Here’s the latest
The Republican National Committee is following in the footsteps of President Donald Trump and supporting Alabama senatorial candidate Roy Moore, according to an RNC official.
Gee, I wonder why they changed their minds?
And here’s Mitt Romney:
Roy Moore in the US Senate would be a stain on the GOP and on the nation. Leigh Corfman and other victims are courageous heroes. No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity.
It’s too late Mitt.
Meanwhile the President’s press secretary is asked whether Trump thinks Muslims should be banned from Congress, and is unable to answer the question. She doesn’t know the answer. Let that sink in. Too bad they didn’t ask her whether Trump thinks gays should be put in prison; I’d guess she doesn’t know the answer to that question either.
PS. Steve Bannon opposes immigration from Asia because he believes it might change our culture, by which he means white culture, not American culture. (Blacks and Hispanics don’t count to white nationalists). Even before the election we can be pretty sure that a large majority of white Alabamans are going to vote for Bannon’s preferred Senate candidate, a guy who has said that Muslims should not be allowed to serve in Congress and gays should be put in prison. I know quite a few Asian immigrants, indeed each Saturday morning I hang out with about 40 of them. And I can confirm that they do not share the culture of whites living in Alabama. Unlike Bannon, I see that as a good thing. I am happy that Asians keep pouring into the country. I look forward to our culture changing. And there’s nothing Bannon can do to stop it.
PPS. The deficit is about to get much bigger:
The deficit will hit $1.05 trillion in 2019 and $1.1 trillion in 2020, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, if Congress passes the tax cut legislation it’s currently negotiating, along with disaster relief and other measures meant to avert arbitrary limits on spending established several years ago. The tax cuts alone would add about $150 billion to the deficit each year, on average, with other likely changes pushing that up by another $25 billion per year, or so. Deficits will only get larger, unless there are major cutbacks in spending or new taxes in the future.
I can’t wait to see the GOP bring about “major cutbacks in spending”. The deficit was $585 billion in Obama’s last year in office. Recall how the GOP insisted that Obama’s deficits would bring down our economy? Now the deficit is about to explode during a period of economic expansion, when deficits usually fall. Hey, what could go wrong?
