How Does The Los Angeles Times Deal With Trump's Huge Legislative Win; Clearly Besting Anything His Predecessor Acoomplsihed -- The Political Page, T+334 -- December 21, 2017

Does a tree falling in a forest make any noise if no one hears it? How does The Los Angeles Times handle the president's greatest legislative win? Ignore it. By now, one would expect a several-page analysis of the tax bill. The LA Times? Nothing.

One way to keep the government open a bit longer: POTUS has the authority to delay payment of foreign aid for a temporary period of time. He cannot completely cancel it but he can delay it. Foreign aid is part of the annual budget and is re-negotiated annually, as I understand it.

Now He Knows How The Deplorables Feel

This article was linked "high" on the Drudge Report. I really had no interest in clicking on it but I was curious why it had been placed in such a prominent position by Drudge.

Nearly a year into the Trump presidency, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos says he’s experiencing “the worst moment I’ve had in the 34 years I’ve been living in the United States.”

“With Donald Trump there, I have never been treated so badly. I have never been insulted so much. We’ve never been attacked so much. They have never tried to run us out as much as now,” Ramos vented in an interview.

Ramos, who proclaimed himself “if not an enemy, an opponent” of Trump in the interview, complained about the massive blowback he has received since deciding to use his media platforms to openly oppose the choice of over 62 million American voters in last year’s U.S. presidential election.

In the interview, Ramos continues to contend that Trump “was speaking about me” “he insulted me” along with the entire immigrant community in the U.S. on June 16, 2015 when during his presidential campaign announcement speech Trump slammed the lax border security that had permitted criminal elements from Mexico and other countries to illegally enter the United States.

Ramos might reflect on how 50% of Americans who voted, who supported Trump, feel about being called "deplorables" by Hillary.  And the "deplorables" Hillary was talking about were American citizens, not criminal elements coming across our open borders.
