Submitted by ub on

The last 3 GOP presidents left Oval Office with higher deficits than when they were sworn in.

Both Democrat presidents left with lower deficits than when they walked in.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Trump is on track for a 2020 deficit to be 50% higher than 2017.

They're Back in Session

Congress is back to work, but only for two weeks before they take another vacation? This bicameral legislature of the Federal government of the United States, which consists of The Senate and The House of Representatives seems to spend more time off than they do working.

The law-making branch of our national government shares power with the president and the Supreme Court. The writers of the U.S. Constitution thought Congress was so important, they are listed first, so why is it they like to drag their heels and act last?

FAUSTUS

Submitted by ub on

This story could be one of the older conspiracy theories out there, for those who enjoy reading these old tales.

Faustus turns to magic and makes a perilous deal with the Devil in which he commits his soul to eternal damnation in return for power. But he is arrogant and reckless. Can Faust wield these powers and resist the temptations of the Devil?

The story of Faust, who strikes a deal with the devil and enjoys riches and success during his life on Earth and at the end he will give his body over to Lucifer as payment and spend the rest of time as one damned to Hell.

Hyperbole Presidency

Submitted by ub on

The Greeks used hyperbole, also known as exaggerations. The word is related to hyperballen, to throw over or beyond," from hyper- beyond + bole a throwing, a casting, the stroke of a missile, bolt, beam, from a nominative of Ballen "to throw". OK, do you know what it means when folks call it BS?

Do you have a good B.S. detector? You need one in our digital age. Spotting false information rubbish, lies, nonsense or, fake news is essential in this day and age.

Have you noticed a #POTUS pattern being used here? Do you know about the boy who cried wolf?

USA Revolution

Submitted by ub on

Americans are not only unhappy, the eagle has landed and the people have begun to stand up to take the nation back before its too late. Too many have perished and the deaths have sparked a #USA Revolution.

The young people are marching in the streets in a grassroots effort to demand change which will only occur by removing irresponsible politicians by electing true representatives of the people, by the people, for the people, who shall no longer perish.

The People Vote

Submitted by ub on

American Voters in Pennsylvania and Tennessee not only determine the outcome of two special elections today but if Democrats are able to flip any of many disappointed Trump supporters, it may be an ominous sign for The GOP.

Who's Afraid of The NRA?

Submitted by ub on

President Trump, after calling for raising the minimum legal age to purchase all guns to age 21 during a meeting with lawmakers on guns and school safety suggested that those who are staying silent on the topic are "afraid" to come up against the NRA. White House disputes claim that Trump "chickened out" on gun proposals over NRA pressure http://hill.cm/m8vyN7c

So why has POTUS made an about-face and backed off his call to raise the minimum age to purchase guns? Who's more talk and less action? Is it all about theatrics? http://abcn.ws/2t3sYqv

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/

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.

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.
