Trump's work with China to improve our trade deficit with them is generating a good deal of hope that things will indeed improve. Quote: "“We have been ripped off by China, an evacuation of wealth like no country has ever seen before, given to another country that's rebuilt itself based on a lot of the money they've taken out of the United States, and that's not going to happen anymore,” Trump vowed last week. China, he said, “has become very spoiled. The European Union has become very spoiled.” Chinese Vice Premier Liu He visited Washington last week for negotiations aimed at averting a trade war. China reportedly had a plan to reduce the deficit by $200 billion. But the negotiations concluded without a firm target. In a joint statement, Washington and Beijing agreed to take effective measures to substantially reduce the trade deficit. “China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services,” the statement said, including U.S. agriculture and energy exports. Trump, unlikely to be swayed by anodyne statements, will exert pressure. Contrary to groupthink, it is possible for China to make a big dent in the deficit and build on Trump’s relationship with President Xi Jinping to the advantage of both countries. In addition to the economic benefits, a tactically coordinated reduction of the trade deficit could advance important foreign policy goals for both sides."    http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/388741-trumps-approach-to-trade-deficit-could-change-the-world    

This is what happens if you let progressive Democrats run any level of government for any length of time.  Quote: "Seattle never learns. Seattle says it has a homelessness problem, which it does. The city says the problem is getting out of control and something needs to be done about it. Are the uber-liberal residents and politicians of the city stepping forward to house the unfortunate people? No. Seattle is failing to learn its lesson and is insisting on more bloated government to solve a problem bloated government created. The housing crisis in Seattle is the fault of the Seattle government. The city has been on a nonstop rampage to declare itself the most progressive society in the world for the last few years. During its crusade to kill jobs and make life miserable in the city it has enacted rules and regulations that make it almost impossible to build housing there."  And,  "Businesses in the Seattle must now ask themselves some important questions, is it worth expanding if the business will get taxed for succeeding? If Seattle doesn’t want a person’s business to grow and expand, why should he or she move or start it there? The lunacy of Seattle never ceases to amaze. Only the left would watch its taxation, zoning, and employment laws create a crisis, then advocate for more of the same. Every city should pay close attention to what Seattle is doing, and do the opposite. If a city wants to increase its tax base, decrease poverty, and increase the quality of living, don’t be like Seattle."    http://dailytorch.com/2018/05/seattle-created-its-homelessness-crisis-now-its-trying-to-make-it-worse/

Things for Stormy Daniels and her lawyer are not going very well.  Avenatti's law firm have been hit with a court ordered $10 million judgement.   Quote: "A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge on Tuesday ordered Michael Avenatti’s law firm to pay a former colleague $10 million."  And,  "Avenatti is currently facing a number of legal challenges. TheDCNF discovered May 16 that his coffee companies, Global Baristas LLC and Global baristas US, LLC, had yet to pay a woman who won a sex-discrimination case any of the $120,000 that a Seattle judge ordered."  That should tell you all you need to know about his ethics.  

It is a fact that far too many left wing liberals have limited logic skills. They may be smart but they sure can be illogical, too. I would like for one of them to try to explain the difference between a woman's right to kill her baby and this man who was sentenced to 20 years in jail for killing a baby in the womb.  Quote: "If the pro-aborts are right in their view, then this man committed vandalism by destroying his girlfriend’s property. At worst, he committed assault by damaging a part of her body. But homicide? No. Homicide by definition is the deliberate and unlawful killing of a person. An unborn child by definition — at least by the demented, unscientific definition that serves as the entire basis for the Roe decision and the pro-abortion cause for the past 40 years — is not a person."  And,  "To hell with that. Literally, to hell with it. If we are going to be a society where babies aren’t people, then let’s be that society. Let’s stop hiding from ourselves. We kill babies here. It is legal to kill babies here. Babies aren’t people here. That’s the ugly truth. If we don’t like it — and we shouldn’t — then let’s change it. If we won’t change it, then let this innocent man out of jail and let him return to his medical practice. He is only a doctor performing a medical procedure, after all. He does not deserve to be persecuted for it."   Why can liberals not see their abject hypocrisy???  Just because the Supreme Court made a stupid, illogical decision under pressure from pro-abortion activists does not make it right, or legal.  Either murder is the killing of another "person" or it's not.  Duality in the law is unacceptable.  It is long past time to call a halt to elective abortions because it is, simply stated, "an act of murder".  

Now read this.  More on the awful practice of abortion.  Quote: " The U.S. Department of Justice has informed Operation Rescue in a letter dated May 11, 2018, that abortionist Douglas Karpen has finally been forwarded to the FBI Houston Field Office for "any action deemed necessary" related to crimes that include the murder of living babies after failed abortions. The case actually began in 2012, when four women who worked at Karpen's Houston area abortion facilities contacted Operation Rescue with information that he was violating the law. Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Vice President of Operation Rescue, received photos of large babies that one Karpen employee had taken at his abortion facility with her cell phone that workers said had been born alive then killed by slashing or twisting their necks."    https://webmail.centurylink.net/mail#15    Isn't that an act of murder???

The socialist government of Sweden failed the public they were elected to serve.  Accommodating cultures that do not have common interests and philosophies will never blend.  They have learned that the hard way and now resort to having to send them this warning letter.  Other nations who have embraced the unethical UN led placement of Muslim refugees in western countries against all logic need to do their due diligence to avoid having to take similar actions.  Quote: "The Swedish government has begun sending all 4.8m of the country’s households a public information leaflet telling the population, for the first time in more than half a century, what to do in the event of a war. Om krisen eller kriget kommer (If crisis or war comes) explains how people can secure basic needs such as food, water and heat, what warning signals mean, where to find bomb shelters and how to contribute to Sweden’s “total defence”. The 20-page pamphlet, illustrated with pictures of sirens, warplanes and families fleeing their homes, also prepares the population for dangers such as cyber and terror attacks and climate change, and includes a page on identifying fake news."  And  "Sweden has not been at war with another country for more than 200 years. If it is attacked, the leaflet says, “we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.”    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/21/sweden-distributes-be-prepared-for-war-cyber-terror-attack-leaflet-to-every-home

Sad to say but it is a straight forward fact that far too many elected politicians are unethical.  This elected official has been investigated a number of times due to her lack of ethics.  Quote: "Democrat California Congresswoman Maxine Waters is slated to pay her daughter over $100,000 in campaign funds this election cycle, drawing scrutiny from multiple media outlets. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported $42,862 has already been paid to Karen Waters since the beginning of 2017 based on Federal Election Commission filings, while another $65,000 is listed as yet to be paid for “professional services” working on a “slate mailer.” According to The Washington Free Beacon, the younger Waters had collected approximately $650,000 as of April for running the slate mail operation for her mother over multiple election cycles."   https://www.westernjournal.com/maxine-waters-under-ethical-scrutiny-transferring-100k-to-daughter-from-campaign-funds/?   This elected official has a habit of showing her lack of good judgement.

We have come to expect this kind of behavior from subscribers of left wing socialist Democrats policies and programs.  They are disrespectful of anyone who differs with their idiotic, irrational and failing political policies/positions. One has to wonder on what basis they make decisions to behave in such a horrific way.   https://www.dailywire.com/news/30962/watch-tomi-lahren-gets-drink-thrown-her-verbally-amanda-prestigiacomo?   And they want us to be nice to them and do what they demand of us???
