A Comparison of President's Cabinets

If anyone wants to understand why I personally suspected all along that the former president was deliberately attempting to bring this nation's economy to its knees, in order to make everyone an economic prisoner of the State, check out this message shared  from my brother.

 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

 

These numbers help explain why these last eight years were disastrous for the USA. Read the last item and then look at Trump's Cabinet. No wonder Washington, DC is in a turmoil.

 

Trump's picks are bosses who expect their employees to work.

 

This is what bothers a lot of people about Trump. He won't accept a can't do attitude, or inexperienced, incompetent performance. He will get results; it just might not be smooth or pretty. 

 

Here are some amazing statistics: Make sure you read to the bottom. An eye opener! 

 

I. These 10 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed! 

1. California (Illegal Immigrant capital of the nation!)

2.. New Mexico

3.. Mississippi

4... Alabama

5.. Illinois

6.. Kentucky

7.. Ohio

8.. New York

9.. Maine

10. South Carolina 

 

II. Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. 

 

What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000,which averages out to $137.13 a day. 

 

To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for 40 hour week, while the average job pays $24.00 an hour.

 

 III. Check the last set of statistics!!

 

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.

 

You know what the private business sector is: A real-life business not a government job.

 

Here are the percentages:

 

38% T. Roosevelt

40% Taft

52% Wilson

49% Harding

48% Coolidge

42% Hoover

50% F. D. Roosevelt

50% Truman

57% Eisenhower

30% Kennedy

47% Johnson

53% Nixon

42% Ford

32% Carter

56% Reagan

51% GH Bush

39% Clinton

55% GW Bush

8% Obama

90% Trump

 

This helps explain the bias, if not the incompetence, of the last administration: ONLY 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

 

That's right! Only eight percent - the least, by far of the last 19 presidents! And these people tried to tell our corporations how to run their businesses?

 

How could Obama, president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?

 

 Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."

 

 Probably a good idea to pass this on, because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media, or from the alphabet networks.

Something To Hide?

It wasn't that long ago when someone once said, "... the only people who don't want to disclose the truth, are people with something to hide." BHO - White House address, Aug. 21, 2010



The ShiftWA site today posted these two article links at the top of their "Morning Briefing" email. Both the Spokane-Review and the Everett-Herald have written articles about the state legislature's dealings in secret:

The Legislature “has simply exempted itself from the rules requiring the government to do its business in the light of day,” Shawn Vestal writes in an editorial piece that calls lawmakers out for their “shameful self-dealing” as it relates to public records law. (The Spokesman-Review)

“Lawmakers should end their public record exemption,” the Everett Herald Editorial Board wrote this last weekend. “We can make no case more clearly than the Public Records Act, itself…” (The Everett Herald)

 Reading these two editorial pieces makes it clear to all tax payers in the state that the concept, in the minds of legislators, that they are elite and above any accountability to those who elected them to their position. If this attitude concerns you at all, I urge you to contact your legislative district representatives - both Representatives (#1 & #2) and Senator - to let them know how you feel about this. If we don't communicate with them, they won't have reason to care whether they'll retain their position. I can assure you, they WANT to!

What Many Americans Don't Know

In our modern world the main way we get our news and shape our opinions and attitudes about most things happening from day to day is the mainstream media. Some get that news from newspapers, television, Internet websites, or sadly, from social media. The last two sources are only recent ones, and we're now discovering that much of what comes out of the Internet, but especially social media - FB, Twitter, SnapChat, etc. - is riddled with "fake news" that most consumers don't realize is just concocted by someone with an agenda.

For almost 70 years now, one particular topic of newsworthy interest for much of the world has been the re-establishment of Israel in the middle-east. Much of what we've heard from the press has been slanted - especially during the previous administration - in favor of the "plight of the Palestinians" in relationship to the Jews living within their country. The slanted view promotes the claim that Israel is taking the land of the Palestinians; especially from the late Yaser Arafat. (If you're not certain who this man was, or what he claimed, use your search engine instead of asserting I'm being biased towards these people.)

However, there's a little known fact and reality that the mainstream media does not tell their readers much, if at all. That fact and reality is that within the country - and especially in Jerusalem - Arabs and Jews work and live together in mutual trust and harmony. That's right, there is equal freedom and support for each other because of the values and principles which are upheld and applied in Israel.

To prove this point, I urge and encourage my readers to view this brief Prager U video which explains this truth from a Bedouin who explains why he is part of the Israeli Army. You may find yourself surprised and enlightened.

Why Our Current Tax System Needs Scrapping

Our elected officials in Congress are facing political suicide if they don't pass a new tax bill. President Trump believes what he and the House has sent to the Senate is good for the middle-class; and it will be. However, we still have to see what the Senate will offer up as their ideas for how to revise the current tax code. Yet, if you really understand the current structure of how our tax system works, neither of what they'll offer is going to actually be fair.

Don't believe me? Watch this five minute video - something you may have received in an email before - which is presented in a visual/graphic style format. If you're paying attention when watching it, you'll quickly realize why the system we've had - created by Congress in the past - is not fair and needs to be scrapped for a more fair system... like a flat tax. Whatever the percentage would be, it certainly would be better than how it's structured currently.

Thanks to the Democrat Party!

A liberal reader will, no doubt, have an adverse reaction to this author's remarks before they get very far through them. That's to be expected, though, because of their social warrior conditioning they've most likely received during their college indoctrination.

I urge my readers to restrain from such a reaction, however,  until you get to the very last line. Then, you'll understand why.

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

I know of no white person alive today in the United States who has ever legally owned a black slave, or any slave for that matter.  Almost 700,000 mostly white men died 160 years ago to end slavery.  Jim Crow ended generations ago.  Yet black America, for the most part, is still locked in inner-city gang violence and economic hardship.  Why?

Is it because America is racist?  Is it because of some overhanging white supremacy?  Is it because of the Illuminati?

No, unfortunately, it is because of black culture and the adoption of Democratic Party government dependency.

We have just had eight years of the first black president.  Black athletes, and entertainers, routinely earn multi-million dollar incomes.  I can easily name several black billionaires without even trying too hard.  A large percentage of black America is very successful.  But, it is not enough. Too many black youth are being left behind.

And it is no one but black America’s fault.  

No one can solve this problem but black America.  No one can throw enough money at it.  We’ve tried that.  Black America needs to look in the mirror and stop blaming others, especially white people.

I am obviously white and conservative, and I served in the military, which, during my time, was as color blind as you could be.  I can also honestly say I don’t give a damn what color your skin is, neither do any of my friends.  I do care about your actions.

Blacks are around 15 percent of the population.  Depending on what study you look at, they commit around 40 percent to 50 percent of violent crime in America.  Of course, there is going to be a problem with police.  And, of course, there are some bad policemen.  However, those bad apples do not kill black people statistically anymore than they kill white people.  Even Harvard said that recently.  If you were a cop, and you had to work in a neighbor-hood infested with crime and murder, wouldn’t you act differently than in a neighborhood where there was little crime?  The most effective thing black America could do to improve its relation-ship with police is to significantly reduce violent crime where they live.  Yes, that means change the culture of where you live and your community.

I for one am tired of being blamed.  I am tired of dealing with people who only want something from others.  I don’t oppress anyone.  I don’t hold anyone down.  I’m tired of getting on the D.C. metro and seeing white people being harassed by roaming gangs of black youth with their pants around their knees.  Yes, you want a white person uncomfortable?  That makes me uncomfortable.  It’s our nation’s capital and it’s embarrassing.

Blacks have nothing but opportunity in America.  Try finding the same opportunity anywhere else in the world.  If you are born in America you’ve won life’s economic lottery.  Take advantage of it.

The problem is this generation has been taught an agenda of cultural Marxism by our education system.  They’ve been taught to be a victim, and it’s still going on.  All you have to do is watch the young black, female student at Yale screaming at the college president to understand that.

Blacks in America don’t even know how good they got it.

Don’t kneel when my anthem is played.  Too many people died for that flag.  You are free to protest but not then.  I am free to not watch, or pay to watch you play if you do that.  The NFL should make it a rule that you stand for the National Anthem.  There is no free speech to disobey a private employer on private property.  This would solve the problem immediately.

The NFL has deeply offended most of America.  They will pay an economic and reputational price, as they should.

We have a real cultural problem in this country, the result of the Leftist multicultural agenda.  Multi-ethnicity is perfect and should be encouraged.  Having more than one American culture is destroying the country.  But then again, that is what the Left wants.

Do Black Lives Matter

It is your job to determine if this is a racist rant or just a review of factual data.

WHAT IF ALL THE BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA, WHICH IS 13.3% OF THE TOTAL U.S.POPULATION:
Amount of people in poverty would drop - 34%,
The prison population would go down by -37%,
Welfare recipients would go down by - - - 42%,
Gang members would go down by - - - - - 53%
Chlamydia cases would go down - - - - - - 54%,
Homelessness would go down - - - - - - - -57%
Syphilis would go down  - - - - - - - - - - - - 58%.
AIDS & HIV would go down by - - - - - - - -65%,
Gonorrhea would go down - - - - - - - - - - -69%,
Average ACT scores would go UP - - - - - 5.5 points.
Average IQ would go UP - - - - - - - - - - - -7.4 points,  putting us 3rd in the world tied with Japan,
Average SAT scores would go UP almost - - - - -100 points,
The average income for Americans would go UP over $20,000 a year,

BUT DEMOCRATS WOULD LOSE 76% OF THEIR VOTING BASE!!!

And, many criminal defense attorneys would have to find another line of work!

Yes, Black lives DO matter!
