President Trump

[Gareth Lee Hunter]

As it should be:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Taxpayer-funded family planning clinics must stop referring women for abortions immediately, the Trump administration said Monday, declaring it will begin enforcing a new regulation hailed by religious conservatives and denounced by medical organizations and women’s rights groups.

Abortion is a legal medical procedure, but federal laws prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the woman."

Face facts, America, Donald Trump is a success. Let's count the ways.

Beltway media needs to take a deep breath. Fake Trump stories hurt you.
On Jerusalem, Donald Trump ended a quarter century of lies

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently tweeted, “Which is the more underreported story of @POTUS year one? Defeat of ISIS. Booming Trump economy”

Sanders asked the question for a good reason. The good news of Trump’s presidency hasn't received much attention.

According to the Media Research Center, coverage of Trump on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts in September, October and November was more than 90% negative.

Granted, the president is partially at fault for the lack of positive coverage. At times, he has stepped all over his message. Plus, attacking news reports as "fake news" is not the way to win friends and influence the press.

Trump supporters cry foul, but just like a coach who throws a chair or blasts the media in a news conference, the outburst tends to get more attention than it does wins.

Trumpsters aren’t the only ones who've noticed how the media treat Trump.

Surprisingly, 93-year-old former president Jimmy Carter said, “I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about.”

Speaking with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Carter continued, "I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”

But is the White House press secretary right? Are Trump's wins underreported?

On Dec. 16, Ross Douthat, writing in The Times, called the ISIS defeat “a case where the media is not adequately reporting an important success because it does not fit into the narrative of Trumpian disaster in which our journalistic entities are all invested.”

Besides defeating ISIS, what are Trump’s wins this year?

Tax cuts: Congress has passed a tax overhaul, but just the anticipation of tax reform, which will cut the corporate rate to 21%, has excited business owners and fueled stock market records.

Economic growth: The gross domestic product has grown by more than 3% for two quarters in a row.

Consumer confidence: In October, consumer confidence rose to the highest level in 17 years, according to the New York-based Conference Board.

Deregulation: Trump has cut 67 Obama-era regulations and added only three new rules. The rollback on regulations has spurred business confidence, economic activity and stock market growth. Trump said the actions have saved $8.1 billion in lifetime net regulatory costs.

Stock market: The Dow has set record highs 70 times this year, rising 5,000 points in a year for the first time in history.

POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media

Judicial appointments: Trump has staffed the judiciary with constitutionalists such as Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Unemployment: Granted, Trump inherited low unemployment numbers from President Obama, but the number of people collecting unemployment benefits has continued to fall to a near 44-year low.

Trade: Trump worked out a trade deal with China, Vietnam and South Korea.

Israel: The United States' relationship with Israel has been much improved since the last administration.

Immigration: In August, illegal border crossing apprehensions were down 41% on the Southern border compared with August 2016.

U.S. energy: The Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines are under construction. Jobs to be created: 42,000.

Coal: Trump stopped Obama’s war on coal.

Climate change: Trump announced in June that he plans to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement, citing that it would undermine our economy.

Schools: Trump is giving the green light to school choice programs across the country.

Obamacare fail: Congress failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, but if the tax reform bill is passed, Obamacare's individual mandate will be repealed.

Of course, the left credits Obama for ISIS' defeat and the booming economy. And earlier this month, Obama congratulated himself for economic growth and job creation in a speech at a conference of mayors in Chicago, saying, “Thanks, Obama.”

Actually, Obama deserves some credit. His policies created a slow economic recovery, which forced businesses to get lean. Since taking office, President Trump has removed the regulatory weight and the economy is soaring again.

Look, Trump’s combative style reminds me of a certain three-time national champion basketball coach from Indiana. But like that coach, Trump has more wins than losses.

I'm not a fan of Trump. His pro-Israel stance makes him a big fat 0 in my book. It's obvious somebody is pulling his strings. Any US President who is pro-Israel is being manipulated behind the scenes.

[schwab]

I'm not on board 100% with Trump. I did not vote for him. However his accomplishments outweigh those of other presidents. He is different from any other president. He speaks his mind and does not care about retaliation. He is my President for sure.
I care about his support of Israel, the only democracy in the middle east, surrounded by Islamic terror governments.
I'm a Christian, Israel is the birthplace of Jesus Christ, for me it is Holy Land. It needs protection, it is the place of Christ's return.

I just knew it!

Another 'Israel-firster' ... support for this rogue state is where we always end up with Christian extremists.

Trump-supporting Miss Michigan stripped of title over ‘racist’ tweets: ‘Yet another example of #Magaphobia’



The Miss World America organization is under fire after stripping a President Donald Trump–supporting model of her Miss Michigan title over “racist, Islamophobic, and insensitive” tweets.

Kathy Zhu, 20, is a University of Michigan student who won the 2019 Michigan World America title on Sunday. However, her reign was cut short after organizers became aware of Zhu’s controversial Twitter account days later.

Zhu took to Twitter to post screenshots of Thursday’s email and text exchanges with the state director of Miss World America (not to be confused with Miss Universe, formerly owned by Trump), Laurie DeJack, who said that the MWA organization came across Zhu’s account, where the beauty queen goes by “Political Kathy” and felt that her content was in violation of the organization’s rules and conditions.

“Do not go out representing Michigan World America. We do have a problem,” a text from DeJack reads. “Just notifying you that we have an issue and we will need to talk!”

A later email that included the national director and chief operating office of MWA went on to explain that Zhu allegedly violated the contestant requirement of “being of good character” and not being “likely to bring into disrepute Miss World America or any person associated with the organization.”

“Your social media accounts contain offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content,” DeLaurie wrote. “Therefore, and effective immediately, MWA does not recognize you as a participant of any sort or in any capacity as it relates to any and all events of MWA.”

Zhu claimed that the decision was made on the basis of her refusal to try on a hijab in 2018 — something that sparked controversy amongst her fellow University of Central Florida students on World Hijab Day on campus — as well as over her tweets about black gun violence.

She tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the pageant’s organizers were made aware of all of her social media pages before they accepted her as a contestant — although they claim that they were misled by Zhu’s legal Chinese name.

“I feel like it’s their fault for not vetting me properly before they signed me up for this,” Zhu says. “They complained that I didn’t give them my name, but I did. They referred to me as Kathy and they knew me as Kathy but I signed my legal papers with my legal name, obviously. So it was just really weird how they were like, ‘Oh, well you misled us.’ I mean, I sent them everything. So they should’ve known better to check my stuff before they continued with this.”

Still, Zhu says that the entire controversy has more to do with an issue larger than the organization’s prior awareness of her social media.

“They’re not letting people that represent another side of the story represent them,” she explains. “They only want someone to say things that people want to hear. And there’s a lot of things in this world that it’s hard to hear, but it’s the truth.”

The beauty queen went on to say that she had no intention of using her platform for divisive politics, but instead to encourage people to use their voice, no matter the cause.

Ultimately, however, MWA wasn’t willing to give Zhu that opportunity.

“It’s not even about a crown or a pageant,” she says, “It’s about the fact that people really do discriminate against people with conservative views.”

Now, people are showing their support for the pageant queen on Twitter — including Joy Villa — and echoing the belief that she was stripped of the title because of her political stance.

Miss World America didn’t immediately reply to Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment.

I'm fifty-fifty on Trump. On the one hand he is pissing off the people that I hate with a bloody passion. On the other he "Stands with Israel!", something I also hate with a passion. Even so, we simply have no real choice as the Democratic Party is a clown show of freaks, perverts and race-traitors. Hopefully, Trump is just the start of an awakening of our Folk and those after him will have a clearer view of reality.

Trumps biggest achievement is keeping Hillary out of office honestly. Whatever Trump does he's better than having her in office.

And that's why christianity means the end of the white race

"Western" leaders worship Israel instead of their own nation and people


blinded christians help maintain the deception without even knowing or understanding what they are doing


supporting the Jews in their ultimate goal

[schwab]

There are all kinds of Jews in this world, the Jews of Hollywood, the Jews in finances, the Jews in our Government and of course the Jews of Israel. I could care less about all these Jews wherever they are. I care about the birthplace of Christ, I don't want to see that place falling into the hands of terrorist Islam. As long as Israel protects that holy place I will support its politics.
