Ed Rendell, 72, was discussing Trump’s electoral prospects in the suburbs of Philadelphia  when his comments suddenly began to resemble the mogul’s. 


Trump’s comments like ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him,” Rendell said.   
There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally,” said Rendell, who is a superdelegate in the Democratic race backing Clinton's.
   
A representative for the Clinton campaign didn’t respond to questions about Rendell’s comments.
The former elected official later apologized.  


Hillary Clinton is disparate to frame Trump's relationship with women as demeaning and unhealthy. 
Considering Trump's involvement with women in many different TV shows, I don't see Clinton's  accusation as fair. To label  the guy with these accusation repeatedly, will back fire.  Just a thought.

"This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations," Trump said. "This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it, this is a battle between good and evil."

 Trump exhorted Muslim-majority countries to do more to eradicate terrorist groups that claim the mantle of Islam.
"Drive them out,"  "Drive out the terrorists. Drive out the extremists. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this Earth."

Middle Eastern countries "cannot wait for American power, but must instead "decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their countries, and for their children."

This is a profound statement. This action starts with the United States reject Regime change that put the world in chaos, then not to be a refuge for terrorists or those who incite violence in the Middle East. Let us start with that.    Just  a thought.

The U.S. economy is behaving mysteriously.   The unemployment rate hit a decade low, average hourly earnings grew just 2.5%  compared with  4% before .

The Phillips curve is effectively dead. In textbooks.   As unemployment rises wage growth falls. Currently the correlation has been so inconsistent that it looks more like a Jackson Pollock drip painting or the footprints of a staggering drunk. 

It just makes sense that a tight labor market will eventually push up wages.

Some fall back on the explanation that workers’ bargaining power has weakened. The decline of unions is a crucial factor,  The Bureau of Labor Statistics says fewer than 11 percent of wage and salary workers were union members last year, down from 20 percent in 1983.

Globalization has weakened the leverage of American workers  by shifting production where wages are cheaper. Workers are unfairly competing on a global scale,”.

Then with such pressures, workers are content with what they’re earning. Employees are more willing to settle for small raises if  inflation remains low, or a threat of moving the job somewhere else is reduced.  No wonder many are against globalization.

Finally, companies are doing more with the workers they have by implementing advanced technologies.

Since oil started crashing in mid-2014, the oil producers confronted budget shortfalls that forced most to dip into oil savings and borrow money.

Saudi Arabia and Russia are at odds on pretty much everything: the war in Syria, policies on Iran, ties with Washington.  But when it comes to propping up global oil prices, they’ve never been more aligned.  The announcement sent oil rallying more than 5 percent within days.

The stakes are particularly high for Saudi Arabia as the U.S., a long-time loyal customer, cements itself as a rival producer. And as the US continue same production or even more, the oil producers will get nothing for their reduction in production.

So it is not ideology, or religion that controls our lives. It is the all mighty green Back.

A 25-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly spraying employees at a fast food restaurant in Minneapolis, Minn. with tear gas. According to WCCO, cops arrived at a Wendy's restaurant after receiving a call about a disturbance. Employees told cops that Eiram Chanel Amir Dixson allegedly drove through the drive-thru to order food.
Dixson reportedly asked that her french fries be fresh.
Cops say an argument then ensued and Dixson went through the pick-up window when an employee threw a drink at her. The woman then allegedly grabbed tear gas and sprayed it through the window.
The restaurant's manager and another employee were hit by the spray. Dixson was arrested and charged with use of tear gas to immobilize.  
She really wanted those fries right out of the fryer.
