Not Trump related necessarily but a image I thought was sort of amusing. We here in Canad are also having an election soon and this is one of our candidates talking about our middle class compared with Hillary.

All politicians lie to suit their purpose.

The biggest lie progressives sold the middle class was to be jealous of any one who has more then they have.

Progressives answer was raise taxes on the rich instead of trying to bring the middle class income higher.

People never bought that but now they do. How's that working for the middle class are they better off or worse now?

I'm going to vote for Trump because he gets the way things work and can get the job done. Wharton School of Business is not for dummies. He could live anywhere. Chooses here. Wants to make US great again. Look at Putin. Look at Trump. We need strenght and he has it in spades. He brought up the Silent Majority a term not heard in years. We wouldn't be redoing our healthcare if we didn't have all these illegals here that need help. He states they can come "legally". Also states Americans should be hired first. 100 % of the jobs since 1999 have been filled by illegals. And some say the legals should be cut back by 25%. Pick up Coulter's Adios America! The left's plan to turn America into a thrid world hellhole.

After my youngest daughter graduated college in 2002 she move to Germany to live.

At that time in Germany the unemployment rate was a real 15 percent. Which is what the real number are here now in the U.S. Not those bullshit number they try to pass of here.

In Germany then and now if a German company wants to hire a non German they had to produce a letter stating why a Germany could not do that job. Before they can hire a non German that is exactly what they should do here in the U.S.

When she moved to Germany she had a hard time finding work. I knew she was too thick headed to come home where her Columbia university degree with honors meant something,

So I was supplementing her income.

In Germany she got a job teaching German children English. She also took American tourists on sightseeing tours. Also translating German into English at Berlin university. She even had a paper route.

So it was not easy for her over the next two years. Then she got a job with a German pharmaceutical company. That was where she made it big.

Now she opens new branches offices for that company all over the world. They even have an office in New Jersey some where.

On her job search in Germany they asked her what skills do you have. Not what degree do you have. They would rather have people with a trade.

That is what we need here the government if you want to pay for a trade school for the unemployed to learn a useable trade.

We need to make things again. All the governments talks about is college. Fuck college learning a trade is better. Learn a trade you have the freedom to work any place you want. Your not locked into an area work any where.

A lot of carpenters and other trades in Germany. They can make what ever you want.

great posts foots, especially about raising the middle class up, bush's tax cuts hurt the middle class terribly, because they had to pay more taxes, because the rich got huge breaks, the middle class didn't.

Tax move to a state with low taxes. You just pissing your money away on high tax states.

Agreed. I can work ANYWHERE in the U.S. that I want if I wanted to. I could quit tonight and have a job in California tomorrow and be working by Monday. Other countries as well if I wanted.

That's what chaps my hide these days with these young kids. They don't know any trade but they think they should make top pay right away.

It's the same in white collar businesses.

My Aunt is a very high ranking member of a company in the Pacific Northwest, and she interviews Millennials all the time. She says most of them come into the interview poorly dressed, with high expectations, and have poor manners.

And my Aunt isn't one of these super old judgmental types. She's still young, smart, and very resourceful. But you know dixie, it's this stupid 'everyone gets a trophy' culture we've bred. Kids now are sheltered and are told they are 'special'.

Is it any wonder these people turn down decent paying jobs?

white collar work now have a ton of people looking for work at the same job. So business can get people to work for less money then before.

However if you work as a division head and head a east coast part of a company. Then you are in demand. My oldest son does that work. He is in his forties. Been in sales his whole working life. He could retire now if he wanted too.

He never bought a house because that can keep you in one area. He rather lease a house.

His hair isnt!!

I am starting to like him the more I review what he says.

He is the only one running that speaks my language,,,,,,,,,,

Common Scence.

Today they announce that the figures on the ISIS attacks are all wrong and reported incorrectly to make it look like we are gaining on the problem. WH press man said he hadn't spoken to the president yet about this. Jeez. Then backtrack to the deal that got slammed through and we didn't get the 4 Americans back. Isn't President's main duty to keep Americans safe. Hate to interrupt his golf game but what does he do all day -- we know he doesn't read his intel or do his morning briefings.

I have been listening to a lot of trumps interviews with so called well prepared newsmen trying to trip him up.

When they ask him question on the economy and how and why places like China are devaluating their currency. Trump is schooling them on why they are doing it.

On the Iranian deal he had some interesting things on how to deal with it.

On Iran deal Iran already got their 150 billion. All the counties that had sanctions on Iran are not going to put them back into place and all are now doing business with Iran.

If Israel attacks Iran we the United States supposed to protect Iran. Obama is a fucking traitor and so are Secretaries of State.

Best thing for the U.S. Is to elect thrump president.

They asked him what he thought of raising the min wage. He said we do that the companies that left won't do business here. If they bring back the trillions to invest here they have to pay 30 percent in taxes on that money when it comes in.

Let them bring the money back tax free keep the minimum wage as it was. There will be more job and people will find themselves making a lot more money.

He knows economics and how to get job growth.

Why does Carson look so tired and sleep eyed when interviewed? Could be the lights are bright at interview or he is really campaigning hard.

I imagine it is taxing on the body to travel this much. They cover a shitload of ground this time of year.

Some people hate to travel and some people love to travel.

My son just signed a two year contract with another firm. It requires that he travels three or four days a week practically every week. His plan is that he would retire after this contract is up.

They are paying him a lot of money. He was hired to double their business by the end of those two years.

I used to travel for business. But I could not do that kind of travel.

On Carson that is Carson a low key guy.

Look at Obama he loves traveling.

See the democratic debate? I fell a sleep watching it. If you listened to the socialist he wanted to do the same things Obama wanted to do word for word.

I'm telling ya, my vote is still with Carson. Funny how a lot of us hicks from the South will be voting for Carson as I know a lot of my buddies and people I know around the state are voting for him too. I still have a feeling it will be close in Alabama between Trump and Carson and I mean close. Sadly most here don't watch the debates or anything and will vote for Trump just because they think he is perfect.

I would really love to see Trump or Carson as VP's if they cannot win the bid.

Foot, I watched what I could and I agree. Sanders has some good stuff but NO WAY I could vote for an idiot that said himself he is a "Democratic Socialist". WTF???

Until you get kids Foot (not saying you, just saying in general) the traveling gets old but I might have slept more in hotel beds than my own. When I started climbing way back in the day I enjoyed traveling and we worked out of town EVERY DAY but now I only want to be gone 2-3 weeks and then send my ass home. But with utility workers, we really do get a rush to work a storm and try to get y'alls power back on as quick as we can. To knock out say 2 million outages in 2 weeks is saying something so we kind of enjoy that and plus after about a week we turn into robots and generally don't know what day it is half the time.

Since me and the old lady split I've wanted to hit the road more often which I've done work wise and vacation wise as I spent that month in Denver and just got back Sunday from the Gulf Coast but not much travel with work so far but I imagine December might be busy for us. Now that I've moved back in with the folks for now I want to travel every damn day

Rubio used Bush but good and then ran and announced before Bush. He is sort of a pip squeak weiner. Not sound on immigration and is always talking about his parents and yada yada enough already. Ben Carson is good but can't see him sticking up to Putin. Can see Trump getting things back on track for the country. He will strengthen the military and he will stand up to Putin. And I want to see him build the wall! Too many illegals that drag the country down, have to insure them, etc. and the Dream Act everything for others, nothing for our own. So wrong on so many levels. And if they were intelligent they would enter legally and learn English. Think of the savings alone on not printing things in Spanish and English! Hey it's my country too! Too many parents have lost children to the drug dealers that hop over the fence and hook their kids on drugs. Immigration is a big problem, don't fool yourselves. Why do you think we had to redo healthcare?

All the "cans" are going to protest SNL when Trump is on. More publicity!

Is this black guy for real? He basically just pushed Trump off my cable TV in the last 2 weeks. Think this is my first time posting on this side anyhow good nite. Chris Christie talking this shit about getting rid of abortion. Dude shut up its 2015 go back to the 50 tys. Make girls start sticking coat hangers up there . get real I no he's just telling people what he they want to hear. I don't really care and I'm guessing Clinton got it in the bag. Good bye this side. Pmac.

Putin as his own troubles. The Russian plane was blown up by Isis. The Russians are trying to cover up the fact that it was terrorism. The Brits and American released that it was a bomb on the plane.

If you guys know any Russians here in the US. They love Putin they think he is the best thing since bullets. He does not want to admit that Isis attacked the great Russian nation.

Oh on Saturday night live the pac that is started this who hired Mexican kids to use bad language against trump is owned by a white man. The same white man who supports Hilliard Clinton. What a surprise.

Carson just took a hit on the book he is promoting. He lied in his book on some of the stories in his childhood. Liberal media will try to crush him on things that happened when he was 14.

Nobody proved that Carson lied on some of the stories in his book. He said he had anger issues and hit somebody. All the media could find was people who didn't recall him having anger issues. We're talking about people trying to recall someone else in school about 50 years ago.

Then they tried to challenge him on the West Point scholarship program and said they don't have one. West Point used to have one. Carson was in the ROTC and met with someone from West Point. Carson never said he applied for a scholarship, just that he was offered one.

A few people I ran track with in high school went to the service academies. It's a long process to apply, and there is no tuition at these academies. There are no scholarships to the Naval Academy,etc.

Unless things were different in Carson's day....just a clear case of Carson and the biographer stretching the truth for whatever reason.


Media did succeed in tripping Carson up and getting him to admit that he lied, which was their aim I guess.

The media has their knives out for Carson because they're out for Hillary to win.

For West Point, normally one is sponsored by a congressman or congresswoman, and there wasn't a direct application. They did offer scholarships. Here's an ad in Black Enterprise magazine:

Here's another ad where it says that each year 1200 people take advantage of scholarships: https://twitter.com/morgenr/status/662699371541065728/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

Update:

Washington Post attacks Politico's credibility on bogus Ben Carson story:

CNN Business on where Politico went wrong (read: screwed up): http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/06/media/ben-carson-politico-west-point/index.html

National Review explains: http://www.dailywire.com/news/960/no-ben-carson-didnt-lie-about-west-point-its-ben-shapiro

Then Politico claimed that Hillary Clinton's emails didn't contain highly classified info (trying to cover her back), except it wasn't true:
