America’s billionaire businessman presidential candidate, Donald Trump has an amazing grasp of how to manage the media, unlike his political contenders, who simply bully and attempt to buy coverage. The Republican nominee is a maverick in this election and has caused a ruckus as he built his business and later, in the realm of entertainment, but Trump also has allies and supporters, including some that may surprise you.
It’s true: “The Donald” doesn’t have the type of notoriety his opponent does, but he also hasn’t been under sustained felony investigation by the FBI…
Check out our slideshow of the entertainment stars who have come forward in support of Trump in an industry not known for supporting Republicans!

Corporate profits are up 166% while workers pay up 3.4%….and the uber rich are the Dems so you think Hillary will make any laws that don’t first protect them?
Hillary would only be another Obama and maybe worse.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH OF O’BAMA’s JOB CREATIONS?
Read this and then you’ll know there could be a HUGE crisis when he leaves office.
Stimulus package that cost $830 Billion
Quantitative Easing: Feds buy debt electronically. This, in turn, swells the Fed’s balance sheet by the amount of assets purchased
So the stimulus helped pull the U.S. out of recession, but other factors did, too
Regarding monetary policy, Burtless is referring to Obama’s reappointment of Ben Bernanke and the subsequent appointment of Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve chairs. Under Bernanke and Yellen, the Fed maintained near-zero interest rates for seven years and undertook three rounds of massive asset purchases known as quantitative easing — both of which were policies to stimulate the economy.
***Unconventional monetary policy, such as QE, is typically used when conventional monetary policy fails, i.e. when short-term nominal interest rates are already close to zero such that they cannot be reduced any further to stir economic activity. Now, in QE, the Fed typically buys debt and MBS from commercial banks, in exchange for money that is created electronically.
President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law. The $830 billion spending blowout was sold by the White House as a way to keep unemployment from rising above 8%. But the stimulus would fail on its own terms. 2009 marked the first of four straight years when unemployment averaged more than 8%. And of course the unemployment rate would have been even worse in those years and still today if so many people had not quit the labor force, driving labor-participation rates to 1970s levels.
Clinton said, “Our economy is so much stronger than when they took office. Nearly 15 million new private-sector jobs.”
Clinton specified “when they took office” in her speech, and the actual number of jobs starting with their inauguration is only about two-thirds as big — 10.6 million jobs. The 15 million number uses a different, more limited timeframe to count job creation.
The statement is partially accurate but takes things out of context, so we rate it Half True.
**politifact
The United States has only added about 9.3 million jobs during his term — from the time Obama took office in January 2009 through December 2015.

So, where is the actual job growth?
temporary help agencies saw their employment soar 52.5% during the Obama administration to just under 3 million.
Hundreds of thousands of teachers, state workers and local government employees were given pink slips over the past six years.
Since President Obama took office, 67 percent of employment growth has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal).
There were 1.94 million more immigrants (legal and illegal) working in the third quarter of 2012 than at the start of 2009, when the president took office. This compares to a 938,000 increase for natives over the same time period.
Shut them libs up quick lol
Laura Loretta kersten- appreciate your rants, now go put on a burka and stfu! I’ll put trumps plane and send you to Saudi arabia you pos traitor!

You can choose a lying, scheming, anti-constitutional candidate…or you can choose a lying, scheming, anti-constitutional candidate…who donated to the other.
BUT the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson (former Republican governor of New Mexico) is a constitutionalist,
Tiffany Sharpey for president.
