Who Killed the TPP?
By Crista Huff
The
TPP is dead. On January 23, 2017, U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed a
Presidential memorandum, addressed to the Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative (USTR), instructing the acting USTR to begin the process of
withdrawing the U.S. from the TPP. Due to requirements spelled out within the
5,544-page document, the ratification process cannot proceed without U.S.
participation. What happens next? [more...]
Crista
Huff writes extensively about international trade agreements, and
about U.S. stock markets. She is also a trade lobbyist, having successfully
worked toward preventing a 2016 TPP ratification vote in Congress. [more...]
Protests
Further Divide Country
On
a day meant to represent the unity of America and the backing of new
leadership, January 20th reinforced the stark divide in our country as
protesters and anarchists took to the streets during the President’s swearing
in ceremony. The demonstrations turned violent with confrontations with police
that resulted in over 200 arrests throughout the day. The protesters are
protected by their First Amendment right of freedom of speech, but these
demonstrations in no way represent the values we hold as Americans. Throwing
objects at police, destroying storefronts, vandalizing streets and businesses,
and damaging vehicles is no way to exhibit frustration. As we enter a new era
of American policy, business and trade, we must adapt to the changing
environment. We must always fight for the issues that are important to us, but
not with violence, and not in a way that divides us. We need to work together
and restart the dialogue to enact change that betters the lives for all
Americans. [more...]
The
Robot Revolution
By
Lowell Ponte
President Trump may save thousands of jobs, but such
rescues are likely to be temporary. The reason is that American jobs will soon
be lost not to foreign countries but to domestic robots. Robots with Artificial
Intelligence could replace humans in up to 47 percent of today’s jobs, from
hamburger flippers and factory workers to truck drivers, according to a report
issued December 20, 2016, by the White House. Many millions of people will be
unemployed and in need of money. The government at the same time will lose
trillions in revenue from jobless, broke former taxpayers. In my new book with
Craig R. Smith, Money, Morality & The Machine: Smith's Law in an
Unethical, Over-Governed Age, we predicted
that the European Union would turn to strange measures - and in early 2017,
they have. The EU, exactly as we warned, moved in January to make robots “electronic
persons.” It did this so that all kinds of robots can be made to pay taxes –
especially the steep retirement tax – that the robots, which never “retire,”
will never receive as retirement benefits. These robot taxes can be used to
keep government fat as well as to provide part of a guaranteed “universal
income” that all people could receive, whether they worked or not. A test of
such “universal income” just got underway with thousands of people in Finland. [more...]
My
Dad and President Reagan
My
dad was a blue-collar butcher, but he was no ordinary butcher. David Root was a
Jewish Republican butcher from Brooklyn who became one of the founding members
of the New York state Conservative Party. My dad and his fellow Conservative
Party leaders took a huge gamble and endorsed a long-shot for president back in
1980. The political experts said they were delusional; they said an old washed-up,
B-movie actor could never be president. They said he was too old. The
Conservative Party of New York became the first major organization to endorse
Ronald Reagan. Soon after Reagan’s election, my father the blue-collar butcher,
opened the mail one day to find a formal invitation to the inauguration of
Ronald Reagan. It was his prized possession, his proudest achievement. It was
framed and displayed in his living room until the day he died in 1992. Thirty-seven
years after my father was invited to President Reagan’s inauguration, his son attended
the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump. [more...]
Late-night
Comedy Targets President Trump
By
James
Hirsen
Some
of Hollywood’s most notorious liberal activists appear to be hell-bent on
continuing their quest to spread the hate, most notably against the nation’s
new president, Donald J. Trump. Late-night comedy shows were, of course, a
significant part of the media messaging that sought to shape the electorate,
particularly younger voters who routinely obtain political news and information
from late-night programming. Interestingly, the mainstream media (MSM) have and
continue to methodically lay the groundwork for late-night writers. In a sort
of perverse media ritual, a false or exaggerated story is initially
disseminated by the MSM so that late-night comedy shows are then able to run
with it, ultimately twisting the false narrative into vicious mockery with the
ill-intentioned purpose of massaging the public mind. [more...]
Obama’s
Legacy, Continued
Director
Joel
Gilbert revisits his blockbuster film, ‘Dreams from My Real Father’
that debunked President Obama’s official background as a moderate candidate
with an inspiring family background. In 2012, Gilbert’s film shocked the public
with an alternate personal and political history of Barack Obama in which he
presented evidence that Obama’s real biological father was not the Kenyan
Obama, but rather the American Communist propagandist and Soviet Agent Frank
Marshall Davis. Gilbert further presented evidence that Davis had radicalized
Obama during his formative years. Obama had discussed Davis and his influence
extensively in his bestselling autobiography, Dreams from My Father, but
claimed Davis was only a friend of his grandfather. Gilbert will discuss
extensive new research and new information he has developed since the film,
including bombshell revelations from Obama’s best friend from high school whom
Gilbert befriended. Gilbert will also discuss Obama’s “farewell” speech in
which he claimed many “remarkable” accomplishments. [more...]
