Moving on now with the 100+ crowd ...

Here is a quote from the AP article today (link below)

"Trump leaves Mexico without 3,600 jobs," read the headline on El Universal. "Ford's braking jolts the peso," said Reforma, referring to the Mexican currency's nearly 1 percent slump following the news.

I really can't remember when Mexico ever objected to Americans losing jobs when plants moved there!

Sort of hypocritical, huh! ... Blaming Trump because Mexico has an externally-dependent and dysfunctional economy! Ohhh ... that sure stacks up on common sense & logic!

And!! If 3,600 jobs can affect the peso by 1% ... what the hell kind of economy does Mexico have? Not one that isn't dependent on outside help ... and Mexico, on top of it, is one of the richest nations on earth with all their natural resources!

Maybe ... just a thought here ... if Mexico ORIGINATED anything worth manufacturing (other than great tequila and a prolific drug trade, mind you) they would not have to rely on foreign businesses to create jobs for their people ... and the peso wouldn't slump 1% because ONE factory changes it's plans!

I know ... it's a "weird concept" ... but I'm sticking with it!

I am also laughing my shiny ass off because the hypocrisy is so evident ... but also worried as hell too because so many Americans (Members of A.N.U.S. — Americans Not Understanding Sovereignty) actually support this shit!

Of course, it must be said that those pathetic people in A.N.U.S. take their 'marching orders' from SPHinCTER (Soros' Political Hegemony in Contradiction To Everything Republican) and blindly blather on while they protest, burn cars, loot local businesses and harm people physically to express their frustrations.

(Therefore the A.N.U.S. retentive people are SPHinCTER dependent which creates P.I.L.E.S. ... Problematic Idiocy Leading to Economic Suffering) ... just so you know.

Apparently the notion of "America First" is offensive to those who insist "Mexico First", and those A.N.U.S. members might want to move to Mexico to lend their expertise to the Mexican government about getting their own economy functioning, on-track and viable.

2017 — The Year to Stop the Insanity

Happy New Year one and all ... if only there was some guarantee of that being true.

2016 has ended with a lot of Hope ... because there has been such Change in the awareness of average people across the globe ... people (not persons) have, en mas, awoken to how badly they have been screwed over by the political and financial classes, and those who have bought and paid for them for far too long.

2016 has ended, specifically since early November, as an expose of the vile power politics and corruption that have undermined the lives of the middle class particularly, and the country generally.

2017 starts tomorrow ... what do we have to look forward to?

Not World War III ... Putin isn't rising to the inflammatory bait from a petulant Obama ... he's 'biting the bullet' till Trump is inaugurated on the 20th when artificially created tensions can be put aside for everyone's sake.

A path back to prosperity ... for individual working people, as well as the companies that create the jobs for them.

>> Trump is delivering on election promises before being sworn in ... already bringing jobs back and setting the table for renegotiation of destructive agreements that have robbed us all. Plus tax policies that make America a good place to set up shop again.

Common sense ... instead of political correctness and all the confusion it creates because people (not persons) will be able to communicate effectively between themselves again.

Hope (the real kind) ... that is already happening because people (not persons) sense that the tide has changed for the better ... that there is a new Captain coming aboard who actually knows how to navigate difficult waters, and who actually cares about the safety and welfare (well-being) of those who have elected to trust his hand on the ship's wheel through the storms and waves ahead.

Change (the real kind) ... the 'old guard' who have undermined and diminished the country are being identified and side-lined to where they can do no further damage. Obama's actions of late demonstrate how desperate they are to prevent that change ... even risking and provoking war with Russia to do so. Fortunately Putin sees their game plan and isn't playing along.

A Reset (not a cheesy dollar store novelty button) ... people (not persons) across our globe are fed up with the messes created by the political and financial elites and are speaking up, putting their foot(s) down and saying, in unison, "Enough of this crap!"

The ants have finally figured out the shit the grasshoppers have burdened them with ... 2017 holds enormous promise ... stay the course.

BEFORE YOU RIOT — spend a few minutes reading & comprehending some reality.

So, you plan to head off to join a protest (riot) huh ...

What are you expecting to accomplish? ... other than to underscore the need for self defense in the face of people like you acting out.

Do you think that if you have a violent tantrum, even if George Soros is paying you a few bucks, that your destructive actions are going to change the outcome?

If Hillary Clinton was the superior candidate; Why did she still lose the election even with all the cheating that went on with ballots, voter registrations and more?

How much of someone else's property do you think you must trash just to have your tantrum, and are you fully prepared for the injuries and jail time that await you?

Some of you need a "safe space" after someone uses a word of some sort. Where is the 'safe space' for the people whose homes, business, cars and bodies are under threat from a violent protest that will accomplish nothing of any positive value?

Your candidate vowed to start bombing Iran and was provoking Russia, she also wanted to flood unvetted 'refugees' into US towns and  cities. What would happen to your 'safe space' when those provocations result in an incoming missile? What would happen to your 'safe space' when some of those unvetted newcomers start acting like they have been in Europe, or commit acts of terrorism?

Note 1: Did any of you actually LISTEN to Trump's speeches and thoughtfully consider his words and logic? Or did you just swallow talking points fired off to you on Twitter from your candidate's campaign, or from your equally uninformed friends?

Note 2: To those of you sitting in jail right now for committing vote & election fraud; Are you expecting someone from the Democratic Party (or Clinton Foundation) to show up with your bail money and a paid attorney for you? You'll have a good long while to think about that and consider if it was worth it.

Drudge || Silicon Sultans Full-On Donald Assault...

Specter of Trump Loosens Tongues, if Not Purse Strings, in Silicon Valley

By DAVID STREITFELD OCT. 16, 2016

PALO ALTO, Calif. — After years of scorning the political process, Silicon Valley has leapt into the fray. The prospect of a President Donald J. Trump is pushing the tech community to move beyond its traditional role as donors and to embrace a new existence as agitators and activists. ... Read the full article here.

The man in the shiny can says:

 

Where is the surprise in this?

But ... Why would entrepreneurs not support another successful entrepreneur? ... as opposed to a career politician.

Well, there's a maxim that says "follow the money" ... usually the root of all evil.

The 'entrepreneurial presidential candidate' wants to bring manufacturing back to the country from overseas and wants companies to employ Americans. Sounds good to all those voters who show up at rallies in the tens of thousands wondering where their futures went!

But apparently it doesn't sound so good to the entrepreneurs in Silicon valley ... there must be a reason why!

Oh ya, I got it!!! ... it would be expensive to do what benefits the country ... so why do it?

 

After all, CORPORATIONS, by charter, are required to maximize shareholder profits ... regardless of collateral damage to the community, environment, country and so on. 

If you doubt that from within your little media-fed bubble; Watch the award-winning documentary, The Corporation ... and if you can't figure it out after watching that, exit this blog immediately, flip on the TV and tune in to the latest episode of 'Dancing With The Narcissists'.

Here are a few starter points to get you thinking:

1. Hiring Americans is far more expensive than hiring 'guest workers' from elsewhere ... the ones American workers are oddly being instructed to train to be their replacements.
2. They would have to move manufacturing back to America and pay American wages ... rather than the 'slave' labor wages paid overseas.
3. The Democrat candidate for president, regardless of what is said on the stump (public versus private persona) would ensure the current comfy and profitable 'status quo' ... regardless of what actually benefits those whose votes are being begged for.
4. The Republican candidate wants to put Americans first and the corporations second ... the reverse of the comfy 'status quo'.
5. Rhetorical Question: If Americans don't have good paying jobs and disposable 'income'; who will be able to afford to buy the cheaply produced crap from overseas? Anyone enjoying their Samsung Note lately for instance??

So convince me. Do you think for a moment that those CEOs are more concerned about America or about profits?

Don't try to tell me, or the millions of unemployed that these CEOs are backing a Clinton presidency for the good of the country ... they are backing her for their bottom lines and, of course, the donations and paid speeches to the Clinton Foundation are all tax deductible "bonuses" in the process!

Imagine that! Getting a tax deduction for ruining your own country! They should be ashamed of themselves!
