BOOM!
In the last 24 hours, multiple companies have raised their projected earnings in 2018 and beyond. Many are crediting President Trump's tax cut plan for boosting their bottom lines.
Higher earnings leads to expansion. Expansion leads to more hiring. More hiring leads to more working families. More working families leads to lower unemployment and higher revenues to the government from the expanding economy.
Thanks to President Trump and the GOP Congress, many workers won't have to wait long to enjoy the benefits of the tax reform plan. As the president was beginning his White House event celebrating this great victory, the press releases started flying.
- AT&T announced it would issue $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 workers and increase U.S. investment by $1 billion.
- Comcast NBC Universal announced it would issue $1,000 bonuses to more than 100,000 workers and would invest $50 billion in U.S. infrastructure.
- Boeing announced $300 million in charitable and employee-related investments.
- Wells Fargo announced that it was raising hourly pay to $15 and would make $400 million in charitable donations.
- Fifth Third Bank announced it was also raising pay to $15 an hour and issuing $1,000 bonuses to more than 13,000 workers.
Billions of dollars for investment in America, better pay and bonuses for American workers -- that is what every so-called "progressive" in Congress voted against. Be certain to share this report with your friends and family members.
The Real Scandal
While the entire left-wing establishment obsesses over whether Donald Trump colluded with Russia to Putin's benefit, there is a real scandal that is getting very little attention: What Barack Hussein Obama did to benefit Hezbollah, an Iranian terrorist proxy responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers.
Politico, hardly a right-wing outlet, broke the story recently, which we reported to you. The facts read like a Hollywood blockbuster -- drugs, terrorists, international intrigue and influence at the highest levels of government.
Just as a multi-national investigation was about to break the back of this dangerous group that was smuggling cocaine into America's cities, key government officials at the Justice, Treasury and State departments started throwing up roadblocks to prevent our national security apparatus from taking action.
Multiple sources told Politico that this obstruction was happening because the Obama Administration did not want to irritate Iran as it was negotiating the 2015 nuclear deal.
Notice that Iran did not tell Hezbollah to stop running cocaine into America. If Tehran were truly interested in peace, you'd think the ayatollah would have said, "You know, we don't want anything to derail this deal with the Obama Administration. We'd better shutdown the drug running."
Predictably, Iran continued its aggression. Only Obama backed down from defending our country against these Islamic narco-terrorists.
But it gets worse.
The nuclear deal turned out to be terrible. Far from preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, it actually legitimized Iran's nuclear program. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, the deal puts Iran on a path to nuclear bombs.
In addition, Iran received billions of dollars from the U.S. Much of it came from sanctions relief. But Obama also secretly flew pallets of cash to Tehran in the middle of the night!
The mullahs couldn't believe their good fortune. Obama not only ended sanctions and validated Iran's nuclear program, he was also paying every bribe they demanded. They won the Obama lottery!
And what did they do with their windfall? They directed the money to the Iranian military, which means it went to Hezbollah. Since Obama's nuclear deal with Tehran was announced, Iran has quadrupled its support for Hezbollah!
To summarize: Obama stopped American law enforcement from going after Hezbollah. He sent billions of dollars to Iran. Iran transfers much of it to Hezbollah. Obama should win Hezbollah's "Donor of the Year" award.
Why isn't every media outlet talking about Obama's collusion with Iran?
Key congressional leaders are promising a full investigation of this betrayal. But they've already got their hands full. Today there are reports that GOP leaders are investigating "corruption and conspiracy" at the Department of Justice and the FBI.
I am also pleased to report that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has demanded that Justice Department prosecutors question FBI agents about Hillary Clinton's Uranium One scandal.
