It’s Not the Obama Economy Anymore!

This Ramirez cartoon is from one year ago.

2016_05 Economy sinking Obama cheering

How things have changed!

Most of us just don’t care about Russia or Trump’s tweets or White House staffing problems.  What we care about is the economy.  And, after just six months under Trump, the economy is out-performing anything Obama ever dreamed about.

We’ve added more than a million jobs.  Corporate profits are soaring. The stock market is at all-time highs. The manufacturers optimism index is the highest in history. New hiring by small businesses has hit a 19 year high. The US oil rig count has doubled.

The Trump economy is the Democrats’ worst nightmare.

They’ve know this for a HUNDRED YEARS?!

Well, dayum! “Eat less, move more” DOESN’T WORK for weight loss! FASTING works, because that’s the way God designed our bodies. And, no, you aren’t going to burn protein. Nor will your body go into starvation mode.

One of the things he explains that really interests me is this … “Eat less, move more” causes your metabolism to DROP. IOW, the number of calories you burn just by existing goes DOWN. This is the reason people plateau and then start gaining weight again. However, FASTING has the opposite effect. Your metabolism actually INCREASES, so you burn more calories just by existing.

Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever seriously considered fasting. This doctor not only speaks “lay person” really well, but also he’s quite funny about it. If you care at all about your excess blubber, this is very well worth watching.

Al Gore’s 20-room mansion, with heated pool and electric gates, uses 21 times the electricity of the average American home. He owns two other homes besides this one.

2017 Charlie Gard

CHARLIE GARD: Charlie Gard’s parents were unable to use the £1.3 million (about $1.5 million USD) they raised to transfer Charlie to the U.S. for experimental treatment. They’ve decided to start a Charlie Gard Foundation to help families in similar circumstances.

TRANNIES IN THE MILITARY: President Trump could save American taxpayers nearly $2 billion if he follows through on his plan to ban military service for severely gender-confused (“transgender”) individuals.

That is the estimate for the cost of the “transgender” military policy begun under Obama, accordign to a paper by Family Research Council.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME: Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have linked chronic fatigue syndrome to variations in 17 immune-system signaling proteins, or cytokines, whose concentrations in the blood correlate with the disease’s severity.

The findings provide evidence that inflammation is a powerful driver of this mysterious condition, whose underpinnings have eluded researchers for 35 years.

“There’s been a great deal of controversy and confusion surrounding ME/CFS — even whether it is an actual disease,” said Davis. “Our findings show clearly that it’s an inflammatory disease and provide a solid basis for a diagnostic blood test.”

FAKE NEWS: The story of a nun who received Vatican permission to witness a Catholic marriage in a remote Canadian diocese with few priests has seized international attention — the implication being it may portend a new role for women in the Church. But the situation is far from unprecedented and is allowed under canon law.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Wall

BORDER PATROL 2017 Trump frees Border Patrol by Branco

According to Red Jahnke at Investor’s Business Daily, Trump has already built a virtual wall on our southern border called “deterrence” — the deterrent effect of actually enforcing immigration law.

Homeland Security reports that apprehensions have plummeted to about 50% of what they were under “Open Borders” Obama.  Trump claims the numbers sneaking in are down by more than 75%.

One coyote said he has taken only one client over the U.S. border since Trump’s inauguration vs. the one to two groups he took each month under Obama.
