Historically, the United States economy did better on average when Democrats were US President than when Republicans were US President.
This was certainly true over the last several decades.
The reasons for this are uncertain and debated.
Ten of the 11 US recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican US Presidents.
Job creation refers to the number of net jobs added, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports on a monthly basis.
Journalist Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post summarized the total job creation by US President.
For the 13 US Presidents starting from Harry Truman, total job creation was about 70.5 million for the 7 Democratic US Presidents and 29.1 million for the 6 Republican US Presidents.
The Democratic US Presidents were in office for a total of 429 months, with 164,000 jobs per month added on average, while the Republican US Presidents were in office for 475 months, with a 61,000 jobs added per month average.
This monthly average rate was 2.4 times faster under Democratic US Presidents.

GDP is a measure of both economic production and income.
The Economist reported in August 2014 that real (inflation-adjusted) GDP growth was about 1.8% greater under Democratic US Presidents, from Truman up to Obama's first term, which ended in January 2013.
Blinder and Watson calculated the average Democratic real GDP growth rate as 4.3%, vs. 2.5% for Republicans, from President Truman's elected term up to President Obama's first term, which ended January 2013.
CNN said in September 2020 that annual average GDP growth was 4.1% under Democratic US Presidents and 2.5% under Republican US Presidents.
The New York Times said in February 2021 that since 1933, annual average GDP growth was 4.6% under Democratic US Presidents and 2.4% under Republican US Presidents.
Blinder and Watson found that the US unemployment rate fell under Democratic Presidents by an average of 0.8%, while it increased under Republican Presidents by an average of 1.1%.
Journalist Andrew Soergel wrote in U.S. News & World Report in October 2015 that ever since John F. Kennedy's Presidency, the unemployment rate was lower at the end of every Democrat's Presidency than at the start of it whereas this is only true for Ronald Reagan among Republican US Presidents during the same time period. (
Soergel's statement here is slightly wrong since the US unemployment rate was exactly the same–at 7.5%–at both the start and the end of Democrat Jimmy Carter's Presidency.)
Historical unemployment rate statistics
Budget deficit
Blinder and Watson reported that budget deficits were smaller under Democratic US Presidents, at 2.1% potential GDP versus 2.8% potential GDP for Republican US Presidents, a difference of about 0.7%.
They wrote that higher budget deficits should in theory have boosted the economy more for Republicans, and therefore cannot explain the greater GDP growth under Democrats.
Stock market returns
CNN reported in October 2020 that 10 of the last 11 recessions began under Republican US Presidents, and that “Every Republican president since Benjamin Harrison, who was in office from 1889 to 1893, had a recession start in their first term in office.”
NBER reports the start date of recessions; the following list includes the President in office at that time and their party:
February 2020 (Trump / R)
December 2007 (Bush 43 / R)
March 2001 (Bush 43 / R)
July 1990 (Bush 41 / R)
July 1981 (Reagan / R)
January 1980 (Carter / D)
November 1973 (Nixon / R)
December 1969 (Nixon / R)
April 1960 (Eisenhower / R)
August 1957 (Eisenhower / R)
July 1953 (Eisenhower / R)
November 1948 (Truman / D)
Journalist David Leonhardt wrote in the New York Times that economists he interviewed were unsure about the causes of the better economic performance under Democratic US Presidents.
However, one proposed cause was that Democratic US Presidents were, on average, more pragmatic than Republican US Presidents were.
Random good luck and the condition of the US economy at the start of US Presidents' terms have also been suggested as possible causes of this due to the fact that it's easier for an economy to grow rapidly and create a lot of jobs right after a recession as opposed to after a very long period of economic growth and strong job creation.

The Pitch Lake is the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world.
It is estimated to contain 10 million tons of asphalt.
It can be found in La Brea in southwest Trinidad, inside the Siparia Regional Corporation.
The lake covers about 100 acres (0,405 square kilometres).
The lake is 250 feet (76,2 metres) deep.
The Pitch Lake has been very interesting to explorers and scientists.
It was re-discovered by Sir Walter Raleigh in his expedition there in 1595.
Raleigh himself used the asphalt to caulk his ship.
The native Amerindians told Raleigh where he can find the lake.
The native Amerindians had their own story about where the lake came from.
The story goes that the people living there were celebrating a victory over a rival tribe when they got carried away in their celebration.
They then cooked and ate the sacred hummingbird which they believed possessed the souls of their ancestors.
According to legend, their winged God punished them by opening the earth and calling the pitch lake to swallow the entire village.
So, the lake became a reminder of their sins.
The local villages believe this legend because found many Amerindian artifacts and a skull that have been discovered and preserved, in the pitch.

Collaboration systems using operational transformations typically use replicated document storage where each user has their own copy of the document.
Users operate on their own local copies.
Their changes are then pushed to the rest of the users.
When a user receives the changes pushed from another user, they typically transform the changes before executing them.
Operational transformation can be shown by using the example of a text editing scenario.
Given a text document with a string "abc" replicated at two collaborating sites; and two concurrent operations:
O1 = Insert[0, "x"] (to insert character "x" at position "0")
O2 = Delete[2, "c"] (to delete the character "c" at position "2")
generated by two users at sites one and two, suppose the two operations are executed in the order of O1 and O2 (at site one).
After executing O1, the document becomes "xabc".
To execute O2 after O1, O2 must be transformed against O1 to become: O2' = Delete[3, "c"], whose position variable is incremented by one due to the insertion of one character "x" by O1.
Executing O2' on "xabc" deletes the correct character "c" and the document becomes "xab".
However, if O2 is executed without transformation, it incorrectly deletes character "b" rather than "c".

On April 21, 2021, Andrew Brown Jr., a 42-year-old African American man, was shot dead in the back of the head by a deputy sheriff in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
Seven officers were placed on leave as a result of the shooting.
Brown died one day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of the death of George Floyd, and his death happened near the time of other notable police killings including the deaths of Daunte Wright, Ma'Khia Bryant, and Adam Toledo in the United States.
Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten II said that "deputies from his department including a tactical team were attempting to perform search and arrest warrants on illegal distribution of cocaine, methamphetamine, crack cocaine and heroin when Brown was shot."
Brown's death certificate states that Brown died from being shot in the head.
Seven sheriff's deputies were placed on administrative leave as a result of the shooting.
Within a week of the killing, two other deputies resigned and one other deputy retired; this was not related to the killing, stated a member of the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office.
Elizabeth City declared a state of emergency in preparation of the release of the body cam footage to the public.
Pasquotank County Attorney Michael Cox said faces in the video were being blurred.
On the sixth day of marches in the city, protesters shut down the bridge over the Pasquotank River between Elizabeth City and Camden County.
An hour later, the bridge was reopened to traffic.
Elizabeth City mayor, Bettie Parker, declared a state of emergency before the full release of the body cam footage that led up to the shooting.
On April 26, Brown's family and their lawyers were allowed by Pasquotank County to watch a short bodycam video of the shooting.
Family lawyer Chantel Cherry-Lassiter said that the video of 20 seconds showed the deputies shooting at Brown when he sat in his vehicle with his hands on the steering wheel.
Cherry-Lassiter said Brown then drove away, while the deputies continued shooting at him, with Brown ultimately crashing the vehicle into a nearby tree.
Cherry-Lassiter also said the deputies continued shooting after the crash.
The FBI announced on April 27 that it would be launching a civil rights probe into Brown's death.
An agency spokesman stated, "Agents will work closely with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice to determine whether federal laws were violated."
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated "Obviously, the loss of life is a tragedy and obviously we're thinking of the family members and the community" and that President Biden was aware of the situation.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, as well as the family of Brown, immediately called for the bodycam footage to be released.
People protested an emergency meeting of the Elizabeth City council with signs reading Black Lives Matter and Stop killing unarmed Black Men.
On Twitter, North Carolina governor Roy Cooper wrote, "Initial reports of the shooting in Elizabeth City and death of Andrew Brown, Jr. this week are tragic and extremely concerning.
The body camera footage should be made public as quickly as possible and the SBI should investigate thoroughly to ensure accountability."

Kalinga was a kingdom in what is now the country of India.
It included a large part of Odisha, northern Andhra Pradesh and a small part of Chhattisgarh.
It was an independent kingdom.
Kalinga fought against the Maurya Empire in 261 BC.
The Maurya Empire was led by Ashoka.
The effects of the war were described by Ashoka in Major Rock Edict 13.
About 150,000 people were killed during this war.
Kalinga was an important port for trade because it was easy to reach Southeast Asia from there.
Kalinga again became an independent state after the death of Ashoka.
In Sangam literature, it is mentioned that Kharvela of Kalinga tried to invade north India against Pushyamitra, the founder of the Sunga Dynasty, but there is no clear evidence of that.
The Sunga Dynasty was founded just after the Mauryan.

He is the current Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore since 11 September 2017.

The self-governance of Singapore happened in several stages.
Since 1819 up to 1959, Singapore had been under the colonial rule of the United Kingdom.
The first local elections on a limited scale for several positions in the government of Singapore started in 1948 following a change to the Constitution of Singapore.
This was further changed with the Rendel Constitution, strengthening local representation.
Singapore was granted full internal self-government in 1959, but the colonial administration still controlled external relations and shared control of several key internal policies such as internal security.
In 1963, Singapore joined Malaysia, ending colonial rule and becoming an autonomous state within the country.
After a fallout in the relations between the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and the People's Action Party (PAP), the ruling parties of the Federation and Singapore at the time, full independence came about with Malaysia forcing Singapore to leave in 1965.
The Malaysia Agreement or the Agreement relating to Malaysia between United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Federation of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore was the agreement which combined what is today Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore with the existing states of the Federation of Malaya, now known as Malaysia.
Singapore was later expelled from Malaysia, becoming its own country 9 August 1965.
