armyofone:Are you surprised that's coming from a graceless winner. As much as I will like for him to succeed as my presidente, his childish rantings on his Twitter account would not do him any good after January 20. That's when he will find out Americans don't worship personality like his Nigerian Bom Bom carrying cheerleaders. |

thesuave10:Mr Big mouth, tell me how Trump will add a dime to your life in Port Harcourt?. He's my president and he won't stop my progress in America. I could care less because I have seen presidents come and go and he wouldn't be different. Four years in America will go like a blinking of an eye. You are so pent up about a guy that doesn't even think of Africa in his utterings. Deal with your monumental calamities facing you and worry less about America. |

thesuave10:Talking about a loser, you should know. I have supported and voted for many presidents in America. In life you win some and lose some. No Matter who the president is in US, hard working Americans will be successful. Americans being successful comes not from the presidency. You can foam in the mouth all you want, Trump would not add a Nickel to your life in Nigeria. |

Lucasbalo:wow!! Jesus! "graceless winner"? coming from a supporter of a "graceless sore loser", Hillary Klinton. At least he will go down as a "winner". I rather be a graceless winner than a graceless loser who abandoned her supporters on that fateful night. hahahaha. |

obixcel:The euphoria of his being elected will be wiped out in a jiffy after he's sworn in on Jan 20 and he will find out Americans are no pussies. The funny thing is people like you and others who have no ball in the game will be watching thousands of miles away with amazement. Have seen these game before. |

stanech:But isn't it ironic that all, if not most of the folks that think socialism is evil are fans of the socialist NFL. I'm not a socialist per se, but it's immoral not to help the poor when there is so much money that the pentagon can't account for TRILLIONS of $$, most of which is spent on wasteful and useless weapons systems that we don't need. Think about it |

Top American Political Cliches 1. "The only poll that counts is on Election Day" Perhaps the most tired of political clichés, it's the standard spin move of candidates who trail in polls. The cliché has actually taken a beating in political circles for its ubiquity. A turning point came in December 2014 just before the Louisiana Senate runoff. The incumbent, Democrat Mary Landrieu, trailing badly in the polls, took heat for saying, "It's not over until it's over. The only poll that matters is on Election Day." 2. "It all comes down to turnout" Yes, it does. But that doesn't make this any less of a cliché. NBC's First Read wrote recently, "Yes, this is a cliché -- but it's also true 3. "My good friend" Politician-speak for somebody they often can't stand. "My good friend" is used most commonly on the House or Senate floors in thinly veiled efforts to mask contempt for colleagues under the guise of decorum. (Really hate someone? Try "my very good friend, the distinguished gentleman." ![]() Calling someone a "friend" on the campaign trail is generally not a sign things are going well. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush deployed it against his protégé-turned-presidential rival, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. "Marco's a friend but Americans are looking for a leader 4. "Son/daughter of a..." Presidential candidates frequently describe their humble beginnings to show they're worthy of the nation's high office. Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the most persistent. At every turn on the 2016 campaign trail Kasich notes that he's the son of a mailman. Several of Kasich's Republican rivals have their own oft-old stories about being son of a something-or-other. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's father was a bartender and his mother a maid, he reminds audiences. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas frequently refers to his preacher father. Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania adds a twist with recollections of his coal miner grandfather. 5. "Evolved" A politicians' euphemism to explain their shifts on issues when it becomes politically convenient. President Barack Obama famously "evolved" into supporting same-sex marriage, and now Trump is relying on it to explain his shift on abortion. The mogul has been chided by opponents repeatedly for a 1999 statement on "Meet the Press" about his views on abortion: "I am pro-choice in every respect." Speaking in Iowa on January 26 Trump explained, "When it comes to pro-life, I've evolved." 6. "Premise of your question" A candidate attempt to deflect attention away from an unflattering topic to one they want to discuss. Nobody's done it more than Cruz. The Texas senator used it to push back against queries over unreported loans to his 2012 Senate campaign from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. When asked by CNN's Dana Bash how the loans from the big banks squared with his populist image, Cruz responded, "The premise of your question is not right." 7. "The American people" Every politician, even the ones in complete disagreement, claims to speak for the American people. It's a favorite in House and Senate floor debate and virtually every congressional news conference. And arguably more so in the 2016 presidential race. 8. “Job creator” 9. “Democrats fall in love, while Republicans fall in line” 10. LANES. Enough of this garbage about “lanes.” There is no “Establishment lane,” “Evangelical lane,” “moderate lane,” “mainstream lane,” “Kasich lane,” “socialist lane” or “Penny Lane.” This is a really stupid rhetorical device. Average Americans don’t have any idea what you’re yammering about. 11. DOUBLE DOWN. The third and final golden-oldie that should be banned from all political coverage: the term “double down.” It seems to be used almost weekly when Donald Trump says something the media considers outrageous and then, rather than apologizing and backing down, he says it again and again and again. 12. POLL OF POLLS. This concept is a methodologically fraudulent way that a news outlet can create artificial news by averaging a group of polls to develop its own “poll of polls.” News outlets in England used this technique — with disastrous journalistic consequences — during last year’s British parliamentary elections. CNN has resurrected its own “poll of polls” for the 2016 election. 13. BREAKING NEWS. This term should be banned on cable news, social media and press releases. News breaks once. It doesn’t break all night, after every commercial break, on television. A candidate dropping out of the race is breaking news. Once. When it happens. Scheduled events — like primary elections, caucuses and State of the Union speeches — are not breaking news. They are scheduled events. If you’re reporting that 16 percent of the precincts are reporting their results (instead of the previous 14 percent), it is not breaking news. It is an update. https://rickdunhamblog.com/2016/02/03/ten-terrible-political-journalism-cliches-its-a-real-game-changer/ |

CFCman:I agree with you on the pentagon issue. That is why we should strive for a government that is sincere, prudent and smart. Capitalism may not be perfect economic system but socialism is not an option. It encourages people to be lazy and unproductive. There should be some kind of perks or social programs for the elderly, sick, disabled orphaned etc but no able body person should be entitled to any free money. However the government must also enact policies that provides so many opportunities for the people to work and be competitive. That is how a society becomes successful.... |

[size=18pt]Ford cancels $1.6 billion Mexican plant after Trump criticism [/size] Ford Motor Co (F.N) said Tuesday it will cancel a planned $1.6 billion factory in Mexico and will invest $700 million at a Michigan factory, after it had come under harsh criticism from President-elect Donald Trump for its Mexican investment plans. The second largest U.S. automaker said it would build new electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles at the Michigan plant. Ford Chief Executive Mark Fields on Tuesday said the decision to cancel the new plant in Mexico was in part related to the need to "fully utilize capacity at existing facilities" amid declining sales of small and medium sized cars such as the Focus and Fusion. Fields said Ford will build a battery electric SUV with a 300-mile driving range at the Flat Rock, Michigan plant by 2020, and will launch production there by 2021 of a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or a brake pedal for use in ride services fleets. Ford will add 700 jobs at the Flat Rock plant, Fields said, to cheers from union workers gathered at the factory for the announcement. RELATED COVERAGE Mexico's peso deepens losses after Ford scraps Mexican plant plan Ford in April announced it would invest $1.6 billion to build a new plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico to build small cars. The company said Wednesday it will shift production from Michigan of its Focus to an existing plant in Hermosillo, Mexico. Trump had urged Ford to cancel the planned Mexican plant. Ford said Wednesday it will add two new unnamed products at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, where the Focus is manufactured today http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ford-mexico-idUSKBN14N1EO |
