Ninety Millions?

Donald Trump, an estimated net worth of $10 billion, but the Republican presidential hopeful is really just like Us. At least, that’s what the business mogul insists in the latest issue of Rolling Stone as he pushes to place the focus on American workers first.

Ninety Four Million Americans forced out of work and are dropped out of the statistics.

Eleven Millions or more illegal immigrants are working, paying no taxes, taking jobs from other American and utilizing the various services available. A path will show that the number is twice as much.

Fifty Million Americans on the verge of poverty, with Healthcare premium for a family of four reaches $15,000, which is out of the reach of this number.

That is half of the population and no Candidate is welling to raise the issue but Trump.

He is talking about building a wall, taking care of the poor, create a terrific healthcare system, the military, the businesses and the jobs among others.

He doesn’t believe politicians are doing enough for citizens,  and the current presidential candidates are running away from the real issue that impacts people's life.

While his conservative opponents are backed by Super PACs, special interest groups, and the incredibly deep pockets of some very wealthy folks, Trump is spending his own money and promising his loyalties to citizens and no one else to gain trust and support for his campaign.

Sure, like most Americans, he’s not nearly as polished as career politicians or have their tact when he gives public speeches. But speaking from his heart is working for him. 

He’s currently leading in the crowded GOP field  despite and he is setting an agenda for all the Candidates to tackle.

Hope the media wouldn't get distracted and let the Candidates off the hook.  Just a thought.

Europe's flood of illegal?

In less than 48 hours, Italy has received an enormous wave of African migrants seeking to cross the Strait of Sicily into Italy, causing a state of emergency for Italian rescuers.
Rescue missions were conducted by the Italian Coast Guard, commercial vessels, as well as the French patrol boat.

Italian police arrested three smugglers, the human traffickers who charge 1,000 euros per person to make the dangerous crossing. Please note the migrants are not only from the middle east, Iraq or Syria.

Estimates of the number of Africans in Libya ready to leave the continent for Europe now reach a million, with Italian rescue forces dramatically underprepared for dealing with an exodus of this magnitude.

Many are fleeing Syria due to the civil war that is initiated and, supported by Saudi, Kuwaiti, Emirates, ... and Turkey's desire to get rid of Assad. Most of these countries are taking no migrants from the region. Many Syrian migrants didn't want to go anywhere, but live in their own country. But with Turkey, Saudis, and US and support of various "moderate oppositions" civilians have no where to go.

We opened the door for a major Non Humane Tragedy of the century.           Just a thought.

Take a chance



 

With the media’s designated front-runners both struggling, the prognosticators who deemed Donald Trump a sideshow are picking their jaws off the floor and forging a new theory.

And can you blame them? Washington has been mired in gridlock for decades. 
In one poll, Trump is leading with 23 percent, and Ben Carson has 18%. 

Jeb, the $100-million candidate who everyone in the media saw as the man to beat,  tied with Marco Rubio at 6 percent, behind Ted Cruz and Scott Walker (who’s faded in recent months) with 8 percent.

While Trump is hitting such hot-button issues as immigration, he also says he wants to raise taxes on wealthy hedge fund managers. People are drawn to him because of his flamboyant personality, his record as a successful developer and because he doesn't have to beg donors for money.

In fact, the Trump phenomenon is reminiscent of Pat Buchanan in1992.
“Both are harsh critics of free trade, both  oppose illegal immigration, both spoke out against the Iraq War and find themselves at odds with the party’s hawks.

They each wear accusations of racism, xenophobia, and hatred as a badge of honor for bravery against the forces of political correctness. And they share a certain style: blunt talk, raised voices, jabbed fingers, and pounded podiums.”
Take a chance on Trump, follow his lead, stimulate his discussion, and see what happens next.

Strong Dollar

 

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average had its worst day in four years, losing about 530 points, down 3.1 percent, to 16,460; the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite dropped similarly.

 

Weakness in the markets is centered around China, said Ben Garber, Moody's Analytics economist. He pointed to Chinese manufacturing activity fell to a six-year low. Substantial declines in Chinese stocks once again fueled sell-offs around the globe.

Last week, China devalued its currency, the yuan, making its goods cheaper and imported goods, like those from the U.S., more expensive.

 

The price of U.S. crude oil slid below $40 a barrel for the first time since 2009.

The decline of oil prices and of other commodities signal fading emerging market growth prospects, ensuring "continued poor results for firms in the energy and mining sectors and so is the exporting Countries.

 

The U.S. currency's value has surged over the last nine months, reaching levels against some world currencies last seen more than a decade ago. In Europe, it now costs just $1.09 to buy one euro, down from $1.37 a year ago and almost $1.50 four years ago.

The soaring dollar is crunching profits at giant U.S. multinationals, prompting Wall Street analysts to make their deepest cuts to earnings forecasts since the financial crisis and boosting the appeal of smaller, domestically focused companies.

With the expectation of Interest Rate hike, all these factors will lead the stock Market to adjust downward until stock's value equals the price.

Re-Assess.

In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women, despite having used terms like “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals” to denigrate some of them.
He leads among evangelical Christians, despite saying he had never had a reason to ask God for forgiveness.
He leads among moderates and college-educated voters, despite a populist and anti-immigrant message thought to resonate most with conservatives and less-affluent voters.
He leads among the most frequent, likely voters, even though his appeal is greatest among those with little history of voting.

At a recent Trump rally in New Hampshire, women there described him as a candidate who would create jobs and take a tough stance on foreign policy. While much of Trump’s media coverage has focused recently on his derogatory comments about women, those female voters said issues like jobs and health care have won him their support. Although he has gained notoriety for castigating a number of individuals and groups, his supporters don’t seem to mind.

There’s a tremendous silent majority that politicians have taken advantage of. I mean, they have taken advantage of the people of this country long enough,” Trump told the crowd. “They’re largely incompetent, except when it comes to getting re-elected.”

Trump talked about the issues that people are asking for. Immigration is a serious issue including Anchor babies. Job creation, Trade and even level field economics, Healthcare over pricing and Special Interest groups. He is and will stay ahead for good.

Just a thought.

Jimmy Carter

Carter was seen in his hometown of Plains, Georgia,  at his church, where he speaks regularly and leads bible study. He said Plains has been a "haven" for him and his family.

The peanut farmer-turned-president, whose four years in office were marred by an energy shortage and the Iranian hostage crisis, has redefined what it means to be a former president. He and wife Rosslyn, married for 69 years, have dedicated the past three decades to humanitarian work around the globe. [helping the poor.]

"I wish I had sent in one more helicopter to rescue the hostages" in Iran, he said. "Maybe I would have been re-elected," he said, laughing as the room erupted as well.

Had he stayed in office for a second term, his vast services to the poor and the rest of the world may have diminished greatly.       God works in mysterious way.

Kids Huh.

A family beach outing turned terrifying when what was thought to be a washed-up buoy turned out to be an active bomb.

"My children took their boogie boards down and we were going out to the sea," Kelly Gravell of Burry Port, Wales, said. "We saw a large object on the beach, so we thought we’d have a little look.

"We get things washed up all the time, so we thought it was a buoy. We never thought for one second it was a bomb."

The children, Ellis and Erin, climb on a barnacle-covered object at a beach in South Wales. Local officials said that the object originated from the United States.

Gravell told ABC News she, her husband, and two young children went to their local beach for a picnic on Aug. 12, when the kids noticed something wash onto the sand.

That's when, she said, Erin, 6, and Ellis, 4, began posing for photos with the huge metal ball.

"We were more fascinated by the barnacles on it," Gravell added. "My son was touching it and was knocking on it a little bit, and that was it really."

Kids Huh. Just a thought.

A Game changer

Donald Trump has won his party's trust on top issues more than any other Republican presidential candidate, and now stands as the clear leader in the race for the GOP nomination, CNN/ORC poll.

The survey finds Trump with the support of 24% of Republican registered voters. His nearest competitor, Jeb Bush, stands at 13%. Just behind Bush, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has 9%.

 

Marco Rubio, Scott Walker 8%, Rand Paul 6%, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich all land at 5%, Mike Huckabee rounding out the top 10 at 4%

 

The republican voters rejects the past 8 years of "opposition" and "refusal to do"  "until we get the Senate, Congress, and the White House". A do nothing politicians are down and out.

Voters wants something done. Enough of "Ben-Ghazi, E-mail Server and Repeal Obama Care" .

 

Trump is standing on solid ground. He is the front runner for a long time. The tide has turned in his favor.

One additional issue I would like to hear about.

Healthcare runaway cost that is 2.6 Trillion dollars with minimum outcome and is increasing 4-6% every year. No one in the world has this system.
