Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this WINNING yet? – This damn Trump economy just will not cooperate with all the Democrats and their media toadies who keep rooting for a recession.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report released on Friday showed the Trump economy adding another 130,000 new jobs even as the economy approaches full employment. FED Chairman Jerome Powell called the report another sign of a growing and healthy economy, indicating that he sees no sign of any recession on the horizon. Democrats everywhere recoiled in horror.
Other highlights of this jobs report include:
– Record low African American unemployment;
– Record low Hispanic unemployment;
– A record high number of Americans participating in the labor market;
– A continuing unemployment rate of 3.7%
That, folks, is WINNING, bigly, and it never gets old.
Here’s some news you won’t see on CNN. – Hey, remember back in May when Democrats and their fake media toadies ridiculed President Donald Trump for giving up on the stonewalling congress’s refusal to do anything to secure our southern border? Remember how he decided to pressure the government of Mexico to cooperate in that effort instead, and how the Pelosi’s and Schumer’s of the world laughed and said it would never work? Yeah, I remember all of that, too.
Well, barely three months later, we now know it has worked in a big way. The Mexican government has made great strides in slowing the invasion of our southern border by Central American migrants who have been recruited and organized by leftist human traffickers from the U.S.
Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador says his government’s crackdown has resulted in a 56% reduction in this highly-0rganized human trafficking invasion across the border in the three months since President Trump gave him the choice of taking action or suffering crippling tariffs on Mexican goods coming across the Rio Grande. According to the Associated Press, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show that “the number of migrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in August was 63,989, down from 144,266 in May.”
Obrador, a life-long leftist who campaigned on promises of making the border even more wide open than it already was, has suddenly become a hard-liner in the face of Trump’s tariff threa…er, incentives. Funny how that works, huh? Check out this passage from the AP story:
His administration has taken a tough line against hundreds of African migrants waiting in the southern city of Tapachula for transit visas that Mexico no longer hands out.
“We will not budge,” he said after the Africans protested, “because the recent events in Tapachula aim to make Mexico yield and oblige us to give out certificates so migrants can get into the United States. We cannot do that. It isn’t our job.”
He said migrant caravans once tolerated by Mexico were the work of human traffickers, and effectively ended them.
“All of these people who traffic with migrants’ needs for jobs, safety and welfare, they are committing a crime and they will be punished,” López Obrador said last week. “We are already doing this in Mexico, without violating human rights. We are ensuring there isn’t anarchy, disorder.”
Then there’s this:
Mexico has raided freight trains that migrants ride north, and pulled thousands off buses and out of the freight compartments of trucks. The government has warned bus and taxi drivers they could lose their permits if they transport migrants.
Activists say that has forced migrants to hike through unpopulated areas to avoid checkpoints, exposing them to greater risk from thieves, muggers and rapists who lie in wait.
Now, all the liberal open borders snowflakes out there are going to wail about how mean and nasty that all is. The claims by the “activists” are most likely false, talking points designed to engender exactly that sympathy by their U.S. useful idiots.
But this is exactly what needs to happen to disincentivize these Central American people from signing up for the human trafficking caravans. It is no accident that these caravans started early last Fall, after Obrador had been elected on his promises of easy access through Mexico up to a wide-open border. The Human traffickers – 357 of whom have now been arrested and charged with human smuggling by the Mexican government – took that message down to Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica and tens of thousands fell for the siren song and signed up.
But today, the message making its way down to Central America is going to be that the wide open door is closing, and those who sign up for the caravans are likely to find themselves halted in the middle of Mexico and subject that nation’s governmental authority, and the coyotes who brought them that far are as likely as not to end up in jail.
So once again, for about the 10,000th time, we see a policy decision taken by President Trump being ridiculed by all the “smart people” on the left and in the leftist fake news media ending up producing exactly the results the President intended. Once again, we see the President winning for ordinary Americans while our betters in the D.C./New York/California media-political complex recoil in horror.
Tired of all this winning yet? Yeah, neither am I.
That is all.
This NEVER gets old indeed!
The Desperate Dems. will try to impeach Trump for being successful. The Dems. want to punish Trump supporters.
Has all the interlocking and seemingly unrelated issues buttoned down before making a move.
Case in point
Giving notice of withdrawing from the Postal Union back on 10/17/18
This will have a big impact on Chicom exports to US starting on 10/17/19.

Make Democrats Cry Again...
Please, I can’t take any more.
Too much winning
Mr President please show mercy.
Can you lose just once?
Now just remove the H1B and H4EAD Indian and Communist Chinese trash from the US and we will have record unemployment and underemployment for American Software Engineers and others. As an added benefit, no more 737Max problems or CapitalOne problems as Americans with real skills can fix these problems.
That would put a yuge dent in the mostly left-learning tech companies in Puget Sound and Silicon Valley.
While he is at it, remove the Indian and Communist Chinese from our universities and give the spots back to deserving Americans.
Turned on the locat Saturday morning news in ABQ for the weather and who got murdered overnight here in Crime City. Instead got a clip from someone in the south crying over the fact that a needed new school at a military base wasn’t going to built (not now but later) because the money is going to build the wall. Not just CNN but the local outlets take the anti-Trump network feeds and push the fakenews - nothing good, all bad with Trump.
No doubt President Donald Trump will tout these numbers at his rally on Monday. Why? Because BLACK JOBS MATTER.
Amen!
