This policy of inflating the labor
supply boosts economic growth for investors because
it transfers wages to investors and ensures that employers do not have to
compete for American workers by offering higher wages and better working
conditions.
This policy of flooding the market with cheap,
foreign, white-collar graduates and blue-collar labor also shifts enormous wealth from young employees
towards older investors, even as it also widens wealth gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens,
and hurts children’s schools and college educations.
The cheap-labor economic strategy
also pushes Americans away from high-tech
careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many
who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions. The
labor policy also moves business investment and wealth from the heartland to
the coastal cities, explodes rents
and housing costs, shrivels real
estate values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.

President Trump targets money-grubbing Democrats shackling their voters to hellhole cities
It's about time we had a president shine a light on these race-baiting so-called civil rights icons like Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), whose "own" people live in rat-infested, feces-encrusted, gun-controlled kill zones while he and his fellow third-world thugs amass millions. Cummings is just one in a cabal of looters whose accident of birth endowed them with a skin color that yields a high rate of return.
President Trump cornered Cummings in a series of tweets after the Baltimore slumlord staged an assault on the Department of Homeland Security secretary last week. Cummings's tirade at the congressional hearing included a froth-mouthed, false, and vicious indictment of Border Patrol agents. Trump wasn't about to allow a corrupt, semiliterate third-world grifter to denigrate the DHS secretary and the hardworking men and women earnestly trying to guard our southern border.
POTUS proved for the umpteenth time that Democrats, aided by an irredeemable media complex, can dish it out but can't take it. The usual and unoriginal suspects still have not figured out what happened in 2016. The very best definition of these left-wing dolts is the clichéd definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
Obama's former political hit man and CNN propagandist, David Axelrod, tweeted that Trump's "stream of ugly, divisive bombast" could mean Trump will lose in 2020.
Axelrod must think he's living in an inverted universe, where his favorite Alinsky tactics have been co-opted by a president who has been called "racist" so many times that he, and more importantly, his supporters, don't really give a damn anymore.
Then there's Al Sharpton, who started salivating as soon as Trump's chum hit the headlines. Before he could open his mouth at another rigged press conference inside a Baltimore church, President Trump beat him to the punch, calling Sharpton a "con man who hates whites and cops" and who, incidentally, used to ask Trump for favors before the 2016 election. Laughably, Sharpton said Trump has "a particular venom for blacks and people of color."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi also weighed in from Italy, where, according to reports, she is not exactly visiting the poor and downtrodden. No, Nancy, another congressperson worth hundreds of millions while her constituents defecate, shoot up, and sleep on the streets of San Francisco, was dining at a classy Venetian restaurant as she defended Cummings, calling him "a beloved leader in Baltimore."
Joining Axelrod, Pelosi, and Sharpton in their "kill the messenger" tweets is Chicago's favorite slum lady, Valerie Jarrett, also known as "Obama's brain."
In 2008, the Boston Globe wrote an eye-opening exposé of Jarret's Grove Parc Plaza, a 504-unit Section 8 housing apartment built in 1990. Obama represented the area as a state senator, and his de facto president for eight years, Jarrett, managed the place. Jarrett raked in millions while her tenants lived with raw sewage, rat infestations, lack of heat, and crumbling walls. Jarrett's Habitat Co. also managed Lawndale Restoration, another complex in West Chicago, which accrued 1,800 building violations in 2006. No matter: She was on her way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and Martha's Vineyard. Presently, Jarrett is holed up with the Obamas in northwest D.C.
Decade after decade after decade, American taxpayers have redistributed their wealth to corrupt government "poverty" programs. The city of Baltimore received $1.8 billion of our money under the guise of Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with little to show for it. We have stuffed the pockets of race pimps and their hateful political benefactors as they organize mobs like Antifa and Black Lives Matter to physically attack us.
President Trump can tweet 24/7 about Baltimore and this massive looting by the Democrats of the working and middle classes' hard-earned wages, and it still will not make up for what the swamp-dwellers have done. Quoting the Freedom Center's David Horowitz in his recent speech at the 2019 Western Conservative Summit, "God bless this country for having a president like Donald Trump."
Detroit, Host City for Democrat Debates, Joins Baltimore on List of Top Ten ‘Rattiest Cities’
Detroit, Host City for Democrat Debates, Joins Baltimore on List of Top Ten ‘Rattiest Cities’

Detroit will host 20 candidates for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination on two consecutive evenings of debates broadcast on CNN Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
According to reports recently released by Orkin, the pest control company, the city of Detroit is also host to an extraordinarily high number of rats and bed bugs.
In October, Orkin released its list of the Top Ten “Rattiest Cities” in the country for the one year period ending September 15, 2018, and Detroit was rated the sixth “Rattiest City” in the country, even worse than Baltimore, which was rated then ninth “Rattiest City” in the country.
Detroit joins Baltimore as a pest “double-threat” city. Both cities are also on the Top Ten list of “Bed Bug Cities.” For the year ending November 30, 2017, Orkin reported that Baltimore is number one on that list, while Detroit is number seven.
Democrats have run Detroit since 1962, the year the last Republican mayor left office. Similarly, Democrats have run Baltimore since 1967, the year the last Republican mayor left office in “Charm City.”
Local media outlets in Detroit have documented the city’s rat problem extensively.
In April, Detroit’s Fox 2 reported that “some bus riders say waiting for the city bus near Grandview and Grand River can be a frightening experience.” The report continued, saying:
“How can you catch the bus and you got rats running right there. The rats be running across your feet and it’s nasty out here,” said bus rider Ernest Williams.A Fox 2 viewer sent the Problem Solvers Unit a video of the rats at the bus station. He would not appear on camera, however, says he has contacted officials at the Detroit Department of Transportation before, but has not seen any improvements.“No excuse. If you want people to come here, you should want it to be clean,” said bus rider Derrick Hall
The Detroit News reported that “the Metro Detroit area’s position on the list is up one space from the previous year.” In 2017, Detroit was number seven on the “Rattiest Cities” list.
Even PETA, citing the recent Orkin report, has publicly stated Detroit has a huge rat problem, saying:
The national animal rights advocate group PETA is weighing in and getting involved in the issue.The group plans to run a billboard featuring a sloppy person, trash and rat with the words, “You Dirty Rat. Cleanliness Is the Humane Way to a Rat-Free Home.”The billboard portrays people as the cause of the city’s rat problem. The group says its website offers practical, inexpensive and effective ways to discourage rats instead of poisoning them, which PETA says would only lead to an influx of more rats.“There’s no need to be cruel to rats, who are intelligent and affectionate little animals who form close bonds with their families and friends, have been shown to enjoy playing and wrestling, and even giggle when tickled,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “Killing these animals doesn’t stop more rats from moving in, so PETA suggests that homeowners and building managers rat-proof buildings, that cities improve trash collection, and that residents do their part by not littering.”
President Trump’s tweet on Saturday criticizing Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for ignoring his Baltimore district’s rat and rodent problem has changed the focus of the national debate to Democrat mismanagement of cities they have run for decades.
While the CNN moderators of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidate debates in Detroit on Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to ask the candidates about President Trump’s criticism of Cummings, it is not at all clear that they will use those criticisms for the purpose of asking about the failed governance of major cities in the United States by Democrats for the past half century.
Carson: Trump’s Baltimore Tweet About Spending Some Time Working More for People ‘Who Are Suffering’
Carson: Trump’s Baltimore Tweet About Spending Some Time Working More for People ‘Who Are Suffering’

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” HUD Secretary Ben Carson explained the motivations behind President Donald Trump’s tweets criticizing Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for the conditions of the city of Baltimore that have existed under Cummings’ tenure.
Carson, who practiced neurosurgery in Baltimore, said he was familiar with the problems of the city. He also said he did not think Cummings and Trump were bad people but that he thought Trump was questioning Cummings’ priorities.
“Well, first of all, you know, as a pediatric neurosurgeon, I spent many hours, sometimes operating all night long trying to give children of Baltimore and other places around the world a second chance at life,” Carson said. “And usually, we were successful. But a few days later, I was in a horrible dilemma, because some of those kids had to go back into homes in East Baltimore that were infested with rats and roaches and ticks and mold and lead and violence. And I didn’t want to send them back. Sometimes I would even consider, you know, extra tests so they could stay in the hospital an extra day or two. But now, fortunately, God’s given me an opportunity to do something about it. And that’s one of the reasons I’m delighted to be in this administration. You know, while I was there, I worked on a lot of issues with many politicians, including Elijah Cummings, particularly in terms of childhood education and improving the life for the people.”
“I don’t think Elijah Cummings is a bad person,” he continued. “I think he actually is working hard to try to help people. And I certainly don’t think President Trump is a bad person. He’s working very hard – in fact, I asked him today, would you be willing to work with Elijah Cummings to bring some relief to the people of Baltimore? He said he would be happy to. But in the meantime, he’s going to continue with the programs, you know, like the opportunity zones, which get people to take money and invest it into the areas that are distressed. There are 149 of them in Maryland. And, you know, Governor Hogan is doing a good job of helping to capitalize upon that. But, also, you know, unemployment is at a very low level. Manufacturing is coming back. Wages are going up, you know, prison reform. All of these things are happening. These are not things that a person who is a racist would do. And we allow ourselves to be distracted by these things.”
“And I think what President Trump was trying to say is that rather than spending your time talking about, you know, our brave border agents and investigating endlessly things that you can’t find anything on, why not spend some time working more for these people, you know, who are suffering?” Carson added. “And that he is willing to work with them. I think that’s what we should be asking for.”
