Us Economy grows at over 4%

The Donald's tax cut is working well.....gosh.....that wasn't supposed to happen.

Nancy Pelosi will say that it is crumbs.

Well vs an average of 1.8% under Bush/Obama she might say that, smart people wouldn't. Manufacturing jobs are up.....the trade deficit down by $50 billion. African American and Hispanic unemployment rates the lowest in history. 3.5 million Americans no longer need food stamps. It's a blowout.....businesss confidence at a record high, exports soaring, Who in their right mind would want to return to Obama?

And then the BBC response....... a few seconds snippet of Trump making the announcement and a bit of waffling about the accuracy of the figures. Had it been less than 1.8% they would have dedicated the entire news bulletin to it, followed up by a Panorama program and numerous documentaries. At least they are making more about the repatriation of bodies from NK. But then they return to the anti Trump narrative about the progress with the denuclearisation.

I think that 90% of Americans with a teeth to tattoo ratio greater than 1 would take the classy, eloquent and internationally respected Barack Obama back in a heartbeat.

Say Koos, have you ever been to the USA, seen all these toothless people with tattoos. Or are you just vomiting up what you see on SABC? Hell your first trip to London was a huge revelation......you were forced to pull back on your mud island comments. Best just accept all your opinions are spoon fed to you by the media you choose. Nothing you really think comes from sober observation.....oops, did I say sober.

You mean this Obama? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/07/27/obama-administration-approved-200g-grant-to-group-with-al-qaeda-ties.html Obama administration approved $200G grant to group with Al Qaeda ties The Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant to a group in Sudan with ties to Al Qaeda even though it had been designated a terrorist-financing organization by the U.S. years earlier, a conservative think tank revealed this week. An official with the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, backed up the National Review account in an email to Fox News, providing a timeline of events: The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated the Islamic Relief Agency in Khartoum in 2004 a terror-financing organization because of links to Usama bin Laden. But 10 years later, in March 2014, USAID awarded $723,405 to a charity called World Vision Inc., with $200,000 of those funds being directed to the Islamic Relief Agency. The money was directed “to help provide humanitarian aid, including emergency food, water, sanitation, and hygiene services, to displaced people affected by the ongoing conflict in Sudan,” the official said. The grant to ISRA, though, soon set off alarms. In November 2014, according to the official, USAID learned that the ISRA could be on the Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or SDN, list. “USAID directed World Vision to suspend all activities with ISRA, and not to engage in further transactions with the organization,” the official said. But in May 2015, the Treasury Department still authorized “a one-time transfer” from that money of $115,000 to ISRA “for humanitarian assistance work already performed.” According to the National Review story, there was pressure from inside USAID at the time to still pay ISRA, even after the designation was revealed. USAID’s mission director for Sudan, Larry Meserve, warned colleagues that the organization’s “whole program will be jeopardized” if ISRA was not paid, the story said. “Obama-administration officials knowingly approved the transfer of taxpayer dollars to an al-Qaeda affiliate, and not an obscure one but an enormous international network that was often in the headlines,” Westrop wrote. USAID now says the grant should not have been made. Because of the grant, the USAID said Friday, they have since conducted a review of policies on the screening of awardees. “USAID has also updated trainings for our agreement officers to improve our screening of prime and sub-awardees,” the official said.
