“Gateway Pundit is not a reliable source.”

I see this from time to time yet I can’t recall them being wrong during the campaign. In fact every story they have up this moment is correct.

Apple is announcing they will be making the iphone in the USA

No, not the complete phone.....parts.

Guess you still wish Canadian Cruz had won right?

Some of you Trump supporters have still not got over this election cycle and yawl won. I would have hated to seen what would have happened if you would have lost.

You probably would have been worse than the college anarchist out there in the streets now. Stomping around, hollering, and bellowing "I am moving to Canada Mexico to live!!!!!!!!!!

I have been proudly driving my 2005 Ford Edge Ranger 4WD 4.0 SOHC for 4 years now.
I love my truck. It gets me up and down the hills in deep snow.

I can haul my brush to the dump. Just tie everything up using the side rails and rope

I can haul half a yard of top soil at a time to my property.

Good quality, American made. A small truck, lots of power and acceleration.

I paid 10,000 for it used in 2012. Low mileage.

It looks small compared to the Heavy Duty’s 55,000 dollar trucks, but it does the job.

I have a feeling that Putin and Trump have a great deal of common ground. They both want to halt the march of Islam into Europe. They will work together to make the Saudis and the Iranians pay for the settling of refugees in various places about the Levant.

This drives the left in America crazy to no end.

PMSNBC and CNBC are claiming this is false. That blah blah balh - Trump’s tweet was wrong.

Trump's tweet was wrong? His friend Bill Ford did not call him???

He posted two tweets in a row:

“Just got a call from my friend Bill Ford, Chairman of Ford, who advised me that he will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky - no Mexico”

“I worked hard with Bill Ford to keep the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. I owed it to the great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me!”

It looks to me like the networks are completely ignoring the fact that Trump actually spoke with the chairman of Ford.

If indeed true, this would be the first BIG WIN for America through a Trump admin. Holding out for conformation, but seems to be great news.

The coin of the realm in DC dropped to zero last week. This is one reason why that lady who was investigating HRC’s human trafficking scam is dead tonight.

Are there any threads on FR about that?

“For thirty years, the system ran because everyone did illegal stuff, everybody had the goods on everyone else, and so nobody took anybody else out at the knees.”

Yes, you are absolutely correct - perfectly put...and it is also another way of saying, they were all eating at the carcass of the once great nation, having just about completely devouring it in those 30 years.

I switched completely to Ford after the government bailout several years ago. Not one regret in that time. After having 4 Dodge vehicles blow 3 transmissions and an engine, I was done with them. Even the nissan we had was crap.

8 Ford vehicles for my family over the last 8 years. Not one major repair (that wasn’t caused by me or my children). Knock on wood.

It made no sense whatsoever that we were ratcheting up conflict with Russia the way we were. The mess in Syria was as much our doing as anything else and we had no strategic interest whatsoever in removing Assad (or Qaddafi) from power. Russia blocking the Saudis from developing their pipeline and exporting Sharia by keeping Assad didn’t harm our strategic position...and actually helps in the fight against terrorism - Saudi Arabia is the primary source of Jihad, certainly Syria has never been that.

And frankly, Ukraine is in the Russian sphere of influence and always will be. We should not have a major dog in that fight. Ukraine is a chit in the European battle and we should not base our relationship with Russia on some newfound loyalty to Ukraine. We will have better impact anyway by having good relations with Russia than by having low-grade conflict with them.

Much better for us to engage positively with Russia and work with them to create greater ties and a more lucrative and positive relationship. The benefits of that far exceed any downside from a more prosperous and engaged Russian nation.

"When was Lincoln on the table anyway? It was ALL small car production. Is there a small Lincoln based on the Fushion platform? Who wants a upscale Lincoln from Mexico, no brainer. Head fake?"

"Ford builds the Lincoln MKC small SUV at its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky alongside the Ford Escape SUV. Ford had never said it was considering shifting MKC production south of the border. But the company confirmed Friday that it had been “likely” to move the work to Mexico in 2019 when its current contract with the United Auto Workers union expires.

“We had planned to move the Lincoln MKC out of Louisville Assembly Plant," probably to the Cuautitlan factory in Mexico, Christin Baker, a Ford spokeswoman, said in an e-mail."
