“Deportations Boosted the Job Market—Just Not for the Jobs We Count”

Conservative pundits this week assured the American public that the grim jobs report—showing sluggish hiring and rising unemployment—was actually good news, proof that their deportation policies are working exactly as intended.

“Look, if we kick out illegals, there are fewer people to take jobs,” explained one commentator on Patriot News Now. “So when the jobs disappear, that’s just the economy adjusting. It’s not a failure—it’s supply and demand!”

Pressed on why the latest labor statistics showed fewer opportunities for American workers, a Republican lawmaker clarified: “The jobs are out there. They’re just the good kind now—patriotic, hard-to-measure, under-the-table opportunities like mowing your neighbor’s lawn for free or sitting on hold with Comcast for hours instead of someone in another country doing it.”

Economists were puzzled by the data, but conservatives had ready explanations:

  1. Blame the Deep State: “The Bureau of Labor Statistics is probably run by illegals anyway. You think those spreadsheets just fill themselves out? Fake jobs numbers, folks.”
  2. The Hidden Boom: “You can’t measure the economic productivity of American grit, prayer, and family values. Those are the real jobs.”
  3. Liberals Ruined It: “If Democrats hadn’t raised the minimum wage in some places, Americans would be lining up to pick strawberries for $2 an hour just like we predicted.”

Meanwhile, rural towns reported a shortage of farm workers, construction laborers, and service staff. “This is perfect,” said one anti-immigration activist. “Now Americans will step up and reclaim their birthright to toil in 110-degree fields. Any day now. Just wait.”

When asked why those jobs remain unfilled, he adjusted his American flag lapel pin and replied: “Well, you can’t expect Americans to do every job. That’s socialism.”

In summary, conservatives have found the silver lining: if Americans aren’t working, it’s because deportations worked so well they eliminated jobs entirely. “Mission accomplished,” one pundit cheered. “No illegals, no problem. And sure, no jobs either—but at least we’re unemployed in English.”

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Trump Unveils Bold New Healthcare Vision: Trumpcare, Which Is Totally Different From Obamacare Except for the Parts That Are the Same

In a dazzling Rose Garden announcement complete with golden bunting, a fog machine, and a choir humming “Hail to the Chief” in a minor key, President Donald J. Trump unveiled what he called “the most spectacular, most terrific, most everybody-is-saying-so healthcare plan in American history.” He dubbed it Trumpcare™ —a revolutionary system in which the federal government will give money directly to people so that they can better afford their own healthcare. “Folks, it’s simple,” Trump proclaimed, flanked by several cardboard cutouts of himself in a lab coat. “Under Trumpcare, instead of the government being involved—terrible idea, horrible—we’re going to give people money so they can pay for their healthcare. Total freedom. The best freedom.” The audience applauded, though several appeared to be staffers who had been instructed to clap every time Trump paused to breathe. A Reporter Dares to Ask During the Q&A portion—limited to 30 seconds and only reporters who had pre-approved ...
