And that is why I like President Trump where he is. I am tired of the politicians who says what they think you want to hear knowing full well that they are just blowing smoke up your ass. Here's a thought, we have a government of three parts, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Now this is supposed to be checks and balances. So people who are politicians would never be appointed to the Judicial. The problem is that until President Trump NO ONE WANTS TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET ELECTED. So those with party affiliation who have spent their smoozing their way into office. Our country is a business, like it or not that is the truth. Our current deficit is the clue, if we continue to hope that we can get a handle on it without making the hard decision that only someone with business experience can make. Ok off my soap box

SSG William Jones - I don't watch any of them or take their propaganda for 100% correct. In the end they are all owned by old rich white dudes who want to make money so they no longer report news as much as the MANAGE it. Hell I don't believe half the crap that comes out of my mouth and I live with myself. In a serious note everyone should watch what they want with a critical eye and ear, Everyone has an opinion or a viewpoint that they want to force down your throat even if they seem to be on your side.

Yet, the liberal press insulated #44 and "packed his water" throughout his two terms. We heard our liberal brothers and sisters in arms claim such economic success by Obama but every other president in American history, even the really bad ones, had at least one year when U.S. GDP grew by at least 3 percent.  But this has not happened under Obama even though he has had two terms in the White House.
The extremely disappointing US GDP growth data was the final nail in the coffin of President Obama's economic reign. Not only was the average annual growth rate of just 1.48% during Obama's business cycle the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949, he has just become the only President to have not had even one year of 3% GDP growth. As a reminder to a few blinkered media types, this means President Obama's "recovery" has officially been the worst recovery in US history (despite adding almost $10 trillion to the national debt). Regarding job growth under #45, Stock markets hit record highs Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average topping 26,000 with no indications of a reversal anytime soon. The Department of Labor’s unemployment numbers for December, show unemployment holding at a 17-year low and confidence in the job market had risen to a new high. The department's  December report showed that the economy added 30,000 construction jobs last month, contributing to a total of 148,000 overall jobs created. Black unemployment rate falls to record low. (https://tiny.iavian.net/ky4x)

The construction industry is already experiencing an influx of cash. U.S. construction spending rose to an all-time high of $1.257 trillion in November, according to the Commerce Department. 196,000 Manufacturing Jobs were added in 2017. (https://tiny.iavian.net/ky6t) With federal and state governments dropping a combined 35,000 employees during 2017 and local governments adding 77,000, net government employment in the United States increased by 42,000—climbing from 22,299,000 in December 2016 to 22,341,000 in December 2017.

LTC (Join to see) I used to watch CNN...never MSNBC or MSN...I sometimes go to CNN just to hear their non sense...but I can't take it much...and because of CNN and MSNBC...this is the reason why so many drink the koolaid and do not know any better cause they don't watch or know about FOX or other media outlets.
Obama bashed Fox news all of the time and especially Sean Hannity...and it was perfectly kosher for him to do so...non of the news outlets ever had a problem with Obama dissing FOX News.....but the Main stream media bashes Trump all of the time and it's perfectly Kosher...NOT! Trump defends himself and the MEdia goes bonkers. Something really wrong with the media these days...and don't get me started on Hollywood. Seriously a bunch of IDIOTS.
