New York success story

Maybe you did not read the announcement. So I will mention the latest story about the New York subway. The New York mayor was pleased to announcement that Manhatten's Second Ave Line will be opening in the first month of 2017. It was noted that the announcement was met with approval by those patrons on the east side because they will, for the first time, be served by the subway system. I found it interesting that this is the first phase of the project, and I would like to add the following comment. Apparently, the project was first proposed in 1920, and there was no mention of when the next phase will be completed. Also, the cost of this first phase of the project was 4.5 billion dollars for the 2 miles of subway. For those of you that are interested, please note that the cost per inch of the subway project was approximately $35,511 per inch. This looks like it is another example New York city's fine on-time and under-budget city government at work.

Racist college professors

Damon Sajnani will be teaching a class at the University of Wisconsin at Madison this next semester which in the overview of the class implies that all white people are racist. If someone tried to put a class into any college in the nation which described itself as intended to explore the racist black population in America, they would be run out of the town on a rail, and justly so. However, in the super 'liberal' colleges it appears that anyone can call any white person a racist or make racial slurs against whites with impunity. I am disgusted with the blatant double standard that is constantly applied. Whites can be demeaned but not even a whisper about racist blacks is allowed.

An Article by Sandy Fitzgerald

The United States could have killed a key United Nations resolution that condemned Israel for its West Bank settlements by voting against it rather than abstaining, former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Friday night, but he thinks President Barack Obama took the action to "box the incoming Trump administration in."

"This was a stab in the back against the Israelis," Bolton told Fox News' "Hannity" show Friday night. "It was entirely predictable. I would say this for people in the pro-Israel community in the United States who defended Obama's Middle East policy over these last eight years: You should have seen this coming and this is what you get for supporting Barack Obama."

Obama has had a contentious relationship with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the years, Bolton conceded, but he thinks the administration's decision to abstain from the UN vote on Friday goes deeper than that.

"I think this was an effort to box the in-coming Trump administration in, and it violates nearly 50 years of American bipartisan policy on the Middle East, going back to the iconic resolution 242 after the 1967 war."

The proposed resolution says Israel's occupation is "illegitimate," said Bolton, and "therefore it has no land to give back in exchange for peace. Contrary to what the Obama administration has said, this puts a huge thumb on the scale against Israel."

Further, Bolton said, the consequences of the revolution will be felt for many years in negative ways for both Israel and the United States.

There has been a great deal of bipartisan pushback against the decision to abstain from the resolution, but Bolton said it was "entirely foreseeable" that Obama took the action he did.

And even with the resolution, there is "not a chance" Israel will quit developing in the West Bank region, and "nor should they,"s aid Bolton.

"I do think, contrary to what Obama says, this is the death now of the two-state solution," Bolton said. "It shows once again it's fundamentally unworkable, and I think Netanyahu and a nearly unanimous Israeli opinion will support him on that."

When it come to the United States, he continued, "it's time to stand up for principle."

"I've certainly advocated for a long time, which is votes in the united nations should have consequences," said Bolton. "We've got two issues here, the 14 countries that voted in favor of the resolution and the United Nations as a whole."

Bolton continued that he'd recommend that Trump call the resolution "illegitimate" and say the United States will try to repeal it, and if that fails, cut the U.S. contribution to the UN.

A bad tenant?

Obama is setting up a new tradition for leaving the White House. He is acting just the same as any no-class hateful renter who is evicted from a rental home. The most base of renters will go out of their way to destroy the landlord’s property when they are evicted.  Some of the things that I have heard that low-class renters have done is to dump cement into the toilet and take other measures to stop up all of the plumbing fixtures. I have heard of them throwing ink all over the carpet, and purposely causing thousands of dollars of water damage. They knock holes in the walls and break window as well.

Obama’s actions in the last weeks of his presidency rival those of any low-class renter that I have ever heard of. He has gone out of his way to destroy Israel’s position by instructing our U.N. representative to allow a measure to pass which is in total conflict with all previous American policies. It is my opinion that he has decided that it is no longer necessary to make even a hint of an effort to hide his hatred for Jews and especially his hatred for Israel.

Since Donald Trump has won the election, Obama has been in panic to issue as many executive orders as he can manage with the express purpose of leaving Trump with as big of a mess to clean up as is humanly possible. Most of the dung that he is spreading can be undone by Trump via the same vehicle, executive actions, but the purpose can’t be undone. It will detract Trump from putting all of his attention into doing the best job for the American public. Obama is making a mighty effort to torpedo Trump’s presidency. If it is not clearly obvious to you, I will spell it out so that there is no mistake. Obama does not care one iota how much damage he does or how much his actions may hurt America. His goal is to spitefully hinder Trump in any way possible!

This is exactly the type of actions which one should expect from a third-rate dictator-want-to-be who was totally unable to work with anyone in the Republican Party or even someone who had a different opinion about anything. Obama’s solution for everything was to play third-world dictator and listen to no one that disagreed with him. Thank God we will be rid of him soon. Goodbye Obama, and good riddance.  I hope that your legacy is placed in the toilet where it belongs.

Is this more Obama and Demcrat lies?

Obama and the Democrat leadership will do anything to diminish the Trump administration. In my opinion, this latest accusation regarding Russia is simply an attempt to diminish Trump's victory and also to try to tarnish Trump's image by implying that Trump is in some kind of anti-America conspiracy with President Putin.
Fact: The DNC emails were hacked by some one.
Fact: The emails were made public by WikiLeaks.
Fact: The emails leaked presented Hillary and the DNC as deceitful and dishonest.
Fact: The information in the emails was true.
Allegation, probably untrue: Obama is accusing Russia for the hacking.
In the spirit of presenting FACTS, I have included an excerpt from a recent article quoting President Putin.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladi­mir Putin has a message for the White House and Democratic leaders who accuse him of stealing their candidate’s victory: Don’t be sore losers.

That was how Putin answered a question Friday at his nationally televised annual news conference about whether Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

The Democrats “are losing on all fronts and looking elsewhere for things to blame,” he told the nearly 1,400 journalists packed into a Moscow convention hall for the nearly four-hour event. “In my view, this, how shall I say it, degrades their own dignity. You have to know how to lose with dignity.”

The Kremlin leader — who also sent an upbeat letter to Trump last week that the president-elect revealed Friday — pointed out that Republicans had won the House and Senate, as well.

“Did we do that, too?” he asked with a slight grin.

 (Reuters) To chide the Democratic leadership, Putin invoked the U.S. president he occasionally mentions as someone he admires. He appears to seek favorable comparison to Franklin D. Roosevelt, America’s longest-serving head of state, because of his own efforts to help Russia prosper after the ruinous depression that followed the Soviet Union’s demise.

“Outstanding figures in American history from the ranks of the Democratic Party would likely be turning in their graves. Roosevelt certainly would be,” Putin told the journalists.

“Trump understood the mood of the people and kept going until the end, when nobody believed in him,” Putin said, adding with another wry smile, “except for you and me.”

Trump’s transition team said Friday that Putin had sent a letter Dec. 15 wishing the president-elect a merry Christmas and conveying a desire “to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level.”

“A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct,” Trump’s transition team quoted the president-elect as saying. “I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path.”

The Russian leader has repeatedly denied involvement in the U.S. election despite the accusations from the White House, and the Kremlin has questioned the evidence for the claims. On Friday, Putin borrowed some of Trump’s dismissive rhetoric, remarking, “Maybe it was someone lying on the couch who did it.”

More deceit

The men who wrote our constitution never imagined that the political representatives in America would ever be so unethical as the democrats leadership has become. The founders had integrity and morals and it is easy to understand that they assumed that American politics would have it also. Our founders were wrong. The leadership in the democratic party is demonstrating a total lack of integrity, and a total immersion in devious conduct in a win-at-any-cost attempt to undermine the presidential election results. They are stating that the electors have no obligation to vote the will of the voters in their state. They are utilizing the alleged hacking of the DNC emails by the Russians as a red herring to propose that the electors should 'correct' the election results. First of all, there is an assumption that the Russians were responsible for hacking the DNC emails. There is no proof that this is true. The only thing known is that someone hacked the DNC emails. Then there is the assertion by the democrats that the revealing of the emails caused Hillary to lose the election. There is no way to ever prove or disprove that assertion. Based on these two assertions, which are probably both incorrect, the democrats now claim that the electors should 'vote their conscience'. The information revealed in the hacked emails was all true!!! The democrats are simply angry that the voters found out the truth about their biased views. The democrats are not really concerned about any of the hacking. They are simply looking for any means to illegally steal the  election.

Democrats want to throw out democracy

For the last month, the democrats have complained, whined, and tried every maneuver conceivable to try to delegitimize Donald Trump's victory. There were 538 electors chosen as a result of the election, and the electors are required to vote for the candidate that received the most popular votes in their state. Donald Trump won 306 electoral votes because the people in the states voted for Trump. Now the democrats have employed the entire leftist media to try to subvert the republican victory by asserting that the electoral electors should ignore the will of the voters and elect anyone that they want when they cast the electoral votes next week.   The democrats are now saying that the 538 people in the electoral college should ignore the results of the presidential election and choose anyone that they want.

To make this crystal-clear, what the democrats are pushing for is to totally ignore the November election results. They are claiming that the electors in the electoral college can, and should, vote for anyone that they want for the office of president. The democrats are pushing to discard the democratic election process and to elect the president based strictly on the will of the 538 electors in the electoral college. This is tantamount to discarding the whole idea of any democratic process in choosing the president. There does not appear to be any limit to how low the democrat leadership will sink to win using any and all means available. If they are unsuccessful, what do you think they will try next? Perhaps, they can lead a revolution to take over by force!

Time to accept reality

The Democrats ongoing obsession with invalidating Mr Trump’s presidential election victory seems to have no bounds. They continue to invent every excuse possible to explain how his victory was a ‘fluke’ or to propose that his victory should be discounted. The democrats carried the state of California by more than 3 million votes. Could it be that a substantial number of votes cast in California were cast by illegals voting illegally? But the point is that the majority of the remainder of the country voted for Donald Trump. However, the democrats continue to try to invalidate Mr Trump’s victory by saying that the majority of votes were for Hillary. The Constitution clearly states that the presidential election is determined by electoral votes, not the popular vote.

Then they fall back on their same old tired excuse by claiming that Trump won the election because all of the Republicans (or maybe only most Republicans) are racists. Somehow they then claim that we hated Hillary because we are racist and we turned out in force to vote against her. It is obviously an idiotic emotional attempt to discount Mr. Trump’s victory.

Then they claimed that Mr Comey, the FBI director, purposely used the ongoing criminal investigation to sabotage Hillary’s campaign. Of course, just a few months earlier they had heaped praises on his head because he did not indict Hillary in spite of the existence of very powerful evidence against her.

The latest idiotic claim is that Russia hacked into the Democratic National Convention’s emails for the express purpose of sabotaging Hillary’s campaign. Of course, they completely ignore the fact that Wikileaks is the source of the leaked emails, and Wikileaks insists that Russia was not the hacker. All of this ignores the fact that the leaked emails were the TRUTH! Essentially, the democrats are really claiming that the American public had no right to be informed of the truth. So what else will they invent as the excuse that they lost the election!!!

The truth of the matter is that Donald ran the superior campaign. The truth of the matter is that Donald was the superior of the two candidates. And the truth of the matter is that election was decided by the voters in complete compliance with the constitution.

More invalid anti-trump rhetoric

On reading an article by Mr Robert Tracinski in The Federalist, I was impressed by his ability to twist what Mr Trump has said to put a negative spin on his words. It was done so smoothly that one could very easily miss the purposeful misdirection. For one thing, Mr Tracinski made the comment that Trump is proposing that there be a 35 % tax imposed on all imports. Please be aware of that statement, ALL IMPORTS. If you actually listen to what Trump is proposing then you can easily see that this misdirection is entirely wrong and intended to lay the groundwork for Mr Tracinski’s following accusations. What Trump is actually proposing is that any AMERICAN COMPANY that proposes moving their DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING out of the U.S. should have to pay consequences in the form of a 35% tax ON THEIR IMPORTS which were PREVIOUSLY MADE in America. Every other country in the world levies fees and/or distributes government incentives to companies in order to protect their domestic manufacturing jobs. If we put our companies in an inferior bargaining position in the world market, that is not free trade, it is stupidity.

Then Mr Tracinski deliberately misinterprets other statements made by Mr Pence and Trump regarding the ‘free market’. Mr Pence states that America has losing in the market place. Anyone with a grain of intelligence that has listened to Trump knows that he has repeated many times that America is ‘losing in the marketplace’ because of stupid trade agreements that cripple American businesses ability to compete. Mr Tracinski misdirects the reader into believing that Mr Pence and Trump are saying that the free market fails ‘every time’. That is totally wrong. What they are saying is that the incompetents have set up trade agreements that screw America EVERY TIME.

More jobs!!!

Trump is still a month away from occupying the office of the president, but he continues to be heads and shoulders above Obama in caring, in effort, and in getting results. The latest news highlights are as follows. Trump has gotten a commitment from the Ford CEO to expand Ford's manufacturing facilities in the U.S. with the commitment that it will be concentrating on hiring American workers. Trump has gotten a commitment from an investment firm outside the U.S. to invest up to 50 billion dollars in American manufacturing facilities also committing to employ American workers. What a contrast to Obama's leading from behind philosophy employing no effort on Obama's part to protect American jobs. But what do you really expect? After all, expending any personal effort on his part would have probably interfered with Obama's constant golf vacations! It was much easier for Obama to simply repeat over and over, those jobs are gone, get over it, those jobs are gone, get over it!

The Democrats Pretension

Retired coal miners have a problem! The coal companies had told them that their health care would be provided when they retired. Guess what? Hillary and the democrats drove the coal mine companies out of business. Remember Hillary's quote, "We will be putting a lot of coal miners out of work!" Since the democrats drove the coal companies out of business, the companies are no longer able to provide health insurance for the retired coal miners. This is not the fault of the coal companies. The responsibility for the loss of insurance lies squarely on the democrats heads. So now what are the democrats doing? They are pretending that they are concerned about the coal miners' welfare. The democrats are making a lot of noise about ensuring that the government provides the miners with health insurance. Such a wonderful situation. The democrats cause a horrendous problem for retired American workers due to a lack of empathy or caring, then they act like they are the white knights riding in to save the day BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS CONCERNED. Give me a break! The problem was caused by purposeful, deliberate uncaring efforts by the democrats, and now they pretend to care!!! The only thought in their minds is to find some way to recover the votes of the people that they have treated so callously. The democrats consider themselves to be the 'elite' and will only stoop to associate with what they consider to be the 'rabble' in order to garner votes. Pretend to love us, then ignore us once they have gotten what they want. The hypocrisy is very transparent!

A Comparison

In June of 2016, the steelworkers union pleaded with Obama to intervene with Carrier to save American jobs. Obama's answer to the union was to say that those jobs were gone, and he said that there was nothing that he as President was able to do to save the jobs. I am sure that you have heard the latest news. Trump took a couple of days of effort and saved over 1000 American jobs at Carrier. It is really a shame that we did not have a decent President in power when Carrier first began to talk about moving to Mexico.

I have a simple question. President Obama (with the power, prestige, and influence of the office) either could not or WOULD NOT save those jobs. Which was it? Either he is terribly ineffective and therefore unable to do anything, or Obama flat DOES NOT CARE about American workers and made ZERO EFFORT. After all, President-elect Trump has much less influence and power, but HE CARES! To me, the overriding issue is that during his eight years Obama made no effort to save American jobs. Trump has already made much more effort with much, much more results than Obama, and he still has not assumed the office of President.
