Foxconn Putting the Smackdown on the Democrats in Wisconsin

The Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, touted the Foxconn deal as a landmark deal for Wisconsin. 

Democrats have been against it from day one.  Talking about how it was much to do about nothing and that Wisconsin is going to lose.

Journal Sentinel:

“It’s clear,” said Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling of LaCrosse, that the “Foxconn gamble has become an albatross instead of the golden goose Gov. Walker thought it would be.” 

Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) complained that the Foxconn deal was the “result of a rushed process borne out of political expediency rather than sound economic development policy.”

“It appears Foxconn may break promises to Wisconsin before they even break ground in our state,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokeswoman Melanie Conklin.

People across the State complained.  Democrats were united against it except for the ones in the Racine and Kenosha area.

Democratic Candidates have targeted Foxconn in their run against Walker for re-election.  

Journal Sentinel:

“The governor does not know what he’s doing,” said Madison Mayor Paul Soglin. “I’d like to know what he was smoking when he negotiated this deal. In China they’re laughing at us.”

"Obviously, Scott Walker sold the farm on that issue," said state Schools Superintendent Tony Evers.

Cap Times:

Rep. Dana Wachs, D-Eau Claire, in an interview earlier this month. "When they break this contract, we will find a way to end it."

In an interview late last year, Milwaukee attorney Matt Flynn said he will end the deal "no matter what," adding that he would enter litigation to break the contract if necessary.  

Yet in the face of all this nonsense from the Democrats Foxconn has went on to not only live up to what they have promised so far.  They have expanded on it to include most of the entire state of Wisconsin.  Putting additional facilities in Milwaukee, Green Bay and now newly announced Eau Claire. 

The Democrats with all of their talk of doing what they can against Foxconn if they win are now facing killing job making opportunities not just in South East Wisconsin, but now across the state.  Taking away opportunities from Students and the very people we are trying to keep and draw to the state. 

Foxconn is painting the Democrats into a corner and the Democrats are talking themselves right out of the election to become Governor.

John Brennan and McCain are the ones Treasonous and Disgraceful

President Trump once again drew the ire of critics when he wouldn't come out and call Putin a liar on a national stage and to his face.  Even though Trump telegraphed that earlier in the week saying he didn't expect the leader to admit to it.

Trump is trying to thaw the relationship between the two nations and get to a working relationship that will help with multiple world issues.  How these idiot talking heads think confronting the leader on a national stage and face to face will help accomplish that is beyond me. 

Their statements and reactions came out more as disgraceful and treasonous did the Presidents. They have no idea what the conversation was behind closed doors.  They have no idea how that conversation went.  It is obvious that it was discussed.  Both leaders acknowledged that it was a part of the conversation. 

These talking head idiots would rather maintain a combative arrangement between the two nations over the meddling of our election.  This somehow has become such a big thing since Trump was elected.  It has been going on for years by many countries and right here at home.  We have candidates that we support in elections around the world and push for them.  We have done that for years and years.  Thanks to the Russians or whomever, we also know the Democratic National Committee rigged our elections in favor of Hillary Clinton.  Obama knew of the meddling for quite some time before this election and didn't do much to stop it until Trump had won. 

The outrage is manufactured.  It is manufactured because the Political establishment lost.  That is what the outrage is really about. 

I don't remember talking head John Brennan calling Obama Treasonous when he was caught on a hot mic telling the Russians after his last election he would have more room to make concessions with them. 

Trump may not be the speaker that Obama was, but his actions speak loudly to the American People and the leaders around the world.  Trump has taken a much harder line with friend and foe alike.  Obama and many leaders talked a good game, but put politics ahead of action. 

Trump has called out our allies for their lack of commitment to their very own security.  It has been a sticking point for many administrations.  The lack of funding some of these nations put into defense and NATO is appalling.  Yet they know we will be there if they need us.  Trump has pushed for them to pay their bill.  Trump understands that a strong Defense will deter such actions as North Korea, Iran and yes Russia.

Trump called out Germany, rightfully so on their deal with Russia.  NATO was put in place to be the defense against Russian aggression.  Yet Germany, the very same country we are vowed to protect against Russia, has been working with Russia in a multi billion dollar deal to provide 70% of its energy needs.  Russia will have control over 70% of Germany's energy?  Doesn't sound like Germany is much concerned about big bad Russia.

FOX News:

But, we do know that since taking office, President Trump has taken a much harder line on Russia than did his predecessor. President Obama visited Moscow in 2009 and soon thereafter abandoned a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic that infuriated Russia. Trump has since reinstated the program. Obama refused to send military-grade weapons to the Ukraine; Trump is doing so. Obama was reluctant to ramp up liquified natural gas exports that would compete with Russian gas, but Trump is prioritizing such shipments and calling out Germany for its reliance on Russian energy.

Trump has surrounded himself with Russia hawks like National Security Advisor John Bolton and Defense Secretary James Mattis. If he were in cahoots with the Kremlin, he has a funny way of showing it.

The reaction to the Helsinki conference was over the top, given how little we know about what went on behind the scenes. It was also sad. It’s almost as though Trump’s critics wanted him to fail. But wouldn't hoping for increased confrontations with Russia be…treasonous?

Trump may not have been so eloquent with the words he used after the meeting, but make no mistake about it.  Trump is in the middle of negotiations with many countries on many fronts and the actions of the talking heads make it much more difficult to get results abroad.

These people are the ones that are treasonous and disgraceful.  These people are the ones who don't have America's best interest at heart.  

Is Trump Wrong on these Policies? Immigration, Tariffs and The Swamp.

It seems like everyday I have to listen to people like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders and the Media tell me how wrong Donald Trump is.  How America is up in arms and protests are breaking out about these policies.  How he is Racist and the Devil and destroying America.

However I feel like I must be the smartest person alive.  Because I can do some research and my memory must be better than most because I can also remember.  I can remember when almost every President since I have been alive has felt the same way as President Trump.

I can remember Bill Clinton and Obama pushing for tighter borders and Immigration.  I can remember them complaining about trade and the unfair practices.

It seems I am the only one who remembers those comments.  I am the only one who can do research and find out that:

CNSNews:

In his 1995 State of the Union speech, then-President Bill Clinton repeatedly dared to repeatedly use the term “illegal aliens” while calling for tighter border security and doubling deportations.
In his speech, Clinton recognized that people “are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.” He called for the border to be secured, hiring a record number of border guards, and “deporting twice as many illegal aliens as before.”

Clinton even expressed umbrage that illegal aliens were stealing jobs from actual U.S. citizens.
“The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers,” Clinton told the audience. “We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.”

Clinton received a large standing ovation for his remarks.

Or

 CNSNEWS:

Former U.S. senator (D-NY) and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as recently as 2006, was also in support of securing the border. As a senator, Clinton voted in support of building a wall on the southern border.

There is more:

Ticotimes January 2014:

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Obama administration toughened its border policies Friday, hoping to stem a surge of women and children into the United States by sending a stronger message that unauthorized migrants will be turned away.

The steps, aimed at those entering from Mexico, include adding more immigration judges to process a backlog of asylum claims and to more quickly deport adults whose cases are rejected. New detention facilities are also being opened for families awaiting hearings and ankle monitoring bracelets will be used to keep tabs on them, officials said.

The moves mark a recognition by the administration that the unexpected influx of tens of thousands of immigrant children has become a serious humanitarian and political crisis. So far this year, 52,000 unaccompanied minors and 39,000 adults with children have been apprehended along the Mexican border — a much higher proportion than normal.

 How about this picture from 2014 (Obama was President).

NYTimes

Two children detained by the Border Patrol in a holding cell in Nogales, Ariz.  This image has been widely shared on social media in recent days, offered as an example of the Trump administration's cruel policies toward immigrants, but in fact the picture was taken in 2014.

 This one too.

mcclatchydc.com:

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama separated parents from their children at the border. 

Obama prosecuted mothers for coming to the United States illegally. He fast tracked deportations. And yes, he housed unaccompanied children in tent cities.

How about the tariffs and trade war going on?  What did former adminstrations think about all of that?

CNN:

President Obama slapped a stiff 35% tariff on Chinese tires in 2009 after American companies complained about unfair competition. They said China was flooding America with tires at low prices making it tough for U.S. companies to compete. The tire tariff gradually waned, and finally ended in 2012.

The tariff saved 1,200 U.S. tire jobs, which had been in sharp decline. And U.S. tire production rose after a major decline.

"Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires," Obama said in his 2012 State of the Union address.

 USTR.gov:

“I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American products.  And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules.  We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration – and it’s made a difference.  Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires.  But we need to do more.  It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated.  It’s not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.”

-President Barack Obama, 1/24/2012

As far as draining the swamp, well I don't think that is much of a question.  After all of the information coming out about the FBI and DOJ.  This story I believe will be going on for quite some time and you could see some former high level people be put in play before this is over. 

What most Americans have believed for some time has been proven to be true.  There is a level of corruption in the Federal Government at the highest levels protecting the select few.

All my Democrat Friends have gone Insane

I have noticed since Trump got elected that almost every one of my Democrat friends have totally fallen off the deep end.

I try to remind them of the time that Obama was President and we would have discussions on how I didn't like the way that Health Care was pushed through and his apologizing all over the world for how bad us Americans were.  They reminded me that he won the election and this is what the voters wanted. 

I would agree that he did indeed win and it is what it is. 

We could have conversations and debate the ideas and politics coming from the Federal Level.  That was the good old days.

Now they seem to have forgotten all of that. 

Trump won.  The American people spoke and he won the election.  This is how it is.

OH HELL NO!!!!  Not to the same Democrat friends.

Trump is the devil.  Trump supporters are the Devil.  America didn't want this.  We should impeach him.  He is corrupt. Blah Blah Blah.

Civility no longer exists with these friends.  They are right and if you disagree then you are a racist and part of the devil also.

I watch them lash out at other friends who disagree with them.  Watch them call life long friends racist.  Watch them demean longstanding friends. 

You can't even engage them in conversation about it.  They are right and everyone else is racist and the devil.

Rep. Gwen Moore has no clue

Rep. Gwen Moore again showed how she doesn't have a clue what is going on.  She just speaks the party line and really has no idea what she is talking about.  She is uninformed and doesn't seem to care about actually getting informed on the issues.

Following President Trump's pick for Supreme Court she had this to say -

JSOnline:

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee): "Unsurprised @realDonaldTrump picks radical inexperienced SCOTUS nominee that believes Trump’s above the law. Kavanaugh should not be confirmed under any circumstances."

 First of all, she shouldn't be surprised.  President Trump has had a list of people that he said he would pick from if a vacancy came open.  Kavanaugh was on that list, so no surprise there.

She then says Radical.  What does Radical even mean?  He doesn't change the laws, he decides cases based on the laws as they are written.  Not sure what she is trying to say here.

Next is inexperienced.  Well here is where she goes completely off the tracks.  Inexperience?  Really?

USA Today:

WASHINGTON — On paper, Brett Michael Kavanaugh may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in generations. 

Like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas, he has served on the second-most powerful court in the nation. Like Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch, he brings more than a decade's experience as a federal appeals court judge. And like Justice Elena Kagan, he has worked at the side of a two-term president.

  

But Kavanaugh's 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, combined with his Yale pedigree, Supreme Court clerkship under retiring Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy and top posts under President George W. Bush, give him a résumé the court's current justices can't match.

Guess Gwen Moore missed all those qualifications along the way.

Just another Representative who has no clue and thinks that being an obstructionist and bogging down our system is good for the American People.  

Connecticut Man gets 18 Months for Self Defense

Yeah.  This makes total sense.  WTF?

FOX News:

A Connecticut man who was assaulted by three juveniles while at work has been sentenced to prison for stabbing one of the attackers.

The Connecticut Post reports 21-year-old Jeffrey Sumpter of Bridgeport received 18 months in jail Monday at a Stamford courthouse.

The paper reported that Sumpter — who was convicted of felony first-degree assault — also will have to spend three years following his release on probation. If he breaks the law during that time, Sumpter could be made to serve all or part of a 42-month prison sentence.

Sumpter was working at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Norwalk last October when he was jumped by three males. During the assault, Sumpter stabbed one of them in the leg.

“I was defending myself,” Sumpter said during the hearing.

Judge John Blawie told Sumpter that he believed his version of events, but had to follow the letter of the law.

Under Connecticut law, assault victims cannot use deadly force if they are able to retreat from their attackers. By contrast, 27 states — most notably Florida — have passed so-called “stand-your-ground” laws, which entitle citizens to use force in self-defense if there is a reasonable belief of a threat.

Maxine Waters getting the treatment she Pushed for Trump

Maxine Waters is upset that she is being harassed and threatened.

Just less than a week ago Maxine Waters used her platform to encourage people to harass Trump Cabinet personnel.

“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

 I thought her calls for harassing people were out of line and still do.  I also think the treatment she is getting is completely uncalled for and over the line.

The problem is that when you call for this type of treatment and push people you sure as hell can't complain when it comes back at you.

The Democrats and their Hollywood crowd are trying to fire up their people with outrageous speeches and crazy vulgar things.  Then they get upset when supporters of the other side react.

Of course then they complain about how wrong they are and over the line and racist.  No!  Your over the top and over the line actions have elicited a similar reaction as yours.  If you want to push the narrative then be prepared when it is pushed back.  Both sides are wrong, but you can't complain when you yourself are part of the problem.

Both sides need to condemn this type of rhetoric and actions.  There is no room for the treatment of people like this.  The vile language of the Comedians calling Sarah Sanders names and the treatment she received at the Red Hen should have been condemned by both sides.  The attacks on the DHS Secretary should have been condemned.  Kathy Griffin should be chastised by both sides for her actions.  Media outlets like MSN, MSNBC and CNN with their people calling names and attacking people should be called out and punished for their actions. April Ryan just a day or two ago chastised a Trump Supporter for claiming she got death threats.  Calling her a liar.  Robert DiNero saying Fuck You to President Trump.  All of this is ok in the eyes of the left.  They like to push this narrative and then cry when they get backlash.  The backlash isn't good and it isn't acceptable.  Neither is your actions and it only makes it much worse.

Democrats Daily Narrative Change not Working

The Democrats have no message for the American People.  They have no plan yet for the midterm elections.  They have no idea what to do to win.

The only plan they have had is to oppose Trump at every turn and hopefully the American People will side with them in the midterms.  Hopefully.  It isn't working yet.

Every day the narrative changes and they can't settle on a plan.  They keep grasping at straws.

First the tax plan would be their rallying cry.  It is a payout for the rich on the backs of the middle class and the poor.  It will kill the economy and drive us into debt.  That was their rallying cry.  Vote Democrats and we will raise taxes and fix this.  However the economy is stronger than it has been in many years, unemployment at historic lows and the median income for all groups is on the rise.  This will not work well for the Democrats. 

Time for something new.

Lets fight Trump on DACA.  Lets rally behind the DACA Kids and that is what you will get if you elect Democrats.  Trump called them out.  Offered a plan to protect the DACA Kids and reform overall immigration.  The Democrats turned their backs on the very people they were supposedly rallying around. 

Time for something new.

North Korea.  Trump and his rhetoric is leading us right into a nuclear war.  They filled the TV Screens with how dangerous this is and how we are going to be at war soon.  However Trump was able to turn it into a sit down with the North Korean Leader and has opened communication to try and stabilize that part of the world.  Trump was praised around the world, but not by Democrats.

Time for something new.

Trade war with the world.  We will stand with our Allies against our very own President.  We will push to allow them to continue to unfairly treat our own American Workers and Companies.  We will stand with them to punish us own people.  We will see how this plays out, but it isn't looking good for the Democrats so far.

Time for something new.

Immigration.  Oh my Lord Trump is separating families at the border.  People who try to illegally enter the Country are being separated and held.  This is inhumane and not what America is about.  Trump is evil.  Look at all these pictures.  Oops.  Many of the posted pictures were from the Obama Presidency and Obama did the same thing.  Then it slowly filtered out that Obama did the exact same thing.  It is how the law is written.  Presidents are following the laws passed by Congress.  Then Obama feeling the heat just opened the border to people coming in with kids.  Which has now created the crisis we have now on the border.  Trump responded with a push to reform the law and then holding the illegals but also wanted to keep the families together.

Time for something new.

The Supreme Court.  Justice Kennedy is retiring.  Oh no!  There goes Roe v Wade.  Trump is going to take away abortion rights for all women.  Vote Democrat and lets stop this from happening.  Never mind that a big part of the Republican base is in fully support of Abortion rights and the LGBT rights as well.  We can scare everyone and convince them that Roe v Wade is over. 

Time for Something new.

The Democrats have a few very big problems they have to overcome to create the big blue wave.  Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and California.  Nancy and Chuck are what most Americans hate about Politicians.  They may be able to win their elections at home, but the rest of America don't want them in power.  This will hurt the chance for a blue wave.  This will cost them votes.

Secondly, the issues in California will be of a huge detriment to the Democrats.  The rhetoric that comes from the Hollywood elites, the Maxine Waters and the mess that the state of California has become is a perfect picture of Democrat values.  This doesn't play well for the majority of America. 

The Truth about Trump and his Presidency

Trump is making all kinds of waves in Washington and around the world.  Some Allies aren't happy, some Americans aren't happy, the left is in a complete meltdown and some Republicans aren't happy. 

Trump is being Trump and people with Agenda's don't like it. 

Trump is a businessman.  He is all about getting things done.  He doesn't care about people getting mad and he doesn't care about the politics.  Something is wrong and it needs to be fixed. 

Trump was attacked for his stance on North Korea.  Warning the NK Leader that if he didn't stop his path of Nuclear weapons and threats to the United States and his neighbors he would face "Fire and Fury".  It didn't take long for the NK Leader to realize the 8 years of Obama was over and he was dealing with someone who doesn't just talk a good game.  Trump offered North Korea a chance at prosperity and growth in exchange for killing its Nuclear Weapons.  Time will tell, but in less than 2 years Trump has put a decades long menace on a path away from trouble.

Trump has been working diligently and pushing congress to drain the swamp in the FBI and DOJ.  It has become crystal clear that after 8 years that both organizations had been corrupted at the top by bias and politicized. 

Trade and Allies.  For years and years we have been paying tariffs to other countries.  Even though they do not pay tariffs to us.  Trump as a businessman was fully aware of this and recognized it as unfair and not in the best interest of America.  Our so called Allies were unwilling to drop the tariffs and Trump responded by adding tariffs.  They got a taste of their own medicine and are not happy about it.  Trump is absolutely right, this is an easy fix and can be done in a day.  Remove all tariffs and have open trade across the board.

Trump is taking on the immigration problem and again not looking at it through political eyes.  The fix is easy and can be done rather quickly.  Close off the border and force people to come in through our ports of entry.  If we did that then most all the other problems can go away.  A vast majority of the American Citizens are all for immigration just do it the right way.  If we close the border and force people to use the ports, then that stops the human trafficking and allows immigration in a way that we can control it.  Not really that difficult and makes absolutely no sense why people are against it.  Trump also wants Congress to act to clean up the immigration system.  Everyone in the country will tell you it is broke.  President after President has illegally decided to not enforce the laws on the books and given Congress a pass on fixing it.  Trump says no, his job is to enforce the laws and Congress must act to fix it.  If you don't like the law then fix it. 

Foreign policy is a whole new and welcome change for America.  Trump realized as did most Americans that it was crazy ridiculous that we were the world peace keeper and paying the bill for it all.  We drove up our debt to keep the peace around the world while everyone else benefits.  The United Nations is funded mostly by the United States.  Yet the United Nations rarely operated in the best interest of the United States.  Trump, like most Americans, wasn't going to tolerate that and put the United Nations on notice.  He also called out other Countries around the world to pay their fair share of the United Nations and NATO.  We haven't refused to protect or help anyone.  We just aren't going to be taken advantage of any longer.  Trump is right and he isn't a politician.

The economy in the United States is on a roll like no one has seen in years.  Trump has worked diligently to remove regulations and open the economic engine of America up.  Obama has tried to take credit for it, but reality is, if Obama was still in charge we would still be slowly chugging along and not anywhere near where we are today.  Big Government kills the economy.  Getting the Government out of the way and you see what is happening.

Trump is a businessman and he solves problems.  He doesn't kick them down the road and he doesn't tolerate inaction.  That has rubbed a majority of the politicians the wrong way.  They are not used to actually having to do their jobs.  They are used to letting things just continue along as they are and never addressing the real issues in America.  Trump wants action and pushes for action.  That is what a majority of Americans want.  Trump doesn't have all the answers, but he freely admits it.  He wants Congress to solve the problems.  He wants to help them. 

Trump may not be someone that you agree with, but he is a President that has taken action like we haven't seen in years.  Instead of standing in the way people should help solve the problems. 

Oh wait.  Can't do that because that will make him look good.  Can't solve problems on his watch.

The Extreme Left is Leading us to a Civil War they can't win

People are fed up with Politicians and the Hollywood crowd.  If you think I'm just biased then go look at the facts.

People like Maxine Waters and her calls for attacking Trump Cabinet members are leading to head to head confrontation.  Supporters aren't going to sit idly by and watch the extreme left bully people for their beliefs and doing their jobs.  It's absolutely ok to disagree with them, its ok to debate it, but when you resort to calling for them to followed and harassed, then you have crossed a line.

The comments you hear coming from Comedians, Actors, Actresses and Athletes is beyond appalling.  Even a Democratic staffer yelling obscenities at the President in the Capitol.

This is beyond appalling and this is exactly why the Democrats and their supporters will fail to see the so called blue wave.  People are fed up with this type of behavior.  Yes it plays well with the extreme left, but not most of America.

Remember when one (1) Republican Representative yelled "you lie" at President Obama during the State of the Union Address?  Both sides condemned him and he was forced to apologize.  Well those days appear to be long gone and the rhetoric is just getting worse and worse.

The double standard is worse and worse.  They complain about comments that Trump makes during his tweets (which I don't agree with either) yet they go to the extreme on the other side and justify it.

Most common sense people agreed that it wasn't right to not serve the couple in Colorado because of their beliefs.  Some thought that the owner had the right to not make the cake, others thought you just make the cake and move on.  The left was all up in arms and even the ACLU came to their defense to sue the bakery.  The left boycotted the place.  But then you turn to the double standard when a restaurant in Virginia refuses to serve a member of the Trump White House.  The applaud them and throw their support behind them.  No ACLU, No outrage.  It's a double standard and the American People are tired of it.

You lose all credibility when you have double standards.

I don't think people necessarily are migrating to the Republicans because they have their own problems.  I just think that common sense people are migrating away from the Democrats because of their distorted views, double standards and extreme discourse. 

Eventually this will all come to a head.  With the ramped up rhetoric coming from the left and the push for discourse will eventually explode.  When one person goes beyond the bullying and harassment and injures or kills someone the Democrats will have a day of reckoning.  They didn't learn when a gunman opened fire at the Capitol Hill Baseball practice.  This is going to be bad and the backlash is going to be worse.
