Tariffs Are Essentially to a Robust American Economy

I know there's been much controversy recently concerning President Trump implementing tariffs on steel and aluminum and on goods imported from China.  President Trump is definitely making the right call.  I know radio talk show hosts such as Glenn Beck have been claiming that these tariffs will spark a trade war but the truth of the matter is we've been having trade wars as a result of these faulty trade agreements that have been made under former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush as well as Barack Obama with the Trans-Pacific Partnership which was signed by President Obama but didn't become ratified.  Thank God for that.  The purpose for tariffs in a historical context was to protect the industry of that particular nation.  That's what the United States has done since the beginning of the Republic and it continued for years to come.  As a result, American industry grew to unprecedented heights.  The United States has shown over the years that if the capitalistic systems isn't hindered by excessive government regulation or trade agreements which send millions of American jobs overseas, it can do great wonders.  That's why so many immigrants from other countries in Europe and the Far East have sailed to America's shores to live in America.  They knew the economic opportunities in American were endless.  That's why they sailed to America's shores.  They not only moved to America in search of better economic opportunity, but they assimilated into our culture and learned the language and did everything they could to become an American. 

President Trump may be far from perfect, but he is right on target with the tariffs he is implementing on steel, aluminum, and goods from China.  If America's economy is going to thrive and grow like it needs to, then we need the tariffs to protect America's economy.

Trump Addresses Sarah Sanders/Red Hen Controversy

Trump Addresses Sarah Sanders/Red Hen Controversy


White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders

In one of President Trump's morning tweets, he addressed the swirling controversy around his press secretary Sarah Sanders, who was asked to leave the restaurant which is called Red Hen Restaurant from Lexington, Virginia last Friday evening.  She was asked to leave the restaurant because she works for President Trump and the restaurant's owner and staff don't like President Trump.  Trump stated the Red Hen Restaurant needs to focus on cleaning its filthy windows, canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job).  He said they needed to do that instead of refusing to serve a fine person such as Sarah Sanders.  He said he has a rule if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, then it's dirty on the inside.  It's tragic.  I wouldn't waste my time at a restaurant like that.  As much as I don't care for the last few former Presidents, I would refuse service to them or their staff because I strongly disagree with them politically.  I encourage Sarah Sanders not to darken that place again.  Click on the above link to read the full story.

Trump to Meet Tuesday With GOP Representatives to Talk Amnesty, Wall, Immigratioin

Trump to Meet With GOP Representative About Amnesty, Wall, Immigration

amnesty

Trump will meet with GOP leaders tomorrow about the two pending amnesty bills in the House.  This will be a serious meeting.  It's fearful Trump will likely compromise on this bill which will offer sweeping changes to the nation's immigration laws.  The bill offers work permits for 700,000 illegals and the "moderate" bill offers amnesty to a population of at least 1.8 million illegals plus green cards for a few hundred thousand foreign guest-workers.  Click on the above link from Breitbart to read the read the full story.

8 States That Will Determine Which Party Will Control House of Representatives

8 States That Will Determine Which Party Will Control House of Representatives

Of the 435 House seats, 336 seats aren't competitive--180 held by Democrats, 156 held by Republicans.  Only 15 of the 99 House seats that are competitive are held by Democrats, whereas 84 competitive seats are held by Republicans.  Republicans have 69 more seats that are at risk in the competitive districts.  Democrats, on the other hand have much fewer non-competitive seats.  You can thank the leadership of House Speaker Paul Ryan and the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the Republican Party for being at the risk they are politically.  They deserve to lose.  The GOP has fought against Trump on the issues that Trump was on the right side such as repealing the Affordable Act, and the building of the border wall, to name a few.  I don't feel sorry for the GOP.  The voters are tired of fraudulent Republicans pretending to support issues the mainstream of Americans support.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.
