped to its lowest level in FOUR years. This inflation report, much like last week’s jobs report, is far better than the media predicted and the so-called ‘experts’ expected. When will they learn to stop doubting President Trump? As he successfully did in his first term, President Trump is driving down costs through massive deregulation and energy dominance. The entire Trump Administration will continue to focus on fixing the economic and inflation nightmare created by the Biden-Harris Administration to unlock the Golden Age of America.”

Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial, in comments shared with Newsweek: “Core services inflation is unequivocally decelerating, giving the Fed room to focus on the growth mandate. In the near term, we may see some volatility in consumer prices as businesses and consumers anticipate looming tariffs.”

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, at a recent policy forum in New York: “Despite elevated levels of uncertainty, the U.S. economy continues to be in a good place. The labor market is solid, and inflation has moved closer to our 2 percent longer-run goal.

“Looking ahead, the new Administration is in the process of implementing significant policy changes in four distinct areas: trade, immigration, fiscal policy, and regulation. It is the net effect of these policy changes that will matter for the economy and for the path of monetary policy. While there have been recent developments in some of these areas, especially trade policy, uncertainty around the changes and their likely effects remains high.”Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks at the 2025 U.S. Monetary Policy Forum on March 07, 2025 in New York City.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, at the Economic Club of New York last week, said that the inflationary impacts of tariffs would be “transitory” if they resulted in a “one-time price adjustment. Across a continuum, I’m not worried about inflation.”

What Happens Next

The next inflation reading from the BLS will be released on April 10.

Update 3/12/25 10:41 a.m. ET: This article was updated with data from Wednesday’s inflation reading from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and comment from Jeffrey Roach of LPL Financial.
