    Good job New York, Ala. thanks you.

    “That’s right. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced in her State of the State address that Kimber, maker of handguns and bolt-action rifles, would be putting a little drawl, y’all, into their products. Kimber’s going to build a $38 million automated design, engineering and manufacturing facility that will employ 366 people. The doors will open and customers can expect Troy, Alabama markings on their guns in 2019.”

    The wheels of justice turn slowly.
    law firm immediately patches callers through to Peter Comey’s direct line there.
    DLA Piper is one of Hillary Clinton’s top ten all-time career campaign donors.
    DLA Piper also does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes. That’s right. In fact, when the Clinton Foundation scandal broke, it was DLA Piper that performed the 2015 audit on the Foundation, which was supposed to be an independent audit for the appearance of propriety.
    Property records show that James Comey owns the mortgage on his brother Peter Comey’s house in Virginia. Therefore, James Comey had a direct financial relationship with a DLA Piper executive at the time he was investigating Clinton.

    Winning!
    he heavy-duty truck, at least in Chrysler’s case, was moved to Mexico in 2008. Ninety percent plus of what gets produced out of Mexico gets sold in the United States. I think this notion of making a car which has got nearly 100 percent utilization in the United States is a bit bizarre. I think it should have never been moved.
    Last week, Fiat Chrysler announced that it was moving production of the Ram to Michigan, which it says will create thousands of jobs.
    “Repatriation of the heavy-duty Ram was owed. We had to correct the mistake of 2008,” Marchionne said.
    The Trump administration’s pro-business stance and the recently enacted tax cuts played an important role in the car company’s decision, stated Marchionne.
    “We are working in an environment which is a lot more beneficial, that’s much more pro-business than it’s been in a long time. Tax reform is going to compensate some of the cost differential in building the car here, as opposed to building it in Mexico,” Marchionne said

    Looks like Trump goes after fine looking women. Guess he ain’t into banging women with large pendulous breasts. To each his own. Just the thought of Donald Trump never have drank one glass of alcohol or smoked a cig once in his life is kinda weird to me. Oh well, nobody is perfect, I reckon.

    Yep. Heard they are moving truck production to Alabama of all places. Will create 2,500 jobs and who knows how many perferial jobs that will be created. Guess it’s Alabama’s reward for winning another title.
    Remember when Obama mocked Trump about bringing back jobs? “What’s Trump going to do, wave a magic wand?” Well, that was not very Hope and Changey of Zerobama, was it? All Trump had to do was the exact opposite of what Obama’s guru Paul Krugman said to do. So simple. Trump makes it look too easy.
    Remember when the Lamestream media mocked Trump when he dared to even campaign in Michigan? Waste of time, he hasn’t a prayer. CNN and MSNBC and the Huff-n-Puff Compost all laughed at the whole foolishness of such a silly notion. Campaigning in Michigan? Oh, that’s a good one. Trump made it look too easy.
    Remember when they said crowd size does not matter? Hillary drawing 350, Trump selling athelic and music arena attendance records. Reminded me of when Grey Davis was talking to half filled school lunchrooms and Arnold was had them lined up stretching down the streets.
    Apple payin 38 billion in taxes to bring money (capital) home. We will need a lot of capital for small businesses to take off as well as job growth.
    What amazes me is after 8 years Obama said ISIS will never be decimated. Only took Maddog 10 months….after the chains from the previous administration where removed. Same with the economy. We were told anemic growth was the new normal. That was until Trump start taking the previous administration’s shackles off the economy.
    Wonder what year two will look like? Trump makes it look too easy. He just needs a month to accomplish what others take years to do..without the luxury of his full team in place clicking on all cylinders.

    Under the ‘trump hasn’t emboldened white supremacists” category — according to a report by the Anti-defamantion League: In 2017 59% of hate crime murders were committed by white supremacists.. a 157% increase in the number of murders compared to 2016. In 2016 only 7 hate crime murders were committed by white supremacists. In 2017 that number rose to 18. Islamic extremists committed 9 murders in 2017. Over the past 10 years, right wing extremists have murdered 274 out of a total of 387 murders attributed to extremists in all categories. That is seventy-one percent of all hate crime murders. We really need to watch out for those damn jihadists from Muslim countries and spend billions of tax dollars ferreting them out and/or keeping them out of the country.

    Those hate crime murders are less than children dying each year drinking poison found under the sink. With that said, one American life is worth about 10,000 of those camel jockey goat humping bush rats.. I’d fly 10,000 miles to smoke a Camel.

    Just a quick thought on the upcoming ICE fandango in the Bay Area.
    I can see the sense in that it is part of an escalation between the state and federal government, the former wishing to essentially ignore immigration law, but I was thinking along different lines.
    It seem to me that if the federal government really ramped up enforcement efforts in neighboring states, they could probably force movement into California. You might end up with a more efficient kind of Kesselschlacht once the illegal aliens are all in one place.
    You do have to wonder if the next logical step in all of this is armed confrontation between federal agents and SFPD, although I suppose that the city police rank and file would be uninterested in carrying through the politics of their superiors.

    Probably Trump throwing out the first card on the table. Certainly got their attention and nothing they can do about it but prepare. “Hey everybody, you don’t have to answer any question ICE asks or let them in without seeiing a warrant. Here is the number to call for lawyers on the ready.” Dare him? Go ahead and dare him. Shut down the government? Triple dog dare ya. DACA ain’t nothing but hiding behind mother’s aprons and children. Easy fix. The real issue is immigration reform. Lefties are on the wrong side of every poll for awhile now when illegal immigration is put in the larger context.

    Trump dropped that card on the table that reads ICE is going after 1,500 illegals they want in Frisco. Know where they live, where they work. Missed a hearing, repeat offender, gang bangers, and poor Luis who has been a model resident, community asset to boot. Family man. Wonder what he did? Sure would be a lot safer if we just could pick them up in jail. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Go ahead, shut down the government.
    Ok, so playing nice and breaking bread got derailed with “I’m telling mommie.” Had your change. Play ball! They will be back at the table singing a different tune soon enough anyway.
    Love what Chucky said. Best comment of the entire SHCgate. Chucky said if Trump wanted to prove that he is not a bigot, he would sign the bill Dickie and Flake put forth. Hmm, 1,500 is a nice small number to start, a little dagger right in the heart of Bluest CA. You know, Trump never spent a lot of time in CA. Not his type. East Coast Guy.

    re: Raids.
    It’s obviously more PR move than anything. Enforcing existing immigration law strikes me as an election winner in most places, especially in a Presidential race. It’s kind of similar to gun law. The Green Libertarians can’t really go head-on in either area and succeed in a national sense.
    Perhaps that explains Paul’s strong preference to fixate solely on Trump’s personal life (and his need to give his fifi a workout). It’s hard to win on the ground on the policy issues (tax law, foreign policy, immigration, guns, rollback of stupid Obama policies) so what is left is trying to continuously attract the dogs with a new tennis ball.
    I just mention this since Mr Emery’s stance appears to be the sole remaining strategy of the Democratic Party nationally. This blog is the national debate writ small.
    It’s interesting to watch a powerful movement that’s devoid of central principles. It makes sense when you view Team Blue as a temporary alliance of interest groups, all of whom have differing strong goals. The ‘Republicans’ have some chance of maintaining a core belief system, which appears to be slowly re-aligning now.
    Nationalism vs globalism is an interesting play to watch, but that globalism is largely a chimera I think, mostly held in the minds of multinational corporate execs and California (and German) liberals. The fascination with vibrant diversity you see in parts of the West is largely a Trojan Horse for a hundred new nations, each trying to carve out a chunk of the existing ones.
