One of President Trump's very first executive orders:


quote:

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release

January 28, 2017


Executive Order: ETHICS COMMITMENTS BY EXECUTIVE BRANCH APPOINTEES

- - - - - - -

ETHICS COMMITMENTS BY EXECUTIVE BRANCH APPOINTEES

By the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and sections 3301 and 7301 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Ethics Pledge. Every appointee in every executive agency appointed on or after January 20, 2017, shall sign, and upon signing shall be contractually committed to, the following pledge upon becoming an appointee:

"As a condition, and in consideration, of my employment in the United States Government in an appointee position invested with the public trust, I commit myself to the following obligations, which I understand are binding on me and are enforceable under law:

"1. I will not, within 5 years after the termination of my employment as an appointee in any executive agency in which I am appointed to serve, engage in lobbying activities with respect to that agency.

"5. I will not accept gifts from registered lobbyists or lobbying organizations for the duration of my service as an appointee.

Such a shame the EO states "appointed on or after January 20, 2017". Be nice if it stated "any appointee serving in a Government position on or after..."

These asshats make a career of staying in office. Get the ones who are in there NOW, not just the "new blood"!!

Purchased Politicians, Mostly Republicans in House and Senate, Write Letters Opposing Trump on NAFTA

Multinational corporations and foreign governments spend hundreds of millions in Washington DC lobbying House and Senate politicians to retain trade positions. It’s generally a legal bribery business where congressional representatives get rich by selling their votes to corporations and foreign governments.

Most of you already know the game: It’s a big club, and we -the working class- ain’t in it.

Fortunately for us, President Trump won the election without funding from the big corporations and lobbyists within the U.S. political system. As such they cannot influence Trump’s decisions on economic policy matters and trade; and President Trump rarely invites them into the White House for policy meetings.

Specifically because the lobbyists don’t have access to the White House they rely on their purchased politicians in the House and Senate to influence the administration.



The multinational corporations and multinational banks are against the U.S. removing ourselves from multilateral trade agreements. Those institutions rely on being able to manipulate the U.S. consumer market – EXPLAINED HERE. The biggest influence agent, and by far the biggest lobbyist spender, is Tom Donohue, President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who represents the interests of the multinational corporations and Wall St.

So when you see these letters, knowing they are written by K-Street and transcribed onto legislative letterhead by political staffers, all you need to do is look at the signatures of the politicians and you can quickly identify who has been purchased by Tom Donohue:

^ This article goes deep into the weeds. If you want to understand how the system works in the District of Corruption, this is required reading.

President Trump promised to drain the swamp. It's mind boggling, once you venture into the weeds, to realize how vast the swamp truly is.

And it explains why President Trump gets such fierce pushback for his MAGA agenda - including, sadly, from so many Fake Republicans.

Canada Admits They Will Lobby Congress To Block Trump Withdrawal from NAFTA

Nowhere is Trump Derangement Syndrome more evident than in the position of activist Democrats now swearing allegiance to multinational trade deals.

It was only a short time ago when Democrat activists and liberal politicians demanded U.S. withdrawal from TPP and openly discussed how NAFTA was disastrous for the U.S. worker. Both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton ran on pulling out of TPP, etc.

Trump gets elected, actually fulfills a campaign promise and promptly pulls out of TPP, subsequently beginning to renegotiate NAFTA (with leveraged threats to withdraw), and suddenly Democrats are joining arm-in-arm with corporate Republicans expressing their profound love for multinational trade deals. Go figure.

US Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivers a speech to the Federalist Society – Law and Public Order Studies, November 17, 2017:

There are those in this room, and maybe more than a few in this room, who get frustrated when they turn on the TV at night, you know, and have to take Rolaids. Everybody’s got an opinion about what the Attorney General should do, or what someone else should do. Well I get frustrated, too. There are a lot of things that I would like to be able to say and explain. We will not confirm investigations or leak sensitive law enforcement information to get a few cheap headlines.

That's a change. Obama's minions gave speeches to the Communist Party USA.

Not joking.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that BS's actual biological father was FMD, who was a documented member of the CPUSA.

If true (the father part), it sure explains a lot of things.

Ideology doesn't track with genetics. Mama raised a communist, simple enough. Had a baby with a black man to get back at her daddy.

Doesn't matter if the rumor is true or not or what we believe. Mama was a crazy woman who filled kid's head with poison from birth.

That's NOT Obama's fault.

Embracing evil as a functioning adult? That's in his ghost written bios. Spelled out. Lied about too.

Ideology doesn't track with genetics.

I wasn't suggesting that.

Considering FMD's occupation, and SAD's predilections, and the uncanny facial resemblance between FMD and BS, it's not hard to believe that FMD was BS's biological father. There's plenty of evidence in the public domain to support this theory.

If true, combine this with SAD being a "crazy woman who filled [her] kid's head with poison from birth" and it's not hard to see why our former pResident turned out the way he did.

Do you know the Dopey Prince was one of his primary financial backers?

Yes.

And, Ironically enough, a guy at work loaned me a book that was all about the Bush Family Connections to the House Of Saud. Talk about the pot calling the kettle.... ahem.

The Saudis have been paying for access since WW2. It's a matter of survival for the Royal Family. Can you imagine a more unstable setup than to import serfs to do all the work while paying most of the native men luxury welfare to keep them from revolting? It's not really socialism, it's desperation. There's not much chance of big change in that department.

The support of the U.S. is vital to keeping in power, and the decades long facade that the Wahabist sect, or Obedient Islam is not A Problem is crumbling fast. The Royals have funded the Wahabists to keep them from calling for revolution, and to support the Family. I wish the Royal family luck in turning at least the worst parts of their deal with the Devil around.

I've heard the rumors about FMD, and it wouldn't surprise me. Without documentation I don't ever expect, it's not going to be proven, nor is my speculation that Mamma dated as she did to anger her father. Betting is futile since "we'll never know".

"In sum, voters did not believe the United States could continue with open borders, or the idea that foreign nationals could cross the border illegally and at will, and then dictate to their hosts the circumstances of their continued residence—much less accuse their magnanimous hosts of racism and nativism for not accepting the demands of their advocates." Lots more good stuff, too.

More MAGAnomic Winning – NY Fed Raises GDP Forecast, DOW Closes At New Record

The New York federal reserve has raised their anticipated fourth quarter GDP growth forecast to 3.8%. That’s only a week after previously raising it to 3.2%.

The Stock Market closed again at yet another all time high today. As widely anticipated, the impact from Trump’s MAGAnomic policies are creating a massive upward dynamic on the Main Street economy. The increase in consumer confidence; the recent increases in wages; the increase in disposable income as an outcome of lowered energy costs and downward prices on high consumables (fuel, food, etc.); the increases in housing starts; the reductions in imported durables; the expansion of exports in energy products and agriculture, and the expanding domestic investment, are all factors in expanding the GDP.

quote:

In a series of significant speeches at the Federalist Society’s national convention, the president’s lawyers have begun to articulate a framework for restoring the separation of powers: First, Congress should cease delegating its legislative power to the executive branch; second, the executive branch will stop using informal “guidance documents” that deprive people of the due process of law without fair notice; and third, courts should stop rubber-stamping diktats that lack the force of law.

Executive power is often described as a one-way ratchet: Each president, Democrat or Republican, augments the authority his predecessor aggrandized. These three planks of the Trumpian Constitution — delegation, due process, and deference — are remarkable, because they do the exact opposite by ratcheting down the president’s authority. If Congress passes more precise statues, the president has less discretion. If federal agencies comply with the cumbersome regulatory process, the president has less latitude. If judges become more engaged and scrutinize federal regulations, the president receives less deference. Each of these actions would weaken the White House but strengthen the rule of law. To the extent that President Trump follows through with this platform, he can accomplish what few (myself included) thought possible: The inexorable creep of the administrative leviathan can be slowed down, if not forced into retreat.

Ducbsa, V.D.H. is one of my favorite historians. ( others are long dead like Pliny, or specialists in technology )

I don't agree with everything he says but when someone can point out "every time in the last century X was tried, the results were economic failure and mass murder." & give names dates & the locations of the mass graves, you learn to pay attention.

I wouldn't go to V.D.H. for the technical details on the P-47 Thunderbolt but for the politics that led to it's use? Absolutely. In fact his new book is on my Amazon wishlist.

"Most progressive" Hillary literally sought to undermine the fundamental underpinnings of our national sovereignty as well as the principals of free society and individual liberties, while setting the stage for their international globalist agenda...but Trump says mean (and sometimes stupid) things.

But everyone who disagrees with you is a racist Nazi and bad philosophy is both science and education.

Trump does appear to be a unifying force, just not exactly in the way he hoped.

It's been so fascinating to watch that it made "House of Cards" boring. Who could have seen that last year?
