Jobs data revisions have become the new normal.
After the numbers are released and beat expectations, the numbers are revised lower a month later.
By then, everyone is focused on the next jobs report.
Follow us @KobeissiLetter for real time analysis as this develops.

- 344,000 jobs in Q4 2023, according to the BED survey released by BLS. On the other hand, nonfarm payrolls data showed that the US labor market added 663,000 and 577,000 new jobs in Q3 and Q4 2023. This is a jaw dropping 1,088,000 difference in job count over just two quarters. The labor market is weaker than the headlines make it seem.

The unemployment rate has already crossed above its 36-month moving average for the first time in 4 years. Every time this has occurred in the past, a spike in the jobless rate followed. The US labor market is weakening.

- Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies.
- Her address will mark the first time Harris offers a policy focused speech since she was anointed as the Democratic candidate in July and been roundly accused by critics since as being a policy-free zone, as Breitbart News reported.
- The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office in an effort to deflect many voters’ low marks for President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy.
- Time magazine reports Harris plans to direct the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies to investigate and penalize “big corporations” that violate government rules in a mirror of Soviet command economy diktats.

- White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied that Vice President Kamala Harris is distancing herself from “Bidenomics” during a tense exchange with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.
- “When did you guys learn that Vice President Harris wants to distance herself from Bidenomics?” Doocy asked Jean-Pierre, to which she responded by asking him why he believed that.
- Doocy specifically noted the outlet’s report about Harris avoiding Biden’s “unpopularity” on the economy, adding, “Can you blame her?”
- “Do you know this is the Biden-Harris administration?” the press secretary asked. “Are you aware that this is the Biden-Harris administration, and she is indeed the vice president?”
- Doocy countered by saying, “But if the president’s policies on the economy were working, or if they were popular, wouldn’t he still be the candidate?”

- Former President Donald Trump vowed that if elected president, he would “sign an executive order directing” each cabinet secretary and agency head to “use every tool” they had to defeat inflation.
- “On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order directing every cabinet secretary and agency head to use every tool and authority at their disposal to defeat inflation and to bring consumer prices rapidly down,” Trump told the crowd from Asheville, North Carolina.
- Trump’s comments come as the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Wednesday that inflation had risen in July. The consumer price index was reported to have climbed up to 2.9 in July, up from a year ago.
- In June, the inflation index rate increased by three percent from a year ago.

- President Joe Biden was not aware of the latest revelations involving his son Hunter Biden, the White House said Wednesday.
- “The president has never done business with his son,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “He was not aware of this. For anything further, I would have to refer you to Hunter Biden’s personal representatives.”
- The New York Times reported that Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a profitable energy product in Italy while his father was vice president in the Obama administration. Hunter Biden was a board member of Ukrainian gas company Burisma at the time, according to records the Biden administration had previously withheld for years.

- • German media outlets reported in a joint report that federal prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant in June against a Ukrainian national who may be living in Poland.
- • The individual was identified as Volodymyr Z. (what a strange coincidence?)
- • The explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.

- to enact emergency powers and Democrat governors can send out millions of mail-in ballots to every registered voter. They harvest the ballots, stop the counting in the swing states at 3:00 AM on election night, then deliver the harvested ballots to Democrat districts in contested swing states, and the steal is on. That’s how they did it in 2020. California alone supplied approximately 20 million mail-in ballots that were sent to everyone on the voter rolls. For reference, the Georgia election was decided by 11,000 votes, Wisconsin by 20,000 votes, and Arizona by 45,000 votes. Trump tried to warn us back then too.

Q
- The story originates in the Washington Post, so the context is always a presentation with the intent to undermine President Trump. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, this story is cited directly to RFK Jr and contains quotes from him.
- This is not a story from anonymous sources or sources ‘familiar with the events.’ This is a story directly from the horses’ mouth. Robert F Kennedy Jr wants the information within this story made public. REMEMBER THAT!
- It sounds to me like RFK Jr is trying to present a pressure point to entice President Trump to pull him closer. In other words, the CIA is concerned that Trump did not initially take the RFK JR bait, and now they are going to run a public campaign to position their operative.
- I’ll say it again, Robert F Kennedy Jr is an intelligence asset.

- There are some remarkable revelations in the 6-page pdf. One detail outlines how it was a Butler County SWAT officer who fired the initial shot that stopped Matthew Crooks after 8 shots fired. The Feds did not initially stop the assassin, the locals did. Another detail highlights how the Butler County coroner was not aware the FBI quickly released the body of Crooks for immediate cremation.
- ♦ […] “The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I’m 99% sure based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn’t fire after his 8th shot.” [Clay Higgins Report, pdf – page 4]

- And a major cybersecurity firm said the hack included a ‘highly targeted operation, specifically aimed at Donald Trump’s personal Twitter [X] account’ alongside its assault on the pair’s livestream, sowing chaos for their X ‘Spaces’ interview Monday.
- Though one London-based expert told DailyMail.com he would take the firm’s claims ‘with a pinch of salt for now’ — the murky nature of these technical difficulties during the interview has raised the specter of US election’s increasing digital vulnerability.

The report is based on more than 62,000 threat detections among Zayo customers during the first half of the year.
- DDoS attacks have also gained in intensity year over year, each lasting about 45 minutes in the first half of this year, according to the report. The attacks are costing organizations about $270,000 per attack, or about $6,000 per minute.
- The report comes just weeks after Microsoft disclosed a major DDoS attack in late July that took down its Azure and 365 platforms for about eight hours. Microsoft said it plans to enhance additional validation on its Azure network by November and will also improve monitoring.

- concluded in its ruling that “a request for public records related to a private contractor’s services to a public agency can be served upon non-agency custodians of the relevant public records — including the private contractor if he or she is the custodian of the records sought — and the Court of Appeals erred in concluding otherwise.” To clarify, the case was spawned from a man who, in 2022, sought records from a college contractor but was denied by the Fulton County Superior Court and Georgia Court of Appeals. It wasn’t election-related, but I couldn’t help but confirm with Georgia patriots, who told me this is HUGE NEWS in their fight to secure the 2024 election and get accountability for the stolen 2020 election By the way, it’s not just Dominion; Runbeck Election Services also does a lot of work in Georgia. They contract with Fulton and other counties to print and sort ballots. If anything goes “wrong” in November’s election, we now have a foolproof way to get to the truth before they delete everything This is one of the most significant rulings in recent history.
