Best of 2019: 319 Square Miles!

By |2019-12-24T03:31:50+00:00December 24th, 2019|2016, Clinton, Trump|

Earlier this year the newly convened Democratic controlled House of Representatives introduced a bill to eliminate the electoral college. It seems that, since they couldn’t win the last presidential election under the rules that have existed for almost 250 years, they want to change the rules. Below is an excellent explanation on why this is a very bad idea.

Subject: 319 Square Miles

In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

  • There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
  • Trump won 3,084 of them.
  • Clinton won 57.
  • There are 62 counties in New York State.
  • Trump won 46 of them.
  • Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond (or Staten Island) & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
      • These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
      • The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

Then you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!

The Electoral College: How It Fairly Represents the US

By |2019-05-20T20:02:40+00:00May 20th, 2019|2016, Trump|

In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the
Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the
Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the
Electoral College makes sense.

This needs to be widely known and understood.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton
winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.

The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!

And it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.

A busy day at the White House

By |2018-10-21T18:10:08+00:00October 21st, 2018|Trump|

Now 629 days since his Inauguration, President Trump continues to fight hard for the American people day in and day out. To give you an inside look at just one day’s schedule at the White House:

  • Common sense reform for our music industry: President Trump signed long-awaited legislation this morning to fix outdated American music laws. The Orrin G. Hatch–Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act has gained widespread support throughout the industry, expected to benefit songwriters, artists, and fans alike. Through a simplified licensing system, songwriters will finally be paid the royalties they deserve. Watch today’s signing ceremony.
  • The Save our Seas Act of 2018: Each year, countries the world over are responsible for dumping more than 8 million tons of garbage into our oceans. This trash and debris is not only harmful to the world’s marine life—it disrupts our fishermen and coastal economies, as well. President Trump signed legislation today to reauthorize and strengthen the Marine Debris Program.
  • Ending the scourge of human trafficking: The Trump Administration is fighting to end the scourge of human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery. Today, the President met with his Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF), a Cabinet-level entity consisting of 15 departments and agencies. The Administration is taking the fight to all fronts, and the results are piling up: Last year, the Department of Justice secured convictions against nearly 500 defendants, and the FBI dismantled 42 criminal enterprises engaged in child sex trafficking. Learn more about President Trump’s fight to end this horrific practice.
  • Unprecedented access to journalists: “President Trump, already the most media-accessible president in memory, is talking to journalists almost nonstop as his successes pile up ahead of the midterm elections,” Dave Boyer of The Washington Times writes. See excerpts from the President’s phone interview this morning with Fox & Friends.

To all of our first responders: ‘Thank you!’

As President Donald J. Trump visits the Carolinas today, nearly 20,000 Federal employees have been mobilized to help restore power, rescue stranded victims, and assist in all aspects of the recovery following Hurricane Florence.

The numbers behind the Federal response:

  • More than 2,000 rescues and nearly 15,000 individuals sheltered by FEMA
  • Some 6,000 active-duty personnel and 7,000 National Guardsmen on scene
  • At least 400 lives—and 200 pets—saved by the U.S. Coast Guard
  • More than 100 priority sites beginning to be assessed by the EPA
  • 40,000 individuals working with the Department of Energy to restore power
  • 535 rescue-and-evacuation missions and counting performed or supported by the National Guard in North Carolina

The President delivered a, clear message during his visit to affected communities today: “The Federal Government is behind you.” He thanked state leaders, first responders, and local officials for working around the clock to help all victims get the assistance they need. “Whatever we need from Washington, we are there.”

The widespread devastation of this storm demands a Government-wide response, and that is what the Trump Administration has worked to deliver. The Department of Veterans Affairs is moving to open facilities that were closed by the storm, and the Small Business Administration has announced assistance for homeowners, renters, and businesses of all sizes in addition to opening a business recovery center.

Trump more Presidential?

Can Trump Be Presidential? He’s Going To Try

As Republican front-runner Donald Trump heads into the last month and a half of primary voting, he is shifting tactics and reportedly trying to project a more serious image as a potential general election campaign draws nearer. Trump, who has been frequently criticized as a blowhard with sophomoric policy proposals, will kick off a series of… (more…)

The Candidates and Israel: The GOP Edition

By |2016-11-11T00:14:03+00:00March 28th, 2016|2016, Trump|

We talked about Hillary and Sanders and what their grade was in the school of Israel and the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Now it’s time to look at the candidates from the party that has championed support for Israel. Let us see if the candidates are as pro-Israel as they pretend to be or if they are just trying to gain the Jewish vote.
