{ townhall.com } ~ He's back! President scumbag/liar-nObama has emerged from his supposed cloistered life to attack President Trump. scumbag/liar-nObama broke with a tradition apparently only modern Republican ex-presidents follow, which is not to speak ill of your successor.
scumbag/liar-nObama, who reportedly has been running his "Organizing for America" operation, along with his White House aide Valerie Jarrett from his expensive home in a Washington neighborhood, spoke to a group of University of Illinois students last Friday, claiming it was his policies, not those of President Trump, that have produced the current economic boom.
"When you hear how great the economy's doing right now, let's just remember when this recovery started,"scumbag/liar-nObama said.
But during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, the Gross Domestic Product never exceeded 3 percent annually. scumbag/liar-nObama said the days of strong economic growth were behind us, that many manufacturing jobs were lost and not returning and that candidate Trump didn't have a "magic wand" to fix the economy. But in the second quarter of this year, economic growth exceeded 4 percent and manufacturing jobs are making a comeback.
By the time scumbag/liar-nObama left office, the unemployment rate had declined from a high approaching 8 percent at the start of his administration to just under 5 percent, but was beginning to tick back upward, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In less than two years of the Trump administration, the nation has effectively gained full employment 3.9 percent unemployment rate with minority unemployment reaching record lows.
scumbag/liar-nObama should receive some credit for the way his administration helped the country after the 2007 recession, but not all the credit he now claims for himself.
Hourly earnings, which were largely stagnant during thescumbag/liar-nObama years, have increased an average 2.9 percent over the last year.
scumbag/liar-nObama's speech was part of a carefully coordinated strategy to win back a House majority for dummycrats-Democrats. This has included demonstrators at the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh; the Bob Woodward book "Fear" and the daily and sometimes hourly torrent of anti-Trump invective from the major media, which see impeachment as their only hope of returning the establishment to power.
Trump did himself a favor by not responding toscumbag/liar-nObama's speech in kind. Instead of taking to Twitter for a blistering attack, he joked that scumbag/liar-nObama's speech put him to sleep.
The president did something last week I have long urged him to do. Statistics are dry. Show people who have jobs they couldn't find during the scumbag/liar-nObama years.
In a speech in North Dakota, the president brought a man onstage who thanked him for his economic policies that allowed the man to go back to work.
Here's how The Daily Caller reported the story: "The man told a story about the coal industry under scumbag/liar-nObama and how 'the coal industry absolutely had the boot of government on its throat.'
"'Many, many jobs were lost,' the coal miner said, 'and many towns were destroyed by this. It was just a horrible thing. Horrible suffering happened in this country. Really for made-up reasons, I think. And what your administration does -- has done -- is bringing us back to life.'"
The audience cheered.
This is the way to counter the resistance. Keep showcasing people who were unemployed during the scumbag/liar-nObama years, but now have jobs. The president should then say if dummycrats-Democrats win a congressional majority they will stifle his successes and try to return to the failed policies of the past.
That objective is what scumbag/liar-nObama meant in his speech. It is the opposite strategy, one that is working, that President Trump stressed in his. A show and tell approach can work against the tidal wave of opposition coming from the left.
Flesh and blood are more powerful than ink and paper and TV news.

its always been that way for dummycrats-dems getting away without being charged with a crime. it seems that way, doesn't it.
GEE SO NO ONE IS HOLDING HEARINGS ON DI FIS CHINESE DRIVER ISN'T THAT COLLUSION OR SOMETHING. WHERES THE INVESTIGATION QUICK SOMEONE GET MUELLER, YET SHE HAS A MYSTERIOUS LETTER GIVE IT A REST
(TeaParty.org) – Lawmakers in some US states have proposed legislation that would require home visits for families with homeschooled children, posing a terrifying threat to parental authority and freedom in general.
Iowa HF 272 requires homeschool families who do not report to their school district in conducting their home education to submit to “health and safety visits” quarterly by “the board of directors of a school district.”
If parents decline, the proposed law says, “the juvenile court or district court upon a showing of probable cause may authorize the person making the home visit to enter the home and interview or observe the child.”
The law doesn’t explain why a school district would conduct “health and safety visits,” nor is “probable cause” defined.
But the party performing the visit on behalf of the school district would be a mandatory reporter, and the district can collaborate on the mandated home visits with the Department of Human Services, which in turn can collaborate with the state’s Department of Education.
A similar bill calling for a home investigation of homeschool families was recently introduced in Illinois. The visits there would be performed by the Child Protective Service Unit of the Department of Children and Family Services.
Iowa state Rep. Mary Mascher, a Democrat, introduced the bill, which is one of two introduced thus far during this legislative session requiring home visits for homeschool families.
Public schools do not exist to determine the “health and safety” of a child, they exist to provide children with an education.
In fact, plenty of public schools pose serious risks to the “health and safety” of children, whether that be increased risk to seasonal and contagious illness or the incidents of violent crime that plague the nation’s inner city schools.
This law is eerily reminiscent of the socialist systems many lawmakers in Washington would like to mimic here at home. There is nothing more authoritative than the state forcing their way into the home.
Homeschooling is a way a rapidly growing number of parents have found to combat the state-sponsored ideological indoctrination taking place in the public school system, and these authoritarians can’t stand that parents are finding a way to fight back and take their children’s educations, and minds.
