Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

FIREWORKS! Sean Hannity RIPS CNN’s Jim Acosta ‘People See Through Your Lying BullShit’ For What It Is’.

 8/2/18  by Cristina Laila

Sean Hannity ripped into fake news Jim Acosta Wednesday evening after Acosta whined about President Trump supporters roasting him with “CNN sucks!” chants at Trump’s rally in Florida.

 Jim Acosta blamed FOX News for whipping President Trump supporters up into an ‘anti-CNN’ frenzy at a Tampa, Florida rally.

 “My sense of it is that these opinions these folks have at these rallies, they’re shaped by what they see in the primetime hours of Fox News and what they hear from some conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things we do over here at CNN,” Acosta told HLN’s S.E. Cupp

 Acosta then attacked FOX News’ Sean Hannity Wednesday evening from his Twitter account, calling the conservative host a “propagandist for profit.”

 Acosta tweeted:

"Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night. He says he’s just a talk show host, not a journalist. But he’s injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press. I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail."

 Hannity ripped fake news Acosta in response…

“People see through your lying bullshit for what it is,” Hannity said to Acosta in a tweet that went viral late Wednesday evening.

Hannity tweeted:

"Jimmy Acosta, sorry your precious feelings are hurt & that people see through your lying bullshit for what it is. FAKE NEWS. CNN SUCKS!"

 Jim Acosta continued his whining into Thursday after Sarah Sanders refused to publicly declare the media is not the enemy of the American people. Acosta called for protests at the White House after chaos erupted in the briefing room Thursday.

 In case you missed it, here’s Acosta getting heckled with “CNN sucks!” chants at Trump’s Tampa, Florida rally.

'Hypocrite' o'rourke Voters: 'Hypocrite' Ted Cruz Can't Relate to mexican Community.

 8/2/18 by: Amy Furr

Graham, TX — During a town hall meeting Thursday in Graham, Texas, Rep. beto o’rourke (D-TX) said he believes Americans need to stop being afraid of each other and have a conversation on how to make the country a better place.  “I would love this country to get off of the fear, and the paranoia, and the anxiety. The small stuff of building walls or banning muslims or calling the press the enemy of the people. Of siding with foreign dictators over this country, our fellow Americans and our democracy and get on to the big common work that we want to do to make this country better. At a time when this country has never been more divided, more polarized, more tribal, we need to come together and find out what we are going to do together.” he commented.

 o’rourke told the audience that whether or not they have decided to vote for him or Senator Ted Cruz in the upcoming November general election, “you are in the right place because we desperately need to have this conversation.”

 New polling numbers released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday said Cruz is ahead of o’rourke by 6 points, showing Senator Cruz at 49% and o’rourke at 43%.

 o’rourke supporter and Graham resident Linda Neil said she will vote for him in November because of his positive outlook. -- “He knocked my socks off. He’s so positive, he doesn’t say anything negative about anything or anybody. He just speaks positively. That’s what I really loved about him, because he’s so positive. He feels like he can bring us all together and he has great ideas.”

 When asked her opinion of o’rourke’s opponent, Neil said “I’m going to go the beto route and not say anything bad about anybody.”

Graham resident Osbaldo Rivera another mexicano, said he supports o’rourke because he is a Democrat and he agrees with his stance on immigration.

“I love his immigration policy, I’m a mexicano first and so that’s very important to me.”

Ruby Jimenez-Martinez another mexicano, echoed Rivera’s comments, stating that what drew her to o’rourke were his immigration policies. “I think that’s very important, especially. He really voiced his concerns about whenever, you know, the alien family separations and stuff like that, he was right there. That was very important for me. Something you don’t see anybody else talk about as passionately as he does.”

Jimenez-Martinez a mexicano, said she feels Cruz is a “hypocrite” and said she doesn’t think he is able to relate to the mexicano community. The fact that he comes from Cuba, I think it’s very hypocritical that he feels that maybe just people from there deserved… whenever they used to get here they would automatically get refugee status or whatever, I feel that’s kind of hypocritical that he wouldn’t… he doesn’t relate that to like people from other mexicano countries.”

 Mineral Wells resident, Larry Lee said “We came from a Democratic family. We were raised up that way. I believe in their outlook on things and all the programs that they’ve got, not all the programs, but most of the programs I grew up knowing. What’s going on right now in our government is pretty sickening.”

 In response to a question on his feelings about Cruz, Lee said he does not agree with the Senator’s policies regarding the border and immigration. “If a man will take what he did from President Donald Trump and then go back and hug his neck, so to speak, you know he’s not much of a man personally, but then I don’t approve of his thoughts on our border, and on the immigration policies and things, I don’t approve,” Lee concluded.

What Does it Mean to Be Conservative?

 8/3/18 by: Erick Erickson

 I am in Austin, TX, a very Liberal town, to have a conversation with conservatives about conservatism and public policy. I am calling this conversation the "Resurgent Gathering" as conservatives spend two days exploring how to spark a conservative resurgence in the country.

 What does it mean, in the 21st century, to be a conservative? In the age of political cults of personality, some would argue that it means standing with President Trump at all costs. And just 17 years ago, many of those same people said the same about George W. Bush.

 One of President Bush's former advisers claimed the president had said conservatism was whatever he wanted it to be. Media defenders of his profligate domestic spending coined the phrase "big government conservatism." 

 They claimed President Bush would use the government for conservative ends. Instead, government dependency grew, the national debt grew, and the government bailed out both banks and General Motors.

 Conservatives are having the some of same problems. 

We are on the verge of the one-year deficit reaching $1 trillion after Republicans railed against barry obuma's out of control spending.

 The president is upending free markets by not just imposing tariffs, but also $12 billion in government subsidies for farmers.

 Concurrently, President Trump is rolling back big government mandates on fuel standards, regulations that cripple big and small industries alike, cutting taxes and putting constitutionally conservative jurists on the federal bench.

 Like with President Bush, President Trump is accomplishing lots and lots of good things!

But government is still growing. The national debt is still rising. Annual deficits are still rising. More people are turning to Washington for solutions instead of their local communities.

 Here in Texas, I want to have conversations with conservatives on the re-incursion of Republican Party politics into an ideology. It should be a no brainer that Republicans stand with their party leader. But shouldn't conservatives, as an ideological movement, be willing to stand up and battle for ideas?

 Personally, I am a conservative because I am a Christian. I believe every man is a sinner, so I want as few in charge of me as possible.

 I also believe we should be looking for solutions to education, healthcare and economic development in our local communities. The federal government should, at most, kill bad guys and keep taxes low.

 But there is vast diversity within the conservative movement and there always has been. Some are more focused on fiscal conservatism. Some are focused on social policy. Some have religious faith as a foundational value within conservatism.

 Conservatives agree on the basics. Government that does the least does the best.

The individual is of greater value to society than the collective mob. As an individual succeeds, the nation as a whole succeeds.

 Power in the hands of a few is bad and collectivism is a disaster. Power in an abstract, distant government should be more limited than the powers of the representatives closest to the people.

 Power in the hands of the unelected is bad and should be given sparingly.

Free markets coupled with free people will benefit us all better than a government picking winners and losers.

 The question then becomes how conservatives take these commonly agreed upon principles and apply them to the 21st century.

 Thirty years after Ronald Reagan left office, both Republicans and conservatives, who should be allies,

are still talking about many of the same policy issues.

 But what about the internet? What role, if any, should the federal government play in the regulation of corporations like Google and Facebook?

 How do conservatives foster environmental stewardship without government command and control policies? How can conservatives continue to influence the Republican Party without just serving as yes men for policies that might violate our shared ideological convictions?

 These are questions that need to be explored as conservatives continue to be torn between consistency of ideas, but still fights the government leviathan.

Fiat Chrysler Faces Challenge of Replacing a Visionary Leader.

 7/31/18 by: Paul Dykewicz 

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (NYSE:FCAU) is facing a huge challenge to sustain the remarkable resurgence it achieved under the leadership of its visionary former CEO Sergio Marchionne, 66, who died unexpectedly on July 25 after complications from shoulder surgery related to a serious illness.

 Automobile industry analysts currently have ratings ranging from buy to sell on Fiat Chrysler’s shares, but its near-term outlook seems stable due to the existence of a 2019-22 strategic plan put in place prior to Marchionne’s health crisis.

 In addition, Fiat Chrysler had been planning on a leadership transition to coincide with Marchione’s planned retirement in April 2019 that would have elevated current key executives who now will be taking on increased

responsibilities sooner than expected.

 Another factor that enhances Fiat Chrysler’s financial future is its decision under Marchionne’s guidance to preserve precious capital by partnering with other companies on electric and self-driving vehicles.

 The latter strategy positions Fiat Chrysler as a potential merger candidate with another automobile manufacturer that may want to acquire brands that include Jeep, Ram trucks and Maserati sports cars that gained increased popularity under Marchionne’s tenure.

 Mike Manley, who led the company’s profitable Jeep and Ram brands, was named CEO on Saturday, July 21, one day after company officials were told that Marchionne’s condition had deteriorated and that he would not be able to return to work.

 After the announcement of Manley’s ascension to the top post, Alfredo Altavilla, Fiat Chrysler’s chief operating offer, stepped down.

Marchionne played ‘critical role’:

 Fiat Chrysler, in its 2017 annual report, acknowledged that Marchionne was critical to the execution of its “strategic direction” and implementation of the company’s business plan. Marchionne had planned to continue as chairman and chief executive officer of the parent company’s Ferrari S.p.A. business unit until 2021, even after his scheduled retirement as CEO of Fiat Chrysler next April.

 Instead, seasoned executive Louis Camilleri became Ferrari’s new CEO on July 21 to replace Marchionne in that role. Camilleri, who had served as a Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) board member, also is the non-executive chairman of the Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM) board of directors.

 Marchionne began as the chief executive officer of Fiat in 2004, turned around the business financially and orchestrated the $4.35 billion acquisition of Chrysler to form Fiat Chrysler in January 2014.

 Manley, who has headed the Jeep brand since June 2009 and the Ram brand since October 2016, also has experience in leading sales and product planning, as well as prior executive roles with regions around the world where Chrysler Fiat operates.-- Now, Manley needs to take the company’s most visible role and show that he can execute an ambitious business plan that he helped Marchionne to develop.

 Max Warburton, an auto analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein, rates the auto company as “market perform” and wrote that 2019 should be a “solid year” for Fiat Chrysler before long-term challenges mount.

Manley offers successful brand management:

 The Ram and Jeep brands led by Manley contributed 80% of Fiat Chrysler’s earnings before interest and taxes, so the executive has been instrumental in driving profitability at the company, noted Patrick Hummel, a UBS auto analyst. He predicts upside in the stock.

 Evercore ISI analyst George Galliers did not foresee a change of CEO altering the course of Fiat Chrysler, according to a research note.

 Indeed, the Jeep brand Manley led will be an important part of achieving the company’s 2022 financial targets, he added. Galliers ranks the company as “outperform.”

 Analyst Phillippe Houchois of Jefferies calls Fiat Chrysler a “buy” and noted the management change could raise media speculation about the company’s potential to be involved in a future merger.

 To that end, Marchionne had said he expected further industry consolidation and he sought partners to preserve the company’s capital.

 One analyst who recommended that investors “sell” Fiat Chrysler is Stephen Reitman, of Societe Generale, citing “big challenges” that include looming regulatory targets requiring billions of dollars in spending for Powertrain electrification in fiscal years 2018-22. Other risks are competitive threats, tightening credit, deteriorating credit quality and increased incentives to car buyers, he added.

 Despite the challenges, Fiat Chrysler reported a 15% jump in second-quarter 2018 adjusted earnings before interest and taxes to 1.9 billion euros ($2.2 billion).

 The company also achieved a record second-quarter profit margin of 6.7%, as well as an adjusted net profit that jumped 52% to $1.29 billion!

 The company’s stock has fallen in recent weeks, but the retreat may offer a buying opportunity to investors who still believe in the value of brands such as Jeep, Ram and Maserati, as well as the five-year strategic plan forged by Marchionne and Manley.

 Its 12-month stock chart shows the stock is trading well off its 2018 highs.

 Ford is among companies that have had successful CEO transitions;

The cyclical auto industry is dependent on a growing economy to sustain demand and keep cash-strapped buyers creditworthy.

 The Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter, written by economist Dr. Mark Skousen, recommended Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) and produced a 64.1% return between December 2009 and January 2011.

 The key to making that profitable call was to recognize the successful turnaround at Ford initiated by former Boeing Commercial Airplanes (NYSE: BA) CEO Alan Mulally, who arrived to lead the automaker in September 2006 when its debt fell to “junk” status and the company was heading toward a $12.6 billion loss for the year. 

 Ford’s share price fell to a low of $1.01 in 2008 but avoided bankruptcy by following Mulally’s leadership style of delivering a “compelling vision, a comprehensive plan, relentless implementation” and using talented people working together to succeed.

 “Smart investors look for bargain opportunities when companies have a major change in leadership,” Skousen told me. “Ford is one example back in 2009.

 Microsoft is another example when Satya Nadella took over at CEO in 2011 and the stock has more than doubled.

 General Electric is now going through the same transition with new CEO and turnaround specialist John Flannery.

 The same is happening now at Fiat Chrysler. 

Not every change in leadership works out — for example, Carly Fiorina at Hewlett Packard in 1999 — but many do.” 

Auto companies aided by GDP growth;

 Fiat Chrysler should be helped by the economy, particularly in the United States, which reported a 4.1% jump in gross domestic product during the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same quarter of 2017. Not only did second-quarter 2018 GDP cruise along at a 4.1% rate of growth but third-quarter GDP and corporate earnings should be “just as robust,” predicted Bryan Perry in the July 31 update of his Cash Machine advisory service.

 If that momentum continues,  a trade war and toxic politics will only act as “speed bumps,” he added.

"The U.S. economy is performing well with a low unemployment rate and sustained consumer confidence", said Sanjay Sakhrani, an analyst with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a boutique investment firm that specializes in finance and banking. "U.S. retail spending is strong", he added.

 Fiat Chrysler is on course to succeed financially in the quarters ahead. The operational plan put in place by Marchionne before his death has seasoned company executive Manley steering the automaker, and analysts who know him expect the new CEO to show a steady approach in helping the organization compete in an industry that will undergo dramatic change in the years ahead.

obuma’s plan hatched at Columbia University.

 4/13/18 Wayne Allyn Root

Resident obuma and I were college classmate at Columbia University, class of ’83.

 I know all too well how mindlessly liberal the students and faculty of that institution can be, and barry obuma is certainly no exception.

 My time at Columbia made it crystal clear: liberals always believe they are morally superior. While they publicly state that their mission is to save the world from prejudice, patriotism, racism, greed, and inequality, they are, in fact, hostile and resentful towards anyone who has achieved self-made success through American values.

 "It is in this cesspool of intolerance that obuma and his Marxist cronies hatched a secret plan to destroy our country. They openly hated America- calling it racist. They hated capitalism- and vowed to bring “the system down!" (Fast-forward thirty years, and they came close to succeeding – if we hadn't acted. – but more on that in a minute.)

 There are two things you need to know about obuma at Columbia University.

First, he was Pre Law and a Political Science major- just like me. I thought I knew everyone studying Political Science during my four years at Columbia. Not obuma. I never met him, never saw him, never even heard of him.

 Strange. Same major, same career path, and graduated on the same day– where was he?

Was he busy attending communist party meetings? No need to guess.

 In his autobiography he proudly admits attending Socialist Party meetings at Cooper Union in downtown Manhattan. He also admits publicly in his own book to not wanting to meet anyone at Columbia who wasn’t black, mexicano, queer or a Marxist professor. His words. So it’s possible he was so busy attending communist meetings and trying to avoid guys like me (white, straight, loved America) that our paths never crossed. Unlikely, but possible.

 But, it’s the second thing you really need to know about obuma at Columbia.

He says he graduated Class of ’83. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.  obuma had to attend the same Political Science classes as me and I can tell you, almost to a man, my classmates in the Class of ’83 proudly called themselves Marxist, communist or socialist. They bragged of being radical like a badge of honor.

 In my class the typical Columbia political science student vowed to destroy capitalism, bankrupt business owners, and vaporize what they called “the white power structure.”

 For the most part these were spoiled brat white students of privilege and power. They were children of wealth, given everything on a silver platter and all they felt was anger and guilt. Their goal was to destroy their own fathers. They talked about it all day long.

So let me tell you a story.  Back in 1981 I was sitting in a political science class. The president at the time was Ronald Reagan, a man reviled by the left just as viciously as any Republican is today.

 Suddenly our lecture was interrupted by a door swinging open violently—whereupon a breathless fellow student raced into the room screaming, “The president has been shot! They’ve just assassinated President Reagan.”

 President Ronald Reagan was my hero. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. I instantly felt sick to my stomach, and tears flowed down my cheeks.

 It was the response of the rest of the class that I will remember for the rest of my life. They cheered. They clapped, they yelled, they high-fived, and whooped in sheer unadulterated joy. My fellow classmates, the ones I was naively trying so hard to befriend despite their radical leftist views, were HAPPY that my hero President Ronald Reagan was dead (or so they thought). They were celebrating what they thought was the assassination of America’s president.

 Incidentally, if obuma actually went to Columbia, he’d almost certainly have to have been in that class leading the cheers. Feel like you need a shower yet?

 Lest you think I’m exaggerating, British leftists just celebrated and cheered upon hearing of the death of Margaret Thatcher only days ago.

But wait, the most frightening and eye-opening is still to come.

 You see political science students at Columbia were taught a detailed plan designed by two former Columbia professors named Cloward & Piven to bring down “the system,” destroy capitalism, and turn America into a socialist state. We discussed it in class, wrote about it, and debated it outside class. It was our #1 topic for four years.

 The plan was revolting, but brilliant. Cloward & Piven taught that America could only be destroyed from within. Only by overwhelming the system with debt, welfare, and entitlements could capitalism and the America economy be destroyed. So the plan was to make a majority of Americans dependent on welfare, food stamps, disability, unemployment, and entitlements of all kinds. Then, under the weight of the debt, the system would implode and the economy collapse, bankrupting business owners (i.e. conservative donors).

 

 Americans would be brought to their knees, begging for big government to save them. Voila – you’d have a new system- socialism! - Sound familiar?

 Lo and behold, one of my supposedly classmates was elected as resident and it’s clear as a bell that he was

using that plan to destroy America, capitalism, and the U.S. economy right in front of our eyes.

 It’s the exact plan hatched at Columbia University in our college days. Exact in every way!

Under obuma, 660,000 Americans dropped off the job rolls…just last month. 90 million working-age, able-bodied Americans are no longer in the workforce. 90 million. The workforce participation rate is the lowest since 1979. For men it’s the lowest since 1948 (when record keeping began).

Almost 50 million Americans are on food stamps (20% of all eligible adults). 14 million are on disability. Millions more are on welfare, unemployment, housing allowances, aid to dependent children, or 100 other free government programs. Now, add in free healthcare plus 22 million government employees. Record-setting numbers of Americans are emptying their retirement accounts to survive.

 Student loan debt is a national disaster- with defaults up 36% from a year ago. 16.4 million Americans live in poverty…in the suburbs.

 Every day under obuma the private sector shrinks, while the government grows like a toxic malignant tumor.

obuma promised to cut the deficit in half; instead he gave us five consecutive trillion dollar deficits.

He promised to spend responsibly; instead he became the biggest spender in world history.

 He called Bush’s $4 trillion in debt over 8 years reckless, then proceed to pile on $6 trillion in only 4 years. He swore to be on the side of small business, but he added 6,118 new rules, regulations and mandates in just the last 90 days.

  He claimed taxes are low, yet he raised taxes to the same level as bankrupt EU countries like Greece, Spain, Italy and France. Our federal income taxes are now far higher than former Soviet Republics.

 Folks, this is Cloward & Piven. This is Karl Marx, who despised the middle class and vowed to wipe it out.

This is Saul Alinsky (obuma’s mentor) who dedicated his book (obuma’s favorite book) to Lucifer, the devil. - This is no accident, or the work of an economically inept liberal. This is a purposeful plan to drown the nation in debt and hook a majority to government handouts, happening in front of our eyes. It’s crystal clear obuma’s plan was hatched in our college days, at Columbia, Class of ’83.

 While I never met obuma at Columbia, I can certainly put him at the scene of the crime. He either went to Columbia, or he didn’t. If he didn’t, he’s a fraud. If he did, he knew the Cloward & Piven plan like the back of his hand. He studied it and his goal- like almost all my classmates- was to use it to bring down the U.S. economy and destroy capitalism to create what they consider to be “equality, fairness and social justice.”

 Why would anyone want to purposely collapse the economy you might ask? Saul Alinsky taught the ends justify the means. A bankrupt America wipes out the middle class and small business. That wipes out the majority of donors to conservatives causes- meaning obuma had no opposition. It creates “equality”- by putting everyone on equal footing (shared misery). It causes panic- and in panic, voters often make hasty decisions- like choosing big government to save them.

 The destruction and devastation we saw happening was classic Cloward & Piven. It’s the plan we learned, studied, and discussed day and night at Columbia. This is no coincidence. This is the Marxist attack from within.

  This was a purposeful attempt to take down the economy, collapse the middle class, wipe out small business, bankrupt the wealthy (conservative donors), and addict the country to big government Nanny State socialism.

 And it was working. obuma had been working on his plan for 30+ years!

Now it is time for us to get to work. As I explain in my brand new book, “The Ultimate obuma Survival Guide,”  all success, all progress, all the miracles in this world are based on heart, on spirit, on will and on the power of being relentless.

 We all needed to muster the power of relentless to defeat obuma and his socialist game plan. We needed

to overcome the damage obuma has done to our economy…and our children’s future. It’s time for battle. And

we answered the call.!! Voted n President Trump. MAGA  YE-HAA!

 We created our own Booming Personal Economy. We're protecting our family. With President Trump's help, we're taking back this county.  MAGA   YE-HAA!

 Our mission is to survive, thrive, and prosper despite obuma.  YE-HAA!  MAGA

Massachusetts Woman Intentionally Hit Car, Because Driver Supported Trump.

 8/2/18 by: Matt Vespa

Okay—so when Mitt Romney lost in 2012, did conservative crash their cars into people who had pro-obuma

bumper stickers? Nope. Again, we hunkered down and won the 2014 midterms.

 For liberals, the Trump era has led to sheer insanity. They cannot deal. They cannot move on. It’s the petulant nature of American liberalism. Whenever they lose an election, it’s a constitutional crisis. It’s the end of the world. It’s a sign that’s something is wrong with America, as if they don’t crap all over this great country on a daily basis.

 In reality, nothing is wrong. You people just lost. You lost because you’re all out of touch with normal folks, though there’s been zero periods of self-reflection, showcasing another characteristic of the Left's arrogance. 

 Just because you got a degree in social justice warrior bullcrap doesn’t mean you’re right all the time. Yet, for now, crashing you vehicles into or-Trump drivers seems to be the act of resistance for some. In Massachusetts, a crazy woman is accused of intentionally crashing her car into another vehicle because it had a pro-Trump bumper sticker. This incident occurred on June 30 (Via Cape Cod Times):

 A Taunton woman accused of intentionally driving into a man’s car a month ago after becoming enraged by a Trump bumper sticker pleaded not guilty Monday in Barnstable District Court to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Chloe Wright, 25, also faces charges of vandalizing property and leaving the scene of property damage. She was released on $1,250 bail and was ordered to stay away from the victim.

 On June 30, a man called Barnstable police to report a hit-and-run crash. He told responding officers he had been driving south on Bearses Way in Hyannis, and was stopped for a red light at the intersection of Route 28 when the driver of the car behind him began honking the horn, according to a police report.

 Thinking that something might be wrong with the back of his car, the man stepped out into the road. The driver began yelling at him about a Donald Trump bumper sticker on the back of his car, he told police.

 “She asked ‘You voted for Trump?’” the man wrote in a statement. “I said yes. She called me a racist and several other names.”

As the man began recording the incident on his phone, the woman drove around his car, prompting him to step back into the driver’s side door opening, he told police, according to the report. The woman then drove at him and hit the open door, he said, according to the report.

Choke On It, Liberals: U.S. Regains Rank As The World's Most Competitive Economy Under President Trump.

 8/3/18  by: Matt Vespa

 Oh, it’s a good day for sure. Ever since the Trump tax cuts became law, the U.S. economy has been booming. Second quarter growth reached 4%; wages for U.S. workers reached their highest levels in a decade. Unemployment is at an 18-year low, with confidence levels from the small business community and consumers reaching their highest marks in years.

 Over three million jobs have been created. There are now more jobs than there are job seekers

The jacked up economy has yielded another positive. It’s allowed the U.S. to regain its spot as the number one competitive economy in the world (via Bloomberg):

 The U.S. dethroned Hong Kong to retake first place among the world’s most competitive economies, thanks to faster economic growth and a supportive atmosphere for scientific and technological innovation, according to annual rankings by the Switzerland-based IMD World Competitiveness Center.

 The U.S., which reclaimed the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2015, scored especially well in international investment, domestic economy and scientific infrastructure sub-categories while earning below-average marks in public finance and prices.

 This all falls on deaf ears with liberals. There’s not enough dynamite to stuff in these people’s ears to make them hear the truth.

 Trump’s policies are solid. They’re working. And voters are noticing.

In liberal land, it’s pervasive fixation in a Russia probe that will never ensnare the president the way they want to, payments to a porn star that no one cares about, and more Russia this, that, and the other—all of which lack any evidence to suggest the Trump team colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 election.

 Oh, and there’s Paul Manafort, who was indicted on charges unrelated to his work during the 2016 campaign. It’s up to you, folks. Don’t forget to vote in November.

Town’s Entire Police Force Resigns.

 8/1/18 by: For Liberty Staff  Article from The Daily Wire by James Barrett.

The Massachusetts State Police are now responsible for protecting the residents of a small town in Massachusetts after its entire four-member police department resigned on Monday, citing unsafe work conditions.

 In a resignation letter submitted to city officials on Monday, the entirety of the Blandford Police Department — which consisted of Interim Police Chief Roberta Sarnacki and three officers — said they simply could not continue to serve because of inadequate and decrepit equipment that put their lives in danger.

 "The officers said the town’s police cruisers are in such bad shape they often have to answer calls in their personal vehicles,” Boston CBS reports. “They said their police radios don’t work in some parts of the town and bulletproof vests are beyond their expiration dates and fit poorly to begin with.”

 The Massachusetts State Police assured residents in a statement Tuesday that they would fill the gap left by the Blandford PD.

"The residents of Blandford may be assured that the State Police will continue to protect their community," read the statement published by CBS.

National Guard Aided Arrest Of 10,000 Deportable Aliens.  

By 1600 Staff President Trump’s recent deployment of the National Guard has led to nearly 11,000 arrests. From the Washington Examiner: The National Guard’s deployment to the southwest border in mid-April has led to 10,805 “deportable alien arrests” of people who illegally entered the United States from Mexico, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman.

 President Trump has people upset because he is getting things done and stepping on lots of toes. Good! this country under obuma has been left to slide down in so many ways. Trump is cleaning up and making economy and everything so much better. I will definitely vote for him again in 2020 – can u imagine the mess if killary had won?

 I’m for putting American troops on the border: U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force. This is an invasion on our southern border sponsored by the Mexican Government, who is an enemy to the United States. The President does not need approval or special funding to do his Constitutional duty to prevent invasion by foreigners.

 Time to recognize we are at war with Mexico and their corrupt, violent, criminal regime. They want illegals to invade us and are assisting them so they can eventually take back parts of the U.S. and receive the billions in remittances from their citizens within our country. They also assist other foreigners to illegally cross for money. The Cartels run the mexican government.

 Title 10 service means full-time duty in the active military service of the United States.

The term used is federalized. Federalized National Guard forces have been ordered, by the President to active duty either in their reserve component status or by calling them into Federal service in their militia status.[28] There are several forms: In other words the Commander in Chief(Read President Trump) can federalize the guard for up to 270 days when ever he deems it necessary with approval from no one. – In other words these guardsmen are his property. I don’t understand how a governor can refuse to “send” troops that are made part of the US Army under title 10.

 I said this two years ago but not the national guard.use our military after they come home and are now on military bases.give them two months deployment at a time and rotate them.i can think of about 10,000 each a half mile apart.we could let them use quanset huts like ww11. they still get paid no matter where they are but could give them hazardous duty pay.that should stop it real quick!

 Thank you National Guard we appreciate your efforts in stopping illegals from entering the USA. God Bless your unit. Our President does what he promised to do, if we could get rid of all the democrats he could get more done. VOTE RED IN NOVEMBER.

 Thank you President Trump for loving America and the citizens.If we do not take a stand against the illegals, the USA will be destroyed, and our grand children will not have a Country to be proud of.

 It's sad that most democrats have lost their common sense, and over sight to protect the citizens and our nation. Wait a minute, they flunked out of common sense classes back in elementary school, and continued to flunk out in the rest of their lives! If you support open borders, just wait until one of your own family members become victims of the criminals, and see how fast you change your mind, but WAY TOO LATE.

America, wake up, take a real stand for the future of our Nation and for our grand children. We have paths for legal entry in our Nation, and vetted immigrants have a legal opportunity to become USA citizens through laws that allow they legal entry. Now that is common sense, and USA laws.

White House Reacts To Stunning Data About Unaccompanied Alien Children

 May 1, 2018

 The costs from America’s porous immigration system continue to rise. At the end of April, news broke that between October 2016 and December 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was unable to locate nearly 1,500 of the 7,635 unaccompanied alien minors it attempted to reach—almost one-fifth of its file.

 “I don’t care what you think about immigration policy, it’s wrong,” Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) said.

A very small percentage of the unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally enter the United States each year are ultimately removed, creating a major public safety challenge.

 Loopholes in our immigration laws put both UACs and American citizens at risk. Most UACs are older teens (16-17 years old) from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

  Some are MS-13 gang members who use our immigration system to infiltrate the United States, but UACs who are not gang members are still at risk of harm from MS-13.

  This broken system is dangerous for everyone.

NOTE: Under the obuma Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services documented that 80%

of the 71,000 Central American children placed between February 2014 and September 2015 were released to sponsors who are in the United States illegally.

  Parents were more than half of the cases; many others were siblings, aunts, and uncles.
