More fake news from CNN.
I don't think google even llinks to it at all...

"He called yesterday after my speech and he couldn't have been nicer. He said, 'That was very sad. I just want to let you know you did right by your friend.' I said, Thank you Mr. President.'" Graham told CNN's Dana Bash in an interview on "Inside Politics" Wednesday, adding that the call from the President was "right out of the blue."

(Reuters) - U.S. agents have arrested 160 employees of a trailer manufacturing plant in north Texas who they said violated immigration laws and were working illegally in the United States.

Of course no charges will be filed against the company that hired them....

The U.S. State Department on Friday said it would push for foreign postal carriers to pay the U.S. Postal Service more to deliver small parcels within the United States, taking up a longtime complaint by Amazon.com <AMZN.O>, UPS <UPS.N> and others who have alleged the current system is unfair.

Damn liberal capitalists!

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Microsoft will begin requiring its contractors to offer their U.S. employees paid leave to care for a new child.

It's common for tech firms to offer generous family leave benefits for their own software engineers and other full-time staff, but paid leave advocates say it's still rare to require similar benefits for contracted workers such as janitors, landscapers, cafeteria crews and software consultants.

That's what happens in a thriving economy with low unemployment and a lower tax rate.

Thanks Trump. Getting it done for the working man!

Contractors? Like who?
We do have FMLA by law! And in my workplace we can use the fmla for 12 months 24hours a day 7 days a week 365 days in a year! we get paid by utilizing our sick time, when sick time is empty then they start taking it from your vacation time bank....

I don’t think contractors will follow thru, if they do, they will make sure contracted employees don’t get it, By laying them off,or reducing hours, per diem employment etc.....

FMLA is unpaid time off. I know I took it to take care of my wife after an auto accident.
But yes I figure the contractors will just hand out 1099 forms or somesuch....

It’s unpaid time off if you don’t have it on writing like a UNION CONTRACT!

I had a co worker that’s used it for medical reasons, she was off for almost a year utilizing the FMLA without pay because she was working in a non union hospital then she was told, if she can’t come back to work with a 100% functionally, she might as well not comeback! Or FIRED... keep it mind she had a total hysterectomy plus radiation and she was told to come back to work on a light duty status by her surgeon! You already know the end story!

Difference between non union and union!

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Republican Gov. Matt Bevin's administration could eliminate Kentucky's expanded Medicaid program to avoid a $300 million shortfall.

Former Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear expanded Kentucky's Medicaid program in 2014 under former President Barack Obama's health care law. The expanded program now covers more than 400,000 people.

I think the math may be flawed.
With 400,000 TOTAL medicaid recipients 300 million would equate to 1.33 million or so spent on each recipient.

The medicaid expansion membership in counties hit hardest by the coal slowdown are at up to 20% participation in expanded medicaid.
also exapnded medicaid created many jobs in those regions.
Medicaid expansion will add 40,000 jobs and $30 billion to the state’s economy through 2021, according to a new study Deloitte Consulting LLC and the University of Louisville’s Urban Studies Institute released today. Expansion will also generate a net positive impact of nearly $820 million to state and local government budgets.

The report concludes that the estimated costs of expansion in the current and upcoming biennial budget would be more than offset by savings and new revenues generated from economic activity resulting from new health care spending.

:giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle:

Math just isn't your thing.

With 400,000 total medicaid recipients, 300 million would equate to $750 per person. 300 million / 400,000 = 750

1.33 million spent for each recipient would be $532 BILLION. 1.33 million X 400000 = 532 billion.

In fact, in 2008 they made the same claims about McStain that they make about Trump now.

“What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history," Lewis said in a statement issued today for Politico's Arena forum. "Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse."

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) likened the politics of Arizona Sen. John McCain to segregationist former Alabama Gov. George Wallace.

I swear libtards are barking fucking mad...Goerring said if you tell a big enough lie loud enough and often enough it becomes the truth...the DNC thinks if they just tell enough lies they can bury the truth...and so the media publishes DNC lies everyday and hope the American people's knowledge of the turth will get buried under the avalanche of lies their propoganda mills are putting out...and with their co conspirators on Facebook, google, and youtube censoring the truth, they think they can control the narritive and hide the fact they are committing high treason...and they need to be tried for it.

President Donald Trump told lawmakers on Thursday he wants to scrap a pay raise for civilian federal workers, saying the nation's budget couldn't support it.

Betcha congress gets a raise...

Umm isn't the border patrol civillian?
It is not part of the military...

I wonder how far those billions Trump is giving to farmers over his tariff debacle to keep them quiet would go towards a pay raise for federal employees?
