Sometimes when one 's life is cut short (MLK, JFK, etc) we tend to make them into Gods.... They are not. Often they are quite terrible human beings... On our message board, several months ago, we published an article on Lincoln's Crimes. Today we are following up with another history lesson on the subject...
Consider a few rarely spoken facts:
President Lincoln, who is considered by most historians (or at least the politically correct ones) to be the best and certainly the most important U.S. President, wielded power in a fashion never seen before nor since. The fact that he died as a martyr is why history has viewed him in such a kind albeit sanitized light.
During the Civil War, Lincoln continuously circumvented the law and in many cases suspended the Constitution altogether. In doing so, Lincoln denied the rights of citizens he was sworn to protect. He suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus, closed courts by force, and arrested citizens and elected officials without cause. Lincoln also raised troops without the consent of Congress, closed-down newspapers whose writers displayed any dissent to U.S. policy.
Lincoln’s troops razed the South and doomed to poverty–generations of Southerners for many years to come. General Sherman‘s “March to the Sea” was nothing more than a marauding rampage filled with robbery, rape, and murder. These men were less soldiers on a military mission and more common thugs on a crime spree. Northern armies brought war to women, children, and privately held property as a matter of official policy (rather than as so-called “collateral damage”).
Lincoln ordered the arrest of Baltimore police chief George P. Kane, police commissioner Charles Howard, as well as fellow commissioners: William H. Gatchell, John W. Davis, and Charles D. Hinks. Baltimore Mayor George W. Brown was arrested and sent to Fort McHenry. The men were incarcerated because they dared to publicly disagree with Lincoln and refused to carry-out the President’s tyrannical orders.

Should another financial crisis befall us, rendering a number of Too-Big-To-Fail banks insolvent, the good news is that taxpayers will no longer be forced to bail them out.
The bad news is that these large Wall Street banks can now legally bail themselves out internally (referred to as “bail-ins’) using depositor funds.
Thanks to Dodd-Frank, if you happen to hold your money in a savings or checking account at a bank, and if that bank collapses, it can legally freeze and confiscate your funds for purposes of maintaining its solvency.
So instead of relying on government funds (taxpayer money) to save itself from going bankrupt, a bank can simply dip into your deposit accounts to stabilize itself.
To compensate you, the bank will exchange your money for its equivalent value in company shares.
In other words, if a bank fails, it takes your money and hands you an equivalent amount of shares in its failing operation. Ethical? No. Legal? Yes.
Looks like a balanced budget is just talk.............
The federal budget deficit will reach $1 trillion by next year, according to forecasts from the Congressional Budget Office.
The Congressional Budget Office revealed the deficit will hit $960 billion for the 2019 fiscal year and $1 trillion for the 2020 fiscal year, according to the New York Times.
I don't know, but to a Christian JESUS is the King of the Jews!
Now the story........
President Donald Trump thanked Newsmax TV host Wayne Allyn Root Wednesday for saying he is “the greatest President for Jews,” who love him like “the King of Israel.”
Root’s comments came from a Tuesday broadcast of Newsmax during when he also said “75[%] of all Jews vote Democrat.” MORE

Before getting bashed by the zombie Trump supporter let me state that I wanted Trump to be president. I have done very well in the Trump years, and so have most small business owners that I know. Trump has been great for the economy so far, with little help from his own party and no help from the media or the democrats. That being said, I am beginning to see a new phenomena out there that I haven't seen since Obama was elected - The zombie-hero worshipping fan that knows everything about nothing. The stupidity of those that supported Obama, and considered him to be a God-like figure, which, at the time, I wrote about in disgust 11 years ago, has now been supplanted with the moronic EVER-TRUMPER. You see them every-time a negative story comes out about him. To these nitwits (and that is what they are) Trump is a God-like figure that can do nothing wrong. He is a genius (probably the smartest guy who has ever lived) that controls everyone and everything, just like God. According to "Q" he planned the Russian collusion fiasco that backfired on the left. They suggested that Mueller and Trump planned the entire investigation together.
Any news that doesn't portray Trump has the greatest human being to have ever existed is demonized as left winged journalism. Here is an example from the Daily Caller (hardly an anti-Trump new site, once controlled by Tucker Carlson.):
Headline:
The story shows that the steel industry, which Trump touts as his greatest achievement is doing poorly. The United States Steel Corporation plans to lay off fewer than 200 workers at a Michigan facility, according to the company’s filings with the state of Michigan. News of the layoffs comes after President Donald Trump said last week at Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex in Monaca, Pennsylvania that his 25% tariff on foreign imports helped change the steel business from “dead” to “thriving.” (By the way, the thousands of Shell employees at his rally were paid to be there by Shell Oil!)
The Plain Truth is that while domestic steel prices rose immediately after Trump’s tariffs, they have also fallen as auto and farm machinery sectors weaken demand, according to Reuters. Hot-rolled coil prices have fallen almost 37% since 2018 and U.S. Steel’s stock price dropped 73% since March 2018.
Trumpites got mad at this fake news: Some examples of their ramblings on the comment section of the story:
President Donald Trump addressing the nation about border security on Jan. 8, 2019 (video screenshot)
President Trump on Sunday unloaded a scathing attack against the Fox News Channel, saying “something is going on” at the network and he’s “not happy with it.”
“Fox is a lot different than it used to be. I can tell you that,” Trump told reporters, as he singled out two prominent personalities on Fox News.
“Juan Williams, then they have the wonderful woman that gave Hillary Clinton the questions. That was a terrible thing. And all of a sudden, she’s working for Fox. What’s she doing working for Fox?”
