[FOXNEWS] Democratic warnings that President Trump would make life worse for minorities were discredited once again Friday, with the release of new unemployment statistics for December. In just under one year in office, the president and the Republican Congress have helped minorities make dramatic gains.
Since taking the reins from President Obama, President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress have embraced free-market and pro-liberty economic policies. Now ‐ after a year of reducing regulations, approving a tax cut, and encouraging stricter standards for numerous welfare programs at the state level ‐ the economy is thriving. Working-age minorities are benefitting in ways they have rarely, if ever, have enjoyed in the modern era.
The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate for African-Americans fell to 6.8 percent in December ‐ the lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1972. That’s an astounding drop from the 8.3 percent black unemployment rate in October 2016, just before Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... was elected president.
Hispanic unemployment was at a near-record low of 4.9 percent in December ‐ down from 5.7 percent the month before the election of President Trump. Additionally, there were four months in 2017 in which the Hispanic seasonal unemployment fell below 5 percent ‐ the only time that has occurred in a single year over the past 44 years.
Asian-Americans, the demographic group that typically has the lowest unemployment rate, enjoyed a 2.5 percent unemployment rate in December ‐ the lowest figure since 2006.
The overall U.S. unemployment rate in December was 4.1 percent, matching the lowest level in 17 years ‐ down from 4.9 percent in October 2016.

If things will continue this way "African - Americans" may regain all the ground they've lost since "affirmative action" was invented.

[LidBlog] The latest obsession of the mainstream media and other leftists is questioning the President’s mental health. Allow me to suggest that If they are correct and the President is mentally unstable it’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, if having a screw loose makes people as successful as Donald Trump was during the past eleven and a half months, we should pray it’s contagious and that everyone in Congress and the federal bureaucracy catches it (and save some of it for me).

'The Forgotten Man'....finally getting a piece of the action. I can see how such an effort could be viewed as insanity by the Deep State and their chattering cohorts.

[Daily Caller] One of Hillary Clinton’s longest-serving, most-trusted political advisers is deeply worried that young voters will see more money in their bank accounts after the GOP tax cuts and therefore consider voting Republican. They really should stay with the Democratic party. There's much more work to be done.
Philippe Reines served as a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton for more than a decade in multiple roles in both her Senate and state department offices. He also advised Clinton in the lead up to her presidential campaign. Reines sat down with Washington interns to give his assessment of the political landscape after the 2016 election. Reines was asked by a young woman about the future of young voters in politics. The Clinton advisor first began by saying he didn’t know "how millennials think" and that it is "unclear what will get them going."
Reines speculated that someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would be good at tapping youth enthusiasm but went on to say he is fearful that Trump and GOP policies will begin to animate millennials, specifically when they see their taxes go down.

Dems need to try and solve problems without somebody else’s money. Since that is not in their DNA their only hope is smoke and mirrors. They should be nervous.

(Millennial): "What!?! Obamacare isn't Free!"
Anecdote: While having my haircut the woman stylist enthused about her European vacation ...and-- how health care is Free in Europe. When I said "It isn't free -- someone has to pay for it" the conversation came to an abrupt halt.

Find a way to allow those with student debt to take a tax deduction against their state taxes and he'd klll the blue model and win the millennials in one swoop. Of course that would have to be done at the State level and the Pubs at the state level in blue states seem to be more or less incompetent (at least in California).
[Ynet] CIA Director Mike Pompeo (pahm-PAY'-oh) gives President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... his regular intelligence briefings, and says Trump is full engaged, understands complex issues and asks difficult questions.
Pompeo tells "Fox News Sunday" that Trump is "completely fit" to be commander in chief and Pompeo says it's "ludicrous" that he's being asked such a question. But the issue has arisen as a result of a new book that's raising just that question.
The CIA chief says those kind of questions are coming from "people who just have not accepted the fact that President Trump is the United States president and I'm sorry for them and that."

Who is better positioned to judge the president's mental confidence? One who meets with him daily on difficult subject matter or his biter political opponents who fixate on texts instead of actions.
