    Why the Left Cried When Fidel Died

    heavily psychoanalytical based article you got there. To expound upon what the writer said, Castro was an embodiment of the cult of personality. The Left turned a blind eye to all of Castro's atrocities and swallowed every piece of propaganda coming out of Havana and elsewhere saying how great...

    Here's What Donald Trump's White House Team Looks Like So Far

    Scott Pruitt from Oklahoma to head up the EPA. General John Kelly to head up DHS. Gov. Branstad from Iowa for Ambassador to China. Linda McMahon to head up the Small Business Administration. or this is what is being speculated so far. I think the SOS will probably be Rex Tillerson from what...

    Food Stamps

    Yeah ^, I think the rules on this differ by state - here I am, Jerome: http://lowincomerelief.com/did-you-know-your-ebt-card-could-do-this/ I know in California it is supposed to be restricted to the homeless, elderly and disabled but if a restaurant accepts any EBT card at all, any of them...

    Food Stamps

    yes they can and are: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2011/09/fast-food-chains-getting-into-the-food-stamp-act/ or, it's okay if it's a takeout order: http://firstquarterfinance.com/does-subway-take-ebt/ in this state they are giving recipients the option of putting it on an EBT card...

    Food Stamps

    Yeah, I don't want the list to be restricted but there is a problem when soft drinks are the most popular item purchased with EBT cards: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/357700000-1-grocery-chain-soft-drinks-no-1-purchase-food-stamp then again, the obesity problem in...

    Trump's Landslide?

    No, Andy Jackson was a senator from Tennessee for years IIRC - he was another military hero. He was supposedly volatile, like Trump is.

    Cabinet Positions, Staff

    Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, Homeland Security Secretary, Commerce Secretary, and there's a zillion more secretaries Trump has to pick. Not surprised with the pick of Elaine Choa for Transportation, she is experienced and a triple minority - asian, female, and Mitch McConnell's wife.

    Trump's Landslide?

    Landslides are whatever you want them to be - yes, Light, 13% over the minimum would be a landslide if the popular vote was proportional - 56-44 or so. I would put this election in between "close" and a "landslide"- <300 EVs and a win is "close" but calling this one a landslide is an...

    Trump's Landslide?

    off = office, had to go make a typo. Wendell Willkie is another one that ran for the presidency without running in any other election but he lost to FDR.

    U.S. Economy Roars Back, Grew 2.9% in Third Quarter

    Wow, I thought I read through the whole thread but now I see the post - well, they are saying they think Q4 will come in at between 2 and 2.5 so you will be right there about Obama and his less-than-stellar GDP numbers. If Trump does actually spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure, whatever...

    Trump's Landslide?

    Yeah, anything over 300 EC votes is usually classified as a landslide in a technical sense of the definition but I think this election was pretty close. It doesn't matter anyways, Trump has a mandate just by the fact that his party still controls all of Congress. I think his win was only...

    U.S. Economy Roars Back, Grew 2.9% in Third Quarter

    Hold up there - I know these numbers can be heavily manipulated, but USSA Today is saying the GDP has been revised to 3.1 percent in Q3: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/11/29/economy-grew-solid-32-q3/94569108/ sounds like increased consumer spending was the biggest impetus.

    Here's What Donald Trump's White House Team Looks Like So Far

    Well, here she explains CC on her website: http://betsydevos.com/qa/ she comes off as a teacher to me, lol - but this is probably more political payoff - that family is big in Michigan and gave Trump a lot of support in the election. On the downside, JEB thinks this a great appointment. Can...

    Here's What Donald Trump's White House Team Looks Like So Far

    Yeah, not so sure a swamp of that magnitude can be drained in only four years, much less two weeks. I think Reince will make a great Chief of Staff, he was critical to Trump's success in Wisconsin in the general election. I know a guy from Alabama that is angry about the Sessions pick for AG...

    Nikki Haley: Trump Won Despite Republican Officials, Not Because Of Them [VIDEO]

    Nikki gave Trump some trouble back in the primaries but it sounds like they have made up: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article115758533.html Secretary of State, Nikki? Not sure if I like that, the Secretary of Commerce position seems better for her. She is...

    Please post your new predictions about Trump

    It's just a gut feeling that Trump will serve four years or less as POTUS, could be a result of a sudden death or an assassination. There are a lot of crazies out there, his father lived well into his nineties and the sibling that died at a young age drank himself to death. I think Pence will...

    Please post your new predictions about Trump

    Okay, a lot of these will sound like "duh" predictions but here goes: 1. the MSM will call the US in an official depression on 01/20/2017. It will stay in one. 2. price of gasoline will continue to rise until another bubble is popped, probably early in 2019.. 3. Obamacare will be gutted, only...

    Ryan Opts to Seek Top House Democrat Post

    Yep, I did a double-take, too, thought it was probably a mistake in the title of the article. This is the guy from Akron, I think. Well, I'm not a democrat, so I think they ought to keep Nancy as Minority Speaker, can't let a good losing streak go to waste, but they would be better off getting...

    Cabinet Positions, Staff

    Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel? Fine. Jeff Sessions as AG? Fine. Pompeo to head the CIA? Fine. Michael Flynn as his national security adviser? Fine. But Jerry Falwell Jr in education? Doesn't seem like a good fit, neither does letting Chris Christie take over Michelle's "let's move"...

    "I think Donald Trump is in the White House Because of Me"

    http://thefreethoughtproject.com/corporate-media-lies-death-suffering/ hard to believe a word they say Yeah, and that's what some troll that lies routinely says he did, he could be lying about that again. http://watchdog.org/260776/trump-minimum-wage-protest/ I think the Bernie Sanders...
