Trump's support feels low energy compared to 2016: Even Obama received millions fewer votes the second time around
Tweet. Cave. Repeat. Equals 2020 Defeat. :
The Left is energized while Trump's support feels low energy compared to 2016. Even Obama received millions fewer votes his second term.
Feds bust document forgery operation active for more than a decade in "primarily Hispanic town" . . . in Oregon
"The fraud ring
operated in Woodburn for more than a decade and produced over 10,000
fraudulent documents that they distributed in Woodburn or mailed to
customers around the United States," U.S. Attorney Billy Williams and
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Sax said in the plea agreement posted
Tuesday in court documents. Previous detailed court documents remain
under seal.
The Fraud Doc
Ring communicated with customers using Facebook, email, Snapchat and in
person, the plea deal states. Customers emailed, texted or mailed the
ring digital passport-style photos for insertion into the fake ID cards,
or visited a clandestine photography lab in Woodburn where their photos
were taken, the plea agreement says. Customers paid electronically
through PayPal, through the mail or in person.
In the
apartment, agents found dozens of security images and seals used in
legitimate identification documents. They also found stored digital
photos of more than 4,000 customers. The Fraud Doc
Ring produced a wide array of documents, including drivers' licenses for
over 25 different states, Social Security cards, lawful permanent
resident cards, U.S. and Mexican birth certificates and marriage
licenses.

Beto, your next president, had a pretty sick imagination about mowing down kids with his car when he was a teenager
Beto's got a car thing going. Car as a weapon (Jihadi much?). DUI. Driving around with the window open, looking for himself. Asking for gas money for the minivan campaign.
I don't want this guy driving anything, especially the country.
Another t-file from O’Rourke, written when he was 15, is a short and disturbing piece of fiction. “One day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles…. This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams.
“As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.”

Lazy Fox News story details violence trend in houses of worship, totally ignores global targeting of Christians by Muslims
In the last year alone over 500 Christians across the globe have been targeted and killed by Muslims in 62 separate incidents through March 11th, but Fox News decides four incidents involving whitey killing Jews, Baptists, blacks and Sikhs since 2012 constitutes the true trend.
Get an effing clue.
Paul Ryan declares The Body Snatchers victorious in their capture of @realdonaldtrump
"Trump's" record is why you idiots lost the House four months ago.
And the intellekshuls think Beto's the empty vessel.

Gotta give it to Trump here, his lizard brain has scared the open borders Republicans out of the bushes for everyone to see
They think he is weak (he is), but the Republican base is ready to feed on the flesh of these bastards as much as is the lizard himself.
These Republican traitors don't give a damn about the Constitution, the separation of powers, infringement of those powers by the executive, or anything else.
These are your open borders Republicans in the US Senate, America, pure and simple:
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Susan Collins of
Maine, Mike Lee of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio,
Mitt Romney of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida, Patrick J. Toomey of
Pennsylvania, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and
Mr. Jerry Moran of Kansas.
The most notable one is Mitt Romney, since he ran for president on a platform of turning off the immigration magnets. A shape-shifter on just about everything else conservative, this vote proves Romney was never on our side on anything and could never be counted on.

ICE officers diverted from their jobs by DHS, assisting Border Patrol in catch-and-release of illegals, which is now in overdrive under Trump
ICE officers who endorsed President Trump in 2016 now say he has failed to follow through on his get-tough promises, saying catch-and-release of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. is not only still happening, but has gone into “overdrive.”

Trump's lizard brain telegraphed over and over and over again that he would betray his own followers
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in"
LOL Larry Kudlow: 22,000 new payrolls in February 2019 "fluky", but 54,000 in May 2011 "meager", economy "sputtering", possibly a sign of recession
In recent weeks, a whole bunch of new economic stats have been pointing to a sputtering economy -- maybe even an inflation-prone, less-than-2-percent-growth recession. Stocks have dropped five straight weeks, as they look toward slower growth, jobs, and profits out to year end. And Friday's jobs report didn't buck these trends.
"Anemic" is the adjective being tossed around the media. According to the Labor Department, nonfarm payrolls increased a meager 54,000 in May, while private payrolls gained only 83,000. A week or two ago, Wall Street expected 200,000-plus new jobs. Didn't happen.
I remember when Trump promised a 10% spending cut in Jan 2017, now Kudlow announces a 5% cut after Republicans spend us blind: 100% politics, 0% serious
Trump to whack DC with 10% cut to discretionary spending, 20% cut to personnel
What a crock that turned out to be.
Federal employment is exactly in Feb 2019 where it was in Nov 2016: 2.799 million.
And outlays? Look at the outlays!
Outlays in fiscal 2017 were up 3.3% from 2016, up another 4.8% in 2018, and up again in fiscal 2019 a whopping 5.6%.
Overall for fiscal 2019 spending is up 14.4% from 2016.
Just in time for the next election cycle, however, Larry Kudlow is out promising a spending cut of 5%.
Total BS.
Did Billy Cunningham mention the Trumpster's lousy February jobs number last night?
If he did I must have missed it.
20,000 jobs in February, worst performance in 9 years, but Billy Cunningham blathered on about how socialism fails and how Americans enjoy a high standard of living because of great companies like Kroger, Amazon and Walmart. No mention of this huge anomaly in the Trumpster's so-called economic boom.
I can remember when Walmart was widely perceived as the enemy by wide swaths of America because it destroyed mom and pop stores wherever it decided to leave its giant footprint. Walmart defended itself against this opposition with its "Buy American" policy, but those days are long gone now. Walmart and Amazon are now storefronts for Communist China and the globalism which took away America's best jobs for ordinary folks. And the tax breaks generally provided by state and local governments these days to get big businesses to locate where they are is hardly capitalism, but favoritism, state capitalism and fascism. Too much of American life is now the people vs. government and business allied together against them.
But more to the point is that Billy Cunningham's idea of a great America is an America that consumes, whereas the Protestant ethic which truly made America great was the one where people saved, invested and consumed beneath their means. I guess that ethic is not part of the Sunday homily at Billy's church.
It has been because of losing touch with this real meaning and practice of capitalism which has produced the moribund economic conditions where socialism now appears more attractive to growing numbers of Americans for whom capitalism-light has failed to deliver.
Too bad Billy doesn't really get it.
Whites are over 77% of the population, but received just 7% of the net new jobs since the Great Recession as of Feb 2019

Using the historical average of labor participation, 2.3 million more people age 16-24 should have been in the labor force in 2018 than were
The civilian labor force level of people age 16-24 averaged almost 21 million in 2018, 55.2% of the civilian noninstitutional population age 16-24 averaging 38 million. Upping the participation rate simply to the average of 61.2% for all the years shown in the graph below would have raised their labor force level to 23.3 million, 2.3 million higher than actual.
Too bad for them, the low paying jobs they need to get work experience and a leg up on life are being taken by immigrants imported by the millions by the two political parties.
