Trump tells it as he see it  — and it drives some of  the mainstream news media people nuts?

“The president noted the mess in Europe with mass immigration and terrorists lurking among the migrants. He said that he loved Sweden, but “they know what I’m talking about.” Here, he was implying that the elites there and in their media might be hiding the truth, but the people know what’s going on there.

“As President Trump moved more into the policy positions, it felt like listening to an executive going down his To Do list. He recounted what had been accomplished so far but then listed what he wanted to do. The list was everything mentioned above, plus talking about cleaning up inner cities. He specifically mentioned Chicago and seven shootings in recent days.

“Trump’s  speaking style might drive a listener nuts, but it works. While the media tilts at windmills, the people who continue to listen after his opening salvo hear what he’s actually saying.

“They hear the meta-message, which is this: No more bowing and scraping, no more apologizing for being American, no more global village hoo-ha, no more gutting of the military, no more getting side-tracked on meaningless issues like bathrooms, no more moral equivalence, no more denial of obvious reality.

Opps.  Which bathroom now?

So where go for a job? Head to a state with ‘right to work’ laws in place.  Or make your own job by  starting  your own business.

Right to work states  include: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Boeing  in South Carolina recently voted overwhelmingly not to unionize.

In California, unfortunately, many middle class job seekers are leaving the state.

Kenneth Troske, an economics professor at the University of Kentucky, said he thinks right-to-work laws  help states attract businesses.

“[It] sends a signal to businesses that, as a state, we are trying to make ourselves more open and friendly and flexible as possible for businesses that want to locate here,” Troske said.

He said businesses like the promise of flexible workplace schedules which can increase productivity.

“That’s essentially what the research shows, is that when plants become unionized, you see a decline in their productivity,” Troske said.

Monterey Bay Forum:  Trump’s domestic agenda — reduce regulations on business creation, reduce taxes in general — the domestic policies Trump  put  to the voters can create more jobs.  Now it’s time for the Democrats to work with the Republicans to create jobs.
