    This quest for innovation and ideas from business people is a welcome change from the prior Administration and Party. Recall that we were told by PEE_LOW_SEE_IT_LATER that we’re too stupid to understand the changes they were going to vote on to control 1/6th of the US economy.

    Compare:

    a. Nan-SEE_IT_LATER said they’d pass it BEFORE anyone outside their Party Committee members could review their 2000+ page bill.

    b. The TrumPresident Administration is inviting business people to suggest innovations that will lead to improved life, liberty, wealth, and safety/ security for US citizens.

      Polar, I think I would trust Kushner and wife Ivanka more than the long departed Jeffrey Immelt (Job Czar)with job creation and innovation. All Immelt ever did was move GE jobs to China.

      Polar, so what do you think about the former Obama Administration official and policy advisor Evelyn Farkas spilling the beans on the Trump surveillance by the administration during the last days of Obama? By the way, she is an MSNBC analyst and also former advisor to Hilliary. Told her former colleagues to get as much information as they could on Trump. Her biggest fear was that the Trump staffers would find out how much they knew about their activities. Wonder if she will get immunity for telling Gowdy all about this wonderful scheme? These Progressive Democrats are the worst. TRUMP was right even though the media castigated him for it.

        She may be the target of a bullet, so she needs protection. But she may know she was going to be discovered, told someone what she knew NOT UNDER OATH, and is waiting for an immunity deal, like the IT geek who set up HRCs home server, got immunity and then shut his mouth when asked to spill the beans. But Trey Gowdy won’t get fooled again, to borrow a Who song lyric. He’ll only grant her immunity under specific conditions.

        Watch the Libitterals and Liberal Main Stream Media try to discredit Farkas’ story for the next few weeks. They’ll find her past friends, boyfriends, confidantes, informants, doorman at hotels she stayed at, her car mechanic, hair stylist, baristas, etc., to find some dirt to use against her. If she’s squeaky clean, they may have to ‘discover’ an old flame who is really an impostor paid to lie about it.

          Polar, I am still wondering how Monica didn’t end up floating face down in the Potomac. I guess the blue dress had something to do with it.

          By the way, no way she would be considered squeaky clean. She worked for Obama and Hilliary. MSNBC has probably been trying to scrub the interview, but it has a nasty way of resurfacing on the net.

            I only heard soundbites of it, but Mika was certainly at a loss for words when she stumbled into that minefield! She muttered a few phrases that added nothing to the dialogue, like “there’s a lot goin’ on today” (paraphrased, but close to her words) instead of asking a followup question or making an observation based on what Farkas said.

        Making one positive comment about Trump does not make your absurd unfair comparisons, fair.

        Each statement handles on it’s own, and Ron clearly has an Anti Trump bias and over reacts on his statements, compares them to dictators, etc.

      Ron,
      I concur, this is a good idea. They could choose someone better than Jared (he went to Jared) to spearhead it, though. But yes, having the private sector spur government ideology is and has been welcomed. Let’s continue to get after it!

      On a side note, why is i45 so afraid to throw a baseball? What a coward. We don’t expect you to have athletic ability, we see your body stature. Just do something presidential for once and lead off that national pastime. We know, like Trumpcare, you can’t get it to the plate. We don’t care. Just throw.

        Planetarium, did you ever see your guy throw a baseball? He did it one time and it looked like slow pitch softball and bounced in front of the plate from 60 feet away. GW had a pretty good arm and put some zip on it.

          The only job a rational person would choose President GW Bush over Obama is to be a pitcher.

          President Trump is too thin-skinned to face a non-friendly, pre-screened audience.

            No offense, but does anyone *really* care which President is better at sports? Bush is better than Obama throwing off the mound! Yay Bush! Obama hit 3 point shots in basketball all the time and i’ve never seen Bush sink one. Obama is better than Bush in basketball. Yay Obama! Who is the better bowler? What about tennis or golf? What does any of this tell us about their Presidency or character? Not a thing as far as i can tell.

          Is there nothing about which you will NOT lie? You know they have video of Obama’s pitching on youtube which proves your nonsense is bullcaca like usual, right?

          PS – Bush threw out the first pitch 9 times & Obama twice. You think maybe Bush was better because he had more practice?

            Bush was better than Obama in every aspect whether it would be athletically or being President. He only played golf a few times a year and Obama played 335 rounds and Bush could beat him at that as well. No “Don’t count that” as well. Bush was a fast golfer and could get in 18 before Obama played nine. Trump is much the same way and is probably the best golfer of all Presidents.

            Agent said, “Trump is much the same way and is probably the best golfer of all Presidents.” Well, he is getting far more practice than President Obama did in his first 60+ days. Yet, no criticism from the right.

            How about we compare our Presidents by the content of their character and their policies, not by who is better at golf, baseball, basketball, darts, 9-ball & 8-ball pool, skeet shooting, archery….WHO CARES?!

            You aren’t a good president just because you’re good at sports. Oooh, what’s that? Obama did a Triple Lindy! Wow! Let’s ignore all those drone strikes & GitMo still being open because he has skillz (yes, with a z)!

            Sorry to rain on your parade young troll, but reviewed the You tube again on that first pitch by girly guy. What a rainbow. The catcher had to come out in front of the plate to catch that ball in the dirt. Had he stayed back, it would have bounced right into him. What an arm! Thought he was playing basketball instead of throwing a baseball.

          Did you see Dubya trying to put on a rain poncho at i45’s itty bitty inauguration? I imagine that every time I think I’m having a bad day. Maybe the private sector can innovate a way to make dressing oneself in a single-holed garment a little easier.

            @Planetarium; Confused suggested above that we shouldn’t measure a POTUS’s performance or value to the USA by their athletic prowess. I concur. I would include an ability to open and don a poncho in the athletics category, if loosely defined. Please refrain from off-topic content in your future posts. TIA.

            Mass hysteria? Ok let me spell this out:

            Saying the ACA is bad, and saying it is in a death spiral, which is hyperbole, is not mass hysteria. Agent’s age group is not out there in mass hysteria. If so, show me!

            Now, on the other hand, UC BERKELY says hello TWICE. And dozens of other protests from the left in MASS HYSTERIA about Russian collusion, Russian treason, etc amounting to tens of thousands of protestors, in all, it may even be over a hundred thousand by now.

            If you weren’t out calling everyone a hypocrite yourself you would not have my foot firmly up your rear so often. Maybe you should grow up?

            The right is not in mass hysteria currently. The numbers are not there. The regressive left however is, and the partisan behavior is terrible in the younger age groups, of which a whopping EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT supported Bernie Sanders, and a whopping 53% support socialism.

            That is not a good thing, and that needs to be kept in check.

            Not people like Agent, who did pretty well during Reagan days and Clinton days. As the population has the millennials including in decisions, things have become worse. This is not the older folks suddenly going crazy. It’s the youth.

    So an heir to a fortune, illegitimate president is appointing a criminal heir to a fortune family member to look into innovation. Neither are in businesses that use much innovation, and Kushner is in no way qualified. Maybe his answer will be more insurance agencies since the main qualification at many seem to be based in nepotism as well.

          First, that’s a joke because he wouldn’t read anything other than Fox, Breitbart, and other garbage right-wing trash sites. Second, reading is vastly different than comprehending, which Polar is incapable of doing.

            UW has been conspicuously absent since I reported his misbehavior to IJ.

            Except that he hasn’t.

            I don’t think UW is out of line right now. IJ doesn’t need to take action on this one.

            Don’t fret too much on it.

            I’m not banned, I just come here maybe one a week now because most of the intelligent people have left. Most threads are 2 idiots spreading lies, saying “fake news” whenever they are corrected, and then reveling in their ignorance and racism together. Why bother, there are plenty of sites with morons that also have actual reality-based commenters.

            You are a birther, you lie constantly, you aren’t competent. Agent thinks Flow is a real person and almost everything he says that can be fact checked is wrong. You and the other conservatives cry like babies and then threaten physical violence, libel people, or threaten to track people down and IJ accepts it. There is no reason to come here anymore, except to laugh at the idiots for a minute.

            Since IJ started editing more articles that used to be press releases the quality of the articles has declined as well: they need to hire people that actually work in insurance. Almost any article with statistics that come from press releases, studies, or conferences is wrong. It’s just way down on the list of sites I visit, largely because of conservative losers.

    Capt Planetarium needs a separate thread for him only, to discuss off topic topics, such as baseball.

      Polar, did you notice that these Progressives scream bloody murder when they are found out about their lies. Weeks ago, Trump said he and the transition team were surveilled and he was raked over the coals for it and told to “provide the proof”. Now, it has been provided and the truth will set America Free. This is making Watergate look very insignificant in the grand scheme of things. A lot of people should go to jail for this and if Comey doesn’t come clean for a change, he should submit his resignation.

        Progressives seem to be screaming. It’s just the ‘volume’ they get when the Liberal Main Stream Media covers their complaints that make the volume seem higher than other stories.

        For balanced volumes, view Fox News, and perhaps The Daily Mail. Here on IJ, the volume knobs are tilted a bit, but not as much as the other media sites.

    And your last phrase doesn’t fix your hysteria. It is not balance.

    And balance does not always suggest truth.

    You’re completely absurd on these issues.

    By the way: I don’t mean to say watching CNN is bad with that comment. I watch CNN. That’s how I know you’re quoting their arguments nearly verbatim. I watch them a lot.

    It is however a bad thing, when you simply repeat what concepts CNN, instead of hardline facts and digest them all further. Or a narrative and concept you yourself created with facts from CNN that are definite. Or something similar.
