This ain't no party, no disco, or reality TV Show. This is real life and is now affecting the lives of all Americans and the future of the greatest nation on earth.

Politics is an expression of power relationships. Conversely, the act of imitation reflects the power of an image or its economic or social attributes over the imitator. Imitation is at the heart of much art. It may be driven by various impulses. The love of beauty, peer pressure, adoration, even forgery or the most popular money.

Perfection of Dereliction?

Submitted by ub on

He promised anyone who would listen that he would hire the best people. Is he kidding or does he assume all Americans are stupid? He also said the US would get tired of winning. He was half right, we are all very tired.

Why has he praised Putin and Xi, but attacked Rerpublicsn, Democrats, and his hand-picked cabinet members?
Conspicuously absent from POTUS many statements are any proof about all the Americans who might benefit. http://over.doseofnews.com/

Winter Whammy

This is a fair weather warning of an event with a powerful and unpleasant blow that will bring winds and plenty of snow. Oh no, say it ain't so?

Another extremely powerful Nor'easter is rumbling across the central US bringing heavy snow and blizzard conditions to the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest and elevated to critical fire weather conditions across the rest of the plains.

There is an elevated fire weather risk in southwest California. Another coastal low will impact the Middle Atlantic and New England with heavy snow, gusty winds, and coastal flooding.

The phrase says don't mess with Texas and everything is bigger in the Longhorn State as its fixing to hold the nation’s first primary election of 2018.

Early voting turnout has GOP weary and worried. Democratic turnout for the 2018 midterm primaries in the state's 15 largest counties was twice as high as the totals in 2014, outstripping the Republicans in urban counties in the GOP stronghold.

USA Trade Trap

Submitted by ub on

Whatever happened to the artful deal? Who claimed to be a star negotiator? Why does @POTUS like trade wars and is reportedly planning to impose up to 25% tariffs on imported steel and 10% on aluminum as his attempt to save US industry?

Tariffs may bring instant cheers but stoke industry full of fears of trade wars this year, rising costs and layoffs across #USA.

The fear is that it could raise costs on everything from airplanes to beer cans. The wider worry is the potential for retaliatory measures by other countries that could hurt exports and jobs.

'This is Me' Anthem

Submitted by ub on

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hideaway, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Runaway, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Gridiron Dinner

POTUS went along for the ride with movers and shakers of the mainstream media he lashes out against at Washington’s annual Gridiron dinner last night.

A white-tie gala is the type of event he's shunned since taking office. But what was supposed to be a good-natured bread-breaking between the president and press could become a flashpoint if Trump, who has labeled reporters “fake news” and the enemies of the American people. His jokes may have rung true saying ‘I like chaos’

Why have Americans allowed chaos to become the new normal for our White House as President Trump's Tweets and comments about tariffs, taking guns away and so many other outrageous things to say? He has been making questionable decisions, attacking his chosen advisors and losing hope, while distracting the whole world from so many other important news coming out of the West Wing.
