Why is the Muslim Ban only in Muslim Countries that don’t Have Trump Properties?

by

The attack near the Louvre Museum was done by an Egyptian national.[1]

The New York Times, “An Egyptian Interior Ministry official confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday that the Louvre attacker was a 28-year-old Egyptian-born man named Abdullah Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy.”[1]

Nothing Trump did would have prevented this.  Perhaps it even encouraged it.  Even Turkey is not on his list.  Read Trumps full disclosure report.

The Daily Pole, “Egypt is currently one of the most dangerous  country to travel, because of high possibility of terrorist attacks, and yet Donald Trump mysteriously omitted this country from his ban list. According to UK Foreign Ministry, traveling there is not advised, because it is too dangerous…”[2]

The properties which Trump owns or is part owner of are Trump Marks Egypt Corp and Trump Marks Egypt LLC. [2][3]

NPR, “President Donald Trump’s refugee ban in the Middle East could be one of the first conflicts of interest for the president, as his bans avoided nations that he has business ties in.”[3]

Repealing Obamacare Would Cost Jobs In Every State

by Leave a Comment

The bipartisan research organization, Economic Policy Institute, just released their current report.

Economic Policy Institute, “The Republican-led effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes two large fiscal changes: a tax cut and a spending cut.1 Because the U.S. economy still has some productive slack, these significant fiscal changes will affect the pace of economic growth. Essentially, this productive slack is caused by households, businesses, and governments that are still spending less than what the economy could produce if all resources (including workers) were fully employed. This shortfall in spending (or aggregate demand) is hence the current binding constraint on the economy’s growth rate. In this environment, the sudden withdrawal of spending from the economy from ACA repeal would add job loss to the loss of health and financial security for tens of millions of Americans.”[1]

This is Jeff Sessions from several years ago asking very pointed questions during Sally Yate’s confirmation. Listen carefully what he said then and what he says today.

Rachael Madow via MSNBC Youtube.com, “Rachel Maddow reports that Donald Trump has fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, a hold-over from the Obama administration while Trump’s nominee awaits confirmation, after Yates ordered DoJ lawyers not to defend Trump’s travel ban. “

MSNBC via Youtube, “Top Talkers: President Trump fired Sally Q. Yates, the acting attorney general, Monday after she refused to defend his executive order on refugees. The panel discusses.”[2]

Dear Mr. President [Barack Obama]

by Leave a Comment

Thank goodness President Barack Obama had the courage to recognize equality within our military.  That you for the changes you made.

A quote from within an article from The New York Times Magazine,

“Dear Mr. President,

(Because the person I love can be dishonorably discharged for loving me back, even though he is honorably serving his country right now in Iraq, I have to send this letter anonymously. It pains me to have to do so.)

[ … ] My partner is currently serving in Iraq, and is in a situation where he is under fire on a daily basis. He’s a good soldier, and our country needs him to continue doing the excellent job that he has been recognized for.

The day he deployed, I dropped him off far from his base’s main gate, and he walked alone in the dark and the rain to report for duty. Where the rest of his buddies were surrounded by spouses and children at mobilization ceremonies, he stood by himself.

The phone trees don’t have my name on them, and base support services don’t apply — even though we’ve been together for 16 years and are raising a beautiful child together. Our communication is self-censored, and we are cruelly unable to nurture each other at the exact moment we both need it the most.

If something were to happen to him, no one from his unit will call me. If, like so many good soldiers before him, he gives that last full measure of devotion, no one will come knock on my door. No one will present me with a flag. It is, and would be, as if the most important thing in his life — his family — never existed. [ … ]” [1]

Trump’s Immigration Stance May Behind the Canadian Mosque Shootings

by Leave a Comment

Trump supporters are increasingly causing tension between certain Trump supporters and our muslim neighbors.[1]

The New York Times, “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard both characterized the attack as a terrorist act, which came amid heightened tensions worldwide over President Donald Trump’s travel ban on several Muslim countries.”[1]

CBS News, “Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed his sorrow for the victims of a mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, calling it a “terrorist attack on Muslims.” At least six people were killed in the attack, and two suspects have been taken into custody. “Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear,” Trudeau said.”[2]
