The last federal budget was signed into law in September 2007 for fiscal year ’08 by George W Bush.  Since then, congress has facilitated nine consecutive years of continuing resolutions, debt ceiling increases and Omnibus spending bills.

President Obama never spent a single day in office with a budget. Not one day.  The current Paul Ryan initiated CR/Ominibus spending package ends on April 1st, 2017.  [Not coincidentally the same due date for President Trump’s statutorily required first budget proposal, which would take effect October 1st 2017 for fiscal year 2018.]
Regardless of Trump’s budget proposal, and as a direct consequence of the CR/Omnibus approach, congress is going to have to pass another CR spending bill, to fund government operations from April 1st through the end of the fiscal 2017 year (Sept. 30th).  Remember,  Ryan/McConnell created this financial mess.
Now, get this, today: (more…)

In March of 2016 an exclusive list of top tech executives, billionaires, donors and influence agents gathered at a secretive meeting with key leaders of the Washington DC UniParty.  The meeting was to discuss their plans to destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump.  The meeting took place at the exclusive enclave in Sea Island Georgia.

The Sea Island meeting itself was entirely “anti-Trump”, the gathering was almost exclusively discussions about how to rid the primary process of the outside insurgency that was Donald Trump.  Unknown to most, the group assembled also contained so of the original members who constructed the 2016 primary election splitter strategy:

[…]  the same people who attended the Sea Island Georgia meeting, the same people who fund the UniParty, the same people who create Washington DC’s legislative priorities, were constructing a Clinton/Bush win-win scenario. (link)

A few of the billionaires included: Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, Arthur Sulzberger publisher of the New York Times and billionaire Philip Anschultz who owns Sea Island.

Kennedy, the state’s Republican treasurer, had endorsements from President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Trump won Louisiana by a wide margin during the general election last month and stumped for Kennedy on Friday during a visit to Baton Rouge.  (link)

Speaker of The House, Paul Ryan, sat down with Fox News host Sean Hannity for a lengthy discussion about the incoming Trump administration, congress, and legislative priorities.
Here’s the full interview. It is essentially self congratulatory explanatory:

In order to tackle the U.S. Illegal Immigration issues, even broadly, a person must first change their paradigm and understand the root issue which creates the crisis. The problem was created by the UniParty, and the problem continues specifically because the UniParty desire it to continue.
Before you can reasonably present a solution to the illegal immigration problem, you must first understand the economic problem. Understanding how illegal aliens work in the U.S. is step one toward understanding what proposed solutions would/could work, and which are mere political talking points.
Here’s the stuff the professional political class don’t necessarily want you to know.

You can clearly see, from many of the various pearl-clutching articles about Labor Secretary Nominee Andrew Puzder, how entrenched, erroneous and naive many peoples’ beliefs are on the specific issue of illegal aliens within the employment system.
It is difficult to accept -perhaps for the first time- what you previously believed is not based on any substantive reality.   Blaming U.S. businesses for hiring illegal aliens makes for a good avoidance technique; heck, the UniParty relies upon an electorate doing just that. However, that blame-casting actually keeps people from recognizing and confronting the underlying ‘real world’ issues faced by U.S. employers.
This is where the value of a successful businessman, Corporate CEO, large employer, and specifically a man who has faced down the weaponized EEOC, Andrew Puzder, becomes infinitely more valuable as Secretary of Labor.

It is being widely reported that President-elect Donald Trump is intending to nominate Andrew Puzder as Labor Secretary. The move will likely fire up the SEIU and affiliated labor activists in opposition. Similarly there will be those amid the more conservative ranks that see Puzder as less than their desired nominee.

However, CTH has an alternate perspective on the nomination essentially hopeful that Donald Trump is intending to finally bring closure to a labor issue with over twenty years of economic crisis, and hundreds of millions spent on litigation as the backdrop.
Most people are oblivious to a reality that began within the U.S. Department of Labor under the administration of George W Bush. The issue encapsulates thusly:

• Under federal statue it is unlawful to hire an illegal alien who is not eligible to work in the U.S.
• However, under existing EEOC legal interpretations (Disparate Impact Rulings), it is unlawful NOT to hire an illegal alien who is not eligible to work in the U.S.

Within that strange and very specific dichotomy you find the problem with the modern interpretations of “disparate impact” as they apply to employment screening and employment eligibility.
The problem began under President Bush’s tenure (and EEOC policy), and exploded under President Obama’s Labor Department. (more…)

President-elect Donald Trump continues to frustrate the legacy media by making his announcements around the traditional media enterprises; this time via Facebook.
A secondary source of media antagonism is the lack of institutional academics amid all of the various appointees and nominees.  The professional left are apoplectic about Donald Trump continuing to select successful private sector captains of industry and action-oriented military leaders.  The absence of institutionally academic wonks is making the media very unhappy.
Then again, the old axiom is self-evident:

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, opine about those that can…

(New York, NY) – President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his intent to nominate Linda McMahon to serve as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, a cabinet-level position.
“My America First agenda is going to bring back our jobs and roll back the burdensome regulations that are hurting our middle class workers and small businesses. To help push our agenda forward, I am pleased to nominate Linda McMahon as the head of the Small Business Administration,” said President-elect Trump.

For those who have followed the construct of the transition nominees this report does seem to highlight the most likely outcome for the Department of Homeland Security.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the subject matter expert on how to implement and strengthen the legal enforcement of current immigration laws.  General Kelly would balance the department with a more external focus on threat assessment/prevention. 
Regardless of the appointees, the Trump security policy itself will face rabid opposition from the immigration usurpers within the DC UniParty.  In addition to all Democrats, Decepticon leadership, ie. those paid by Tom Donohue’s expansive lobbying, including: Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Mitch McConnell, Orin Hatch and John Cornyn within the Senate; along with Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mick Mulvaney etc. within the House.

It’s not yet on the Trump Schedule, however additional people are reporting a likelihood of a return visit by President-elect Donald Trump to Louisiana.  
The last trip by Donald Trump and Mike Pence was during the severe flooding earlier in the year, where both candidates wanted to show their support for the community and relief efforts.   Hillary Clinton also promised to visit, but never did. 
There is an ongoing Senate race in Louisiana where the republican state treasurer John Kennedy is favored to win the election.  A visit by Donald Trump would surely boost their supporters.

BATON ROUGE – President-elect Donald Trump is expected in Baton Rouge Friday afternoon, multiple sources told WBRZ Tuesday.
Sources spoke on condition of anonymity as the event is still being planned.  Two sources with knowledge of a planned visit said staff were trying to find a venue.  Before the election, Trump’s schedule was regularly updated with seemingly spur-of-the-moment rallies that were heavily attended.  Events are known to attract thousands of people.

Oh, the winning… odd how it just seems to self-create now.
Recently reelected Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi (moonbat via San Francisco California) claims, in the face of another historic election loss, the Democrats don’t need a change in direction they just need a better vehicle to communicate their ideology.
