The U.S. Economy, Job Creation and The Unemployment Rate for September 2025.

 The U.S. Labor Department reported belatedly that the economy added 119,000 jobs in September and that the unemployment rate came in at 4.4%, up from the previous month.  We can now compare Trump's first 9 months in office to Biden's first 9 months in office.  716,000 jobs have been created in Trump's first 9 months in office.  So, after a total of 57 months in office as President, job creation is still in a negative position of 2 million jobs lost.  The unemployment rate is up on Trump's watch, it was 4% when Biden left office.

In Biden's first term, 312,000 jobs were created in September 2021 and a total of over 3.3 million jobs were created in his first 9 months in office.  The unemployment rate in September 2021 was 4.8%, down from the 6.3% when he took office.  

The Department also reported that 4,000 jobs were lost in August making it the second month this year so far that the economy lost jobs.  No such thing took place during Biden's four years in office.  Manufacturing lost 6,000 jobs in September and a total of 58,000 jobs between April and September.  

The numbers continue to tell the story of Trump and his GOP's inability to create job, lowering the unemployment and governing over a good economy.  The precedent of Trump and his party's pitiful performance will continue as long as ideology controls their thoughts.

N.O. Braces For Border Patrol Sweeps.

So says three articles published in the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate in a weeks period beginning November 19.   The articles were long winded but the bottom line continues to be what the people have learned from Trump's immigration policies thanks to the Mayors, Governors and legal organizations who have to deal with the sweeps.

We have learned from the courts that some of the sweeps have been unlawful and illegal.  One court has already issued a list of lies the court were told about those sweeps by ICE and are considering some kind of contempt charges.  Governors, Mayors and legal organizations have issued instructions on the people's right to oppose those unlawful and illegal sweeps, especially those without a signed warrant from a judge or court.  We have also learned how Darkness has developed over Trump with his policy of allowing agents to continue to wear mask to hide their identity in their enforcement.  A reminder of what the Klu Klux Klan did when they burned down black churches and houses.  They covered their faces like cowards.

Immigration the legal way represents America the Beautiful.  Immigration Trump's way represents Darkness run by cowards.
