I hope as our federal government becomes a home for white supremacist racist homophobes, Hollywood produces even more shows like this.

Trump's education pick says reform can 'advance God's Kingdom'

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/betsy-devos-education-trump-religion-232150


The billionaire philanthropist whom Donald Trump has tapped to lead the Education Department once compared her work in education reform to a biblical battleground where she wants to "advance God's Kingdom."

Trump’s pick, Betsy DeVos, a national leader of the school choice movement, has pursued that work in large part by spending millions to promote the use of taxpayer dollars on private and religious schools.

Her comments came during a 2001 meeting of “The Gathering,” an annual conference of some of the country’s wealthiest Christians. DeVos and her husband, Dick, were interviewed a year after voters rejected a Michigan ballot initiative to change the state’s constitution to allow public money to be spent on private and religious schools, which the DeVoses had backed.


This is a state of emergency, this woman cannot be in charge of our education system.

A far-right Austrian leader who just signed a pact with Putin says he met with Trump's national security adviser in New York




President-elect Donald Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, met with the leader of a far-right Austrian political party that has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Austrian leader said.

The Freedom Party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, wrote on his Facebook page Monday that he met with Flynn "and a few other high-ranking US politicians" a few weeks ago at Trump Tower.

He noted in the post that his party had recently signed a cooperation deal with Putin's United Russia party, which "outlined plans for regular meetings and collaboration where suitable on economic, business, and political projects," The New York Times reported on Tuesday.

China will 'take off the gloves' if Trump continues on Taiwan, state media warns

Source: Reuters

China will "take off the gloves" and take strong action if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump continues to provoke Beijing over Taiwan once he assumes office, two leading state-run newspapers said on Monday.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Friday, Trump said the "One China" policy was up for negotiation. China's foreign ministry, in response, said "One China" was the foundation of China-U.S. ties and was non-negotiable.

Reagan sworn in at the very MOMENT hostages are released, remember?

It is now believed that shenanigans occurred between Reagan people and the Iranians, and this made Reagan look good at the time and the logical conclusion is treason took place.

Fast forward to January 2017.


Lets watch closely how many cyber attacks occur in the next few days or weeks, like MSNBC and CSPAN being hacked, and other stuff.

Then once the new president is sworn in, look for a similar "win" for Trump, orchestrated by Putin and Trump and Tillerson.

These three men appear to want a business partnership that benefits only the 3 men and very few others. So watch for any number of orchestrated events to make Trump look good. Putin doesnt need that, his people already believe he is some sort of god. When in fact all he really is, is a murderous dictator.

Which tropical island would you want to spend the last days of the

human race on?

I like some of the cay's in the Caribbean.

Would the nuclear cloud stay away long enough so you could live a few years?
