The Rest Of The Story 1

A rational assessment of Trump's diplomacy with North Korea.  Anyone who listens to and consumes the left wing talking heads who treat him and his efforts as buffoonery.  But as this piece establishes it is they who are both hate filled irrational buffoons and given history hypocrites to boot. Quote: "It was not an official state visit, not an over-nighter and not even time for lunch.  But President Trump’s tippy-toeing a few feet into North Korea has created the kind of ruckus among his left-wing adversaries that you might have thought he was delivering South Korea’s surrender in the yet unended 70-year-old Korean War. The usual characters on the elitist morning cable shows were uncompromised on their negative analysis – in fact, they were in competition with each other to see who could make the most outrageous condemnations of Trump and his overseas diplomacy.  According to them, it was “ridiculous,” “stupid,” blah, blah, blah.  They said he was legitimizing a brutal dictator.  They claimed that Kim Jong-un got everything from Trump, and Trump got nothing in return.  Of course, they are lying.  Yes, lying. It was not an official state visit, not an over-nighter and not even time for lunch.  But President Trump’s tippy-toeing a few feet into North Korea has created the kind of ruckus among his left-wing adversaries that you might have thought he was delivering South Korea’s surrender in the yet unended 70-year-old Korean War.

There is only one difference – Trump hatred.  It is not about what Trump is doing or not doing, but about the #NeverTrump Resistance Movement running on a perma-criticism strategy. In a reasonable and fair political environment – and with a mainstream media operating like real journalists – some of what Trump and his administration are doing would be viewed objectively as … well … damn good work. The Trump haters are doing more to damage the interests of the United States in the world community than Trump could do on his worst day.  In their hatred, they have abandoned America’s important tradition of ending partisanship at the water’s edge.  They have made common cause with the mullahs in Iran. Despite their dark self-serving interpretations of Trump’s Korean peninsula strategy, Trump has done more to resolve the situation than his predecessors.  Yes, it is a work in progress, but Trump does not earn an “F” for a yet incomplete project – and one that is moving in the right direction, even if not as fast as we might like."    http://punchingbagpost.com/2019/07/09/horist-there-is-deja-vu-in-trump-going-to-north-korea/

This is a compare and contrast of two economies.  Can anyone explain what the Democrat liberal left does not understand?  Quote: "When comparing the Obama economy and the Reagan economy, I often used a database from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve that compared jobs and growth data during business cycles. That made sense since both presidents had an economic expansion that began relatively early in their tenures. But what about comparing Obama and Trump? The Minneapolis Fed data isn’t overly useful since we’re in the same expansion that began during the Obama years. To avoid that methodological problem, some people have been comparing the final years of the Obama Administration with the early years of the Trump Administration. Let’s do the same thing using the just-released jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate is only 3.7 percent, which is certainly good news. But the employment-population ratio is a better gauge of the real strength of the jobs market. But those numbers don’t tell us much. They’ve been improving during the Trump years, but not in a way that seems different than the trend that was underway in Obama’s final years."  This Washington Post  paragraph highlights the difference.  "Time to wake up from the Barack Obama economy, folks, and admit how many more Americans are prospering from the faster economic growth and tighter labor market after the policy changes of 2017. …Time to wake up from the Barack Obama economy, folks, and admit how many more Americans are prospering from the faster economic growth and tighter labor market after the policy changes of 2017. …the economic expansion reached its 10th anniversary, the longest on record. But the accounts ignore that the last two years have been far different than the first eight in economic policies and results. We’re long enough into the Trump era to track the differences. ……Average hourly earnings for production-level manufacturing workers have grown at an annual rate of 2.8% during the Trump Presidency compared to 1.9% during Barack Obama’s second term."  And,  "The jobless rate for blacks is 6.2%, which is only 2.9 percentage-points higher than for whites versus a 4.6 percentage-point difference before the start of the 2008 recession. Unemployment has fallen twice as much among blacks as whites since December 2016. Nearly one million more blacks and two million more Hispanics are employed than when Barack Obama left office, and minorities account for more than half of all new jobs created during the Trump Presidency. Unemployment among black women has hovered near 5% for the last six months, the lowest since 1972, and a mere 3.5% of high school graduates are unemployed. …The Trump Administration…policy mix of deregulation and tax reform has unleashed more private investment and job creation that has lifted productivity and wages for the non-affluent. The result has been faster growth and less inequality."    https://finance.townhall.com/columnists/danieljmitchell/2019/07/08/the-trump-economy-vs-the-obama-economy-n2549676?

This is about as close to the truth as truth can be.  The Democrat party is engaged in a civil war. Quote: "There are no two ways about it, the Democrats are in a civil war. Of course, primary season has begun with the passing of the first round of Democratic debates, so one would expect a certain degree of infighting and jockeying for position, as with any political party at such a time. Yet something darker, more deranged, more Orwellian has taken hold. The socialist self-destruction is great for Donald Trump, great for America, and truly great entertainment. The Democrats may as well be living on Animal Farm."  And,  "With the public faces of the Democratic majority in the house firing shots at each other like a game of laser tag, coupled with the left, extreme left, and somewhat centrist factions of the Democrats in full on assault on one another, the Democrats are in the midst of full-scale civil war. A civil war that is only going to get more intense as the primaries grow closer. It may not be a great way to run a party, but it will be great for President Trump’s re-election, great for the country and immensely entertaining."   

It finally looks like Obamacare is on its last legs.  Quote: "Tuesday afternoon, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Texas v. Azar and aggressively interrogated attorneys defending Obamacare’s individual mandate. They seemed deeply skeptical that the mandate can survive constitutional muster unless the lawyers representing Democratic attorneys general in 21 states and the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives can produce more convincing arguments than they have thus far put forward. This may well endanger the entire health-care law. The general atmosphere during Tuesday’s hearing suggested that, if the individual mandate falls, Obamacare’s entire creaking edifice must go down with it."    https://spectator.org/appeals-court-looks-askance-at-obamacare/?

Robert Johnson, the first black Billionaire and life long Democrat, gives Trump an A+ on the economy and says that Democrats have moved too far left.    https://explainlife.com/first-black-billionaire-in-usa-gives-trump-a-on-economy-says-dems-gone-too-far-left-15565/?

This is who the political left are.  Vulger, disrespectful and feel entitled to behave they way they do because they are a special class.

.Joe Biden has gotten really wealthy after leaving office.  I wonder at his age why he does not just call it quits and go fishing or relax and read a book.   https://www.libertyheadlines.com/biden-income-spiked-leaving-office/
