Thank You, Mr. President You Were Magnificent; Scott Adams Lists Joe Biden’s Accomplishments Before He’s Even Inaugurated—It’s Not Good
Thank You, Mr. President, You were magnificent:
As America says goodbye to President Trump, Democrats are doing what they do best: pushing forward, to the very last moment, with their four-year crusade to discredit, smear, and punish one of history’s truly great presidents. Having never given Mr. Trump so much as a moment of respite from their relentless torrent of defamatory lies, they have firmly secured their place in history as the pettiest, most lawless tyrants ever to defile our nation’s political landscape. Thus, it remains for the many millions of Americans who, with sober hearts and minds, are able to discern the monumental good that this president has done for the United States, to lay bare the magnitude of his accomplishments. Toward that end, let us examine his remarkable record.
Trump’s Economy
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, which shook economies worldwide beginning in March 2020, President Trump presided over a historic economic boom that dramatically improved the lives of Americans in all demographic groups.
In 2018, the national poverty rate fell to 11.8%, the lowest annual figure since 2001.
In 2019, median household income reached $65,084 — the highest level ever recorded, and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since the start of Trump’s presidency. By contrast, during the final 7½ years of Barack Obama’s presidency the median household income of Americans rose by a mere $1,043 (1.7%).
Between January 2017 and August 2019, the total number of people employed nationwide increased by 6.6 million.
In February 2020, the overall unemployment rate nationwide was a mere 3.5%, the lowest figure since December 1969.
The black unemployment rate in August 2019 was 5.4%, an all-time low. The Hispanic unemployment rate in September 2019 was 3.9%, an all-time low. The Asian unemployment rate in June 2019 was 2.1%, the lowest level since 2003. The female unemployment rate reached its lowest level in 65 years. And youth unemployment reached its lowest level in more than 50 years.
During President Trump’s first 30 months in office, manufacturing jobs in the U.S. increased by 499,000 — a 4.0% rise. This was the fastest rate of growth in manufacturing since 1988.
In November 2019, Chase Bank CEO Jamie Dimon said that Trump’s economy was “the most prosperous economy the world has ever seen.”
Key contributors to that prosperity were the unprecedented measures that President Trump took to cut the size and power of government. In January 2017, for instance, he signed an executive order that called for the cutting of two regulations for every new regulation proposed. In February 2017, he said that “every regulation should have to pass a simple test: Does it make life better or safer for American workers or consumers? If the answer is no, we will be getting rid of it and getting rid of it quickly.”
During the first year of Trump’s administration, regulatory activity declined by 74 percent from where it had been during the same period of the Obama administration. Curtis Copeland, a former specialist at the Congressional Research Service, said in 2017: “By any empirical measure, it is a level of [deregulation] activity that has never been seen. It is unprecedented.”
And President Trump was never bashful about praising the lone economic system that had benefited more people around the world, and had lifted more individuals out of poverty, than any other system ever devised. In his 2019 State of the Union address, he said: “Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.” Republicans stood in thunderous applause, while most Democrats remained seated and chose not to applaud.

Scott Adams Lists Joe Biden’s Accomplishments Before He’s Even Inaugurated—It’s Not Good:
For weeks now, the fictitious “Office of the President-Elect” has been covered as if Joe Biden is already in charge. Every once in a while, they roll the withered husk of a septuagenarian out on the stage to say stuff. He stands behind a podium that looks suspiciously like the one the actual president stands behind. Then he reads words that someone else has written and commits to implementing the policies preferred by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The words Biden mumbles have had quite an effect. He has already racked up several accomplishments in giving a preview of what a Biden administration plans to do. Dilbert creator and commentator Scott Adams summarized this phenomenon perfectly:
So far, Biden has refused to halt a divisive impeachment, questioned the loyalty of the troops, sparked an immigration crisis, and surrender to China via energy policy. He hasn’t even started yet.

The impeachment of a president who has already left office is an absurd notion, but here we are. Impeachment is the process to remove a sitting president, and as of tomorrow, that has been accomplished by the recent election. Impeachment removes a president when removal is urgent and the voters cannot do it. “Mr. Unity” Joe Biden remains mum on the damage this is doing to the institution as well as the country. —>READ MORE HERE
