Re: Wingnuts do not understand economics
Sorry, not reading your link. What you are saying makes no sense. Jobs are created by businesses. Businesses always wqant to expand to increase profits. Businesses can't create jobs unless they have enough money to expand. Reducing their taxes makes this possible. What else would you suggest if you want to encourage businesses to expand and increase their number of employees as well as raise wages?

Trump's Supporters Are Not "Wingnuts"
Also the thousands who attend Trump rallies are not "wingnuts," they are average American citizens. Everywhere he has a rally these tens of thousands show up, all energized because they now have a President who cares about them and the country as the Left does not. These represent the solid core of American patriots.'uts

Statistics Show 50-Year Low in Unemployment due to Trump'
I can't read much but I can see that the top ten or so on the Google page for statistics on employment under Trump are all left wing and I am not going there. The first I found that gives a positive rating for Trump's economy is the White House:
U.S. Unemployment Rate Falls to 50-Year Low
Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly Employment Situation Report, which shows robust employment growth in September. Job gains are particularly noteworthy considering that the United States is in the midst of the longest economic recovery in its history. The Trump Administration’s pro-growth agenda provides job creators with the framework they need to expand their businesses and offer more opportunities for workers. Since the President’s election, the economy has added over 6.4 million jobsmore than the population of Maryland. Steady job growth in combination with sustained year-over-year wage increases are not only positive signs for the economy: They also improve workers’ quality of life and incentivize previously left-behind Americans to join the labor force.
The household survey finds that the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent in September, marking the 19th consecutive month at or below 4 percent unemployment. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since May 1969over 50 years ago.
And this one is about minorities: Americans of all backgrounds are experiencing economic success in the Trump economy.
Issued on: September 10, 2019
ASSOCIATED PRESS: US Household Income Finally Matches 1999 Peak; Poverty Drops
The Census Bureau says that median household income rose 0.9% in 2018 to an inflation-adjusted $63,179 from $62,626 in 2017. The poverty rate fell to 11.8%, the lowest annual level since 2001. That improvement reflects increased income over the past several years for many workers in low-wage jobs.
THE WASHINGTON POST: For The First Time, Most New Working-Age Hires In The U.S. Are People Of Color
The surge of minority women getting jobs has helped push the U.S. workforce across a historic threshold. For the first time, most new hires of prime working age (25 to 54) are people of color, according to a Washington Post analysis of data the Labor Department began collecting in the 1970s. Minority hires overtook white hires last year. Women are predominantly driving this trend, which is so powerful that even many women who weren’t thinking about working because they were in school, caring for kids or at home for other reasons are being lured into employment, according to The Post’s analysis.
REUTERS: Tight U.S. Labor Market Shrinks Gender And Race Gaps To Record Lows
A tight U.S. labor market and booming demand in industries with an abundance of female workers is drawing more women back into the workforce, helping to shrink the longstanding gap in the labor participation rate between men and women to the narrowest on record. Other parts of a report released by the Labor Department on Friday showed that the longest economic expansion on record is leading to improvements for workers who are often left on the sidelines. Not only did the unemployment rate for African Americans drop to a record low of 5.5% in August, it narrowed to being 1.62 times the white unemployment rate,
This was the next one:
A record 157,005,000 people were employed in June, the most since February and the 19th record of Trump's presidency, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday.
And the economy added a strong 224,000 jobs in June, well above the estimate of 160,000.
The unemployment rate, the lowest in 50 years, ticked up a tenth of a point to 3.7 percent.

Re: Trump not asking about Biden in request for "favor"
The conversation is not easy to follow, I recognize that, and even though Mulvaney did say everything that needed to be said I don't think he was clear enough to straighten out misimpressions that the Left had already run with. But it IS clear that he was not agreeing that Trump was doing a quid pro quo concerning Biden or the upcoming election, it was about the investigation that was already underway about the 2016 election in which the Ukraine was involved, and as I keep hearing on conservative talk radio withholding aid for lack of cooperation in such an investigation is standard procedure, which is also what Mulvaney said. He wasn't quite clear enough about it since what he said kept getting misapplied to the Biden part of the conversation. There was no quid pro quo about Biden at all.
Mulvaney wasn't clear enough probably because he didn't fully grasp what the confusion was in people's minds. But he said enough to make it clear that Trump was talking about corruptions involving the earlier election and not about Biden.
Whatever confusion there also was about the Crowdstrike server, and apparently there was confusion about that due to Trump's having been given false information about it, nevertheless the mention of that server identifies Trump's subject as the earlier election and not the upcoming election.

The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
WITCHHUNT, The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in Americna Political History by Gregg Jarrett.
I've heard him interviewed and it sounds like this book covers all the issues and all the questions about the Muller Report and is thoroughly documented.
I see at Amazon that Jarrett had written another book on the same subject, THE RUSSIAN HOAX: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump
Anybody here got the guts and the commitment to finding out the truth to read these?

Re: The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
There are always at least two sides to every story. I can't afford a book right now, though.
Not clear: which side of the story are you referring to as your own?

Re: The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
I always feel the need to correct this idea that I'm talking about people when I'm trying to keep the focus on an ideology. The Left comprises the ideology of Marxism and Marxism is entirely at odds with the essential nature of America. As for trusting the NYTimes, you'd have to know its history of misrepresentation/fake news in order to see why it shouldn't be trusted. Again I recommend the book by Mark Levin,
"Unfreedom of the Press" whenever you think you might want to read it and can afford it.

Re: The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
The question is not about Leftist ideology. The question I have is about Right-wing conservative ideology.
The topic is Gregg Jarrett's book claiming the Mueller investigation was a witch hunt in which the whole thing was drummed up out of thin air to try to catch Trump in something. Your concern about right wing ideology is not relevant in this context.

Well, you deny everything I know to be true so there's no point in continuing this. Just wait and see what happens in the end.

Re: The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
You accept the left wing POV, believe the left wing media, don't know what the right has been saying about this or what the book's evidence would be, so I guess there's nothing more to say about it here.

Re: The Muller Witch Hunt Exposed
All the various events Jarrett's book discusses about how the Mueller investigation was a witch hunt with no justification whatever, have been discussed to death already on the conservative media, and the interview I heard with Jarrett makes his book sound like it will be a very thorough discussion of all those elements.
His subtitle is "The Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History." That is how we on the right see it.

We are not discussing ideologiest here, we are discussing the facts of what was said in Trump's phone call to the Ukrainian Preseident.
