Doing great with China and other Trade Deals. The only problem we have is Jay Powell and the Fed. He’s like a golfer who can’t putt, has no touch. Big U.S. growth if he does the right thing, BIG CUT - but don’t count on him! So far he has called it wrong, and only let us down....

These 7 Social Security myths just aren’t true, no matter how often you hear them
Myth No. 1: Illegal immigrants collect Social Security
Not True. Immigrants must be lawfully present and must pay into the system for at least 10 years. In short, they have to follow the same eligibility rules as everyone else.
Myth No. 2: The government raided the trust fund
The Social Security trust fund has never been “put into the general fund of the government.” It is a separate account, always has been, and has generated $1.9 trillion in interest. For reference, the total trust fund balance is $2.9 trillion.
Myth No. 3: Social Security is going bankrupt
By 2020, there will not be enough money coming into the system to pay out to people claiming benefit, so the Social Security Administration will begin pulling money from the trust fund, which will last until 2035. Then the amount coming in will pay 76% of benefits.
Myth No. 4: Members of Congress don’t pay into the Social Security system
Since 1984, members of Congress are required to contribute to Social Security just like anyone else.
Myth No. 5: You’ll never get back what you put in
Each individual gets back the dollars they’paid in within just a few years of filing for benefits.
Myth No. 6: Social Security benefits are an earned right
Social Security payments are not guaranteed, and laws can be changed at any time
Myth No. 7: Everyone should delay filing for Social Security benefits until age 70

Brazil President ‘Will Accept G7 $20m Amazon Fire Aid ONLY If Macron Apologises’
Dear Mr Bolsonaro
I am sorry that you view a desire to help as treating you like a colony.
Our stay as a colonial power in Brazil was French Antarctique from 1555 to 1567, when we were thrown out by the Portugese, and again in Equinoctial France, which lasted from 1612 to 1614, with the same result. We have not been there since. We thought it was a long time ago and didn't realize that it irked you so much.
Again, I do apologise to offering to help.
Emmanuel Macron

Glasgow University Pledges Millions for ‘Reparative Justice’ for Slavery Ties
Whoa! What about reparative justice for the Irish, for LGBTQRF, for Asian for Jews, for Muslims. If you are going to do reparative justice you need to do it for everybody who has been discriminated against, not just pick one group. Everybody who has ever been a victim is entitled to some of those millions.

Liberals Defer Abdilahi Elmi's Deportation To Somalia, Advocates Say
I can't believe they would want to deport a criminal who cost the taxpayer and his victims countless thousands. Shouldn't people who commit crimes in Canada go back to the Canadian community where they live so they can commit more crimes? What was the Border Services Agency thinking? It is clear that this guy couldn't possibly deal with the horrible duty of learning Somali and he might have difficulty in a society where crime is dealt with.
Good for you for speaking up about being a victim since the age of 13!
Now, what measures are in place to prevent women from sexually harassing men?

Because 18 years ago and man tried, but failed, to light his shoes and because 13 years ago someone had a liquid bomb that didn't work, everyone has to jump through hoops at airports....because something "could happen." There are lots of things that could happen, and current airport security deals with about 3% of them.

National Farmers Union Says Trump Is ‘Burning Bridges’ With His Trade Wars
“President
Trump is making things worse, not better” by continuing to escalate tariffs on
China, the organization says
Trump’s Tariffs Will Make These Ordinary Things More Expensive for the Holidays
Of course this union only represents family farms, who don’t get much of Trump’s socialism. Agribusinesses like Cargill and Archer Daniels, who get most of Trump’s socialism, are not as upset.
Ordinary things like cellphones, clothes, shoes and toys imported from China will get more expensive when Trump’s tariffs take effect

Boris Accuses EU Of Being Too 'Negative' After Merkel And Tusk Trash His Brexit Offer
"No Deal" is undemocratic.
The British people did not vote for a "no deal" Brexit.

If Labor, Liberals and the SNP want a deal, have them vote for the withdrawl agreement.

Donald Trump Slams Fox News For His Brutally Bad Polling Numbers
Well of course i is Fox News' fault. Certainly can;t be Trump's fault.
If they won't lie about his numbers, he should send in the military to make sure they do lie.
- Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!
@JudicialWatch - Your electoral college victory was ONLY because of Russian interference in our elections. We grant that you didn't collude: they just wanted you because you are more malleable than your opponent.

Europe
is a foe
I finally understood Donnie Trump when he said “Europe is a foe.” At first I thought; “who are our allies,
then?” Then I realised that for our
President, there are no allies: everyone is a foe. And that is as true of Americans as anybody
else.
It’s not that he is racist: it is just that he think that Blacks,
Hispanics and Asians are foes, whether from America or some other shore. It is not that he is a bigot: he thinks that
Muslims and Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindus are foes, both at home and abroad. Far from being the President of all of us, Trump
thinks that most Americans are foes, especially if they come from the Democratic
or Libertarian party.
For Trump, anyone who does not let you do whatever it is you want to do,
is a foe. He thinks that the emoluments
clause, which prevent him profiting personally by being the President of the
United States, is a foe: something to be gotten around. He views contractors
who have done work for him as foes, which is why he frequently won’t pay them.
He thinks that climate change scientist and conservationists are foes, because
they say he shouldn’t be doing what he is doing.
In short, anyone who opposes him in any way, is a foe.
This is not an unusual stance for a billionaire: they are used to getting
their own way.
(Jeffrey Epstein, Teddy Kennedy, Tiger Woods, Bernie Madoff)
For Trump, getting his own way permeates his every thought and predicts
his tactics. If you cross him, he will ridicule
you, belittle you, go all out on an ad hominem
attack. He is like a Saul Alinsky wet
dream: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
It is also why he gets on best with dictators Putin, Xi, Kim and Mohammad
bin Salman. They think the way he does. Dictators know that everyone is a foe. (They
also can call his bluff, which is why he is so circumspect in their presence.)
Trump sees the world as a zero sum game: you can win or you can lose,
there is no middle ground. Win-win
scenarios are for wimps….and foes.

RCMP Urged To Release Report On Alleged Spying Of Anti-Oil Protesters
I heard that the anti-oil protesters spied on the Northern Gateway pipeline project and attended National Energy Board meetings to get an idea of what they were doing..
This monitoring, surveillance and information sharing with other protest groups created a chilling effect for those pro-oil people who might wish to take part in hearings or other public discussions on pro-petroleum issues.

John Humpys is more interested in his own opinions than he is that of his interviewees.
The interviewee is really there only to let John tell us what HE thinks.
Absolutrely! We need to have people who don't ride trains subsidize us.
If they subsidize us enough, can will rebuild trust in our trains on our own, thanks.
I want to know how the Clinton's did it, inside a jail run by Trump's administration and supervised by Barr.
- No debate on Election Security should go forward without first agreeing that Voter ID (Identification) must play a very strong part in any final agreement. Without Voter ID, it is all so meaningless.
- No problem with voter ID, as long as it is free of charge. Otherwise, it's a poll tax.
- It always happens! When a Conservative does even a fraction of what Chris Cuomo did with his lunatic ranting, raving, & cursing, they get destroyed by the Fake News. But when a Liberal Democrat like Chris Cuomo does it, Republicans immediately come to his defense. We never learn
- That's my President for ALL the people. You do like to divide, don't you Donnie?
- Many are blaming me, and the United States, for the problems going on in Hong Kong. I can’t imagine why?
- No one can understand why anyone is blaming forces outside of China and Hong Kong. What did Putin tell you to do?

By Europe: they think you are a joke. By Mexico? They think you are a racist?
By Democrats? You have said you are not their President.

Trump Hosted Party With Jeffrey Epstein and ‘28 Girls,’ Report Claims
Attorney General William Barr said he was 'appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead' and that his death 'raises serious questions that must be answered.
Barr investigating is like having the fox investigate security in the hen house.
An event organizer recalled that he warned Trump about Epstein’s conduct in 1992, but that the future president ignored him.

Incidentally, the hijab is a fashion statement, not a religious obligation.
