The Next US President

A think tank funded by Donald Trump’s Secretary of Education pick recently advocated for putting kids back in the workforce.

The Acton Institute, a conservative nonprofit that is said to have received thousands of dollars in donations from Betsy DeVos and her family, posted an essay to its blog this month that called child labor “a gift our kids can handle.”

“Let us not just teach our children to play hard and study well, shuffling them through a long line of hobbies and electives and educational activities,” said the post’s author, Joseph Sunde. “A long day’s work and a load of sweat have plenty to teach as well.”

Rather than copy/pasting a piece of somrone' else's work and not using your own thoughts and words , here is the original article. The democrats go nuts over a few misconstrued words.

Actually, it isn't nearly done. Stay tuned . . .

Upon being elected the next Commander-in-Chief, Trump's dream to a “build a wall” was no longer just campaign rhetoric.

Under Trump's immigration plan:

*A massive wall will be built on the Southern Border

*There will be a zero-tolerance policy for illegal aliens

*And every tax dollar that goes to funding sanctuary cities will be gone

Speaking of sanctuary cities, there are currently over 200 in the United States.

These cities shelter illegal immigrants and for the most part local authorities do not cooperate with federal immigration officials. As a result, prosecuting or deporting illegal aliens who commit crimes is much harder.

Trump wants to cut the cash flow to such cities because of the violent crimes some illegal immigrants have committed.

And while he may not be the official president until late January of next year, 18 of America's largest sanctuary cities are already making it clear that they're not willing to work with the president-elect.

1. Seattle
2. Portland
3. San Francisco
4. Oakland
5. Los Angeles
6. Santa Fe
7. Minneapolis
8. Denver
9. Austin
10. Chicago
11. Newark
12. New York City
13. Boston
14. Providence
15. Jersey City
16. New Haven
17. Philadelphia
18. Washington, DC

The one thing that all the cities have in common: They're all governed by Democrat mayors.

Santa Fe's Mayor, Javier Gonzales, said of his city potentially losing federal funding, via CNN Money:

“The loss of federal funds would be certainly devastating, but we're not going to compromise our values. We'll have to find our way through it and we will”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said:

"To all those who are, after Tuesday’s election, very nervous and filled with anxiety as we’ve spoken to, you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago. Chicago will always be a sanctuary city.

I would say to the president-elect, that the idea that you’re going to penalize Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia — these are the economic, cultural and intellectual energy of this country"

Now that we have completed funding Wisconsin's recount (where we will file on Friday) and funding Pennsylvania's recount (due Monday), we will focus on raising the needed funds for Michigan's recount (due Wednesday).

Trump's ideas or lack of them are likely to have a profound effect on the Middle East.
Perhaps tar would like to give us his and other Middle East views on the new President Elect ?

I see the liberals still haven't come to terms with election results in both UK and USA.

With everything that is going on in the world, it all seems to be crystalising now around the issue of more or less government. Capitalism or crony capitalism etc.

Peter Schiff did a Q & A session some time back when occupy were active around Wall St. What he encountered were so many wrong headed views and completely misplaced blame for all their grievances. Until people manage to get their tiny minds around the real problem, I expect we will continue to see this struggle between those who want more freedom, less regulation, more self determination and those who want to be continually wet nursed.

It's worth noting that Trump has been consistent in developing his opinion and his message throughout his journey to the top job.

Move on a few years and we have Brexit and Trump as people are beginning to see where the blame truly lies. Europe is next as the movement starts to become the new trend.

I've been talking about all the above for years and now it's coming to fruition.

Or a struggle between those who want more freedom, less regulation, more self determination and those who want jobs, jobs which are unlikely to be coming back.

The jobs can't come back until the govt is diminished and the over burdening regulation (barriers to entry, crony capitalism) gone.

The jobs won't come back either way, at least not to the extent that those who follow the populists think. Coal, for example, isn't dying due to govt or regulation but because of natural gas. Manufacturing follows cheap labor.

Natural gas / fracking, is just the latest fashionable energy source. For the jobs being lost in coal, some will be replaced in NG. At some point and perhaps with clean energy technology, coal will be back in. Progress and change are not the enemy. Adapt or die.

Over govt and the dependency that it creates are the enemy.
Countries with cheaper labour most likely have far far less regulation and far far less govt.

We'll see.

The US is only just at the start of this new trend. People are still unsure about whether to change or not. As the European political situation becomes more clear, only then will the US move up a gear, once it's established that the world is moving more towards their position.
It's the same situation in the UK, we are just biding our time, waiting for others to catch up.

There's nothing new about it. But debating it serves no purpose. As I said, we'll see.

Sure, it's a tiresome debate, especially for those who have seen it all before. All we can hope is that it prompts the younger generations to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

Seriously you cant make heads or tails of trump . He said he wants to make a peace deal between Israel and Palestine , but then he says settlements at the west bank arent an issue . Anyway here is a summary of the views here in a nutshell :

Optimistic : Israel , Assad regime and ISIS - each for their own agenda - . Infact Assad called him a natural ally

Pessimistic : Some sort of pessimism between some Arabs , especially Palestinians add to the Iran as well .

The vast majority : same old same old , no new , they are all the same ... etc . Honestly what Obama did for the middle east anyway its a complete mess right now .

IMO it all depends on how his relationship would be with Israel , Russia and Iran . For example hard on Iran = great for Saudis , gulf states and jordan .. etc . I think Saudia Arabia will take advantage of that , they know what they are doing . Looking for oil back to $70s soon .

Yes and no. Coal is harvested in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Montana and Wyoming. There are other places, but the majority comes from here.

Coal is only mined in rural areas. There are few industries that exist other than coal where mining is done. If they lose jobs mining coal, towns die off and poverty and unemployment go up.

Statistically speaking, the jobs lost from coal will be replaced by natural gas.
But the guy who gets a job in NG won't be the same guy who lost his, mining coal.

An unemployed coal miner is not likely to leave his family and home town to get a job in natural gas a thousand miles away.


I know coal is dirty. But if the government is going to legislate a man's job out of existence they should replace it with something else. Instead of outlawing coal, it would be better to just end the introduction of new coal plants.

The demand for coal decreases every year in the U.S. Eventually, the demand will be zero. It might take 20 or 30 years but it won't be as traumatic.


Solar energy gets cheaper every year and so do energy storage units. One day they will figure out fusion energy. Then, every home will be energy independent.
