Random Political Thought~~

Sometimes we just don't need an entire thread to discuss certain random political thoughts on different topics...

Thought I'd make this one up and if you want post something that doesn't really pertain to an existing thread you may post it here...

Example~~Obama destroying federal terrorist records....
DHS staff were ordered to destroy records on a federal database that showed links between possible jihadists and Islamic terrorist groups
Sad state of affairs brought on by Dem's/ Progs going back to Billy Clinton........
Failure to pay attention and ignore the signals.......

And Bill was given a pass although it was brought to the nations attention.

Obozo is sympathetic to radical Islamist, not because of the connection w/ Islam, but because they hold Western Nations as
common enemies with his world view.......

We can not remove him and his ilk any sooner......

A veteran official with the Department of Homeland Security claims he and other staff were ordered to destroy records on a federal database that showed links between possible jihadists and Islamic terrorist groups.

"After leaving my 15-year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack," the former employee, Patrick Haney, wrote in an explosive column that was published late Friday on The Hill website.

Haney alleges that the Obama administration has been "engaged in a bureaucratic effort" to destroy the raw material and intelligence the Department of Homeland Security has been collecting for years, leaving the United States open to mass-casualty attacks...<snip> Plenty more to the article, read on.......

Here's another to consider~~~

At this rate Chicago will be another Detroit before too long..~

revenue for the state... .....

Until the Democrap machine here is stopped, Gov. Rauner, Trump nor anyone else, will be able
to fix the problem here.


Link: Maker of Oreos, Ritz C*****rs Shedding 1,000s of Chicago Jobs, Outsourcing to Mexico
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/25/maker-of-oreos-ritz-c*****rs-shedding-1000s-of-chicago-jobs-outsourcing-to-mexico/

Mondelez bakeries, which makes Oreo cookies, Ritz c*****rs, and Cadbury chocolates, has announced yet another round of layoffs at its Chicago bakery.

The company is enlarging its Mexico facilities as it closes nine bakery lines in the Windy City, some of which have been operating for 60 years.

The company has been cutting costs since its 2012 separation from Kraft Foods’ grocery business. The goal is to reduce costs by at least $1.5 billion by the end of 2018.

In 2013, Mondelez said its cost-cutting strategies included outsourcing white-collar jobs to countries where labor was less costly, shutting down old plants and bakery lines, improving plants in less costly areas, and corporate reorganization.

By 2015 the company had already reduced its work force from an estimated 107,000 employees to 104,000.

Mondelez says changing customer interests in pre-packaged foods, rising U.S. costs, and cheaper foreign labor costs are at the root of the changes.

By October of last year, the company had announced it was outsourcing hundreds of white-collar jobs to overseas and was laying-off many of its Deerfield, Illinois-based office workers.

Just a little something to mix it up~~ :shock: :lol:

Here's a piece from Tucker Carlson. Some tongue in cheek, humor, a little sarcasm thrown in
and a bit of a read... but well worth it.


Donald Trump Is Shocking, Vulgar and Right
And, my dear fellow Republicans, he's all your fault.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-is-shocking-vulgar-and-right-213572

At the time, I’d never met Trump and I remember feeling amused but also surprised he’d say something like that. Now the pattern seems entirely familiar. The message had all the hallmarks of a Trump attack: shocking, vulgar and indisputably true.
Not everyone finds it funny. On my street in Northwest Washington, D.C., there’s never been anyone as unpopular as Trump. The Democrats assume he’s a bigot, pandering to the morons out there in the great dark space between Georgetown and Brentwood. The Republicans (those relatively few who live here) fully agree with that assessment, and they h**e him even more. They sense Trump is a threat to them personally, to their legitimacy and their livelihoods. Idi Amin would get a warmer reception in our dog park.
I understand it of course. And, except in those moments when the self-righteous silliness of rich people overwhelms me and I feel like moving to Maine, I can see their points, some of them anyway. Trump might not be my first choice for president. I’m not even convinced he really wants the job. He’s smart enough to know it would be tough for him to govern.
But just because Trump is an imperfect candidate doesn’t mean his candidacy can’t be instructive. Trump could teach Republicans in Washington a lot if only they stopped posturing long enough to watch carefully. Here’s some of what they might learn:
He Exists Because You Failed
American p**********l e******ns usually amount to a series of overcorrections: Clinton begat Bush, who produced Obama, whose lax border policies fueled the rise of Trump. In the case of Trump, though, the GOP shares the blame, and not just because his fellow Republicans misdirected their ad buys or waited so long to criticize him. Trump is in part a reaction to the intellectual corruption of the Republican Party. That ought to be obvious to his critics, yet somehow it isn’t.
Consider the conservative nonprofit establishment, which seems to employ most right-of-center adults in Washington. Over the past 40 years, how much donated money have all those think tanks and foundations consumed? Billions, certainly. (Someone better at math and less prone to melancholy should probably figure out the precise number.) Has America become more conservative over that same period? Come on. Most of that cash went to self-perpetuation: Salaries, bonuses, retirement funds, medical, dental, lunches, car services, leases on high-end office space, retreats in Mexico, more fundraising. Unless you were the direct beneficiary of any of that, you’d have to consider it wasted.
Pretty embarrassing. And yet they’re not embarrassed. Many of those same overpaid, underperforming tax-exempt sinecure-holders are now demanding that Trump be stopped. Why? Because, as his critics have noted in a rising chorus of hysteria, Trump represents “an existential threat to conservatism.”
Let that sink in. Conservative v**ers are being scolded for supporting a candidate they consider conservative because it would be bad for conservatism? And by the way, the people doing the scolding? They’re the ones who’ve been advocating for open borders, and nation-building in countries whose populations h**e us, and trade deals that eliminated jobs while enriching their donors, all while implicitly mocking the base for its worries about a******n and gay marriage and the pace of demographic change. Now they’re telling their v**ers to shut up and obey, and if they don’t, they’re liberal.
It turns out the GOP wasn’t simply out of touch with its v**ers; the party had no idea who its v**ers were or what they believed. For decades, party leaders and intellectuals imagined that most Republicans were broadly libertarian on economics and basically neoconservative on foreign policy. That may sound absurd now, after Trump has attacked nearly the entire Republican catechism (he savaged the Iraq War and hedge fund managers in the same debate) and been greatly rewarded for it, but that was the assumption the GOP brain trust operated under. They had no way of knowing otherwise. The only Republicans they talked to read the Wall Street Journal too.
<snip> More to it, just stopped here....

There is no doubt that McConnel, Boner, McCain, Gramnesty, and the rest of the GOP 'elitists' created Trump.

I wonder how many will look into the mirror to find the problem?

Probably not many. More likely they'll turn around look over their shoulders into the mirror and figure out how to cover their own corrupt asses.
