Large corporations closed factories and moved the work to countries where the wages were low. They fired American workers without a care. Now these corporations are going to be given tax cuts and Congress is rushing to enrich them further. Do you think they are going to “create more jobs”?
The GOP tax reform plan cuts corporate taxes forever, middle class taxes not so long. How long? Just long enough for them to get through the next election.
Our president helped in the release of the three UCLA students that were accused of stealing while in China. That is his job to help facilitate these type of things. These three young men were absolutely wrong and needed to apologize and thank him. But, it was wrong for the president to demand to be thanked. His constant need for praise makes him appear so mentally unstable.
This sore loser mentality that cause uninformed liberals to bash the president needs to end. My lord — a year later, it still continues! These bashers think they are hurting our president, but in reality they are hurting the United States of America much more than they are hurting the president. Show some loyalty to the American public and let the man do what he was elected to do — make America great again. In November of 2020, everyone can collectively determine who will be the next president.

In California, a massacre is stopped at three people shot after an elementary school is locked down in accordance with school staff training. So much for the NRA’s “good guy with a gun” nonsense.

How could Donald Trump possibly urge Roy Moore to withdraw from the Senate race when Trump bragged in that infamous Access Hollywood recording that he was guilty of sexual misconduct himself?
I heard an excellent quote on the “The View”: “If you have a good mother, you have hit the lottery.” And that goes for good fathers, too. If they were willing to give and teach love, protect you and make you feel secure, provided your basic needs of shelter, nourishment and health, you my friend are one very lucky individual.
Half of the people that you meet in life won’t like you for the precise reason that the other half will. Might as well stop trying to please everybody because it’s mathematically impossible anyway.
The Chicago Bulls are a mess. A player attacks another player and causes facial fractures and a concussion and the rest of the team want the hurt player to leave the team. He also loses his starting position when he comes back from his injuries. What is wrong with this picture?
It boggles the mind that so many people who have so much more than they could ever use or spend want so much more. Grasping for more ends up causing the suffering of those that don’t have enough.
