FACT CHECK: Who Gets Credit For The Booming U.S. Economy?

The U.S. economy is chugging along. Employers added 201,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate held steady at a low 3.9 percent. Average wages in August were nearly 3 percent higher than they were a year ago.

Who should get the credit for that strong performance?

The >Local Authorities of PR goofed,not the Feds,and guess what political side they belong to?
They pulled the very same stunt in NOLA after Hurricane Katrina.
Seems the Democrats always lose their heads in an Emergency,especially when there is a Republican Administration in the WH!
Almost want to look as if they didn't give a damn about the People,if they can badmouth the Republicans,happened in NOLA,happening in Puerto Rico!

According to 2016 statistics filicide (Child Homicide, by parent) The United States has the highest rate for child murder among all developed nations.
8 per 100,000
(90% were committed by a biological parent
10% were committed by a step-parent)

About 2.5% of all homicide arrests in the United States were for parents who have killed their children. This amounts to about 500 filicide arrests each year. The rate of filicide decreases with the child's age. Men opposed to women are more likely to murder older children. Among 16-18 year old victims, the male parent committed 80% of the homicides.

Very disturbing!

The percentage of voters who want to impeach Trump is almost the same as the portion who wanted to impeach Nixon

In part,

The survey found that 42 percent of Americans today think Trump should be impeached, compared with the 43 percent who backed Nixon’s impeachment in March 1974. (When broken down by party, the support for impeachment is quite skewed, however. Seventy-seven percent of Democrats say Trump should be impeached, while just 9 percent of Republicans do.)

https://nypost.com/2018/09/11/ken-starr-proves-the-perils-of-prosecutors-probing-presidents/

Almost the whole gang’s here. The hottest names in the news today make appearances in the new book by Ken Starr, the independent prosecutor who tried to topple President Bill Clinton.

In addition to Bill, there’s Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Monica Lewinsky, John McCain and even today’s man of the hour, Brett Kavanaugh, newest nominee to the Supreme Court.

Just one name is missing — Osama bin Laden. On whom, more in a moment.

Starr’s book, out this week, is titled “Contempt.” It’s a memoir of the Clinton investigation that led to only the second impeachment of a president in our gloriously tumultuous political history.

Its headline news is that Starr was so irked by Hillary Clinton’s answers in the probe that he considered indicting the first lady for perjury. The book touches, though, on bigger issues.

Bigger, in particular, as another special counsel is investigating another president — in a case also involving talk of presidential perjury and obstruction of justice, not to mention sex.

Both probes raise the question of whether the independent or watered-down special counsels are even permitted by the Constitution to prosecute a sitting president.

My own view is that they’re not. I’ve opposed them all, from Archibald Cox (who went after President Nixon), to Starr, to Lawrence Walsh (who went after Reagan), to Robert Mueller, who’s targeting Trump.

It’s not a Republican or Democratic thing. It has to do with the president being the only officer the Constitution empowers — and requires — to take care that our laws are faithfully executed.
That is one reason why the president is given sole power to commission “all” federal officers. And why the Supreme Court has concluded that includes the power to fire them.

Starr, though, wasn’t appointed by his president. He was handed his job by a three-judge panel, acting under a law Congress used to filch powers the Constitution granted presidents.

That was in 1994. Starr couldn’t resist an exhaustive investigation of almost anything that came up, from the suicide of Clinton lawyer Vince Foster to presidential sex.

So Starr’s probe stretched to something like five years. He proved that even the most stalwart of lawyers cannot resist the temptation of unlimited power.

Starr reopened the investigation of Clinton counsel Foster, who, the previous counsel had concluded, committed suicide. Kavanaugh wrote that report.

Nor could Starr resist the so-called “Travelgate” scandal and Clinton’s affair with an intern, Monica Lewinsky, and the president’s perjury in a suit brought against him by Paula Corbin Jones.

The press (particularly the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the American Spectator) did a fine job of covering these scandals. It was, though, Starr’s lurid report that led the House to impeach Clinton for perjury and obstruction.

The case fell apart — and came up short — in the Senate.

Starr’s book takes on a carping, rueful tone. He says he “deeply” regrets taking on the Lewinsky part of the investigation. Yet the Senate never got close to the two-thirds vote needed to remove Clinton from office.

So in the end, Starr’s tale is a tragedy. A former solicitor general, he was once a logical choice to be on the Supreme Court. He forsook all that for the chance to go after Clinton.

Which brings the story back to the figure whom Starr fails to mention — Osama bin Laden. The terrorist serves as a ghastly footnote to the story of Starr’s investigation of Clinton.

This is covered in the official report of the 9/11 commission. It found that on four occasions between 1998 and 2000, our covert forces presented the White House with the chance to strike bin Laden’s lair.

Yet it didn’t happen. The 9/11 commission lays this to, at least in part, “extremely difficult domestic political circumstances. Opponents were seeking the president’s impeachment.”

It’s not my intention to blame Starr for 9/11 (only bin Laden gets blame for that, and he got his just deserts). It is my intention to press a point that Starr fails to address.

Justice Antonin Scalia made it when he dissented from the case that let independent counsels proceed. He warned they could affect the “boldness of the president.”

Lawmen with unlimited budgets and little oversight, Scalia feared, could rattle not only a president but his aides. Starr’s book leaves that question hanging as another special prosecutor pursues a president.

“The Constitution is not a living organism. It is a legal document, that says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t.”
- Justice Antonin Scalia

like my progressive friends, I do NOT want "conservative" justices--unlike my conservative friends, I want constitutional justices, who understand, like J Scalia, that the Constitution is a legal document--a "contract", if you will, with none of its provisions and/or clauses permitted to be revised or amended or abrogated without all parties' endorsements.

Giuliani to AP: Trump will not answer obstruction questions



"President Donald Trump will not answer federal investigators' questions, in writing or in person, about whether he tried to block the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, one of the president's attorneys told The Associated Press on Thursday."


And we are supposed to believe he has nothing to hide? What happened to transparency? By not answering, he's admitting guilt.

Democrats appear to have an advantage in November's midterm elections, and Trump is a big reason why according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

All in all, Remains to be seen. This is a poll. And nothing but a poll.

http://www.yahoo.com/news/m/e2b9f54a-8d09-30da-a41a-f94b5bc14eb4/polls-show-democrats-have-an.html




Yep, just like all of the polls that said Donald Trump would be trounced by Hillary in 2016.


Clinton did trounce him. By nearly 3 million votes. The will of the people who voted at the time wanted Clinton to be president. And whether the right wants to admit it or not, It was handed to Trump by the Electoral College.

This pissed off millions of people. It made many feel like their vote didn't matter or count. Just my opinion, I think that's why come November, it's gonna be a blue sweep. Just about every which way Trump turns his head he will see a Democrat. It remains to be seen.
