* Fact check! You just put a crack in your own glass house. And before anyone gets his or her panties tied up in a knot, I'm not condoning slavery at any percent; just presenting facts against another blanket untruth:

Quote:
6. Largely as a result of natural increase, the United States went from being a country that accounted for 6 percent of slaves imported to the New World to one that in 1860 held more than 60 percent of the hemisphere’s slave population, according to Steven Mintz, author of “American Slavery in Comparative Perspective,” for the Gilder Lehrman Institute. (It’s worth noting that Stanley Engerman, Richard Sutch and Gavin Wright put that number closer to 50 percent in their March 2003 report on “Slavery” (pdf) for the University of California Project on the Historical Statistics of the United States.)
BUT, not by half the country (by population):

Quote:
9. In 1860, according to the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, 75 percent of white families in the United States owned not a single slave, while 1 percent of families owned 40 or more. Just a tenth of 1 percent of Americans owned 100 or more slaves.
Slavery, by the Numbers

** Is not signing the bill getting the job done?

Crazed Demos...always on the war path!!

Recession? Who's going into a recession? Certainly not the USA. No evidence whatsoever of a recession. You can go to the bank on that.

No tax cuts under Hillary. Yes you are correct: No tax cuts under Hillary.

Deficit spending will destroy the country it's now being implied -- when a Republican is President.

But when Democrats are in charge, deficit spending is OK ... Democrats and liberals call it investment.

The National Debt has been growing for decades and decades so blaming Trump shows ignorance and hatred for the guy. Plus, Hillary would not have stemmed that tide either. Cut the nonsense.

Yes again, no tariffs under Hillary.

The Trump imposed tariffs has led to a manufacturing boom in this country leading to millions of blue collar jobs and record unemployment. We are the only major economic power in the world that has achieved the huge economic and manufacturing growth these past 2+ years -- thanks to Trump.

Quote:
Americans are coming out of not just unemployment, but from out of the labor force entirely at a rate higher under President Donald Trump than under the previous administration, according to a Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) report out Tuesday.

CEA Member Rich Burkhauser focused in on a surge in blue-collar employment during a Tuesday briefing. He pointed to trends in manufacturing and more specifically durable goods manufacturing numbers: “from ’13 to November of 2016, we find that by February of 2019, we’re at 301,000 jobs above trend in durable goods manufacturing, which is steel machinery, computers, autos, which are the heart of blue-collar employment.”

Brand new Brexit Party founded by Nigel Farage has most support in UK after 2 weeks in existence. What is wrong with the voters there? don't they know the politicians know what is best for them?

The saga goes on. Tonight Johnson won the vote in the House of Commons on his new deal by 30 votes. The vote was saying they supported it in principle but it was only the second reading and in it's third reading would be subject to amendments. However, the sting in the tail was minutes later MP's defeated the government on it's timetable to get the bill through parliament. Johnson was trying to railroad it through in 3 days. The bill was over 500 pages long and only published a couple of days ago, something like this would normally take eight weeks. MP's quite rightly wanted more time to scrutinise the bill. Johnson has now thrown the toys out of the pram and pulled the bill. It now seems very unlikely that we will leave on the 31st October as Johnson promised. It looks like the only way we will leave by then is if the EU fail to give another extension. Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, has said he will recommend to the other EU countries that a further extension is agreed.

Johnson was forced by an act of parliament to send a letter to the EU on Saturday asking for an extension. After Johnson lost a vote on Saturday in his churlish style he sent a photocopied letter which was unsigned and followed it up with a second letter which he signed arguing against an extension.

What happens next? My guess is there will be an extension until the end of January and we will likely have a general election before then.

The EU has this morning agreed in principal to an Brexit extension until 31 January unless agreement in the UK parliament to the withdrawal bill allows us to leave earlier. This means it is almost certain we won't leave this Thursday as Boris Johnson promised time and time again. He said we will leave whatever on Thursday do or die and he would rather 'die in a ditch' than we don't leave on Thursday.

Today Johnson is tabling a motion for a general election on December 12th although the Liberal Democrats and Scottish Nationalists are putting in a counter motion to have it on December 9th. Those few days are important. It is not clear how the opposition Labour party will vote and if they will support an election on either date or at all.

Happy Halloween!

Are people going in costume as Boris? Shouldn't be difficult;just get a mophead, spray paint it canary yellow and put it on top of your head.

Well a Johnson mask will certainly scare the kids.

It's more likely effigies will be burnt on November 5th. November the 5th is bonfire night over here. It is the date we commemorate the attempt to blow up parliament in 1605. We let off fireworks and have bonfires. Traditionally people put an effigy of Guy Fawkes one of the conspirators on top of the bonfire. The effigies are usually of a man dressed in old cloths and stuffed with a mask on. When I was a kid we used to make our Guy Fawkes and stand near the shops asking for 'a penny for the guy'. Halloween has now sadly overtaken that tradition.

Johnson has just lost the vote in the commons to have an election not getting the 2/3rds majority needed. Tomorrow he will table a 'short bill' to have an election on December 12th. This only needs a straight majority.
