    (CNSNews.com) - The economy is the second most important issue for registered voters as the midterm election nears, a new Gallup Poll says. And there was very good economic news on Friday, as the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics rolled out the October employment report -- the final one before next week's midterm election.

    The number of employed Americans has never been higher. The 156,562,000 Americans employed in October is the twefth record set under President Donald Trump. The unemployment rate held at 3.7 percent, the same as last month and the lowest it's been in decades -- since the end of 1969. And the Hispanic unemployment rate, 4.4 percent, has never been lower.

    The unemployment rate for African-Americans, 6.2 percent, remained near the all-time low of 5.9 percent set in May.

    On top of those numbers, the economy added a whopping 250,000 jobs last month. After revisions, job gains have averaged 218,000 over the past 3 months.

    The number of Americans not in the labor force dipped to 95.8 million, down from last month's record high; and the labor force participation rate increased two-tenths of a point to 62.9 percent, a move in the right direction.

    Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (3.5 percent), adult women (3.4 percent), teenagers (11.9 percent), Whites (3.3 percent), Blacks (6.2 percent), and Asians (3.2 percent) showed little or no change in October.



    In October, the nation’s civilian noninstitutionalized population, consisting of all people age 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 258,514,000. Of those, 162,637,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one.

    The 162,637,000 who participated in the labor force equaled 629 percent of the 258,514,000 civilian noninstitutionalized population, the same as August.

    With all this economic success our deficit is still up 17% from last year and at the highest point since 2012. Our president is effectively just reverse moRtgaging our country. Enjoy the ride because when the cycle finally turns we are screwed.

    This is going to (continue to) unravel.

    Fuzzy Was was a bear, not a Democrat. Fake News. Bears have incisors shaped like the American Flag!

    Hers an article from Breitbart.

    On Friday, Circuit Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ordered Snipes to transfer a tally of all votes cast to the campaign of Republican gubernatorial nominee Gov. Rick Scott by 7:00 p.m. EST — a deadline the Broward official did not meet.

    Snipes is the subject of lawsuits contending she has mishandled vote counting in Broward for the midterm election that ended Tuesday and blocked access for candidates who say they should know how many ballots have not been counted and how her office is counting them.

    Broward’s vote counting since Tuesday has greatly narrowed GOP leads in the Senate race, in which Republican Rick Scott holds about a 15,000-vote margin over Democrat Bill Nelson with more than 8.1 million ballots cast; and in the governor’s race, where Republican Ron DeSantis leads Democrat Andrew Gillum by about 36,000 votes.

    (Watch: 9:23 — 12:50)


    A partial transcript is as follows:

    REID: Can you explain why there was that weird undervote in Broward County? Was there anything in the numbers that tell you why and what happened?

    FERNAND AMANDI: Before we get into that, on behalf of the other 49 states and the rest of the nation, to quote Brittney Spears — “Oops we did it again.” It’s amazing to me to think that 50 years ago this country could put a man on the man but in 2018 the nation’s most important political state can’t quite some to get the votes counted in time and figure it out. As to that under-ballot, it is a little bit bizarre that that happened. Am I the only one who finds somewhat suspicious and curious that these events when they do happen in Flordia, whether it be in 2000 or now in 2018, the problems always seem to be exasperated in the two counties that have the biggest Democratic counties in the state — Miami-Dade County and Broward County.

    The other thing I find suspicious and curious is, I may be the only one, whenever we get to the legally mandated recount situation there’s always a collective Republican freakout. All we are trying to do in the state of Florida is count the votes…. Why are the Republicans, nationally and in Florida, losing their collective minds when all that is trying to be done and all that is being asked to be done is to count every single vote?

    REID: Yeah. By the way, the same kind of intimidation tactics that we saw in 2000, they are rolling them out again, which makes people suspicious. If you are not worried that counting all the votes will bring in a Democratic wave, the other side, if there’s something else going on, that’s why you flip. Andrew Gillum isn’t freaking out and he’s behind. He’s not freaking out. But this is the tenor of the Republican protest. This is what they are mouthing, the most Democratic County, the largest country in Flordia. Here is the way they are treating Brenda Snipes, who is the long-time Election Supervisor there, who by the way is an older black woman in the Deep South. Just keep that in mind as you watch this video.

    ‘The View’ Hosts At War Over Meghan McCain

    Meghan McCain was warmly welcomed back to “The View” after mourning the death of respected Senator John McCain — but insiders say that recent on-camera clashes have renewed talk of dumping the young Republican! Shortly before Meghan’s father announced his final battle with terminal illness, “The View” insiders had told The National ENQUIRER that “Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg have had it with Meghan. They hate her politics and her stuck-up airs!” At one point, Joy even reportedly groused: “If I hear her say ‘my father’ one more time, I’m going to puke!” Whoopi, meanwhile, was said to be fed up with Meghan’s rude habit of “interrupting” the other panelists. As reported by The ENQUIRER in March 2018, Whoopi and Joy wanted Meghan replaced with Republican strategist Ana Navarro. Now the turncoat conservative is settling into a regular Friday slot just as Joy and Meghan return to bitter brawling on the show…

    As a fiscal conservative this isn't going to end well. When it crashes, and it will, its gonna be bad. Ironically, Trump will probably only make it 1 term, so whoever the next President is, will get the blame from uninformed Americans

    Sadly, that's probably true.

    We were on this path ever since Bush pushed the bailouts.

    The difference is that was a time of crisis and we were trying to save our economy. I didnt like it then and I still have issues with it now, but it worked. Now it's just a money grab during our time of prosperity. We just wasted the biggest boom economy of our lifetimes when we should have been using it to pay off our debts and strengthen our safety nets. When the tide turns it will get ugly, that will be Trump's ultimate legacy.

    No, it did not work, it just made the impending doom much worse and a little further down the line. Kicked the can down the road.

    We are more screwed now when its time to pay up. We printed trillions of dollars out of thin air and kept interest rates near zero for too long. That's going to boomerang.

    Things are rolling now so you can't say it didn't work. We literally have the best economy of our lifetimes. if Trump had acted responsible with our economy then there would be no boomerang, it gave us a chance and was ultimately better than austerity. Chance wasted.
