Obama inherited a $1.3 Trillion deficit from Bush, not to mention inheriting numerous longer term commitments, use your math sk**ls here.

Obama, unlike Trump, honored commitments whether he agreed with them or not. Obama reduced the deficit by two thirds at one point, that still adds to the deficit.

Since your memory is so good about fiscal deficit matters, remember Clinton left Bush with a budget surplus, meaning that all Bush had to do was maintain that and there would have been nothing added to the debt. But no, he made tax cuts that immediately resulted in a budget deficit rather than keep taxes where they were.

DOJ: A Sitting Presidents Amemability to Indictment and Criminal Prosecution

On two separate occasions, the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel determined that The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.

Neither the AG or any of his deputies have the authority or power to write, rewrite, alter, or amend established DOJ policies. They are duty bound to follow those policies. In this case, the limits of the investigation were very specific, yet Deputy AG Rosenstein and his hit man, Mueller, have far exceeded the limits and scope of the investigation into possible collusion. This spectacle is not a right-wing or left-wing, not a republican or democrat issue, it is a Constitutional and rule of law issue, both of which transcend party politics.

I'm sure the right is going to be hardcore up in arms about the unconstitutionality of indicting a sitting president, mainly because it's the right that has been going on about how the constitution says a sitting president cannot be indicted.

Apparently clarity was put to that issue on the heels of past scenarios such as Nixon and Clinton faced, it comes under special circumstances that will be up to Rosenstein, and it's being looked at for the lies that are coming to light that clearly violate public trust statutes.

We live in interesting times.

This president thing is not going well for Trump at all, is it? He is not "in charge" of the DOJ, they will do their jobs and that includes if Trump has broken the law. The right wants the swamp cleaned out, and it starts at the top.

So; The government should be allowed to force chemicals (good or bad) on citizens that do not want what used to be rat poison in their water. Hazardous waste, that our city government pays for, to add to our water.
Europe bans it in most of their cities.

Fluoridation of H2O...no, no

Fluoride is still a poison

Fluoridation is a bad medical practice
1) Fluoride is the only chemical added to water for the purpose of medical treatment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies fluoride as a drug when used to prevent or mitigate disease (FDA 2000). As a matter of basic logic, adding fluoride to water for the sole purpose of preventing tooth decay (a non-waterborne disease) is a form of medical treatment. All other water treatment chemicals are added to improve the water’s quality or safety, which fluoride does not do.
2) Fluoridation is unethical. Informed consent is standard practice for all medication, and one of the key reasons why most of Western Europe has ruled against fluoridation. With water fluoridation we are allowing governments to do to whole communities (forcing people to take a medicine irrespective of their consent) what individual doctors cannot do to individual patients.

Christopher Bryson’s widely acclaimed book The Fluoride Deception includes dozens of peer-reviewed studies showing that sodium fluoride is a deadly neurotoxin that attacks the central nervous system and leads to a multitude of serious health problems. This fact has been covered up by a collusion of government and industry who have reaped financial windfalls while illegally mass medicating the public against their will.
Perhaps the most notable study was conducted by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix Ph.D., a highly respected pharmacologist and toxicologist, who in a 1995 Forsyth Research Institute study found that rats who had fluoride added to their diet exhibited a******l behavioral traits.
Is this the best way to get rid of industrial toxic waste; other than financial considerations?

You’re being played AGAIN !

President Trump Fulfills Prophecies and Moves Our Embassy to Jerusalem
By Rabbi Aryeh Spero

In but a few moments ancient prophecies will be fulfilled and veritable t***hs realized when the United States moves its embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. It will also be a day when we will remember the strength and courage of the man who made it happen: President Donald Trump.

Over the past decades the United States Congress was sincere when v****g overwhelmingly to relocate our embassy from Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city, to Jerusalem, Israel’s dedicated capital. It made sense; after all, every country in the world decides the location of its capital and embassies are located in those capitals. It also was the right thing to do.

Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel ever since King David 3,000 years ago consecrated Jerusalem as Judea's capital. Soon, he drafted the plans for The Holy Temple and almost immediately thereafter his son, Solomon, built the palaces and ancient temple on those lofty hills. Everyone knows this.

As far back as Abraham, the hills of Jerusalem and Mt. Moriah specifically have played a pivotal role among the Hebrews in their ancient biblical land. For millennia Jewish hearts and prayers were directed toward a return to Zion, Zion being the synonym for Jerusalem itself. No other people or nation who temporarily traversed the land between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River has made Jerusalem a centerpiece of their theology, history, spiritual yearning, nor the zenith of their joy and celebration. No one but the Jewish people has cultivated it and made the land blossom and its cities flourish. Yet, until now the embassy move did not happen.

The U.S. embassy will move to Jerusalem, May, 14, 2018, 70 years after the founding of Israel, resurrected as the Jewish state, in May, 1948. Seventy years is a completed life time, as the Psalmist states: "The years of our life are seventy years". Seventy years in Jewish outlook is an historical time unit, representing a significant chapter in human history. Seventy years after the first Temple was burned by the Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews were driven into Exile, the exile ended and many returned to Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem. Seventy years signifies completion and full circle.

The Muslims, through sword and blood, confiscated Jerusalem’s holy mount by erecting a mosque where the Temple once stood. They did so, as they have throughout centuries of armed invasions, to make a monument to their conquest of the land and to erase its previous, legitimate history. Jerusalem was never part of Islam's liturgy, nor is it mentioned in its Koran. The mosque was protecting as a religious site, though it served as an outpost for domination and rule over those who were not Muslim. Only in the last few years, in an attempt to deny the Jewish nation her rightful and historical attachment and sovereignty to Zion, has the Islamic world suddenly made Jerusalem important to them. Mecca and Medina are their holy places, whereas Jerusalem is but a political expedient.

Many good-willed American presidents pledged to move our embassy to Jerusalem, but out of fear of Arab r**ts and backlash, they allowed themselves to put off the decision for a later date. The United Nations and virtually all of the countries of the world were either afraid to relocate their embassies or, in their ultimate negation of the right for Israel to exist as a Jewish state, never even considered moving their embassy to Jerusalem. They were either afraid or were rejectionists. Many organizations spoke the proper words, but when push-came-to-shove chose to accept the delays and kick-the-can-down the road. What makes President Trump different from all previous presidents is that beyond speaking positively about the move, he actually is doing it.

Trump is a man of action. And, he is a man of conviction and fortitude who acts upon what he knows to be right. He is refreshingly fearless. He believes in Israel, indeed seems to love the country. He knows the centrality of Jerusalem in the scheme of Zion and is making t***h happen. He understands symbolism and knows there is no greater sign of support and symbol of friendship than moving our embassy to Israel’s capital city of Jerusalem. He will not be cowed by threats of jihad.

In President Trump we are reminded of the ancient King of Persia, Cyrus. It was Cyrus, among all the kings of the world, who declared that he would make provisions for the Jews to restore themselves in the land of Israel/Judea and, indeed, Nehemiah, and others before him, began rebuilding the walls surrounding Jerusalem, Zion. No one knows if Cyrus was a man 100 percent above sin. But Cyrus was a king, not a priest; and it's the job of kings to create history and do those things that are grand and historic, to do those things regular people are not empowered to do.

When President Harry Truman in 1948, against the will of his State Department and others in the media, v**ed to recognize the State of Israel, he said casting that v**e in the U.N. made him feel he was following in the steps of that great Persian king, Cyrus. He told friends how he remembered reading in his bedroom about Cyrus in the Old Testament, while listening to the late night train whistle as it sped through the countryside of Missouri. Truman fulfilled a prophecy – and made history, good history.

By officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in the name of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation in the world, President Trump is making good history, doing what is right, proving principle over timidity, demonstrating friendship. Though not a “holy roller,” President Trump is fulfilling prophecies – the prophecies of Zachariah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. I am happy to be living on this day when miracles are made through the acts of mortals, by strong men above their peers.

Many were instrumental in bringing this day about, beginning with England's Home Secretary Lord Balfour, who a century ago in 1918 declared that: His Majesty's Government looks favorably upon the return of the Jews to their ancient homeland and to therein establish a state of their own in the land and boundaries of their ancestors. Credit goes to Winston Churchill; LBJ who helped her in the '67 War; and Richard Nixon during the Yom Kippur War; Ronald Reagan and earlier American presidents as far back as the 19th Century who were Christian Z*****ts.

Credit also goes to the current Evangelical Christian community and its leaders and to many non-liberal Jewish individuals and organizations. Unfortunately, too many liberal Jews have traded in their Judaism for m**************m and leftwing intersectionality. They have detached themselves from their historic identity with the Promised Land and currently find their promise in hedonistic and anti-Trump causes. They have chosen faddishness over eternity. For them, Israel is but a yawn.

The move of the embassy by Mr. Trump to Jerusalem is indicative of the great measure of this man. To me, a man is great when he forthrightly speaks his mind, follows through on his pledges, demonstrates friendship, feels responsible to protect those who he’s entrusted to protect, cares about right over wrong, and is willing to battle all those arrayed against him while he's doing the right thing. That is the measure of a great man. Mr. Trump is a great president, displaying characteristics we have not seen in decades.

Congratulations, Mr. Trump, for what you have done, and congratulations, Israel, for being restored to the glory your prophets promised, and to your people who have toiled in earthly and transcendent purpose.

Why Does Manhattan V**e Overwhelmingly Democratic?
Shaun Roberts, lives in New York City

I spent 20 years in law enforcement in New York City and many of those years were spent working in Manhattan. Most people in living in Manhattan live in a vacuum and have little knowledge or concern for how rural or suburban Americans live. Most residents are low income, sometimes below poverty levels for generations, and know only how to live on what the Government provides. Some are very wealthy, usually multi-generational or inherited wealth. Or more recent immigrants are on one extreme of the income spectrum or the other.

I think there are many other factors that cause Manhattan to v**e Democrat. One person said something like “fly-over” states were less exposed to different types of people and therefore they are fearful and can be manipulated as the Republican party exploits this fear. This is viable, all people can be leery of what they don’t know or what they aren’t exposed to everyday. But the knife cuts both ways on this. Democrats instill fear on inner-city minorities with tales of a police state the Republicans will impose. Democrats paint a picture to immigrants of deportation and families being torn apart. They talk of how social services will be slashed for the poor and the rich will never pay their fair share in taxes (while oddly enough, most of these Democrats are quite wealthy). They create divides between law enforcement and minorities instead of building bridges as civil unrest is a lucrative business for some major Democratic Party supporters.

Manhattan dwellers express a lot of concern over c*****e c****e, and maybe rightfully so. Therefore they v**e for the party that prioritizes c*****e c****e. But, Manhattan’s energy consumption and carbon footprint can rival any city in this nation. No one in Manhattan is willing to limit their hot showers or air-conditioning to save energy; that’s for someone else to do. Instead inhabitants ride bicycles around town or take the subway (it’s way easier to get around on a bike or by public t***sportation). Most don’t even need a car for anything, so of course, they want more regulation on vehicles while never quite understanding that people in rural areas cannot get to their jobs via a bicycle and regulations on vehicles hurt their ability to earn a living. They never consider how their social causes effect other people in this Country. They v**e for the party that is for very strict energy regulations.
Note: They are also adept at getting their expenses diverted to the surrounding counties, as in a 0.25 cent per gallon tax to subsidize New York City subway riders, outside of the city restrictions on property usage, water usage in lakes and minimum lot size to build a home. All imposed to protect NYC water supplies such that no filtration and treatment plant need to be built and supported with NYC taxes

Sure, Manhattan residents are much more educated. There are universities all over Manhattan to choose from and social programs to send lower income people to them for free. Higher wage job competition is fierce so degrees matter in Manhattan, whether you learn anything while obtaining them or not. If you have one, it goes on the resume (ironic how people with such a socialistic calling fight for such capitalist jobs; just a thought). I know many people with advanced degrees, who you would find it hard to believe made it through high school. Advanced degrees just aren’t as important, and in many cases aren’t as accessible in certain areas of America. Trust funds aren’t as popular outside of Manhattan nor are 32 year old “children” still living with their parents and attending school. Plus, I think it’s a rule that every third person in Manhattan has to be a lawyer.

Yes the rich and poor live in close proximity to each other but they might as well be miles apart. Manhattan is truly a tale of two cities. The poor people are there to serve the rich and the tourists. The poor drive the taxis, wait the tables and maintain the facilities. They certainly don’t eat in the same restaurants, live in the same buildings or see the same doctors. Manhattan elite are firmly behind ObamaCare but none of them are on it, it is way beneath their class. They see private doctors and don’t wait in clinics and emergency rooms. If they do go to an ER, phone calls are made and their wait time is limited. I use the words rich and poor for Manhattan because most middle class people don’t live there. Most middle income people live in the suburbs, outer boroughs, surrounding counties and New Jersey. The working middle class that do live in Manhattan struggle and don’t v**e because they feel it is useless.

Reliance on Government, police, courts, fire department etc. is massive in Manhattan. Suing people is a way of life, people pick-up the phone and call 911 like they are ordering a pizza and if you don’t feel well, just call an ambulance; it’s cheaper than a cab. There is very little self-reliance.]

“Fly-over” state residents are tired of getting their taxes raised to support inner city programs while they see nothing in return except social service programs grow in Democrat run cities like Manhattan. Manhattans’ elite simply hand the raising of taxes off to their tax attorneys and accountants to shelter their money or, my favorite, they just establish residence in a State that has no income tax and lower their overall effective rate while they enjoy the benefits of a “second home” in Manhattan.

Immigration? Well if you are the Manhattan elite, you don’t have to worry about people entering this Country illegally, you will never lose your job to them. There are plenty of low-level jobs here that you don’t want and they can have. You certainly don’t have to worry about your company leaving and going overseas because you probably already work for a big multi-national. So what does a Manhattanite care about your company in the mid-west moving to Mexico?

Democrats don’t care either.

Socialized medicine? Immigrants are for it because they just don’t know any better. Hours long wait, see a different doctor each time you visit, wait months for a specialist appointment, just ask anyone from Eastern Europe. They didn’t get to visit a local doctor who knows your name and your family, like people do in more rural areas. I’ve already touched on how most Manhattan dwellers do medical.

I keep referring to the “Manhattan elite” and not really mentioning the lower income residents because the poor can qualify for social programs, free education and medical and reduced cost or free housing. It’s when they try to breakout of that lower income class they feel the crush of taxes and full cost housing and education and the affordable care act and they can’t make it. So they move to a suburb and v**e Republican.

I’ve worked in all of the boroughs of NYC and I have lived in two of them. I can tell you that Manhattan is a magical place and a playground if you can afford it. It’s an island packed with brilliant, worldly and exotic people but as a v****g group, you would be surprised at how little they know about rural America or how few of them have ever been to Ohio or Indiana. They have never seen where their food is produced, nor do they care to. They settle disputes in courts and use police as their private security. Their garbage “disappears” and the lawns in their parks are maintained by civil servants. They are completely dependent of government services and Democrats love big government.

Why wouldn’t they v**e Democrat? Democrats focus only on the big Cities of America to the detriment of the little guy.

Yes, people in the “red” States aren’t as educated, but they sure aren’t dumb.
