hello america!!! while i am extremely happy that a repub (donald trump) won the white house, i'm also extremely upset that people have taken to the streets to voice their displeasure with the election results in the negative way they are presently going about it & hey, i'll get back to this in a my very next post...
look, trump beat out 17 other repub candidates (regardless of his rhetoric or methods) to put himself in the position he's now in &, know this---he had to fight his own party that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight the dem party that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight most of the media that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight the many groups that organized to do everything they could to stop him///he had to fight all the celebrities that did everything they could to stop him///hell, he even had to fight the pope who spoke against him (BUT, THAT WAS OK WITH YOU THOUGH)///he had to fight all the pollsters that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight obama & the first lady that did everything they could to stop him///finally, he had to fight hillary who did everything she could to stop him---the man (REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY THINK ABOUT HIM) is a winner & now, he has to fight all the organized activist's that are doing all they can to derail him...
look, to me, you have to be a very special kind of stupid not to want:::
lower taxes
school choice &/or vouchers
smaller gov't
more jobs/better jobs
less regulations
better & truly affordable heathcare
better secured borders w/wo the wall
less drugs, gangs & violence within our own borders
equal foreign trade deals
the very best military in the world
foreign countries paying us their fair share
unity as a country of one (with no exceptions)
restoration of the american dream
better care & more choices for our vets
enforced vetting of foreigners entering our country
holding all of our gov't officials accountable (regardless of influence or position)
better support & training for our police forces
securing our social security system for the present & the future
rebuilding our infrastructure
more home ownership
restoring 'greatness' to our country & what our flag truly represents
all political party's working together (with the white house) to do what's good for our country
making the needs of america first over the needs of other countries
i say give trump a chance because the greatest thing about him is, he is not a politician &, more importantly, he will be the first president that's not beholding to lobbyist's & special interests groups...

AM I DEAF OR ARE THEY JUST NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS???
hello america!!! before you even think of commenting, please allow the following to float around in your mind for a minute or so---how are all of these 'street guns' getting into the hands of those who are so willing to use them without any regard to the consequences??? hell, i've often said it's easier for a 12 year old to get a 'street gun' than for a lawful citizen to legally purchase one & hey, that's a very big problem &, before one of you idiots say it, gun control has absolutely nothing to do with it...
for 2016 alone, chicago has had 2,917 people shot of which, 449 have died & far too many of the guns are untraceable, un-recovered &, very few arrests have been made---by the way, chicago has one of the strictest gun control laws in the country but you wouldn't know it by judging all the gun violence...
&, before we proceed, the police were involved in only 17 of the above shootings---killing 6/wounding 11---so yes, we need more idiots like colin kaepernick & other 'famous' celebs; obama & company; the liberal media & organizations like black lives matter to further tell us about this great imbalance between the police & their use of deadly force---especially when it comes to their dealing with people of color---for those of you steeped in stupidity, take 2917 & subtract 17 from it & then tell me where the real problem lies...
america seems to be at war with america & it has nothing to do with race, religion or sex---we are killing one another at an alarming rate & it's even worse in all of our 'down-trodden, poverty-struck, jobless, & lowly educated' communities---just so you know, democrats have been in control for quite some time in many of those same communities &, regardless of badly their policies have hurt people of color, people of color continue to vote them into office---the dems only reach out to people of color when it's election time & then, when they're elected/reelected, the people of color are forgotten---in the meantime, the communities fall farther into neglect, more people are are forced into poverty, more jobs continue to disappear &, the education level lowers as does the graduation rate---it's a vicious cycle & very few (in terms of numbers) are able to climb out of it---the one constant is crime &, moreso, violent crime...
let's keep it real---whenever a cop kills a person of color under questionable circumstances, obama & company are all over the networks & the liberal media go crazy covering it---(if you did the above math you'll understand this)---from obama on down (to include the media) nobody mentions those 2,900 people that the cops were there for if only by just showing up at the scene, however, we all know they did a hell of a lot more than that:::they secure the scene making it safe for our fire departments & ems people to to their jobs &, usually, they render whatever aid they can until the relief shows up---but, what do i know??? we tend to allow ourselves to get caught up by all the distractions that we lose focus on the real problem...
when it comes to people of color & the cops, our biggest problem is among one another & how effortlessly (& willingly) we kill one another---instead of focusing on the WHY IS THAT, we are distracted by cops shooting us (justified or not) & we become incited & tear up or burn down our own crap---that has to be super-intelligence at its highest...
we can argue politics any damn time you want but, when we have numbers like this:::2016 baltimore/200 homicides/144 of them black or, 2016 chicago/497 homicides/380 of them black &, in both city's, it's mostly black-on-black crime & my question resurfaces itself here; how are all the 'street guns' getting to all of those so willing to use them??? for whatever reason, nobody ever questions that & seemingly, nobody investigates it---it's almost like these guns are allowed to magically show up in our communities without ever coming from anywhere---which takes me back in time when 'drugs' were allowed to fester in our communities & weren't a problem until they reached the urban areas of america & then, it became an epidemic...HMMM!!!
we need to work on coming up with solutions to stop all the violence & we'll never accomplish that by making cop killings our focal point---i've been posting about the chicago violence for a long period of time &, just think, none of our politicians even mention it & yet, donald trump mentions it & has provided some insight as to how to deal with it...

for august, we added/gained 151,000 jobs (HERE'S THE GOV'T REPORT) & some of you accept that number as a good thing because obama & company (along with the liberal media) tell you it's a good thing---most of you just refuse to do your own homework & are left in the dark---

JOHN JR---ON POVERTY!!!
POVERTY---obama once told us, 'middle-class is a state of mind' so, i can only wonder what he thinks of those living on or below our federal poverty level which is approximately 12%-15% of our entire population made up with approximately 47 million people of color plus---so, as i refer back to my original request, i have to look at both sides of our political party's & somewhere in between the answers lies the truth of which party has helped better the lives of people of color, however, before i get in to it, i would like you to remember just one never-changing fact; if it doesn't help america, it helps people of color even less---& hey, i never thought i would be able to say a white person could sum it as well as a person of color but, i was wrong---http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/we-blacks-democrats-modern-day-slaves/...
our 2016 financial poverty level is set at---$11,770 for a single person & up to $40,890 for a family of 8 &, good people, that's before any taxes, rent, groceries, utility bills or other bills are paid---for whatever reason, our politicians don't talk about our people living in poverty just like they don't talk about our homeless unless something drastic happens or it's election time---even though all of the numbers fluctuate yearly, they have remained in the same ball-park for years---in fact, with the middle-class shrinking & now struggling, our economy is hurting people of color even more---i'm here to tell you that poverty is directly related to jobs & i'll get back to that in a moment or two...
the poverty rate for black people is 26%-31%---for our male youth (18 & under) it's 38.1%---for our female (18 & under) it's 38.8%---black females with no spouse is 37% &, with children under 18 is 46.1%---black males with no spouse is 23.7% &, with children under 18 is 31.2%---all of these numbers have pretty much remained the same for years which tells me that the programs that people give the democrats credit for aren't helping the people of color a whole hell of a lot PERIOD!!! here's 2 sites for you to examine so you'll know where my numbers came from---http://blackdemographics.com/households/poverty/ which is much like this one---http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/poverty-rate-by-raceethnicity/...no matter how you slice it, black people are hurting a hell of a lot more than our gov't is telling us &, unfortunately, the media doesn't deem our status as 'newsworthy' to cover...
hey, it's really freaking simple, if you're honestly out there every day working to make ends meet & you're still struggling to do it, something is not working & i don't give two craps who tells you that they did something to benefit people of color---yes, there's ss & ssd, food stamps, welfare, medicare, medicaid, housing, day care, food banks, soup kitchens, free clothing, free busing, educational assistance, rent rebates, obama phones, utility assistance &, there are churches & other organizations that can/will help you &, they were all designed to help somebody on a temporary basis until they could get back on their own feet & hey, you're still struggling---somebody's been peeing on you & calling it rain & instead of you questioning them about the taste of it, you added sugar & swallowed it...
now back to that job issue---far too many people of color are on the bottom rung of the ladder of life when it comes to good-paying jobs & it has nothing to do with skin color or laziness---you simply can't be a chef if you can't cook which should tell all of us that if you're not qualified for a job, you probably won't get it & hey, i'm here to tell you that i am against affirmative actions---i don't want anybody giving me crap because i'm black-that's an insult---let me earn it &, if i have to take a second job, sobeit...
most people of color are not qualified for a lot of the good-paying jobs when (& if) they graduate high school &, we can blame that on our sorry education system &, before you hang me, allow me to point out the proof of that seemingly ridiculous statement---i live in allentown pa in the allentown school district & i'm about 2 1/2 blocks from william allen high school & yet, the average allen hs grad has not taken the same classes/material as somebody from parkland hs or central catholic hs & that's because the 'standards' are different---& hey, the dems are all about taking credit for trying to keep our educational system up-to-date but, they have nothing to say about our youth graduating without the knowledge that they should have & unfortunately, the parants don't make a lot of noise so, it's allowed to continue unchecked (just how dumb are we???)---for the most part, poor neighborhood schools graduate 12th graders that are really on a 9th or 10th grade level & they do it with consistency---how in the hell can anybody expect these kids to rise above the poverty level when we allow them to be 'dumbed down' in school??? the education problems & jobs problem are co-related but what do i know---after all, the obama & company have said that they put america back to work which is another example of that 'rain water'...just so you know i don't make this stuff up, the allentown city school district ranks 491 out of the 577 pennsylvania school districts & here's the proof---http://www.schooldigger.com/go/PA/districtrank.aspx...
good people, we need jobs PERIOD!!! obama promised jobs & those 'shovel ready jobs' ended up not being so 'shovel ready'---besides, not a whole hell of a lot of people of color got them nor will they---the unions will see to that because they have invested in our gov't at all levels...
here's two more articles for you to read---http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2014/03/if-democrats-want-appeal-working-class-they-really-need-some-policies-benefit-wor
& he wrote this the following day---http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2014/03/what-have-democrats-ever-done-us
so, while you are so willing (for which i thank you) to tell me what all the democrats have done to better the plight of people of color (& more specifically black people) simply because they pushed a bill through congress & into law, allow me to ask this;;;if black people are suffering as much today as they were were 50, 60 years ago, are you still willing to stand by your comments??? &, before you respond, think of this---if you break your leg & i give you a crutch & that's all i give you, have i really helped you or hurt you???
with all of the success that the democrats get for helping the people of color, why aren't their lives improving???

JOHN JR---SMALL BUSINESSES!!!
SMALL BUSINESSES---there are many ways to look at this issue &, if one is true to the facts, our small businesses have caught & are catching pure hell & that is greatly magnified for businesses owned by people of color---yes, there are programs in place that are supposed to aid the minority business owners but, when you compare their effectiveness to the bankruptcies, downsizing & closings, they're just not working---also, one has to always bear in mind that business competition is extremely fierce &, it's almost impossible to compete with the giants, walmarts, sears & home depots of our country as well as our shopping malls...
while you & others are so quick to credit obama for supporting sba's, etc; please look at how little they actually seem to be accomplishing & hey, i'm not the only black person that feels this way, there's this---
http://www.blackenterprise.com/news/obama-failed-small-business-minority-business-owners/ &, just to show how fair i am, there's this in obamas favor---http://www.blackenterprise.com/small-business/obama-signs-bill-contracts-small-businesse/ which is just like the bill that was signed into law to better aid our veterans & isn't worth the paper it was written on, however, you're free to draw your own conclusions...
well, since we're talking about black-owned businesses, there's this which puts us in last place---http://blackdemographics.com/economics/black-owned-businesses/ & yes, there are many ways to judge that report, however, it must be held all the business losses that seem to be 'not-news-worthy' &, i'm here to tell you that we are fighting a losing battle on that front as well...
here's a site that should give you a better idea of business closings---http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/ & remember, if america suffers, we suffer even more...hell, we lost 200,000 plus businesses between 2008-2010 alone & the banks just aren't into making loans like they once did (thank you dodd/frank---& i'll get to them soon since you brought them up)...
while it's extremely easy to give credit to somebody or a political party for creating a bill that becomes law, it's just as difficult to prove how effective that law is unless it's an instant success or an instant disaster...

JOHN JR---ON EMPLOYMENT!!!
UNEMPLOYMENT/EMPLOYMENT---even though i'm retired, this subject is very dear to me &, i've been following the faulty numbers ever since obama was first elected---also & foremost, people of color unemployment levels (rises & falls) can be attributed to whichever political party is in power & instead of just swallowing what you've been told, please do your own homework & research both sides of the issue...
allow me to say this; the method for calculating our national unemployment rate was changed 1/1/2011 & automatically reduced that rate & those that followed---that said, it would now be unfair to compare bush or any other president's employment/unemployment rate to obamas...
there's this:::all you hear about are the jobs gained/added & everybody paints a rosy picture, however, just the opposite is true &, because i'm such a nice guy & since i like proving myself right, i'll even provide you with the gov't links to support my facts...
when obama & the dems talk about jobs, they're full of crap & think that people won't be able to decipher the truth from their deceptions & lies---&, if you were doing your own homework, you'd know the facts---let's just look at the month of july 2016...our department of labor (dol) says we added/gained 255,000 jobs for that month & our national unemployment rate is a lowly 4.9%---by itself, that looks good &, our 'so-called economic experts' agree---here's their link http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm which is the same one obama & all the dems talk about---i hope you read every word of that report because i'm about to destroy it with this---http://edagener.blogspot.com/2016/08/more-deception.html &, as you can see, i'm very diligent in my research & hey, regardless of who wants to defend what, true math will never lie...plus, obama never took credit for jobs lost during his first 15 months...
look, if america, as a whole, has a jobs problem, that problem is magnified for people of color & hey, we're deep in the doo-doo---while some of us may thrive (&/or at least seem to) the vast majority of us do not---in short, the dems talk about jobs & than go about finding ways to keep us from working---those are facts you may argue with but, nonetheless, they remain facts---when you look at what the dem party is about concerning jobs growth & what they've done, perhaps you'll eventually realize that they are not the party for you or your kind---what's hindering our jobs growth is; obamacare, taxes, regulations, medicaid, disability, robotics, business closures & relocations, uncertainty & unfair trades deals where we import more than we export---these are all areas that obama & company control &, you can't help but see the negative results...
when you tell me that the dems & obama are concerned with jobs for people of color, i'm going to tell that you are full of crap---they are all about CONTROL & please, don't confuse that with what they tell you---obama & company spent his first two years passing obamacare (that will fall apart on its own) & not on putting america back to work & they've blocked every jobs-related bill from the repubs ever since---591,000 people just gave up looking for work in july & walked away from the jobs market...
there is no way that you nor anybody else can convince me that the dems are for people of color when it comes to jobs because their actions belie their words...by the way, just so you'll see the jobs losses for the month of july, scroll down to page 6 of this gov't report---https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf & know that our real rate is a hell of lot higher than that of any other race...

JOHN JR---ON HOUSING!!!
HOUSING---the federal housing authority (fha) which is also known as housing & urban development (hud) was created by congress in 1934 because of the 'great depression' & was not originally intended for people of color who were still fighting for their rights---it was designed for white people that were losing their homes in record numbers, PERIOD---it has since evolved to where it is supposed to be more inclusive for all people &, that only came about because of our supreme court...to this day there is a great disparity between white & black home ownership that has nothing to do with financial income...while we may attribute 'housing improvement for all' to a certain political party &/or president, the fact remains that the democrat party was still adamant in their refusal to grant people of color the same rights as whites & that continued long after supreme court rulings against their actions...there are far too many articles (for & against) to post concerning this subject, however, i like this one---http://academic.udayton.edu/race/04needs/housing05.htm
when i look at the 2007/2008 housing market collapse, i can't help but feel for the people of color who were negatively impacted by it because for many, they lost everything & yes, i can actually point to the guilty party that could have prevented it---hell, i can even name them, however, i'll let you read them for yourselves here---https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081009-10.html... by the way, that's the same dodd & franks that wrote the dodd/franks bill after all the crap hit the fan...for those of you that like videos, there this---https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKPFzOFYMg &, to further my point, hillary clinton was a seated senator & on the senate budget committee 2001-2002 & had to have seen bush's fy02 budget plans/requests &, as you now know, then senator obama took no action to ward off the collapse...& yes, we could go all the way back to the glass/steagall act & the weakening of it by bill clinton but, i think i've made my point, however, some of you will still call me a hater so, watch this video of the democrats trying to defend their actions &, i want you to know that had they of heeded bush's warnings, our housing market collapse may never have occurred...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcCs1yGO6aA...bear in mind that the dems were strongly connected with fannie & freddie & still are (do your own homework) & no, this post isn't about trying to absolve the repubs from any fault---it's about who has honestly been trying to help people of color with home ownership...
we can go back & forth on this issue all day, however, as it now stands, home ownership for blacks is at best, sad & there's a plethora of reasons for that---let's just sum it up to this; if the national rate of home ownership rises or lowers, that rate is directly related to the rise & fall of home ownership for people of color &, while there are other articles & stats to examine, there's this---http://blackdemographics.com/households/housing/ &, when you realize that home ownership has fallen all across our great country, you'll also have to realize that it's fallen even more for people of color---& yes, i could provide other links but perhaps you'll settle for this one---http://www.businessinsider.com/homeownership-rate-is-at-multi-decades-low-but-may-be-bottoming-2016-7...
while the dems do a great job of selling their ideas of home ownership to help the plight of people of color, i have to judge them by all of their actions & hey, they're not nearly as good as you would have me believe...
