Trump Vetting Review Exposes Sad US WorkForce Situation
-
Roanoke Times, 1-31-2017, Pg 6: CEOs push back over immigration ban; technology companies first to push back.

-
An
unintended result of the Trump Vetting Review will be the exposure of a serious
deficit in our US College graduate’s skill and knowledge base.
Not to
worry media, there’s no shortage of majors in history, literature, journalism,
law, and black-history.
-
The problem
is in the numbers and caliber of intellectual assets for research, development,
test and product support. All the things
required for our core competency to “develop and make things” that can be
bartered and sold into the world economy that provides good jobs and supports
our standard of living for everyone.
Today our major
exports are agricultural and forest products produced by those totally unappreciated
Ag-folks from our Land Grant Colleges (Aggies are 3% of our workforce).
-
A major portion of the Green-Card
and Visa holders in the US
are here because tech-based businesses cannot find enough US graduates with the skill and
knowledge required to do the hi-tech development jobs.
Jobs like
engineers, physicists, chemists and programmers. What a blunt indictment of our educational
system, our anemic work ethic and warped Obama-anti-business priorities.
-
Recently
there has been a renewed interest in STEM education (science, technology,
engineering, and math).
Four major STEM challenges loom:
·
Where
to get, pay and retain the teachers who are qualified to teach these courses?
·
How
to motivate high-potential students to commit to these challenges?
·
How
to develop STEM teaching-learning facilities and environments?
·
How
to contain the costs of the required college programs?
-
After the
new and improved Trump-vetting processes are in-place, the sad reality is that
we will continue to import and give Green-Cards and Visa’s to hundreds-of-thousands
of people from other countries; some of whom may not share our values and most
of whom will return to their native lands to add to their core competency.

Obama and
his followers and the DNC-Pravda Media are out of their gourds with indignation
and hostility and rants.
Obama, Kaine, Schumer et al are out leading the group-think chants that Trump is not playing nice with immigrants.
Obama, Kaine, Schumer et al are out leading the group-think chants that Trump is not playing nice with immigrants.
Their
“1984-DoubleSpeak” alleges that these people have all the rights and privileges
of American Citizens. This totally false
and dangerous premise is what has yielded our 12-million illegal problem in the
first place in addition to our home grown self-Radicalized Muslim Terrorists.
-
Old
Artillery Adage:
You know
you are on-target by the howls you hear from the impact area!
-
The Obama Immigrant Doctrine has
been that if someone enters you home illegally; crossing the threshold gives
them the right to take up residence in your home and become your dependents for
life!
-
We are long
overdue for a complete review of our border security and vetting
processes. Trump promised to do it and
clearly he will do it! What a refreshing change.

The Dangerous And Warped BiPolar World We Live In

Iran tests a ballistic missile (in violation of UN resolutions) in their quest for a
nuclear-tipped intercontinental missile that can target the US and simultaneously 57-nations are “worried”
about a US
90-day stay on selected immigrants from selected Terrorist Infested countries.
Really? America First certainly makes sense in this
Obama-world!

FoxNews: “Trump
signed an executive order Friday that imposed a 120-day suspension of the
refugee program and a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S.
from citizens of seven terror hot spots, including Iraq,
Syria, Somalia and Sudan.
Trump responded Monday morning, by saying that only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained. He blamed the chaos at airports on a Delta computer outage, protesters and “the tears of Senator Schumer.””
Trump responded Monday morning, by saying that only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained. He blamed the chaos at airports on a Delta computer outage, protesters and “the tears of Senator Schumer.””
-
Trump Bad? But, every president going back to Carter has
had short-term bans on entry to the US by persons of specific
countries.
-
It’s
comforting to know that the “Obama HomeLand Security Agents” are questioning
the credentials of 109 people.
(Obama’s
agents are still on the job – Trump hasn’t replaced anyone but Johnson).
Apparently these Agents are now empowered to do their jobs!
-
This 90-day
ban on questionable persons from the most Terrorist Infested countries seems
like a very modest start to establish a proper vetting system after 8-years of
Obama’s negligence.
-
If the
vetting were specifically for Muslims, the list would have included Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Seven Inconvenient Facts About
Trump’s Refugee Actions
Example of
Obama’s Immigration Malfeasance:

Citizenship and Immigration Services granted citizenship to at least 858
individuals who were ordered to be deported or removed under another identity,
according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report.

Trump’s New Catch And Release Program
-
Many
fishing tournaments and many fishing clubs require a Catch And Release process
in which the fish is returned to its natural environment as quickly as
possible. That means do Not keep,
transport or reintroduce to a remote site under penalty of law.
-
-
Obama
defined Catch and Release for US border intruders to mean:
Apprehend
if convenient
Feed and
Water
Transport
to a US Welcome Center
Relocate to
an American City of their choice
Join the
Government Dependency Community
Enjoy your Sanctuary City benefits
Enjoy your Public Housing
Here's your free ObamaPhone

-
It appears
Trump is redefining and simplifying Catch And Release as:
Stop
Turn-Around
Go Back
Don’t Come
Back -- If You Do – Go To Jail
-
Yet another reason voters voted for
Trump!

Appalachian Trail "Pipeline Obstructionists" Have Lost Credibility
-
RT: Where Mountain Valley Pipeline would meet Appalachian Trail
-
RT: Pipeline's
impacts on Appalachian Trail raise concerns
“As currently envisioned, the buried
42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline would climb Peters
Mountain from Monroe
County, West Virginia, cross the
Appalachian Trail in a section managed by the Jefferson
National Forest, and descend the
mountain in Giles
County before continuing
east.
-
-
The
Appalachian Trail "Pipeline Obstructionists", masquerading as environmentalists, have
lost their credibility by trying to present the Appalachian
Trail as a “pristine wilderness trail” about to be desecrated by a
50-foot right-of-way for a buried pipeline.
-
The
Appalachian Trial is wonderful and scenic but it is not “a pristine wilderness
trail” in the pipeline path area.
The reality
is that Franklin Roosevelt with his WPA
Skyline Drive-Blue Ridge Parkway d-flowered the
Blue Ridge 90-years ago.
-
One year
after the pipeline is installed there will be a 50-foot open area similar to a forest
service fire-stop-lane and clearly not a desecration or environmental issue;
especially when viewed in context of the public roads and parkways traversed by
the AT.
-
Some realism
observations about the Appalachian Trail:
1) There are 100-miles of “graded” Appalachian Trail along the Skyline Drive portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Yes - GRADED!
2) The Skyline Drive intersects with the Appalachian Trail 32 times. Just how remote and rustic are those
crossings!
3) The Blue Ridge Parkway is itself a major
blacktop highway running on the very top of what was a pristine ridge in Virginia and parallels and
runs within sight and or sound of The Trail for many miles.
4) The Appalachian
Trail crosses the Blue
Ridge Parkway multiple times between The Peaks and
I-81 at Troutville and crosses many secondary roads like Rt-43 and many forest logging roads.
5)
In addition to the highway reality, do these hikers not realize how
un-natural their parking areas, beat-down trails, trail-enhancements, markings and
stair-ways are?
-
The bottom line is that the Valley
PipeLine may be a real issue for some property owners, but spare us these
stories of woe by these Hikers who have no valid issues except obstructionism.
Advice: When you are hiking the AT stop,
look and listen before crossing The ParkWay, it’s not the PipeLine that’s going
to run over you.

Parkway A Blessing; Gas Pipeline A Curse?

-
US economic growth slowed in Q4, but there's hope ahead
-
Yes there’s hope ahead because we
just elected Donald Trump who, unlike Obama, believes in the American Free
Enterprise System, the power of the free market and the importance of the
small-business entrepreneur and business-person.
-
The
American people will not have to be witness again to the disgusting spectacle
of Obama at Roanoke’s
Fire House #1 mocking and belittling the business-people of this country.
-
In-addition-to
the dismal GDP, 8-years after the recession ended, we are left with a totally
corrupt measurement of the “unemployment rate” that clearly doesn’t reflect the
largest number of “workers not in the work-pool” since the depression. Obama has moved them onto
government-dependency and stopped counting them as workers. How sad is that!
-
To
add-insult-to-injury Obama has spent his last week blowing his pathetic-horn
about his great accomplishments; however, he missed listing a few items:
-
Comey has
discredited the FBI.
Lynch has
discredited the DOJ
Lerner has
discredited the IRS
Ginsburg
has discredited the Supreme Court
Hillary has discredited the State Department
Hillary has discredited the State Department
Shinseki

McAuliffe The Pathetic Ideologue

Roanoke Times, 1-26-2017, Pg Va 3: House passes bill for counties to decide if home-schoolers may participate in Public School Athletics.
McAuliffe
has Vetoed same bill twice before.
-
-
The
Democrats constantly berate Republicans for being Ideologues.
Ideologue:
an adherent of an ideology, especially one who is uncompromising and dogmatic.
-
What to
call McAuliffe who is denying homeschooled high-school students the opportunity
to participate with their neighbors and friends in public school games supported by their parents taxes?
-
This in
concert with McAuliffe’s staunch support of having males in the female
bathrooms, locker-rooms and showers in these same public schools.
-
Solution: Have all home-schooled students who wish to
participate Self-Declare themselves to be LGBTers!
-
Problem
Solved! McAuliffe will personally escort
them into the bath and locker rooms and then right out onto the playing field
and then back to the showers! What a
guy!
And these

Massive Voter Fraud
-
Trump
continues to drive others to distraction over his claim that there is massive
voter fraud.
All the
pundits insist that Trump prove his assertion.
-
Wrong
paradigm!
The assertion is that every vote
cast without Voter-Picture-ID is a suspected fraudulent vote.
-
Only in
small rural areas do the poll workers know the voters in their area to be
long-term residents and valid voters.
All other poll workers do not have a clue as to who is voting and if
they are “qualified to vote”!
-
Aiding and
abetting this “voter fraud” are the felonious sanctuary city mayors who have no
incentive to ensure fraud-free-voting, but instead have a major interest in
having all 12-million illegal-immigrants vote plus all the dead-democrat voters
vote also!
-
20% of
these 12-million voters would amount to 2-1/2 million votes, the amount by
which Hillary “beat” Trump, primarily in California
and NY.
-
It’s clear
why the Democrats, their minions and the DNC-Pravda Media have been fighting
Voter-ID every step of the way!
-
The Trump
Fix For Massive Voter Fraud
Require
Photo-Voter-ID to vote for Federal
Offices.
Require
that the ID comply with Federal Requirements.
Require
that Registration comply with Federal Requirements
Including documented
Citizenship.
This will
be Awesome! Really Great! Wonderful! You'll See!

Sanctuary Mayors Harboring Criminals

Trump orders clamp down on immigrant 'sanctuary cities
Trump
fulfilling another of his campaign promises.
-
-
The Mayors
of many major US cities are
proclaiming and bragging that they are Harboring Criminals with their Sanctuary City positions.
-
“Harboring a fugitive refers to the crime of knowingly hiding a wanted
criminal from the authorities. Federal and state laws, which vary by
state, govern the crime of harboring a fugitive.”
-
Given that harboring a criminal is a crime, instead of withholding money
from sanctuary cities, the DOJ should send in US Marshals to arrest the felonious-mayors
involved and then continue to arrest any replacement mayors until the cities
come-up-with acting mayors who will comply with federal law so that we can get
these illegal-criminal-immigrants out of our country ASAP!

Roanoke
Times, 1-24-2017, Pg 1,5: BIG Headline: Trump pulls US out of trade deal.
“Trump’s move on trade aimed to fulfill a central campaign promise even as he appeared to be ‘fixated on revisiting the 2016 election’”.
“Trump’s move on trade aimed to fulfill a central campaign promise even as he appeared to be ‘fixated on revisiting the 2016 election’”.

Item 1: That
big bad Trump with his own pens and cell-phones signing his own executive
orders! The headline makes this look like this is a bad thing!
But wait –
During the 2016 campaign both Hillary and Bernie ran AGAINST TPP – (she was for
it before she was against it) -- Really!
-
Item 2: The
article berates Trump for “fixating on his election promises”! Really?
Isn’t this
what voters would like elected officials to do for a change?
Hasn’t
there been a major complaint about officials Not following-through on their
campaign promises?
Why doesn’t
this article-author praise Trump for his follow-through?

Item 3: The
TPP is Not a completed trade deal, far from it:
“The
Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the world's biggest multinational trade
deals, was signed by 12 member nations in New Zealand, but the
massive trade pact will still require years of tough negotiations before it
becomes a reality.
The signing
is "an important step" but the agreement "is still just a piece
of paper, or rather over 16,000 pieces of paper until it actually comes into
force," said New Zealand
Prime Minister John Key at the ceremony in Auckland.
The TPP will now undergo a two-year
ratification period in which at least six countries - that account for 85 percent of
the combined gross domestic production of the 12 TPP nations - must approve the final text for the deal
to be implemented.”
