Oblivious to reality, CNN anchors, contributors, and most guests trot out on a daily basis with the predictability of Michael Moore inhaling a bag of Quarter Pounders with Cheese — with the singular goal of railing against Fox News, trashing Donald Trump, “w... read more

Is Omicron causing a spike in jobless claims?
Brandon Morse: Omicron has brought with it some complications for our society but despite cases breaching the 1 million mark, deaths have trended downward and hospitalizations are expected to stay lower than they had under previous variants, proving that the latest COVID-19 variant is more bark than bite. But people are expecting the bite, and that’s likely why more people are staying home instead of going out and working. As reported by the Washington Examiner, jobless claims have risen past what experts expected, climbing to 207,000 last week instead of declining to 195,000 as ... read more
