U.S. stock-index futures added to gains on Thursday after a closely followed report on the health of the labor market showed that the U.S. added 4.76 million jobs in June and the unemployment fell to 11.1% from 13.3% in May, suggesting that the employment picture is improving after a stunning collapse due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fantastic! Soon the gaping and rapidly widening divide between red and blue cities and states will become too much to ignore.

Understatement is a powerful tool used extensively by the MSM where Trump and good news are concerned.

Impeachment, Covid-19, news media, Twitter, BLM, Antifa, fake Republican Bush crowd, Mueller, fake Russian stuff, etc.

Trump just moves along. He’s even challenging the NFL on the side, handled the bimbo episode, and brought in five or six idiots (Bolton included)...it doesn’t matter.

Very good news. I’ve been saying all along that one month does not a trend make, but this is the second month with strong job growth so it looks like a trend is developing. Since handling the economy is one of the few areas where Trump out-polls Biden, and since the economy is the number one issue on the minds of most voters, then this bodes well for Trump’s chances.
