Consumer confidence highest in over 5 years

"DDonald Trump’s inauguration ratings were the second-highest in 36 years, according to Nielsen. The swearing-in of the 45th president was seen by 30.6 million viewers across 12 networks. The only inauguration over the last three decades that tops Trump’s number in the linear ratings? Barack Obama’s first inauguration back in 2009, which had a record-setting 37.8 million viewers. So Trump was down from the last new president to take office. But before that, to get an Inau ...

By Paul Bedard Published March 03, 2015 Facebook52 Twitter137 Email Print Career diplomats are finding that they can't advance to top State Department posts such as ambassadorships because President Obama has stuffed political appointees into those jobs, the most ever in his second term. "Yes, it's a problem," said Robert Silverman, president of the American Foreign Service Association. "This is an ongoing struggle. We need to maintain the ability for our top people t ...

The Boston Tea Party in December 1773 threw the East India Company's tea overboard. The Republican Tea Party in August 2011 threw America overboard. Only in Congress, with its rules for minority rule, can a minority of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives impose its havoc on the American people there, then on the Senate side and on Obama Leaving aside the psychiatric question of why a clutch of Republican Tea Partiers, many of them freshmen, terrify the veteran Repu ...

Here's their latest. The link below is to another Consumer Reports 2012 article on junk insurance period, "Junk Insurance: Cheap Plans May Be Worse Than None at All." Thanks to the reds for focusing attention on this terrible practice. If only they'd done it earlier. Like 20 years ago, or even 10. That Florida woman's canceled Blue Cross policy? It's junk insurance. She can get a real plan for only $165 a month Published: October 29, 2013 06:33 PM Photo: ...

Since his fans give him credit for single-handedly producing the stock market numbers, then in all fairness Obama gets the "credit" for this, too. It's happening on his watch. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100427200/Gasoline_at_Highest_Price_Ever_for_This_Time_of_Year ...

http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/06/news/economy/jobs_october/index.htm?postversion=2009110608 And now reading how the government has lied about the number of jobs that were "saved and created." Something truly has to change with our government and that goes for republicans and democrats!! ...

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton failed to complete the highest level of security training mandated by the Department of State for the proper handling of the government’s most secret documents when she entered the department in 2009, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation under the Freedom of Information Act. The State Department released 46 pages of previously unseen documents Tuesday under a Sept. 20, 2016, order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Richard L ...

DT has been repeating over and over again that Obama was not born in this country. Now he suddenly changes his mind, blames the whole idea on HC and Trump supporters simply accept his statement. What does this man have to say to make his fans realize he is the biggest liar in the history of persons running for public office? ...

Why do I find the census an invasion of privacy... Why do I find the census almost non-relevant... First of all, it will take me more than 10 minutes to complete because I have to call them to verify why they say not to include college students when they include as a category under each person if this person resides at college. If I'm not supposed to include them as living here, why would "in college housing" be an option to choose under person number whatever? And makes no se ...

Christian churches continue to thrive, the economy recovers a little or a lot, more people will actually be able to afford health care, no one takes your guns away, maybe taxes go up on rich people, no Sharia law, no foreign wars, gay marriage continues to find support. Not much really changes. ...

For Obama to change the US. As below the BLM is the same as the KKK without the hoods. Oh, wait, they wear scarves over their faces. But they get invited to the White House......the KKK is widely denounced, as they should be, but not the BLM? ...

Anyone have New Year's Eve plans or traditions? I personally find New Year's Eve depressing, especially since the news people love to re-hash the tragedies of the past year. We're staying home tonight and I got some movies to watch. Tomorrow we go to my mother's for the traditional pork and sauerkraut dinner. (I don't know if that's traditional everywhere, but it is in SE Pennsylvania.) ...

saying I was going to take up sewing. In high school home ec class, we had a sewing project and I liked it, but never kept up with it. My mom can sew on buttons, patches, and hem a pair pants by hand in a pinch, but machine sewing was something she never learned. Her mother, my grandmother, was the seamstress in the family. She could make clothes, quilts, you name, she could sew it. However, my mom just never bothered to learn the skill like my aunts did. Any ...

, January 19, 2013 Barack and Michelle Obama have spent more than a thousand days on display before the nation’s eyes, but the personal changes they have undergone can be hard to detect. Up close, though, those who know the Obamas say they can see an accumulation of small shifts in the president and the first lady since they walked the inaugural parade route four years ago. The man who wanted to change the nature of Washington now warns job candidates that it is hard to get any ...

I am finally getting it. If we want to make our world safe and healthy for our kids and future generations, I think we need to make some drastic changes. I personally am going to do all I can to reduce my "energy footprint" by conservation, i.e., CFL/LED lightbulbs, looking into solar, perhaps a dual-fuel car someday. I am also going to try reduce/reuse/recycle more. I am also going to try buy more locally to reduce transportation costs/gas use and support my local area. There is ob ...

I had gum surgery years ago, never again. Total misery for months, like ongoing birth except no drugs to help me out. Told my dentist all the teeth could fall out before that again so that is how strongly I feel about it. Fast forward now, I am reading on line about laser surgery, lesser pain, fast recovery and wanting to know if others had this and if so what was the outcome. ...

There was plenty to dislike in Obama's speech. The language was flat, his delivery languid. The speech was stuffed with standard Obama chestnuts about the smallness of politics, the corrupting influence of money in politics, and how cynicism is our worst enemy. Instead of stirring rhetoric filled with hope and promise, Obama pledged that under his leadership, "our path is harder" and "our road is longer." Seriously? After four years of the worst economic recovery since the Depression, fal ...

Normally in a democracy the government works to expand its citizens' rights. Look what has been going on in the GOP held states: Voter suppression, curtailment of women's rights by banning abortion and closing clinics even though constitutionally a right (at least for now), union busting, replacing duly elected officials with appointed city managers, etc. It is very likely that within the next four years the new president will have the job of replacing up to 4 new sup ...
