    Ben Carson said he would help President-elect Donald Trump construct a replacement to Obamacare. “I think the replacement must obviously come first and it must be something that is very appealing and easy to understand,” he told Politico Wednesday. “And then, only then, would you dismantle what’s in place.” Carson declined to say whether he was being considered for a Cabinet position, but Politico reports that his name is being floated as a possible candidate for positions such as secretary of health and human services or secretary of education. Trump campaigned on replacing Obamacare with a simpler, cheaper alternative that...

    "You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about." "Go out there and win an election." That's about as direct as you will ever hear a politician be about how he feels about his opposition and how they are conducting themselves.

    Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) talked to Fox & Friends and shared his thoughts on Donald Trump's campaign promise to build a wall on the southern border of the U.S. He noted, " “He [President Elect Donald Trump] can get started when he has a good Homeland Security Secretary. It is amazing what you can get Congress to do when you lead and push them in the right direction. It is going to be great to have someone who is actually following the law … we are going to be able to get this done. It’s gonna happen.”

    Readers, please note: Dissuade any concerns or fears about appointments and key positions. Please ignore the media narratives, as they are spun in the same method and manner as their “media polls” for the same purposes, undermining. Remind yourself who Donald Trump is; and feel confident that for the first time, you really do have that guy heading to the White House. President Elect Donald J Trump doesn’t suffer with fools gracefully.

Though political philosophies differ greatly, there was a huge populist movement behind Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump both. There are millions and millions of people who want nothing more than to clean house in Washington, stop the people who are shafting them, and be left alone to enjoy their lives.</p>

    The National Review ^ | 11/9/2016 | PAUL CROOKSTON
    Paul Krugman has already had to walk back his prediction of a global recession following Donald Trump’s presidential victory last night. His initial post on the New York Times’ website was confidently apocalyptic about the prospects of Donald Trump plunging the world into a depression: “If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.” He concluded by saying, “So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight. I suppose we could get lucky somehow. But on economics, as on everything else, a terrible thing has just happened.” Markets rebounded in...

    Voting in America is over. Donald Trump has emerged victorious over Hillary Clinton and will become the 45th President of the USA. Early signs as to how this unexpected result occurred can be seen in demographic exit poll data, with Clinton doing worse than expected among women, Hispanic voters and African Americans. By comparing Clinton's performance to Obama's in 2012 it is easy to see that she failed to appeal to a number of key voter groups. Groups that it was predicted she would have more support from. - - - Trump gained support among Hispanic and African American voters...
