Most Commented Politics Blogs (944)

So many developing stories and documents are put forth out there rejecting them to be admitted, but this is for anyone to want to say yes or no.

Why? yes?

why no?

Is there any better alternative to tackle this challenge?

In a deadly game that question determines who's the loser or the victor.

Like any war, the sequence of the move calls for either a bluff or a check mate. Either way it's a deadly claw of despair and annihilation.

Chess moves can definitely guide the act that follows. That's if the players are up to it.

I was flying to San Francisco and voila, the news on the Sony fiasco got twisted to an unexpected turn.

North Korea's WEB is completely annihilated.

A great comment on my last blog by one of my participant pasted a news from BBC, about the shameful results on N. Korea's hacking fiasco.

I'm more concerned at this time as to the impact that was never expected.

Or did they?

Any opinions?

Now Trump says many things...but what do you think he meant with his recent comment about this being the 'calm before the storm'?

The way it seems, turmoil is becoming more and more prevalent....perhaps he knows of something to come?

and

If so, shouldn't he inform his country to prevent it from coming?





or...is is just more empty talk?

The balance of power on the Supreme is shifting to the right me thinks.

Former CIA Officer and whistle blower Kevin Shipp says what Hillary Clinton did with her charity and Uranium One while she was Secretary of State was a crime for the history books.

Shipp explains, “Hillary Clinton used this to launder money in foreign banks so it wasn’t subject to U.S. laws, congressional subpoenas or FOIA demands for the evidence. This was done to launder this money globally into the Clinton Foundation so the U.S. government could not examine it at all.”

Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller was the head of the FBI while the Uranium One deal was being done by Clinton and the Russians. One fifth of U.S. uranium production was bought by the Russians in a deal Clinton pushed and approved. The Clinton Foundation received more than $140 million from some of the same Russian players who were involved with Uranium One. Why didn’t Mueller stop the deal? Shipp says,

“Mueller is either a complete moron, which he is not, or he overlooked the biggest counterterrorism cases in U.S. history. It involved Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, Uranium One and, of course, the destruction of all the emails and evidence and her secret server, and on and on and on it goes, and he (Mueller) ignored it all.”

How did she get away with obvious crime? Shipp says,

“The most bizarre thing is the people who protected her from clear felonious activity and violations of the Espionage Act. James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, was protecting her and leaking things to the media and lying. You had John Brennan, Director of the CIA, protecting her by starting a false investigation (on Trump) and stirring things up with this (false/unverified) dossier. You had James Comey, Director of the FBI, protecting her...

Then, you’ve got Peter Strzok protecting her, and now it appears the United Kingdom GCHQ was using NSA information to target Donald Trump and protect Hillary Clinton. You have to ask yourself what kind of power or connections does this woman have to get all of these members of the Deep State, Shadow Government to risk their own criminal penalties to protect her and try to get her elected? That is the Shadow Government. That is the Deep State. That is what is so chilling about this whole thing...

This is deep. This is dark. This is as dark as it gets, and this is the biggest espionage case involving government officials in the history of this country.”

The night Donald Trump was elected was supposed to be, for most liberals and a few conservatives, the beginning of the end of the world. The economy would surely implode. The U.S. would probably blunder into a catastrophic war. The new American president would be blackmailed into conducting foreign policy as Putin’s poodle.

None of that has happened — not yet, at any rate. On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported the fastest rate of annual wage hikes in almost a decade, depriving Democrats of one of their few strong arguments about the true state of the economy. Unemployment is at its lowest rate since Vince Lombardi coached his last game in December 1969. The North American Free Trade Agreement has been saved with minor modifications and a new name.

Oh, and: The Islamic State is largely defeated. Tehran has not restarted its nuclear programs despite America’s withdrawal from the Iran deal. U.S. sanctions on Russia are still in place. Democrats badly damaged their chances of taking the Senate with their over-reaching and polarizing crusade to stop Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. What more could Trump ask for?

In normal presidencies, good news, along with your opponents’ mistakes, is good politics. It’s your Topic A. In normal presidencies, the politics of cultural anxiety, social division or ethnic scaremongering — that is, of proposing the end of birthright citizenship and demonizing elite media and militarizing the U.S. border — is Plan B. It’s what you turn to first when you don’t have enough to say for yourself otherwise.

But that’s not how the Trump presidency rolls. In this campaign, fear is what’s on the Republican menu. Peace and prosperity? Mere side dishes.

The mystery of Donald Trump is what impels him to overturn the usual rules. Is it a dark sort of cunning or simple defects of character? Because the president’s critics tend to be educated and educated people tend to think that the only kind of smarts worth having is the kind they possess — superior powers of articulation combined with deep stores of knowledge — those critics generally assume the latter. He’s a bigot. He’s a con artist. His followers are dumb. They got lucky last time. They won’t be so lucky again.

Maybe this is even right. But as Trump’s presidency moves forward, it’s no longer smart to think it’s right. There’s more than one type of intelligence. Trump’s is feral. It strikes fast. It knows where to sink the fang into the vein.

This has been Trump’s consistent strength from the moment he entered the Republican race until the second he got wind of the migrant caravan. Yes, his administration doesn’t even have an ambassador in Honduras, and if the U.S. has any kind of coherent Central American policy it would be news to me. Also, the idea of deploying thousands of U.S. troops to repel and even fire on the caravan is repellent, fascistic and probably unlawful.

Still, several thousand people are pushing their way to the U.S. border with the idea that they will find a way to push their way through it. If they do, tens or even hundreds of thousands more will surely follow. It’s perfectly reasonable for fair-minded voters to wonder how the U.S. will vet and then absorb even a fraction of them (though I think we easily can), and what doing so will mean for our wider immigration system.

The full story:

This means a lot for the people of a country who's leader vowed to work on making America First and great again.

He owned the moment. I was so touched and I am sure most Americans have felt the same.

The monumental success he has achieved for so short a time, he is one heck of a great president. In spite of the display of contempt from his pundits, he continues to lead this nation towards greatness as promised.

In my opinion, building the wall for 10 billion is a cheap change compared to the 110 billion of supporting illegal immigrants.

The most effective change he has initiated is that the WORKING citizens are finally bringing more money in their paychecks as a result of tax changes. While I am already receiving my SS as a result of working over 35 years, I am still working for a more financially secured future. This means a lot to me.

Thank you Mr. President for encouraging on bringing back some of the outsourced jobs to this country. Imagine Chrysler to be coming back here from Mexico, that is a very positive move for our economy.

His love and respect for our aging Veterans by hiring more people that provide care they deserve is another big highlight of the speech.

Having been involved in the humanitarian field, this is the closest one to my heart. His commitment to continue on donating to the poor countries of the world. More than any leaders of any nation has done in the history of man. This to me tops all of his success in building a great nation.

As an American, I am told I have the right to vote. That my vote will count when determining who our next elected officials will be. But, I am confused. Well...actually not confused, rather frustrated a bit. I am not confused because I "think" I understand what is going on.

You may know that right now in the United States we are in the process of voting in our party candidates. Right now Trump is leading for the Republican nomination and Clinton for the Democrats. The candidate for each party who has the most DELEGATES wins the nomination for that party. The amount of delegate one gets is determined by the amount of public votes they receive from the people. Simply put, the more votes you get the more delegates you receive. Wooooo-Hoooo! But!!!

Let's not celebrate too early here individual voters. Each state has elite political figures who get to hand out "super" delegates. To sum things up here. Bernie Sanders may have beat Clinton by a huge margin, none of which has been seen in the past 50 years. But, Bernie Sanders still loses. Remember, the number of votes does not get Sanders a win, but the number of delegates determines the victor. After the majority of the super delegates were handed out, Clinton is currently tied with Sanders in New Hampshire. There are two more super delegates that have yet to be handed out. Hmmmmm. I wonder why they were not handed out yet. Can you imagine the headlines, "Bernie Sanders dominates Clinton in the election but still loses."

This has happen in a state that neighbors Sander's home state. A state where Sanders had huge appeal to the citizens, as the votes clearly show. However, the political elites of that same state have pretty much all given their support to Hillary. If that sort of neighborly support from the elites happen there, it is pretty easy to see where the "super" delegates are going to go with most other states.

It is not our votes that count. Hillary lost so hugely, so huge that a beating like that has not happen in the past 50 years in politics. Congratulations goes out to Clinton for her Democratic nomination.

That is my thoughts.

Now this is one great moment of history. To reconcile and connect with those that wanted him to quit for the position is just amazing.

That to me spells good leadership. Humble and very forgiving. A trait we would want our president to possess. Coupled with his determination to control the direction of our nation towards rebuilding and strengthening our economic and military system, he must be very careful in picking out those that will support him and contribute for the good of our country specially in local and foreign policy.

Secretary of State is one of the most sensitive responsibility our country has. Maintaining our connections with other countries demand a very crucial and critical relations that spell win win however, if and when conflict can't be avoided, then make sure that we are not on the short end of the stick.

I am just excited to share this moment of unexpected gesture.

Note:

I'm aware political blog is not welcomed by most of you but I feel all these events happening in my country will affect the world one way or another.

I won't apologize but appreciate your reads and comments if any.

Thank you.

Right, Donald Trump was elected as the next President of the United States but nothing has changed. The USA is still intact, the world is still spinning round its own axis every 24 hours, and the stock markets did not collapse.

In fact, the only abnormality was a rather large full moon but as I understand it, that had nothing to do with US politics. While NASA is not accepting liability, they did admit that their engineers are working on it and according to their spokesman, that will be remedied very soon.

So, a rather tame entry for such a large Trump.

Quite unlike my cousin Don – also a Donald but he made his grand slam in no Trumps.

Now, did he make an impact upon his entry into this world!!

He was born on 29 April 1945 with catastrophic results. The news of his birth unsettled Hitler so much that he committed suicide the very next day, ultimately leading to the collapse of Nazi Germany. The rest of the world, not quite ready for sudden peace went into a panic, causing the detonation of two nukes over Japan, followed by the cold war. And we all know what followed.

I wish you all a grand day!
