May Jobs Growth Numbers Steady but Slight
The Labor Department released May's job report this morning and the news is just so-so. Only 138,000 jobs were added last month, not nearly the 180,000-plus some economists were predicting. The U-3 headline unemployment rate dropped slightly from 4.4% to 4.3%, which is the lowest it has been since 2001. And in what may be even better news, the U-6 unemployment rate dropped from 8.6% to 8.4%, continuing its steady decline. After hovering at near 10% for over a year, that better measure of unemployment has dropped more than a percentage point since the election.
On Thursday, payroll agency ADP reported 253,000 new private-sector jobs from the previous month, with Mark Zandi, the chief economist of Moody's Analytics, declaring, "Job growth is rip-roaring. The current pace of job growth is nearly three times the rate necessary to absorb growth in the labor force. Increasingly, businesses' number one challenge will be a shortage of labor." Things didn't pan out quite as well as the always-overoptimistic ADP showed, but that's not the only story.
Economists are beginning to question whether the economy has reached "full employment" levels — the best indicator being a steady increase in wages as businesses compete over a shrinking number of available workers. That has yet to materialize, but several economists are predicting that this will be seen in the next few months. The good news is that much of the new job growth can be credited to Donald Trump's active deregulations, as businesses respond to what they perceive as a much more growth-oriented policy and administration. However, it is quite evident that liar-nObamaCare is still proving to be a tremendous drag on the economy. Republicans' slow movement on both repealing and replacing liar-nObamaCare and on enacting tax reform legislation is likely keeping jobs numbers a little on the low side. Success in either or both will jolt the economy out of the liar-nObama doldrums. ~The Patriot Post

Trump's Reported Decision to Withdraw from Paris Agreement Right Choice
for America and the World
by Marlo Lewis, Jr.
{cei.org} ~ It is now widely reported CNN, Fox, New York Times that President Trump has decided to keep his campaign promise to “cancel” America’s participation in the Paris Climate Agreement... No public information is available at this time about the specific option Trump will select to withdraw from the Agreement, or what other related diplomatic or policy commitments he may make. But at this point no media reports contradict the basic story line that Trump has made his decision, and that it is to pull out. The Paris Agreement was the capstone of President liar-nObama's climate action plan, the political strategy by which he intended to give the Clean Power Plan and other legally dubious climate policies a treaty-like status, but without going through the constitutional treaty process. By relabeling his domestic climate agenda as commitments America made to the world, he tried to dictate U.S. energy policy for decades to come regardless of the preferences of future presidents, Congresses, and voters. It was a climate coup of breathtaking ambition, and the treaty’s supporters at home and abroad did all they could to misdirect the debate and pressure Trump to break his campaign promise. President Trump kept an open mind, listened to all sides, and made the right decision for America and the world...https://cei.org/blog/trumps-reported-decision-withdraw-paris-agreement-right-choice-america-and-world.
Trump travel ban decision:
Politics, not the law, in the 4th Circuit
by Hans A. von Spakovsky
{foxnews.com} ~ With its embarrassing opinion in International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has now joined the ranks of the Ninth Circuit as one of the most out-of-control federal courts in the nation... Its May 25 decision upholding the injunction against President Trump’s executive order implementing a temporary halt to entry of aliens from six terrorist countries was a political decision, not a legal decision. The bias and prejudice that poisons the majority’s political diatribe is encapsulated in an outrageous statement made right on page one. There, Judge Roger Gregory claims that the text of the executive order “speaks with vague words of national security” but “in context drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination.” Then he makes the astounding claim that the executive order violates the First Amendment because it establishes “a religious orthodoxy” and favors “one religion over another.” The rest of the opinion resides in the same imaginary, Alice-in-Wonderland world that Gregory and his cohorts have created in their own minds about this issue...http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/05/28/trump-travel-ban-decision-politics-not-law-in-4th-circuit.html?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTWprMk1tUmhOVFUxTVRGbCIsInQiOiJlQThOZGFuQkhUNXZmTlRoamRMU2Y1OW9EYWFvMk4zbWdwT0pQa1dxdERxc3JCNDZTUUdBM3pWeWZWNVZmVlZZUHcwdmF0U080VFMwa3JlNlBsbjFsQlMwb2RwT2xcLzc2WUdSaXcwNXhsZ3luSHk1MGpHM1A5Y3o2TzVSY2p2UEgifQ%253D%253D

Egypt's Battle Against Islamic Extremism
by Shireen Qudosi
by Shireen Qudosi
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ For a Western audience, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is a complex figure, who was shunned by the liar-nObama administration... There appear truly pressing, immediate priorities in Egypt, such as developing the economy and combating the avalanche of extremist attempts to overthrow him. Among Middle East and North African territories, Egypt stands out as a primary target, given the cocktail of challenges that position it as a center of radical Islam. President Sisi faces violent extremist hotbeds in the Sinai Peninsula, and the still-destabilizing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood a political arm of violent radicals... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10458/egypt-islamic-extremism

Iran tests the US in southeastern Syria
Iraqi Harakat al Abdal on the way toward Tanf
by Amir Toumaj & Caleb Weiss
{longwarjournal.org} ~ Major powers involved in the Syrian war are racing to maximize gains from the crumbling Islamic State in southern and eastern Syria. The continued advancement of pro-Syrian regime forces and Iranian-backed militias toward the US-held Tanf base... as well as the potential advance of both sides toward the Iraqi border area – raise the risk of further clashes that may draw in the US and Russia, though the latter has been unwilling to challenge US strikes against a pro-regime convoy and Syrian warplanes this year. After failing to respond to US warning shots and Russian dissuasion, a pro-regime convoy last month was struck by US airstrikes as it was approaching within 25 kilometers of a US “de-confliction zone” northwest of a base at Tanf, which is near a major border crossing with Iraq, according to the US-led coalition formed to fight the Islamic State...http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2017/06/iran-tests-the-us-in-southeastern-syria.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LongWarJournalSiteWide+%28FDD%27s+Long+War+Journal+Update%29

Krauthammer says U.S.
missile defense test “a big deal”
by foxnews.com
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ Charles Krauthammer said on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Tuesday that the Pentagon’s successful test of its missile defense program by destroying a mock warhead over the Pacific Ocean... with an interceptor that is key to protecting U.S. territory from a North Korean attack is “a big deal and it’s just in time.” “We really are reaching important history where we are going to be susceptible to a rouge state meaning North Korea could be Iran later hitting the homeland with a nuclear weapon and we need a way to shoot it down,” said Krauthammer. http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/special-report-bret-baier/blog/2017/05/31/krauthammer-says-us-missile-defense-test-%E2%80%9C-big-deal%E2%80%9D
