Dem Rep. Steve Cohen has a glass chicken and a bucket of KFC at hearing where Dems contend that Barr was “too afraid” to take questions from staff attorneys to appear:
I asked Cohen if his holding a glass chicken and bucket of KFC was helpful, and Cohen called Barr “Chicken Barr” and a “coward”
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., left, laughs with Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., after Cohen arrived with a bucked of fried chicken and a plastic chicken as Attorney General William Barr will not appear before a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
On this day of prayer, we once again place our hopes in the hands of our Creator. We give thanks for this wondrous land of liberty, & we pray that THIS nation – OUR home – these United States – will forever be strengthened by the Goodness and the Grace & the eternal GLORY OF GOD!

From The Heart – Wounded Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein Speaks To President Trump At White House CTH - May 2, 2019
An incredible moment during the National Prayer Service today as Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, the leader and survivor from the recent synagogue shooting in Poway, California, delivers heartfelt prayers and remarks to President Donald Trump.
The strength of Rabbi Goldstein is inspiring; his message is uplifting; his faith is unwavering, and his courage is affirming. This is an American message of hope and heart.
"I wanted to paint a picture of President Trump and First Lady Melania on a jacked-up motorcycle, painted up with the American flag and patriotism, as they ride down a bumpy, crumbling road that represents the hazards and the problems that this presidency has faced since Trump has been elected. Behind the president are a broad variety of Americans. Some are wearing their red, MAGA hats, a veteran saluting, and people from all walks of life. They are all there, and we are cheering on our president. If you look closely in the cracks you might see something interesting there. Get ready . . . this is the MAGA Ride!" -- Jon McNaughton
MAGAnomics – April Jobs Report: +263,000, Unemployment Rate 3.6%, Wage Growth +3.2% CTH - May 3, 2019
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases the April 2019 jobs report and the results are excellent. It’s a home run for MAGAnomics as the trifecta continues: Job gains +263,000, Wage growth +3.2%, Inflation low at 1.4%.
With a gain of 263,000 new jobs in April, the overall unemployment rate dropped to 3.6%. There are more jobs available than people looking for work. Additionally, the prior two months jobs results were revised upward by 16,000 more than previous reported.
[snip]
MAGAnomics: Low unemployment (3.6%); wages growing (+3.2%); inflation stable (1.4%). These measures all have a cumulative impact on paycheck-to-paycheck Americans. Prices for durable goods are stable and wage growth is exceeding inflation. That means more disposable income in the middle-class. Which, when combined with the increased pay from lower middle-class tax rates, is exactly the intended outcome of MAGAnomics.
Last week’s consumer spending results for the first quarter defied expectations. Consumer spending on goods increases 1.7%. Overall spending +.09 in March, reaches highest gain in ten years. The deplorables are spending their higher wages. Meanwhile core inflation drops to 1.4%. The pundits are shocked. This is Main Street growth and economic stability; this is not, repeat NOT, Wall Street growth.
We are in the period where exporting U.S. wealth (globalist policies) has been slowed/halted. We are confronting protectionist tariffs abroad which impede our exports, and simultaneously applying reciprocal tariffs toward those who want access to our U.S. market. As a consequence, capital investment is returning to Main Street USA (nationalist policy). This is the heart of MAGAnomic policy.
Low unemployment; rising wages; stable inflation and resurging U.S. blue-collar manufacturing is the key (steel/aluminum tariffs assisting).
This internal dynamic means the U.S. consumer can fuel the the U.S. economy while President Trump, Secretary Ross, Secretary Mnuchin and Ambassador Robert Lighthizer utilize the leverage of tariffs, to negotiate better America-First trade deals.
We have not had the benefit of this blue-collar economic success in the past 30+ years because corrupt multinational interests were paying and bribing -via lobbyists- politicians and public officials within DC for policies that primarily benefited Wall Street. Those policies blocked Main Street growth and U.S. wealth; and exported jobs and incomes to foreign nations. President Donald J. Trump has stopped this process.
^ Draining the judicial swamp has been one of President Trump's most impressive achievements during his presidency (especially considering the historic obstruction he's faced), but has received very little attention.
Jobs surge in April, unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969 CNBC - May 3, 2019
The U.S. jobs machine kept humming along in April, adding a robust 263,000 new hires while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest in a generation, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Unemployment was last this low in December 1969 when it hit 3.5%. At a time when many economists see a tight labor market, big job growth continues as the economic expansion is just a few months away from being the longest in history.
April’s big increase comes amid a mostly positive backdrop of economic data.
GDP increased 3.2% during the first quarter, far exceeding expectations, while productivity during the quarter jumped 3.6% for its best gain in five years.
--The U.S. added 263,000 JOBS, crushing market expectations! --Unemployment rate fell to 3.6% = lowest rate since Dec 1969 --Adult (20+) women unemployment rate fell to 3.1% = lowest since 1953
Ep. 972 Even The NY Times Admits Spying Occurred. The Dan Bongino Show 5/3/2019
In this episode I address the latest story from The NY Times which blows the lid off of the Obama administration’s use of spies to target the Trump team. I interview George Papadopoulos to get answers about this scandal. I also address the booming economic numbers.
Need to be careful with the wage figures...the Dems will take credit for that one, with the increase to federal minimum wage.... "THAT'S ALL US, NOT HIM".
Was there an increase in the federal minimum wage? According to this link, it hasn't changed since 2009... https://www.thebalancecareers.com/2018-19-federal- state-minimum-wage-rates-2061043 If it was changed just recently, that could be out of date, and I've been super busy the past 2 months, so not nearly as connected with current events. So it's a serious question, has there been a recent change?
Of course, even with no change, it wouldn't stop the Dems from making that claim.
The average wage figures are going up because employers can finally afford to pay higher wages. Why?
President Trump.
Our GDP is up, inflation is stable, and our unemployment rate is down.
Winning.
Any Larry Kudlow fans here? He's a financial rock star, and great fun to listen to.
