Great Speech and it sounds like Republicans are happy with our New President. They can see how much he’s accomplished already and it gives them a reason to work hard to help Make America Great Again.
Tomorrow I look forward to President Trump’s meeting with Prime Minister May After the meeting she may become as enamored of our new President as we are. After all Britain and the USA have been allies for the last 100 years while the EU was just a bad dream. I would like to be able to see Trade Agreements between Canada, The USA and UK. It would be great to deal with old friends.

Term Limits is a MUST or this level of corruption will continue.

If we get to next time, I hope we’ll be better prepared to unite behind one candidate who’s never been in the same time zone as Juahadist McCain.

Now Patrick Meehan is trying to ride on President Trump’s coattails and challenge Bobby Casey’s seat for senate. Bear in mind that Mr. Meehan has a 48% scorecard rating from the Heritage Foundation and kept hidden when he first ran for congress that his dear mentor was none other than Arlen ‘single bullet ‘ Spector.

Mexico levies a 16% value added tax (IVA) to every good imported(from anywhere) into Mexico. In some cases on some goods, there may be an additional tariff added to the IVA. So the buyer of the good pays that plus any shipping costs. It’s exactly what Trump is considering.
LikeLiked by 2 people
Rather than a 20% import tax, I’d rather see a tax on the money wired from non-green card Mexicans working in the US back to Mexico. I think it’s something like $24 billion per year. A 3% tax on the amount being wired would build a lot of wall. It also would hit home to the sender that they are being penalized for being in the country illegally.

US Chamber of Commerce about to go on FUNDING DEATHWATCH.
America’s Globalist Corporations are now scrambling:
• Moving Manufacturing back to America
• Adjusting Pricing and Profits to cover the 20% Tariff for remaining Offshored Operations
• Suddenly competing to recruiting Americans to permanently replace H1B Visa workers who can no longer overstay their terms and whose Visas will not be renewed
• Frantically spinning to calm investors who are outraged that they jeopardized profits by screwing Americans out of jobs.
The US CoC and its Lobbyists can no longer get anti-competitive and monopolistic legislation and regulations passed – or even retained – to suck the jobs and financial lifeblood from Americans.
President Trump will brand these laws and regulations as the same kind of “MULTILATERAL DEALS” that have internationally screwed America, and will henceforth limit his corporate dealmaking to “BILATERAL DEALS”, too.
Why the hell would Corporate members continue to fund the US CoC, when our President has recognized it as an “ENEMY of the STATE”.
DEATH WATCH for the US CoC, and it’s about time!

Mexico’s President Cancels White House Visit After Trump Hits Cartels

26 Jan 2017

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has cancelled his planned visit to the U.S. where he was expected to meet with President Donald J. Trump. The cancellation comes after Mexico’s government denounced Trump’s new border security measures aimed at interfering with the cash flow of the very Mexican cartels believed to have financed the current Mexican president’s campaign.
On Thursday morning, Peña Nieto took to Twitter to announce that his staff had notified the White House that he would not be going to the scheduled meetings with Trump.
On Wednesday, Trump signed two executive orders dealing with enforcing current immigration laws and the construction of a border wall. Trump specifically called out Mexican cartels in the executive order. In response to the anti-cartel measures, Peña Nieto took toBreitbat media, as Breitbart Texas reported.
In addition to denouncing the measure, Peña Nieto announced that he would be ordering the 50 Mexican Consulates in the U.S. to step up their efforts to protect “migrants”. The Mexican president made no mention of the fact that the migrants are one of the largest funding mechanisms for the cartels who reportedly helped him gain his office.

In response to Peña Nieto’s announcement, Trump responded on Twitter that it would be better to cancel the meeting. According to Trump, the U.S.- Mexico relation has been one sided with the current $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico in connection with the current North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Mexican President Peña Nieto has been the subject of immaculate investigative reporting in his own country, though his reported ties to Mexican cartels received little attention from the U.S. during the presidency of Barack Obama.
I figured out how to copy and paste with my phone. This was under the trending section in bold red letters on breitbart about 30mins ago….now gone. hmm? Had to do a search to find it.
