Trump was right to bring up Katrina in Puerto Rico

Like the race card and the gender card, the Katrina card is the latest distraction from the left.  I guess it’s better to play these cards than to explain Obamacare premiums.
As expected, Democrats began to say Puerto Rico is “Trump’s Katrina,” as Joseph Curl reminded us:
President George W. Bush lost much support from Americans after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans the summer after his re-election, and critics complained that he was slow to respond. (He wasn’t: State and local officials said they had the situation in hand, and by the time it was clear they didn’t, the federal response to catch up looked insufficient.)
On Saturday the Trump Haters finally got on the same page: Forget Russian collusion, forget James Comey killing Hillary Clinton’s campaign, it’s time to hype the devastation in Puerto Rico as worse than Katrina.
And so Puerto Rico became the latest Katrina opportunity.
The Democrats’ cynical ploy did not work against Governor Perry of Texas during the hurricane of 2008.  Why?  Because Governor Perry and Texas were on top of the job and successfully dealt with the crisis and the recovery.
It did not work in South Florida or Houston recently, because a state governor and local government acted promptly and successfully.
They tried it in Puerto Rico to some extent because of race.  They wanted to show that Trump was more concerned with whites in Texas and Florida.
Again, it didn’t work because the Puerto Rico recovery has been successful, especially given how difficult it is to bring provisions to an island 1,000 miles from the U.S.  Unlike with south Florida and Houston, there are no highways to Puerto Rico.
So the Katrina card goes back into the deck.  It will stay until another Republican president has to deal with a hurricane.

Irrational Democrats headline the party

Back in 2005, I pointed out that George W. Bush was the luckiest man in the history of the republic.   

Why? His enemies were liberal Democrats. They usually overreached. They couldn't shut up or control themselves. 

Last but not least, they hated Bush so much that they became irrational.    
Change Bush for Trump and we see that irrational Democrats back at work.    

Let's talk about Stephen Colbert, a fellow who used to be a comedian but now has become a spokesman for anti-Trumpism.    

The New York Times reports that Colbert recently used profanity to describe President Trump's soul.   Is that supposed to be funny?   Is that satire?



2005: Remember when Pres Bush proposed Social Sec reforms?

Back in 2005, Pres Bush gave the first State of the Union of his second term.  He spoke about the amazing Iraqi elections and Social Security reforms.

It turns out that Pres Bush was right.  Social Security had looming $32 trillion shortfall in August 2016.    That's a lot of money!

I think that it may be a good idea to reconsider Pres Bush's 2005 reforms!   

Sooner or later, a US President & Congress will have to deal with Social Security or other programs.   In this case, the sooner the better, specially for those of us who believe in saving the program.
