"Impossible" Jobs Growth Has Happened!

"The experts" were happy to tell us that Trump was "lying again" ... there was NOT going to be growth in manufacturing jobs!

My definition of "expert" is "always certain, freqently wrong". It would be great if they were only wrong outside of their field of study, but in fact they are often most egregiously wrong IN the field of their supposed expertise. Some of the "big ones" of my lifetime ...

World Hunger -- This was a huge as I was growing up in the 60's and 70's (remember the starving children in India!) and had been an issue since Malthus. To claim that it was less than a crisis was to have no heart during ny school years. It was DEFINITELY going to get worse, MUCH WORSE! There was simply no denying it, the experts all agreed!

Cholesterol / Carbs / Food Pyramid -- If anyone cared, this government debacle has probably killed more people than any other policy outside abortion (60 million and climbing). If they did it now, fruits and veggies would be at the bottom, then likely meats and dairy, with carbs 2nd from the top and sugars taking the peak ... but millions have died from overweight and millions are still dealing with it. THANKS EXPERTS! They "knew what they were doing"! Load up on those carbs!

Peak Oil -- In the late '70's and early 80's you were more dense than a current climate change denier if you claimed that there was "plenty of oil". All the "experts" assured us that we were WELL past "peak oil", and we were just counting down to the end. Anyone foolish enough to question them was a dangerous idiot! This from here.

Global proved oil reserves in 2017 fell slightly by 0.5 billion barrels (-0.03%) to 1696.6 billion barrels, which would be sufficient to meet 50.2 years of global production at 2017 levels

 The end of the USSR -- When Reagan was elected and started talking about Communism and the USSR being well past their "Born on Date", he was universally maligned as an idiot, a dangerous warmonger, out of touch with reality, etc, etc The intelligencia were all completely certain that the USSR was AT LEAST as likely to be around for the long run as the US! Here is just one little quite from the NY Times about a Strobe Talbot book of '84 -- "Strobe" was a leading light of the day, MUCH smarter than Reagan!

He is particularly mocking of Mr. Reagan, who, Mr. Talbott writes, liked to give speeches on arms control, ''but behind the scenes, where decisions were made and policy was set, he was to remain a detached, sometimes befuddled character.'' Mr. Talbott says that even though Mr. Reagan presided at 16 meetings of the National Security Council on strategic arms talks, ''there was ample evidence, during those meetings and on other occasions as well, that he frequently did not understand basic aspects of the nuclear weapons issue and of policies being promulgated in his name.''

 Yes, Reagan thought that WINNING was an objective -- Strobe was certain that was crazy talk. It can be an really great thing when the experts are CERTAIN that the president is "crazy".!

The WaPO article is a classic example of "good news" when TP is not in power ... "Will it last"? "Is it REALLY bad news is we look deeper", "Can we trust the numbers" !!!

All those would be REALLY good questions if they were applied to BOTH sides of politics!

"Unexpected" Best Wage Growth Since 2008

http://fortune.com/2018/09/07/us-wages-jobs-report-august-2018/?xid=fortune-amp-fbshare

Any kind of good news with a "non-TP" (The Party TP-D) in the WH is always "unexpected" to the MSM ... and when TP is in control, bad news is equally "unexpected". Ho hum! It reminds me of the 1980's ... cut taxes so that business has more money to invest, AND more incentive to invest. Likewise, workers have greater prospects to keep more of what they earn if they go out and get a job or ask for a raise, and "unexpectedly", the economy improves! How can that be?

Clearly the MSM, the Administrative State, and the vast majority of "economists" at universities believe that moving more money into government and the Administrative State and the universities is the sure way to ignite growth! Well -- they DO believe it will provide THEM with higher salaries and more power, so in their mind ... GROWTH!

The dumb people that run businesses and work for wages? Let them lose their jobs and vote for more TP folks to up their welfare benefits! Tax the bastards until they STOP and GIVE UP HOPE!

Events like the current state of the economy do nothing but make our elites hopping mad!

NYT: The Deep State Is In The Room With Space Aliens

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

Whether the 1980's has gotten it's foreign policy back is still an open question, but clearly the mood of the press and the Deep State has returned to the age of Reagan ... you remember, the bumbling, senile, loose grasp on reality idiot that constantly needed to be "saved from himself" as he "sleep walked" through a presidency with no success and soon to be ended by impeachment (1986 and on) -- at least that was the "reality" that the "voices of reason" from the administration,  anonymously speaking through a media that believed even worse assured us of!

The primary answer to this article is again, "Space Aliens" ... your source is an obviously disloyal person that ought to RESIGN and then tell any tales they want! Having said that, it is rather amazing that they are as positive as they are, AND have enough self awareness (or cluelessness?) to admit this ...

It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.

Thanks be to Satan, the Administrative State is in the room! And, like "father" in the 1950's, "they know best"! I suppose if you thought the old USSR had the right idea, and government bureaucrats from the Administrative / Deep State  are the "kind of people you trust" (even though they are obviously proven weasels as the existence of this column shows), then you are "comforted" that there is swamp weasel in the Trump administration willing to try to stab the president in the back anonymously rather than resign and tell us "the facts" as seen through their beady little weasel eyes.

We know nothing of the private internals of the Trump administration -- other than the Deep State has at least one mole , and likely more than one along with continued monitoring of ALL communications by the NSA / CIA etc constantly looking for ANYTHING that could be exploited to remove Trump from office! Hey, he froze their salaries while BO era inflation continues unabated -- you KNOW they want him out and DEAD, along with his family, friends, and his voters!

What else would one do with an "irredeemable deploreable"?

Sasse On Civics, Administrative State, SCOTUS

Well worth the time to watch ... perhaps a future president?

It is a good video -- it would have been great if he was a little stronger on the purpose of the SCOTUS  being ORIGNIAL INTENT of the Constitution, otherewise we need neither a written Constitution nor a SCOTUS.

Oh, and it would be fine if the legislature did their jobs and reined in the Deep / Administrative State as well!

The left doesn't like the idea of any form of "nationalism", and the idea of planting the flag of the old America on the moon will soon be disappeared like some confederate monument if they manage to take over the whole show. "The State" is "god", and what The State says about everything, including "history" is "truth".

BO would no doubt tell us that "America didn't go to the moon" ... those were GERMAN engineers, proud remnants of the Third Reich! ... oh wait, strike that part ... "Europeans, probably descended from some member of Genghis Kahn's Mongols! Why, it was the Chinese who invented rockets in the first place! The moon landing was a global achievement!

And so it goes ...  never mind reality, whatever The State tells you is what you need to agree with!

We really don't need to look all the way to South America to see the disaster of socialism ... Illinois is a basket case right in the bread basket of BOistan!

Crying For SCOTUS Standards

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/03/opinion/supreme-court-kavanaugh-partisan.html

Ah, the NY Tines laments the politicization of the court! They ought to read Scalia ... he predicted the obvious long ago. When the Warren court denied the people, the states, and the nation the proper discussion required to make murdering the unborn a "right", they sowed the seeds of exactly what this article laments. The court decided to take political action in legislating from the bench, so the people decided that the justices needed to be poltically vetted and screened so that they would take their political actions in the direction of the people who voted for presidents in order to get "their" judges on the SCOTUS. 

The article interjects Bush V Gore as a smoke screen -- we might still be litigating the 2K election if the SCOTUS had not put an end to it! Naturally, it was the NY Times "loss", so they need SOMETHING to seem like a "conservative win" in the political court. 

The reality is that there are essentially NO "conservative poltical wins" by the SCOTUS because the judges that conservatives want are strict constructionist / original intent judges that DON'T legislate from the bench. Thus the difficulty in overturning even egregious rulings like Roe or Kehlo that ARE "legislating from the bench". Once the court has ruled, "Stare Decisis" taken seriously by converservative judges tends to make the ratchet of judicial activism always tilts left. 

Even worse, the conservatives on the court tend to defer to the other two branches -- so cases like BOcare forcing people to buy insurance still get decided in favor of the left. 

Naturally, the NY Times likes to have "The Party" (TP-D) always control ALL branches of government, including especially the 4th extra-Constitutional Deep / Administrative State. The idea of the SCOTUS not being in firmly left wing hands is enough to make the Times pine away for a totally non-political court. Their assumption is that there are no principles higher than politics, so conservatives are just as likely to make law from the bench as "progressives". 

Most likely not -- and if they get control of the court again, they will be more than happy to see laws that put Christians in jail for failing to celebrate a gay "marriage", genders yet unimagined, sexual practices to make a Roman blush, and government invasions of all manner of property, thought, and faith! 

Naturally, to the NY Times, that is just "progress"!  No need to have a SCOTUS unless it is fully under control of TP!
