The June jobs report came out today, and after months of missing estimates, Joe Biden ran toward the cameras the second that the report looked good.

It’s amazing what happens when government stops artificially closing businesses and starts signaling that the extra goodies are going to have to come to an end.

The U.S. economy added 850,000 jobs in June—the biggest gain in 10 months—and workers’ wages rose briskly as the labor market heated up after a spring lull.”

The increase in U.S. jobs reported Friday by the Labor Department was the strongest since last August and exceeded economists’ estimates. It followed a gain of 583,000 jobs in May and 269,000 in April.”

The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey of households, rose to 5.9% from 5.8%, in part because the number of job seekers grew last month.”

Like all presidents, Biden now wants the credit when the news is good.

However, while the jobs numbers are good, there are lots and lots and LOTS of other problems within the Biden administration. So as soon as the official remarks were over, reporters wanted to ask questions. Joe Biden, however, does not want to hear anything about those. President Joe “Woodrow Wilson” Biden would only like to answer HAPPY questions. Why does the press have to be so negative on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND???

It seems like the most obvious drum to keep beating, but imagine the wailing and frothing by the media (looking at YOU, Jim Acosta) if Donald Trump had said “it’s a holiday weekend and I’m not answering any more questions.” Yes, Trump called the press “negative” and a hundred other justifiable descriptors many a time. And the freaking out by the press was as predictable as fireworks on the Fourth of July.

But because this is Joe Biden, the press will meekly accept their scolding and nothing more will be said about it.

And do you know why Biden is snapping and complaining that the media is pushing “negative” questions on him about tough issues like Afghanistan and the eventuality that everything we have fought to do there will be subsumed by the Taliban in a sick redux of 1975 Saigon? Because this truly is the media’s fault.

It’s not the media’s fault for asking hard questions NOW. It’s the media’s fault for not asking hard questions DURING THE CAMPAIGN.

Remember, the real rigging of the election was done by the media. Every time they opened their mouths, sent a tweet, or published a story, the single-minded focus of the left-wing media was ORANGE MAN BAD. But in order for ORANGE MAN BAD to be convincing, Biden had to be OLD MAN GOOD. And Biden – and his team – got used to the OLD MAN GOOD treatment of tongue baths, adoring coverage, and breathless amazement about ice cream flavors.

Of course Biden, in his declining state, accepts the love and loyalty of the media (Peter Doocy excepted) as his rightful due – after all, he has that magical “D” after his name. So when they DARE to actually ask him questions of substance – ones that they shouldn’t even be asking Kamala Harris, apparently, lest her job seem too difficult for her to manage – Biden gets testy and crotchety. Suddenly OLD MAN GOOD is just an old man with anger issues who just wants pudding and a nap.

And that guy is President of the United States. That should scare the hell out of all of us. You think THAT GUY is going to stand up to China? Or Russia? Or his own staff when they hand him a blankie and a pillow? At this point, Biden might give Taiwan to China for a year’s supply of ice cream.

Happy holiday weekend, media. Remember, you EARNED this one.
