He may not be the greatest job creator ever, but you have to go all the way back to Obama to find a better one.

Maher Responds To Tlaib's Calls To Boycott His Show And It's Pure Perfection Beth Baumann \| @eb454 \| Posted: Aug 21, 2019 6:25 PM Share (93) Tweet Source: Janet Van Ham/HBO via AP Over the weekend, HBO host Bill Maher slammed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, commonly referred to as the BDS Movement. According to Maher, the BDS Movement is a "bullst" litmus test for Democrats. Specifically, he was referencing Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who have been very vocal about boycotting Israel. "BDS is a bullst purity test by people who want to appear woke and have actually slept through history class," Maher said, at which point the audience broke out into a thunderous applause. "It's predicated on this notion that is very shallow thinking, that the Jews are in Israel are mostly white and the Palestinians are browner so they [Palestinians] must be innocent and correct and the Jews must be wrong. As if occupation came out of the blue, that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied. Forget about the infectadas and the suicide bombings and the rockets and how many wars?" After hearing his take, Tlaib did what she does best: call for people to boycott the popular liberal host. Rashida Tlaib ?@RashidaTlaib Maybe folks should boycott his show. I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom. This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa. It didn't work then and it won't now. t.co Mehdi Hasan ?@mehdirhasan Maher rails against BDS, Palestinians, and Omar/Tlaib with an all-white panel featuring no Palestinians, no Arabs, no Muslims, no people of colour. “Liberal” Maher. twitter.com … 23.6K 6:43 PM - Aug 17, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 13.4K people are talking about this But Maher clapped back at Tlaib, reminding her that most Democrats in the House voted to condemn the BDS Movement. Bill Maher ?@billmaher Some people have one move only: boycott. Cancel. Make-go-away. But here’s the thing, the house voted 318 to 17 to condemn the #BDS movement, including 93% of Dems. Does Tlaib want to boycott 93% of her own party? 7,668 10:24 AM - Aug 21, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 3,943 people are talking about this It's hilarious to see someone like Maher, who is often critical of President Donald Trump, and conservatives, to go after people in the Democratic Party. He's saying what the majority of Americans think and feel. The reality is simple: Tlaib and Omar are in the minority here. They can call for a boycott of Israel. It's not going to happen. They can call for a boycott fo Maher's show. It's not going to happen. If anything, whenever they call for these boycotts, it seems like they have the opposite impact: they garner more support for their opponents.

VIDEO Not on Latino News: Economy Benefiting All, Including the 55+ Yes, it´s true. People over 55 years of age are prospering across the nation. But so are Latinos - and as one Hispanic investment ace tells us, they are not the only ones, much to the chagrin of the liberal Spanish-speaking media that continue to make a case for an ailing economy about to crash and for Donald Trump to be deep-sixed.
