Ya know, I hit a limit this morning. I get my social media from Twitter. That’s my news, weather, wrestling, road conditions, gymnastics, cats, deer habitat, farming, MGTOW, and humor source. I just reached a limit. I then purged almost all of my political follows from my Twitter. I kept the president, the whitehouse, an alt Euro News, and Kim Dotcom. I booted everything else. Gotta put my head in the sand for a while. I stay off Facebook and Twitter, I catch a few others, such as the whiny libs on Star Trib. I just look for results, huge GDP number, health insurance is not going up 30% like it was before. It is really one of the best times ever for the economy.

I'm really sick of people who only watch the news or converse with others in hopes that they will finally find a way to impeach Trump. That's all they live for, nothing else matters. They hinge ever minute of every day on the empty cry's of the media saying they have proof of this or that. Trump could get a Nobel prize and make every hard working American rich... and they wouldn't see it in their search to crucify him. Maybe that is TAD. I understand not liking the guy or disagreeing with him, but to look only for hate no matter what is getting old. I think too many libs want not only someone that can run the country.....but someone to be their "spriritual leader". They want all things for everyone from a President. It's not real......and I while I do want someone in the Whitehouse that I can be proud of and be somewhat of a role model.....it's really of secondary (or more) importance. The thing is.....most of the family's today lack a father figure.....a spiritual leader (most dont go to a church)......or a good role model (it's all TV and the inter-webs).....or any kind of a disiplinarian. As a country......We are in a sad state compared to the times when I grew up.

Not true, the country is more devided today than ever. I call that worse. Without question there has been an effort to devide and change the nation from nationalistic (Pro American) to a global non national country. unfortunately there are many countries and individuals that will benefit from the US failing and weakening in influence. Basically all other countries. Consider where Obama was taking the country compared to Regan or JFK. Historically we have been a patriotic country, not so much anymore. Do you consider what happened in Abu Ghraib torture? Is water boarding torture? Compared to what our forefathers went through this stuff was not torture. History is a good teacher and unfortunately our press doesn't care to reflect upon it. One thing is for sure the left will continue promoting their grand experiment no matter how unproven it is.

With all the trade talk going, the economy is going bananas. When he announces that the trade deals have been eliminated, he will be every ones hero. Don't respond to the antigonsist, he is here for no good and there is nothing of value in his posts. If we stop responding maybe he will post something of value.

As a country......We are in a sad state compared to the times when I grew up. I'm very much the same way. I want a President to be well spoken, proud, and thoughtful in his words and actions... I want him to be respectable. I want him to be ex-military or current military (it blows my mind that the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy can have zero job experience before taking the position). Racist remarks, crazy twitter/social media interactions, belittling and the sort, does not fit any of my notions of what a president should be. But I'm not going to ignore actual policies, actions, and economics due to those things. Both sides of the story are real. I just find it more important to fix the economy, fix foreign diplomacy, and get Supreme Court Justices that will uphold the constitution than it is to fixate on the social side of the presidency.

I don't need any stinking Role Model, I am my own role model! A president certainly hasn't been a role model ever that I can remember!

Interesting indicators came out today
Consumer confidence hit an 18 year high, Wage growth was the highest since 2008....it is kind of funny that records seem to always skip 2009-2016.
Markets up, hoping Apple has a nice earnings report for my IRA!

Plus trade deals are being addressed. You should stick to porn stars and Russia, there is a reason that is all the media talks about. Everything else is progressing nicely. Soon you will be down to just porn stars to complain about. Were you okay with Obama ignoring North Korea for 8 years, giving Iran billions in cash, and telling Vlade he will be free to blow him once he doesn’t have to worry about getting re-elected? The hypocrisy on the left always amazes me.

Show me the FACTS on whom and how much wages have increased. Does it include everyone? Do I just believe you because you say so. 1% get a 10% or 90% get 1%?
