General John Kelly Trump's New Chief of Staff

This is a "tweet" executive order that President Trump should override. Hopefully General Kelly will help.




Fox News


President Donald Trump replaced Reince Priebus with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly as White House chief of staff. He is a retired Marine Corps general.

The shift at the top of the White House hierarchy is aimed at bringing order to an administration that has been beset by infighting, as Mr. Trump seeks to notch the sort of sweeping legislative victories that he promised during the campaign but that have eluded him to this point, advisers to the president said.

“John Kelly will do a fantastic job. Gen. Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody,” Mr. Trump told reporters Friday.

Mr. Trump discussed bringing in Mr. Kelly with a small group of people, the senior official said. Part of the draw, the official said, was that he believes Mr. Kelly can provide effective leadership and has the respect of the West Wing, which is staffed with aides whose ideology falls across the political spectrum.

Mr. Priebus told The Wall Street Journal he submitted his letter of resignation on Thursday. In an interview later with CNN, he said Mr. Trump “obviously wanted to make a change, and I offered my resignation, and he agreed. And we moved on.”

He said he and the president discussed naming Mr. Kelly as his successor and said Mr. Trump “knows intuitively when things need to change.”

Editor Note:

President Trump should have replaced his chief of staff sooner. Because he hesitated on replacing staff that argues too much the white house staff has not been effective as it could have been.

In fact I would say it has been not great but below average.

Trump's tweets are not the way he should run his administration.

Some of his tweets are just stupid others are ok.

Someone needs to edit his tweets or he just needs to stop tweeting his thoughts before he makes more mistakes tweeting himself into a stupor that the fake news media feeds on.

I am a Trump supporter but I have never agreed with many of his tweets that just make him look less presidential and settled.

If Trump's tweets can be monitored and edited before he sticks his foot in his mouth maybe his administration can get something done other than a tweet that says:

Great, wonderful, big, huge etc etc etc.

Mr president while you are making staff changes I suggest you look into the mirror and replace the urge to tweet your thoughts that sometimes get you in hot water and make you less effective. Lets make America great again, stop the tweets!

5.6% Unemployment Is A Big Lie

5.6% Unemployment Is A Big Lie

Jim Clifton

The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed.

That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed.


There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.

 I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it."

Americans aren't "feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives.

(What you hear, read and see via the "state run media" is a BIG LIE! Jim Clifton, chairman and CEO of the Gallup poll company wants you to know the truth.

The obama regime lies about the employment rate and the "state run media" backups him up by just reporting the BIG LIE about unemploument!) Story Reports
