Will President Trump win the Nobel Peace prize?
The American Constitution is about the best laws and guidance ever written. Natives have a strong input into the written Constitution, they see it as native and American law. Now most of us are living like we live on a an Indian reverse.
Unfortunately, Corperationism elitists use the Constitution like toilet paper. Money and the Federal reserve is made by a private Corperation, soon that will be worth toilet paper, than the world war will start. Trump never did have control. Just like all Presidents who did not have a puppet chance in hell..
The Zionist and christains plan on exterminate all Muslims, they almost exterminate American natives, not militarily, but legalistic, starvation and disease. No prizes should be given to ones who create the same genocide actions, now or ever more.Peoplepower, I'm going to have to disagree with you. The ratio of radio stations is 600 to 80 because people want to listen to conservative ideas as opposed to liberal ideas. People vote by listening to radio shows, which creates more advertising revenue etc. That's the way of a free society. People get to choose what is on the air rather than the government. Fake news? Yes, it's true. Many stories on CNN have had to be pulled or changed. I think Trump will benefit the media. News stories will now be subject to important scrutiny by people. Media now has to prove it's not fake news. The public benefits. My wife's family is infected with liberals. They get upset when I tell them they think with their emotions and not their minds, that's why conservatives win and liberals don't understand what is going on. President Trump's victory had NOTHING to do with Russia and everything to do with liberals not understanding the political climate. If they were able to take responsibility for this loss instead of blaming everything else, they would mature. Then, and only then, will liberals begin to succeed more in the media and politics. Until then, they will seem like children to me who are just throwing fit because they didn't get what they want. This is an view held by many Americans.
Fox News people: Your logic, is there are 520 more Fox News radio stations than liberal radio stations because more people want to listen to conservative ideas more than liberal ideas. I have a question for you, what came first, the listeners are the stations? Do you think people just called Fox News and said could you please broadcast on my local radio station because I like conservative ideas better than liberal ones? I don't believe so. Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox is all about money and hates liberals. He bought up the rights to those 600 stations to broadcast his propaganda. We all know the more things are repeated whether they are lies or the truth, the more people will believe them. That's what Hitler did to turn the German people against the Jews.
Now let's talk about Fox News and lies. This is what Readmikenow said and he is correct.
"Peoplepower, that's how all people make it big in media. Limbaugh and Hannity don't say they're entertainment as much as they say they provide opinion. They're not reporters. Limbaugh and Hannity do not hide the fact they're biased conservative commentators."
And therein lies the problem. You people are hearing opinions and believing them as fact. There is a difference. Trump's "Fake News, deep state, and spy gate" are his opinion based on what Sean Hannity said, but you people actually believe it as fact. Also, CNN have real journalist and investigative reporters on their programming that pride themselves on providing the most accurate news available at the time. Fareed Zakaria, the Chief Editor of Time Magazine, has notable world leaders and heads of state on his program. He didn't "make it in big media" by providing just his opinion as Readmikenow states.
When the line between opinion and fact is blurred, It becomes very dangerous for the country, because the line between truth and lies is also blurred. When you have a President who delights in using "Truthful Hyperbole", there is a problem. Here are 50 false statements that Fox has made that I'm sure listeners believed. (You notice I back up my assertions with proof. They are not just my opinion, just like the link I provided about why Trump calls the media fake news.)

https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2018/0 … nald-trumpHere is how it actually works. I can’t believe I have to explain this. It is economics 101.
A radio station puts on a talk show and hires a host. He or she spend an hour or two discussing events of the day and offers some commentary and insight and sometimes entertaining satire...
The listeners tune in and tells their friends. The numbers rise and advertisers take notice...
Pretty soon, its a hit and it becomes syndicated...
That is called free market and private enterprise at work.
If a host becomes stale, the listeners leave and the show is cancelled.
There is no magic or conspiracy...Jack: Syndication means that Fox sells its programming to other stations and presents it to the listeners. You are right it is economics 101 and a matter of supply and demand. The supply is provided by the station and the demand is created by the viewership, not the other way around. As demand is increased more sponsors will be buy into the programming.
By the way, you never commented on my links about Fox News putting out false claims and statements.
I watched both CNN and Fox this morning. CNN was about the G7 conference and Fox was about how Trump is going to slap more sanctions on Kim if he backs out of the nuke deal. They made a big deal about how tough Trump is. CNN was showing how unpopular Trump is with the other members of G7 because of his position on tariffs...two separate realities at the same time. I'm sure Fox will paint the G7 members as terrible people because they don't support Trump. So is CNN telling the truth and is Fox just providing opinion? One situation is happening in real time. The other is pure conjecture and is based on something that may not even happen.Peoplepower , Welcome to the America haters club , Only the left in America is so obstruction deranged as to show more hate for America and America's interests in trade deals than to show disdain for those countries who have sometimes ten or a hundred percent higher tariffs on importing American made goods into THEIR countries .
It's NOT an all out trade war to individually adjust those negative tariffs to better agreements , a few countries that have previous agreements that put the screws to America first and their country last , aren't worth trading with . Why are you such a Take America For Granted pundit ?I can answer that for Mike. The truth is, if these same policies were made by President Obama, they would be cheering...that is the difference. Anything from Trump is bad, everything from Obama is great.
To some of my liberal progressive friends, Obama was the greatest president in the modern era.
When I follow up with the question, how did the Democrats lost the last election... supposedly presented as the third term of Obama...? They have no clue.
Obama was a terrible president and worst for his party. Under his 8 years, they lost the House, the Senate majority and many State governorship and houses...
If he was so great, why did the voters reject them?
A recent theory by Maureen Dowd of the NYT...”he was too good for us and ahead of his time...” hahaahorseback: Why do you have to insult people if you don't agree with them? The only thing I said about trade wars was that CNN was presenting the G7 Conference and the members were upset with Trump...period. But now that you mention it. Decisions have consequences. Here is one for the Solar Panel industry that is affected by Trump's tariff plan. I'm not against America. I love my country. I just don't want to see it screwed up by someone who doesn't know what he is doing. You people are all happy talk right now, but time will tell. Let's see how this high drama soap opera unfolds.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles … cktake-q-aSo how many times HAS Trump stated "We will level the playing field " as trading goes ? And the left says trade wars ! Solar panels : How many newer American solar panel companies mfging here have filed Chapter 11 because of cheap chinese imports ? Do you know ? There was one large one in California just last year , If we are to have green energy in the US , wouldn't it be great if we were not forced to buy China's panels to do that ? Wind mills ? Batteries for electric cars ?
ahorseback:
"So how many times HAS Trump stated "We will level the playing field " as trading goes ? And the left says trade wars ! Solar panels : How many newer American solar panel companies mfging here have filed Chapter 11 because of cheap chinese imports ? Do you know ?

Batteries for electric cars ?"
You don't get it do you? Our manufactures send materials to China to make into goods that are sold back here. Why do they do that? Because Chinese labor is cheaper than our labor. Therefore, the retail price here is cheaper even including shipping.
Right now workers are campaigning for hire wages. How is that going to lower cost of goods and services? Whether you or Trump realize it or not, the 21st Century is a global market place. Cheaper labor = lower cost to the consumer and increased bottom line to corporations.. You can blame our corporations for out sourcing labor to increase their bottom lines.
Look at American cars. You will be hard pressed to find the entire car manufactured here. Computers, TV,s, Cell phones are all outsourced. If it cost more to import goods and services, who do you think that cost is going to be passed onto? Hint...It's not the corporations.
"Level the playing field" is just a euphemism for trade wars.Your last line speaks volumes , Black or white Peoplepower , on or off , war or peace , seems the only two extreme choices that you are able to see or be intellectually capable of recognizing in trade tariffs . Some products from America to other nations endure thousands of percentages of tariffs , did you know that ? What about the company HERE that pays that % THERE , aren't we supposed to protect them ? I'm not so stupid that I don't understand the trading of materials , and I'm smart enough to recognise , as Trump does , that we come first , YES the U.S. comes first when possible , when practical , when profitable .
It isn't only "trade war" that happens in negotiating , It is "trade agreement ". ,changes , negotiations ,they are fluid , they remain fluid as the costs of materials and the geographic origin location of raw or processed material does .
Why is it trade WAR ? Because it's Trumps idea to straighten them out ?The Nobel committee is shaking in their boots...
The North Korean agreement to denuclear as a result of Trump puts them on the spot.
What will they do?
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch...
Thry are so transparent, you can see right through it.
I get your point about the different reporting of cnn and fox.
But then again, cnn has anti Trump stories 24/7. Is that the media driving public opinion or the other way around? You are smart, go figure...
Trump is using his tweets to fight back against a bias media.
You might not agree but to many average Americans, the media is biased.
Past GOP candidates like Romney and McCain did not fight back even when they were maligned by the press...unfairly, so what is the lession?
Teump wins because he is Teump and he does not back down and he runs ring around rhe media and it drives th m crazy...the cycle continues until they figure that out.
So far, I am putting my bet on Trump.
My portfolio is doing great so far and the media is laying off people left and right.By the way, I would expect nothing less coming from the other 6 nations meeting at the G7 summit.
If I was one of the leaders, and my country has a trade advantage against the US and the US president is calling foul, guess what, I will criticize him all day long...
So Spanky made promises he may not be able to keep, while getting nothing concrete in return from Kim. I don't believe Spanky discussed this with any of his military advisers beforehand. That's simply normal for him.
One thing's for sure, he made Putin's week with pissing off our allies and saying we wouldn't have the military exercises off the Korean peninsular. China is elated as well. Way to go Spanky!
True progress is exactly what happens when you don't have political correctness as THE president !
Randy, as always you have overlooked the facts. last night Kim committed to denuclearization of NK. Perhaps you were waiting for fireworks over the Korean peninsula? President Trump has accomplished a historic task I have added the four points that Kim and Trump agreed on last night. Facts, not delusions. It's all coming together, and I for one am very overjoyed with the progress made last night.
1. The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
2. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.Sharlee: This is all nice happy talk with no specifics. My concern is when is all of this supposed to take place? NK is known to agree to many things that have never taken place.
If we pull our troops out of South Korea and Japan, haven't we lost our first line of defense against NK, Russia, and China?
By the way, if you look at the U.S. from the other side, there are people out there who say we have used nukes twice, once in Hiroshima and once in Nagasaki. I understand why we used them, but from their viewpoint, we are the only country that has used them. I have Pakistani friends who have made those statements.So what? We used it to end a war agressor and to save American lives...
That was the problem with Obama’s foreign policy...he took nukes off the table and was negotiating from a position of weakness.
With NK, and Iran...they only repect power and strength.
Trump showed them he means business and they caved like a cheap camera...Jack: When Obama was president, Kim didn't have nukes that were capable of reaching the Continental U.S. Now Kim can negotiate from a position where he knows his regime and legacy will survive.
As far as our nukes go, we have had Minuteman missiles siting in silos and submarines with nukes since the 60s all targeted and ready to launch at our adversaries. They have been available to all the presidents from that time forward, even including Obama. So you call that kind of firepower a position of weakness? You don't think that Kim knew about our firepower until Trump says America will attack with "Fire and Fury?" And you believe those words brought him to the Summit?Mike, I heard President Obama say numerous times that nukes are off the table... that is weakness.
Also, he always telegraph what he intend to do as to when to pull out of Iraq... and letting your enemy know your time table... I am sorry but he is just not a good commander, or a strategist or a negotiator...
His signature deal was the Iran nuclear deal and he couldn’t get it to Congress because there was little support for it...
As you can see, Obama was a failure and he received the Nobel peace prize which the Nobel committee later thought it was the wrong award...Jack: Pulling out of Iraq was a time table that was setup by Bush that became an agreement that Obama had to comply with. The agreement:
"The Bush Administration later sought an agreement with the Iraqi government, and in 2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory".
Please don't call Obama a failure because you are only seeing one side of the picture. The republican congress and the conservatives blocked every move he tried to make and he still succeeded in spite of their efforts.
I just proved to you that Obama had to comply with that force agreement. Your propagandist make it look like it was his decision to pull the troops out. There is more to the Obama story than right wing propaganda. Trump wants to destroy everything that Obama did, because he wants to destroy his legacy to make himself look better. Please don't make those comments without doing the research. He did not lead from behind and he was not weak. I just hope you don't have any pre-existing health conditions, because Trump is repealing that law as well.He did not have to comply with anything.
He used it as an excuse to leave Iraq before it was ready...
It caused untold misery for the people and lead to the rise of ISIS.
He was a failure of major proportions.
All the generals begged him not to withdraw and he did it anyway...
Very sad.Jack: Here is the author of that piece.
Marc Thiessen writes a twice-weekly column for The Post on foreign and domestic policy and contributes to the PostPartisan blog. He is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the former chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush.
He was a former speech writer for Bush and is trying to distance Bush from any fault with his policy.
Jack: Please tell me again that Obama did not have to comply.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.%E2%8 … _AgreementJack: Obama did not cause the rise of ISIS. Please stop making false statements about Obama. You are operating from the standpoint of person who has been brainwashed by right wing propaganda. Please read this and think in terms of a time table and see if Obama created the rise of ISIS.
ISIS was born out of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. When U.S. administrators, under Paul Bremer, decided to "de-Baathify" the Iraqi civil and military services, hundreds of thousands of Sunnis formerly loyal to Saddam Hussein were left without a job — and they were mad. Al Qaeda chose to capitalize on their anger and established al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) to wage an insurgency against U.S. troops in Iraq (Saddam was secular, but his intelligence and military supporters were able to make common cause with the jihadis of al Qaeda).
During this time they were quite active in waging a sectarian war against Iran-backed Shiite militias in central Iraq and bombing hotels in neighboring Jordan. Many of their members were imprisoned in U.S.-run "Camp Bucca," where they were able to meet up and radicalize.
Fast forward to the U.S. "surge" in 2007: The U.S.-installed, Shiite government in Baghdad began reaching out to Sunni tribes, encouraging them to reject AQI. By this point, AQI was basically defeated and it looked like peace was coming to the Middle East (kinda).
Fast forward again to the Arab Spring and the uprising against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad (more info on that here). During the Iraq War, AQI would frequently go back and forth between Syria and Iraq to resupply, so it had a lot of contacts in the country. When Assad began shooting and gassing his own people, and the peaceful uprising turned into a civil war, AQI saw an opportunity to establish a presence there.
It quickly moved into Syria, renamed itself as The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and merged with its Syrian counterpart. This pissed off al Qaeda's HQ, because they were already establishing a separate al Qaeda in Syria (aka al-Nusra front) and wanted it to remain separate. The two groups fought another mini-war amongst themselves and officially separated with AQI rebranding itself into the ISIS we hear about today.
It is important to note that this tiff between the two groups was global and concerned some "practical" things (like if al Qaeda should rule territory or kill Sunnis), as well as ego matters (like if Osama Bin Laden's lieutenants, who have been on the run since 2001, should be the ones calling the shots). The intra-jihadi battle was waged on the battlefields of Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and northwest Africa, as well as in jihadi forums on the darknet.
As the Syrian civil war ground on, ISIS became the first rebel group to capture major cities (Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor). In the summer of 2014, the group had its breakout moment. In a lightning offensive, it captured Mosul in Iraq and drove south until it was on the borders of Baghdad. A few weeks later it rebranded itself as a Caliphate and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance (bay'ah). At this point, groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria and Ansar Beit Al Maqdis in Egypt's Sinai began pledging allegiance and flew the black flag of ISIS. They also established presences in half a dozen other countries.
ISIS grew in notoriety through an aggressive social media and viral video strategy that had it engage with sympathizers and glorify violence. It beheaded many of its victims, including U.S. journalist James Foley. It often filmed executions through drowning, burning alive, and shooting. When it captured the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar, it institutionalized slavery and rape of the Yazidi minority. In short, it installed a reign of barbaric terrorism.All that is true but when ISIS was on the move early in the game, Obama down played them calling them the JayVee team...you remember that quote...
He could have stopped them by bombed their convoy as some recommended...including O’Reilly at Fox news.
After he missed the opportunity, ISIS moved into the cities and embeded with the civilians which made it much harder to fight...
Thst is what I meant by Saying Obama causing the Rise of ISIS...
He did little to stop them and later it was too late.
It took Trump coming into office in 2017 to go after ISIS in a big way, He changed the rules of engagement so that our soldiers could fight them and win. That is what a real leader does...Mike, I am sorry but I don’t have the time or energy to relitigate the past 8 years..
You can believe what you believe about the savior Obama but apparently, the American people disagreed and decided on a new course. Sorry, but your side had its chance and blew it.Jack: It is early in the game. Let's see how this high drama soap opera plays out. One thing is for sure, the conservatives have control of everything right now. They can continue to blame Obama, but as time marches on, it will be much more difficult to do. They will own whatever the outcome will be. I guess you can tell it drives me crazy when you bad mouth Obama and blame him for everything, because I know better, so does Trump. That's why he wants to destroy him and be the Savior and King. The people didn't disagree. The electoral college did.
Well now we are on the same page. Let’s let history determine who is right and who is wrong.
I disagreed with Obama during his term but I never hated him. I just thought he was wrong and miss guided and above his capabilities. He never had to make an executive decision in his life and career.
He was a progressive and ruled as one and pushed his agenda even when it clearly did not work. He spent us into oblivion...
I hope you will have the intellectual honesty when the time comes and assess what really happened under his 8 years and why the American people, yes the electoral college, rejected his way forward.
The next 8 years will demostrate what is possible when Conservative principles are applied both at home and abroad.
Let’s revisit this in 6 more years...Jack: "He never had to make an executive decision in his life." What do you call taking out Osama Bin Laden? What do you call ACA? What do you call bringing the country out of a financial meltdown that was not created by him?
Jack: Anwar Al Baghadi wanted to create a Caliphate. He wanted to start at one end of the country and conquer the land mass, WWII style. Obama denied him that by bombing his troop movements, so they had to embed themselves in with the villagers and attack at night. If Obama didn't bomb him and his troops, he would have been successful. Again you are coming from the Fox news propaganda point of view, not reality.
Is there "no specifics"? Through the years we had had other agreements with Kim's relatives. I am very sure these other agreements were very well documented. need I remind you they all fell apart. None actually addressed the people of NK. This is unique to Trump's policy. he is offering a failing economy a lifeline. Not sure why something this simple could not have been thought of before? Yes, Clinton offered cash, but did was not a path to a better economy. Whereas other nations could consider trade with NK.
1. The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
Do you feel it would be a good thing if North and South Korea to end their war?
2. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
Has the first step been taken in regard to the denuclearization of NK? This is vague, although Mike Pompeo will be in NK this Thursday to iron out some specifics. I am willing to a bit to see what details he will offer on the specifics. The when and how denuclearzation began.
3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
I consider this positive.
I know the media has been reporting that Trump will pull out some of the troops from SK, and possibly some from Japan. Have I not been able to find an actual quote from Trump on that? I do know he has mentioned possibly stopping military drills. None of this was mentioned in the document.
"If we pull our troops out of South Korea and Japan, haven't we lost our first line of defense against NK, Russia, and China?"
I think this is a moot point. And Trump was talking about cutting down troop numbers, not pulling all the troops. Plus, Japan has fielded the most sophisticated ballistic missile defense system outside of the United States. As does South Korea in 2017 THAAD. "Made in the U.S., THAAD is considered the first and most prominent missile defense system against a potential missile attack from North Korea. Consisting of a network of tracking and guidance radars, and the interceptor launchers, the land-based system can shoot down a missile both inside and just outside the atmosphere, during the re-entry phase of the flight.
As you are aware if need be we could have troops in any given area very quickly.
It would be hard for me to comment on the fact that yes we dropped A-Bombs. Hopefully, we never have to make a decision like that again. Yes, we are the country that used them, and we are also the country that helped develop the UN. And we are the country that gives billions in aid to nations in need.
If your not a friend of America, you do not get any nukes.
If you are a country who wants nukes for defense against the greatest terrorist US nuclear weapon military ever in history, your screwd again. US is the only country who has used nuclear weapons on enemies, so kiss your ass good bye.
If you don't want their Centro banking system, you are targeted as US worst terrorist enemy and must be destroyed.
What ever happen to not killing anyone to get a peace prize?So who has Trump killed?
Your anti-american rant is getting old.
If not for America, you would be living under Nazi Germany...
You have no credibility and America could have ruled over your country and it problably should.
I drive to Canada and everything I see is American chain stores...
You might as well be the 51 State...Did you see this...

If it was not for Americans, we would all be specking German.
Please stop using this crap because Americans were a faction of deaths compare to the rest of groups.
First German is too difficult to speak, not like Spanish.
2nd the British empire invaded or ruled most of the world for centuries.
3nd Try ruling Royal China, most multi cultural country in mankind's history.
I'm not anti anything, I love American as I love the world. I'm cautioning Americans to take action on your greedy bullies who are destroying everything.
Racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism & Islamophobia are poisoning our societies and not the source of the largest puzzle problems, for it's a by product of the Greedy bastard..
Open your mind and see with your heart. We can forgive the murderer of your forefather. It is the regret of what you don't do now with your the State and Bankers in the future
British empire tried to own the world with a pen and sword. Now American/Isreal use digital and guns and nuclear weapons and killer Drones. A simple use the ink of a scholar works better than the blood of a martyr. US kill more
Civilians, children than military and 10s of millions are harmed. if your bible takes you to heaven, Jesus is not impress that Christians being world Champion of murders and wars. Your leaders misinterpreted your lords reasons for warfare. An eye for eye turned into killing with blind eyes and blind faith. All to worship and obey the greedy. To suffer the conflicts and distraction, so they can walk away with your money and your children future.
A total waste of life. US leaders should be ashamed and banned from any peace prize.I am speaking as a metaphor. As you know, the 2nd world war was very close. It could have gone either way if the US did not enter it after attack of Pearl Harbor...
Also, the Germans were working on rockets and the atomic bomb...
If they had won the war, the world would be divided among the Japanese who would rule most of Asia and the Germans and the Italians...the rest of the world.
The Germans will be the stronger of the three and dominate.
You and I would be speaking German because they would have taken over the US and Canada.
Read your history. The world was fighting ever since Cain and Abel...
It took the righteousness of the US, having won the 2nd world war and allowed Germany and Japan to rebuild...
Your anti US and anti Jewish is a sign you are part of the One World Order thinking. You worship at the feet of the UN and the World Court...and The EU...which are all secular organizations and corrupt.
They don’t have faith in God and would not give him the credit for salvation of our world.
We are on the right side of history... we are not perfect but all things considered, I rather be a US citizen than a citizen of the world.About 90℅ of wars are Religion related.
Russian were more involved in fighting the Nazis than the US.
America has clearly won only one of five major conflicts:
Why, when America is not in the right they loose their will to Win Wars. America has clearly won only one of five major conflicts: Operation Desert Storm. Korea was a bloody stalemate, Vietnam an “outright military defeat,” and both Afghanistan and Iraq — America's two longest wars — hardly look like victories.
Last war with Canada, they could not defeat us with the world's longest border. Go ahead blame Canada, we got hockey players and hunters. You will get more than a kick in the balls from me attacking my family.
In War history the most common or largest factor of winning a war is Population of country. When world had 10 times their enemies population it's over. Besides, the Dragon cannot defeat the local snake.
Japan against China, India and the rest, ha ha haha. Germany against the US. Japan and Germany would not make across the sea and Italy would not be insane enough to join them. Or it would be sausage, pizza and susish cut up into peace's. Once they got to America, citizens have ten times the guns than their US military and far greater population than what could possibly survive the trip. .So by that logic, if we end all religion and believe in God, all would be peachy? The rainbows will shine and we will all sit by the campfire singing kum by ya...
Are you living on the same planet?
America may not be perfect but so are all other humans in history with the exception of Jesus.
We are just a little better than the rest of you...and that is what American exceptionalism is all about.Lol, Jesus would never get elected in America, if he could find it on a biblical map.
His platform would be equality, help the sick and poor. Then say everyone be angry with the bankers, then be would be shot like Kennedy.Someday you should live in a small quiet town in middle class America. If you haven't been totally consumed by hatred already you would come away with a new mindset.
No hate in my world vocabulary. My mission is to bring awareness for a folks about the greedy bullies, Already lived in small towns USA.

Why would any country be fearful that America would use nuclear weapons we are a peaceful nation that actually been very giving and kind to other nations in need. And do you really consider the USA a terrorist country? A yes or no will suffice.
Peoplepower, in all honesty, I like having other countries know we used nuclear weapons during a war. It's one thing to see your enemy has a big gun. It's another thing to know they've used twice before on their enemies. Makes other countries think even harder about being an enemy of the United States.
Trump got farther with Kim than any of his predicessors without offer billions or pallets of cash. You’ve decided to put all your cards on a writers biased “Opinion”
Great source ! Objectivity at its finestMODERNDAYSLAVE: That money that was in those pallets was Iran's money that was given back to them. Please check your sources before making false statements.

Everybody:
Here are the two realities and the epitome of hypocrisy:
https://nowthisnews.com/videos/politics … orth-koreaYes but he is the sitting president. If he really wanted to, he would have gone to Congress and obtain the approval... with possible bipartisan support...
he chose to leave as he promised as a candidate. No issues on the ground would change his mind even when the generals pleaded with him to stay...
He is an idealog and the people are the one suffering the consequences...You can point out the hypocrisy of Fox but then you would havr to point out all the other hypocrisies of the left media...
Here is the truth...
The people choose with their remote control.
And they trust Fox nees more than the other news channels...

Why don't you point out the hypocrisy of the other media. That should not be my job.Peoplepower , I know pointing out electoral truths to you is fairly fruitless but ,When Hillary's votes won , that means NYC , LA , Seatle , Chicago , Balitore and Richmond Va. spoke for all of us ?
Would that victory had been okay with you ? Don't answer , I already know .
Yes, it is that simple .ahorseback: From where I stand, the electoral college has outlived its usefulness. It can be exploited by micro targeting campaign messages to individuals. That's how Trump won was by using Cambridge Analytica to target the states with the least amount of voters and the most amount of electoral college votes. So no, it is not that simple, but it was done with sophisticated technology. Welcome to the 21st Century.
And that same tactical state targeting hasn't been done for decades ? Answer my question Peoplepower , is it okay that California and New York alone elect a president over the will of the majority of states and peoples will every four years ?
ahorseback:
A: Peoplepower , is it okay that California and New York alone elect a president over the will of the majority of states and peoples will every four years ?"
M: So you believe that California and New York could have enough votes to win an election with out the votes from the remainder of the 48 states? Read this:
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20 … vote-ones/
A:"And that same tactical state targeting hasn't been done for decades ? Answer my question
M:That's correct. It has not been done for decades. Not micro targeting individuals with campaign messages that move an individual emotionally. Before Cambridge Analytica, campaigns were only based on demographics, not what moved specific individuals. Apparently you have never heard of Cambridge Analytica. It is the tool that Steve Bannon used to influence the vote to favor Trump. Here is the link to the article I wrote:
https://owlcation.com/social-sciences/C … s-it-goingHorse says America is not a democracy, it maybe true or not.
If the majority of Americans knows election is not about democracy. Then call it a selection from the powers to be.castle: Horse is probably right. We are no longer a democracy, since the republican party controls both the federal and state governments. A democracy requires more than one party to represent the people.. And a republic requires that the president does not think and act like a king. It's a good thing that a presidential term is only for eight years. Trump will probably try to extend that after he has his parade to honor his greatness.
I know US democracy is a farce.
The President is an elusion of freedom. US is a business. Yet, most Americans want fundamental changes to US democracy. Kind of a schizophrenia system. When the time comes Americans will over throw their Government when the abuse gets too high.
As far as a US leader winning a peace prize, that's impossible. Nobody terrifies the world greater.
Since 1968, more Americans have been killed by guns than have been killed in all wars in U.S. history.
If US can not clean up their own backyard, why should the US policing the world with bombs and bread and get a prize. That's like giving a prize to the best fox that guards the hen house.They gave the award to Obama just for being elected president.
I pose this question not that I want Trump to get the Prize. I just want to demonstrate the hypocrisy and corruption that is in the International community of the UN the Nobel committee and the World Court...and all these loon groups who have done little to improve the world's poor.
The one shining light is the generosity of the America people. Who have donated record amounts to World charity organizations... How much did Canadians donate?I would not compare US empathy and compassion throughout the world with Canada. Canada is world famous as peace keepers and greatest intake of immigration per capita. I would not have to hide a Canadian flag on my luggage like the US during trips.
Canada is welcoming of immigrants because you need workers..
Your harsh climate in the winter is not so appealing.
I have nothing against Canada, just people who attacks the US for no good reason.
It is well established the US military besides defending the free world also responds to natural disasters as earthquakes and tsunami around the world...
Our charity has feed millions and provide needed life saving medicine...
Your anti America and Anti Jews rants are just not credible.
You are entitled to your biased opinion but don't expect people just take it laying down...Jack: Forty six hundred people died in Puerto Rico because of hurricane Maria. What did Trump do? He went there and tossed paper towels to the people and commented about how many people came to see him. They still don't have electricity, water, and shelter. And he wants to spend millions on a parade for himself. Long live the King.
As a president, he doesn't even realize that hurricanes are becoming more severe and he should not only be preparing for the damage they can provide both to people and our economy, but also how to improve the infrastructure to deal with the severe weather cycles. But, instead he dropped out of the Paris Climate Agreement to placate the GOP.
And yet Canada give so little yearly in aid. CAD$5.6 billion verses USA 33 billion? We also pay 22% of the cost to support the UN... America has always been empathic and compassionate to any countries in need. Canada, not so much... Not sure always sitting on the sideline could be represented as "empathy and compassion". In regards to immigration it is apparent you have not researched the numbers. The United States remain the number one nation when it comes to welcoming in legal immigrants. Not to mention illegals. But, I can assure you Canada will now the joys of Illegals. My local news just last week reported that many immigrants were the migration to Canada. Just a short boat ride across the Detroit River... At some points it swimmable. check out the problem in Quebec. Thank you, Canada! You will soon feel the joys of the rising costs of caring for illegals.

mike, When Democrats have the White House and both houses of Congress, it is perfectly fine with you...
That was how we ended up with the ACA if you recall without a single GOP vote.
Now it is the opposite, you claim it is no longer a democracy.
Well, I have news for you. We are a republic. It was never meant to be a popular vote.
If that was the case, Hillary would be President.
Our Founding fathers knew better to trust in mob rule.Jack: Again you are coming from right wing miss-information. The GOP obstructed every move that Obama made. He wanted the ACA to be a single payer system, but the GOP would not vote on it. Therefore he had to compromise and make it group insurance system where the well people pay for the sick people. By the way, the reason, it is so difficult to repeal ACA is because it is a body of laws that engages every aspect of the health care industry. That's why it is over 2,000 pages. It is not a 19 page insurance policy outline that the GOP said was better than ACA. That was just a photo op and propaganda.
Here is why the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Obama. This is from their committee. Again you are minimizing Obama's efforts based on miss-information and propaganda.
https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes … press.htmlSo how did the hope and change worked out?
The Peace Prize was un-earned...
Here is story how the secretary of the Nobel committee regrets that decision...
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34277960
My right wing believes is what keep America from going over the deep end.
The ACA was designed to fail - no 2000+ pages is worth the paper it is printed on.
No one read the bill...including Nancy Pelosi.
We need sensible smaller bills to deal with our ever growing population and health care problems.'The ACA was the wrong way to go and now it is too entrenched to repeal...
It was designed to do the long term agenda of getting us to a single payer system.
it is working towards that goal as we speak.
Unfortunately, John McCain single handed voted against its repeal.Jack:
J: So how did the hope and change worked out?

Here is story how the secretary of the Nobel committee regrets that decision...
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34277960
M: He didn't say the peace prize was un-earned. He said it didn't achieve what they expected it to. The reason being Obama was put down by the right wing for being awarded it, instead, they expected he would be praised by everybody.
J: My right wing believes is what keep America from going over the deep end.
M: Sure that is why we had a financial meltdown in 2008, because of the GOP repeal of Glass Stegal Act. We went right over the deep end.
J: The ACA was designed to fail - no 2000+ pages is worth the paper it is printed on.
No one read the bill...including Nancy Pelosi.
M: If it was designed to fail, why hasn't it? No one has to read the bill except the users of the bill and that is the entire health care industry, because they have to comply with the laws that are in the bill.
J: We need sensible smaller bills to deal with our ever growing population and health care problems.'The ACA was the wrong way to go and now it is too entrenched to repeal...
It was designed to do the long term agenda of getting us to a single payer system.
it is working towards that goal as we speak.
M: No it's not, a single payer system is like Medicare. The GOP is not going to allow that to happen Trump repealed the Individual Mandate and left 4 million people without insurance.
http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/he … s-climbingThe financial meltdown of 2008 was the fault of the mortgage industry Fannie Mae...which Democrats pushed to relax lending rules...
Here is the repeal of the glass Seigel act signed by Bill Clinton in 1999. -
“Repeal. On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed the Financial Services Modernization Act that repealed Glass-Steagall. Congress had passed the so-called Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act along party lines, led by a Republican vote in the Senate.“
The reason ACA has not failed is that it was designed to fail in 10 years. If you read the bill, you would learn that. The fed. Government subsidies to the States ends after 10 years. That is when all the health exchanges will go under wilthout the assisance of the fed. Government.
I predict it will fail around 2020, exactly 10 years after ACA was force upon the American people by Democrats.Jack, Some wonderful news that is relevant to the subject of your original post. President Trump has been nominated for A Noble Peace Prize. President Trump was nominated by two members of Norway’s governing Progress Party. He will not be eligible for this year's award due to the January deadline. But in the running for next year. Seems he is receiving respect for his deed from many other countries. It's unfortunate we have so many American's that continue to downplay this wonderful first step to the denuclearization of NK. I am very pleased with the outcome of the summit and look forward to following the progress of a full-fledged treaty. This is a history-making moment.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles … s-nrk-saysUh oh. The two that made the nomination? Any nomination by them is going straight into file 13 - they are part of a group advocating limited immigration and lower taxes. Not things that are popular in the EU.
That is all very true. But, president Trump has been nominated and actually the first part of May A group of 18 supporters in the House of Representatives also sent a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, formally nominating the President for a Nobel Peace Prize. At this point, I don't think he will win. He could cure cancer, and be accused of contributing to world overpopulation. A bit scary, is it not? Or should I say half ass-backward?
Wow. After they just handed one to Obama, apparently for nothing, I thought that was their new standard. Trump actually did something. How'd he get nominated?
Jack: We have both a democracy and a republic.
Common definitions of the terms democracy and republic often feature overlapping concerns, suggesting that many democracies function as republics, and many republics operate on democratic principles, as shown by these definitions from the Oxford dictionary online:
Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..."[1]
Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."[2]
Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a democratic republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.[3] As with many large systems, US governance is incompletely described by any single term. It also employs the concept, for instance, of a constitutional democracy in which a court system is involved in matters of jurisprudence.[3]
Sharlee
One time America was the best Country in the world, note to now. They are best at many negative things, deeply indoctrinated by NWO presented by prior Presidents. Why wouldn't US give UN 22℅. UN agenda is to bring world population down to two billion along with Agenda 21. This kind of tyranny has to stopped, it lead us to a new Dark Ages of death, pain and miserly.
Canada foreign aid is 1.7 ℅ of the federal budget, US is 1℅. Since Canada pays higher taxes that is double to an average citizen of US. US is ten times our population. More American are immigrating to Canada than Syrian refugees.
Per capita
Canada is 5 times intake of refugees, since there is 65 million refugees each year and US is doing most of the bombing and invading, Europe and us keep mopping up the US huge mess. US has had 222 wars since their beginning, and at war 93℅ of the time. Canada assisted in a couple, yet not invaded.
Per capita
Many times better in sports.
The PPP is better
Better health care
Better Education
Social assistant
Happiness rank
I"m in the process of immigrating to Columbia. Because US will take over Canada when the NWO hits the fan.I know a guy who retired and moved to Columbia. I'm sure you've probably been there before. He had to adjust to many things. The one thing that still drives him crazy after being there for four years is if you make plans to meet with people at 5pm...people may start showing up at 5:30 and even later. According to him, the weather is great but there are some very dangerous places you need to know to avoid. He likes how people are much more relaxed. Good luck. I've heard some good thing about living in Columbia.
Relax is important at my age. Money stretches out and don't worry about bill.
If hell breaks out in North America, I got a green self substainable group I'm with.
Thanks
