Trump: Join Me in Honoring the Critical Role of Women in America

Trump: Join Me in Honoring the Critical Role of Women in America



On Wednesday, which is today, which is called International Women's Day, President Trump took time on Twitter to honor and express his respect for women and he gave them credit for the vita roles they play in American society.  International Women's Day has been celebrated since the early 1990's.
Since Donald Trump's inauguration, there have been numerous women in Hollywood that have been protesting Trump's inauguration and have been saying that he will roll back the gains many women have made in the work force for the last few decades.  My response to many of the women critics of Donald Trump is to find out how many women are employed in the Trump Organization and what positions many of them occupy.  I believe that will say something in regards to Trump's view on women contributing to the work force.  I'm certain there are scores of women that are employed at the Trump Organization and I'm certain many of them are in high-level positions.  Trump's oldest daughter Ivanka was one of the top leaders in running the Trump Organization prior to the election last year.  I know Trump's first wife Ivana was a career woman. Some of the comments that many of the Hollywood women have made as well as many leading feminists is just plain nonsense.  I'm not insinuating that Trump doesn't have a problem with women in some capacity.  He's been married three times so that should say something.  And I'm fully aware of the locker room comments he made about women to Billy Bush.  He was in the wrong there.  But to make the allegation that Trump will roll back the gains women have made in the work force the last few decades is nonsense.  He doesn't have a problem with working women.  He has women in his cabinet such as Betsy DeVos and Elaine Chao.  He does support working women.

House GOP Releases Bill Replacing Obama Health Care Overhaul

House GOP Releases Bill for Replacement for Obamacare

House Republicans on Monday released their long-awaited plan to replace Obamacare, which is a bill which would roll back the government's role in health care and possibly leave more Americans uninsured.  The 123-page bill could launch this year's defining battle in Congress.  The plan is expected to cover fewer than 20 million Americans than Obamacare, including residents of state which Trump won in 2016.  The plan would repeal the statute's unpopular fines on people  who don't possess health care coverage.  It would replace income-based premium subsidies in the law with age-based subsidies, which may not provide as much assistance to people with low incomes.  The payments would phase out for higher earning people.

The proposal would continue the expansion of Medicaid to lower-earning Americans until 2020.  After that, states adding Medicaid recipients would no longer receive the additional federal funds that Obama's health care law provides.  A series of tax increases on higher earning people, the insurance industry, and others used to finance Obama's overhaul coverage expansion would be repealed as of 2018.  Popular consumer protections in Obama's health care law would be retained such as pre-existing medical problems, and parents' ability to keep their young adult children on their healthcare coverage until age 26.  Click on the above link from Newsmax to read the full story.

Obama's Intelligence Chief Says No Evidence of Trump-Russian Collusion

Obama's Intelligence Chief Says No Evidence of Trump-Russian Collusion

 Former President Obama and former Intelligence Chief James Clapper

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who was in that position during the Obama administration, denied any knowledge of wiretapping of then presidential candidate Donald Trump last year during the election.  In an assertion receiving considerably less press attention, Clapper also acknowledged that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian.  The Democrats have been accusing President Trump of being in collusion with Russia during the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee last year.  Clapper appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday, which was a day after that President Trump alleged on Twitter that then-president Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped before the election.  Clapper claimed that the intelligence agencies he foresaw as DNI, the CIA, the FBI Intelligence branch and the National Security Agency didn't conduct any wiretapping activity nor was there a FISA court order for wiretapping.  I believe there's more to this story than what meets the eye.  Click on CNSNews.com to read the full story.

Gallup: 62% of Americans Say Trump Keeps His Promises

Gallup: 62% of Americans Say Trump Keeps His Promises

President Trump

According to a recent Gallup poll from February 1-5, 2017, 62% of Americans say that Trump keeps the promises that he's made.  59% believe Trump is a strong and decisive leader.  53% also believe he can make the kind of changes that need to be made.  However, only 44% believes that Trump inspires confidence in the American people.  The characteristics that the American people apply to Trump are reflected in his inaugural address a few weeks ago as well as actions he's taken since becoming president. 

Consequently, many Americans don't view his honesty in a very positive light, echoing the presidential campaign last year between him and his rival Hillary Clinton.  There's a major gap in opinion amongst the Democrats and Republicans concerning Trump's honesty.  91% of Republican voters believe Trump keeps his promises whereas 36% of Democratic voters believe so.  While 94% of Republicans believe Trump is a strong and decisive leader, only 29% of Democrats believe so.  Concerning Trump's honesty only 81% of Republicans believe he is.  9% of Democrats say Trump is trustworthy.  Click on the above link to read the story.

Trump Was Told in January That Flynn Misled Pence

Trump Was Told in January That Flynn Misled Pence

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn

President Trump was told in late January that Michael Flynn, his National Security Adviser, had misled Vice-president Mike Pence concerning contacts he had with a Russian official.  Three weeks later, Flynn was ousted from his position.  Press Secretary Sean Spicer stated the reason for his firing was more driven by Flynn's misleading Pence rather than the legality of his speaking to the Russian official prior to Trump's inauguration.  Spicer stated Trump withheld judgment on Flynn until the White House counsel's office conducted a review of the legal issues raised by the calls.  Some say that Trump's friendly gesture toward Russia deepens questions about the incident. 

Such conversations supposedly breach protocol and violate the Logan Act, which states that private citizens can't conduct U.S. diplomacy.  However,  Flynn had already been tapped to be the next national security adviser in November.  I believe it's a technicality that the left are using to find something to nail Trump with.  I believe part of the reason for Flynn's ouster is because I believe Trump doesn't want an unnecessary distraction from the media with the battle he's already fighting on his immigration ban.  Trump had been conspicuously quiet about Flynn's standing with the administration for several days, then he took to Twitter and posed said the real story is "Why are there so many illegal leaks in Washington?"  I listened to radio talk show host Sean Hannity yesterday and after interviewing certain guests, discussed that those leaks could come from someone in the intelligence community.
