The way WSJ simply states facts while NYT has to couch remains…interesting to say the least.

The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read:

Top shelf content here from the guy who coined the term "Creepy Joe" to refer to President Biden.

The Trump administration arrested immigrants-who had no criminal records-and sent them to a gulag where they were tortured and sexually abused

Yet just transferred Ghislaine Maxwell-serving a 20 year sentence for having trafficked hundreds of women with Jeffrey Epstein-to a cushy "Club Fed" prison

I did. You should too.

Maxwell was arrested by the Trump Justice Department. This guy is a boob pushing disinformation.

In my heart, I believe that Kamala lost bc she’s a Black woman. The campaign made some grievous errors, but a white male candidate would have survived. I think about that about once every hour these days. All of this hell visited on us, it’s bc of that original sin.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”
