"What magic wand do you think Trump has?"

Small business optimism surges to highest level ever, topping previous record under Reagan

U.S. small business optimism surged to a record in August as the tax cuts and deregulation efforts of President Donald Trump and the Republican-led Congress led to more sales, hiring and investment, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business.

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index jumped to 108.8 last month, the highest level ever recorded in the survey's 45-year history and above the previous record of 108 in 1983, set during the second year of Ronald Reagan's presidency. The August figure was up from a 107.9 reading in July.

But a Democrat official in New York had assured me it was the Rothschilds who controlled the weather! And now it's Trump who controls the weather?



(The Washington Post is officially beyond parody.

Time for some Teddy Roosevelt–style trust busting?

IT’S OFFICIAL: GOOGLE IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY FRONT

Someone leaked to Breitbart an hour-long video of an “all hands” Google meeting that was held just after the 2016 election. The video features Google’s co-founder, Sergei Brin, its CEO, Sundar Pichai, and numerous other high-ranking “Googlers” speaking in turn about the election’s tragic outcome. It is stunning.

All of the speakers express grief over Donald Trump’s election. All of the speakers assume that every Google employee is a Democrat and is stunned and horrified that Hillary Clinton–the worst and most corrupt presidential candidate in modern history–lost. There is much discussion about what Google can do to reverse the benighted world-wide tide exemplified by Brexit and Trump’s election. The insane doctrine of “white privilege” rears its head.

You really have to see it to believe it. Having suffered through the hour-long cri de cœur–OK, to be fair, there is a huge element of schadenfreude, too, and you will relish much of it–you probably will have several reactions: 1) These people may have certain valuable technical skills, but they aren’t very bright and are unusually lacking in self-awareness. 2) It is remarkable that they can achieve such an extraordinary monoculture in an organization with thousands of employees. It must require vigorous enforcement of right-think. 3) It is easy to see how these uniformly left-wing robots/people seamlessly transitioned into Resisting the duly elected Trump administration.

You still don't understand why peoples are opposing Trump, do you? For someone that is a fan of Star Trek this is surprising.

I thought this was interesting ...

Trump Tax Cut 2.0 bill creates new *Universal Savings Accounts* with an initial $2,500 max limit /yr limit.
https://taxfoundation.org/universal-sav ... important/

- "Tax Reform 2.0 would allow individuals to save up to $2,500 each year in a Roth-style savings account"
-"Universal savings accounts fix the issue of double taxation, providing ideal tax treatment for all purposes instead of just for government-favored purposes like retirement".

So, you could have a ROTH savings account that is fully accessible any time.

This is how the fake news smear machine operates:

The New York Times writes a special story claiming that Trump's UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, spent more than $52,000 on curtains. Headline: "Nikki Haley’s View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701."

Smear is published, social media goes into action, smear is repeated thousands of time all around the world.

Much later, New York Times admits it was a straight up lie, false from beginning to end:



Enemies of the people. That's what they are.

U.S. Business Creation Hits Record High

Perhaps the Beltway press corps will someday acknowledge that the health of the economy is more important than the President’s Twitter commentary about the economy. In the meantime, reporters should take note as business creation reaches the highest level ever recorded in the United States.

Sad news .. Democrats are expected to vote down making the middle class tax cuts permanent, so they don't give Republicans a perceived victory.

since I never was included in this tax giveaway to rich folk, I don't give a damn if the democrats managed to end this particular gravy train.

Well, well. About time.
