FOX: Let's talk about the jobs number. Less than expected. How much of a disappointment is that?
HASSETT: Oh, it's not really. The unemployment rate dropped a lot. Because of rounding it's actually a bigger drop that you can see if you only look at the first digit.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Not even remotely true. According to the Fed, the median and average sales prices for a home peaked in mid-2022 and have been slowly falling — despite several million migrants arriving. But due to high interest rates, the Home Price Index is still slowly rising.
