  Secure the rights to life, liberty, property & privacy; eliminate the extreme leftist ratchet:

* repeal vile, hateful, unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare (do NOT replace it)

* block unconstitutional national socialist RyanAndMcConnellDon'tCare

* reform regulation and taxation of charities (differentiate genuine charities from political campaign organizations and crony socialist cabals) and encourage, without subsidizing, mutual benefit associations

* phase out unconstitutional Medicaid & Medicare over 3 years

* phase out the unconstitutional Socialist Insecurity Abomination over 5 years

* end government subsidies for hospitals (and the attached strings)

* end government subsidies for scientific research (except for defense which should cover defense against biological warfare & epidemics)

* revoke the charter of the CFPB and repeal the rest of Dodd-Frank

* repudiate biased, injust WTO, GATS/TiSA

* re-negotiate or statutorily repudiate/reset GATT & NAFTA

* cut federal Department of Educationism back to statistical reporting of graduations, diplomas, degrees, and rates thereof (NCES)

* cut Department of Energy by one-third to one-half

* set normal import tariff/duties/taxes to a maximum cap of 9.875%, and MFN to a cap of 8%, dumping penalties to at most 50%, and fraud penalties to at most 120%, eliminate exemptions to bring back burden to between 40% & 65% of all goods and services imported into USA with the aim of reaching an overall weighted average rate of 8%-12.5%

* adopt honest Country of Origin Label requirement for USA products and all imports to USA, requiring readable percentage of origin content for up to top 10 places of origin of parts & materials

* beef up export bans and restrictions for national security and to fight intellectual property robbery and fraud

  "Of $2.1G spent by the 30 largest federal-election donors from 1990 to 2014, public- and private-sector unions accounted for more than $1G -- and directed 97% of that largesse to [Illiberal Leftists/ Dems/ Reds/ Regressives/ Socialists/ Fascists/ Marxists/ Communists/ Collectivists]. Such one-way spending is at odds with union-member ideology, which aligns 26% [Illiberal Leftist/ Dem/ Red/ Regressive/ Socialist/ Fascist/ Marxist/ Communist/ Collectivist], 44% moderate, & 30% [classical liberal, libertarian, conservative] -- only slightly left of the general population. [Illiberal Leftists/ Dems/ Reds/ Regressives/ Socialists/ Fascists/ Marxists/ Communists/ Collectivists] prize union bosses' Midas-like ability to transform the dollars of a [multi-partisan] work-force into homogenous left-wing support." --- Oren Cass 2018 _The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the ReNewal of Work in the USA_ pp143-144 (citing "Top Organization Contributors" Open Secrets;   Anne Kim & Stefan Hankin 2011 "Union Voters and Illiberal Leftists/ Dems/ Reds/ Regressives/ Socialists/ Fascists/ Marxists/ Communists/ Collectivists" Regressive Policy Institute (pdf))

Matt Palumbo: Dan Bongino: already debunked leftist conspiracy theory being pumped up again despite lack of evidence
Chuck Ross: Daily Caller: McClatchy striving to fan unfounded fable back to life... but Cohen was in California
Peter Hasson & Joe Simonson: Daily Caller: LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman backed propaganda campaigns against Roy Moore & attempts to fake foreign rigging of USA elections
Anna Giaritella: Washington DC Examiner: non-leftists overwhelmingly support president Trump & construction of effective barriers along all USA borders to secure them; if temporary partial federal government shut-down is necessary, so be it
Philip Klein: Washington DC Examiner: judicial reform is perhaps president Trump's greatest accomplishment so far; Republican senators should continue & accelerate confirmations

The illiberal leftists have been waging a PC war on non-leftists, relentlessly attacking for every imagined slight and dishonestly calling them "racists", "homophobes", and "xenophobes".     They've imposed a danger zone mentality on some of us, where we focus less on the little things and more on survival; which is one reason president Trump has so much support.     President Trump has chosen to fight back against what the illiberal left has been doing to non-leftists for decades, now (if not 140 years).     That is why president Trump has a certain loyalty from supporters that other presidents did not have.
    Also, how many times will the media and leftists ramp up this phony Michael Cohen "collusion" story.     The entire Russian "collusion" conspiracy theory is based on the debunked Steele dossier/novel, and a key component of the novel/dossier is that Cohen went to Prague to co-ordinate with Russia.     It turns out Cohen was in California at the time and has a strong alibi, so now it's the big CYA moment for the media to keep the "collusion" conspiracy theory alive.

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel; remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from My people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah..." --- Ezekiel/ יחזקאל/ Yechezqal 45:9-
"Now this is the mitzvoth, the statutes, and the ordinances, which HaShem your God commanded (Moshah/Moses/Musa) to teach you, that you might comply-with/execute/carry-out/fulfill/do them in the land to which you go to possess... Hear, oh Israel; HaShem our God, HaShem is unique. And you must love HaShem your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, must be in your heart; and you must teach them diligently to your children, and must talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the path, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you must bind them like a sign on your hand (so you will often see them), and as a sign on your fore-head between your eyes (so others with you will often see them). And you must write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates (so those who enter or pass by will see them)." --- Deuteronomy/ דברים/ deberim/debrim/words 5-6

  "It takes a long time to become expert in almost any of the crafts that go into making successful careers. Much empirical work has been done on the subject. The most famous is Herbert Spencer's calculation that to become an expert requires mastering enough 'chunks' of material relevant to your field. The number of chunks is usually described as 50K, mastery of which usually requires at least 10 years. So whatever you set out to become good at you will start out producing imperfect results. Even the prodigies are not immune to the need for apprenticeships." --- Charles Murray 2014 _The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead: Dos and Don'ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear Writing, and Living a Good Life_ pg89

  "Instead, the teachers and coaches I met were quiet, even reserved. They were mostly older; many had been teaching 30 or 40 years. They possessed the same sort of gaze; steady, deep, unblinking. They listened far more than they talked. They seemed allergic to giving pep talks or inspiring speeches; they spent most of their time offering small, targeted, highly specific adjustments. They had an extraordinary sensitivity to the person they were teaching, customizing each mesage to each student's personality... They were talent whisperers." --- Daniel Coyle 2009 _The Talent Code_ pg 162

  "As early as the 1790s the incipient American industrial base came to rely on Scottish engineers, mechanics, and workers to set up its cotton mills, maintain and repair its steam-engine pumps, and operate its power looms. A textile worker from Paisley quickly discovered that he or she could work the same hours in a factory in Massachusetts and earn far more money, with a lower cost of living. This is what emigration guide-books meant when they said North America was 'the best poor man's country' because 'the price of grain is very low and the price of labor very high'. In addition, factory owners often employed their Scottish immigrant workers to teach the Americans proper work skills and habits -- which meant a Scottish worker soon found himself managing the factory floor. The confidence in Scottish workers extended to women workers. In 1853 an agent for Hadley Falls Mills in MA recruited 82 unmarried women mill workers from Glasgow, while one in Holyoke Mills hired 67. In a couple months they had earned enough to pay off their entire transatlantic fare and buy themselves some new clothes and shoes. For a Scot in the United States, a factory job was always a stepping-stone to something else, to something better." --- Arthur Herman 2001 _How the Scots Invented the Modern World_ pp334-335
