DEFEAT: CNN Actually Admits Massive Jobs Revision a ‘Stain on Joe Biden’s Legacy’

The pro-Bidenomics clapping seals over at CNN finally had the stones to admit that a major revision in jobs growth has undercut President Joe Biden’s entire economic legacy.

For all the lipstick-smearing CNN did on the pig of Biden’s economy and his supposedly stellar jobs growth, the Bureau of Labor Statistics made a big whoopsie by conceding that it had again wildly overestimated jobs growth during his era in the 12 month period ending March 2025 — this time by a whopping 911,000.

With no clever way to spin, CNN economics reporter Elisabeth Buchwald had to admit the obvious September 10: “Massive jobs revisions are a stain on Joe Biden’s legacy, too.” Yup, Buchwald actually tried to pin some blame on President Donald Trump for this, despite the fact he was only in office for a little over a month in the period the BLS covered.

That’s barely enough time for Trump to pass gas, let alone for his tariff actions to have any real gargantuan effect on the economy. ...

Neon-purple rhetoric about "treason" aside, at what point does grossly obvious lying about important government-sourced information cross the lines into civilly actionable fraud and in-kind partisan campaigning?

I fail to see how Biden can either be credited or blamed for anything.

‘Stain on Joe Biden’s Legacy’

There are many stains in his awful Presidency. Mostly in his pants.

Correct.
The dementia-addled sonuvabitch was too far gone to even catch his own drool.

Abigail Spanberger Caught Up in Defamation Lawsuit After Her Campaign Secretly Wrote Jan. 6 Press Release

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA—Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat nominee for Virginia governor, has been called as a witness in a defamation lawsuit after Democrat operatives said her congressional reelection campaign drafted a 2022 Democratic Party of Virginia press release that claimed a Republican “bloodied and beat law enforcement officers” on Jan. 6, 2021.

Thomas Speciale, a retired Army intelligence officer and former Republican U.S. Senate candidate, appeared in court Friday, defending a list of 350 written questions he submitted for Spanberger to answer under oath. The questions grew out of a suit he has filed against the Democratic Party of Virginia alleging that the charge he engaged in violence defamed him. The attorney representing the Democratic Party of Virginia, Jeffrey Breit, defended objections to the questions on the grounds of irrelevance.

Breit cited a press release Speciale had published about the case, warning that if Spanberger’s answers to certain questions became public, she would face harassment.

Speciale defended his list of wide-ranging questions, saying they may be relevant to show that Spanberger’s campaign, from which he says the press release originated, knowingly defamed him.

“The case is very specific to the Spanberger campaign drafting, editing and approving a press release which they sent to the Democratic Party of Virginia to publish,” Speciale told The Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. “They did this in a deliberate effort to conceal that the press release was from the Spanberger campaign.”

“The press release defames me, stating that I was a ‘notable insurrectionist who attacked the United States Capitol’ and that I ‘bloodied and beat law enforcement,'” Speciale added. “The truth is the exact opposite—I was warning the government of possible violence at the National Counterterrorism Center and the FBI, and I was there trying to stop potential violence on January 6th.”

Looks like a prominent Dem may soon learn that the 1st Amendment does not protect slander and that the USSC has narrowed the "Public Figure" defense. As for, "(Breit) warning that if Spanberger’s answers to certain questions became public, she would face harassment," ummmm, if she did something shady or worse, consequences would seem rather appropriate. Her lawyer all but admitted that if she answered honestly, it would reveal something shady (or ...) that she did.

This is the wrong kind of book cracking.

Two rotten Florida boys allegedly caused over $50,000 in damages to their school library — and were turned in to police by their own moms, according to officials.

The alleged bad seeds were identified as 12-year-old Felix Cohen Romero and 13-year-old Bentley Ryan Wehrly, who confessed to the outrageous vandalism of the Friendship Elementary library in Deltona, according to a Facebook post from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

That is really troubling.  :mad:
