Trump praises Putin over response to US sanctions, calls him 'very smart'

Published December 30, 2016  FoxNews.com

Of course Putin is very smart  He knows that Donnie owes him one for the Russian’s election efforts and, even if Mr Trump does not stay bought, Putin  knows that Donnie does not care if the Russian military attacks and undermines ANY American institution that does not affect the Trumps directly. 

Trump and many of his supporters will not care if Russia tries to bring down American churches or charities (as long as they are not Mr Trump’s own churches or charities), because these are private entities and it is up to them to protect their servers and their data, so  such attacks could never be considered an act of war.   Any attacks by Russian military cyber teams on the NFL or NBA, on CBS or FOX would be similarly sluffed off on the grounds that they are private entities.

They will even  happily turn a blind eye to the hacking and damaging of foreign entities on our soil, such as Barclays Bank or  Shell Oil, the Japanese or Australian governments,  NATO,  the UN or the IMF – unless Trump is trying to do a deal with one of them at the time.      He and his supporters will reason that these entities were not simply  spending enough on defense.

Theresa May Slaps Down US Over IsraelShe should slap down the US - they went and iterated publicly the UK (and Tory) policy on settlements.  No one hates it more than Britain when others stand up for things Brtttons say they believe in or suggests that Britain puts its money where its mouth is. Think Ukraine and the UK's guarantee of their borders.
     PS: Britain voted AGAINST Israel for the proposal on which the US abstained from voting.  
            In May's mind that makes the US more anti-Israel than Britain.

The Berlin Attack Has Sealed The Political Fate Of Europe

Sadly correct, but wrong at base. It WILL change politics but changing politics will do nothing to stop terrrorism. No group can defend itself from individuals who wish to kill; especially those who are willing to trade their lives for mayhem.
When it come to jihadi terrorists, there is very little non-Muslims can do. The ONLY people who can stop this psuedo-Islamic terrorism is the Ummah - Muslims rooting out this cancer on Islam: the pseudo-religious moharebbeh of Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban and the rest. Just as in Northern Ireland , the only people who could stop the Catholic terrorists were Catholics and the only people who could stop the Protestant terrorists were Protestants.
Government and politics are powerless in the face of perverters of religion. That will not stop them from tightening the police state. since politicians and bureaucrats take advantage of any opportunity to increase their power.
But, no matter how big-brother they get, they cannot stop a determined killer.

Bombshell Secret CIA Report Says Russia Aimed To Steal White House For Trump

Interesting wrinkle: if the Donald doesn't want something to be true, the he simply refuses to believe it and attacks the source.  

It is a very modern reaction: it is what the authors and audiences of FOX and Huffpo do, but it's a scary inkling of how intelligence reports will be dealt with in future.    

    No wonder Trump does not take daily intelligence briefings.

2016 PERSON OF THE YEAR DONALD TRUMP

Perhaps it is time for Democrats to relax about Trump, as he seems to want the same things they do:

“And yet I represent the workers of the world.”

He wants to follow Obama in using government action to create new jobs and reduce unemployment, while Carrier shows he is willing to use tax dollars to buy jobs

“Well, sometimes you have to prime the pump...” 

Another borrow-and-spend Republican who will continue the Democrat's stimulus line of the past 8 years.  Question is: will Ryan and McConnell fall in line and drop their opposition to more debt and bigger deficits?

The top priority he listed for voters was “protecting American jobs here at home.”

 And he wants to do this by giving Trade Unions the protective tariffs they have been whining for these past 65 years and by having big Washington government interfere in the decisions of private businesses.  Can he reverse Republican support for free trade?

"I’m going to bring down drug prices..."

Will he do it by allowing Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate drug prices?  If so, their solvency is guaranteed for another two decades.  But can he overcome Republican opposition to the free market in health care, when big Pharma gives so much in campaign funds?

Finally, he express support for letting Dreamers stay,
Perhaps it is time for Democrats to get behind Trump and help him push through your agenda.

As for Republicans, what can I say?  Perhaps Hillary was more like you than Donald is.

Is the USA a Democracy?

We are not a democracy at all.

3) It's what Republicans call "Phew, and a good thing, too."

4) It's what Independents call "WTF?"

Journalists Are Enabling A Smear Campaign Against Keith Ellison

The ADL's action and the press reaction seem to confirm what Mr Ellison said about outsized influence.

Subject: Re: How will Obama be remembered?

Yes, Michael, I already said that you are probably correct.

America today (whether left or right, progressive or reactionary) disagrees with any fact that does not support their pre-conceived notions.   Thus, much of America will disagree with the indisputable facts I have listed abut Obama below.

Hillary lost because most Americans cannot stand her as a person.

The Democrats knew this from their own polls, but ran her anyway.

That was not mere arrogance, it was hubris.

Trump won because, no matter how disgusting a pig he is, he was not Hillary.   Millions did not care that he is a nigger-hating, Muslim-baiting, Mexican–bashing, pussy-grabbing, lying blow-hard bankrupt without a sensible policy to his name – as long as he was not Hillary.

Millions more were willing to take a chance on his lack of sensible policies because they knew that Hillary was offering the same old policies that got us nowhere for the past 40 consecutive years.  If Trump’s stated policies were stupid or impossible or just plain lies, voters reasoned, they couldn’t be any worse than the Democratic policies, which they knew were mostly lies already.

Obama could not help Hillary because 8 years of his presidency did little to change the source of malaise in our country: the fact that the rich are getting richer while the middle and working classes are getting poorer.    The feeling of “left behind” does not stem from inequality of wealth, it stems from inequality of opportunity and from resentment of a system that is set up to transfer wealth and opportunity from the less well off to the rich. 

Why the left-behind felt that they might be helped by someone who is on the receiving end of those transfers is difficult to fathom.  But, hey, Hillary is also one of those on the receiving end, so perhaps that did not figure very strongly in the equation.

Finally, there is foreign policy:  voters can see that America no longer has the power to shape world events that it once had. Small nations no longer quake at our gun-boats and larger ones no longer clamber to get onto the bandwagon of whatever we are selling.  Although the rational mind may know that speaking loudly and shaking a big stick is unlikely to change this, they have seen that neither the voice of reason nor the surgical application of force have changed it either.   The emotional mind may grasp at straws of hope that the rational mind knows are unlikely to help.

Anyway: it is what it is and we are where we are.  Now we can only hope that the next four years will not be the catastrophic disaster I predicted they would be regardless of who won the election.

how did the Democrat party under Obama?  America disagrees with your assessment.  

i.e.  maybe exports increased, but imports increased even more.   you need to compare exports to imports.   the trade deficit increased to 800 Billion (5% of GDP).   that is a 5% leakage to our economy.   

America disagrees with your assessment.  Hillary lost even with all that Obama did to help her.

You are probably right, Michael.

Obama certainly will NOT be remembered for things such as

1.       A stock market rise of over 240% (DJI from 7,850 to 19000 and change)
2.       Cutting the deficit by 2/3rds (from 1.4T to 0.44T) and by more than 2/3 as % of GDP
3.      Cutting unemployment roles in half (from 10m to less than 5m)
4.       Increasing US exports by a third
5.       Increasing domestic oil production by 85%
6.     Increasing manufacturing jobs (largest sustained increase since 1998)
7.      Increasing new car sales from 13.2m to 17.4m (an all-time high)
8.     Improving Fuel Efficiency Standards
9.      Getting health coverage for 17 million uninsured Americans, including 4 million children
10.     Reducing the number of illegal immigrants entering the US
11.     Increasing the number of illegal immigrants being deported.
12.     Eliminating Osama Bin Laden
13.     Stopping US torturing of prisoners 
14.    Increasing support for US veterans
15.     Signing a new START treaty to reduce US & Russian nuclear weapons
16.    Helping to stop (or at least delay) Iran’s nuclear weapons program

And that’s just a few.   You can see some 400 accomplishments he will not be remembered for at

Title:  How will Obama be Remembered?             December 3, 2016 

By Michael Master (author of Save America Now, Rules for Conservatives, The Birth Famine)  

So how will Obama be remembered?  Certainly as the first black president.  But was that a good thing or a bad thing?  Will he be remembered as all that is wrong with affirmative action or as a failed president who happened to be black?  

Liberals claimed that opposition to Obama was because of race… that only bigots and racists opposed Obama.   The truth is that Obama is the only president to not have any executive experience prior to being elected president (no military, no government, and no business).   Lawyer is not executive experience.  Legislator is not executive experience.  Community organizer is not executive experience.  Professor is not executive experience.  While being president is an executive position.   

My opinion is that Obama failed because he is the only president to lack executive experience.  His race was not the issue.   His experience was.  

“Bigot” is a word used nowadays by bigots for everyone who disagrees with them. --  Sir Roger Scruton           

When Obama assumed office on January 21, 2008, Democrats controlled the House and the Senate.   Obama toured the world to apologize for the actions of the USA.  Obama did whatever he wanted.  Democrats passed Obamacare without one Republican voting for it, without any compromises with Republicans.   Obama was not inclusive.  He did not compromise.  He represented the “alt left.”  Since then, Democrats lost more than 900 state legislative seats, 14 governors, 13 US senate seats, and 67 US House seats ... more losses to the Democrat party than at any other time in history.   

As the head of the Democrat Party, Obama was a failure.    

Since Obama took office, the wealth gap between the rich and poor grew to its largest since 1930, the stock market increased more than 100% while net wages for working people decreased, unemployed black men in inner cities grew to 40%, job participation is at its lowest level of 62% since the Great Depression, 94 million Americans are out of work (more than any time in history),  home ownership is at the lowest percent in 70 years, crime increased dramatically in inner cities, 75% of children born in inner cities are born out of wedlock (a 500% increase in 40 years), the GDP only grew 14% in 8 years (the least amount over any 8 year presidential term, including during the Great Depression) while the national debt increased 100% (debt increased 7 times faster than GDP revenue) and inflation was 20% (14 - 20 = - 6% loss in purchasing power for the average American), healthcare costs and insurance doubled, the annual trade deficit increased to $800 billion per year (5% of GDP), the military became sorely depleted, ISIS,  Benghazi, Afghanistan, US withdrawal from Iraq, Iran deal, DACA, TPP, WTO,  manufacturing left America and took 20 million high paying manufacturing jobs with it, the USA replaced high paying manufacturing jobs with low paying service jobs, abortion, late term abortion, black lives matter vs blue lives and/or all lives, persecution/killings of Christians in Muslim countries and Africa without any tangible reactions from Obama, and America is more divided now than at any time since the Civil War.  Obama put globalization ahead of America.  

As president of the USA, not the world, Obama was a failure.  

In departure form generations of presidents, Barack and Michelle campaigned vigorously for Clinton to maintain his policies, executive orders, and legislation.  

Clinton offered more of the same Obama policies while Trump offered to make America great again.  Trump beat Clinton by 306 electoral votes to 232.   The states where Trump beat Clinton represent about 57% of the population of the USA.   While Clinton won the popular vote, Trump won the actual population 57 to 43.   The popular vote was spiked for Clinton by huge differences in NY and California and Massachusetts.  Trump chose to not campaign in those states and was able to win the presidency by spending less than a $100 million on his campaign while Clinton spent a billion dollars (10 to one).   Trump did what good businessmen do.   He focused on the markets that mattered.  He maximized his investment.  He demonstrated what he will do to make America great again… be a great executive… maximize USA investments for the USA.    

Now, how will Obama be remembered?   As all that is wrong with affirmative action or as a failed president who happened to be black?  You be the judge.

Whoever holds firmly to Brexit has indeed been guided to a straight path. 

Seek Brexit through patience and prayer; it is difficult except for the humbly submissive.

And Brexit will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but will give good tidings to the patient. For Brexit does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.    But never say of anything, “I will do that tomorrow,” except when adding "Brexit willing”

Autumn Statement ‘Buried Bad News’ Of £340m Minimum Wage Hit To Low Paid

It was only "buried" because of the incompetence of journalists such as yourself. If the government press releases that you publish as news with only minor re-write do not include something, you then accuse the government of "burying" that news.

Blue-Collar Democrats To Party: It’s Still The Economy, Stupid
The trade unions have been trying to get the democrats to bring back tariffs for 50 years - now a pseudo-conservative might give them their big-government wish. That this means protection for a few at the expense of most Americans is irrelevant. Trade unions have always been about their own workers first and everyone else second - that's their job. It is summed up by a sentiment Mr Trump agrees with: "I'm alright, Jack."
    However, even if the democrats HAD listened, they would have lost: nominating Hilary when even their own polls showed that everyone in America hated her was worse than arrogance; it was hubris.

Federal Judge Declares Constitutional Right to ‘Stable Environment’

Not a bad piece, but went seriously wrong at the end: the US constitution most definitely DOES provide for positive rights, "among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (Not to mention the the right to private property, the contract clause, the takings clause, the right to a jury, the debt clauses, and the 7th amendment.)

The judge said that all she needed to do was “determine what emissions level would be sufficient to” end global warming, and then order everyone is this country to change their fossil fuel consumption accordingly.
    Oh, well; if that's ALL, go ahead then.

Austrian Socialists Block Burqa Ban Bid

This symbol of sexism and elitism should not be worn in any civilised society. No one is so high and mighty that none dare look upon their face.
   In western secular societies, anyone who wears a burka or niqab is either deliberately disrespecting local cultural values and deliberately offending her native neighbours, is being oppressed by someone who is forcing her to wear it or is simply pig ignorant.
  Still, not sure that means the government should ban it. In a free society, people have a right to be deliberately offensive and if we forbade stupidity and ignorance, none of us would survive.

  It would not be unreasonable to make it an offense to order or insist that someone else wear one.

President Trump

We know that the Donald is an ardent follower of Norman Vincent Peale’s “Attitudes are more important than facts."   He promises quick, painless and complete solutions to problems that are deep and complex But I have some specific questions:

2) How will the First Freeloader, who is proud to pay no taxes, reform the tax code?

3) How will the husband of a formerly undocumented worker handle immigration reform?

           (Will there be a difference in the way your illegal and my illegal are treated?)

4) How will a bankrupt handle our national debt?

           (Is default on the cards?)

5) Can  the guy who eschewed campaign contributions reform political finance?

         (What’s his upside for even trying to drain the swamp?)

6) Can the guy who routinely stiffs his contractors repair our infrastructure on the cheap?

        (Will there be a difference in the way your religion and my religion are treated?)

Only time will tell

Our only hope is that, like most politicians, he has no intention of keeping any of his election promises.  Specific campaign promises we hope he will not keep include:

1)            Tearing up free trade and re-introducing significant tariff barriers

2)            Rounding up and deporting 11 million workers

3)            Kicking 9 million off health insurance

4)            Borrowing money abroad to pay for massive tax cuts for the very rich

5)            Withdrawing from NATO

6)            Encouraging Iran to re-start their nuclear programme

8)            Increasing government surveillance of my internet

9)            Making torture a part of our military 

Trump’s US Presidential Election Win Sees Hundreds Of  Protesters Gather American democracy believes in the peaceful transition of power and coming behind whoever wins as OUR president. People who protest this are anti-American and anti-democracy.

[Some] Reading Students Boycott University Challenge After Accusing Jeremy Paxman
"Misogyny and sexism are not about ‘offending’ contestants, but undermining and oppressing individuals due to their gender."
    That could be so, but this article contains NO evidence that Paxman committed either mysogyny or sexism. False accusations are not about offending the accused, they are deliberate oppression designed to ruin the target's good name and character.

         The University said it would "support any students who feel they have been victims of prejudice and investigate any complaints, but none have been reported to us.”    Basically, the students are saying that the university should support their oppression of Paxman with no evidence, indeed without even a complaint.

Gabrielle Union: ‘I Deserve To Get Paid The Same As Men’ 

If she attracts the same audience as men, she certainly should. 

But it is about results achieved and NOT about putting in the same hours. 
A ditch-digger or a dish-washer may put in the same hours as a surgeon or a test pilot, but they do not deserve to be paid the same.

Tough New Benefits Cap Will Stay Even If Inflation Rises

Theresa May Urged To Speak Out On Article 50 Ruling Backlash

The Daily Mail, Daily Express and Sun have always been enemies of British institutions and British democracy, but it is odd to see the Daily Telegraph joining in.

       He wants the UK to publish its negotiation strategy before the negotiations start so that Brexit comes off as bad as it possibly could, so he can say "I told you so." 

      "Okay, I didn't tell you so very loudly; more of a whisper, really, but I did tell you so."

No, it was not a mistake, it was a deliberate lie; as is much of FOX news and most of Trump's campaign.

The most important issue this election forgot

No, the election did not forget them, the news media refused to cover them because
1) it was not the two main candidates trashing each other
2) it would require hard work and intelligence to cover
