ALEX ACOSTA APPOINTED SECRETARY OF LABOR AFTER A 100 DAY HOLDUP

            Finally after 100 days since President Donald Trump was elected to the office of President of the United States the Democrat party, led by Congressional minority leader Nancy Polisi, (D-CA), and Senate minority leader Charles “Chuck” Schumer, (D-NY), finally relented and allowed the confirmation of Trump’s last cabinet nominee Alex Acosta, as Labor Secretary.

            What problem the Democrats had with taking so much time to confirm Acosta is a mystery. Yet it may not be such a mystery after all; it may only be “pay-back” time by the Demo’s after the Senate put Obama’s Supreme Court nomination on hold until a new president was elected.

            But Acosta’s brilliant background can’t be challenged as to his qualification for the job. As a Harvard Law graduate he progressed as a renowned attorney having served previously in government. He has been appointed to numerous positions requiring exceptional legal work regarding labor relations, appointed a judge of the United States Third District Court of Appeals and also served as Dean of the Florida International College of Law. These are just some of his accomplishments.  

            Not bad for a kid born in Miami, Florida of legal immigrant parents who fled Cuba at the prosecution of the Castro regime.

            But taking so much time in confirming Trump’s cabinet members has put a hamper in concentrating on “the people’s business.”

            As far as “the people’s business” is concerned the Democrats seem to care less.

            In comparison Barack Obama had his cabinet confirmed within a week of his election as President. It must be remembered the Republicans were less than thrilled when Obama took office. But instead of playing obstructionists they came together with the opposite party to confirm his cabinet picks believing the interest of the American people came first.

            Unfortunately the Democrats thought differently when it came to Trump’s nominations even though these new cabinet members all had superior backgrounds compared with Obama’s choices.

           

But even with the obstructionists efforts to derail Trump he has masterfully initiated a series of executive orders to get America again moving on the right track.

            Putting America first the new president signed orders eliminating Obama’s restriction of the coal industry, calling both Mexico and Canada to the table to renegotiate the NAFTA treaty that nearly destroyed the United States lumber and diary industries, putting together a tax reform bill that will reduce the tax burden on the middle class of the American people by cutting nearly in half the tax rate, putting Russia and North Korea on notice that the United States is no longer being led from behind and several other improvements of our foreign policy and much more.

            And Trump apparently hasn’t finished with Iran or North Korea yet. If any message was sent the Iranians should take a closer look at what our military did dropping the Mother Of All

Bombs on Syria!

            But one man alone can’t do it all without cooperation. And the cooperation from the Democrat’s is sadly lacking.

            Those in the Democratic party have refined obstruction to the level of an art form! These misfit leaders of the Democrat party as Schumer and Polisi have done everything possible to interrupt or derail all the efforts of the new president. If they choose to call themselves as true Americans they miss the boat by a long shot. They are obstructionists whose main interest is to impose their own brand of socialistic leadership and continue to lead the United States as third world power. And that is exactly where Obama and his stooges took us.

            When Trump said he wanted to “drain the swamp” the people cheered. As far back as most people can remember following Ronald Regan as president, the country has continued a steady decline. But one thing Trump didn’t count on was the enemies within his own party who are apparently still upset that this “outsider” has taken hold of leadership and is actually doing what he promised.

            But the swamp is deep and muded by corruption that seems to be the main stay of today’s political representatives. The only difference is the Republicans seem to be a bit slower at adapting to the mess than their Democratic colleagues! However being the “professionals” they are sure it shouldn’t take too much time to catch up.

            But the President isn’t noted to be a quitter. He has continued to make slow progress even though the majority of the “press” continues to hammer him with slanted news coverage.

            The real test will come after two years. With the mid-term elections looming a lot of current congressmen and senators who are standing in the way may be sitting on the bench looking for a new job. If Trump continues to initiate his new economic and foreign relations programs things might swing towards the Republicans. However, as noted, those of his own party had better begin to think of the American people first rather than their personal welfare. Elections have consequences.

            It’s refreshing to have a President that isn’t afraid to say the job is a lot more than expected. Does that mean that Trump is apprehensive? Not a bit. Being the man he is he will most likely take the bid in his teeth and push on. It has been a long time since the United States has had a president that actually told the truth and put America first!
