America really is at a tipping point. Donald Trump is going to lose the coming election because he’s an idiot. In so doing, Trump’s failure will leave a legacy- the death of America as we know it. Sarah Palin would have run a better campaign. My Sheltie could have run a better campaign. This is real shame because people are dying to vote for someone out of the system. They are desperate for a fresh face- someone to represent them and not Wall St and billionaires. Trump blew it because he’s such as ass. America’s death spiral began with the election of barack obama. The corruption and lawlessness of the obama regime is nothing less than spectacular and the signs are everywhere. obama immediately began to assure his re-election by using the IRS to target conservatives and limit their freedom of speech. This malfeasance was widespread:
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials orchestrated a complex scheme to dump conservative and Tea Party non-profit applicants into a bureaucratic “black hole,” according to FBI documents made public Monday by a government watchdog group.
The documents describe how the IRS targeted the groups applying for tax exemptions beginning in 2010 and continuing beyond the 2012 election in a scandal that culminated in top agency official Lois Lerner’s retirement following a series of investigations.
The IRS has even destroyed hard drives after they were subpoenaed.
Eight months after Congress requested emails from embattled IRS official Lois Lerner, tax agency employees “magnetically erased” hundreds of backup tapes.
“The IRS did not put forth an effort to locate and preserve the backup tapes,” said Timothy Camus, deputy inspector general for investigations with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. He said 422 backup tapes were destroyed.
These are violations of the law. Who has been held accountable for any of this? No one. In fact, the IRS boss John Koskinen, chooses to ignore Congressional subpoenas and the DOJ does nothing.
Obama routinely violates the Constitution:
President Obama has shown a penchant for ignoring the plain language of our laws. He unilaterally rewrote the employer mandate and several other provisions of the Affordable Care Act, failing to faithfully execute a law which declares, unambiguously, that these provisions “shall” apply beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Similarly, in suspending deportation for a class of young people who entered this country illegally, the president defied the Immigration and Nationality Act, which states that any alien who is “inadmissible at the time of entry” into the country “shall” be removed.
The only strength gained by unilateral presidential lawmaking is raw speed: policies can be implemented more swiftly by unilateral presidential action than by congressional deliberation and debate. But the dangers are many, and should counsel any American — of whatever political persuasion — that such dispatch comes at a high constitutional cost.
When the president fails to execute a law as written, he not only erodes the separation of powers, he breeds disrespect for the rule of law and increases political polarization. The president’s own party — for example, the current Democrat-controlled Senate — will face intense pressure to elevate short-term, partisan victory over defending constitutional principles. If partisan preferences prevail, Congress will be unable, as an institution, to check presidential ambition and defend its lawmaking prerogative.
Once such precedent is established, damage to the constitutional architecture is permanent. The next president of a different party will face similar pressures and undo all the previous actions. He will initiate a new round of unilateral lawmaking, satisfying his own political base. The law will fluctuate back and forth, and our legislature will become little more than a rubber stamp for a single elected individual, which is not how representative government is supposed to work.
It’s gotten so bad that this regime is openly advertising to illegals how to dodge the laws.
Just about any illegal alien can avoid arrest by following these simple rules, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) advertises in a post on its website’s homepage.
Providing a virtual “how-to” guide for illegal aliens in its“Sensitive Locations FAQs,” CBP explains that immigration laws are not to be enforced at any of a wide range of designated “sensitive locations” – so that illegal aliens may be “free” to live their lives “without fear or hesitation”
James Comey has shown us that the FBI is toothless and impotent, unless it’s the political persecution of a conservative.
obama has severely damaged this nation and a President Hillary Clinton will finish the job. Tucker Carlson also has noted this:
“This is a pivot point in American history,” Carlson said. “If Hillary is elected – everyone is focused on her deficits as a person. The truth is it’s her policies. She’s going to open the borders, pack the Supreme Court and you are not going to have the same country. Maybe you like that, maybe you don’t. But we’re not going back to the status quo, period. And so Republicans need to understand if Trump loses, it is a new America, OK? A lot is on the line, whether you like him or not. That is real.”
They’ve already given us a peek into the future of a Clinton Presidency.
Clinton promised to rewrite the First Amendment
Hillary Clinton wants to win over Bernie Sanders voters, and on Saturday she bid for them by reinforcing her promise to rewrite the First Amendment to limit political speech that she and they don’t like.
“Today, I’m announcing that in my first 30 days as President, I will propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and give the American people—all of us—the chance to reclaim our democracy,” Mrs. Clinton said in a taped speech to the Netroots Nation conference of progressives. First 30 days? Who knew the 225-year-old First Amendment was in need of such urgent revision?
Snowflake liberals try to prevent conservatives from speaking at colleges Under a progressive Clinton they will be banned entirely.
Anyone in possession of a Confederate flag will be arrested and see his or her employment terminated.
Anyone engaging in anti-Muslim rhetoric will be prosecuted.
Genital mutilation will become acceptable as Islamic tradition.
Colleges will expand draconian restrictions of free speech.
Climate change deniers will be prosecuted.
Conservatives will routinely be assaulted in public.
Clinton will seize your guns:
“So I’m going to speak out. I’m going to do everything I can to rally people against this pernicious, corrupting influence of the NRA, and we’re going to do whatever we can. I’m proud when my husband took them on and we were able to ban assault weapons but he had to put a sunset on it so, 10 years later, of course, Bush wouldn’t agree to reinstate them. We’ve got to go after this. Here again, the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment and I am going to make that case every chance I get.”
And they’ve told us how it will go down:
If your goal is an outright gun ban, you need to use terms such as “common sense gun legislation” to fool the public, a Hillary Clinton campaign delegate admitted in a recent undercover sting video released exclusively to Infowars.
“Saying you want to ban guns altogether, that’s going to piss everybody off,” the Clinton alternate delegate, Mary Bayer, told a Project Veritas reporter.
Instead, Bayer revealed, Democrats use “moderate” language when it comes to guns to obscure their true purpose, a complete elimination of the Second Amendment.
“You have to take that sort of moderate… ‘We just wanna have common sense legislation so our children are safe!’” Bayer told the reporter, adding, “You say shit like that, and then people will buy into it.”
Bayer also admitted Hillary “for sure” would support banning guns, and said the only way to actualize that goal would be to “get Democrats in office.”
But before that a gun owner database will be established and all legal owners will be tracked. That’s actually happening now.
If it sounds over the top, remember- who’s going to stop her? Who has stopped obama? obama ignores Supreme Court decisions. Clinton’s likely to be nominating several to SCOTUS and will be choosing from a Who’s Who of progressives. Nothing will be found unconstitutional. Illegals will be given the right to vote the second they cross the border. What are now progressive aspirations will become realities.
The GOP will disappear. America will be a one party country, just like Russia. This country will not be recognizable.
All thanks to Donald Trump.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Greg: I’m really sorry your political party is dead, your beloved president was such a complete loser, it would have been better for the country had he been the person the media said he was. Everything was a lie, the numbers the polls the hype a big fat lie. They have been lying to all of us, for most of us, all our lives. If you stopped looking they dont count you on the unemployment roster if you work 2 part time jobs you are counted twice on the employed roster http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-23/top-white-house-economist-admits-94-all-new-jobs-under-obama-
People just cant live his way anymore yes Grumpy cat would have taken the electoral college if he said he would try to get the people full time jobs at ok pay, and not steal your tax refund cause you cant afford the non health care non optional, or you happen to make a little more than you expected and have to pay back the some of subsidy they gave you. THEFT, FORCE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Greg
I know we will never open your eyes, but if your alternative universe is comfortable and you are happy, that is all that counts.
@MMinLamesa, #104:
There is no credible evidence whatsoever that suggests anything in that statement is true. It is, in fact, complete, total crap, made up and propagated by the alternative right media. The only references you can find for it are similar media outlets, which are doing nothing more than echoing a propaganda meme. You might eventually trace it back to some source making a deceptive statement such as this one:
No, that IS NOT what the BLS has determined to be the “real unemployment rate.” The BLS figure is the 4.9 percent that they actually reported. 4.9 percent is the U3 number, which is the same figure that has always been reported as the official unemployment rate.
The right’s newfound fixation on the U6 number is an effort to turn generally good news into generally bad for political purposes. There has always been a U6 number, which has always been higher than the U3 number. That number is also presently much improved, and is back within the normal historically accepted range. Like the U3 rate, it climbed like a skyrocket as a result of the 2007-2008 recession, was at an alarming level at the point when Obama took over, and has continuously improved since then. That number, too, has been charted year by year; plotted on a graph from 1994 to present, it’s obvious that it has also improved enormously during the years Obama has been in office.
The fact that all problems have not been solved does not mean there hasn’t been enormous improvement. There’s plenty of opportunity for Trump to do better; there’s also plenty of opportunity for him to screw things up royally, and make the Obama years look good by comparison.
@Greg:
what is the right media an alternative to? the left media? So it’s also proper to refer to the left media as the alternative left media? Kinda redundant though, seems as if the average person would already consider the right media as an alternative to the left media, and vice versa. Doesn’t the term ‘right’ media imply that it’s not the ‘left’ media?
If the labor participation rate used to be 66% but it’s now only 62 %, what happened to the 4 %? They just suddenly got so rich they just don’t want a job anymore? Or it’s women that married a rich guy that already had a job, so she just doesn’t want a job? Explain to us how the total number of working age persons increases, the total number actually working goes down and the number of unemployed persons goes down. Let’s use some real numbers from YOUR chart. There are 321 millions persons, there are 124 million employed full time, there are 27 million part time employed so 151/321 =47% of the people are working. The average worker works 34 hours per week. So even though out of 321 million people, only 151 million are working, the number listed as ‘unemployed’ is 7.4 million then they divide that 7.4 by the 151 million that that comes out to 4.8%. So the unemployed rate is calculated based on the number of persons still eligible for unemployment benefits divided by the number of working people and has nothing to do with all the people that are not working because they can’t find a job. gov numbers indicate that they consider about 250 million to be the work force, the remaining retired or too young. But what isl the unemployment rate. Using their own numbers of 250 million that should be working vs the 151 that is actually working 34 hours a week means that the unemployment is 99/250 =39.6% unemployed and when corrected for the low number hours per employee, the actual unemployment rate is 128/250 =51%.
Now Greg, you can put a suit on a pig and maybe even add some lipstick, but it’s still gonna be a pig. I don’t know how they calculated it 50 years ago, but the unemployment in the USA at the current time, using US Labor Dept numbers is approx 51%. So the number you’re quoting needs another layer of lipstick
