The theory goes that Trump is … Continue reading Donald Trump has ‘dangerous mental illness’, say psychiatry experts at Yale conference →

A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Eye-opening lines in James Comey’s ‘A Higher Loyalty,’ This President is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values. His leadership is transactional, ego driven and about personal loyalty.

Impact of Donald Trump on United States economy.

Trump boast the economy of United States.

The S&P 500 index of the leading 500 American companies is up around 22 per cent over that time.

That equates to an increase in value of around $4 trillion.

Since DONALD TRUMP won the vote, the US economy has added an average of 167,000 new jobs each month and the unemployment rate has dipped to just 4.1 per cent.

Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum (which bills itself as a “center-right think tank”), says President Trump put an end to rising regulatory costs. He pegged those costs at $890 billion over the eight years of the previous administration. Holtz-Eakin said that could help boost business confidence and, in turn, investment spending.

Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi says it’s too early to conclude either way about the Trump effect. He says the economy was “doing fine” before he took office and hasn’t changed much.

President Trump has real chance to boast the GDP of US. But by reducing regulation on Wall Street by giving free hand to Wall Street it might be risky. .

Surprising facts about stress level in America. Top Stress Creator For Americans, Survey Finds

Almost two-thirds of Americans, or 63 percent, report being stressed about the future of the nation, according to the American Psychological Association’s Eleventh Stress in America survey, conducted in August and released on Wednesday.  This worry about the fate of the union tops longstanding stress such as money (62 percent) and work (61 percent) and also cuts across political proclivities. However, a significantly larger proportion of Democrats (73 percent) reported feeling stress than independents (59 percent) and Republicans (56 percent).

A rolling art installation commenting on the state of politics in America sits on the road in Manhattan on Nov. 2, 2016, in New York City. With the US presidential election only days away, many Americans are feeling anxious over both the tone and the direction of the campaign for the presidency. The race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has been tightening in crucial swing states as of Nov. 8 approaches. (Agence France -Presse/Spencer Platt/Getty Images).

59% of Americans believe this is the lowest point in the nation that can be remembered.The Stress in America survey was conducted by the Harris Poll on behalf of the APA. It was conducted online between Aug. Aug. Had participants, all ages up living in the US. It included men, women, whites, Hispanics, blacks, Asians and Native Americans. Data were then weighted by age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, education and household income to reflect America’s demographics accurately. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish.

A WIDER GENDER GAP

Though one in four men (25 percent) feel stress related to hate crimes, wars and conflicts with other countries, and terrorist attacks in the United States, women are significantly more likely to report experiencing stress related to these issues. Women say that hate crimes (37 percent), wars and conflicts with other countries (36 percent), and terrorist attacks in the United States (35 percent) cause them stress when thinking about our nation.

A RACIAL STRESS DIVIDE

In the 2016 survey, Black adults and Hispanic adults reported decreased stress levels from the previous year, with Hispanic adults experiencing a particularly large drop
in their stress levels (5.9 in 2015 to 5.0 in 2016, on a scale of 1 to 10). But in  2017 survey tells a totally different story:-  Hispanic adults experienced an average stress level of 5.2 and Black adults’ overall stress level changed from 4.7 in 2016 to 5.0 in 2017. The stress level for White adults remained the same as in 2016 (4.7).

CHANGING METHODS OF STRESS MANAGEMENT
An Exercise in Coping with Stress As they experience more symptoms of stress,  One unhealthy coping mechanism — smoking — is reported by 14 percent, However, others are taking healthier actions to deal with stress. More than 53 percent exercise or take part in physical activity to cope with stress, a significant increase compared to each of the past three years. One coping method is on the rise, with 12 percent of people using yoga or meditation to manage their stress (compared with 9 percent in 2016), the highest percentage since the survey first asked about these activities in 2008.

New York attack: Eight killed by man driving truck

At least eight people have been killed and 11 injured in New York after the driver of a truck mowed down people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan.

Here are the few facts about the attack-

The vehicle then hit a school bus, injuring two adults and two children on board, and came to a halt.

The driver emerged holding what appeared to be two handguns and made a statement “consistent with a terror attack”

He was shot in the abdomen by a police officer stationed near the scene. NYPD has given response immediately to the attack & it’s also appreciated for that they have saved additional life .

Mr Trump sent out two tweets, saying:

“In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!”

“We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough!”

Here the picture from the scene of attack

The attack is also condemned by New York Mayor-

As the people life is matter the most. Sick people doing this again & again needed to stop. It’s much easier to write an article or tweet about it. Ask to the families of 8 people died. It’s is sad & god gave peace to them..

I’m a big fan of the rule of law. James Comey.

On Wednesday, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Ryabkov, said during Parliament hearings that “28 percent of all attacks on Russian cyber infrastructure were carried out from US territory,” while the amount of hacking attempts from Russian territory against the US reaches only 2 or 3 percent.
Moscow registers daily cyberattacks emanating from the territory of the United States, but does not make ludicrous accusations that it is orchestrated by the White House or US intelligence agencies, Kremlin press-secretary Dmitry Peskov has said.

But on other hand The BfV said the “cyber-attacks carried out by Russian secret services are part of multi-year international operations that are aimed at obtaining strategic information. Some of these operations can be traced back as far as seven to 11 years.”

Group of hackers name Sandworm  who deploy the malware known as Black Energy and KillDisk through phishing emails. They also aimed at telecommunications companies, energy providers as well as higher education facilities”.

Cyberattacks in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, France and Austria that investigators attributed to suspected Russian hackers appeared aimed at influencing election results, sowing discord and undermining faith in public institutions that included government agencies, the media and elected officials. A declassified intelligence report on the Russian hacking released  accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of ordering the effort to help elect Trump. It warned that Russia would use lessons learned from the effort to disrupt elections of U.S. allies. Sources USA today .

But discord or undermine public faith in democracy of US is not only aim of Russia.

Point is why RUSSIAN thinks if DONALD TRUMP becomes president it would be in best interest of RUSSIA.
BURR: Do you have any doubt that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 elections?

COMEY: None.

BURR: Do you have any doubt that the Russian government was behind the intrusions in the D triple C systems and the subsequent leaks of that information?

COMEY: No, no doubt.

BURR: Do you have any doubt the Russian government was behind the cyber intrusion in the state voter files?

COMEY: No.

BURR: Okay. When did you become aware of the cyber intrusion?

COMEY: The first cyber — there was all kinds of cyber intrusions going on all the time. The first Russian-connected cyber intrusion I became aware of in the late summer of 2015.

BURR: And in that time frame, there were more than the DNC and the D triple C that were targets?

COMEY: Correct, a massive effort to target government and nongovernmental, near governmental agencies like nonprofits.

BURR: What would be the estimate of how many entities out there the Russians specifically targeted in that time frame?

COMEY: It’s hundreds. I suppose it could be more than 1,000, but it’s at least hundreds.

BURR: When did you become aware that data had been exfiltrated?

COMEY: I’m not sure exactly. I think either late ’15 or early ’16.

BURR: And did you, the director of the FBI, have conversations with the last administration about the risk that this posed?

COMEY: Yes.

BURR: And share with us, if you will, what actions they took.

COMEY: Well, the FBI had already undertaken an effort to notify all the victims, and that’s what we consider the entities attacked as part of this massive spear-phishing campaign so we notified them in an effort to disrupt what might be ongoing, and then there was a series of continuing interactions with entities through the rest of ’15 into ’16, and then throughout ’16, the administration was trying to decide how to respond to the intrusion activity that it saw.

FEINSTEIN: Do you believe the Russia investigation played a role?

COMEY: In why I was fired?

FEINSTEIN: Yes.

COMEY: Yes. I’ve seen the president say so.

HEINRICH: That is a hostile act by the Russian government against this country?

COMEY: Yes, sir.

MANCHIN: Did he ever ask you any questions concerning this?

COMEY: Well, there was an initial briefing of our findings. And I think there was conversation there I don’t remember exactly where he asked what I found and what our sources were and what our confidence level was. The reason this is such a big deal. We have this big messy wonderful country where we fight with each other all the time. But nobody tells us what to think, what to fight about, what to vote for except other Americans. And that’s wonderful and often painful. But we’re talking about a foreign government that using technical intrusion, lots of other methods tried to shape the way we think, we vote, we act. That is a big deal. And people need to recognize it. It’s not about Republicans or Democrats. They’re coming after America, which I hope we all love equally. They want to undermine our credibility in the face the world. They think that this great experiment of ours is a threat to them. So they’re going to try to run it down and dirty it up as much as possible. That’s what this is about and they will be back. Because we remain — as difficult as we can be with each other, we remain that shining city on the hill. And they don’t like it.
HARRIS: Did he shrug?

COMEY: I don’t remember clearly. I think the reason I have that impression is I have some recollection of almost imperceptible like what am I going to do. But I don’t have a clear recollection of that of that. He didn’t say anything.

James Comey though about America’s cyber security, about Russia –

We face cyber threats from state-sponsored hackers, hackers for hire, global cyber syndicates, and terrorists. They seek our state secrets, our trade secrets, our technology, and our ideas – things of incredible value to all of us. They seek to strike our critical infrastructure and to harm our economy.

Make America WHITE again. Donald Trump is white supremacist.

The worst thing that ever happened to the world was the white man coming across gun powder. –– the end of the world | the beginning of white supremacy — Nayyirah Waheed, Salt. 

These few lines adopted from Former President Barack Obama-After a century of trying, we declared that health care in America is not a privilege for a few, but a right for everybody. After decades of talk, we finally began to wean ourselves off foreign oil, and doubled our production of clean energy.

I believe in right politics. I m in favour of right person. I believe in nationalism. I believe nationalism should surpass religion beliefs and unite all people. Nationalism should be colour blind and atheist. 

I feel bad trump is giving flame to white supremacy. I believe trump is good for business, good for economy. But bad for multiculturalism, bad for free speech, bad for climate, bad for foreign policy, bad for diplomacy and many more.  Like Trump ends the Obamacare . People in USA think that they have more chances to dies because lack of access to affordable healthcare facilities, rather than in attack by ISLAMIC STATE. Trump said creating millions of JOBS , but there is no action is taken for creating jobs. But Donald Trump is not focusing on America. He is indulge in his own mess , Trump Russian investigation, James Comey fired .  Trump also has lowest approval ever in the history. 

Trump merely degraded US media as FAKE NEWS.  Trump supports are blind . They believes in every word that trump said. Trump say NATO is not paying well, they believe in that. But they forget that in Iraq war all members of NATO contributed . They have agreement that if attack happens on any one country and that country is member of NATO it will presumed that it attack os on NATO. There is an article written on Donald Trump lies — All 294 false things Donald Trump has said as president . You can also sort because list is very long. 

 World  believe that trump presidency has inspired a new era of violence on the religious right especially western civilization mean Christian belief followers. Religious extremists are feeling empowered by president trump. If this white supremacy or we can say Christianity coming out of shadow under trump presidency regime. Many people including republicans can predict a future civil war in United States of America .

As trump saying- MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Actually he means that –

 Whites saying ‘make America white again’ is like millionaires saying ‘make the wealthy rich again. –DaShanne Stokes

That’s the reason #Donaldtrump becomes president of United States of America. It’s a country of immigrants. Even Donald trump ancestors are migrant. They come from Germany. 

People believe in white supremacy or white pride there ideology is based on pseudoscience mean there claims are unprovable & these people lacks openness . Pseudoscience often considered as pejorative (term of abuse). 
In his book The Demon-Haunted World Carl Sagan discusses the government of China and the Chinese Communist Party’s concern about Western pseudoscience developments and certain ancient Chinese practices in China. He sees pseudoscience occurring in the USA as part of a worldwide trend and suggests its causes, dangers, diagnosis and treatment may be universal.

St Paul complained (Ephesians vi, 12) about wickedness in high places, he was referring not to government corruption, but to demons (Donald trump), who lived in high places: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

In an editorial about Native Americans in 1890, author L. Frank Baum wrote: “The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians.”

Many U.S. states banned interracial marriage through anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, when these laws were invalidated by the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision in Loving v. Virginia.

The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don’t like that statement, but few can argue with it.

White supremacy most similar movements such as neo-Nazism, white supremacists typically oppose people of color and Jews. 

But I see there is not much racism for Jewish people. In US people have more hate for brown skin especially Muslims . It’s a Supreme Court who saves  real values of America . 
It’s really bad  7043 people died. Not because of terrorism. 

Only thing I feel, only thing I want to say others – BE A NICE HUMAN

“Donald Trump is destroying his own presidency”

Trump has no one to blame for his endangered presidency but himself.

Trump during campaign appears disciplined & strategic. Those hopes dashed by the lawless, reckless way he has responded to ongoing inquiries against him.Investigation of Trump campaign’s ties to Russia is serious, and becoming more so. 

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. He moves like he is always being observed. All human beings are, by their very nature, social actors, then Donald Trump seems to be more so superhuman, in this numero uno sense. 

Washington Republicans never liked or trusted Trump. A large number of generals, especially those in the centrist establishment, have criticized Trump as too friendly to Russia, unpredictable with nuclear weapons, and insufficiently attuned to the importance of America’s strategic allies, among other things. 

Colin Powell reportedly told the Long Island Association Tuesday afternoon that he is supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race.

Colin Powell (A liberal Republican, Powell is well known for his willingness to support liberal or centrist causes) said Donald Trump  “has no sense of shame,” and is “a national disgrace” and “international pariah.” He said that “the whole birther movement was racist” and complained that the media was providing Trump with oxygen to fuel his campaign. He cracked jokes about Trump’s poor standing with women voters.

Powell endorsed Clinton on October 25, 2016, stating it was “because I think she’s qualified, and the other gentleman is not qualified. 

Barbara Bush: NAY

Unlike her husband and elder son, the former first lady has publicly disavowed Trump. “I mean, unbelievable. I don’t know how women can vote for someone who said what he said about Megyn Kelly, it’s terrible,” she told CBS in February. “And we knew what he meant too.” (February 4, 2016)

Bobby Jindal: YEA
The former Louisiana governor, who during his own presidential campaign called Trump a “narcissist” and an “egomaniacal madman,” wrote in a Wall Street Journal column that he’s voting for Trump, “warts and all.” “I think electing Donald Trump would be the second-worst thing we could do this November, better only than electing Hillary Clinton to serve as the third term for the Obama administration’s radical policies,” he said. (May 9, 2016)

Norm Coleman: NAY

The former Minnesota senator wrote in a March 3 column that he will not support the Republican nominee. “I won’t vote for Donald Trump because of who he isn’t. He isn’t a Republican. He isn’t a conservative. He isn’t a truth teller…. I also won’t vote for Donald Trump because of who he is. A bigot. A misogynist. A fraud. A bully.” (July 7, 2016)

Mel Martinez: NAY

The former RNC chair and Florida senator says he won’t vote for Trump. “I would not vote for Trump, clearly,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “If there is any, any, any other choice, a living, breathing person with a pulse, I would be there.” (February 29, 2016)

Ken Mehlman: NAY

The former RNC chair wrote on Facebook that he was #NeverTrump. (May 12, 2016)

Trump is almost untouchable with Congressional Republicans’ support. so long as he passes their agenda and controls his behavior enough not to endanger them or the country.

How Donald Trump endangered his own presidency ??Investigations — and scandal — have swirled around Trump since the start of his administration, but congressional Republicans found it reasonably easy to ignore them. But trump reckless & impulsive respond to the investigation begin by James comey. 

• First, Trump asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn. “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” he Also said to comey to make public statement that Donald trump is not under any investigation. But comey refuses both request.

• Then Trump fired Comey over the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia. 

• In a meeting with Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, and the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, Trump bragged, “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” Notes from that meeting were subsequently leaked to the New York Times, and press secretary Sean Spicer confirmed the account. 

• Back in Washington, when Mr. Lavrov was asked if he was relieved that Mr. Comey had been fired, given that the F.B.I. director was pursuing accusations of Russian efforts to influence an American election, the foreign minister laughed.

“I never thought I’d have to answer such questions, all the more in the United States of America, with your greatly developed democratic and political system,” he said, a tinge of sarcasm in his voice.

• As Russian officials under US surveillance, Trump reacted with fury, and accused the Obama administration of wiretapping Trump Towers. There was no evidence for Trump’s claims. 

• Trump, has stayed in communication with Flynn, telling him to “stay strong” as recently as April. It almost goes without communicating with an adviser who is under investigation. 

Former Trump adviser Carter Page says the congressional committees investigating potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign are railroading his reputation, and are ignoring his complaints about the FISA warrant obtained to surveil him.

Obama v/s trump – promises fulfilled in first 100 days 

Obama made a vastly larger number of promises for his first 100 days. According to an April 2009 review of his first hundred days from PolitiFact, Obama made more than 500 promises, kept 27 of them, had another 63 “solidly in the works,” and explicitly broke six of them. Of course, if Obama made 500 promises and clearly kept or “solidly” worked on 90 of them, that’s a lot more than six unfulfilled promises at the 100-days mark. 

The Chicago Tribune went beyond Trump’s campaign “contract” to compile a list of 38 promises for the first 100 days, ruling that he has fulfilled only ten of them. Sure enough, this critique gives Trump no credit for the items he is still working on, even when it is clear his efforts are serious.

Approval ratings: There is no question Obama had much higher approval ratings at the 100-day mark. Trump polls at 39 to 44 percent approval as he approaches the 100-day mark, with a RealClearPolitics polling average of 42 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove. As the media are quick to point out, this is the lowest approval rating of any president ever polled at the 100-days threshold. By contrast, President Obama had approval ratings of around 65 percent at the 100 day-point. 
Page also told the Washington Examiner that it makes no sense that he hasn’t testified yet before either the House or Senate Intelligence Committees.

“It is unfathomable that [former FBI Director James] Comey got his third chance in as many months to testify about the senseless witch hunt that he led on behalf of the Clinton campaign and Obama administration, but I have been completely blocked from testifying before either of the congressional intelligence committees and providing the accurate story about what actually happened last year,” Page told the Washington Examiner.

He has reminded Republicans what they feared a Trump presidency would be like — unconstitutional, unfocused, scandal-plagued, and damaging to both America’s standing in the world and the GOP’s brand at home.

Republicans may soon lose a generation of voters through a combination of the sheer incompetence of Trump and a party rank and file with no ability to control its leader,” warned conservative radio host Erick Erickson.

Sen. John McCain warned that President Trump’s mounting scandals were “reaching Watergate size and scale.” That same night, Carlos Curbelo, a Congress member from Florida, became the first congressional Republican to use the i-word. “Obstruction in the case of Nixon and in the case of Clinton in the late ’90s has been considered an impeachable offense,” he said. Rep. Justin Amash quickly backed him up. Asked whether James Comey’s memo would, if verified, be grounds for impeachment, Amash said it would.
