Happy New Year: Trump Axes Almost 11,000 Jobs In Federal Government

-

When President Donald Trump was campaigning, one of his main promises was that he would ‘drain the swamp,’ decrease the size of the federal bureaucracy.
And he has definitely kept that promise. By a lot. 
The administration downsized permanent staff at all cabinet-level departments by the end of Sept. 2017, except for at Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs (VA) and Interior, The Washington Post reported Saturday. Hundreds of federal positions have been removed as a result of the administration’s commitment to retool and shed some of the two million federal government employees.
The federal workforce grew sizably under both former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, ballooning from roughly 1.8 million employees in 2000 to 2.14 million at the height of Obama’s presidency.
Trump has also not filled all the political appointments he could have filled yet, filling only 240 of over 600 that were open from the prior administration.

According to the Daily Wire, almost 11,000 federal employees have been cut in the first six months of the Trump presidency.
Government Executive states: “A July jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday showed non-postal federal agencies employed 2,188,900 workers at the end of the month, down 2,200 from June and 10,700 from January, when Trump took office.”
For comparison’s sake, let’s look at Barack Obama and George W. Bush over the same period of time. According to Hot Air, Barack Obama added 60,000 in his first six months and George W. Bush added 36,000.
The departments where he hasn’t cut are the departments that have really needed help, like the VA, and that are consistent with the focus of his presidency, like Homeland Security.

Keeping employment levels higher at Interior, the VA, and Homeland Security is in line with the Trump administration’s “America First” policies, like its push for border security, improving veterans affairs and infrastructure spending, that is already shaping up to be the key legislative agenda of 2018.
Trump has indicated now that tax reform is done, infrastructure will be the next focus coming out of the box in 2018. and that’s good news as that’s a desperately needed area.
Finally having a president concentrate on saving money and actually doing getting things that he’s supposed to do accomplished is a great thing.
Looks like it’s going to be a Happy New Year!

President Trump Orders Removal Of Islamic Symbols, Practices In The White House! …Do You Support This ?

-

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began preparing the executive offices for the new administration. On Trump’s orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For the past 8 years, to appease any Muslims working at or visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the 5 times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable. The Truth Hurts: The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast. None of the prayers is mandatory or led by a government official, which has allowed the administration to sub...

Maxine Waters Just Attacked Melania Trump, SUDDENLY Everyone Saw What’s Wrong With Her

Donald Trump loves to use Twitter to  attack his opponents  — but he has nothing on Maxine Waters. Her Twitter timeline is a collection of hate and fake news, almost all of which centers on Trump. This week, Mad Maxine decided to attack Trump’s marriage. In the tweet, Waters claims that “Melania can’t trust Trump.” The implication is pretty clear.  She’s calling Trump a cheater.  Like much of what Waters says,  there is no actual evidence to back up her claims  — but her supporters don’t mind. If they cared about facts, they wouldn’t be fans of Waters in the first place. Thankfully, even Democrat leadership seems to be  put off by Waters’ antics . But maybe we’re being too hard Auntie Maxine. After all, she’s the best example of leftist hysteria we have. And the poor woman is clearly jealous that Melania is in the White House. So let’s SHARE her latest attack against the Trumps. That way, everyone can see how desperate and crazy...

President Trump Broke The Largest Crime Ring In The US

-

Liberals have been trying to make Donald Trump look like a racist, closed-minded person for cracking down on deporting illegal aliens. However, it was just revealed that Trump’s actions have actually just rid the U.S. of a massive crime ring. When Trump was inaugurated last month, there was reportedly a massive crime ring with millions of members spread all over the globe all engaged in major fraud against the U.S., with their goal being to steal as many of our tax dollars as they can. The ring involves immigrants from all over the world communicating with each other over informal networks that are somehow also linked together. Through these networks, they discuss things that await them in America like free money from welfare, free education and free health care. Once in the U.S., the illegal aliens get on welfare and immediately start gaming the system, making so much money that they can send a large portion of it back home. In some cases, they are supporting hundreds of people...
