Recession

🇺🇸 The Sahm Rule Was Right All Along

The Sahm Rule is one of the cleanest, most reliable ways to identify when the U.S. is in recession. It’s simple: if the three month average unemployment rate rises half a percentage point above its 12 month low, you’re already in one. It’s not about forecasts, it’s a contemporaneous signal and it’s been 100% accurate since the 1970s. When it flirted with activation in 2023, Claudia Sahm herself urged caution because of pandemic era distortions, but she also stressed that if it flipped cleanly, it meant the labor market was weaker than the glossy headlines implied.

Fast forward, and the revisions now show that’s exactly what happened. In August 2024, BLS benchmark adjustments erased 818,000 jobs. By February 2025, another 589,000 were gone. And just recently, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent flagged that another 800,000 could be stripped out. Add to that the steady drip of downward revisions through 2025, June flipping from a modest gain to a net job loss and the labor market has been overstated by somewhere between 2.3 and 2.4 million jobs since April 2023.

Like i said in my previous post that kind of wholesale rewrite hasn’t happened since 2009, when the BLS had to admit it had massively overstated payrolls heading into the financial crisis. And history shows that these benchmark adjustments aren’t just statistical clean up. They almost always surface at turning points, the stagflationary recession of the mid 1970s, the double dip downturn in the early 1980s, and the collapse of 2007-09. They’re usually evidence that the economy was already much weaker beneath the surface, and the headline strength was more illusion than fact.

Which brings us back to the Sahm Rule. On the charts today, the indicator looks muted, sitting well below the 0.5 threshold. But that’s because the unemployment rate itself has been calculated off job counts that are now being revised down. If those missing millions of jobs had been reflected at the time, the unemployment rate would have been higher, the Sahm Rule would have ticked up, and the U.S. might already be shown as having tripped into recession. In other words, the Sahm Rule didn’t miss, the inputs did. Once the revisions are fully baked in, history may show it was flashing red in 2023 while policymakers insisted on labor resilience.

That’s what makes this so consequential. For two years, the Fed leaned on the strong jobs market as its justification for keeping rates higher for longer. But if those jobs never really existed, then the Fed was tightening into fragility. That turns its high for longer stance into a policy error built on faulty data.

Which is why the September 17, 2025 cut is unlikely to be a one off. As these revisions settle and the depth of labor weakness becomes impossible to deny, the Fed won’t just be trimming for optics. It will be forced into a broader pivot in 2026 acknowledging, belatedly, that the Sahm Rule was right all along.

This is crazy

BREAKING: Room goes SILENT as an emotional RFK Jr. reveals the latest numbers on chronic disease.

THIS is why he’s cleaning house.

“This morning, I got the latest numbers from the CDC that 76.4% of Americans now have a chronic disease. This is stunning. When my uncle was President, it was 11%. In 1950, it was 3%... That’s why we have to fire people at CDC. They DID NOT do their job. This was THEIR JOB to keep us healthy. I need to fire some of those people to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Young White Male

The reportedly Jewish Transgender shooter is all of a sudden a "Young White Male," and therefore we need to disarm ALL YOUNG WHITE MEN, according to lesbo-looking Fox News commentator Trey Gowdy.

The talking points have been dispensed, and they are quickly trying to spin this hate crime against Christian Whites to be a 2A and “antisemitism” issue.

Don’t let them get away with this.

🇺🇸 Exclusive: Leak Confirms Chicago Military Action

The Department of Homeland Security has requested military assistance for upcoming ICE operations in Chicago, according to a “For Official Use Only” memo that I’ve obtained. A military advance team has already arrived.

The request begins:

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests immediate Department of Defense (DoD) support to provide existing infrastructure to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), a component of DHS, to conduct operations in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area. This support is critical to ensuring the efficient and secure handling of aliens in accordance with federal regulations and in line with ICE’s ongoing efforts to address public safety and national security.”
