REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

Jobs Surge in April, Unemployment Rate Falls to the Lowest Since 1969 -CNBC “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,” Jeff Cox writes. The American economy “easily beat Wall Street expectations of 190,000 and a 3.8% jobless rate.” Behind the numbers: Unemployment rate falls to lowest in nearly 50 years CNN Poll: Trump's Approval Rating on the Economy Hits a New High -CNN “President Donald Trump hits a new high on his economic approval ratings in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, reaching 56% of Americans saying he's doing a good job on the economy,” Grace Sparks reports. “At the same time, Trump's favorability rating has hit its highest point since the 100-day mark of his presidency.” Don’t Call it a Coup. Venezuelans Have a Right to Replace an Oppressive, Toxic Regime. -The Washington Post “Tuesday’s uprising is not a ‘coup attempt,’ as the Maduro regime, echoed by too many people abroad, calls it. Rather, it is the latest in a series of legitimate and, for the most part, nonviolent efforts by Venezuelans, both civilian and military, to throw off an oppressive, toxic regime so that they can freely elect a legitimate government,” The Washington Posteditorial board writes. “Supporters of freedom and democracy should stand in solidarity with Mr. Guaidó and the many thousands of Venezuelans now bravely asserting their rights.” 🎬 Watch: A message to all the patriotic citizens of Venezuela A Real Attorney General -The Wall Street Journal  “Washington pile-ons are never pretty, but this week’s political setup of Attorney General William Barr is disreputable even by Beltway standards,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. “Democrats and the media are turning the AG into a villain for doing his duty and making the hard decisions that special counsel Robert Mueller abdicated . . . This trashing of Bill Barr shows how frustrated and angry Democrats continue to be that the special counsel came up empty in his Russia collusion probe.” White House Unveils Rule to Protect Health Workers’ Religious, Moral Beliefs -The Wall Street Journal “The Trump administration will expand enforcement of protections for medical workers with moral or faith-based objections to medical procedures such as abortion,” Stephanie Armour reports. “The rule is needed, supporters say, because many health-care providers have long felt they have had to violate their beliefs and often lack the ability to bring legal action on their own.” Watch: The President and First Lady take part in a National Day of Prayer The Incredibly Dumb Bill Barr Scandal -National Review “What is perhaps most notable about this episode is that Robert Mueller — or, perhaps, as Barr hinted in his Wednesday testimony, people around him — were concerned about the media coverage and political discussion around his report. Particularly troubling was that it wasn’t damning enough of the president. This is not a prosecutorial concern, but a political one unworthy of people who were invested with incredible investigative power in the name of objectivity,” the National Review editorial board writes. “Bill Barr’s critics are demonstrating their lack of judgment and seriousness, not his.” Ivanka Trump: Empowered Women Pave the Way to Economic Progress -CNN “I recently traveled to Africa to advance the White House's Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, or W-GDP, which seeks to reach 50 million women in the developing world by 2025,” Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump writes. “We will work to achieve this goal by supporting women in the workplace, helping them succeed as entrepreneurs, and by advancing legal reforms that will create greater gender equality.” U.S. Steel to Spend $1 Billion on Mon Valley Works -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette U.S. Steel announced plans this week “that it will spend $1 billion to upgrade its Mon Valley Works, a move the company says will keep the region’s last integrated steel mill operating for decades to come,” Daniel Moore reports. “The company will build a combined casting and rolling facility — the first of its kind at any American steel mill — and a cogeneration power plant. Put together, the combination aims to reduce emissions an

This is the Strongest Economy We’ve Seen in a Decade, America (That’s Bad News for Socialists) “The year 2019 was supposed to mark the end of the Trump economic surge. But the longer the year goes, the more it looks like there’s no end in sight. The economy is growing faster, job creation is resilient, and wage growth is surpassing anything we’ve seen in the last 10 years. It’s great news for the average American, and increasingly inconvenient for those telling us capitalism has failed,” Brian Brenberg writes in Fox News. “Add it all up and it’s the strongest economic picture we’ve seen in more than a decade. And it’s left the gloom-and-doom prophets scratching their heads.” Click here to read more. “It’s a good time not to be ‘privileged,’ to borrow the political vernacular of our progressive friends. Friday’s labor report showed employers added 263,000 jobs in April as the unemployment rate dropped to 3.6%, the lowest in five decades. The best news is that the biggest beneficiaries of this tight labor market are the folks who struggled during the slow-growth Obama years,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. “Many of the robust job gains came in businesses that hire those with less education. Construction added 33,000 jobs last month, for example, and has added 256,000 over the last year.” “If you relied on the Washington Post just a month before Election Day 2016, you would think the economy was on the brink of disaster,” Charles Gasparino writes in the New York Post. “What’s even more egregious is that the same folks predicting the end of the world refuse to provide sane analysis of radical proposals dribbling out of the mouths of the Democrats.” Ivanka Trump, who has helped the President lead the charge on American jobs, “heralded the new report that unemployment hit a 49-year low by cheering, ‘We’re making it happen,’” Paul Bedard reports in the Washington Examiner. “In a statement to Washington Secrets, the first daughter said, ‘Our policies continue to deliver more and better jobs for American workers.’ While others mined the report for how groups of Americans are benefiting in the economic surge, Trump has noted that there are now more job openings than those in unemployment lines.” “It increasingly looks like FBI chief Jim Comey was in far over his head when it came to counter-espionage. He may have been fooled by Russian disinformation targeting Trump,” the New York Post editorial board writes. “Comey just penned a Times op-ed calling Barr a lying liar who’s been thoroughly corrupted by the president. Sure sounds like he’s worried about what Bill Barr is going to discover in his review of the misadventures of Comey’s FBI.”
