Hillary Clinton Favorable at All-Time Low to 36% … Bill Clinton Down Five Points to 45%
BILL AND HILLARY HAVE ALL THE LIBERAL MSM GUSHING FOR THEM AND THEIR FAVORABILITY IS FALLING …
According to a recent Gallup poll, Hillary Clinton’s favorability rating has dropped to a new low of 36%, while her unfavorable rating has hit a new high of 61%. Imagine that? While the liberal MSM, the LEFT, the Never-Trumpers and the establishment GOP have continuously attacked President Trump, the Clinton’s have generally gotten a pass. Except for by the People who know the real story. This will only get worse. When the liberal media is forced at some point to report negatively on Hillary, she will be finished. In the era of “#Me Too,” Hillary Clinton has much explaining how she looked the other way and enabled her husband’s philandering ways.
Hillary Clinton’s image has declined since June and is now the worst Gallup has measured for her to date. Her favorable rating has fallen five percentage points since June to a new low of 36%, while her unfavorable rating has hit a new high of 61%.
Clinton’s prior low favorable rating was 38% in late August/early September 2016 during the presidential campaign. She also registered a 38% favorable rating (with a 40% unfavorable rating) in April 1992, when she was much less well-known.
The current results are based on a Dec. 4-11 Gallup poll. Clinton’s favorable rating has varied significantly in the 25 years Gallup has measured opinions about her. Her personal best was a 67% favorable rating taken in a December 1998 poll just after the House of Representatives voted to impeach her husband, then President Bill Clinton. She also had favorable ratings in the mid-60s during her time as secretary of state between 2009 and 2013.
Since losing to Trump, Clinton’s favorable ratings have not improved, in contrast to what has happened for other recent losing presidential candidates. In fact, her image has gotten worse in recent months as Democratic leaders, political observers and Clinton herself have attempted to explain how she lost an election that she was expected to win. Meanwhile, controversy continues to swirl around Clinton given continuing questions about the fairness of the 2016 Democratic nomination process and her dealings with Russia while secretary of state. There has also been renewed discussion of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s handling of past sexual harassment charges made against Bill Clinton in light of heightened public concern about workplace behavior.
Senate Passes $1.5 Trillion Tax Cut Early Wednesday Morning … Pending Procedural House Vote … Trump To Sign This Afternoon
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TRUMP AND THE GOP …
Early Wednesday morning, the U.S. Senate passed the 1.5 trillion tax cut bill. It will be sent on to the House Wednesday for a vote and then off to President Trump this afternoon for signing. The Senate vote was along party lines, 51-48, with not one Democrat voting in favor of the bill. That is correct America, not one Democrat wanted to give the American people a tax cut. The House passed The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 227-203 on Tuesday where 12 Republicans and all Democrats voted against the bill.
Sadly. the LEFT is more worried about their resistance to President Trump than they are in giving a tax break to the American people. Like it for not Democrats and the liberal MSM, this is a huge win for President Trump. We shall see what these fake, skewed polls look like when the American people see a change in their pay checks in February. As stated at The Weekly Standard, “The tax bill may be polling poorly as it heads to Trump’s desk, but he and the Republican party head into next year’s midterm election cycle with a substantive legislative accomplishment they can argue is helping boost the economy.”
The Senate passed the GOP’s $1.5 trillion tax cut early Wednesday morning, leaving just one technical hurdle and President Trump’s signature as the final steps before the president’s top legislative priority becomes reality.
There was little last-minute drama in the Senate where the final tally was 51-48 – hardly different from the original version that cleared the Senate earlier this month.
Not a single Democrat voted for it, just as none in the House voted for a similar bill earlier on Tuesday.
Moments after the measure passed, Trump was quick to voice his approval and said if the House succeeds in a final re-vote Wednesday morning, there will be a White House news conference at 1:00 p.m.
‘The United States Senate just passed the biggest in history Tax Cut and Reform Bill,’ he tweeted just after 1:00 in the morning. ‘Terrible Individual Mandate (ObamaCare)Repealed. Goes to the House tomorrow morning for final vote.’
From The Cato Institute: Final Tax Bill: Biggest Cuts for the Middle.
The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) has released its distributional analysis of the final Republican tax bill. The bill provides even larger percentage cuts for middle earners than previous versions of the legislation.
If the legislation is enacted, higher earners will pay an even larger share of the overall income tax burden than they do now. Our highly “progressive” income tax will be even more progressive. That approach is counter to sound fiscal governance and undermines the growth potential of tax reform, but that is what Republicans are delivering.
Looking at JCT’s table for 2019, second column, the percentage cuts are roughly similar across income groups from $20,000 to $1,000,000. But the JCT table slants the results by including payroll and excise taxes. The table under-measures the percentage cuts to the middle compared to the top.

The Black Unemployment Rate Lowest in 17 Years Under President Donald J. Trump
SO YOU MEAN ITS TRUMP AND NOT OBAMA WHO PUT BLACK AMERICA BACK TO WORK AGAIN?
As per CNS News, the unemployment rate for black Americans is the lowest it has been since the year 2000, at 7.3%. It was not Barack Obama, but President Donald J. Trump who has resided over the lowest black unemployment rate. And the liberal MSM refuses to report on such positive marks for the president. Had Obama done this, they would have been carving is likeness into Mount Rushmore. Under Donald Trump, this is what happens when you make the entire economy is made whole, all benefit from it. We reported earlier that the US economy has been A Tale of Two Presidents, Donald Trump, who is putting America back to work and Obama, the Food Stamp president.
Think Democrats are not scared that Trump may get more of the black vote in 2020? No wonder why they never give him credit for what he has done as president. Its all been a distraction.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics( BLS), the unemployment rate for black Americans is the lowest it has been since the year 2000, 17 years ago.
In November, the national unemployment rate for black Americans, ages 16 and over, was 7.3%.
The last time it was 7.3% was in the year 2000, during the months September, October and November.
During the Bush and Obama years (2001 -2016), the black unemployment rate fluctuated between 7.7% and a high of 16.8%.

Making America Great Again … Dow Jones Rises 5,000 Points in a Year for the First Time Ever
OF COURSE THE LIBERAL MSM, DEMOCRATS AND THE LEFT WILL TELL YOU TRUMP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS …
President Donald Trump made the DOW great again. As reported at CNBC, the Dow Jones industrial average is up more than 5000 pints in one year. This is the first time in the 121-year history of the Dow that this has ever happened. Of course it is just coincidence that this occurred with Donald Trump as President. The Dow is currently at a record high and soon will be over 25,000 when the Tax bill is signed later today.
The Dow Jones industrial average just did something it has never done in its 121-year history.
The 30-stock average is now up more than 5,000 points in a year, marking its biggest annual-points gain ever. This following a 140-point rally Monday which sent it to an all-time high.
The Dow also notched a record close for the 70th time this year, which is another milestone. To put that into perspective, it means that about one of every four trading sessions this year has been a record close for the index.
The Dow, along with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite, has had a banner year, rising 25.5 percent. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are up 20.2 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively.

Democrat Double Standard: Al Franken Urged to Reverse his Resignation by Some Democrats
WE TOLD YOU SO … DEMOCRATS ARE ALL FOR ATTACKING GOP CANDIDATES, BUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ABUSE IS OK IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT …
Wasn’t it just last week that Democrats were calling for the head of GOP Senate candidate in Alabama Roy Moore? Now according to The Politico, at least four senators are urging Al Franken to reconsider resigning, including two who issued statements calling for the resignation two weeks ago and said they now feel remorse over what they feel was a rush to judgment. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) might want to look up the word hypocrite in the dictionary, he might just see his picture. Talk about your double standards. We told you when Alabama voted in Democrat Doug Jones into a deep Red state because of the sexual misconduct allegations against Moore, that had the roles been reversed Democrats would never have voted in a Republican in a deep Blue State. WOW, that didn’t take long. Now Dems are clambering for Franken to stay.
I would ask the question, who thinks if the rolls were revered and last nights election was in say Massachusetts, New York, California, Vermont, Illinois or any other deep Blue Democrat states … would the Republican have won? I doubt it very much.
At least four senators are urging Al Franken to reconsider resigning, including two who issued statements calling for the resignation two weeks ago and said they now feel remorse over what they feel was a rush to judgment.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who urged Franken not to step down to begin with — at least not before he went through an Ethics Committee investigation — said the Minnesota senator was railroaded by fellow Democrats.
“What they did to Al was atrocious, the Democrats,” said West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin in an interview for POLITICO’s Off Message podcast to post on Tuesday. Subscribe here.
Franken’s unusual timeline — in his departure announcement he said he’d go “in the coming weeks,” without setting a date — has fed the fleeting hopes that there’s still time to reverse course. However, Tina Smith, Minnesota’s Democratic lieutenant governor, was named last week as his appointed successor.
