Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos gave a far-ranging speech Tuesday in Washington at an American Enterprise Institute conference, “Bush-Obama School Reform: Lessons Learned.” Most media reporting outlines Mrs. DeVos presentation to state ‘the era of common core education is now dead“…
The full transcript of Secretary DeVos remarks is below:
[Transcript] “Thank you, Rick, for that kind introduction. Who would’ve thought that after we were last together on a panel in Grand Rapids a couple of years ago, I’d be here in this capacity today?
It’s an honor to be with all of you at an organization I have long appreciated.
AEI is now in its 80th year and in that near century, the Institute’s scholars have influenced and shaped the way Americans think about so many issues in the public square. AEI has been – and will continue to be – a treasured constant in this town of transition. And it should be noted that’s due in no small part to the leadership of Arthur Brooks, who brings a unique and compelling perspective. I’m grateful to call him a friend.

Hear that sound?… It started way off in the distance during Q1 last year… After Trump’s MAGAnomic tax plan passed, the distant rumble grew louder… yet MSM still refused to heart it…. It’s now a roar of thundering U.S. corporations rushing back into the U.S. to participate in the MAGAnomic resurgence. The latest addition, Apple Inc.
President Trump is carrying out a very simple economic policy that is entirely against the grain of the past four decades. He called it, his words: America First. President Trump refused to accept their term: “A Service Driven Economy”. He gave the economic financial class the middle finger. He said, openly: ‘Not on my watch’; right to their faces. Trump’s political and economic opposition hate him, H.A.T.E H.I.M. He doesn’t care…
By sheer will, if necessary, POTUS Trump will NOT allow generations of Americans to be robbed by economic usurpation. His message was clear “America First”; non-compliant companies would be called out by name. He did. Massive corporations are now coming to heel based on POTUS Trump’s single-minded determination and focus to put American economic patriotism the front and center policy of U.S. economic policy. Deal With IT.
(CNBC) Apple on Wednesday made a slew of announcements about its investment in and contribution to the U.S. economy in part because of the new tax law.
The headline from Apple is that it will make a $350 billion “contribution” to the U.S. economy over the next five years, although it’s unclear exactly how the company came to that number.The company also promised to create 20,000 new jobs and open a new campus.
Interim Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Mick Mulvaney, announces the entire operational architecture of the liberal protection racket is being reviewed.
As many reports have indicated, the CFPB was structured to be an unaccountable branch of the government dedicated to controlling the financial industry, and by extension the U.S. economy, by blackmailing companies to pay for protection against the targeting by their overarching punitive power.
If companies providing any financial services (ie. consumer loans, banking interests or consumer finance) wanted to operate in the U.S. they would be well advised (forced) to pay indulgences toward progressive politicians and organizations. Failure to do so could mean they would be subject to CFPB fines, legal challenges and devastating court costs to defend their interests. This was the larger goal of the Elizabeth Warren enterprise.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump-appointed acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wednesday that he is launching a review of all the federal consumer watchdog agency’s policies and priorities.
MAGAnomics – The first round of economic results from 2017 holiday sales are coming in and the results are incredible. Total holiday sales from November and December increased 5.5% over the prior year, that’s a massive jump.
Keep in mind, two-thirds of GDP is attached to consumer spending. The spending jump to $692 billion will increase fourth quarter GDP growth when calculated.
(Via CNBC) Holiday sales jumped 5.5 percent compared with last year, marking the largest jump seen since the end of the Great Recession, the National Retail Federation said Friday.
Total sales for November and December were $691.9 billion, exceeding the industry trade group’s forecast of between $678.75 billion and $682 billion, which would have been an increase of between 3.6 and 4 percent.
