Swedish Democrats: Trump Is Right, Sweden’s Embrace of Refugees Isn’t Working http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/23/sweden-democrats-trump-was-right.html Per Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, both leaders of the Sweden Democrats, penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday supporting Trump’s characterization of a Muslim immigrant-led crime crisis in Sweden. “Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “If anything, he understated them.” Some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump’s portrayal of the country – but riots in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery. “Riots and social unrest have become a part of everyday life,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked. Serious riots in 2013, involving many suburbs with large immigrant populations, lasted for almost a week. Gang violence is booming. Despite very strict firearms laws, gun violence is five times as common in Sweden, in total, as in the capital cities of our three Nordic neighbors combined.” They added: “Anti-Semitism has risen. Jews in Malmo are threatened, harassed and assaulted in the streets. Many have left the city, becoming internal refugees in their country of birth.” “For the sake of the American people,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote, “with whom we share so many strong historical and cultural ties, we can only hope that the leaders in Washington won’t make the same mistakes that our socialist and liberal politicians did.”

Like a boss!

Twinks4Trump’s Lucian Wintrich is now a credentialed White House reporter Twinks4Trump’s Wintrich was announced by Gateway Pundit’s Hoft on Monday and both attended the White House briefing on the same day. The Gateway Pundit’s new White House correspondent is now attending press briefings, and it’s unclear how “brand strategist and digital creative” Lucian Wintrich, who frequently refers to the new president endearingly as “daddy,” will approach this responsibility.

I could see House Republicans impeaching Trump, but there is no way they'll impeach Pence. Pence will become President and pick a new VP.

If they both get impeached, doesn't House Speaker Paul Ryan become President? Ha.

Dems, be careful what you wish for. Pence is far more right wing than Trump.

Who do the Democrats on this forum want to be DNC?

Pro-Refugee Trudeau Set to Bite His Tongue on Trump Visit https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-13/refugee-embracing-trudeau-set-to-bite-his-tongue-on-trump-visit The now-45-year-old Canadian prime minister -- hailed by Joe Biden as one of the last champions of liberalism -- heads to Washington for his first meeting with Trump, 70, whose bellicose statements and immigration restrictions reveal a deep gulf between the two leaders. They will meet privately at the Oval Office, attend a roundtable with women executives and a hold a joint press conference at 2 p.m. But U.S. liberals hoping for Trudeau to emerge as Trump’s foil shouldn’t hold their breath. He’s already bit his tongue and focused almost exclusively on an economic relationship that accounts for three-quarters of Canada’s exports. The White House visit will test just how far Trudeau can go to woo the president and preserve trade without selling out his core values. “We both got elected on commitments to strengthen the middle class, and support those working hard to join it,” Trudeau said last week. “And that’s exactly what we’re going to be focused on.” He has little choice. Nearly two-thirds of all Canadian trade is with the U.S., the highest ratio of Group of 20 nations and quadruple all but Mexico. Almost all of Canada’s oil goes to the U.S. and most of the country’s manufacturing is geared toward meeting U.S. demand. Americans hold C$2.3 trillion ($1.8 trillion) in Canadian assets, almost exactly the same amount held by Canadians in the U.S.

Trump and Omarosa crafting order to help HBCU's that Obama neglected http://politic365.com/2017/02/10/hbcus-trump-positioned-to-embarrass-barack-obama-on-black-college-policies/ Less than three weeks in office the Trump Administration is in the process of writing an executive order on HBCUs and there’s loud talk of increased funding. House Republicans are working in parallel with the White House on the issue and will host a HBCU event on February 28 in Washington, D.C. HBCUs were given a rough ride during the eight years President Obama was in office. Often HBCU advocates were left out of the loop by the Obama White House on policies directly impacting their colleges and universities and members of Congress were often placed in the position of having to protect HBCUs from Administration policy. In 2009, President Obama’s first budget cut $73 million in funding for HBCUs. The money was later replaced after members of Congress, led by former House Education Committee Chairman George Miller, scrambled to find a way to fill the shortfall. In 2011, the Department of Education decided to make it harder for parents to secure Parent PLUS loans by tightening credit worthiness standards. The change hit the parents of HBCU students disproportionately and 28,000 HBCU students had their education interrupted. HCBU advocates made plans to sue the Obama Administration over the change but later decided not to. HBCUs collectively lost $150 million in tuition over the Parent PLUS loan decision.

^ Were immigrant activists afraid of Obama as well? Obama deported more than another President in history. It will be hard for Trump to pass Obama in deporting immigrants.

I agree 100%. Bashing Trump does NOT work and will NOT work. The Dems need to give reasons why people should vote for them. Yet they continue to bash Trump and not give reasons to vote FOR them.

Wall St. hits record high on Trump tax talk http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-stocks-idUSKBN15P1GJ U.S. stocks hit record highs shortly after the open on Friday, a day after President Donald Trump said he would release a major tax reform plan in the coming weeks. Trump's promise of a "phenomenal" tax plan helped reignite a post-election rally, which had stalled in recent weeks on concerns over his protectionist stand and the lack of clarity on his policies. The biggest theme for investors is that Trump's tax plan will move quickly and he has always maintained that it is going to be very aggressive, said Uriel Cohen, founder of Alpine Global in New York.

She's always thirsty for power. I wouldn't put it past her to run again in 2020. Can you imagine the Republican joy if she does?

Republicans would LOVE for Hillary to run again in 2020.

Here's how much debt the US government added under President Obama https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/heres-much-debt-us-government-111000046.html Based on the website USdebtclock.com, which extrapolates the US national debt in real time based on committed government spending, the debt will be roughly $19.97 trillion when President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Friday. Thus, the national debt under Obama will have grown by about $9 trillion, or an increase of 86%.

Trump supporters will turn a blind eye to these allegations, just like how Hillary supporters turned a blind eye to the private server and Benghazi allegations.

If you look at the numbers, liberal white women, blacks, latinos, muslims and other minorities is not enough to bring you over 50%. You will lose all the time. You need the white working class males from the rust belt to win.

Oil prices are going back up.

Anti-white hate crimes will not bring any of the white working class voters who switched to Trump back to Democrat side.

Call this disgusting attack what it is: a Trump-hating race crime http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4091036/Call-disgusting-attack-Obama-s-yard-exactly-Trump-hating-race-crime-against-defenseless-white-man-young-black-Americans-shame-country.html Few things shock me, as a hard-bitten journalist. But today, I’m in shock. I just watched a video that didn’t just sicken me, it contaminated every pore of my soul with feelings of pure, unadulterated, raw disgust and hatred. The short piece of film I endured depicts a gang of four black teenage thugs, two male, two female, abusing and torturing a poor terrified young white man with special needs. The sheer scale of their depravity appears to know no bounds.

Has Janet Jackson secretly become a Muslim? Rumours that she has converted to the religion of her Qatari multi-millionaire husband http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4089276/Has-Janet-Jackson-secretly-Muslim-raunchy-star-baby-50-s-good-reason-believe-rumours-converted-religion-Qatari-multi-millionaire-husband.html Even by the standards of one of pop music’s most enduring stars, it’s been an impressive new chart entry for Janet Jackson. Straight in at number one in the list of the world’s oldest first-time celebrity mothers, she has given birth aged 50. Ending one of the most heavily scrutinised pregnancies in recent showbusiness history, the singer announced on Tuesday that she and her Qatari multi-millionaire businessman husband, Wissam Al Mana, had a son. There were few details — there never are from one of planet celebrity’s most private stars — on a birth that has been subject of much speculation since March, when Jackson postponed her world tour so she and Al Mana could focus on starting a family.
