House Weeper Paul Ryan!

Will it get better? -  Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)

The former vice presidential nominee is now third in line in the power of succession. The House of Representatives voted today to place him at the gavel. He will now have the difficult task of trying to get the House in order.

The Republican lawmaker from Janesville was really reluctant to take the task, but for the sake of the party, he decided to jump into this.

Paul Davis Ryan, you got a big House. Mr. Ryan, the pressure is now on you to work with President Barack Obama and the members of Congress.

You will be the third Midwestern lawmaker to become the most powerful (and yes gullible) lawmaker in the country. You will be issued Secret Service detail and a cool perks being the House Speaker. You are going to make tough decisions that may help or hurt the country.

Many in the insurgency thought Ryan will be willing to compromise with the Democrats. Ryan also said that he will work with the president. He warned Republicans that he will not cave to pressure from either the president or a handful of insurgents.

The White House has called the new Speaker and wished him well.

His predecessor Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said that he will get the budget and debt ceiling debacle completed before he steps down. Today the House had passed the legislation. The senate will take up the measure. Of course, I am guessing that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will find ways to derail the deal.

He was the chairman of House Ways and Means committee. He held that position for a couple of years now.

Picking him was a controversial move.

The 1st Congressional District has a Cook PVI rating of Republican +3. His district is a swing that leans Republican.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) will now continue his reign on World News Today.

The Boys Of Summer!

Haters are gonna hate. The jobs are coming and the ney sayers are complaining about it!

The U.S. Department of Labor released its jobs report for May. Another good day for the president, a lot of belly aching for the conservatives. The May jobs were around 280,000 giving the jobs rate a rise to 5.5%. This rise was due to an uptick in those who gave up on searching for jobs and those underemployed.

Nevertheless, another healthy jobs report means the president created more jobs than his predecessor.

But will the partisan agitators make noise about it?

Of course.

They can't tolerate good news in the country. They believe everything that President Barack Obama's done has ruined the country. The gas below $3.00 a gallon in most states, the unemployment numbers are below 6%, the stock market has improved, the world looks to the United States as a developing partner, and many are spending $$$$ on luxuries.

This ends a slump of slow job growth that seemed to hoover.

The AP added that last month's strong job growth suggests that employers remained confident enough to keep hiring even after the economy shrank during the first three months of the year. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in March and April by a combined net 32,000.

Construction and health care companies the drove the May job growth. On the negative side, persistently cheaper oil led energy companies to shed workers for a fifth straight month.

Still, average hourly wages rose only 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Tepid pay gains has been a persistent problem for the economy.

Still bitching and whining.

Over the past three months, the economy has added an average of 207,000 jobs, a decent gain though lower than last year's average of 263,667.

Consumers, the main driver of the U.S. economy, remain fairly cautious. Factory orders have dropped. But Friday's solid jobs report could help confirm the economy's vitality.

Auto and home sales are accelerating despite otherwise slow-spending consumers. More big employers, such as Wal-Mart, have unveiled pay hikes.

Those factors could power faster growth, fuel job gains and boost wages. If they do, a broader economic recovery than the one that's existed in the six years since the Great Recession officially ended could emerge.

Over the past 12 months, around 3 million jobs have been added. Those additional paychecks helped increase spending on housing and autos. Sales of newly built homes have surged 23.7 percent through the first four months of 2015 compared with a year ago, government data show. Rising demand for new homes could lead construction firms to ramp up hiring.

Americans bought 1.64 million cars and trucks in May, the most since July 2005. If that trend were to endure, it would benefit a manufacturing sector that's added a scant 4,000 jobs since January.

Employers seem to be envisioning a healthier economy, given that the weekly number of people applying for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — has remained under a historically low 300,000 for more than four months. By holding on to nearly all their workers, businesses are ensuring that they will have the capacity to respond to greater customer demand.

But the economy faces other challenges. The dollar has appreciated about 19 percent in the past year against other major currencies. That trend has made U.S. goods costlier overseas, thereby squeezing exports and the U.S.-based branches of foreign companies.

Nor has cheaper gasoline delivered much help. Instead of sparking the wave of consumer spending that many economists had expected, a nearly 45 percent drop in oil prices since July has damaged a U.S. economy increasingly reliant on energy drilling. The energy industry has shed workers and cut orders for pipelines and equipment.

The setbacks have been substantial enough that the International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it thinks the Federal Reserve should hold off on raising short-term interest rates until 2016. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, saying a rate increase could disrupt the economy, urged the Fed to await signs of wage growth.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she expects to raise rates this year if the economy continues to improve, thereby ending nearly seven years of record-low rates.

Falling unemployment usually leads to fewer people seeking work, forcing employers to boost wages. But plenty of people are still searching for jobs. The aftermath of the recession has left 8.5 million people unemployed and seeking work, about 1.3 million more than were jobless before the downturn began in late 2007.

Companies often increase pay when their workers become more productive. Yet productivity fell at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter — a sharper drop than the decline estimated a month ago, the government said Thursday.

Georgia Principal Fired Out The Cannon After Tossing A Racial Insult!

The principal of a school in Georgia got fired out the cannon after she was recorded making a racial insult.

Now I see "all the Black people" are leaving.

Oh, damn, I'm leaving too....!

The words of a former Georgia principal after she made an outright snark at attendees at a commencement speech. She screwed up on the scheduling and told the audience to wait until a valedictorian spoke.

People were exiting the auditorium. She went off and it was recorded on camera.

“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Nancy Gordeuk told the crowd. “It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving — all the black people.”

Gordeuk apologized for her comments over the weekend, claiming the “devil was in the house.” However, on Monday, she defended them and said she wasn't racist.

Look who's leaving, all the Black people!

“People always think the worst,” Gordeuk said. “You know, oh you say the word 'black,' you know, was I supposed to say ‘African American?’ Were they all born in Africa? No, they’re Americans. And, they live here. And, but just, I’m not a racist. People that know me, I've worked with disadvantaged kids like this that couldn't get through school, we help them get a high school diploma.”

It drove all the attendees to bounce. She told the junk food media that she screwed up and it lead to her getting her share of death threats and ridicule.

Nancy Gorduek was fired out the cannon after days of discussion. That discussion led to the board of directors at TNT Academy in Stone Mountain decided that it was way worse than expected.
