The Electoral College and Popular Vote

___Whether it is the 1948 Chicago Daily Tribune newspaper held by President-elect Truman or the current day Newsweek magazine announcing Hillary Clinton's victory, the media makes mistakes. They are still stating that Hillary won the popular vote. This has caused supporters who are not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” [United States Constitution] to commit domestic terrorism. By definition they are not citizens, they are just thugs. The truth is that the vote counting is not complete. Hillary has a very slim lead of the votes which have been counted. A week after the election some of the media have not given Michigan to Trump. A majority of the votes which have not been counted will probably be for Trump. These are from states where the number of uncounted votes will not affect the electoral vote outcome.

___The Newsweek Madam President issue is selling for $1000 on Ebay. With 125,000 printed and millions copied and sold as cover-only items, there is a lot of money to be made – even for a lie!

___Many who dislike the Constitution will want to change the Electoral College. Those in New Hampshire – and other less populous states - realize that they would not have met the candidates if not for their 4 electoral votes. Hillary apparently won the 4 NH votes with a margin of less than 3,000. Popular-vote elections would be decided in CA, FL, IL, NY and TX. States may determine how their electoral votes may be allocated – as ME and NE have – rather than “winner take all.” The United States Constitution has worked well since 1789!

Will There be a Do-Not-Fry List?

___One of Trump's "6 Steves", Steve Hayes, was put on the Do-Not-Fly list for landing in Turkey to go on a Hillsdale College (MI) sponsored cruise of the Greek Isles.

___Since pressure cookers have been used by terrorists to build the bombs detonated in Boston and NYC, will cooks now be placed on a Do-Not-Fry List?

Central Control vs Free Market

___The election will determine whether elites in the D.C. political establishment will continue to centrally control the economy and morality or those who want to free the producers and buyers to make individual economic and moral decisions.

___The Department of Commerce has centralized business and financial data. There is an obvious partisan bias on released data. Unemployment of 4.9% should indicate a boom, but labor participation is at a 40-year low, and the GDP growth is around 1%. Under Truman it was over 5%. The 1920s under Coolidge were named “roaring” for good reason. Businesses were allowed to prosper and hire with little restraint.

___Under Carter energy and education policy were consolidated under the two new DOEs. How have they performed?

___The Department of Energy forbid the export of oil. Utility customers were illegally taxed (a "fee" so House would not have to initiate it) to pay for Yucca Mountain in Nevada. After about $15 Billion was spent in Nevada on construction and wages, the Governor and President reneged on the agreement and nuclear waste had to remain stored at more than 100 individual facilities.

___The Department of Education oversaw the destruction of a good system of public education while destroying exceptional private schools. It illegally became one of the largest banks in the world with over $1.4 Trillion in student loans. Taxpayers will now have to pay the bill for the mismanagement. Common Core, owned by the Gates Foundation and exempt from FOIA, has been implemented by threatened withholding of “federal funds” and is partly responsible for the nation's poor performance against our foreign competitors. The Feds now want control over young minds from pre-school through college all paid for by apathetic, gullible taxpayers. College majors in race and gender history will hardly prepare students for a real world. The MIT professor said we were stupid to believe the lies about Obamacare. I didn't, but he may be right about many.

___History teaches that Adam Smith was correct, and Karl Marx (USSR), John M. Keynes (U.K.) and Paul Krugman were not. If we ignore history, then we will repeat the mistakes.

Decreasing Productivity and Increasing Wages

___"Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer called for better fiscal and regulatory policies that could help boost the U.S. economy's flagging productivity growth rate and help the central bank avoid having to drop interest rates to near zero again." The Fed was created in 1913 to maintain a stable currency. Having failed at that, their role was expanded to use monetary policy (low interest rates) to grow the economy. The lower trend in productivity should have nothing to do with the Fed unless industry wants low-interest capital in order to automate.

___We have an anomaly where labor rates are increasing (not necessarily in constant dollars), but productivity is decreasing. In economics only increases in productivity of labor (not automation) should result in wage increases. Now you get paid more whether you work hard or not!

“Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof”

___This Constitutional requirement for citizenship means that all citizens – even those “born or naturalized in the United States” must have sole allegiance to the American system written down in our Constitution.

___Donald Trump says “those who share our values and respect our people.” That excludes Islamic extremists. It also excludes Black Lives Matter extremists who riot, loot and murder whenever a legal authority kills a black person who is threatening them. Shariah law is incompatible with our Constitution, so immigrants who would implement Shariah law should never become citizens. The multiculturalism seen in Europe allows Islamic enclaves ruled by Shariah law. Islamic State promotes re-establishing the caliphate (1288 to 1924) with Islam as the state religion and Shariah as the legal and moral law. Shariah law is incompatible with our Constitution.

___Progressives want a North American Union similar to the EU with free movement across the borders with Canada and Mexico and the amero as the common currency. The majority of Americans saw this as a loss of American sovereignty and rejected it. NAFTA was implemented as a compromise and millions of illegal aliens were allowed to enter as “undocumented workers.” The Inspector General reported recently that 6.5 million people on active Social Security numbers were over 112 years of age. That indicates that SSANs were illegally recycled to illegals (employers were to be fined for hiring illegals under the immigration law passed in the 1980s). Progressives are desperate to move prisoners-of-war to the United States so that they will be perceived as citizens with legal protections. If you sleep in a garage, then it does not make you a car!

Business Sense is Needed in Government

___It is important to have someone with business sense running the federal government. We are told that cutting taxes will bankrupt the nation. Do businesses have sales in order to destroy their business or to increase the number of customers? We have too many economists who have never run a business!

___Profit is Sales minus Costs. Taxes are a cost which reduces profit. We must make a profit in order to remain in business and keep employees working. Labor is a cost. When automation costs less than manual labor, then we automate and reduce workers. At one time over 90% of Americans were involved in agriculture. Now less than 5% are, but we produce more food! The tractor is more productive than a mule and plow. Technology allows us to plant drought and pest-resistant crops. The same technology effect is true with manufacturing. Some in labor have unrealistic expectations of doing the same job that their father and grandfather did. When excessive labor, regulatory and tax costs drive businesses away, labor blames China or Mexico or big corporations.

___It is unfortunate that people will vote for the politician who offers the largest bribe (PC: incentive). There are over 42 million voting-age Americans with student debt. One bribe will be student loan forgiveness and, while we're at it, free college whether qualified or not. When all but six or seven states are essentially decided, the election will be easily (and illegally) won. Both political parties commit fraud, but there is a reason Progressives hate voter ID! Project Vote has succeeded well in enfranchising the dead and paid transient voters. The IRS has illegally suppressed conservative voting. Government runs the election process (and the DMV and USPS)! Mistakes are made and the effect lasts for years.

___There is a constitutional remedy for federal corruption, but one SC Representative (R-Chester) prevented it. Too bad for US! Hillary was “extremely careless” and did “exceptionally grave damage to the national security.” Our enemies would vote for her!
