In "Article 1," I asked the same question with immigration in mind, and the answer was a resounding "yes." Ditto when it comes to the creation of jobs. Trump has put a freeze on the creation of new regulations, and is insisting on a radical reduction of same . . . . . . all without the need for legislation. And it appears that the strategy is working. Gateway Pundit and The Washington Examiner give us the following encouraging picture. April recorded the fewest number of folks drawing unemployment benefits since 1988, taking us back to the end of Reagan !!!!!
The number of Americans drawing unemployment benefits dropped to its lowest level in 28 years in April. Not since 1988 have unemployment claims been so low.
The Washington Examiner reported:
The end of April saw the fewer workers getting unemployment benefits than anytime in the last 28 years, the Department of Labor reported Thursday in a sign of the labor market’s increasing health.
Just 1.9 million people received unemployment insurance benefits at the end of the month, the fewest since 1988. Benefits are available for up to 26 weeks in most states.
Even more engouraging: Averaging over the past four weeks, total unemployment benefit claims are running at the lowest rate since 1974, despite the workforce being 75 percent bigger.
Thursday’s report also showed new jobless claims dropping to 236,000 in the first week of May, an extremely low level.
Imagine what Reagan would say...
ReplyDeleteCNN - Jack Barsky, a former KGB spy, says that President Trump's meeting with the Russians compromised Oval Office security to some extent. The White House blocked US reporters from photographing the meeting, opting to allow only White House and Russian photographers to capture images of Trump's interactions with Lavrov

You hated Reagan or you family did, so stop pretending that you see Reagan as "friend." Kissinger was in on the WH/Russian meeting, so all is good. There was no security breach, so, again, "What the hell are you talking about?"
DeleteAs far as the WH blocking the US Marxist media, you are not talking to someone who cares. We no longer need the most of the national media. Enemies of a free democracy.
Kissenger was not in ehe Oval Office the same time the Russians were. As if the 93 yr old would be able to spot an espionage device. pffffft.
DeleteI guess the Russian media is OK, but the US media is Maxist?
You've definitely proven yourself, Smithson. What a tool.
Fox News host Chris Wallace claims the White House press office is in such “disarray” he has been unable to secure any spokespeople to come on his Sunday morning show and defend the president’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
ReplyDeleteFriday morning, the longtime Fox host said President Trump’s press representatives are still unprepared to defend the president’s latest crisis following the stunning decision to boot Comey earlier in the week.
“You want to do it under the best circumstances, and one of the problems has been the disarray at the White House communications shop. The president has been blaming that on them, but the fact is it should be blamed on him... I mean, we’re waiting, just to give you an example, we very much want somebody to represent the president’s point of view on Sunday, about the Comey firing. They still haven’t given us anybody. We can’t even reach anybody — they’re not available, they’re not answering the phone.” - Chris Wallace, Fox News
Not even answering the phone.
wow.
I thought you said, 'the adults are in charge?'
They're in panic mode.
Trump is only picking up where Barack Obama left off. It was Barack who sequestered the press core photographers.
DeleteYou don't remember Anita Dunn? Conveniently forgotten???? Here is a Telegraph UK review of Dunn: " Anita Dunn, a senior White House aide, has boasted of how Barack Obama's presidential campaign managed to "absolutely control" the press during the 2008 election. "
And when the Dems get back in office, they will continue to follow the Barack/Trump press control agenda.
dear reader: Make not of the fact that Mr Anonymous has no answer for my response(s). Barack sequestered the media, refused to allow media photographers to take pictures and insisted on trips without the WH press corp.
Delete“Every step he’s taken this week has cut into the credibility of the White House, the trust of the people inside the White House and clearly, I think the trust that the American people pay to this president and to his White House staff,” -- Mike Wallace on Trump, Fox News
ReplyDeleteQuoting another anti-Conservative, anti Trump pundit??
DeleteThe present time conservative "movement" is not based on trusting Trump, but, rather, in terms of Trump actually getting things done.
Today, for example, Trump just concluded the biggest, most significant trade deal with China in modern day history. He has done more in 112 days than Barack and Rush did in 16 years . . . . . huge deals for the meat/cattle industry, natural gas exports and the credit/finance industry.
I like that, "not based on trusting Trump"
DeleteWell, at least you admit you've sold out your principles for known liar. He's not even a good liar. Bad liars as leaders don't end well.
"Based on getting things done" is my principle. All politicians "lie." Chief among that bunch is Barack Obama. He lied about ObaamaCare, the Iranian "deal," his anti-Semitic agenda, being the Harvard Law Review editor, his "professorship," his "blackness" (being that he was raised a well to do white kid) and on and on. Trumnp does not hold a candle to Obama's sense of dishonesty.
