BloggeRhythms

Yesterday’s posting predicated on the differences between the left and their support from the MSM in continually attacking the POTUS, compared to the administration's focus on keeping its promises regarding the issues of most importance to those who voted it into office.

And now, today, additional proofs illustrate that while the administration's promise fulfillment continues, one of the left’s most prominent accusations is not only proving to be vulnerable, it may very well backfire against themselves as the culprits.          

John Crudele, @nypost.com, wrote on Monday: “The investigation of Russian interference in the US election could turn into a big headache for the Democrats. The phrase “Be careful what you ask for” comes to mind.”

Mr. Crudele was one of very few who believed Democrats were “making a big mistake by picking Hillary Clinton as their candidate” and correctly predicted that she would lose.

“The Democrats didn’t listen, and now their party is in shambles. They aren’t going to listen to me now either about the unintended consequences of an investigation of the Russians, but I’m going to explain anyway,” he wrote.

Mr. Crudele next explains that one of the reasons he predicted a Clinton loss was that “the Russians had hacked her emails — along with those of some other Democratic Party higher-ups.” 

From there, referring to a “very reliable source,” Mr. Crudele claims the Russians did it through a proxy while “simultaneously the National Security Agency had hacked the Russians while the Russians were hacking Hillary.” 

“So everything the Russians have, the NSA also has. And, as I said back then, the NSA offered those hacked emails — including Hillary’s — to the FBI, which declined the offer. 

“Everyone now agrees with me that the Russians did indeed hack Hillary. In fact, Clinton herself treated this as a fait accompli — something that had actually happened — when she started to address what was in those emails. She said the 30,000 or so messages were mostly discussions about yoga and daughter Chelsea’s wedding. 

“That, of course, is absurd.” 

All of which led Mr.Crudele to reach the critically important conclusion that: “Any investigation of the Russian hacking is liable to result in Hillary’s emails being read, and perhaps released. 

“Imagine how quickly attention will shift if we suddenly have Hillary ’s emails about Obama, Bill Clinton, donations to the Clinton Foundation and many other topics.”

While Mr. Crudele’s article reinforces the practical reality that the left is grasping at theoretical straws trying to vilify a despised rival, that rival continues to deliver hard evidence that he intends to rebuild the nation’s economy as promised. Making the left’s witch-hunt all the more difficult, if not impossible.      

According to David Martosko, US Political Editor @dailymail.co.uk today: “U.S. companies added a whopping 298,000 new jobs in February, beating economists' expectations by more than 100,000.”

ADP, a global human resources and payroll firm, reports that important sectors were involved as: “Construction jobs increased by 66,000 in February, and the manufacturing sector added 32,000.” 

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, told CNBC that: ”Confidence is playing a large role. Businesses are anticipating a lot of good stuff – tax cuts, less regulation. They are hiring more aggressively.” 

And then, another major plus was gained by Trump that simultaneously embarrasses several retail giants who involved themselves in politically motivated actions against him and his family.   

Judy Kurtz reports @thehill.com, that: “Ivanka Trump’s eponymous women’s fashion line is reporting record sales figures despite calls for a boycott and controversies surrounding President Trump.

“Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand,” Abigail Klem, the president of the Ivanka Trump fashion brand, tells Refinery29 in an interview published Tuesday. “For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever.” 

Retailer Nordstrom announced in early February that it would no longer carry the line citing poor product sales. “The move caused President Trump to tweet shortly after the announcement that his daughter was being “treated so unfairly” by the luxury department store giant.” 

Then last month, Neiman Marcus stopped too, while “employees of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores were instructed to throw away any signage advertising her wares.” 

Additionally: “The Office of Government Ethics recommended disciplinary action against White House adviser Kellyanne Conway after she urged viewers to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff” during a February interview on “Fox & Friends.” 

Yet, despite the negativity displayed against the POTUS and those around him: “According to the e-commerce aggregator Lyst, from January to February, Ivanka Trump sales increased 346 percent, Refinery29 writes.”

At the present time, 29,776 readers have “shared” the article which portends the distinct possibility of even larger sales increases in the days ahead. All of which goes to illustrate Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus , T.J. Maxx and Marshalls as perhaps formerly superior retailers but flat-out ignoramus’ as political theorist's. 

And finally, Timothy W. Martin reports @wsj.com about another real-world endorsement of Trump’s economic platform whereas: “Samsung Electronics Co. is planning a major investment to expand its U.S. production facilities, according to people familiar with the matter, with at least five states in discussions. 

With an initial capital investment expected to be around $300 million as Samsung shifts some production of oven ranges to the U.S. from Mexico, “the move could generate around 500 jobs.”

“In subsequent years, Samsung could eventually ramp up U.S. manufacturing of refrigerators, washers, dryers and other home appliances, which could make the total investment significantly larger, according to people familiar with the discussions. But no firm deadline or commitment is set for those decisions, the people said.” 

Most importantly for Trump: “Samsung’s interest in a U.S. factory was influenced by the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. Trump campaigned on a desire to create more manufacturing jobs in the country—and has threatened potential penalties for companies that don’t comply.” 

And once again, astute readers echoed the major consensus of those grasping the POTUS’s views of the nation’s much needed economic expansion.  

sherrill schein commented: “China, South Korea, Japan and Mexico, the big 4 that accounts for most of the US trade deficit. They heard Trump's message that he will be bilaterally renegotiating trade agreements with the trade imbalance in mind.South Korea and Japan are trying to get ahead of the negotiations by pointing to the factories that their national corporations plan to open in the US since he was elected once they sit down. Doubt this would have occurred if Clinton was elected because she had no plans to renegotiate trade agreements. 

Yaspar Kyashred wrote: “In the mean time the press is busy chasing Russian gremlins, and the lefties are dancing around a cauldron casting spells to make the bad man go away.” 

All of which underscores once more how difficult the leftist road ahead is whereas theoretical postulating on things like “Russian gremlins,” doesn’t do a thing regarding much-needed job-development across the U.S.  

That’s it for today folks. 

Adios
