Professor Alain Sanders opines on the President’s speech of last night. Interestingly enough he said exactly what Professor Sanders said yesterday in a Daily Editorial that he should say.

    What base does President Trump actually have?

    Not the whole Republican party, for sure.
    Not many of the Democratic party, despite his adoption and support of many of their issues.
    They seem upset that he has “stolen” democrat issues and are resolutely opposed to anything he may do.
    On the other hand the Republican party contains many swamp creatures it self, who will oppose anything that does not allow them them to benefit from their corruption or goes against their lobbyists.
    Trump knows he needs cooperation between the parties and knows he has little more than the bully pulpit. Good luck. I just don’t even seeing him getting full cooperation from Ryan and McConnell.

      He wasn’t bad with a teleprompter. The problem was the words he read were meaningless. His actions were different.

    Is this the Big Al Effect?

    SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Washington state’s booming wine industry produced a record harvest of wine grapes in 2016 after cooler weather lengthened the growing season, officials said Wednesday.

    Last year’s harvest in Washington, the second-largest producer of premium wines in the U.S., tallied 270,000 tons, beating the state’s previous record of 227,000 tons in 2014, according to the Washington State Wine Commission, which represents licensed wineries and wine grape growers.

    As recently as 2012, the state produced just 188,000 tons of grapes.

    California is by far the nation’s largest wine producer. A preliminary report for 2016 showed that farmers there grew 4 million tons of grapes, up 8.5 percent from the year before but short of a record. California’s final report on the grape crush is due March 10.

    In Washington, the 2016 haul was up 22 percent from 2015. Red varieties outpaced white, totaling 58 percent of the harvest. Cabernet Sauvignon was the top variety.

    Funny it is…
    The deep state is creating havoc, to delay their own demise. The more dirt they dig, the deeper the hole they are digging for them selves. It’s so cool watching them dig their own graves.

    Ive got family in the US. They were pissed at me when I was going for Trump.
    Ive got a 100 reasons. Weather he does a good job or not??? But i said I think he will surprise. He is a necessary evil at this juncture in history. The systems tires are flat. ONLY a guy that is that outspoken can stand up the the exisitiing political regime and totally corupt reporting system. The media in the usa is pathetic and thats an understatement. Trump has already done more then Bama did in a full term. People that dont like him should shut their pie holes as he is now the president. EOS. He actully means business you just have to set his theatricals aside. He is not a guy that likes failing so he just just may get the job done at least to some degree. Even with Hilary cheating she lost and is a absolute corupt political clown and we have an pathetic weiner at the helm in Canada..Maybe we will make weiner water soup for lunch! Yuuuuum

    OOTB, the Democrats are using a disinformatiuon campaign right out of the Soviet playbook!
    In USSR days the Soviets had control of the news via Pravda, Isvestia, TV stations etc. Today MSM is predominantly neo-Democrat leaning, so the Democrats can use the maskarovia (Russian word stemming from masquerade) technique of challenging with distortions of the truth in its questioning. Unbelievable.
    I hope Sessions survives and use his office to put the Clintons in jail for tax fraud.

      Mar 02, 2017 02:54 PM

      Well, he survived today………HE is not stepping down, which is GOOD………..
