Leftists: “It’s the worst time in US history!”

Just ask the LDAMM — the Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots. They’re all colluding and have been doing so, ever more cemented than before, since November 9th of 2016, when the worst calamity in the history of history occurred: Hillary Clinton was not elected as 45th president of the United States.

Despite every possible lever having been thrown, every shitty deal cut, every corner clipped, every US counterintelligence agency up and alerted then thrown against the OMB himself: the Orange Man Bad. Yes. Despite all that, Hillary Clinton was not anointed president, as was her official right. After all, it was “her turn.” Don’t you guys get that?

He should never have won. Ever. You know, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head: Donald John Trump.

The mantra now, besides the explosion of every -ist, -ism and -obe on the planet laid at the feet of Donald Trump, is that the United States is clearly plummeting towards doom.

With, eh, a couple of exceptions.

Hispanic Unemployment Rate Sets New Record Low in April

by Craig Bannister

The national seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos in the U.S. labor force fell to a record low of 4.2% in April, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Friday show.

In April, the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos, aged 16 and up, was 4.2%, down from 4.7% in March – breaking the record low of 4.3% set two months earlier in February. BLS began tracking Hispanic-Latino employment data in 1973.

The number of unemployed Hispanics fell to 1,198,000 – the fewest unemployed since August of 2007 (1,190,000) and a decline of 165,000 from 1,363,000 in March of 2019.

The number of Hispanics employed fell to 27,348,000 from 27,566,000 in March and off from its record high of 27,701,000 in December 2018. The number of Hispanics participating in the workplace increased as Hispanics’ labor force participation rate fell to 65.9% from 67.0% in March.

Job Creators Network President and CEO Alfredo Ortiz says Hispanics’ job opportunites have benefited greatly from President Donald Trump’s pro-business policies:

“One of the biggest beneficiaries of the Trump economy has been Hispanics, whose entrepreneurial talents have been harnessed in this climate of deregulation and tax cuts. While Democrats play class warfare and identity politics, President Trump’s policies are creating a booming economy that is lifting all boats.”

Some more numbers?

Hispanic-Latino employment statistics for February 2019:

  • Unemployment rate: 4.2%, down from 4.7% in March.
  • Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population (16+ years old): 43,289,000 up from 43,205,000 in March.
  • Number Participating in Labor Force: 28,546,000 down from 28,929,000 in March.
  • Labor Force Participation: 65.9, down from 67.0% in March.
  • Number Employed: 27,348,000 down from 27,566,000 in March.
  • Number Unemployed: 1,198,000, down from 1,363,000 in March.

Unemployment Rate for Women Falls to Lowest Since 1953

by John Carney

The unemployment rate for women in the U.S. workforce fell to 3.4 percent in April, the lowest rate since September 1953.

The unemployment for women fell below 4 percent in March 2018 for the first time since the dot com boom in 2000. It has remained below 4 percent in 12 out of the last 13 months.

The longest streak of below 4 percent unemployment was 18 months starting in 1952. The record low was 2.7 percent in May 1952.

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, cited a slightly different statistic that is also at the lowest level in over 60 years. Unemployment for women over 20 years old fell to 3.1 percent.

Lowest unemployment in 19 years for workers without bachelor’s degrees in April

by Joseph Lawler

Unemployment for workers without bachelor’s degrees fell to the lowest rate in 19 years in April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, a sign the recovery is benefiting the people most in need of help as it stretches toward a 10th year.

Unemployment for workers without four-year or graduate degrees fell to just 3.5% in April, the lowest such mark since the 3.4% rate in April 2000, which was the lowest recorded, with data going back to 1992.

That statistic, which is adjusted for seasonal variations, represents workers above the age of 25 without associate’s degrees or who didn’t finish college, people with only high school degrees, and high school dropouts. Those groups generally have much higher unemployment rates.

Unemployment hits 49-year low as US employers step up hiring

by Christopher Rugaber

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring accelerated and pay rose at a solid pace in April, setting the stage for healthy U.S. economic growth to endure despite fears of a slowdown earlier this year.

Employers added 263,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate dropping to a five-decade low of 3.6% from 3.8%, though that drop partly reflected an increase in the number of Americans who stopped looking for work. Average hourly pay rose 3.2% from 12 months earlier, matching March’s year-over-year increase.

Friday’s jobs report from the government showed that economic growth remains brisk enough to encourage strong hiring nearly a decade into the economy’s recovery from the Great Recession. The economic expansion, which has fueled 103 straight months of hiring, is set to become the longest in history in July.

“All of the recession talk earlier in the spring was much ado about nothing,” said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC.

Read that again. You know, the crap that exited the pie-holes of the LDAMM. “Recession recession recession.” Except:

“All of the recession talk earlier in the spring was much ado about nothing,” said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC.

Jobs surge in April, unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969

by Jeff Cox

  • The U.S. added 263,000 new hires in April, easily beating Wall Street expectations of 190,000.
  • The unemployment rate fell to 3.6% vs. 3.8% expected and the lowest since December 1969.

The U.S. jobs machine kept humming along in April, adding a robust 263,000 new hires while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest in a generation, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Nonfarm payroll growth easily beat Wall Street expectations of 190,000 and a 3.8% jobless rate.

Average hourly earnings growth held at 3.2% over the past year, a notch below Dow Jones estimates of 3.3%. The monthly gain was 0.2%, below the expected 0.3% increase, bringing the average to $27.77. The average work week also dropped 0.1 hours to 34.4 hours.

Unemployment was last this low in December 1969 when it hit 3.5%. At a time when many economists see a tight labor market, big job growth continues as the economic expansion is just a few months away from being the longest in history.

From RasmussenReports.com:

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.

ABC kept the good news pretty much quiet. Can you blame them? Everything else Leftist is falling down around Demorat heads.

Bad News for Liberals? ABC Can Barely Speak of 50-Year Low in Unemployment

by Tim Graham

The news was shocking on Friday morning when the Labor Department reported the economy added 263,000 new jobs — higher than expected — lowering the unemployment rate to 3.6 percent, the lowest in fifty years. Would the networks acknowledge this news, or try to dodge it like last Friday’s surprisingly strong 3.2 percent growth in GDP? ABC and CBS skipped that, and NBC gave it ten seconds. This Friday, Curtis Houck noted on Twitter that CBS and NBC had full reports on Friday night, but ABC’s World News Tonight was done with it in 18 seconds. 

Nah. No bias there. Uh-oh. Neil Irwin of the New York Times said:

After more than two years of the Trump administration, warnings that trade wars and erratic management style would throw the economy off course have proved wrong so far, and tax cuts and deregulation are most likely part of the reason for the strong growth rates in 2018 and the beginning of 2019 (though most forecasts envision a slowing in the coming quarters as the impact of tax cuts fades).

In particular, it now appears that recession fears that emerged at the end of 2018 were misguided — especially once the Fed backed off its campaign of rate increases at the start of 2019.

But beyond the assigning of credit or blame, there’s a bigger lesson in the job market’s remarkably strong performance: about the limits of knowledge when it comes to something as complex as the $20 trillion U.S. economy.

He’s clearly going to Leftist Hell. At minimum, he’ll be receiving no more Christmas cards. Oh wait. The New York Times doesn’t believe in Christmas. Or is it that Christ doesn’t believe in the New York Times?

And that from just one day’s news this past week.

Question: did you hear this good news hammered home by the American Media Maggots? CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC? Of course you didn’t. Why? Because it would tend to make President Trump look good — and none of those outlets can afford to allow President Trump to look good. They run in lockstep with the Demorats and the DNC. The Demorats and DNC cannot allow President Trump to look good.

You didn’t hear about this story either, from Investors Business Daily, did you?

Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows

Media Bias: Ask journalists, and they’ll likely tell you they play things right down the middle. They strive to be “fair.” They’re “centrists.” Sorry, not true. The profound leftward ideological bias of the Big Media is the main reason why America now seems saturated with “fake news.” Journalists, besotted with their own ideology, are no longer able to recognize their own bias.

If you ask “journalists” how they voted, well, they won’t tell you. They’ll fall back on

  • What does that matter, and
  • We can do our jobs in a vacuum.

Except they can’t. And yes, it matters greatly. Because the bulk of them are Leftists.

Despite journalists’ denials, it’s now pretty much a fact that journalism is one of the most left-wing of all professions. But until recently, that wasn’t thought to be true of financial journalists — who have a reputation for being the most right-leaning and free-market-oriented among mainstream journalists.

If that was ever true, it sure isn’t today, a new study  suggests.

Researchers from Arizona State University and Texas A&M University questioned 462 financial journalists around the country. They followed up with 18 additional interviews. The journalists worked for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press and a number of other newspapers.

From the DailyWire.com:

462 Financial Journalists Were Asked Their Political Leanings. Guess How Many Said They Were Conservative.

by Ashe Schow

“First, financial journalists have stronger incentives to produce original information and analysis than to disseminate information already in the public domain, and they rely heavily on private communication with company management for information. Second, sell-side analysts play an important role in informing financial journalists, many of whom lack financial sophistication. Third, the incentives for sensationalism in the business press assumed in prior research are dominated by incentives for accurate, timely, in-depth, and informative reporting, while the quid pro quo incentives assumed in prior literature (e.g., putting a positive spin on company news to maintain access to inside sources) are substantial.”

Let’s translate the pablum speech.

Get that? Journalists covering the financial industry don’t know the industry and give favorable coverage to keep access. Sounds like pretty much every other type of journalist.

Here’s the crux of the biscuit:

The journalists surveyed by the scholars come from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post and other highly respected outlets, as well as other smaller outlets.

One other thing the researchers found was that the surveyed journalists overwhelmingly described themselves as liberal. Of those surveyed, 17.63% said they were “very liberal,” and 40.84% said they were “somewhat liberal,” for a total of 58.47% saying they lean left.

On the other side of the spectrum, just 0.46% said they were “very conservative” and 3.94% described themselves as “somewhat conservative,” for a total of 4.4% of respondents leaning right. The other 37.12% said they were moderate.

“Moderate.” I suppose like a “moderate Muslim.” Or “kinda pregnant.” Or “I had part of a colonoscopy.”

Simultaneously, from Newsbusters.org:

Journalism Institute Poynter Tries to ‘Blacklist’ 29 Conservative Outlets as ‘UnNews’

by Corinne Weaver

The attack on the conservative internet has reached a new low.

Poynter, the journalism institute responsible for training writers and reporters, decided to promote a left-wing smear of conservative groups online. The result was a hit job written by someone who works for the anti-conservative Southern Poverty Law Center for a journalism organization funded by prominent liberal billionaires such as George Soros and Pierre Omidyar.

Poynter, which has started the International Fact-Checking Network, shared the new report and dataset called “UnNews,” declaring at least 29 right-leaning news outlets and organizations to be “unreliable news websites.”

Report author and SPLC producer Barrett Golding combined five major lists of websites marked “unreliable.” That result, which consisted of 515 names, included many prominent conservative sites —  Breitbart, CNSNews.com, Daily Signal, Daily Wire, Drudge Report, Free Beacon, Judicial Watch, LifeNews, LifeSiteNews, LifeZette, LiveAction News, the Media Research Center, PJ Media, Project Veritas, Red State, The Blaze, Twitchy, and the Washington Examiner.

Let’s stop here for a moment. The microsecond I see the DRUDGE REPORT on ANY Leftist list I know they’re ignorant and lying. Why? Because the DR doesn’t write any content whatsoever. Matt Drudge hasn’t written a word on his site for years. The DR is nothing more than an aggregator of news. It carries stories written by other outlets and frequently includes New York Times, LA Times, CNN and other Leftist stories. Every. Day.

Judicial Watch is a site that essentially sues for information via FOIA requests and, AGAIN, doesn’t create original content. It only publishes what the government releases.

Project Veritas has video to back up every claim it makes.

The Washington Examiner has been part of the DC scene for literally decades.

This where we are today.

But remember: it’s all about footsteps.

I can hear them.

Can’t you?

Behind last Thursday’s scenes at the SHR Media studios

The SHR Media Network studio set up for BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon.

So there I was.

Fed, fueled, show prep in place, laptop tabs all lined up.

Last Thursday night, April 25th, I was about to produce a fabulous Bloviating Zeppelin’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show — live and direct from the sumptuous and palatial SHR Media Studios, a mere two miles east of the locus of evil on the entire west coast, the Bill Mill, the capitol building at 10th and L Streets in downtown Sacramento, Kalifornia where, late at night, you can hear the keening screams from the death of common sense and, upon conclusion of the show and leaving the studio, one can smell the odiferous stench of sulphur and brimstone emitted from that black-hearted edifice.

All was connected, the lava lamp was lighted, ON AIR sign activated, Bluetooth checked for connectivity so that I could speak to the Underground Professor, Michael Jones (my guest for the night), laptop levels checked, my Electrovoice RE20 tested for levels. All appeared nominal to that point.

It was time to activate XSplit — the program we use to handle our video output — and to ramp up Spreaker, the program we use for audio broadcast only, specifically to the SHR Media Network web site at SHRMedia.com.

A brief aside.

When I arrived at SHR, the audio output from the studio ranged, let’s be honest, from minimally-acceptable to absolutely execrable. Voice levels were too low or too hot, and the intros and promos were almost inaudible. If there’s nothing I learned from being in early 1970s professional terrestrial radio — having worked at KFBK amongst many other stations — it’s that sound is everything.

Marshall McLuhan once wrote that the “medium is the message.”

He was right. You can have the greatest message in the world — the greatest radio show content in the world — but unless it’s excellent sound, no one will listen. That’s true no matter where you go.

How many times have you visited a show and really tried to like it — except that the voices are muddy or unclear or breaking or low in volume? Too many times, I’d wager.

So if there’s one thing of which I’m especially proud, it’s the fact that I brought SHR studio sound quality up to that of many other professional studios. That’s because I bought the same equipment. Upgraded the laptops and programs. Purchased a hefty and dedicated custom desktop confuser to run all the new stuff.

And we’ve stayed with Spreaker. We discovered that the sound just isn’t good enough on Blogtalk. Yes, you can have great call-in phone systems on Blogtalk as opposed to Spreaker. But we’re slowly getting there on SHR. Sound quality first and foremost. We’re in the process of upgrading the phones, trying to avoid $5,000 phone systems.

For the studio, I first brought in my old RCA 74B from KFBK and hooked it up. Then I brought in my Shure 55SH Classic with red foam. Next, I upgraded the main mic to a Shure SM7B (which is now mic #2, used primarily by Clint), then installed an Electrovoice RE20 for the new main mic, the one I now use on the show.

Yeah. Good luck trying to figure out that board on the left.

The original SHR Media board. We used about 4 inputs out of the 87,953 available.

Along the way, I made sure we changed out our wildly-confusing Behringer Xenyx X2222 USB mixer (holy crap, take a look at that thing above) and went for something a wee bit less confusing. But a lot more expensive and proprietary. The Arrakis ARC Talk Blue board.

SHR’s Arrakis board: simpler, cleaner, more useful and infinitely more expensive.

Built like a tank, the Arrakis board is simpler but heavier. I’m really hoping it’s bordering on indestructible.

And now, for the “rest of the story.”

Having sat down on Thursday evening, I opened Spreaker and that started a feedback loop that wouldn’t stop. It simply built and built. Thank God I wasn’t wearing headphones at the time but it was so loud that the headphones themselves, less than two feet from me, became shockingly loud.

The mic on the desk hid the fact that I had the PC/USB slider open and up. It took me almost 45 seconds to locate the source of the loop and break the circuit. Too late.

By then I had fried two sets of headphones and, as it turned out, blew out the multi-plug headphone jack amp as well. This was only about 15 minutes before I was supposed to be live and on the air.

I tried everything I could think of but the headphones were toast. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hear myself and also wouldn’t be able to hear any audio cuts I played, much less my intro and outro music. I was boned.

For penance I’ll have to bring in an extra set of personal headphones from home. I also ordered a set of Sony MDR-7506 Professional headphones as main desk replacements, and an ART HeadAMP4 Eight Output Stereo Headphone Amplifier to replace the one I turned to infinite feedback loop puree.

So with no way of hearing the show, I had to cancel the entire event.

That was about a $200 mistake. So far.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 4-18-19, with very special guest CAPTAIN ED ENOS

We also had DAVE MILNER in the second hour with an update regarding the English Defence League (EDL), Facebook and abject censorship of the EDL.

SHR co-owner Sack Heads SHAUN appeared in the second hour in order to weigh in on the Mueller Report and — be advised — tonight’s show was a full three hours and fifteen minutes in length!

Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, Fornicalia, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursday nights, thanks to my shameless contract — as well as appear on the Sack Heads: Against Tyranny Show every Wednesday night.

On January 17th, it was the second anniversary of BZ broadcasting on the SHR Media NetworkBZ has held his show, the Berserk Bobcat Saloon, on SHR continuously since January 17th of 2017. BZ is forever in debt to the co-owners of SHR, Sack Heads SHAUN and Sack Heads CLINT for believing in me and providing me with air time, a studio and unparalleled support. God bless them for that. I had a message, and they allowed me to become something of a messenger.

Hour 1BZ spoke for a second time (the first being on 12-11-18) to CAPTAIN ED ENOS, a harbor pilot in Hawaii, certified to pitch huge ships into all six major Hawaiian ports — keeping the island chain well stocked with vehicles, electronics, furniture, wood, steel, fuel, food, and anything the islands need.

We talked about the maritime industry, the transportation of goods on the high seas, security, shipping, ship and crew design and future trends.

Captain Ed can be found here on Twitter, and here on MaritimeHawaii.com. He can also be found here on Instagram.

As Captain Ed Enos made quite clear, being a harbor pilot requires lengthy training, numerous tests, years of experience and maritime academy training. It also involves jumping from a small motor boat, coming alongside a ship and stepping onto a ladder dangling down from a massive moving ship.

Harbor pilot Dave Lyman lost his life doing this in 2006 and a scholarship program was created behind him. Please go to DAVELYMAN.COM in order to donate.

The Dave Lyman Memorial Scholarship provides approximately $2500 to every recipient, for each year they attend The California Maritime Academy (Cal Maritime), for a maximum of four years.

Hour 2: BZ spoke about the 400+ page Mueller Report released today by US Attorney General William Barr — which clearly and finally states there were no reasons for criminal charges on either “collusion” or “obstruction” by President Donald Trump. PERIOD. Of course, the LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots — are entirely unsatisfied because the report was 1) redacted at all, and 2) didn’t set President Trump on fire, political or otherwise.
