Donald Schwarzentrump, yes Donald Trump.

Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

(ThyBlackMan.com) Although there is a sense that Donald Trump’s unusual and outlandish run for the presidency is the first ever of its kind, this is not entirely true.

Californians, such as myself, remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger captured the governorship of California in 2003, in a campaign remarkably similar to Donald Trump’s. Obviously, governor of California is not the same as president of the United States, but it is the chief executive of the nation’s most populous state.

That year, California’s incumbent Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, was pulled from office in a recall election. It was a time of disillusionment and cynicism toward the governor and government, amidst a poor economy and rising energy prices.

Schwarzenegger had long held political aspirations. He was a wealthy man from his career as a bodybuilding celebrity, film star and businessman. He saw this as his opportunity and ran for the Republican nomination.

He fell back on his movie persona as “The Terminator” to pitch California voters that, despite no political experience, he could go to Sacramento and kick “butts” and get the government in order.

“I know how to sell something,” the political novice justified his candidacy.

“What the people want to hear is … are you tough enough to go in there and provide leadership? That’s what this is about, and I will be tough enough,” the Terminator assured California voters.

Sound familiar?

Once elected, the butt-kicking tough guy discovered the realities of two-party government. When the state legislature pushed back against what he wanted, Schwarzenegger called them “girly men.”

It’s fun entertainment. And campaigns may be like the entertainment business. But once elected, the entertainment is over. Governing is about the nuts and bolts of political reality, professionalism and acumen. Schwarzenegger, entertainer and businessman, was a great campaigner. But once elected, he didn’t know diddly about governing, and he was a disaster. I, and my fellow Californians, watched the muscleman crumble.

The Cato Institute, which issues a bi-annual Fiscal Report Card on America’s governors, grading them A to F on their fiscal performances, awarded Schwarzenegger a D in his final years as California’s governor.

Here’s Cato’s summary of Schwarzenegger’s governorship: “Schwarzenegger has made some reforms to California government, but he will be handing over a giant economic and fiscal mess to the next governor. State unemployment is over 12 percent, the state’s pension system has massive funding gaps, and the state’s bond debt has exploded. According to Moody’s, California’s state debt soared from 2.5 percent of state income when Schwarzenegger came to office in 2003 to 4.4 percent in 2009. The rising debt is a looming threat to state taxpayers, yet California’s personal, corporate, and capital gains tax rates are already some of the highest in the nation.”

As I have written before, political campaigns are job interviews. The job applicant, or candidate, goes before the employer, or voters, and explains why they should hire him or her. Any savvy employer looks for demonstrable evidence that the job applicant is qualified. You look for consistency between what applicants say they can do and what they have actually done.

Political leadership is not like running a business. Business is a dictatorship. In government, even the president is limited in power. You can’t summon those who are not cooperating and say, “You’re fired.”

Worse, Donald Trump’s business record shows he loves to use government power to advance personal interests. His use of eminent domain laws to evict low-income residents in order to build casinos is particularly offensive.

Donald Trump is a world-class marketer. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is doing a great job telling frustrated voters what they want to hear. But even if you agree with what Trump says he wants to do, he has little experience or record that I can see that shows he can achieve any of it once elected.

It’s a good time to remember the warning “caveat emptor.” Buyer beware.

While the bloody war is going on with extreme Islam and the Muslims that turn radical, it’s only Trump who has the guts to speak out and talk about the importation of Syrian Refugees. Both political parties refuse to acknowledgement that the Imperial court of King Obama, his minions and the GOP hierarchy that they already aware the dangerous Jihardists have already infiltrated the mass of refugees and patiently willing to wait for a chance to reach America. The butchers don’t care about living or dying, as long as their agenda is fulfilled and that is world domination.

ONLY DONALD TRUMP CAN MAKE AMERICA WHOLE AGAIN. TRUMP WILL CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON. THE OTHERS EXCEPT FOR TED CRUZ ARE THE PAWNS OF BIG BUSINESS. A PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL NEVER SELL US OUT TO THE WEALTHY.

In the meantime with have massive financial problems at home, with Obama spending $$millions of dollars on his trips around the world, taking his retinue with him. The other growing battle within our country is Obamas lax laws on immigration. Once you read the notification from Stephen Frank’s daily intelligence, http://www.capoliticalreview.com /you will start to get angry and feel that awful sickly, hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Illegal Aliens ELIGIBLE for $10 Billion in Tax Credits—YOUR $$$

As you borrow money or spend too much on your credit card to get through the Christmas Season, your local illegal alien has a banker to help them through the season—YOU. Oh, the more children they have, the more money you lose for your children.
“Illegal immigrants are eligible to claim up to eight refundable tax credits under federal law, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service.
One of the tax credits available to illegal immigrants under the Internal Revenue Code is the additional child tax credit, which allows families with children to reduce their tax liability by $1,000 per child. If the value exceeds the tax liability they owe, the family receives a refund for the difference.
“The Tax Inspector General of Treasury says that the extra child tax credit, in a single year, doles out $4.2 billion a year to illegal aliens,” said David North, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. “Based on that number I would assume that other tax credits for illegal aliens amounts to more than ten billion a year.”
Why hasn’t this stopped? Why do criminals continue to bleed honest Americans, especially our children? Who does Obama represent—who do you think!

Illegal Immigrants Eligible for Up To Eight Refundable Tax Credits
Expert: Tax credits for those here illegally amount to more than $10 billion a year
BY: Ali Meyer, Washington Free Beacon, 12/7/15

Illegal immigrants are eligible to claim up to eight refundable tax credits under federal law, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service.
One of the tax credits available to illegal immigrants under the Internal Revenue Code is the additional child tax credit, which allows families with children to reduce their tax liability by $1,000 per child. If the value exceeds the tax liability they owe, the family receives a refund for the difference.
“The Tax Inspector General of Treasury says that the extra child tax credit, in a single year, doles out $4.2 billion a year to illegal aliens,” said David North, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. “Based on that number I would assume that other tax credits for illegal alien’s amounts to more than ten billion a year.”
In addition, illegal immigrants are eligible for the earned income tax credit, which allows low-income families to receive a refundable tax credit even if they do not owe any taxes.
They are also eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which is a tax credit for tuition, and the Health Coverage Tax Credit, which is a tax credit for insurance costs. Undocumented immigrants can also receive a tax credit for tax withheld on wages, for fuel excise taxes, any overpayment of taxes, and tax withheld at source for nonresident aliens and foreign corporations.
Refundable credits can be larger than an individual’s tax liability, which means that illegal immigrants may receive the difference as a cash payment from the IRS. Nothing in the Internal Revenue Code prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving these tax credits.
“Speaking generally, the Treasury Department is as casual about the negative impacts of illegal aliens as are other parts of the Obama administration, but with a twist,” says North. “Only the Treasury pays illegal aliens to stay largely through the various refundable tax credits.”
“If the IRS were not grinding out billions in refunds to the illegal aliens, some would—without any other pressure—decide to go home,” North said. “And the end to these payments would also meet another goal—more money to pay off the national debt.”
“Congress could do something about this,” said North. “Treasury could do something, but neither has?”

I am NOT going to stop bring to attention the illegal immigration we have; its out-the-window in costs and the fact that neither party will do nothing about it. Donald Trump will! And instead of the Obama administration and his cronies, with the GOP establishment joining in one big expensive budget in pandering to the millions of illegal immigrants/migrants, Trump will cut off all welfare to all those being illegally here, and the dead beats who collect taxpayers money but decline to work.

We should demand the Trump wall that will cut off the undesirables, especially the welfare illegal aliens. We must also demand MANDATED E-Verify, adjoined to biometric exit/entry visas.

If DONALD TRUMP IS CONTINUED TO BE BULLIED BY THE GOP HIERARCHY, HE WILL BECOME AN INDEPENDENT AND MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND OLD VETS IN MY CIRCLE WILL BE JOINING HIM.
