Interesting name in the Russiagate era, Rennenkampf...
Paul Georg Edler von Rennenkampff, more commonly known as Paul von Rennenkampf in English, was a Baltic German nobleman, statesman and general of the Imperial Russian Army who commanded the 1st Army in the Invasion of East Prussia during the initial stage of the Eastern front of World War I.
A Million dollar idea- a smoke detector that shuts off when you yell out “I’m just cooking!”
The Hill. Oh Boy.
(Over) The Hill.
yes but we should dig out the employment numbers- theirs can’t be right if we have record low unemployment and record employed and more joining work force but I would like to see actual #s.
Pretty sad state when libs don’t think of being thankful on thanksgiving but how to shut down family members
It helps not having to be accurate or to provide context. Do your own research on the economics of the country, and you will see how misleading this article is.
On that note...author says that last 33 months of last admin had more jobs created than first 33 months of this admin. The last admin always said that they inherited a recession. We were barely, squeaking(maybe), out of one with this one as people and businesses finally started to adjust to the last admin’s disastrous rules. If I’m not mistaken, a significant portion of the jobs gained during the last admin were part time and they used some fuzzy math to arrive at some of their numbers.
I’d also like to see how many jobs were LOST, in the first 63 months of the previous administration. Especially when the last occupant proudly stated that “those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back”, when in fact some have and more continue to do so.
You cannot argue with a reprobate. They are beyond the realm of common sense. Don’t even begin to waste your breath.
My argument for Trump, around my family is this. He isn’t Hitler. Thats all it takes for me to win. They are that batshit crazy.
Use a Jujitsu move. “I know how politics is so important to you, but in the grand scheme it really matters very little. What really matters is where you are going to spend eternity. And if you keep rejecting Jesus Christs free gift, you are going to spend it in hell and drag along with you your wife and children...” That way you will not have to leave, they will. Or you may even save their lives!!
What is this author smoking?
Here’s what I point out to them. It shuts them up.
There are two types of decision makers:
Logical decision makers gather all the facts, both pro and con, relating to a decision. They then continue to gather facts and adjust their decision accordingly.
Emotional decision makers first make a decision based upon how they “feel” about the issue. They then fall in love with their decision and only see the good facts supporting their decision. They are blind to any facts against their decision and will emotionally attack any messenger who delivers contrary facts, or even asks questions, the answers to which deliver contrary facts.
About this time, I point out how emotional they are and that proves they are an irrational, emotional decision maker and they should be careful trusting their own judgement.

Figures don’t lie, but liars figure. It’s all in how you push the numbers.
President Obama created 8.9 million jobs by the end of December 2016, a 6.2 percent increase. There were 152.3 million people employed at the end of his term. That’s compared to 143.4 million working at the end of the Bush administration.
But that doesn’t give the total picture. The economy lost 8.5 million jobs as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. It kept shedding them until December 2009. Since that low point, Obama created 16 million jobs, a 11.6 percent increase. If measured that way, Obama was the third-largest job creator in terms of numbers.
Obama attacked the Great Recession with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It created jobs through public works. Many of those jobs were in construction. That successfully reduced the unemployment rate. But that meant Obama increased the debt by $8.6 trillion, a 74 percent increase. That drove the debt-to-GDP ratio to 104 percent.
President Reagan added 16.5 million jobs during his eight-year term, a 16.5 percent increase. Reagan was the second-largest job creator both number-wise and percentage-wise. There were 116.1 million people working in December 1988 compared to 99.6 million in December 1980.
Reagan responded to the 1981 recession with Reaganomics. This was expansive fiscal policy based on supply-side economics. Reagan cut the top income tax rate from 70 percent to 28 percent. He also cut the top corporate tax rate from 48 percent to 34 percent.
President Trump created 4.7 million jobs in his first two years. That’s a 3.1 percent increase over the 152.2 million people working at the end of Obama’s term. Trump passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. (Note: That’s 2 years vs Obummer’s 8 years. Not apples vs apples)

The national debt doubled under Barak Obama. It now exceeds our GDP.
"Immigration: Deportations are far lower under the Trump administration compared to the same period during the Obama administration."
Self deportation and fewer entering illegally.
Iran? Has the author been paying attention to current events? The regime tripled oil prices and is killing people in the streets. We don't have to do anything.
I could go on, but there is no point. People who believe in talking points are not prepared or willing to really talk.
Philman, excellent-we need to know these facts
Notice how the author conveniently excludes Obummer’s 1st year where 8 million jobs were lost.
I scanned about a dozen articles on jobs creation, Obama vs Trump. I was amazed st how biased Forbes was against Trump.
Fewer illegal border crossings mean fewer deportations.
