We used to think they were redheads, but was that just a pigment of our imagination?

It seems as if The Washington Post has dropped its facade somewhat about how star-spangled fantastic the Biden economy supposedly was, but only now that President Donald Trump is in office. Coincidence? We think not! The February 2 print edition of The Post had a pretty revealing headline by reporters Lauren Kaori Gurley, Federica Cocco and Andrew Ackerman buried on the front page of the “Business” section: “More Americans are taking second jobs to pay bills.” Quite a 180-degree turnaround from The Post’s asinine July 2023 claim in the middle of the Bidenomics-induced inflation crisis that “Americans are still better off, with more in the bank than before the pandemic.” Now, The Post seems to have flipped to some degree by admitting that “Late last year, the share of U.S. workers with more than one job hit the highest level since 2019, previously last reached during the Great Recession.”  Specifically, wrote The Post, “A growing number of Americans have taken second jobs and side hustles, spurred partly by years of rapidly rising prices that have gnawed away at household incomes.” So much for Post propagandist Heather Long’s desperate pre-Election Day spin that “the data is clear: Americans are better off economically than they were four years ago.” Oof. But, of course, The Post couldn’t make it too obvious that its non-stop Bidenomics cheerleading was a pile of hogwash. In effect, it tried to spin its reporting once again that people taking multiple jobs could potentially be a good sign of a strong labor market: The trend is also the result of a strong labor market that has made job opportunities more plentiful for people seeking to boost their incomes through gig work or earn money off their hobbies. The Post turned to Center for Economic Policy and Research senior economist Dean Baker, whop obfuscated that it’s “‘It’s pro-cyclical, meaning that you increase the number of multiple-job holders during good times.’” But as Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni retorted in comments to MRC Business, “The idea that the multiple job holder boom is pro-cyclical right now doesn’t make any sense if you look at the data comprehensively.” But that’s not all. The Post still had the nerve to insist that “workers are better off, by several measures, than they were in 2019, another strong period for the labor market. Job creation last year outpaced 2019, as did the share of multiple-job holders in the labor market.” The rag just can’t help itself in refusing to admit that it was wrong. Antoni, who’s been sounding the alarm on the job data indications that Americans were taking multiple jobs to make ends meet for months, broke down for MRC Business why The Post spinning itself silly to downplay the severity of its own story was nothing short of ridiculous: [W]e would not be hemorrhaging full-time jobs if this was pro-cyclical. We would not be seeing fewer native-born Americans employed if this was pro-cyclical. People are getting extra jobs because they can’t make ends meet or because that’s all they can find in terms of work. The data, as Antoni noted, blows up The Post’s “muh, but the jobs market” spin. On another note, a new Statista study found that the “largest blemish” on Biden’s legacy was that “Wages Haven't Kept Up With Inflation.” Oh but “workers are better off,” right? Statista’s research found that wages have actually decreased under Biden, further skewering The Post’s attempt at twisting economic reality into an Auntie Anne’s pretzel: [A]djusted for price increases, people went from $29.93 an hour to $29.49 an hour during the Biden years. Considering that these are average earnings, it’s fair to assume that many people suffered considerably larger and actually noticeable declines in real wages, leading to the widespread frustration with the Biden economy. Perhaps economic hardship is much more of an accurate explanation for why people are taking multiple jobs than everything supposedly being peaches and cream, eh Washington Post? But what more can be expected from a leftist newspaper that has devolved into having the information value of bird-cage liner?

The NFL will remove its message of "End Racism" from behind end zones for the Super Bowl in New Orleans.The Caesars Superdome will instead showcase the message "Choose Love," one of the preapproved league-wide messages that are meant to "Inspire Change," an NFL initiative.The Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles without the end zone reminders that have been part of the league since 2020.'"Choose Love" is appropriate to use.'NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told NBC News that "Choose Love" was one of several phrases for teams to choose from for the 2024-2025 season, which included, "Vote" and "Stop Hate," as well."The Super Bowl is often a snapshot in time, and the NFL is in a unique position to capture and lift the imagination of the country," McCarthy continued.The spokesman added that the message was in response to California's wildfires, the terrorist attack in New Orleans, the helicopter crash in D.C., and the recent plane crash in Philadelphia."'Choose Love' is appropriate to use as our country has endured in recent weeks," McCarthy added.Super Bowl LIX marks the first Super Bowl since 2021 that will not have the "End Racism" stencil in the end zones.The messages made headlines when they were removed for a Chiefs preseason game in 2023, when fans noticed the message "Play Football" was installed instead. However, those changes were temporary and for a different league initiative, and the messages about racial harmony soon returned. NFL helmets previously sported team names. Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesNFL commissioner Roger Goodell said league policies surrounding diversity have been "well within the law" and told reporters at a press conference this week that the league does not have a "quota" system."This is about opening that funnel and bringing the best talent into the NFL."Policies are consistent "with the current administration, as well as the last administration," Goodell added.Adding to the fanfare of the weekend, President Trump has reportedly planned to attend the Super Bowl, making him the first sitting president to publicly do so.When asked in the Oval Office to predict the winner of the big game, Trump said, "I don't want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner."Trump is likely referring to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is looking to be the first to win three straight NFL titles.While Mahomes himself has not endorsed Trump, both his mother and his wife have expressed support for the president.Despite yet another Super Bowl appearance, Mahomes is not actually in the running for NFL MVP ahead of Thursday's ceremony.According to VegasInsider, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is most likely to win the award, even though the Chiefs beat the Bills in the AFC Championship two weeks ago.Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was ranked as fourth most likely to win MVP, although his odds are fairly low at +5000.Like Blaze News?

Trump’s Cabinet Senate confirmation hearings have undoubtedly raised questions as to why detractors are so fearful of exposing government corruption — but one Trump pick took it a step further. During her Senate confirmation hearing to become director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard mentioned an Obama-era CIA program called “Timber Sycamore.” The program gave weapons and training to Al Qaeda-affiliated groups with the goal of toppling the Assad regime in Syria. However, the American people and many soldiers fighting in the Middle East were kept in the dark — and Gabbard was not happy about it. “Senator, as someone who enlisted in the military specifically because of Al Qaeda’s terrorist attack on 9/11, and committing myself and my life to doing what I could to defeat these terrorists, it was shocking and a betrayal to me, and every person who was killed on 9/11, their families, and my brothers and sisters in uniform, when as a member of Congress, I learned about President Obama’s dual programs that he had begun really to overthrow the regime of Syria,” Gabbard said in her hearing. Gabbard explained that this resulted in “yet another regime-change war in the Middle East” and noted that the DOD Train and Equip program began under President Obama, which “ultimately resulted in over half a billion dollars being used to train who they called moderate rebels, but were actually fighters working with and aligned with Al Qaeda’s affiliate on the ground in Syria.” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” isn’t too pleased either. “Most Americans have never heard about Obama’s Timber Sycamore. It’s possibly the largest gun-running and training operation our little spy agencies have ever pulled off,” Glenn says, asking, “How many people died in Syria as a result of this? How many people died all over the Middle East? How many terrorists received weapons and training from our government? Al Qaeda?” “What is it we are going to learn over the next few months? What is it we are going to see exposed?” Glenn asks.
