Thank you to Brad Blakeman on @FoxNews for grading year one of my presidency with an “A”-and likewise to Doug Schoen for the very good grade and statements.

Unprecedented success for our Country, in so many ways, since the Election. Record Stock Market, Strong on Military, Crime, Borders, & ISIS, Judicial Strength & Numbers, Lowest Unemployment for Women & ALL, Massive Tax Cuts, end of Individual Mandate -- and so much more. The Trump Administration has terminated more UNNECESSARY Regulation, in just twelve months, than any other Administration has terminated during their full term in office, no matter what the length.

The good news is, THERE IS MUCH MORE TO COME -- BIG 2018. Working hard! www.youtu.be/gFXcLi85cQY

Intel Has a Big Problem. It Needs to Act Like It

During the six months Intel was quietly working to try to fix the vulnerabilities, Krzanich sold $24 million in company shares. Intel says the stock sale was part of a plan that had been in place before anyone there knew about Meltdown or Spectre, but the day after Krzanich’s CES speech, two U.S. senators sent letters to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice demanding investigations. Consumer and shareholder lawyers have filed a dozen class actions against Intel, and there are few signs the pressure will let up on Krzanich anytime soon. In a research note, an analyst for Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. called the stock sale “indefensible.”

Martin Luther King, Jr., was the very model of a modern American patriot.

The Reverend’s devotion to fighting the injustice of segregation and discrimination ignited the American spirit of fraternity and reminded us of our higher purpose.

Dr. King's dream is my dream. It is the American Dream. It's the promise stitched into the fabric of our Nation, etched into the hearts of our people, and written into the soul of humankind. AMERICA FIRST! 45.wh.gov/NhJy55

Good news for #MLK fans -- yesterday, it was my great honor to proclaim January 15, 2018, as Martin Luther King Jr., Federal Holiday. That's right, I proclaimed a holiday just for him! Because I think he was a great guy, a great American hero. We have some fine people from Norway, but Martin was one of our own. I encourage all Americans to observe this day with appropriate civic, community, and service activities in honor of Dr. King's EXTRAORDINARY life and his great legacy. pic.twitter.com/samlJsz1Nt

And on Monday it was my great pleasure & honor to sign H.R. 267, the "Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Act," which redesignates the Martin Luther King, Junior, National Historic Site in the State of Georgia as the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park. 45.wh.gov/T5ByM5 pic.twitter.com/QTgaqTawPT

God bless you all and God bless America!

H&M slammed for racism after showing black boy in ‘coolest monkey in the jungle’ hoodie

Clothing giant H&M has been slammed for racism after featuring a photo of a black boy wearing a “coolest monkey in the jungle” hoodie.

The hoodie, available at the store’s United Kingdom page as a “printed hooded top,” was noticed Sunday by social media users such as blogger Stephanie Yeboah, whose outraged screen capture of the offering went viral.

H&M has been accused of racism after it featured a young black boy in a "coolest monkey in the jungle" hoodie.

H&M, based in Sweden, apologized Monday morning for what many said was an insensitive association between the young model and a hateful slur against black people.

"This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologise to anyone this may have offended," the company told the Daily News in a terse statement from its Stockholm headquarters.

Musician The Weeknd cut ties with the brand after the photo went viral online.

"Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo," he tweeted. "I'm deeply offended and will not be working with @hm anymore..."

RACHEL DOLEZAL RESPONDS TO H&M CONTROVERSY WITH HER OWN 'RACIST' SWEATSHIRT DESIGN

“Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modelled,” Mango wrote, according to screenshots of the messages. “Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here… get over it.”

“If I bought that jumper and put it on him and posted it on my pages, would that make me racist? I get pples opinion, but they are not mine,” she said.

She added, “Everyone is entitled to their opinion about this…I really don’t understand but not coz am choosing not to but because it’s not my way of thinking, sorry.”

H&M was forced to apologize on Monday for an ad featuring a black child in a "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle" sweatshirt. (H&M)

One amusing sidenote: Black boy? Shouldn't that be "black youth"? You can't refer to a black person as a black boy, even if he is a boy!

Those who want to be offended can easily find something to be offended about. Coolest monkey? FFS, the wife and I have referred to our own offspring as little monkeys. And, the grandchildren. The one with protruding ears gets the tag a bit more often than the others, is that racist?

Yes, of course it snows on cesspools, just as it snows everywhere else. So, you have special snowflakes in shitholes. Damn, Trump didn't know that? Now the snowflakes are going crazy, while pretending that they are going crazy in a rose garder? This is some funny shit!

This could get really interesting. About as interesting as a storm in a tea kettle, maybe?

Meanwhile, can we get back to the question? WHY DO WE WANT OR NEED IMMIGRANTS FROM SHITHOLES??????? (Mexico, I'm pointing at you!) If we're seeking immigrants, how 'bout we actively seek immigrants who are healthy, wealthy, wise, educated, or otherwise attractive?

And, oh yeah. Fuck the snowflakes. True, Trump ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's sharp enough to understand that all that downtrodden masses bullshit is destructive for our country. We simply don't need a million more welfare recipients, from any country!

NASA, Partners Discuss Power for Future Space Exploration

NASA and its partners will host a news conference at noon EST (9 a.m. PST) Thursday, Jan. 18, at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, to discuss a recent experiment involving a new power source that could provide the safe, efficient and plentiful energy needed for future robotic and human space exploration missions.

Audio of the news conference and presentation slides will stream live on NASA’s website.

Representatives from NASA, the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) Los Alamos National Laboratory and Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) will discuss and take questions on the Kilopower project, which aims to demonstrate space fission power systems technology that has the potential to enable future crewed surface missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Testing began in November 2017 and is expected to continue through March.

Good news, folks! I ended global warming! ❄🌎❄

Folks, President Obama is a big believer in global warming. So he told his people, "look for the global warming, tell everyone about the global warming." And every year they said "last year was the warmest year ever, this is going to be even warmer." But I'm open-minded. I got rid of a lot of Obama FLUNKIES & FLOOZIES. And the folks that are left, I said to them, "global warming is a hoax, maybe, probably, it's a hoax, just tell us about the weather!" So we have a beautiful weather report from my people at NOAA. We had some amazing weather last year in the great states of Florida, Texas, California, Montana, North and South Dakota. Erie, Pennsylvania. And Puerto Rico, which isn't a state. It's an island.

But guess what, it wasn't the warmest year. 2017 wasn't the warmest year ever. Because 2012 and 2014 -- when Obama was in office -- were warmer. I'll tell you, I never promised to end global warming. But I did it. And I did it while I BROUGHT BACK THE JOBS in our terrific coal, oil & gas industries. Like I promised.

And now that we've taken care of global warming, we're going to repeal Obama's Clean Power Plan. Because our power is clean enough. If we make it any cleaner, we'll kill our electric. Our Christmas trees will go dark. And our chandeliers. It won't be pretty, folks. In Africa they like it dark, they can stay in the dark. We're not doing that. We're doing a REPEAL. Administrator Pruitt, very smart guy, is doing the paperwork for that. To Make America Great Again.

And if we get a little global warming, we can use it. We could really use it. Our East, our South and our Central USA were cold as hell last week. Pipes freezing & bursting in Jackson, Mississippi and in Atlanta! And a lot of people freezing to death. We could use some goddamned global warming!
