Report: It Takes At Least 170 Days to Fire a Government Employee
I suspect we all have a knee-jerk reaction to this headline; however, to be fair, every case must be treated on it's own merit.
Some actions probably do require instant dismissal, while others need some investigation to get it right...

Elizabeth Harrington recently wrote about it on the FreeBeacon.com website:
"In order to fire a government worker federal managers can consult a 12-step flow chart, which the GAO provided in the report released Monday. The report examined the 'long-standing personnel issue' of the government’s inability to fire bad employees."

Inspector General Michael Horowitz
"TrumpSoldier" has posted a historical timeline using the Thread Reader app:
"Obama nominated Michael Horowitz in July of 2011 to fill a vacancy left open by the resignation of Glenn Fine in February. Mr. Horowitz was confirmed in March the following year, and sworn in on April 16th, 2012.
It was a nomination Obama would come to regret."

'Palestinians' Lie and Count on Your Ignorance
The Middle East conflict has continued for quite a long time.
Every few years there appears a new hope for some agreement.
Perhaps President Trump will be the one who succeeds...
Every few years there appears a new hope for some agreement.
Perhaps President Trump will be the one who succeeds...
On the American Thinker website, Dan Calic recently took the time to explain what goes on:
"In the Arab-Israel conflict, one issue which rises above every other is the accuracy of what is presented. The Palestinians are relying on people not knowing history in order to advance their narrative. Israel on the other hand is relying on people knowing history.
From where I sit, over the past two or three decades, it appears most people do not know history very well. Thus, the Palestinian narrative has gained popularity and has shaped much of public opinion.
What’s especially troubling is that the mainstream media has adopted most of the Palestinian propaganda, or seems to sympathize with it. Sadly, the days of objective news reporting appear to be gone. Today’s reporting has pretty much turned into op-eds, rather than simple straightforward news."
Have Republicans finally found their groove?
Brian C. Joondeph, writing at AmericanThinker.com, wonders if it will continue:
"Finally, Republicans have finally realized that Trump is a winning horse. Reagan, not Nixon. Or either of the Bushes. He had a great first year, accomplishing much despite an overwhelming and unrelenting assault from the media and their Democrat allies. Those opposing Trump have been steamrolled. Why would Congressional Republicans want to suffer the same fate when hopping on the Trump train is far easier and politically expedient?
Regardless of reason, Congressional Republicans have finally found their groove. The question is will they keep it up or fall back to old ways in the new year? If they can remain unified with the President and each other, think of how much they can accomplish."

MAGA Success IS The Existential Threat… | The Last Refuge
On the ConservativeTreehouse.com website, "Sundance" explains:
"Never has their been a more brutally obvious intention on display, than with President Trump’s cabinet selections. Toward the end goal of MAGA, President-Elect Trump assembled his cabinet; these would be the subject matter experts to whom he assigns specific responsibilities.
Now, unlike most ‘politicians’, the filter of cabinet selection qualification did not include political repayment for campaign support rendered. Indeed, all previous political presidencies used cabinet positions to repay political favors; generally, it has always been thus. However, for POTUS Trump the intensely mapped-out MAGA objective is the primary filter. He was looking for results oriented ‘doer’s’ not politicians.
Within this cabinet, the level of competency and skill is stunning."
Global Warming: Fake News from the Start - Tom Harris
Here's a bit of a review on the subject of "global warming"...
Dr. Tim Ball and Tom Harris begin their posting at Townhall.com with this:
"President Donald Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change because it is a bad deal for America. He could have made the decision simply because the science is false, but most of the public have been brainwashed into believing it is correct and wouldn’t understand the reason."

Ambassador Haley on the United States Negotiating a Significant Reduction in the UN Budget
Does this work for you?...
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is definitely on the job:
"Today, the United Nations agreed on a budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Among a host of other successes, the United States negotiated a reduction of over $285 million off the 2016-2017 final budget. In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system."

At ConservatieTreehouse.com, "Sundance" tells us:
"Go ahead and mark the date on the calendar, you’ll remember this day. Earlier today the United Nations voted in favor of a nonbinding resolution declaring President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital 'null and void.'

Former Facebook Exec: 'You Don’t Realize It But You Are Being Programmed'
On the Gizmodo.com website, Jennings Brown recently reported on this:
"...When the host asked Palihapitiya if he was doing any soul searching in regards to his role in building Facebook, he responded: 'I feel tremendous guilt. I think we all knew in the back of our minds—even though we feigned this whole line of, like, there probably aren’t any bad unintended consequences. I think in the back, deep, deep recesses of, we kind of knew something bad could happen. But I think the way we defined it was not like this.' He went on to explain what 'this' is:
So we are in a really bad state of affairs right now, in my opinion. It is eroding the core foundation of how people behave by and between each other. And I don’t have a good solution. My solution is I just don’t use these tools anymore. I haven’t for years.
Speaking more broadly on the subject of social media, Palihapitiya said he doesn’t use social media because he 'innately didn’t want to get programmed.' As for his kids: 'They’re not allowed to use this shit.'"

Australia - Migrants banned from welfare for three years after arrival
Sounds like a plan...
This article by the Australian Associated Press was posted on the U.K. Daily Mail website:
"Newly-arrived migrants will have to wait longer before receiving a range of welfare payments under a hardline new approach expected to save $1.3 billion.
It will be three years before migrants can receive Newstart or family tax benefits, paid parental leave or carer allowances.
The push to 'encourage self-sufficiency' among new migrants was one of the headline savings measures announced by Treasurer Scott Morrison in a mid-year budget outlook on Monday."

His enemies have been weighed in the balance and they have been found wanting. They shall have their reward. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers, especially the president and Mrs. Trump."

'The Gloves Are Off': Top General Says U.S. Demolished $80 Million in Taliban Heroin Labs
Now why didn't I think of that? [smile]...
Edwin Mora reported this on Breitbart.com's National Security site:
"The U.S.-NATO coalition in Afghanistan has pulverized 25 Taliban labs used to process opium and its deadly heroin derivative, depriving the narco-jihadists of $80 million in illegal drug proceeds in the first three weeks of an unprecedented counternarcotics air campaign. Since November 20, U.S. troops and their Afghan allies have been targeting the Taliban jihadists’ opium business in their Helmand stronghold, the top-poppy producing province in Afghanistan."

Many of these nutty professors are adjuncts, part-time instructors who are barely vetted and often hired on the fly just days before classes start, sources told The Post."

Coal Is Here for the Long Haul
Back in October, at AmericanThinker.com, Richard Zuber discusses an item of truth:
"The global energy outlook lays bare what many politicians and energy sector specialists have long known to be true but have been wary of saying above a whisper, especially during the Obama years: coal is here to stay. The numbers – along with major power installation projects underway domestically and abroad – don’t lie. And while green activists might wring their hands, this energy outlook in fact represents a goldmine for the U.S. if we choose the right strategy: one focused on meeting the needs of developing economies hungry for more energy, and on investing in clean coal and similar technologies to maximize the efficiency of our nation’s new plants."
Foster Care Shouldn't Be a Profit Center for Families
At NewsMax.com, Michael Reagan recently wrote about this thing:
"Foster parents receive a monthly stipend for foster children in their care. The check is based on the age of the child, extenuating circumstances, and if the child has any disabilities. Amounts can vary depending of the state administering the program.
One thing all the checks have in common is that when the child turns 18 the money from the state stops. Call me naïve, but I would have thought that if a family truly cared about the individual it was fostering the absence of a check would not make any difference.
It shows you how much I know. For some revenue-minded foster "parents" when opening the door no longer provides a check, the foster child is shown the door."

At Shopfloor.org, Chad Moutray posted about this one:
"The latest NAM Manufacturers’ Outlook Survey reflected continued optimism in the sector, with the headline index rising to unprecedented heights. Indeed, 94.6 percent of respondents said they are positive about their own company’s outlook, the highest in the survey’s 20-year history.
Optimism has been at historically high levels throughout the year, averaging 91.8 percent in the four quarters of 2017, up from a 64.3 percent average in 2016. Manufacturers have reported a robust turnaround in activity over the past 12 months, and they are very upbeat in their assessment of demand and output moving forward. NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons appeared on CNBC to highlight these results."
GOP Would Rather Lose than Fight
At AmericanThinker.com, Brian C Joondeph, MD, MPS, recently wrote about the Republican Party:
"Who are the opponents? Who is pushing back? One might think the Republican Party is the resistance to the progressive enemy. A slide toward socialism, communism, fascism, or any other “ism” leaving the anointed ones in power deciding for the masses what is best, how they should live, what they should think, how they should behave.
Yet the GOP is not pushing back, instead its members acquiescing or cowering in fear of being called mean names by the prominent newspapers and television networks. Acting like wimps. Not willing to fight, to teach, to explain -- the only way to win this war.
The pushback is instead coming from one man, his assembled team, and 65 million citizen supporters."

As discussed here, "Net Neutrality", is also not as it sounds; and for that reason the FCC Chairman wants to do away with it...
The Conservative Treehouse website has posted the transcript of the FCC Chairman's explanation of his intentions. The media's reporting on this issue doesn't match well with his actual words:
"The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai, fired a direct shot across the bow of the technocrats who control social media platforms today.
Chairman Pai righteously called out Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other platform control agents for being ideologically biased, and using their platforms to target their ideological opposition.
Defending his plan to roll back Obama’s one-sided internet rules, the Chairman outlined how he intended to ensure a free, fair and open internet."

MERRY AGAIN: Retail Sales Blow Away Expectations - Breitbart
At Breitbart.com, John Carney reports this:
"Holiday shopping got off to a booming start in November, signaling sustained strength in the economy.
Retail sales rose 0.8 percent on a monthly basis in November, more than twice the 0.3 percent gain expected by economists, according to data released Thursday by the Commerce Department.
Data for October was revised sharply upward to 0.5 percent from the previously reported 0.2 percent rise.
Compared with the prior year, retail sales were up 5.8 percent.
The stronger than expected retail sales number increase the odds that fourth quarter gross domestic product will come in higher than expected."
The Liberal Media Goal Always: The Agenda, the Agenda, the Agenda
I suspect he has witnessed the same history as many of us have...
At NewsBusters.org, Jeffrey Lord reminds us of why we should be skeptical of the liberal media:
"At the moment the demand is for Roy Moore’s head. Beyond that the target is, of course, President Trump. But always, always, always the real reason for all of this coverage is The Agenda, The Agenda and The Agenda. If in fact Franken and Conyers have to be thrown overboard by the media - then over they go.
And for precisely that exact same reason there was absolutely never any intention of throwing Ted Kennedy overboard in the day. When he got too out of hand, he would be chastised in the media like a rambunctious child. But he would be protected, Chappaquiddick and invitations to underage girls or waitress sandwiches be damned.
In other words? First, last and always the liberal media will protect the liberal agenda. If that means covering for Ted Kennedy or the Clintons - they will do it. If it means the reverse - as it does this moment with the dispatching of the just re-elected liberal Al Franken they will do that too."
The Disney Channel is no longer safe for our kids | New York Post

"As a mom of three young kids, I’m careful about what they’re exposed to on television, and I screen the shows they watch to confirm they reflect our family values of respect and courteousness. That’s why my kids are banned from watching the Disney Channel.
The Disney Channel and its spin-off, Disney XD, are no longer 'safe spaces' for kids. The kid characters on Disney’s shows are often mouthy and disrespectful to parents and authority figures (who are usually scripted as muddle-headed and embarrassingly square). Even many of the strange animated characters make crass and nasty comments."

Fake News Firehose: Science Proves Media Are Not Making 'Honest Mistakes' About Trump
At Breitbart.com, John Nolte writes about what some of us already know:
"Therefore, through the use of dispassionate science and math, the only conclusion one can come to when observing the national media’s relentless fire-hosing of fake news is that these are not 'honest mistakes,' but instead deliberate lies — attempts from a biased and partisan media to destroy President Trump through a propagandistic crusade of calculated disinformation.
What allows us to safely come to this conclusion?
Well, what would you think of a scientist who came to you with a coin-flipping experiment that resulted in 0 heads and 100 tails? That is easy, you would know the experiment had been rigged, that he is lying. And you would know this because a 0/100 outcome is impossible without a corrupting influence, without a conscious act of bias."

1. Trump floats a good idea — for example, declaring Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel.
2. Debate ensues, with the experts telling us that it cannot be done, and the world telling us that it should not be done.
3. Trump makes the decision anyway, and suddenly all of the terrible things we were told to fear somehow fail to happen.
4. The world accepts Trump’s choice, adapts to it, and moves on — until the next crisis. "

Fox News wrote in 2016 that the Lolita Express, a Boeing 727 jet, was 'reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.'
Clinton flew on some trips where the flight logs showed only the first names of female passengers."

The judge did not assign jail time because, he said, 'I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.'"

"Though Foremost has played a pivotal role in McConnell’s life, bestowing the senator with most of his personal wealth and generating thousands in donations to his campaign committees, the drug bust went unnoticed in Kentucky, where every bit of McConnell-related news has generated fodder for the campaign trail. That’s because, like many international shipping companies, Chao’s firm is shrouded from public view, concealing its identity and limiting its legal liability through an array of tax shelters and foreign registrations. Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag."

Donald Trump's Secret Admirers
Dan Truitt has this as part of his post at AmericanThinker.com:
"Watching Trump, I thought of the contrast between him and the svelte, smooth, athletically trim stride of the previous president, you know, the guy who just spent eight years doubling our national debt, setting the Middle East on fire, handcuffing our businesses with excessive regulations, siccing the IRS on his political opponents, and exacerbating racial tensions which had been relaxing on their own for decades and which culminated in his own election, forever putting the lie to the notion that America is an institutionally racist country. I watched Trump, who walked like something out of Gorillas in the Mist, and I laughed. I laughed loudly, knowing that he was about to put the kabosh on some snooty, self-important journalist who is just as clueless as to how to handle the man as he was on that day in the summer of 2015 when he announced his run for president. Man, this guy is fun."

In another book, Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?, the main character queries their gender identity. Questions for children to engage with after reading the book include: 'Does it matter if Tiny is a boy or a girl?', and 'Should Tiny be allowed to play football and dress up as a fairy?'."

Well, illegal is illegal, and the law is the law. Next question...
In the New York Times, Vivian Yee tells us about Immigration & Customs Enforcement in Atlanta:
"ICE’s Atlanta office made 7,753 arrests across Georgia and the Carolinas from January through June, the most recent period for which data was available. That was more than any other field office except Dallas’s, and an increase of nearly 80 percent over the same period last year.
'If you’re in this country illegally, you should be scared,' said Sean Gallagher, the Atlanta field office director. 'We’re probably going to come knocking at some point.'
ICE officials say that agents do not randomly arrest people, instead targeting immigrants such as Mr. Martinez-Samano. But rumor often outpaces fact. In the suburban neighborhoods where hundreds of thousands of immigrants have made precarious camp, dread of a knock from ICE informs every decision."

What Really Happened At The School Where Every Graduate Got Into College
On the NPR.org website, Kate McGee reports on the school where EVERY graduate got into college:
"An investigation by WAMU and NPR has found that Ballou High School's administration graduated dozens of students despite high rates of unexcused absences. We reviewed hundreds of pages of Ballou's attendance records, class rosters and emails after a district employee shared the private documents. Half of the graduates missed more than three months of school last year, unexcused. One in five students was absent more than present — missing more than 90 days of school."
Stanford's elite business school caught cheating by student
Eathan Baron posted this story on "The Mercury News" website:
"In February, MBA student Adam Allcock discovered 14 terabytes of confidential student data from financial aid applications, according to a new report. Later that month, Allcock reported the breach to the school’s financial aid director, and the records were removed within an hour, the report said.
However, Allcock had dug deeply into the data, spending 1,500 hours analyzing the information and putting together an 88-page report, according to Poets&Quants, a website covering business school news.
Allcock’s conclusion? The Graduate School of Business had not been honest with students, in fact had been 'lying to their faces' for more than a decade.
Rather than being solely need-based, the fellowship grants were used to rank students according to their value to the school, Allcock determined."

"The New York Federal Reserve’s tool for forecasting gross domestic product (GDP) hit its highest point ever on Friday, pointing to a fourth-quarter GDP growth of 3.93 percent.
The number is so high that the New York Fed’s 'Nowcasting Report' had to be rescaled to allow for such a high reading. Prior to the most recent quarter, the Nowcast has never before predicted GDP above 3.2 percent and rarely ever above 3 percent."

On the FoxNews website, Brent Scher has this posted:
"Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) took action earlier this year to make her family's private plane untrackable by the public, according to documents obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration. McCaskill garnered much criticism ahead of her last reelection campaign over her use of a private jet at taxpayer expense that she demanded her husband 'sell the damn plane.' But they bought a new, more expensive plane shortly after she won that election. Now, as she gears up for her next election fight, they have taken action to limit scrutiny of the plane's use."
Stealth Bomber Design

"Detailed information on the B-21 Raider is still scarce to say the least, but for over a year and a half we have had a rendering supposedly depicting the multi-role strategic stealth platform's basic shape and features. Recently, other simple platform renderings have trickled out from the marketing department of the stealth bomber's manufacturer, Northrop Grumman. Although there can be no doubt that the aircraft will feature a whole slew of cutting edge technologies, will be constructed using the latest manufacturing techniques, and will be covered in the most advanced radar absorbent coatings, the general configuration of the aircraft doesn't seem to be new at all, in fact it appears to date back over three decades to the dawn of the stealth bomber revolution."

It becomes clearer every day that President Trump's attributes, energy, and resolve, are an exact fit to fix almost everything in the world that has gone astray over time...
At AmericanThinker.com, Patricia McCarthy has come to this conclusion:
"They still don't get that Trump is smarter than the lot of them. They think that because he does not speak as they do, because his sentence structure is unlike their own, he must be stupid. They are slow learners. He has been in office nearly a year now and has accomplished quite a lot despite all the bipartisan efforts to sabotage his agenda. Unemployment is down, food stamp use is down, consumer confidence is high, and the stock market is roaring in contradiction to all the lefty talking heads who said it would crater.
