Chicago has been under Democrat political control for two generations. The murder rate amid black communities is horrific. No-one has done anything to stop the crime and violence and it continues to escalate.
Yesterday President Trump wrote a letter to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot offering assistance from his administration:
continued..
It is likely the offer will be rebuked; and predictably both the governor and mayor will instead ask President Trump to send them more money.
Money will not solve the problem. Hundreds of people are being killed in/around the majority black communities in Chicago because the city and state officials allow hundreds of people to be killed in the community.
If the crimes and killing in the Chicago area were actually unacceptable to the leaders in the Chicago area, they would stop it. Yes, it really is that simple.
If we can maintain enough clear vision to see past the garbage the nation is being fed by the liberal media tv and newsprint shysters, we should be able to clearly see that we are being sold some serious lies as the most critical 2020 elections are approaching. One of the biggest and most distressing of those lies is Joe Biden. Just as Tucker Carlson indicated a few nights ago, the Democrats have no other choice but Biden. And, at the same time, he is precisely what they were hoping to find. He really is just a shell of a man. It’s obvious that the only mind he has left is whatever is pumped to him through his teleprompters. And, the people who are supposed to be reporting our news to us impartially are talking this guy up as though he is truly the spotless rocket scientist his campaigners bill him as. He is a babbling idiot.
‘Touchy-feely Joe’ or Joe, “Gaffes-for-Laughs”, Biden is definitely the Democrat’s desperation toss
I don’t know if anybody remembers this. Most people, anymore, can’t seem to hang on to more than an hour’s history right after it happens. It was the Democratic debate, September 2019. I doubt that Joe Biden remembers much about that night,since it was obvious that Joe couldn’t even remember why he and all those other people were standing at podiums in front of a bunch of cameras and strangers. Nevertheless, it was so cool. One of the questions Joe was asked was his opinion regarding ‘reparations’ (government money—our tax dollars—given to the descendents of slaves we have never personally employed or known). And Mr. Biden dug in and began giving us directions to Mount Eiger and the recipe for a secret, herbal cure for cancer. He went bat-fecal-bonkers. And everybody pretended not to notice (until the next day’s papers came out—and then everybody became momentarily honest, due to the fact that the fix had not been fully assembled yet).
But ‘touchy-feely Joe’ or Joe, “Gaffes-for-Laughs”, Biden is definitely the Democratic party’s desperation toss in the final moments of their 2020 “Give Us Somebody!—Give Us Anybody!” Presidential-Campaign-Tour. There is no way the Democrats could, in seriousness, put forth a disaster like Joe Biden for a presidential candidate—without an absolutely guaranteed fix from all of liberal media (the ‘big six’) and the Hollywood entertainment empire, promising that guarantee being even stronger than what they had prepared for Hillary.
I have maintained from the beginning that somehow the Obamas are going to have something to do with the projected coming Democrat administration. In the unhappy event that Sleepy Joe is actually elected, watch for his vice presidential choice, and more importantly, his choice for Chief of Staff. Then check out his appointments. The hidden agenda will be revealed and you will know who is actually running our country. We need to remember that the Obamas just bought a $15 million home on Martha’s Vineyard. [Remember, they are staunch global warming fans—and so they are of course buying a mansion that sits about an inch above a purportedly rising sea level.]
Joe Biden’s inordinate preoccupation with the private space of women—especially little girls
That house has a helipad, a docking area for all sorts of boats and submarines—and it will be a no flyover zone for everyone including our own military. In other words, they can there meet with whomever and do pretty much whatever they please. But what bond does a relic like Joe Biden seriously have with Barack? Barack is supporting him now. But I don’t think Joe is going to be looked to for too much ‘presidencing’, should he make it past the final eliminator round.
So often, when I am forced to watch and listen to that clown, Biden, I feel close to spewing my lunch all over whatever newspaper or monitor I’m in front of. If ever there were a ‘poser for president’, Joe is that guy. I mean, if he campaigned against himself, both Bidens would lose. Nevertheless, Joe was, on the evening of that above-mentioned debate, asked his opinion of ‘reparations’. And I honestly believe he couldn’t deliver a straight answer for one of two simple reasons:
He couldn’t remember what he might have said in past interviews about reparations and he was justifiably afraid of contradicting himself, or,
[and most likely] He couldn’t remember what he might have said in past interviews about reparations. And he was justifiably afraid of contradicting himself.
Seriously though, the real reason is painfully clear. That, in the very moment you ask a question of Joe, Joe has already forgotten the question. This has been more than solidly documented several times during this, his third stab at the presidency. And people supposedly really want this character to be our chief executive?
In some of my recent articles I’ve discussed Joe Biden’s inordinate preoccupation with the private space of women—especially little girls. Until YouTube takes down the movies of Joe at different press appearances and photo ops, all you have to do is go and search through a shameful thumbnailed list of the videos of Biden’s ‘Roman hands’ wherein he is sniffing hair and very apparently copping feels of the little girls who obviously don’t appreciate his being so ‘friendly.’ But this is today undeniably part of the ‘rank’ and file of what happened to the so-called ‘Democratic Party’ when they, under Jesse Jackson’s brilliant leadership, became the representative organ and umbrella for what he called ‘the Rainbow Coalition.’ Jesse saw that there were a whole slew of weirdos-from-outer-space who did not feel at home in either the Republican or Democratic political parties. So he then, in 1984, developed his own ‘coalition.’
Today we have advanced to a nation full of coddled snowflakes who believe that government is only useful for signing checks
And today you see the fruit (pun perhaps intended) of what he conjured when he went looking for extra voting blocs. Do you want the textbook definition of anarchy? Keep an eye on the rainbow people. “‘Right and wrong?’ That whole thing is racism!” I remember when everybody started using ‘ebonics’ . TV shows then—suddenly—started featuring all sorts of sexual crudity, innuendo, and street language was introduced as a part of children’s communication with other kids their age. My readers will remember when the popular, alleged ‘song’, “Cop Killer” first came out. It was then that the very real devil had no more need of back-masking or disguising rotten words and messages in what growing minds would hear. The Democrats were even then completely fine with that sort of subversive progression.
Today we have advanced to a nation full of coddled snowflakes who believe that government is only useful for signing checks. Today’s brave new world revolves around freebies! And the left uses our tax dollars to prime the pump and make the world safe for themselves (job security for professional politicians). ‘Reparations’ has become a substitute and condensed, leftist term for a bribe, or, “We are willing to pay you in consideration for your vote.” En route to arriving at Joe Biden’s candidacy, other preliminary candidates postured many different promises that were tantamount to that exact notion. They included but were not limited to: ‘reparations’ (a.k.a. ‘MONEY’), loan forgiveness, tax breaks if you are gay, and/or other valuable legislative favors.
But the ugly bottom line is that Biden and his nut-job friends, Pelosi, Schiff, Hillary, Nadler and so forth, and a bunch of lesser Democratic players throughout our country, are all giving praise, rendering obeisance and lending credential to the crowd of wrecking crew whose new behavioral model is a not so bright guy who is advocating for all of his weirdo followers to burn down our nation as they see fit (or as he instructs them to). So, from the fact that they are pushing what appears to be a madman for president. And they’re doing that while visibly supporting the people who have vowed to destroy us. And given the fact that the new left (who can no longer really call themselves Democrats) is thereby promoting anarchy, violence, ungodliness, and bottomless genocide for unborn babies, to boot, how can anyone in their right mind not fight against such a fatal takeover?
It took the Obamas eight years to get this nation totally, racially on the brink of an all-out race battle
We know that the framers have to be rolling in their graves at 50,000 RPM right now. It took the Obamas eight years to get this nation totally, racially on the brink of an all-out race battle. Nearly all that nonsense had died during the Clinton administration. And Michelle and Barack resurrected the whole thing for their party’s profit. The tv’s liberal entertainment empire is keeping Americans fraught with fear while promoting a madman puppet to assume the most powerful office in a world on the edge of falling apart. And of course, the news machine, a.k.a. the swamp, is fully behind all of this—because they want an office on the second floor of the White House, just across the hall from whatever puppet is running the place. [They may be mightily surprised when they find out the hard way that the first thing an autocratic government does is shut down and completely control the media.]
The polls, we are told, have left President Trump so far behind Joe Biden that we just need to throw up our hands in the air and surrender. But given all this confusion, when we look at the facts there can be no confusion. The press and their new presidential hopeful are lying to us so hard, so egregiously, that we can only assume that they are doing one big, evil, final, full-court press in order to guarantee the worst for our future—and financial/power windfalls for themselves. I mean, the left has absolutely given us the unrest and horror that today surrounds us. How much ‘better’ will things be when they finally take complete control of our nation? On that day, a burnt out, touchy-feely Joe will be clutching his teddy bear and smiling from his chair facing the corner. He will be informed that he doesn’t even have to report to that stuffy old Oval Office or show up for any of those boring, confusing meetings. And he’ll be so happy. But he just won’t think to ask why.
Linus of Charlie Brown cartoon fame has his signature blanket. Democrat presumed presidential nominee Joe Biden—who’s been hiding it out in his Delaware basement ever since the Burisma scandal—has a better one: COVID-19.
“Democrats will hold an almost entirely virtual presidential nominating convention Aug. 17-20 in Milwaukee using live broadcasts and online streaming, party officials said Wednesday. ()
From the Clinton and Obama households: “WHOOPEE!”
‘Stay home, suckers, We’ve all but got it in the bag’!
“Joe Biden plans to accept the presidential nomination in person, but it remains to be seen whether there will be a significant in-person audience there to see it. The Democratic National Committee said in a statement that official business, including the votes to nominate Biden and his yet-to-be-named running mate, will take place virtually, with delegates being asked not to travel to Milwaukee. (AP, June 24, 2020)
‘Stay home, suckers, We’ve all but got it in the bag’!
“It’s the latest sign of how much the COVID-19 pandemic has upended American life and the 2020 presidential election, leading Biden and the party to abandon the usual trappings of an event that draws tens of thousands of people to the host city to mark the start of the general election campaign. Not even during the Civil War or World War II did the two major parties abandon in-person conventions with crowded arenas.” (AP)
It’s the era of Barack Obama’s “Great Awakening”, and practically everything “in-person” is being done away with by the get-even-with-Trump-supporters, desperado dirty Dems—especially “in-person” voting.
The biggest Democrat 11th-hour coup is the coming complete MAIL-IN vote.
While the mask-wearing world waits for the second wave of COVID-19—bound to strike sometime between now and October— Michelle Obama, Tom Hanks and other celebrities are putting the finishing touches on a complete MAIL-IN vote, courtesy of their “non-partisan”, “non-profit ‘When We All Vote’ initiative.
It will all come down without a single bang and without anyone ever having to step foot outside their house.
Just like the 2016 election the 2020 election is entirely all about HATING Donald Trump
As smooth going down the gullet as Biden’s favorite frozen yogurt with no one other than the once sovereign Republic getting hurt.
Just like the 2016 election the 2020 election is entirely all about HATING Donald Trump:
“Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said the drastically altered convention won’t be an impediment. “Vice President Biden intends to proudly accept his party’s nomination in Milwaukee and take the next step forward towards making Donald Trump a one-term president,” she said, adding that Biden’s campaign will continue to highlight Wisconsin as a key battleground state.” (AP)
But so much more importantly, what will Joe do to put out the fires now burning America down, Jen?
Will he stop smelling female hair and counting the golden hairs swaying on his own legs when in the swimming pool?
Can we really count on whomever he chooses as his V.P. to wake him up?
The Democrats are not, as they are accused of, hiding anything, including ‘Sleepy Joe’:
“Party Chairman Tom Perez said scaling back Democrats’ festivities is a matter of public health. He sought to draw a contrast with Trump’s push for a traditional convention in North Carolina, clashing with the state’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and public health officials over the details amid the pandemic.” (AP)
“The Republican National Committee has confirmed its official business will be conducted in Charlotte. But Trump has said he plans to accept his nomination in Jacksonville, Florida, because Cooper wouldn’t guarantee Republicans the ability to host a large-scale event in Charlotte’s NBA arena.
“Unlike this president, Joe Biden and Democrats are committed to protecting the health and safety of the American people,” Perez said.”
Make that “protecting the health and safety of the American people,” other than the vulnerable elderly in long term health facilities.
“Besides events in Wisconsin, Democrats plan other events in satellite locations around the country to broadcast as part of the convention. (AP)
“Veteran producer Ricky Kirshner, who has worked on every Democratic National Convention since 1992, will lead production of the convention, including the satellite broadcasts. Kirshner has served as executive producer of the Tony Awards since 2004 and the Super Bowl halftime show since 2007; he’s won nine Emmy awards.”
And delegates planning to head to Milwaukee for the DNC can throw away their balloons, ‘Joe’s Our Guy”, ‘Hillary’s Still Our Queen’ signs because the convention’s being held without them:
“(Bloomberg)—The Democratic National Convention told state delegates to stay home from the gathering in Milwaukee this summer as the party announced it was significantly scaling back its nominating convention due to the coronavirus pandemic. (MSM, June 24, 2020)
“On Wednesday, the party’s convention planning committee told delegates that they should plan to conduct their official convention business remotely.
“Joe Biden, the party’s nominee, will still officially accept the nomination in Milwaukee, but the thousands of delegates who usually pack a convention hall for the week-long festivities will not be there. The committee said it is working to ensure all delegates can cast their votes remotely during the convention.
“It was unclear how many party officials, members of Congress and other supporters would attend the four days of programming.
“The Democrats have taken a dramatically different approach from President Donald Trump and the Republicans, who moved the majority of their convention from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida after Trump told officials in North Carolina he would not abide by social distancing requirements. Despite cases rising in Florida, Trump is planning a three-day campaign event in Jacksonville after minimal party business in Charlotte a few days before.”
The fix, like they thought about with Hillary, is in
Perfect timing for Coronavirus Two, which can be entirely blamed on the president.
Yes, the world is changing in the never-ending aftermath of the pandemic, and as some folks say, “Things will never be the same again.”
You can’t send up either rousing cheers or jeers at an almost completely virtual Democrat convention because no one other than your own family members will ever hear you.
You can’t throw rotten tomatoes, lest you want to hit your own television or computer.
But the not so golden silence of what the Democrats have done and are still doing to America is so loud it’s downright deafening.
The fix, like they thought about with Hillary, is in.
After eight long years of never knowing who Barack Obama really was, and almost four years after he is no longer in the White House, (at least officially) he has at long last outed himself as a textbook-style Conquering Hero.
Obama is the self-identified ‘Architect of the “Great Awakening” in a self-portrait that couldn’t possibly be more clear.
All should Take A Knee and bow down to the Architect of the Great Awakening!
The “Great Awakening” will fundamentally transform the America so many love and admire
The “Great Awakening” will fundamentally transform the America so many love and admire; rid the nation of law and order, starting with police forces, leaving the way clear for predators posing as “peaceful protesters”.
At the same time when people everywhere are giving in to their propaganda-planted fear, it’s prime time for Survival of the Fittest.
“Former President Barack Obama referred to the ongoing unrest around the country, associated with the Black Lives Matter protests, as a “Great Awakening” in his remarks to a fundraiser for former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday. (Breitbart, June 23, 2020)
“Obama said:
“And the good news, what make me optimistic is, the fact that there is a Great Awakening going on around the country particularly among younger people who are saying not only are they fed up with the shambolic disorganized mean spirited approach to governance that we’ve seen over the last couple of years but more than that are eager to take on some of the core challenges that have been facing this country for centuries.”
“…The current wave of protests, ostensibly motivated by outrage at the death of George Floyd, 46, an African American man, in the custody of Minneapolis, Minnesota, police, has devolved into riots and vandalism, with widespread destruction of historic statues and monuments.”
No call from the ‘Architect of the Great Awakening’ for restraint from mob looting and burning; no calls for peace
No call from the ‘Architect of the Great Awakening’ for restraint from mob looting and burning; no calls for peace.
Tragic that at the very same time, Obama has come forward to lead the raging mobs, Republican senators are refusing to back President Trump’s ‘treason’ claim against Obama:
“Senate Republicans on Tuesday distanced themselves from President Donald Trump’s claim that former President Barack Obama committed “treason,” refusing to back up the unfounded allegation that has fueled the president’s revenge campaign against his predecessor. (Politco, June 23, 2020)
“In general, Republicans have shied away from directly criticizing the president’s comments and actions as the November election approaches. In fact, they have heeded Trump’s encouragement to undertake wide-ranging investigations targeting Obama administration officials for their roles in opening up the investigations that have ensnared Trump and his associates for years.
“But accusing Obama of treason was a bridge too far, they said.
“I don’t think that President Obama committed treason,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who is up for reelection this year.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about,” added Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “I don’t have any evidence to believe he committed treason.”
“It’s a silly, comedic thing, and you guys got to stop taking it all so seriously,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who laughed off the question. “I don’t think the former president committed treason.”
“The president speaks for himself,”—Sen. Ron Johnson
“GOP senators avoided echoing those unfounded claims. While many of them are sympathetic to Trump’s concerns about the origins of the Russia investigation, for example, Republicans simply did not want to talk about it on Tuesday.
“I’ve got more important things to worry about,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said.
“Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who is leading an investigation into the Obama administration’s activities during the presidential transition process in late 2016 and early 2017, similarly declined to endorse Trump’s “treason” charge.
“The president speaks for himself,” Johnson said. “I’m looking at the corruption with the transition process, which I think is evidently true. And we just need to figure out all that did happen so that the American people understand it, so hopefully it’ll never happen again. I’m not going to respond to what the president said.”
“Hopefully” is not good enough Sen. Johnson, particularly when the word “hopefully” is coming from the mouth of a self-serving politician.
“In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network on Monday, Trump accused Obama of treason but did not provide evidence to back up the allegation.(Politico)
“It’s a constant refrain from Trump, whose allies have ramped up their attacks against Obama in recent months — accusing the former president of illegally targeting Trump and his associates during the 2016 campaign and the presidential transition period.
“Treason, the only crime specifically defined in the U.S. Constitution, is punishable by death and has rarely been charged in modern times. But Trump has a penchant for accusing his political foes of treason, most notably Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the House Intelligence Committee chairman, who led the impeachment efforts against the president. While presidents often criticize their predecessors, it’s highly unusual for one president to accuse another of treason.”
If “Fundamentally Transforming” America as its seated president, and weaponizing intelligence agencies like the FBI is not treason, then what is?
If “Fundamentally Transforming” America as its seated president, and weaponizing intelligence agencies like the FBI is not treason, then what is?
From the safety of private life as a multi-millionaire from money somehow accrued as a 2-time president and no longer needing his Teleprompter, Obama is now leading the “Great Awakening”.
Obama has taken his oft-repeated “This is Not Who We Are” all the way to “This is Who We Will Force You To Be”—with no advance warning.
Meanwhile welcome to the New World where predators walk zombie-like among us.
It’s become a bold New World where only mob rule will survive.
When the Speaker of the House wants to announce something momentous, her first call goes to Hugh Betcha, Ace Reporter of the Mighty Canada Free Press. Hugh, winner of the coveted Rachael Maddow “Conservative Reporter I Hate Most 2020 Award” and a man respected by both sides of the aisle in Foggy Bottom, was only too happy to oblige. Within two hours of her call, the reporter flew his private jet from Wynstone, South Dakota to Washington D.C. and was pressed into service by the Speaker who was removing paintings from the halls of Congress.
“Here, grab this,” Pelosi told him as she handed down a portrait of a former Speaker of the House from atop a ladder. Hugh obliged.
Our ANTIFA supporters are doing the noble work of tearing down racist statues
“Why are we doing this?” Hugh inquired naturally.
“Because we must erase from our history any last vestiges of racism and some of my forebears had questionable views on race and slavery,” she replied.
“Who determines that?’ Hugh pressed her.
“Well I do, being of impeccable credentials when it comes to racial matters.”
“Why not just let history be history and face the fact that our ancestors were not perfect and sometimes along the way some were a bit unsavory, or prejudiced?”
“No, the time is right, the country is in ferment, our ANTIFA supporters are doing the noble work of tearing down racist statues and—-“
“—-You mean like Ulysses S. Grant, who defeated the Confederate Army and, as President, promoted civil rights for blacks? Hugh pressed her.
“Well there always be some collateral damage…but that is not why I called you here.”
“What then could be worse than tearing down statues, removing paintings of past historical figures and renaming schools all in the name of political correctness?”
“It’s about our past presidents,” she continued, “many were slave owners and it is time for a reckoning. Since we are batting a thousand and have successfully impeached President Trump and our impeachment machine is well oiled, we are going to—“
Pre-death Felony Racism, Pre-death Possession of a Slave
“—Don’t tell me!” Hugh cried.
“Yes we are going take on a new project since we in the House have done nothing useful for awhile. We are going to conduct Post Mortem Impeachment of those dead Presidents who owned or had in their possession a slave.”
“On what charges?”
“Pre-death Felony Racism,” “Pre-death Possession of a Slave,’ and others to be announced. We’ll decide this as we go—just as we did with Trump impeachment. It does all the right things: appeals to the Left wing base of our party, acts as a deterrent to others who may have a desire to own slaves—such as most Republicans—punishes the slaver Presidents ex post facto and will appeal to all right thinking, compassionate Americans.”
“How can they defend themselves now that they are dead?”
“We are considering disinterring them so that they can at least confront the charges—in respectful urns of course, and sitting at counsel table. This shows that we are—“
“—Grave diggers?” asked Hugh in disbelief.
“—No, patriots who are ashamed of our past and the sin of racism. It shows the respect that we hold for the descendants of slavery.”
“So, Hugh continued, you are saying that any former politician, president or public figure who once held racist views should be shamed, his memorials or paintings removed, his namesake buildings or schools renamed and his memory erased from history?”
“Yes, absolutely!”
“Then any such person who once belonged to a secret organization that advocated for the killing of blacks, hanging black men and castrating them, burning down black homes and who promoted the destruction of the black race should be shamed? That sort of person?”
“By all means, yes!” Nancy declared emphatically.
“Then how about Senator Robert Byrd—once the Exalted Cyclops of a Klan chapter—who referred to blacks as ‘race mongrels’? Must we retire his images, rename dozens of namesake Byrd buildings and highways? Destroy his monuments?”
[………Cricket noises………]
“Well?” Hugh demanded.
“He is different,” Nancy replied sheepishly. “He was, after all, a liberal Democrat. His sins may be forgiven.”
CTH has discussed the likelihood of DOJ action against Google previously. Yesterday AG Barr also mentioned in an interview with Senator Ted Cruz that he was likely to have the final DOJ investigation on his desk for a decision within the next few months.
Today Politico is reporting on some of the background DOJ activity which aligns with Bill Barr’s statements and our own research assembly.
WASHINGTON – Justice Department prosecutors expect to file an antitrust lawsuit against Google in the coming months focused on the company’s dominance in online advertising and search, two individuals familiar with the discussions said Friday.
DOJ lawyers and state antitrust officials met online Friday and discussed contours of the expected complaint, according to the people, who weren’t authorized to speak on the record because the investigation is ongoing.
[…] The suit is expected to involve allegations that the search giant has monopolized the advertising technology market. It is also expected to include allegations that Google has taken steps to extend its monopoly over search, such as through contracts with Apple and cellphone makers who use the Android operating system that require it be the default search engine.
The people cautioned that Attorney General William Barr, who did not attend the meeting, has yet to make a final decision on whether to sue, a judgment he could make in the coming weeks. The department would also need to decide what remedy it would seek, such as trying to break up the company or placing limits on its behavior. Whether the state attorneys general would also sign on to the DOJ complaint isn’t yet determined.
Prosecutors are still discussing whether to include other aspects of Google’s conduct related to search, the people said.
A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment. (read more)
Anyone who has spent time on the internet already knows Google manipulates the internet based on their self-defined ideology. In August of 2019 a Google employee and whistleblower came forward with documentary evidence explaining how they do it.
Zachary Vorhies went public with the information in order to help people better understand the scope and scale of Google’s manipulative intent. [Link to Documents]
Among those documents is a file called “news black list site for google now.” The document is a “black list,” which restricts certain websites from appearing on an Android Google product. Not surprisingly CTH is listed on the black list.
On May 28, 2020, after President Trump signed an executive order targeting on-line censorship, CTH wrote a twitter thread about it. There has to be a breaking point where the FCC or DOJ steps in to address these issues, if our constitutional republic is to survive.
[Read Executive Order Here] – In the periphery of this executive action there are indications, and a widespread expectation, the DOJ is close to filing an antitrust lawsuit against Google Inc and their affiliated companies. There is a possibility the controlling ideology of ‘big tech’ is about to merge with legal action by the DOJ.
The DOJ action has not yet happened, but there are signals it is close. There have been visible signals, subtle but visible, the DOJ was/is about to move on a massive (the biggest in history) antitrust lawsuit against Google and all affiliates.
The issue will not necessarily surface as most would think; via a bias based on conservative -vs- leftist ideology in content manipulation; though those underlying aspects are a part of the larger underpinning we will soon see surface.
Antitrust lawsuits, writ large, are based on “prices”, “costs”, and net “financial” distortions caused by corporations not competing based on open commerce. “Antitrust” in it’s structural form is based on costs and the manipulation of prices. Essentially, controlled commerce.
In the digital sphere the targeted firms have not opened themselves to liability based on ideology; but rather Google, all subsidiaries and alliances, have opened themselves to antitrust violations through the manipulation and control of financial benefit.
Demonitization of digital platform content providers, in combination with Google’s control of almost all ad revenue in the digital space, is what has opened the door for DOJ intervention based on antitrust laws…. But will they take action? That’s the question.
Antitrust intervention is warranted because the content being generated on these on-line, digital platforms, is being arbitrarily valued by the media company GoogleAds and not the free market. Devaluing certain content they are ideologically opposed to creates consumer distortions.
Underpinning that revenue control is the ideological nature of the control enforcer, in this example Google. However, for the purpose of antitrust lawsuits, that motive is irrelevant.
The methods, practices and purposeful control of value; through collusion of corporate interest specific to a planned and organized effort to control monetary benefit; is the part of their activity that is quantifiable, discoverable, easily provable, and ultimately unlawful.
The financial distortion of internet commerce is the crack in the Big Tech stranglehold that should afford the DOJ the opportunity to step in. Google (and all subsidiaries) will lose on the substance of their defense because ultimately their business practice has resulted in, and arguably they have engaged in, price fixing.
It will take time, but from an optimistic position if the DOJ take action eventually Google would be forced to settle a lawsuit. There could be a massive financial settlement in addition to a negotiated Consent Decree. Within the decree terms, we could even see a break-up.
Any antitrust action is only tangentially related to President Trump’s previous confrontation with Twitter and big tech social media based on ideological lines. However, it is easy to see how the two issues will merge. The monetary distortions are based on ideology.
As soon as the DOJ takes action Silicon Valley will hold an even larger self-interest in the 2020 election outcome; and they will respond accordingly.
Similar to the well-known “knock out” game, violent black males began attacking random white people as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. The objective is to violently beat any random white person while a friend or ally films the brutality. It is also known as “polar bear hunting’. CTH identified 28 victims in 2014 alone. [Typical Example]
This is part of the BLM Marxist program of retaliation. Sometimes rape, gang sexual assault, or severe brutalization are part of the effort. This activity has laid dormant for a few years but surfaces again with the rise of the Black Lives Matter community.
If the random white person does not accept the beating, they are racist.
The media are allies in this BLM project. Anyone who does not willfully submit to the BLM effort, is castigated as the source of their own brutality.
The latest example in Michigan ends with a familiar sentence: “Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to support a hate-crime charge.”
[Michigan] – Michigan authorities have charged an 18-year-old black man for the “unprovoked,” caught-on-video assault of a white Macy’s manager, officials said.
Damire Palmer, of Mount Morris Township, faces one count of felony assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder for the June 26 attack on the employee inside the Flint department store. Palmer is still in the wind.
“This was an unprovoked attack on a Macy’s employee,” said Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton in a statement. “This behavior as seen on the video is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it cannot be allowed.”
In surveillance video that prosecutors obtained from Macy’s, Palmer walks around the store then approaches the manager from behind and clocks him in the head, knocking him to the floor, officials said.
While the manager is on the ground, Palmer pummels him, the footage shows, according to authorities. Palmer then exits the store with his brother. (read more)

Previous examples ignored by media in the last rise of the BLM movement:
Until we honestly confront the reality of what is taking place we cannot expect to see this trend stop. Every single one of these attacks is identical. A black suspect -usually a youth- a specifically intended random white or asian victim, a random blow to the face/head:
In order to support the most important political objectives of the DNC writ large in the 2020 election, COVID-19 hype is essential:
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily achieve ‘mail-in’ voting; which they desperately need in key battleground states in order to control the outcome.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot shut down rallies and political campaigning efforts of President Trump; which they desperate need to do in key battleground states.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot block the campaign contrast between an energetic President Trump and a physically tenuous, mentally compromised, challenger.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have an excuse for cancelling the DNC convention in Milwaukee; thereby blocking Team Bernie Sanders from visible opposition while protecting candidate gibberish from himself.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have a mechanism to keep voters isolated from each-other; limiting communication and national debate adverse to their interests. COVID-19 panic pushes the national conversation into the digital space where Big Tech controls every element of the conversation.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot keep their Blue state economies easily shut-down and continue to block U.S. economic growth. All thriving economies are against the political interests of Democrats.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily keep club candidate Joe Biden sealed in the basement; where the electorate is not exposed to visible signs of his dementia.
♦Without COVID-19 panic it becomes more difficult for Big Tech to censor voices that would outline the fraud and scheme. With COVID-19 panic they have a better method and an excuse.
♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot advance, influence, or organize their preferred presidential debate format, a ‘virtual presidential debate’ series.
[Comrade Gretchen Whitmer knows this plan, hence she cancelled the Michigan venue]
All of these, and more, strategic outcomes are based on the manufactured weaponization of the COVID-19 virus to achieve a larger political objective. There is ZERO benefit to anyone other than Democrats for the overwhelming hype surrounding COVID-19.
It is not coincidental that all corporate media are all-in to facilitate the demanded fear that Democrats need in order to achieve their objectives. Thus there is an alignment of all big government institutions and multinationals to support the same.
Earlier today President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring Federal agencies to focus hiring on the skills job seekers possess, rather than focusing on whether they earned a college degree. The order requires Federal agencies to revise and update outdated Federal job qualification standards and candidate assessments, improving the quality and competency of the civil service.
The order implements best practices already adopted by private sector leaders to promote equity and inclusion. As a result of this reform, talented individuals with apprenticeships, technical training, and apt backgrounds will have greater opportunity to pursue careers in the Federal civil service.

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Nice to see you. Thank you very much. Busy time.
MS. TRUMP: Absolutely.
THE PRESIDENT: We’re making a lot of progress with the whole situation that came in from a place called China, as you probably know. You probably see. But we have a little work to do, and we’ll get it done. We’re having some very good numbers coming out in terms of the comeback — the comeback of our nation. And I think it’s going very rapidly and it’s going to be very good. But right now, we’re in that process of building.
And it’s an honor that you’re with us today. We very much appreciate it. I’m delighted to welcome members of the Workforce Policy Advisory Board. And I want to thank Ivanka; she works very hard on this board. She works very hard to get jobs. And it’s “Made in the USA” and jobs in the USA.
I saw a group of your people yesterday, having to do with ships. You’re involved in that partnership and it’s fantastic, what they’re doing in Wisconsin. It was really a great day.
The Secretary of Treasury is with us, and he’s worked very hard, and I think he’s got some very good things to say and some pretty big news.
And Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Secretary of Labor Gene Scalia, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and Small Business Administrator — who has definitely kept busy — Jovita. Where is Jovita? Jovita. Good. Jovita Carranza.
Thanks also to Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, who’s done terrifically. Kim — hi, Kim.
GOVERNOR REYNOLDS: Good to see you.
THE PRESIDENT: Nice to see you. Thank you very much.
And Eric Holcomb, Governor of Indiana. And we always recognize Eric because he’s — how tall are you, Eric? (Laughter.) Little — he’s a pretty tall guy. Right? But we have one that’s a little taller. You know where that is? Alaska. You know that, right? You’re doing a great job. We appreciate it.
As well as the CEOs who have signed our Pledge to American Workers: Marillyn Hewson — thank you very much — of Lockheed Martin; Sebastian Thrun of Udacity; and Ginni Rometty of IBM. I want to thank you all. You’ve been really here from — from the beginning, very much from the beginning, and we appreciate it very much.
Together we built the greatest economy in history — and, literally, in the history of the world. Greatest we’ve ever had. The greatest the world has ever seen. And now we have to bring it back because we had to close in order to save millions of lives. We added 2.5 million jobs last month, which was incredible. A number — the largest monthly increase in history and more than double the previous record.
So we’re bringing it back. We had the greatest ever and we had to close it, and now we bring it back. And we start off with 2.5 million jobs in one month; I would say that’s pretty good, Marillyn. Right? That’s the highest ever done.
And then likewise, retail sales surged by nearly 18 percent last month. That was the biggest jump ever recorded. So that’s great.
The stock market is seeing you go back a week — one week. It’s the — saw the best 50 days in its history — best 50-day increase in the history of the stock markets.
Our Pledge to America’s Workers has secured commitments to over 16 million job and training opportunities from employers nationwide. And some of the employers are with us, and they’ve been fantastic.
I want to thank the American people for doing such an incredible job. They understand what’s happening, and they see how fast we’re turning it around. I want to just state that this is Americans of all backgrounds that we’re talking about, to have the chance — we want to get them the chance to learn and to build a successful career. We want to train Americans and we want to hire Americans. So we’re training American and we’re hiring American.
Before the pledge — and this is a very big factor. I mean, we have a — a problem that has about 22 different names, but I’ll just call it “the plague.” But before the plague struck, we had the lowest African American and Hispanic American, Asian American unemployment ever. We had the most jobs we’ve ever had, almost 160 million jobs. We’ve never been in a position like that. Women were thriving. Best numbers ever. And since my election, more than half of those jobs — more than half; first time that’s ever happened — went to women. But now we want to get that all back.
The African American group got hit very hard. The Hispanic American group got hit very hard. Essentially all groups got hit hard, but now it’s all coming back.
To further expand opportunity, I’m taking a bold action to reform the federal workforce. Today I’ll sign an executive order that directs the federal government to replace outdated — and really outdated — it’s called “degree-based hiring” — with skill-based hiring. So we want it based on skill.
The federal government will no longer be narrowly focused on where you went to school, but the skills and the talents that you bring to the job. We want that skill to be there. We want it based on merit. We’ve looked at merit for a long time, and we’ve been able to get that done.
And today’s signing is a very, very important one. I think maybe before I sign, I’ll ask Ivanka to say a few words. And then we’ll go around a little bit, we’ll pick a few people, and then we’ll sign, and we go back to work.
Thank you very much. Ivanka.
MS. TRUMP: Thank you, Mr. President. It’s an honor to have you here. We just convened our sixth meeting of our Workforce Advisory Board, and we got an update on the team’s response to your bold call to action.
First, we’re going to be launching — and Ginni Rometty, in partnership with Tim Cook, spearheaded this group — a massive advertising campaign that directs those that need to reskill, learn a new trade, to secure a job to the resources to enable them to do that. So we’re very excited about the launch of this private-sector-led and driven campaign to match Americans with the training they need, and ultimately the job vacancies that exist.
The advisory board is also creating a series of pilot programs — and Scott Pulsipher and Doug McMillon have been running these groups — where we really think about how we create the resumes of the future and allow people to find job vacancies based on skill — and for employers to connect with those unemployed workers, again, based on skill. So creating a lot more efficiency to that process.
You are once again leading by example here today with this EO signing. As the nation’s largest employer, we are always seeking to recruit and retain the best and the brightest to serve the American people. Last December, you fought for and secured paid leave for every federal worker — this was a first — creating a workplace that reflects our American values of work and family, and helping us retain our amazing talent.
It’s also why you fought so hard this spring, when COVID struck, to secure paid sick leave for Americans employed by small businesses and additional funding for child care providers helping millions and millions of Americans remain employed and providing relief to small businesses across the country. This is going to ensure a faster and stronger recovery.
Today, we’re taking that next step, as you mentioned, in signing an executive order that directs federal agencies to hire based on skills and knowledge, not just outdated degree requirements. This will allow us to better recognize the talents and competencies of all Americans we hire. You built once the most inclusive economy in this country’s history, and you’ll build it again.
Through our Pledge to America’s Workers, the private sector has committed to investing in the training and education of over 16 million American students and workers. And this continues, despite the vast change that — that the plague ushered in.
Companies like Udacity — Sebastian Thrun joins us today — have been leading the way, and they’ve been using their pledge commitment and fulfilling it by providing free tech training to American workers laid off as a result of COVID.
I recently had the opportunity to virtually meet one of the students that went through your program and received your scholarship in conjunction with the pledge, and it was incredible. His name was Tony. He was a lifelong truck driver. He owned his own business. It was a single rig that he had. Through a series of setbacks, the company ended up going under. He signed up for a course in tech, and is now a software engineer, providing for his family, absolutely loving what he does. And there are many, many stories like Tony that hopefully will inspire millions across the nation.
Marillyn Hewson, also an early pledge signer, of Lockheed Martin committed to hiring during the pandemic using virtual technology and other techniques to ensure recruitment processes move forward.
So with more people teleworking and learning from home than ever before, we have a lot to accomplish in the months ahead, and I’m really excited about your effort to extend this working group and to reform our federal hiring practices, as we think about building that inclusive American economy as we transition to greatness.
So, thank you for today. And it’s a pleasure to have you join us.
THE PRESIDENT: Great. Thank you very much, honey. Great job. It really has been. It’s been a labor of love.
MS. TRUMP: That’s true.
THE PRESIDENT: And Ivanka loves helping people. That’s a wonderful thing.
Marillyn, how about starting with you? Thank you.
MS. HEWSON: Well, thank you, Mr. President. It’s really an honor to serve on this policy board. And I must say, I agree with you: Advisor Trump — Ivanka Trump — and Secretary Ross have led us well. We’ve had a great effort over the last several meetings and put forward some strong recommendations that I help- — helped to match the skills together with the jobs that are there. And at Lockheed Martin, we’re proud that this year we’re on a path to hire 12,000 people. And a lot of it is around making sure that we are getting the kind of apprenticeships and scholarships and skills training for them so that they can link up to jobs in our operation.
Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you’ve done a great job. And I got to see it again. I mentioned it — it was so impressive what I saw — the whole group yesterday. It was really great to be there. And I didn’t know you had a big chunk of that one, but you’ve done very well with it, so we appreciate it.
Please, Sebastian. Please.
MR. THRUN: It’s a great honor to meet you. And I want to thank you for keeping us safe and moving us forward. This has been, of course, a vital time for all of us with over 30 million unemployed. It’s our chance to really redefine how education looks like and move into a world where people learn lifelong, have lifelong access, and unfold their livelihoods.
Ivanka was, of course, the visionary behind all of this. And thank you for doing this. I mentioned Tony Boswell — a truck driver who was driving trucks for 10 years, and then his truck broke down, and he couldn’t finance the new engine that he needed. He was unemployed, had no income, no education, and came across, by randomness, a Google scholarship that Udacity launched. And then, in 10 months’ time, was able to become a software engineer.
These are the stories that I believe this nation needs. I think we have so much opportunity, so much potential in this — in this great nation to bring people forward, and I think this is the time to do it.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s a great story. It’s a great story. Amazing story.
Ginni, please.
MS. ROMETTY: Yes. Well, first, Mr. President, thank you for your leadership during this time.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much.
MS. ROMETTY: And you used an important word when you described Ivanka’s contribution here as a “labor of love” because this is something — I think what the team has done collectively will have a very long-term impact, as well as short-term. And we are solving probably — or working towards helping solve one of the most important pro- — programs for growth for the country as well, so — to help anyone from any socio-economic background.
So I really — my hat is off and a thanks to Secretary Ross and to Ivanka for having led us through this. And I think what we have put on the table is substantive change, and I know it is a change to a company like mine.
So as you sign skills first, we’ve adopted that, and 15 percent of our hires last year were people from non-traditional backgrounds. And so it’s a — it’s really what this is all about, I think, in giving everyone a bright — a bright future in the digital era.
So thank you for that.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Ginni. Good job.
MS. ROMETTY: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Eric, go ahead, please.
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB: Well, I’ll just add my appreciation. I mean, what you’re doing today is leveling the playing field. And there’s been a lot of people, a lot of have-nots that will have an opportunity to join the haves. And to — to do it during a time of such challenge, but to recognize the opportunity that’s here, and to do it now — there couldn’t be a more important time.
So appreciate everyone’s effort around this table and your leadership on this front.
THE PRESIDENT: And Indiana is doing very well. I’m hearing good things.
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB: We are. We are moving in the right direction. We are — we’ve got 93,000 unfilled jobs right now —
THE PRESIDENT: Amazing.
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB: — that we need to fill. We’ve ushered in 100,000 jobs in just three and a half years; the previous record was 93,000 in four years. These are high-wage, high- demand jobs. These are $28, north, an hour.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great.
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB: So this is what it’s all about –skilling up the workforce. Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great. Great job. Thank you very much.
Kim.
GOVERNOR REYNOLDS: Well, thank you, Mr. President. And what I so appreciate about your administration is it’s really an administration of action. You identified barriers and gaps, and then you helped bring the right people together to find the solutions and enact those. So thank you very much.
It’s been an honor to be a part of this advisory board. I appreciate how, with the leadership of Ivanka and Secretary Ross, we really have identified the various elements, connected those elements — whether it’s been consistent data, definition, goals, and messaging. And I look forward to really amplifying that in the state of Iowa.
By executive order, I just created an economic task force. I brought several CEOs, business leaders, and nonprofits together to utilize their expertise in the way through innovation, adaptation, and creativity adjusted within weeks to the coronavirus.
And everything that this group has talked about will fold so well into what we’re trying to do at the state level. And when you think about that happening in every state across the country, we really are going to come back stronger and better and really help provide opportunities for every single American.
So thank you for leading it.
THE PRESIDENT: All right. And we see it now, Kim. Next year is going to be, we think, amazing, actually.
GOVERNOR REYNOLDS: Yep. I agree.
THE PRESIDENT: It’s going to be an amazing year.
Larry, would you like to say something?
MR. KUDLOW: Yeah. Thanks, sir. I spoke just before you came, but I’ll just repeat the “V” shaped recovery. Virtually every number is showing a “V” shaped recovery now — private surveys, government statistics, restaurants, home builders, truckers, durable goods makers, Apple mobility and travel, gasoline demand.
As you said, the jobs went up really about 3 million in May. We had tremendous retail sales. Actually, today, in the income report, we had tremendous consumer spending: 8 percent at an annual rate for one month. It’s a great story.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s a great number. Yeah.
MR. KUDLOW: And I still think we’ll get 20 percent in the second half of the year. And if we get another 5 percent in the first quarter of next year, we will be right back to the peak in 2019, where you got us the first time with the growth policies.
And I just want to say: Ivanka, I gave you a big pitch, gave you — did the best I could. Private sector reskilling and retraining — and not only will people come back to the labor force when they’re reskilled; they’ll come back with higher wages, and they’ll come back with more confidence, and it’ll make a huge difference as it already has.
And so I’ve added you to the four pillars of growth. The President —
THE PRESIDENT: Good.
MR. KUDLOW: Tax cuts —
THE PRESIDENT: Good taste.
MR. KUDLOW: — deregulation, energy unleashing, fair trade deals, and private-sector-led reskilling. How’s that, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great. That’s great. And I’m very happy what you said about early next year. I think next year is going to be an incredible year.
Thank you very much, Larry.
MR. KUDLOW: Appreciate it.
THE PRESIDENT: Wilbur, would you like to say something?
SECRETARY ROSS: Yes, Mr. President. Thank you for the opportunity to help Ivanka and the others on this group. I’ve been very, very impressed with the productivity of this advisory board. Most advisory boards create a big, thick book at the end. It goes in the library and nothing happens. This group, every single meeting, there’s a specific, tangible thing that gets filed up and it gets implemented.
So it’s really been a heartwarming thing to see how productive these folks have been, and I congratulate all of them.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you.
Gene, please.
SECRETARY SCALIA: Thank you, Mr. President. And you mentioned the three and a half percent unemployment rate just a few months ago. You did so many things for the American worker during those three years.
You know, back in the summer of 2016, the Congressional Budget Office said that we’d be at 5 percent unemployment in February. They said that, between then and February 2020, they said we’d create 1.9 million jobs; we created 7 million jobs.
So Larry touched on it. It was — it was policies of tax cuts, of deregulation that brought us there, which was just a wonderful thing for the American worker as jobs were being created and wages were rising.
But there was other work going on. And what you see today is a manifestation of other things that were being done that are now going to have their day to really help workers. We — we are coming back. Larry has mentioned some of the numbers. But we know that the training will be important, and we’re fortunate that this really, very extraordinary group — and as Secretary Ross has said, a group that really generated valuable product — they were working quietly to help train American workers.
I spoke earlier about a new apprenticeship rule that we adopted at the Labor Department that I think will be very helpful. This will be an important part of the rebound.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Gene, very much. Appreciate it.
Steve, please.
SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Thank you, Mr. President. Well, as others said, your economic team, working with you, knew how to create jobs and it created an enormous amount. And because of this virus, we had to, unfortunately, shut down the economy.
We know how to reopen the economy safely. Working with Congress, we put $3 trillion in. It’s beginning to work; we see it. And we’re — our work isn’t going to be done until every single one of these jobs is done.
We know we need a few more tools. We’ll go back to Congress next month, but we’re going to get everybody back to work. And I’m confident we’re going to see a strong third and fourth quarter as we reopen.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great, Steve. Thank you very much.
Anybody else would like to say something? Anybody? Anybody? This is your chance. Go ahead. Please.
MS. ROLLINS: Mr. President, I just want to say, as your Domestic Policy Chief, what an extraordinary today — day today is, and here’s why: It’s not just the work of this council and the leadership of Ivanka, it is the executive order that you are about to sign that completely resets the playing field.
The federal government is the largest employer in the country, with 2 million employees. Two thirds of American adults do not have a college degree. Your signature that is recalibrating the workforce away from being degree-only to skillset is transformational.
And the opportunity for you to fight for all Americans — I think about Tony that Ivanka talked about; that Sebastian talked about from Udacity — from a truck driver, to a software engineer, next potentially into the federal government because of this executive order that is focusing on skills, rather than degrees.
Congratulations and thank you for your leadership. It’s extraordinary.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody? Jovita.
ADMINISTRATOR CARRANZA: Yes, President Trump, thank you very much for your strong leadership.
You know, I sit in the audience here as part of a participate — participation of this particular advisory board, and I’m a recipient of the type of programs that you are actually implementing and supporting.
I started out as a box handler in a — in the world’s largest logistics company. And so when I hear everyone talk about the dedication of the workforce and establishing some really comprehensive training, I took advantage of every training opportunity there was in the private sector. And perhaps you’ll see another Administrator similar to me, based on the programs that you’re going to advocate and support.
And because of the public-private partnerships that this administration has enabled — the Paycheck Protection Program, just one example that has fortified small businesses, sustained their viability, and also protected their employees — a baseline of about 60 million employees. And so I thank you again for putting small businesses front and center.
And one other comment. I’m looking at all of these private sector companies — the super leaders in your various sectors. You are the primary contractors for the — the subcontractors that I represent as an advocate for Small Business Administration. So once you reinstate your viability, the small-business sector will then follow soon — soon after.
So thank you again, President.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Jovita. Thank you very much.
SECRETARY DEVOS: Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: Please.
SECRETARY DEVOS: I just appreciate your unrelenting focus on creating opportunity for all Americans, and that begins with opportunities in education. And I so appreciate your leadership there. And it’s been a privilege to be part of this, Ivanka. And, Secretary Ross, thank you for your work here.
We are privileged to carry out your vision in policy and action, as Governor Reynolds said. And thank you for your leadership.
THE PRESIDENT: Choice — how’s that going? Choice. Right?
SECRETARY DEVOS: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s what we want. Please.
MR. PULSIPHER: Yeah, I was just going to say thank you, Mr. President. From a university’s perspective, it’s often perceived as skills versus degrees. But in reality, in a skills-denominated future, it is that tide that lifts all boats. Because even those who possess degrees, they can better articulate the skills and competencies that they now have for the future of work.
And the reality is, too — is that it’s also more fair, it’s more equitable, it’s more prosperous for our workforce because what it really is, is it — it’s now about what you possess and what you can demonstrate, not how you acquired the competency and skill.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
MR. PULSIPHER: And so it just creates much more of an equitable — equitable pathway. And WGU, as a competency-based education provider, has always been focused on how do you articulate the outcomes of achieving a degree in a skills and competency-based way so it’s much more aligned with the future of work. And so it is truly that tide that lifts all boats.
So, this is a huge step in the right direction. So, thank you very much.
THE PRESIDENT: I agree with you 100 percent, I must say. I do.
Okay? Why don’t we sign? And this is a big deal. Congratulations to everybody in the room. This means a lot.
(The executive order is signed.)
Okay. We’ll do that for Marillyn. Who will take this?
(The President distributes a signing pen.)
(Applause.)
Thank you very much. (Inaudible.)
(The executive order is signed.)
Okay. That’s very good. We have pens for everybody. Here, honey. (Applause.) All right. Phase two. Thank you very much.
Well, thank you all very much. We appreciate it. This is really an important day for a lot of reasons. But this is one of them. Thank you all for being with us. We appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.
