Consequences of putting a 6th grader in the Oval
Republicans elected him but every taxpayer has to pay. Republicans will pass Trump’s $12 Billion in Federal HANDOUTS. Aid that was denied to Puerto Rico, the poor and hungry.
“When we don’t sell soybeans to China, then that means that Argentina and Brazil are. If there’s an agreement on reducing the tariffs and the Chinese tariff against soybeans from the United States goes away, then what’s going to happen when China is already buying from Argentina and Brazil? How do we get that market back?”
— Sen. Jerry Moran [R-KS]
“We don’t apologize for America anymore. We stand up for America. We stand up for the patriots that defend America. And we stand up for our national anthem.”
— Trump, President of America LAST, Trump’s FIRST
Since March, Jiahao Flag Factory, located in Fuyang, Anhui province, has made approximately 90,000 of the flags for use at Trump campaign events, according to Reuters.
Update: Aug. 5, 2018
REPUBLICAN Sen. Jerry Moran [R-KS] predicted that China would be buying soybeans and soymeal from Brazil and Argentina.
But it’s WORST. China has STOPPED buying ALL soy products including cancelling ALL future contracts!
And it’s happening because of “Stupid” Trump and Wilbur Ross’ Trade War.
- U.S. soybean exports scrapped as China shifts to Brazilian beans, Reuters
- Importers snap up cheap U.S. soybeans as China stops buying, Reuters JULY 12, 2018
- U.S. Unlikely to Replace Loss of China Soy Buying, Bunge Says, Bloomberg AUGUST 1, 2018
- The EU is buying US Soy ONLY because the prices have plunged, Reuters AUGUST 1, 2018
- Argentine soy crushers seen gaining access to Chinese meal market, Reuters AUGUST 2, 2018
The soybean harvest starts in late September - ending in late of November. Coinciding with the midterms. Bad news for Republicans as headlines about soy farmers suffering?
Like this
For example, China is the world's largest consumer of soybeans, gobbling up about 65 percent of all trade of the commodity. The Chinese bought more than $12 billion in American soybeans in 2017, or 57 percent of all U.S. exports of the crop.
It may provide some short-term relief for U.S. farmers and ranchers at a time when net farm incomes are at a 12-year low

A federal judge on Monday ruled that Kansas’ proof of citizenship voter registration requirement was a violation of the Constitution as well as the National Voter Registration Act.
U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson had in previous orders temporarily blocked the requirement, which was championed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Robinson on Monday handed down her decision on merits of the case, which went to trial earlier this year.
Her 100-plus page opinion also knocked Kobach, who defended the law himself in court, for his “history of non-compliance with this Court’s orders,” and imposed “sanctions responsive to Defendant’s repeated and flagrant violations of discovery and disclosure rules.” She ordered he take six hours of legal ed classes.

There have been so many quiet warriors fighting for justice in US history, and she was one who did so much at such a young age (like the #Parkland students are now) to make our country stronger. Rest in peace and power to #LindaBrown, the young girl at the center of the 1954 Brown v. The Board of Education Supreme Court decision that ended school segregation.
Thank you #LindaBrown #RIPLindaBrown
“Sixty-four years ago a young girl from Topeka brought a case that ended segregation in public schools in America,” Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer tweeted Monday. “Linda Brown’s life reminds us that sometimes the most unlikely people can have an incredible impact and that by serving our community we can truly change the world.”
It was Brown’s father, Rev. Oliver Brown, who sued the Topeka school board to allow his daughter the right to attend an all-white school in the Kansas capital city. Four other school segregation cases were combined with Brown’s to be heard by the Supreme Court, but the justices’ unanimous ruling was named for Brown.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Brown. In its decision, the court overturned the 1896 “separate but equal” ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, marking the case as one of the biggest legal victories of the civil rights era. It was due to Brown v. Board of Education that the federal government could force states to integrate schools, allowing children of color the opportunity for an equal education to white children.
“I really think of it in terms of what it has done for our young people, in taking away that feeling of second class citizenship. I think it has made the dreams, hopes and aspirations of our young people greater, today.”

The head of President Donald Trump’s election fraud commission drafted a law as a Kansas official that led to 23 disabled people not having their votes counted in a recent local election.
The disenfranchisement occurred in Sedgwick County and was a direct result of a law pushed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a member of Trump’s voter fraud commission, which requires disabled voters’ signatures on their ballot envelopes. Until Kobach’s Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act passed in 2011, ballots were not tossed if a disabled person’s signature did not exactly match one on file or if someone else signed on behalf of a physically unable voter.
As a result, 23 unsigned ballots from disabled people were tossed in a local election where only 24,120 votes were cast according to deputy elections commissioner Laura Bianco. Some of the races in the county were decided by far fewer than 23 votes.
Calling BS on Bryan Caskey #VoterSuppression
Director of Elections Bryan Caskey, who works under Kobach, said that the November 13 election was the first time he had been made aware that disabled voters’ mail-in ballots were not being counted.

Not exactly a stretch of the imagination. Everything wrong comes out of the South for the most part. They need to be educated and gainfully employed and brought into modern times kicking and screaming. Of course the Republikkkans like their base ignorant.

Trump supporters trying to make America Great Again
Federal investigators said Friday they stopped a domestic terrorism plot by a militia group that planned to detonate bombs at a Garden City apartment complex where a number of Somalis live.
Three southwest Kansas men were arrested and charged in federal court with domestic terrorism, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said at a news conference in downtown Wichita.
The three are suspected of conspiring to set off a bomb where about 120 people — including many Muslim immigrants from Somalia — live and worship, Beall said.
An apartment at the complex also serves as a mosque, officials said.
Curtis Allen, 49; Gavin Wright, 49; and Patrick Stein, 47, were arrested in Liberal, Kan., on Friday morning, Beall said. Allen and Wright are Liberal residents; Stein lives in Wright, a small town just east of Dodge City.
...
The men are members of a small militia group that call themselves the Crusaders, Beall said. The bombing was scheduled for Nov. 9 so as to not affect the general election.
“It is very concerning and very disheartening,” Hussam Madi, spokesman for the Islamic Society of Wichita, said of the planned attack.
“I thank God that they were able to be caught before anything can happen. We don’t need such actions here within our community and within our country.”
The Kansas City Star notes that there were 794 hate groups in spring of 2015 that operated across the US. In the past 18 months that number has risen to 892, an 11% increase.
Gee, I wonder who has been spewing racist hate for the past 18 months that might have encouraged these groups to expand and become more active?
While we had hate groups and attempted bombings in the past, Donald J. Trump’s encouragement of them and his unsubtle cues about which groups they should be terrorizing, has almost certainly made the problem worse.
That’s right. I’m saying Trump’s call to prevent Muslims from coming to the US or his tagging of Latinos as a criminal element function to single them out for violence at the hands of the white extremists. Trump is a more subtle and canny Anwar al-Awlaki of the American far right.
Of course we will be spared all the cliches about terrorism in the case of these men, since although they are terrorists if what is alleged of them is true, they are white. So no one will ask if they are self-radicalized, or if they were influenced by radicals when they visited home, and no one will suggest that their family members should be watched closely or expelled from the United States.
