    CNN aired audio of former President Donald Trump swearing and discussing weapon systems with journalist Bob Woodward Tuesday on “Anderson Cooper 360.” Trump said, “I have built a weapons system that nobody has ever had in this country before. We have stuff you haven’t even seen or ever heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before.”
  • Our profane president: Report says Biden fond of dropping the f-bomb

    As one might expect from a Democrat, President Biden isn’t afraid to work blue. Politico reported Thursday that Biden — once caught on a hot mic calling the passage of ObamaCare a “big f—ing deal” — regularly uses profanity in meetings with West Wing aides, displaying a particular fondness for “f—.” Variations on the theme, according to the outlet’s West Wing Playbook email newsletter, include the phrases “f— them,” “What the f— are we doing?” and “Why the f— isn’t this happening?”. However, the report adds, Biden never uses the four-letter word as a verb.

    American viewers abandon TV nutcases by the millions...so, methinks no "Blue Wave" for the Democrat Party is really in sight. Could it be we are being fed the "Big Brother Media Fake News Routine"? What up, folks out there in the American heertlands? Destroy the current Democrat Party politcally, get out and vote for all Trump backed candidates in the upcoming Mid-Term elections.

  • Shock: Americans’ Wages Dropping Fast in 2016

    Federal data released Aug. 9 shows that Americans’ wages are dropping again, seven years after President Barack Obama declared the economy had recovered from the property-bubble — and three months before the 2016 election. The dramatic drop was buried in an Aug. 9 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which said that officials have radically revised their prior claim that wages grew 4.2 percent in the first quarter, from January to March. “Real hourly compensation decreased 0.4 percent after revision, rather than the previously-published increase of 4.2 percent,” the BLS admitted. Compensation also fell another 1.4 percent in the...
  • Thousands Of Consumers Get Insurance Cancellation Notices Due To Health Law Changes

    Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies. The main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1. An estimated 14 million people purchase their own coverage because they don’t get it through their jobs. Calls to insurers in several states showed that many have sent notices. Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual...

    In a letter to several pro-life groups complaining about President Barack Obama’s decision to drop some of the conscience protections for medical professionals, the administration is defending the decision. Several pro-life groups sent a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius warning her of the alarming effects on patients that will follow the Obama administration’s recent move to strip the medical community of key conscience protections on abortion. As LifeNews.com reported in February, the Obama administration overturned some of the conscience protections the Bush administration put in place to protect pro-life medical workers who don’t want to be involved in certain...

    NYT ^ | 10/6/10 | reed abelson
    As Obama administration officials put into place the first major wave of changes under the health care legislation, they have tried to defuse stiffening resistance — from companies like McDonald’s and some insurers — by granting dozens of waivers to maintain even minimal coverage far below the new law’s standards. The waivers have been issued in the last several weeks as part of a broader strategic effort to stave off threats by some health insurers to abandon markets, drop out of the business altogether or refuse to sell certain policies.

    UPDATE: A senior House Source confirms to Fox News that "deem and pass is dead" Developing.. Fox News has learned that House Democrats are considering dropping a controversial parliamentary ploy to pass the Senate's version of the health care bill before the House begins on a second "fix-it" resolution, known as reconciliation. Senior House Democratic sources indicate that there is an ongoing discussion about dropping what's billed a "deem and pass" strategy. Democrats have signaled for days that they would probably use a procedural two-step to get the House to approve the Senate’s health care measure.

    WASHINGTON – Slightly more than one-third of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democratic-led Congress, a new poll said Wednesday in a clear warning to the majority party. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said the 37 percent expressing a positive opinion represents a decline of 13 points since April. The favorable percentage is one of the lowest in more than two decades of Pew surveys — if not the lowest, the poll said. The previous low was 40 percent in January, but the difference is not statistically significant because of the margin of error....

    I spoke to one of my Thompson sources. He's still with his ailing mother. "He's just being a good son." He has not spoken to any other campaign or any other candidates, nor does he intend to at this time. He will not endorse, I am told by this source close to Thompson. I am also told, "he has no interest in a vice presidency or a cabinet position." At an "appropriate time" he will outline his plans for the near future. This source believes that the race has demonstrated that whatever happens from here on out, the GOP has...

    Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I finally saw a column on the Internet that said what I told you in my May 11th column ("The Pluses of the Dollar Decline"). A lower dollar ain't all that bad!! And from no less than Bloomberg News!! Well, let's talk about that just a bit more. In an article dated July 23rd, Bloomberg finally became the most prominent member of the small club of analysts and financial writers that point out the most obvious fact out there: the dollar is in the rifle sights of just about every other country...

    Kiplinger Forecasts ^ | 9 November 2006 | Jerome Idaszak
    The recent rise in new-home sales doesn't herald a housing turnaround. Rather, desperate home builders are simply resorting to extreme measures to keep inventories of unsold homes from mounting sky-high and prices from going into a free fall. Builders are willing to take huge hits to their profits just to unload empty properties, which bring in no income and incur financing costs. In addition, the 5.3% rise in new-home sales in September and the 3.8% advance in August should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism because many of those sales are likely to be canceled in subsequent months....

    Only once before in Israeli history has a smaller party formed a government - in 1999 - and it lasted only 18 months. Exit polls showed Kadima winning between 29 and 32 seats, but results based on a count of nearly three-quarters of the polling stations show Kadima winning only 28 seats. Labor, too, has dropped to 20 seats, while the National Union/NRP have 8 and Shas has 13. The original post-election forecasts gave the Likud between 10-12 seats, and Labor 19-22. Yisrael Beiteinu was to receive 12-15 seats, followed by Shas with 10-11. The National Union/NRP was estimated to...

    America considers dropping its two-war doctrine By Alec Russell in Washington (Filed: 06/07/2005) The Pentagon, stretched by the war in Iraq, is considering dropping a linchpin of American military strategy, the doctrine that requires it to be prepared to fight two major wars at the same time. Since the end of the Cold War the need to be able to fight two "near-simultaneous" wars in different theatres has dominated military thinking, with Iraq and North Korea seen as the most likely battlefields. US carrier George Washington was central to the two-war doctrine, but may now face the axe Now, with...

    SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Responding to a precipitous drop in popularity, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday said he wants to seek compromise with Democrats on the state budget and the issues he has placed before voters for a November special election. "I feel that there is an agreement to be had," said Schwarzenegger, appearing more contrite than usual as he answered questions from reporters during a Capitol news conference. "We can resolve this, and then we can go together to the special election - Democrats and Republicans alike - and also that we can solve this budget. It's all about the...

    Saddam was captured this morning. No doubt there's been a sigh of relief in Washington. But most importantly, the majority of Iraqis must be feeling more safe and secure. Is it necessary to remind eveyone of why Iraqis would feel relief in light of Saddam's legacy? An estimated 300,000 dead Iraqis lay in some 260 mass graves, 40 of which have been confirmed to date. Saddam's rule meant torture chambers, dropping posion gas on civilians, starting an 8-year war with Iran which claimed a million lives, etc. Imagine if Hitler would've been running around in post-war Germany. Kind of unsettling,...
