Here's How Dishonest "America's" Media is...
Donald Trump & the Disabled Reporter. The whole truth and not the spin...
The media knew ALL of this and went with this smear anyway. THAT'S how dishonest and corrupt "America's media" really is.
Amazingly Enough...
Trump as "President Elect" has brought more JOBS back to the U.S. then Bill Clinton, G. W. Bush & Barack Obama combined! (http://247wallst.com/special-report/2016/04/19/manufacturersbringingthemostjobsbacktoamerica/)
ANY ONE of them could have done the SAME, by merely threatening to tax and tariff their foreign-made goods, it COULD HAVE been written into NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, the TPP, etc.
BUT it wasn't.
NOR did "America's MEDIA" champion anything like that. I wonder WHY?
Oh yeah! They're a collective and collectivist mouthpiece for globalists/internationalists that DON'T have the American people's interest at heart.
This Makes me Feel Bad for All People of African Descent Who Love America, Work in and/or Support Law Enforcement...
Rep. John Lewis and CBC
Are Defending...
THIS
...Because clowns like these in the CBC seem to be doing their level best to paint Black America as anti-cop and anti-American, when most are NOT! (http://freedomdaily.com/black-democrats-anti-cop-artwork/)
This kind of spectacle (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/congress-artwork-animals-cops-congressional-black-caucus-gop-233409) is just sad.
The LIE That President Obama Was Stifled by GOP Opposition
In his first two years Barack Obama had a Democratic House and Senate (http://wiredpen.com/resources/political-commentary-and-analysis/a-visual-guide-balance-of-power-congress-presidency/)...and all he got done was ramming through a very flawed healthcare Bill (the ACA).
Likewise, from 2003 to 2007, G W Bush had a Republican House and Senate...and got little done. He did hang Sarbanes-Oxley a ham-handed response to the 2001 financial scandals (Enron, Tyco, Adelphia, Arthur Andersen, etc. which resulted in the vaunted "Jobless Recovery."
Now, Trump will have at least 2 years with both Houses of Congress in GOP hands. Unfortunately for him, the establishment GOP reviles Trump even more than most Democrats...and for better reasons.
Arizona and South Carolina SHOULD do the rest of the nation a favor and get rid of John McCain, who disgraced himself and his Party in the 2008 election and Lindsay Graham, respectively. THAT would be a nice start.

The Difference Between Jobs and Positions
The public-sector is NECESSARY, but must also NECESSARILY
be limited...very limited.
Public-sector positions (teachers, firefighters,
police, etc.) are paid for by the productivity and profitability of the
private-sector.
To date, no country has been able to sustain a
strong public-sector without a vibrant private-sector. The poorer a nation is
the smaller and less compensated is its public-sector. No government has been
able to figure out how to produce food, clothing, cars, computers, housing,
etc. outside the private sector.
Venezuela took over that nation’s once private and
very profitable oil industry and ruined it, plunging that nation into a
socialist-driven nightmare. I know that as far as Socialism/Capitalism go, I’m
probably “preaching the choir,” as throughout my own American education I’ve
never run across a single educator willing to make the case for Collectivism
(Socialism, Communism, etc.), but it’s important for us to understand the
symbiotic relationship of the public sector to the private sector. That is, the
public-sector lives/feeds off the life-sustaining productivity of the private-sector.
For that reason, public-sector workers and officials
SHOULD fight to limit, even minimize
the public sector’s workforce.
As an example, OVER
$1 TRILLION has been pretty much wasted since 1971 on America's "War
on Drugs," with judges, prosecutors, court, probation, corrections
officers and police officers benefiting the most. That's produced tens of
thousands of unnecessary positions in those areas, but drug use has only
increased over that period. That’s a failure and a waste of vital resources.
NOT
that this $1 TRILLION should have been spent on education, or roads and
infrastructure, etc., although the latter could've used some more attention
over the past 40+ years, but would've best been left with the taxpaying entities
that it was taken from, because there it would’ve been reinvested in expanding
our industries, creating more good private-sector jobs and increasing the
actual tax revenues of the country.
Private-sector enterprises create products and thus
jobs. Jobs are paid employment in the
production of goods and services sold and used here and around the globe.
Positions are government-created employment that produce no actual revenue. A
firefighter who is paid $60,000/year and gives back $25,000 of that
compensation back in the form of city, state and local taxes does NOT really "increase the tax
revenues," in the sense that ALL
of that compensation (that full $60,000) is drawn from tax revenues, so that
portion going back into the government in taxes, merely reduces the net cost of
that position.
I’ve held a position in the public-sector for over
three decades, with deep gratitude for the private-sector profits and tax
revenues that made that possible. That said, and probably because of that
gratitude, I’ve never wanted the FDNY to increase its membership. In my view, it
SHOULD always remain a small, elite
workforce of people dedicated to fighting fires and responding to emergencies
within that City. The same should be said for all other public-sector
departments.
I support the idea that Municipalities should live
up to the promises they’ve made in the form of pension and benefits. It’s hard
to support the idea that a Municipality should be able to enter into poor deals
that eventually threaten to bankrupt that Municipality and allow those
Municipalities to then back out of those bad deals. That amounts to negotiating
in bad faith in its earlier contract deals. That said, politicians SHOULDN'T be allowed to use bankruptcy threats or State Constitutional Conventions to abandon earlier deals made in good-faith.
However, bad deals that overburden taxpayers and are
unsustainable shouldn’t ever be allowed to be made. We need politicians to
consistently put taxpayer funds ahead of public-sector demands. Either that, or
perhaps all public-sector contracts should be cleared via public referendum.

The NAZIS of the American Left
.
Note that they call Milo Yiannopoulos, who is
himself gay, “transphobic.”
Transgenderism is NOT an accepted classification. Many mental health professionals
continue to view it as a mental illness. As Milo notes in an article, “In fact, trans campaigners are insistent that it remain classified as a
disorder, whatever the euphemistic language now used in diagnostic manuals,
because without disorder status the disproportionately low-income trans sufferers
wouldn’t have a case for state-funded surgery.”
Here’s the horrific thing about this anti-free
speech campaign. Freedom of Expression means that Nazis, Communists, pro-gay
and anti-gay have every right to their views and access to the platforms from
which to express them.
That last part has been under attack by anti-1st
Amendment forces for decades now.
NO
ONE owns, or CAN own the platforms of expression. That
is, our newspapers, TV and radio stations exist by right of THE PEOPLE. The government doesn’t have
ownership because the government is bared from such ownership by our Bill of
Rights. What about the shareholders of those various entities, they, as
individuals, have no right to bar views they deem “offensive,” because their
existence is by permission of ALL
the people...pro-gay, pro Nazi, pro-Communist and anti-gay. In that regard, the
media has no right to filter (censor) ANY
views, no matter how “offensive,” or “bizarre.”

Smerconish's WRONG Call
Michael Smerconish
Unspoken BUT very clearly stated in this video is that Michael Smerconish believes ANYONE who supports ANY political ideology, Left, Right, or Center on their time away from work SHOULD BE fired, "It's the right call." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXoPOR8NpqU)
Aramark has every right to fire any "at will" employee, for any reason, or no reason at all. That’s what "at will" means, BUT firing people over controversial or unpopular views is NOT "the right call."
Should Aramark now be pressured to fire any vendor who supports Black Lives Matter (BLM), the Aryan Nation, the Black Israelites, the Libertarian Party, PETA?
ALL of those groups are controversial and hold to many unpopular, even objectionable views.
No, this wasn't "the right call." What's more, for consistency sake it MUST lead to Aramark scouring the social media of all its employees in order to, in effect, "balance the books."
I, like millions of other Americans, see BLM as a "Hate Group," and I DO find much of their anti-cop, racist anti-white views highly objectionable, but I no more support the firing of a BLM supporters for expressing their views away from work than I do the firing of "Pistachio Girl."
That said, I DO support any group now coming forward to put pressure on Aramark to be consistent...to scour their worker's social media pages to "balance the ideological books," so they DON'T appear as they actually do favor some controversial and objectionable views over others.
