BREXIT

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The Brits just shot themselves in the foot by voting to leave the european union. The pound is at its lowest level since 1985. The exit is taking the world markets down the toilet, too.
So, why did the Brits vote to leave?
Answer: Migrant immigration! In the union, migrants freely migrate across Britain and any other country in the european union:

So, the migrants screwed everybody, one way or another. And those rich Arab countries that wouldn't take them in? Well, they're sitting pretty...

Trump Gets It Right on Saddam

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump and this commentary are absolutely spot on:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/06/opinions/trump-comments-on-saddam-opinion-bergen/index.html
The only glaring item missing here is the responsibility of Dick Cheney in creating and fabricating the entire fiasco that got us into the war in Iraq...

Family "Paid Leave"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Geez, so now an employer will have to foot the bill for every employee who pops out a kid, plus pay for the substitute employee while the regular employee if off on paid leave! That appears to be the case with Clinton's plan while Trump is touting a full tax deduction for the costs of child care! There goes the deficit!
http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/10/pf/clinton-trump-child-care/index.html
We already have overpopulation as it is and govt employees aleady get just about any perk you can think of for their "hard work". Are you kidding me?....

"Carrots and Sticks"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump's policy statement on the Israeli-Palestinian question is officially "neutral".I expected more from him. Maybe he doesn't want to lose the neo-nazi vote,.As far as Clinton's goes, I'm afraid to look.
Now, Israel has offered a new approach: the Palestinian areas that don't produce terrorists get carrots in the form of economic aid and will prosper economically while those that harbor terrorists will get the bad end of the stick:
http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Liberman-unveils-new-carrot-and-stick-policy-for-West-Bank-Palestinians-464360
Israel has tried ceding land with an advanced greenhouse on it so the Palestinians could grow their own food but they looted and pillaged it and used the land to fire missiles at Israel.
I hope the carrots and sticks approach works...
