Obama Deal Seeks to "Eliminate" Trade Barriers

(REUTERS) In a wide-ranging request for documents and analysis, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team asked the Department of Homeland Security last month to assess all assets available for border wall and barrier construction. The team also asked about the department’s capacity for expanding immigrant detention and about an aerial surveillance program that was scaled back by the Obama administration but remains popular with immigration hardliners. And it asked whether federal ...

Has a miracle taken place or did some Dems wake up and see how Obama is trying to turn our government into something other than a republic?????FYI, this article is from one of the liberal Dems favorite leftwing websites. :)After years of ridiculing the Tea Party movement’s talk of Obama as an autocrat, the left is now pushing those very buttons. That sounds like a garden-variety pitch from a grass-roots constitutional conservative. Except Covington is no Tea Partier. He is an organi ...

are trying to get passed. I wonder if the Dems that are holding out to protect labor are thinking about MTs at all? Because we sit in the US and it is already happening, they might not consider us at risk, but perhaps there might be some loose language in it that could be intepreted in our favor and help us. I don't think it would do much good to call a repubican representative, but a democrat even if it isn't your state, might be interested in adding us and ...

For 30 years, the federal government has helped millions of low-income Americans pay their phone bills, saying that telephone service is critical to summoning medical help, seeking work and, ultimately, climbing out of poverty. Now, the nation’s top communications regulator will propose offering those same people subsidized access to broadband Internet. On Thursday, that regulator, Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, will circulate a plan to his fellow commission ...

No doubt, millions will discard objectivity and project their hopes for the future on the public persona of Hillary Clinton, as it will be carefully constructed by professional political strategists and public relations experts, all funded by the billion dollars plus that the Clinton brand will attract through its fundraising apparatus. Those who are more sober and reflective in their political judgments should consider the following three points I raise as reasons to be wary of a second Clinton ...

I find this hilarious (for want of a better word). It was a twitter that flashed by and I was curious so went to the site.

5/5/14: A federal judge said Thursday she’s inclined to split the difference between Congress and the White House in a lawsuit stemming from President Barack Obama’s decision to shield some Justice Department records from a House probe into the flawed gunrunning investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious. Last year, the Obama administration asked Jackson to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that the dispute was not an appropriate one to be resolved by the courts. She ruled to t ...

In politics, nothing is simple or as it seems. This description of what's going on may be accurate, but it'll be only part of it anyway. From The Economist, 12/20/2012 (not much has changed since then, except we now know no deal was reached in 2012): ...Or will both sides allow the country to sail over the fiscal cliff, with Mr Obama hoping the public continues to blame Republicans for the failure of negotiations, while Mr Boehner hopes that the passage of Plan B allows him to ...

By dropping charges against major arms targets, the administration infuriated Justice Department officials — and undermined its own counterproliferation task forces. When President Barack Obama announced the “one-time gesture” of releasing Iranian-born prisoners who “were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses” last year, his administration presented the move as a modest trade-off for the greater good of the Iran nuclear agreement and Tehran’s pledge to free five Ameri ...

the Obama administration prevented multiple federal agencies from thwarting Iranian-backed terrorist organizations. The Iran deal shields Iranian-backed terrorists from prosecution. As the politics of the deal became more important than national security, the administration suspended a highly effective method of crippling Hezbollah, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations. The resulting disorder helped Hezbollah spread further in the Middle East and into South America. As the politics of t ...

was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn’t be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval. Mr. Obama’s conversations with the Iraqi leaders, confirmed to The Washington Times by his campaign aides, began just two weeks after he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination in June and stirred controversy over ...

Nuclear Terror: "Mind your own business" is the State Department's message to the public on previewing a deal that may let Iran get a nuclear bomb. The Most Transparent Administration In History strikes again. Maybe an Iran nuclear deal really is the ObamaCare of foreign policy, as White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes once quipped to liberal activists. Fox News' Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday asked State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki a very basic question ...

for Afghan Air Force. The Donald Trump Pentagon, in so many words, is saying that the Obama administration’s decision to waive punitive sanctions and buy combat helicopters from Russia was a bad deal. The Pentagon’s first congressionally required report on Afghanistan under President Trump says the Russian Mi-17 chopper has proved a failure in the long war and will be phased out in favor of American-made UH-60 Black Hawks. The Obama administration came to realize the failure in its las ...

If you can buy into that, it is probably useless to discuss education at this point. For one, studying the negatives of a history is, hopefully, a way to prevent them from happening again. We apparently should only teach "American Exceptionalism." When, finally the Republican administrations of the past are being outed for the insurmountable harm they have done in various regions of the world, let's say the MIDDLE EAST, the good people of the U.S. have decided to t ...

The bill will be brought to the voters. Montana Senate is Republican majority. "HELENA, Mont (Reuters) - Over loud objections from Democrats, Montana's Republican-controlled Senate on Friday voted to put proposals on the 2014 ballot that would tighten voter registration and restrict the rights of third parties to compete in general elections. The measures, which are expected to be approved by the Republican-majority House, do not need approval from the Democratic governor. The ...

As if standing idly by while the housing market crashes isn't enough, Romney tells big-buck donors if he had his way, he would eliminate HUD (Romney Sr was Secretary of HUD) all together, another apparent reversal of his previous multi-family/anti-sprawl policies while serving as governor of Massachusetts. Out of sight, out of mind. Maybe he could fund bare-bones cuts to the Department of Education by moving all recipients of students loans to labor camps after graduation.& ...

his audience wasn't reporters, just Obama lovers. This so-called deal does NOT include spending cuts.....and guess what? The raising of taxes on the few will only bring in $80 billion a year------and already he has earmarked to spend $60 billion, so that will only leave $20 billion towards debt and deficit. His audience loved it. When are they going to start doing the math and realize how deep that hole is gettingt? Obama: Deal ‘within sight’ Posted by Rachel Weiner&nb ...

Is India going to be the 'new China'? It sounds like it with all the CEOs wanting to do business there with low labor costs. I'm thinking outsoursing MT work was just the beginning and we can yell all we want about it but our voices will be ignored. Although the headline states 'both sides hope to expand ties', with the low pay in India, how will they ever be able to afford American goods? I think this will turn out to be another one-sided deal, with the U.S. losing agai ...

It will be interesting to see how this affects the US economy--here's a little of what we are looking at: One aim of the free-trade agreement would be to eliminate or reduce tariffs - taxes that apply to imported goods. For both the EU and US average tariffs are already low, below 3% on one measure. But further reductions could nonetheless stimulate additional trade and there are some areas where tariffs are much higher, notably food. Beyond that, the negotiations would try to re ...

Incredible lecture by Tony Martin, Ph.D., Professor of History. Forget the PC mainstream line. This is REAL history, supported by DOCUMENTATION, that has been suppressed. Dr. Martin makes it quite clear that he does not assert that ONLY one particular group was involved. A real eyeopener. ...

Trying to use the World Trade Center as if it were a christian tragedy rather than a human tragedy is wrong. Not only did Christians die that day, but so did a lot of Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and yes, Atheists and Agnostics.No one group has a monopoly on the site, nor on the suffering and pain the event caused. You would think a religion founded on brotherhood, tolerance and inclusion would try to understand that- but once again, American Christians have forgotten Christs message, and ar ...

Obama Deal Seeks to "Eliminate" Trade Barriers

Sounds like Obamacare, sign it first to see what's in it, - this is exactly in line with

"At the same time, producers in Vietnam sold - $30.583,600,000 in goods

What will probably happen in this "trade deal" is that - a few barriers will be removed
