Latest News...
With the retirement of Justice Stevens, President Trump with the majority of both Houses of Congress is on the verge of appointing another conservative judge to the Supreme Court. This will have long term implications for our country perhaps 30-40 years. The balance of the court could shift even more conservative over the next 6 years. Two more justices may retire in that period.
It may turn out that President Trump could be the most consequential president in the last 100 years. It all started with one election.
The Supreme Court 2018
Summary
It is no wonder Democrats are beside themselves these days. There antics of the last election, rigging the election in favor of Hillary Clinton has backfired. They have disenchanted their left wing base who supported Bernie Sanders. The 8 years of progressive changes under President Obama have been overturned for the most part. The only thing left is the ACA Healthcare law.
One and half year into the Trump Presidency, America is on the mend. The economy is roaring and GDP has returned above 4%. Unemployment is at all time low in all demographics. Foodstamp use is way down and disability claims is also down.
The only huge problem is our national debt which has risen past $21 trillion this past year.
With all of Trump‘s successes, you would think he would have the support of everyone. It is understandable why Democrats are against him. It is politics as usual. Yet, some RINO Republicans are also against Trump. People like John McCain, Jeff Flake and Bob Corker to name a few... They are inexplicably on the wrong side of history. Then again, they are lame duck Senators.
It was Barack Obama in 2009 who said “elections have consequences...” boy do they in 2016...and now we are seeing the results.
