    Is the Economy… OK?
    May 6 2025
    For months, questions have been swirling about the economy. And last week, we finally got some answers when all kinds of economic data was released. Some of those numbers seemed to say that the economy is headed toward a downward slump, but WSJ’s Jeanne Whalen explains that the picture may not be as dark as it seems at first glance.

Fauci just making things up

Fauci just said we can’t eradicate COVID because of all the unvaccinated people. He’s out of his mind! Clearly vaccinated people are getting and transmitting COVID How does it have anything to do with the unvaccinated? This guy is a broken record; “vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate!”

Hunter Pardon Episode

Really enjoy this podcast and have been listening for about two years but it’s been a few days and still nothing on the Hunter pardon when such a fuss was made about Joes integrity promising not to pardon his son. The problem isn’t even the pardon it’s the virtue signaling that the left continues to ride on but is always one giant lie. Liberal - “Trump is a misogynist” same liberal snorting coke supplied by gangs that murder rape and torture women and children by the hundreds daily. Liberal - “My body my choice” same liberal posting on Facebook after miscarrying about how they need time to recover after losing their child. Could write a million of these. This needs addressing on a podcast about money, business and power. Joe used his political POWER to protect his families criminal BUSINESS dealings so they could keep all of their dirty MONEY.

Decline in quality

I have noticed a sad decline in the reporting over time. I expect objective journalism from WSJ, full of factual content. Instead this is becoming a feel-good report of opinions from one side of the story. Also, personal banter between the reporters is distracting.
