How Democrats want to help America and Americans in 2020

- Open Borders
- Abortion up to the date of birth
- Abolish the Electoral College
- 16 year-olds can vote
- Illegal aliens can vote
- Abolish ICE
- Reparations for slavery
- Wealth Tax
- Green New Deal ($90 trillion plus)
- Medicare for all (which is Medicare for none)
- Elimination of private health insurance companies
- Expand the Supreme Court
- Illegal aliens can access federal government services

Gee. I hope they keep making that their platform in 2020.

Trump seems very rattled these days. He needs to chill out a bit more.

Perhaps he should take up bowling or something.
He does have an interest in oenology.

No one has done more to cultivate, spread and promote white whines in the US and around the world.

Ashamed to be English since 23rd June 2016 when England voted for racism & economic suicide.

Disgusted that the UK is “governed” by a squalid bunch of economically illiterate, self-serving, sleazy and corrupt neo-fascists.

Food Stamp Usage Falls to 37 Million for First Time Since October 2009

Source: US Department of Agriculture

Americans on food stamps fell to its lowest numbers since 2009. Only 37.9 million are on the dole ending December 2018.

When the Obama administration was in power, food stamp participation reached its highest levels in American history.

Since that occurrence, various states now require those receiving food stamps to work, volunteer, get job training or attend school. Numbers started to decline after that.

USDA records indicate that 4.2 million Americans have dropped off of the food stamp rolls during Trump’s presidency.

Another Promise Kept

Source: Twitter

Trump donates Q1 2019 salary to the Department of Homeland Security.

Past quarterly checks have gone to the VA, HHS, Transportation, SBA, Interior, Education and National Institute of Health.

During Trump's campaign for POTUS, he promised voters that he would not take the annual salary of $400,000 if he was elected.
While the press doesn’t like writing about it, nor do I need them to, I donate my yearly Presidential salary of $400,000.00 to different agencies throughout the year, this to Homeland Security. If I didn’t do it there would be hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA!
For those who don't know, Trump pledged not to take his salary as POTUS and donate it.

National Approval Ratings Among G7 Leaders

(Alphabetical by Country)
Justin Trudeau, Canada: 35%
Emmanuel Macron, France: 28%
Angela Merkel, Germany: 29%
Giuseppe Conte, Italy: 67%
Shinzo Abe, Japan: 44%
Theresa May, UK: 28%

Trump, USA: On any given day, better than all but Italy.

Only 3 of the 7 with balls and defending their Citizens. Hint: they are the 3 with the highest approval. Funny how that happens.

Are other world leaders making the grade?
Image

Use whatever polls you wish. The fact remains that the world is full of spineless, feckless eunuchs running countries, and the US isn't one of them.

The Americans who voted for Trump did so because he despised the political class as much as the Everyday American. They voted for Trump because they had an idea that he wouldn't take any crap, would get things done and would call out those hypocrites in the swamp who ignore The People and undermine the security of the country. They voted for Trump, despite his imperfections and issues in his private life because he is the right guy for the job at the right time. I'm betting they do it again in larger numbers in 2020.

Too bad for the pussies and snowflakes and brigadiers -- especially those from other countries who don't like it. He's not your leader. Be happy in the thought that your leaders may not always fight for you. I'm glad that you're happy with what you've got.

Democrats, more and more, are a CONTRAST to America

Victor Davis Hanson outlines this perfectly.

"Trump does not exist in a vacuum. Many supporters turned off by some of his antics are still far more appalled by an emerging radical neo-socialist Democratic agenda. If the alternative to Trump is a disturbing tolerance among some Democrats for anti-Semitism, the Green New Deal, reparations, a permissive approach to abortion even very late in pregnancy, a wealth tax, a 70-90% top income tax rate, the abolition of ICE, open borders, and Medicare for all, Trump's record between 2017-20 will seem moderate and preferable. Progressives do not fully appreciate how the hysterics and media coverage of the Kavanaugh hearings, the Covington teenagers and the Jussie Smollett psychodrama turned off half the country. Such incidents and their reportage confirmed suspicions of cultural bias, media distortions, and an absence of fair play and reciprocity."

The more that Democrats lurch to the Left and God-knows-in-what-direction, they are elevating the importance of the three main tenets of the Founders and Framers: defend the Constitution, promote Free Enterprise, nurture Individual Liberty. None of the harebrained schemes of Democrats reflect what is important to the majority of Americans.

Ford To Invest $900 Million for New Electric Vehicle Plant In Michigan

Source: CNBC

GM with inferior product is shutting down plants and laying off workers. They haven't learned any lessons since their bailout and costing taxpayers $11 BILLION in losses from that GWB/Obama boondoggle.

Ford, on the other hand, is laying off thousands of workers in Germany and investing in AMERICA.

AMERICA FIRST. HIRE AMERICAN.

The Automotive Industry Financing Program — which was created under the Troubled Asset Relief Program — provided $79.69 billion to GM, GMAC and Chrysler. So far, they have paid back a little more than half of the money, or about $40 billion, according to Treasury’s daily report for Sept. 16 on TARP funds.
Ford did not receive any money under AIFP, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get any federal assistance.
In a Jan. 30, 2009, report on the bailout program, the Congressional Research Service noted that Ford “is counting on $5 billion from the DOE loan program to support a $14 billion plan to reorient its lineup toward more fuel-efficient vehicles.” On June 23, 2009, the Department of Energy announced it would provide $5.9 billion to Ford “to transform factories across Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio to produce 13 more fuel efficient models.”
In a business plan submitted to Congress in December 2008, Ford touted its $14 billion plan for fuel-efficient cars as a key part of its effort to turn the company around — noting that a big piece of the funding was coming from the DOE. The company’s business plan also urged Congress to pass legislation to provide “incentives for consumers to trade in older vehicles and move to more fuel-efficient vehicles.” About six months later — on June 24, 2009 — President Obama signed the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act that became known as the cash-for-clunkers program. A Department of Transportation report (table 10) said more than 90,000 Fords were purchased under the cash-for-clunkers program — second only to Toyota — as of December 2009.


So Ford did receive aid in 2009 CASH FOR CLUNKERS (FORD) Great name for a program

You love conflating unrelated issues. And yes, I know YOU DON'T CARE.

It's important to readers that factual information is provided to fill in the gaps in your purposeful misrepresentation of events to necessarily cast them all as negative.

The Department of Energy program was a LOAN. Ford was not begging for a bailout (GM and Chrysler). Loans and bailouts are quite different. The DoE and other agencies offer loans and grants to the private sector in order to help them comply with new congressional statutes and fuel efficiency standards.

Cash for Clunkers was a failed Obama program that rewarded consumers in auto purchases of a new auto of THE CONSUMER'S CHOICE. Those Fords that were purchased were chosen by consumers, not funneled to Ford by the government.

Despite any negatives, which accompany many different makes and models of automobiles all over the world, Ford is still the #1 US auto maker in the United States.

It should also be pointed out that in the bailout of banks by GWB/Obama globalists, even healthy banks were forced to take bailout money by Obama. You see, healthy banks would have an unfair advantage over unhealthy ones, so it was important to hide that fact from consumers. Yeah, let's hide it. Once again, the Obama War on Success and Achievement.
