Be cautious about impeachment

This opinion column by Representative Schiff states:

“During the course of our investigation in the House Intelligence Committee, we have found troubling evidence of both collusion and obstruction of justice. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has no doubt seen even more than we have, but his investigation is not complete, and our efforts continue as well. There is much more work to do before any of us can say whether the evidence rises to the level that we should consider a remedy beyond the one that voters will render at the ballot box.”

Democrats should let the Mueller investigation play out and concentrate on issues such as the economy, gun safety, racism and health care.

Trump’s climate policies will hurt the South most

Trump’s ignorant climate policies will have the greatest impact on the South.

From this article:

“Significantly, the researchers from the University of North Carolina, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank found that “the temperature effects are particularly strong in states with relatively higher summer temperatures, most of which are located in the South.””

The article later states: “The study ranks the states by average summer temperature. The top ten, in order, are: Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Arizona. Besides all being in the south, they all also voted for Trump.”

Trump voters who had voted for Obama

The New York Times interviewed 38 voters in 14 states who voted for Trump and had previously voted for Obama.  They found that many did not like Trump personally but were satisfied with his policies.

This type of reporting is much better than having panel discussions on TV that only take place in New York and Washington.  Let’s hear from the voters, not just the “experts”.

Unemployment falls to 3.9%

The unemployment rate fell to 3.9%.  Trump deserves some of the credit.  It would be easier to give him credit on the rare occasions when he does something right if he didn’t take credit for things he didn’t do.  The fall in unemployment and the rise in the stock market are continuations of the trends under Obama.  Trump claims he inherited a mess but that’s not true.

More on the unemployment rate  The article states: “The economy has added 2.7 million jobs during Trump’s first 15 full months in the White House, extending labor market gains under the Obama administration. Employers added 3.1 million jobs during the last 15 months of President Barack Obama’s tenure. ”

That’s exactly my point!

Sad!

Update on hourly wages:

North Korean prisoners

I hope that North Korea does release the three US hostages.  In his eagerness to bash Obama, Trump gets the facts wrong.
