President-elect Donald Trump isn’t even in office yet and he’s already proving his business savvy attitude could be exactly what American workers need.
In his latest deal, Trump managed to convince air conditioning company Carrier Corp. not to move manufacturing to Mexico, keeping nearly 1,000 jobs in Indiana. Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence plan to travel to the state Thursday to unveil the agreement alongside company officials.
Trump confirmed the meeting on Twitter late Tuesday, promising a “Great deal for workers!”
Carrier tweeted that the company was “pleased to have reached a deal” with Trump and Pence to keep the jobs in Indianapolis.
Trump spent much of his campaign pledging to keep companies like Carrier from moving jobs overseas, and he is living up to that promise. His focus on manufacturing jobs contributed to his appeal with working-class voters in states like Michigan, which has long voted for Democrats in presidential elections.
Neither Wilbur Ross, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, nor Steven Mnuchin — the banker picked to be treasury secretary — would discuss specifics about the agreement on Wednesday. But Mnuchin told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Trump and his administration are “going to have open communications with business leaders.”
He said Trump called the CEO of Carrier’s parent company and said it was “important to keep jobs here.”
In February, Carrier said it would shutter its Indianapolis plant employing 1,400 workers and move its manufacturing to Mexico. The plant’s workers would have been laid off over three years starting in 2017.
United Technologies Electronic Controls also announced then that it planned to move its Huntington manufacturing operations to a new plant in Mexico, costing the northeastern Indiana city 700 jobs by 2018. Those workers make microprocessor-based controls for the HVAC and refrigeration industries.
Carrier and UTEC are both units of Hartford, Connecticut-based United Technologies Corp. — which also owns Pratt & Whitney, a big supplier of fighter jet engines that relies in part on U.S. military contracts.
In a September debate against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, Trump railed against Carrier’s plans.
“So many hundreds and hundreds of companies are doing this,” Trump said. “We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us. We have to stop our companies from leaving the United States.”
Carrier wasn’t the only company Trump assailed during the campaign. He pledged to give up Oreos after Nabisco’s parent, Mondelez International, said it would replace nine production lines in Chicago with four in Mexico. He criticized Ford after the company said it planned to invest $2.5 billion in engine and transmission plants in Mexico.
Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, which represents Carrier workers, said of Tuesday’s news: “I’m optimistic, but I don’t know what the situation is. I guess it’s a good sign. … You would think they would keep us in the loop. But we know nothing.”
The event Thursday in Indiana will be a rare public appearance for Trump, who has spent nearly his entire tenure as president-elect busy with advisers and meeting with possible Cabinet secretaries. He plans to make other stops later this week as part of what advisers have billed as a “thank you” tour for voters who backed him in the presidential campaign.

Excellent! The front page of the Boston Herald today proclaims the good work that Trump did in helping the Carrier workers. When was the last time that you saw a politician help working people? Trump is helping union people. Meanwhile the out of touch AFL-CIO leaders are still praising Hillary and the NAFTA crowd. Thanks Trump for caring about working people.
Jim DeCoursin says
AMEN!
VICKI BENTLEY says
TRUMP IS GOIMG TO BE THE BEST THING THATHAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY IN THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS…EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE AMAZED AT THE CHANGES HE WLL BRING TO OUR COUNTRY GREAT START TO THE NEXT FOUR YEARS PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Barbara says
I am so excited about things he has been doing and he is not even in office yet!!!!!!!
Rebecca says
I never doubted Trump!! Think he’ll do a lot for the country.
william says
Vicky,,,, Don’t forget “Ronnie”..
Peter Joffe says
America is the largest business in the world and needs a business man to build it to the great country and business that it once was. Economics and politics are mutually exclusive and never will a decent economic decision be made by politicians. In most of the world it is politics first and economics second but with Trump is will be Economics First and no interference from self serving or ‘Politically Correct’ politicians. The Democrats criticized Trump for his lack of political experience but this is his greatest strength and so say 80% of all Americans. Trump knows that he can hire or appoint politicians where they are needed and also appoint business people to help him run the economy. If Trump offers shares in the USA business I WILL SELL MY HOUSE TO BUY SOME.
Dr. Robert Schwartz says
Yes. This is a great move by our team.
CJ Nysschens says
You have the realize how huge the rebates, etc, are in countires like China, Korea, Japan, etc., for instance to their manufacturing sector exporters. USA will have to even the playing field in no uncertain manner. Just recall that USA was always a tariff country till the globalists got into ruling the roost. There is much room for improvement regarding leveling the playing field in the area of imports. We need some of their goods, but, we as consumers, we need to afford those imports too. Another area of great concern! Overtaxing the USA citizen. CJN
merc122548 says
You are right on the button. Talk about out-of-touch and getting caught flat footed. How about that United Steel Workers President saying “I GUESS it’s a good thing”? Real concern for the American workers there, huh?
Gerhard says
The United Steel Workers President is one of those that see their jobs fading away from them.
His reply is from from an absolute “goner”.
Shalom
JCS says
And I’m very ashamed of my union – they always endorse the democrats which I never vote for anyway. Seeing the good president Trump has done now, wait and see what will happen Jan 20. “Thank God”
Gerhard says
AMEN !!
Perhaps many Unions will “wake up”.
Shalom
gloria estrada says
Remember all the people that were,and are agianst trump? i’d like to see their shamless face’s now, he’s putting them to shame, i always new he would do vary well.

You bet !!
Rev. Royce Beasley says
IN OVER 70 YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE LIKES OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, I DO BELIEVE HE IS A MAN OF HIS WORD. IF YOU AGREE LET IT BE KNOWN.
EMILIANO says
I said from the Beginning” GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE AND HE WILL CHANGE AMERICA FOR THE BETTER. But do this without ROMNEY.
Lynn says
Donald Trump has proven to the world that he is a strong business man who has a history of making sound decisions. Therefore, on that record, I think that President elect Trump has a strong plan with specific goals for America and its people, and has the experience to talk with people and make a sound decision on who can best assist him in putting his plan in action achieving his goals. That said, if President elect does go with Romney or any other person that we do not personally agree with, then I will trust that Pres-elect Trump has a specific reason for his choice that I may not completely understand. Thus, I will support President elect Trump; I will respect his choice and trust that it is the best choice for America and its people.
Xavier says
Interesting situation with those idiots….but then that is what they are and have always been…idiots….
Main Street says
Great to have a leader who cares more about working class Americans than transgender bathrooms, illegal aliens and vacations.
Don Bower says
Amen, brother! It is not who or what you are, its about how and why you do it!
Main Street says
If Hillary won, these workers would have lost their jobs. Their only option would be low paying no benefit jobs. I can’t say enough good things about Trump’s caring.
Greg says
You are right.I want to add that a lot of people lost jobs and working these low wage jobs.Now they have to try and get higher pay to work these.Example.15 dollars an hour to work fast food.Yup we get Obamascammed as the price of goods and food goes up.Time for the Libs.to get their heads out of their butts.Unfortunately their heads got stuck.
Jackie Spencer says

Figures with a name like Tom Brady

IS HE ONE OF THE BRADY BUNCH????
Henry Yuraszeck says
Get out my country , if you found one better let me know.
Sal Belardo says
Tom Brady–Yeah he hasn’t built the wall yet heh! You can’t even spell shit!
Will says
He WILL… and Then were gonna put you on the other side of it… so’s we kan praktise our espellin… lol, lol, lol, bite me, brady… ooh. Poor baby, brady… tut,tut,tut. Smile, we’ll Trace you later, when were rounding up the rest of your kind. Over the Wall with THEM all.
.
EMILIANO says
DON,T PUT A BURDEN ON THE GOOD MEXICANS WITH THIS KIND OF TRASH.JUST SHUT THEM UP SOME HOW.
Rob says
That may be the reason he didn’t keep the unions “in the loop” as they said. They are irrelevant. If you check back, they were voting for and supporting monetarily Hillary.
Thom Vander Pluym says
Union workers and blacks vote for the Dem’s and what do they get……….lose of jobs or NO jobs…. AND, they do it every election….makes one wonder how smart these people are ! As Rob says; “…unions are irrelevant.”
joe says
most of them believe manual labor is a mexican
EMILIANO says
THEY ARE GOOD IN BRAIN WASHING THE WORKING CLASS TO GET THERE HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THERE BIG MANSIONS AND FANCY CARS AND MORE.THERE WAS A BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE “METROPOLIS” WHO WAS AN EARLY PICTURE OF UNIONS.WE COULD GET THIS IN REALITY WITH OBAMA AND CLINTON.
Constitutionalist says
Thom-
i think that unions are quite relevant – the rank’n’file, that is, NOT the “leadership” thereof. Those “in charge” often make deals with devils, while the members just want to be able to take care of their families and set some dough aside for their children’s futures.
i’m very glad that Trump has wasted NO time in implementing some of his beneficial strategies; my fear is that the PtB will pull out all stops to ensure he does NOT take office, up to and including a “terrorist” false-flag nuke. May the Holy angels of Our Heavenly Father surround and protect him and his from all harm save that which will teach him proper fear and reverence…not to forget all those in the Intelligence community who support him, as well as all honorable, oath-keeping armed agents of the USG, state and local agents, too.
John G. says
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! A man of his word and who keeps promises – can’t be a “politician” of course not just a man of the people who’s intent on making “America Great Again” by doing the right things.
Pedro Zorza says
Like to see how this is completed….as Trumps record for not keeping promises is endless….Build the Wall! Lock Her Up! etc., etc. His promises are all BS. I wonder what the cost to the workers will be?
John G. says
Pedro – a backer of the biggest liar of all time and we should put creditability in what you have to say – I don’t think so.
Mike says
He’s not been sworn into office Pedro. Relax. You’ll see the south side of the wall soon enough.
John G. says
Mike – my sentiments exactly (South Side of the Wall).
Dirty 'D' says
There are other ways to build a ‘wall’, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical ‘wall’, think about it.
BGB says
HAHAHAHA…can’t wait til the buses start rolling them all OUT!
John says
What’s the cost of not having a job to go to???????????? With any agreement there is give and take. Companies are moving manufacturing out of the US, because they cannot compete in the world economy with sky high US labor rates for unskilled labor. Economic impact is what drives the US economy. I am sure that there will be a cost to this deal. But, the alternative is far worse…………
Alexis says
I just bought 2 leather baseball caps for my husband for Xmas. I had a choice of $12.99 from China or $19.99 from a MADE IN USA. I CHOSE MADE IN USA!!! I’m always looking for USA products. Let’s support our American workers and economy!!
Sal Belardo says
Pedro Zorza–What did you get from the LOSER Hillary? She violated our trust and made million of dollars for herself, not to mention what foreign governments gave to the Clinton Foundation thinking they were going to get favors! Next time don’t vote for a felon and a prostitute!
Dirty 'D' says
I think Trump will leave ‘Lock her up’ to his new AG!
Dorothy says
Well, they will have to get up early to go to their JOB! Thank you President Trump. I forgot that some ppl do not want to work – they had rather live on the hard work of others. I hope young, strong workers will strive to maintain their desire to be self supporting. This wl allow sick and older Americans to be helped as they deserve.
God bless President Trump and VP Pence!
Gordon Latz says
I think the last three comments were terrific. Right on the money. Can anyone remember the last time we elected a successful business person as president, NO neither can I.
CJ says
It’s good to see someone who puts the needs of THIS country first.
I’m not against humanitarian efforts, but that comes AFTER your own people have been taken care of.
John G. says
CJ – here, here – you’d have to be a “Moron” to feel differently.
Boyd Tracy says
Wouldn’t perhaps headline this as jaw-dropping. It’s a drop in the bucket as far as our national economy.
BUT
To 1000 families who were facing loss of employment it is more than jaw-dropping. And to thousands who put their trust in what POTUS elect Trump was emphasizing as one of his top priorities when elected, it is a significant signal that the Trump Pence team intends to be boots on ground in its efforts to fulfil their platform goals.
Robert Laginess says
Amen to both, there is hope now Apple will bring back 2 plants to the U.S., Ford has endeared themselves to me by calling Pres. Elect Trump and telling him the Lincoln line will stay in Ky. not Mexico. Can`t wait until Obabacare is replaced and Bill Clinton`s NAFTA will be re-negotiated. Looks like Cuba will also get a long look, that GIFT that Obabama gave them may be terminated. There will be many wonderful things for our country in the future.
nancy says
AND HE IS NOT TAKING A SALARY WHILE DOING HIS JOB!!
Pedro Zorza says
..but, he is already bringing the family business into the White House….nothing like a conflict of interest…
Gregory Pek says
Piss off troll. How much are you paid to lie.
Trump has done more since his election than Obama did in 8 years. Well more positive. Obama has actually done a huge amount. He has virtually destroyed the USA – things like giving Pedro welfare, driver license, the vote, and millions like Pedro the illegal. The bad and the ugly.
Frybrain says
Wrong again! You libtards just can’t seem to get anything right. Take your socialist agende and move south of the wall we are about to build.
John G. says
Pedro – you’ll get all the facts on Dec. 15th, if you can’t wait leave now – your home of origin is calling and awaits your return.
Milica Pesakovic says
He’s not bringing business into Whitehouse Pedro you are not current on the news or are listening to the wrong people. As of 16 Dec. 2016 he will remove his name from his “Great Business ” and his children will run the business. You are uninformed Pedro!
Dirty 'D' says
Hmmmnnn, ain’t been done yet, has it. Too many people second guessing what will happen. Did you really think Hilarious would eliminate family and personal interests from the White House? Personally I am very happy that I won’t have to worry about that now……………….will I?

Well Pedro, As a PATRIOTIC Senior Citizen, I will take a SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN BUSINESS FAMILY any day over CORRUPT SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST LEANING POLITICIANS WITH NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE HELLBENT ON KILLING AMERICA !!!
DONALD TRUMPS FAMILY SHINES IN WORK ETHIC, BUSINESS SUCCESS AND AMERICAN PRIDE IN OUR COUNTRY, OUR VETERANS, AND DEFINITELY WILL “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !!!”
THANK YOU TRUMP FAMILY FOR CARING ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.

Where did you get that at? You’re not paying attention.
Shavis Irons says
Way to come out of the blocks, Don, now set your pace and don’t look back.
Eric says
I would call the problem corporate greed. We in Canada had the best screws in the world, the Robertson screws. The company was bought out by a US company that closed the operation here and started buying from China. They are now one of the worst screw in the world. It would not surprise me that the equipment to make these screws ended up in China. I have seen many products that had been developed here in North America ending up in China and many of those had received government research help. In other words we develop something and we turn around and give our technology to China. When one company moves their production to China or Mexico the other have no choice but to follow their footsteps if they want to survive. This whole thing was started by Walmart. I worked in a store selling auto parts and I saw the parts that were made in North America replaced with parts from China and other countries. The quality was not there, very poor workmanship but people would buy them because of the price. I have seen tie rod ends fall apart when the mechanic was installing them.
I believe our problem is the following. Years ago we all saw the junk coming from Japan but it turned into the best on the planet. The Japanese before designing something they would determine how much the market could afford to pay for it and then then found a way to manufacture it for that price. In North America, price is the last thing on their mine. We build something with no thoughts about the sales and then we want to price it so it will pay for our inefficiencies. We have to become more efficient but keep our manufacturing cost down. Our system also have too many middlemen, all wanted to make 30%. Our companies must have pride in their work not just looking for profits and ending up with a part that nobody can afford.
BGB says
You all got your own problems…a prime minister who is Castros son and his mother who is the whore of the country. Worry about your own problems before insulting ours.
darrell Scheele says
I am just praying Trump stands as firm on his word ,with the Wall and putting a stop to illegal immigrants crossing our borders, and the prosecution of Hillary Clinton, on these few promises full filled he will be deemed one of our greatest president’s ever.
Sharon says
Yes , thats great news. These diehard demrat voters need to go to cuba ! Thats where they belong.get a good taste of what they voted for. Go Trump….
Dirty 'D' says
I’m available to help them pack!! A few of them so called ‘entertainment’ personalities are eating crow, they must like the taste, they ain’t packing!!
Nick says
You’re the man Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old1 says
Trump did it for free and the benefit of the workers. The dues the union collects should go towards protecting those jobs have done nothing but have the nuts to say they feel left out.
H says
He has done more than Obama has done in 8 years.
Annick Stiefel says
For sure! He is a hard working man and a Great American.
Mark Allen DeLanoy says
It’ just the beginning! He will do more for jobs in 1st 90 days than Nobama did in eight years! HilLIARy wouldn’t even know where to begin but it would probably go like this … “I’m sure with a donation to our foundation or a speaking contract for Bill, we can help you!”
Also, always exclude fat cat money (dues) grubbing Union bosses (BOSSES ARE NOT LEADERS) from the loop. Tell them to sit down and shut up!!! They would only muddy the water trying to get a piece of the action.
Trump should get companys to get concessions from union for staying In US!!! GREAT JOB DONALD! Show the world what a LOSER OBUMMER was and HITLERY would have been!!!!! LOCK HER AND BILL UP!!!
Dirty 'D' says
It is said that they will never lock up a past President or a sitting President………..I firmly believe we should TRY!!!

I hope Trump can bring the Ford jobs back to Michigan.
Sandra says
I voted for Mr Trump.
I donated Multiple times for his Victory.
Being from CA, I drove to another state to hear his speeches.
I hope and pray that President Elect Donald Trump Does what he said he would do and continues to do for our country what prior Presidents have failed to do.
Justin W says
It’s refreshing to have a President who wants to make America great. Sadly we have seen very little of this sort of leadership over the past eight years. It looks like America made the right choice on election day.
Mason says
Wow UNBELIEVABLE!!! Not even in office yet and did more than Obama did in 8 years total. In four years, Trump will win again by 20 million votes. Dad by day, people are going to wake up and see Trump is going down as the greatest president of all time.
Greg says
Make America Great Again, Not even taken the Oath now I know why Us Trump supporters stood thru thick and thin, to elect a True American Man, A man of his word Donald Trump, My Type of Employment was HVAC and when I heard Carrier was moving to Mexico, made me sick. Well now I know we have the right person to take that Oath, President Trump, Thank You and may God Bless you and your Family and Team. Good Job.

Trump is just getting started. We are going to be very pleased with the things that he will accomplish if the Left Wing “Libtards” will stay out of the way. I’m ready for some big changes in our economy.
Joanne says
WHAT PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP HAS DONE TO DATE IN KEEPING JOBS IN THE USA PUTS THE CURRENT POTUS TO SHAME. I BELIEVE THERE’S MORE TO COME FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL WHO CARE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
robert says
Think about this. If we were not in three wars and spending millions every single day. I bet there would be more than enough money to get America up and running again (quick). Why do we have to spend millions to fight somebody else’s war. Don’t give me that (we fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here) bullshit. If we got out and minded our business we wouldn’t have war to worry about ,plus the country would rebound a lot faster. When did it become our job to be the world police? Address this situation Donald. Do the right thing for America. GET OUT of the pointless fights we have taken on due to bad leadership moves.
JoAnn says
THANK YOU PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP! I KNEW THAT TRUMP CARED MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE THAN A GLAMOUR JOB WITH THE PRESIDENT TITLE. I FEEL LIKE A WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS. THERE IS HOPE NOW.
Frank Shineman says
Wow! Finally, a leader to lead our country. One of you was right in your comment that if Hildabeast had won nothing would’ve changed. Hey, Pedro, you don’t even have the sense to understand that the promises Trump made, he can’t start on until he is inaugurated. But as a skilled businessman, he is doing what he can in the meantime. Did you guys hear that the crazy globalist demonic-rats are going to try to use the 25th Amendment to declare him unfit! The insanity goes on and on.
Dagonet says
Does this kind of deal sound like something Ohole or HRC would have brokered? **** no, especially after Bill pushed NAFTA and, H originally supported TTP (or was it TPP?)

… would that someone (Trump?) would do something about the largest state on our Nations left coast.
(Read on Drudge that Jerry Brown and his Californicating ‘flippy-dips’ want to begin regulating ‘cow-farts’!)
Goofy flippin’ state teetering on the verge of going bankrupt, and one of their major concerns is cow’s farting?

and you’re surprised because…? Maybe they will declare the entire state a Cow Sanctuary, no Farting here!!

IrishEyes2c says
I would be more concerned about the hot air coming out of the liberals mouths and if it will have an effect on our ozone layer. Out of all the concerns with economy, everything else and they’re worried about a cow passing gas? God, how in his name did these idiots voted to keep this jerk power again, after killing CA in the 1970’s? Stupidity, doing the same thing over again expecting different results. CA in a nutshell.
John Barritt says
On inaugural day, when Trump has been sworn in, he should turn to Obama and say: “You are fired!”
john basile says
Yes, I believe Mr. Trump really has America in his heart, I could tell when he made his speeches, not with words, but with body language and his eyes and face. It was especially telling when he heard he won the election. I am a Korean Vet from long ago and have never seen that in all other presidents, except George Bush’s son, George.
Ruth Burgess says
I am so glad that we finally have someone in the white house that will go to bat for us. He is a miracle man~!!! Good luck Pres. Elect Trump.

Terry says
Henry Ford figured out prudent business decisions a really long time ago. Such decisions have been bastardized in recent years by CEOs that are focused on the bottom line alone. What Ford did was raise the wage of his employees to $5/day. Why? So they could afford to buy Ford’s cars. Unemployed out of work people only buy what they are able to buy. We need to phase real jobs back into America, of course after the hemorrhaging of jobs is driven to zero. Maybe we should all sell China short as boat loads of jobs start making their way here!
"Dr. Derf" says
“How great is our God???”
And, now … how encouraging are President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence as they already are beginning to help us U.S. citizens to … “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”
Amen!

Trump brings common sense, pragmatism, and the ambition to succeed in a world economy, back to America.
Jim says
A victory? American jobs will still be moved to Mexico, just fewer of them. Will the items produced in Mexico be subject to a surtax to help build the wall, or was this bargained away under a deal? I would have been impressed if no jobs were going to Mexico.
Jim
RJintheUSA says
Jim I didn’t vote for Trump, I feel he is a Trojan horse that will bring in the Police State, but I have to give credit where credit is due. He kept these particular jobs here, which is more than any other has done before him in recent memory. I just wish he would re-think some of his cabinet choices, like his choice for transportation secretary, her husband Mich is establishment and her fathers company was tied to trafficking cocaine. Most of his cabinet choices are establishment, so much for draining the swamp, but at least he saved some jobs, lets just wait and see what else happens.
jimmyT says
Give Trump and Pence a chance, in the past 8 years we have lost income, seen the cost of living rise as raises were low or ZERO, with the pride of being an American under attack from the Dems. Those of you that hate our country can take Obummer and Hitlery and move to Mexico. Some of us still have pride in our Nation and are looking to make things better, judge by their actions, not the lies the press spreads. I thought that Obummer would do something good for all, he has done something, but only for Hitlery, Iran, Cuba, and the remainder of the stable countries in the Mid East. Let the B!tch get rich, put the rest of the Mid East in shambles, paid Iran billions, supported murderers in Cuba, killed any work with Putin to stabilize the world, and got his head so big that he has to use double doors to get in or out. The Idiot’s days are numbered, he will be sent packing soon. The guy is a disgrace to America and has caused more division than trying to bring us together . I hope he leaves our country and moves to where we never have to see him again. It is time for the Bullsh!ter in Chief to get out of office. Lie to us once, shame on us, lie to us twice, shame on you Obummer. How many of your race voted you in for change, the change was for the worse not better.
jimmyT says
To good days ahead!
Barb says
Way to go, Mr. Trump!!! You did what you said!!! Your word is your bond. What more could we ask for from an elected official? Bring all those corporations home soon and we will watch the country flourish! And remember to let America be the corporate home to many other businesses from other nations around the globe who need a good place to work and have a reduced tax! I think of you as the Godfather who makes offers that no one can refuse. YAHOO!!! Love your work ethic!!!
IrishEyes2c says
I don’t know about anyone else but I love watching the mainstream media eating crow. All the false claims that Trumps policies will remove democracy in the US. wa wa wa. They are actually having a positive effect and he hasn’t taken office yet.
Here are some truths. The “progressive” (love the positive turn for socialism) and Democratic Party have been trying to divide Americans into groups, entitled groups as possible, doling out money from other taxpayers to purchasing everyone’s vote within these various groups. Victimhood and victimize is the message, I’m a victim what are you going to do for me? Is the question. Whether you’re black, homosexual, Hispanic, poor, female, or a transvestite, and any other block they can convince that our federal government is their savior and every day white people are their enemies.
Here are some hard facts all true and thoroughly researched. The most violent cities in the US are: Detroit, MI, Oakland, CA, Chicago, IL, Memphis, TN, St. Louis, MO (pray for my friend who is a cop in that horrible, violent city), Cleveland, OH, Baltimore, MD, Milwaukee, WI, Birmingham, AL, Newark, NJ, Kansas City, MO (ran as an Independent but leans liberal) and our loving capital, Washington, DC. To just name a few. All big cities controlled by Democratic mayors and councils. Let me just say… great job fellas. Job well done.
The most violent city in the US is Detroit and has been in the hands of the Democratic party since 1961. So, how has life gotten better for these folks? Promises made by a democrat is a promise easily broken. If the liberals actually care about you then why hasn’t your life gotten better? Because a liberal tells you it has and the media reinforces it? It’s much easier to be a victim and pretend you don’t notice but don’t they realize they’ve come full circle and are slaves again to the Democratic party as they were during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars (yes, the southern Democrats were the slave owners and Republicans freed them. So, let’s keep voting for the Democrats anyway).
Okay, so the message from the Democratic Party is, “You’re a worthless loser, dejected human being and have no value, fanning the flames of hatred and bitterness (Black Lives Matter). However, you are entitled to what only we, “the elite political ruling class,” can provide for you — now vote for us for eternity while we pander and whisper sweet nothings in your ears.” Flowery, yet empty promises. They use terms such as fairness, empathy, social justice and income equality (or inequality) are used to promote their deceptive agenda as caring when it’s oppression. I believe most Americans have empathy for the poor, donate what they can by monetary, clothing, etc in donations to the Salvation Army, Easter Seals, United Way and our churches. We aren’t heartless or uncaring BUT when are you going to wake the f up?
Asked a minority liberal what has Obama done for them? The answer lots. But, when you ask them what specifically has he done and given them. You see the wheels turning but I only heard the crickets chirping..

Hurray for our President Elect:)
I worked for a subsituary of UTC. We went from 600 to 28 employees in just a few years when thy started to send our work and computers down to Mexico.
They brought and paid for Hispanic personal to get schooling in the US and called in the Japanise people to reorganize the Mexican facility. They paid huge amounts to have them organise work lines much like any American woman would organize her kitchen. And the product suffered as well as the American people.
GO Trump ! Lets rebuild America then we can share with other nations.
