Black Activist Explains Why African-Americans Are Doing So Much Better Under Trump Than Obama

The Western Journal
January 13, 2018

Conservative black activist Horace Cooper says there is a good reason the unemployment rate hit an all-time low last month for African-Americans — President Trump’s economic policies.

The unemployment rate fell to 6.8 percent in December, which is the lowest rate ever recorded by Labor Department in the 45 years it has been tracking the statistic.

Cooper — who is a member of the conservative, free-market African-American group Project 21 — told The Daily Signal not only is 6.8 percent the lowest unemployment rate on record, it also represents the narrowest gap between black and white Americans at 3.1 percentage points.

Trump stated on Wednesday that he is “very proud” of the low unemployment, and tweeted earlier in the week, he was “so happy about this news!

On the campaign trail, Trump promised a “New Deal for Black Americans,” which included high-paying jobs. “What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump?” the then-candidate asked at rally in Michigan in August 2016.

Cooper said Trump should rightly take credit for the rapid turn of events for African-Americans.

Fusion GPS, firm behind disputed Russia dossier, retracts its claim of FBI mole in Trump camp

Glenn Simpson, the Fusion GPS founder who sponsored the unverified anti-Trump dossier, claimed in August and again Jan. 2 that the FBI has a source inside the Trump camp who lent credence to the document.

When a transcript of his secret August testimony was released on Tuesday, news headlines immediately latched onto the disclosure as a boon to a dossier whose core charges of Donald Trump-Russia collusion have been denied and not confirmed publicly.

Then suddenly, as quick as the headlines went up, some one close to Fusion was waving off reporters. Mr. Simpsonhad “mischaracterized” the source. It was not some one on the Trump inside, but apparently an Australian diplomat.

He was featured in a Dec. 30 New York Times story as the source who tipped off the FBI. Campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos told him over drinks that a Russian-linked professor knew of “thousands” of Hillary Clinton emails in the hands of Moscow.

How Mr. Simpson knew of the diplomat last August was unclear. He would have known of him in January when he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in which he again told of an insider source.

“As we told the Senate Judiciary Committee in August, our sources said the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp,” he wrote.

Moments after Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, unilaterally released the transcript, the inside-source story spread, especially in London. The city is home base of Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who wrote the dossier.

In his testimony, Mr. Simpson told of Mr. Steele’s meeting with FBI agents in Rome in September 2016. Mr. Steele told Mother Jones magazine he was trying to jump-start an investigation into President Trump.

Mr. Simpson testified, “Essentially what he told me was they had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source and that — that they — my understanding was that they believed Chris at this point — that they believed Chris’s information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization.”

“It was someone like us who decided to pick up the phone and report something,” added Mr. Simpson, who said this person was not a Steele source, but an FBI one.

Jamie Dimon: Dems don't have a strong candidate for 2020

The Hill
January 13, 2018

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in an interview on Friday that the Democratic Party does not have a strong candidate for the 2020 presidential election.

“The thing about the Democrats is they will not have a chance, in my opinion. They don’t have a strong centrist, pro-business, pro-free enterprise person," Dimon told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business's "Wall Street Week."

"The American public is not clamoring for more government. They were angry about the Great Recession, they blamed banks, they blamed Washington, but they’re also angry about the bureaucracy,” he continued.

Democrats are set to attempt to take back both chambers of Congress in 2018, while speculation swirls around a slew of potential candidates to take on President Trump in 2020.

Figures such as Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and former Vice President Joe Biden have all been floated as possible contenders.

Dimon, who serves as the chairman of the Business Roundtable, said in November that Trump would likely be a one-term president. He has since said he regrets those comments.

Mark Levin: Obama's FBI used unverified Trump dossier to obtain FISA warrant (January 11 2018)

Mark Levin Show
January 12 , 2018

There is a bombshell report by Sara Carter which proves Mark was right about Barack Obama’s FISA abuses! The Trump dossier was used by Obama’s FBI to gain approval for a FISA court warrant to surveil Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The bastardization of our intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement by a sitting Democrat administration aimed at destroying and defeating a Republican nominee is nothing like we’ve ever seen. We can’t live in a free society when administrations of one party are surveilling transition teams of another party. The dossier circulated throughout our intelligence agencies from the FBI and was broadly used by the Obama administration. There is so much that has to be uncovered here which has involved the felonious leaking of names of Americans leaked to the media and abuse of the Patriot Act.

Trump threatens to record future Oval Office meetings

Axios
January 12, 2018

After denying reports that he called Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as “shithole countries," Trump suggested that maybe he should record future Oval Office meetings.

Yes, but: Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, who was at the meeting, confirmed Trump's remarks this morning: "I've been seeing the comments in the press, and I've not read one that is inaccurate."

Notable: This is reminiscent of when Trump tweeted that his former FBI Director James Comey "better hope that there are no tapes'" of their Oval Office conversations, which set off a media firestorm questioning whether Trump had been recording his meetings.

Just a Few Reasons Why the Left Want Trump to be Declared Unfit for President

SST !!! News

Well, it seems the attacks on Trump just keep coming. First they tried the "racist" agenda, then they tried the "Russian collusion" agenda, and both of course, have failed miserably.

Now, the latest plot by the Left is to label President Trump as "mentally unfit".

Of course, there are plenty of credible people coming out to defend Trump (including Trump himself), so let's just look at some of the results of this "unfit" President so far....

1). This crazy President has somehow brought small business confidence levels up.. according to Business Insider:

The NFIB's chief economist, Bill Dunkelberg, also credited the surge in optimism to Trump.
"The 2016 election was like a dam breaking," Dunkelberg said. "Small-business owners were waiting for better policies from Washington, suddenly they got them, and the engine of the economy roared back to life."

2). Looney Tunes Trump has also caused the job market to hit record highs in 2017 according to Gallup News :

Positivity about jobs among all U.S. adults began to rise on a monthly basis in January 2017, reaching 54% in February 2017. By the end of 2017, it hit 62% in November and again in December. This increase was largely driven by a Republican reversal. The monthly reading for Republicans saying it was a good time to find a quality job rose 20 percentage points to 64% after Donald Trump was inaugurated and ultimately ended 2017 at 78%.

3). Raving loonatic Trump apparently has also pushed policies in his short time in office that has JP Morgan Boss Jamie Dimon convinced that the GDP may hit as high as 4%, according to Market Watch:

Dimon said he expects the “competitive tax rate” to encourage deal-making on Wall Street, pointing to Europe which he said is on pace to grow at a 3% rate. A reading of gross domestic product is slated for Jan. 26.In the U.S., the economy grew at a 3.1% annual pace in the second quarter and a 3.2% annual rate in the third, according to the Commerce Department, exceeding the postrecession pace of near 2% A fresh estimate of gross domestic product is slated for Jan. 26.

4).Meanwhile "Crazy -drinking 12 diet pops a day" Trump and his administration have seen the stock market drive consistently higher, according to Fox Business:

Stocks have been on a tear ever since President Donald Trump surprised the political world with an election victory on Nov. 8, 2016. In fact, on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s win, the Dow has booked its best-ever first year under a new administration since 1945.The Dow has soared 28.5% since Election Day 2016, the fourth-best performance in history and the top mark since Franklin Roosevelt and his successor, Harry Truman, in 1945. Under Roosevelt and Truman, the Dow gained 29.83% in the first year, according to Dow Jones statistics. Trump has surpassed Bill Clinton, who saw the Dow move 26.5% higher in the year following his re-election in 1996.

Now, these are only a few of the reasons they want him declared unfit. Other reasons are that The DOJ and FBI are now under scrutiny for basically covering for the Clintons and the DNC election scandals. They also hate the fact that under Trump, illegal immigration has dropped substantially.

The Trump administration has also allowed the atmosphere for law enforcement agencies to begin rounding up large child sex rings and criminal organisations such as MS-13 that have infested the country.

There are no grounds of course, for the pathetic attacks on Trump's mental abilities. So far he has outsmarted the Deep State, Shadow Government and the Elites.....
