Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics will have no real impact on the labor numbers which are released the first Friday of every month. The actual data is compiled by a large group of analysts and clerks who work based on a long and well designed protocol and in strict secrecy. In fact, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics only sees the numbers the afternoon prior to them being released to the public, and they have have no opportunity nor any authority to make changes. All they can do is rubber stamp the numbers and arrange for them to be released the next morning.

Yes same thing happened under Biden, crickets from the crew now crowing. But it always said wait for the revisions.

You can never believe government statistics, it's not about because its good or bad, it's that the revisions are atrocious. So why would you even believe the revisions.

Good luck America you can't even count the number of people working correctly.

The process where as the numbers for the past couple of months being adjusted after better data has been collected and incorporated into the overall picture has been going on for years, long before the current commissioner of labor statistics has been in that job. In fact, i goes back decades, to at least the 50's, covering both Democratic and Republicans administrations.

And what's Trump going to do next month, when they adjust the July numbers down, stop issuing the jobs report altogether? And what happens when the tariffs start to really impact the inflation numbers, stop reporting them as well?

It appears that from Trump and Stephen Miller's point of view, if a job was given to anyone other than a white male, then it was obviously a DEI hire. Racism to them is giving any sort of consideration whatsoever to anyone who's not white and gender discrimination is giving consideration to a female. And if it's a non-white female, they totally lose their minds.

Revolution? Like the rabid leftist lunatic who set a newly-elected Republican councilman on fire?

News reports have stated that it was a personal issue and not political which led to the attack. Nowhere have I read where they've identified the attacker's political leaning, only that they knew each other personally and that this came about as the result of something related to neither the victim being on the city council nor his political party affiliation.
