Republicans tout their skills as economic managers, but in fact the leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination have all been losers as economic managers.
Scott Walker’s Wisconsin now ranks 35th in private-sector job creation.
Chris Christie’s New Jersey now ranks near the bottom of all states in job growth, and has suffered nine credit downgrades.
Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana ranks near the bottom of all states in family income, education, and violent crime.
Carly Fiorina as CEO of Hewlett-Packard drove her company’s stock price into the ground, while also firing 30,000 workers.
Donald Trump walked away from four bankruptcies, including Atlantic City’s Trump Plaza whose abrupt closing left over 1,000 people jobless.
Am I being too harsh?

What a charming & bucolic scene in the occupied West Bank. The Guardian-UK caption reads: "Israelis cool themselves in a water spring located near the Jewish settlement of Givat Ze'ev in the West Bank, north of Jerusalem....Temperatures in parts of Israel & Palestine rose to 50 degrees Celsius as a heat wave visits the region."
We're going to be seeing a lot of this romantic rubbish as Israel's settlement projects expand & Zionist settlers become more belligerent against Palestinians--like torching mosques, tearing up olive trees & poisoning water wells on Palestinian lands--like torching homes where Palestinians sleep & killing baby Ali & his father Saad Dawabsheh. So we better get a grasp of what's going on.
Givat Ze'ev, founded in 1982, is one of the largest Israeli settlements in the West Bank with a population of around 15,000 & development plans to expand to 25,000 in the next five years. It's built on 2,000 acres of confiscated Palestinian land with maps for further expansion. Palestinian analysis of the expropriation plans determined that expansion of settlements & the road being built to facilitate travel between Jerusalem & Tel Aviv would confiscate prime agricultural land, including 30,000 olive trees, which 24,000 Palestinian villagers depend on for livelihood. The plans also include annexing several Palestinian villages & displacing residents into refugee camps.
Since it's only a 15 minute drive to Jerusalem, Givat Ze'ev is a desirable location. Housing plans & sales are being marketed especially to English-speaking orthodox Jews making aliyah to Israel. Aliyah is the fundamental tenet of Zionism, sanctified in Israel's Law of Return, that claims all Jews--who've been living all over Kingdom Come for 3,000 years--have a legal right to immigrate, settle, & become citizens of Israel--forcibly expropriating & displacing Palestinians. It's kind of like Irish-Americans laying claim to the Rhineland from whence their Celtic ancestors came 3,000 years ago.
For Israel, the settlements serve two purposes: the expansion of a Jewish-only state (necessarily entailing the displacement of Palestinians) & secondly, it solves the housing problem within the confines of Israel. Not just that rents are too high in Israel for residents but affordable housing cannot be built, including for those doing aliyah, in a society that prioritizes military expenditures.
The US occasionally plays lip-service to international law by objecting to the illegal settlements but it consistently flouts it by vetoing resolutions in the UN Security Council condemning the settlements. The US government also provides relocation money & language courses to learn Hebrew to Zionist settlers from the US. If Obama is judged by deeds & not words, his regime is up to its eyeballs in the expropriation of Palestinians.
The only effective response to Israeli settlements is to build the economic, cultural, & academic boycott of Israel (BDS).

BEYOND BELIEF> CANADA
CBC News has learned that 16 Canadian lakes are slated to be officially but quietly "reclassified" as toxic dump sites for mines. The lakes include prime wilderness fishing lakes from B.C. to Newfoundland.
Environmentalists say the process amounts to a "hidden subsidy" to mining companies, allowing them to get around laws against thedestruction of fish habitat.
Lakes proposed for use as mine tailings ponds:
Since theintroduction of Schedule Two of mining effluent regulations under the Fisheries Act, in 2002, 16 lakes have been proposed for reclassification as tailings dumps. 
Four of the 16 are already being used as dumps — all in Newfoundland. Two of those are at the Duck Pond Mine and the other two are older mines due to be brought under Schedule Two retroactively.
Only one of the 16 — Kemess North in B.C. — has been turned down. Eight are to be decided in the coming year.
B.C.:
■Kemess North - Duncan Lake - REJECTED.
■Kutcho Creek - Andrea Creek.
■Ruby Creek - Ruby Creek watershed.
■Prosperity - Fish Lake.
■Red Chris.
■Mount Milligan.
Manitoba:
■Bucko Lake.
Newfoundland and Labrador:
■Duck Pond Mine - Trout Pond and Gill's Brook.
■Carol Mine - Wabush Lake.
■Wabush Mine - Flora Lake.
■Long Harbour - Sandy Pond.
Northwest Territories:
■Winter Lake.
Nunavut:
■Doris North Project - Tail Lake.
■Meadowbank - Second Portage Lake.
■High Lake.
Under the Fisheries Act, it's illegal to put harmful substances into fish-bearing waters. But, under a little-known subsection known as Schedule Two of the mining effluent regulations, federal bureaucrats can redefine lakes as "tailings impoundment areas."
Donald Trump has opened the floodgates to lies about immigration. Here are some trumped-up myths along with the facts.
1. MYTH: Immigrants commit lots of crime. FACT: Immigrants don’t commit much crime. Incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants, especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population, according to the Justice Department.
2. MYTH: The number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is soaring. FACT: The number of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. has declined from 12.2 million in 2007 to 11.3 million now, according to Pew Research Center. Which means the net rate of illegal immigration into the U.S. is less than zero.
3. MYTH: Most new immigrants are from Mexico. FACT: More people now immigrate into the U.S. from China and India than from Mexico, according to the Bureau of Immigration. The Latin American immigration boom is ending, and the Asian immigration boom is just beginning.
4. MYTH: The U.S. can’t afford more immigrants. FACT: We can’t afford not to have more immigrants because the U.S. population is aging. Twenty-five years ago, each retiree in America was matched by 5 workers. Now for each retiree there are only 3 workers. Without more immigration, in 15 years the ratio will fall to 2 workers for every retiree, not nearly enough to sustain our retiree population.

In Paraguay, a pregnant adolescent's risk of dying is 52 times higher than in the United States. Nearly 20 percent of adolescent female deaths in Paraguay are attributable to complications of pregnancy or childbirth. In Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador, the percentages are 13, 8.2 and 7.2, respectively.9
Poor women, especially adolescents, tend to seek inexpensive, later, unsafe abortions. In Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela—countries where abortion is illegal or severely restricted—a study of younger women seeking abortion found that they were at significant risk of abortion complications.10,4
In Chile and Argentina, where abortion is similarly restricted, more than one-third of maternal deaths among adolescents are a direct result of unsafe abortions.8
Teen mothers' deliveries are more often complicated by obstructed labor or other problems, which may lead to death of the mother and/or child, or to maternal infertility. Children born to teenage mothers are more likely to be premature, be of low birth weight, and suffer from retarded fetal growth.
