Brexit To Go Forward?

After a week that saw the British Parliament vote against the British people and the British government but for the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, it appears that Boris Johnson may have been playing rope-a-dope with his opposition.

Brexit is the exit of the UK from the EU. The British people had voted for this a few years ago despite massive ad spending by multi-nationals and others to prevent it. Johnson was elected because the British people were tired of the constant stalling that was going on. October 31 was the latest deadline of multiple extensions previously agreed to by former PM Theresa May. If no deal was reached, then a so-called no-deal exit would take place.

The EU will never agree to any exit deal. They do not want an exit. Such an action would probably embolden a few other countries to consider the same move. The EU is top-down control over most of Europe by unelected bureaucrats. The EU is fighting to prevent their own extinction. Such extinction is probably inevitable based on current circumstances.

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

If you listen to the MSM and their enablers on the left, everyone knows that the MSM, the Democrats and the multi-nationals are rooting for America to go into a recession. They want America to suffer setbacks. Why? Because there are trillions of dollars at stake and they want to see to it that Americans do not earn that money. They want it to stay in their pockets.

This is obscene. These people want America to have a recession so they can make up a story that it is PDJT’s fault. They want to say that he is ignorant, doesn’t understand global economics, etc.

This reminds me of a column that Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate and Trump-hater, penned in May in the NYTimes. As some may remembe Continue reading...

Brexit

There has been an interesting development on the other side of “the pond” which is the English way of referring to the Atlantic Ocean. For more than two years the British government under Theresa May had been trying to come up with a plan to exit the European Union (EU). Most of this action under Theresa May appears to have been a stalling action. The pols hoped that at some point the British would lose interest and the fact that the voting population had spoken out in favor of leaving the EU would disappear into history.

The fact that the Brits had voted for Brexit was as surprising as PDJT winning the Presidency here. The polls had all shown that Brexit would go down to defeat. Supposedly there was little chance it would pass. The polls were wrong again.

Stalling eventually cost Theresa May her job. The people were not happy that the UK was still in the EU. Boris Johnson’s Party achieved a majority around the idea that he would complete the process including, if needed, a “no-deal” Brexit.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we celebrate Labor Day in America. In 2019 we have much to celebrate. Under PDJT we have seen the labor force swell to numbers never before seen in America. Unemployment rates are at the lowest levels in more than 50 years. Unemployment rates among minorities are at historic lows.

Jobs are going begging in some areas. Companies are posting signs along the roadways by their buildings advertising their open positions. Signing bonuses have showed up in some industries particularly trucking. Wages are increasing at rates not seen in a long time. At the same time inflation has remained low. This means more money in the pockets of Americans.
