So one day of raised stock values is worth how many years of degrading infrastructure?

Nope, not tired of winning yet.

Crackdown on MS-13 gang nets more than 200 arrests
More than 200 MS-13 gang members were arrested in a major sweep called "Operation Raging Bull," the Trump administration announced Thursday.

Underscoring its promise earlier this year to crack down on a brutal gang, the Trump adminstration on Thursday announced the arrests of dozens of members of MS-13.

“Operation Raging Bull,” conducted Oct. 8-Nov. 11 across the United States, resulted in 214 arrests, officials said.

The operation was led by the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in conjunction with local and federal officials.

Conrad Black: Trump is already the most successful U.S. president since Ronald Reagan

It is distressing to read and listen to the nonsense in the Canadian media about Donald Trump. It is too early to predict whether he will be a successful president or not. But no one relying on the Canadian media would be aware that he has more than doubled the economic growth rate, reduced illegal immigration by about 80 per cent, withdrawn from the insane Paris Climate accord, helped add trillions to U.S. stock market values, created nearly two million new jobs, led the rout of ISIL, and gained full Chinese adherence to the unacceptability of North Korean nuclear military capability. He will probably pass the greatest tax cuts and reforms since Reagan, if not Lyndon Johnson, by Christmas, and may throw out the most unpopular feature of Obamacare, the coercive mandate, with it.

I don't own any stocks or bonds, however, my index funds are doing great.

Homes in my area are appreciating 30-40k per year.

This is what was happening in the housing bubble.

It's phenomenal to be part of it.

Didn't once-distinguished Newsweek sell for $1 a few years ago? Perhaps this is why.

The latest LOL-worthy Newsweek headline:

HOW MURDERER CHARLES MANSON AND DONALD TRUMP USED LANGUAGE TO GAIN FOLLOWERS

Trump is probably Time Magazine's Person of the Year ...

However, Trump turns them down , saying "probably" isn't good enough.

For the love of, the Time "Person of the Year" is not an honorary award, it is 'an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year"'(from the Person of the Year: 75th Anniversary Celebration issue). Keep in mind other individuals or groups on it are varied, and include Pierre Laval, FDR, Wallis Simpson, Stalin, Khrushchev, Queen Elizabeth, Hungarian freedom fighters, Nixon, baby boomers, Ayotollah Khomeini, Deng Xiaoping, the Endangered Earth, and user-generated content. And, why the concern about being on a magazine cover anyway, form what I can tell print is dying out.
