Twenty percent tax on Mexican imports

Whether the 20 percent holds or is reduced I like the idea of holding their feet to the fire. For years their oligarchy has been dumping their poor on us rather than improve living standards for those without multiple foreign bank accounts.

Plus it sends exactly the right message to American manufacturers who think they can decamp to Nuevo Leon and pay starvation wages to the peons. Our consumer goods may cost more as a result, and the Mexican oligarchy may find their power threatened from within.

But in conjunction with a real, steel wall sunk to bedrock to prevent tunneling… Way cool.

Investigating voter fraud

It’s a good idea, long overdue, and especially because Hussein and his party minions so often claimed there was no such thing. But of course there is, from Cook County, Illinois’s voting of the dead to help elect JFK to California’s probable 2016 fraud by illegal immigrants who were issued driver’s licenses they could use for i.d. So i.d. is not a panacea. Purple fingers might be.

Scrubbing the voter registration rolls for phonies would be even better.

Voter fraud is very much a Democrat thing and has been since at least Tammany Hall. And Trump will have to face it all over again in 2018, gambling that the fraudsters won’t take back the House or a significant part of it, to block his agenda, and again in 2020 when he’s already indicated he will run for a second term.

So anything he can do to change it will be as good for him as for the country.

For those among our rare readers who think Trump must now put away his Twitter account and start “behaving presidential,” consider this: Tweeting and dumping on the much-despised American news media went a long way to getting him elected. It worked. He isn’t likely to fix it.

Best part of Trump speech

“For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth,” he declared. “Politicians prospered but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.”

To paraphrase President Lincoln: “I like this man. He fights.”

UPDATE:  And another former president, Jefferson: “I hold that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical world.” Just so.

The Audacity of Trump

The Wall Street Journal’s latest poll (in conjunction with the fake news leader NBC) showing Trump’s popularity underwater at just 38 percent is highly suspect. But they have a nice summary of all the things they hope he will be able to do, if he can work with Congress, as Barry Hussein could not.

“The new President will also have to reform a government that too few Americans trust, not least because of its indiscriminate intrusion into ever more of American life. This means fixing public services that people can see, such as an Internal Revenue Service that answers taxpayer questions, a veterans service that doesn’t kill veterans, and health insurance with more choices and lower premiums.”

But mainly they want and I expect most Americans who voted for Trump want a healthier, growing economy that brings more prosperity to more of us instead of just the Wall Street elite who kept Hussein rolling in the campaign dough and likewise took up what slack the Saudis didn’t provide the Hag of Benghazi.

“The White House should scrub every policy choice, first and foremost, against its impact on growth. Mr. Obama put his social and political preoccupations above growth, and the country and his Presidency suffered for it. The opening for Mr. Trump is that by removing Mr. Obama’s barriers to growth, he can unleash the business investment that has been so weak in this expansion.”

Do it, Donald. Keep the midnight Tweets, if you must, but get to work and Make America Great Again. Since you like to work more than you like to play golf, that shouldn’t be too hard for you. Show us what a man of action looks like.

I’m Black Y’all

That, right there, is the sum total of Bronco Bama’s legacy. The same one he had when he was elected in ’08 and again in ’12. And the same one he has in leaving the building. A novelty act for president and little more.

“President Obama is about to shuffle off the stage…as his term finally comes to a close. He has been spending the last weeks of his presidency celebrating himself. This has included giving himself some awards and giving a farewell address that no one bothered to watch. He and his old lady have been popping up on every liberal TV chat show, and sitting with even minor reporters, for farewell interviews. All of which is supposed to be a victory lap, but it feels more like last call at a local dive.”

We could go through here the long list of scandals of his eight years, the ones he denies and his lapdog Democrat news media still is helping him deny, but why bother? Most of his trash will be taken out by the new Trump administration and Obamacare will be excised. He didn’t lend it anything but his name and that was the media’s doing. As the Z Man concludes: Good Riddance.

For now. I’m sure we’ll be hearing Barry Hussein’s prattle for a long time to come. But he’ll be a whole lot easier to ignore.
