Big mouth TRUMP did work on the US citizens and bought home made cars ........


US goods deficit shrinks sharply in February

America cut its trade shortfall with the rest of the world in February, amid a sharp drop in the pace of purchases of automobiles and consumer products from overseas.

The deficit on trade in goods shrank by 5.9% month-on-month to $64.8bn from $68.8bn in the month before, according to preliminary figures from the Census Bureau.

Economists had forecast a deficit of -$66.9bn.

Imports fell by $4.2bn from one month to the next to reach $191.6bn, while exports slipped by $0.1bn to $126.8bn.

When compared to January and in seasonally adjusted terms, exports fell by 0.1% on the month to $126.81bn, led by a 6.7% decline in those of foods, feeds and beverages.

Imports on the other hand decreased by 2.1% on the month to reach $191.6bn, with those of autos falling 8.3% to $29.1bn and those of consumer goods decreasing 5.8% to $49.03bn.

And Ford have cancelled plans to build a $1.5 billion plant in Mexico,
instead investing in the US..

The Dons getting the manufacturing back into the US..

I was amazed to read the following piece of News about a criminal event which can only happen in the USA....

An Oklahoma man fatally shot three suspected teenage burglars with an assault rifle when they broke into his home, and the 23-year-old is unlikely to be charged based on initial evidence, authorities said on Tuesday.

The three had forced their way into the house near the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow on Monday when the homeowner's son opened fire with an AR-15 military-style rifle, Deputy Nick Mahoney, a spokesman for the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office, said by telephone.

The male intruders were wearing all-black clothing, masks, and gloves, while one was armed with a knife and another had brass knuckles, according to authorities.

"This is a pretty uncommon thing for Wagoner County," Mahoney said of the shooting.

Two of the youths were 16 or 17 years old while the third was 18 or 19, Mahoney said. Two died inside the house and the third collapsed on the driveway.

Neither the resident nor the three intruders were named by authorities.

The trio's suspected getaway driver, Elizabeth Rodriguez, 21, has been charged with three counts each of first-degree murder and first-degree burglary. Under state law, a person who commits a felony when a death occurs can be charged with felony murder.

Rodriguez was arrested after she approached the Broken Arrow police to give information about the incident, Mahoney said.

Assistant District Attorney Doug Dry said the investigation was in its initial stages and any charges against the man would have to await such evidence as a coroner's report.

"Right now there's not anything that I know of that gives us any reason to arrest the individual that was alleged to have shot the three individuals," he said by telephone.

Dry said Oklahoma law allowed people to use deadly force in the case of a home invasion.

Ford did not cancel plans for plant in Mexico due to Trump

Trump Keeps Taking Credit For Deals Struck While Obama Was President

ever house hold should have the right to kill any one breaking into their home . they are less than scum

Haha!! .. "Ford did not cancel plans for plant in Mexico due to Trump"


A Ford quote......."We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the
new Congress will pursue policies that will improve US competitiveness and
make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the United States."


Take the "we are encourage" by the threat from the Don that his government
would slap a 35% tariff on Ford car imports from Mexico..

Ford did the same when they got a cheap european loan from the European bank,
and closed a van plant in Southampton with the loss of thousands of British jobs moved production to Turkey....ably assisted by Brussels and the UK government,
ie 'giddy' osborne and the snake oil salesman cameron...


And for feck sake...isn't buzzfeed run by the Democrats..LOL!

A gang of men who conspired to supply cocaine across a city have been jailed.
They were detained during raids in Brighton and Hove last June, when cash, cocaine and vehicles worth several hundred thousand pounds were seized.
Leader Mevlan Dema was arrested after police stopped him his BMW in West Street, Brighton, in which they found cocaine, Hove Crown Court heard.
Eight out of the nine men - all Albanian - were in the UK illegally, the BBC understands.

Feeding the "needs" of the English communities?

Well done Aldwick fruits of the EU for some , how many more out there illegally .

Westminster Bridge was closed to traffic earlier to accommodate a 'vigil' in which large numbers of the UK's Muslim community attended so as to condemn last week's attack and to try to promote peace. In volumetric terms the bridge was about 1/3rd full of people, IMHO.

A 1 min period of silence was also observed.

Perhaps lots of Muslims feel the previous condemnations haven't been strong enough?

Perhaps this is a 'turning point of condemnation'?

Anyhow, I predict, that for the next 'Islamic terrorist' offence against the people, the Muslim condemnation response attendance will be very, very much greater.

i certainly hope so, and would love to hear their leaders speak up very loudly indeed and not just in their local communities and newspapers

'Feeding the "needs" of the English communities'


What makes you so sure it was for the benefit of the 'English' communities?
After all in multi-cultural Britain there is plenty of other nationalities and
communities that have the need of drugs...YOU for example, taking into account
the rubbish you post, you've got to be on some drug or other..

No wimmin on the march?

They're not allowed to mix with men, in multi-cultural feminist Britain.

Yes. How strange. Not a sign of merely one of them.

Hmmm?

Ah, yes. Obviously, the Muslim women must be at home looking after the kids. There's no other answer for it.

I didn't see women on the march, but after there was a row of men standing behind a row of Muslim young girls on the bridge showing support. That was on the BBC news.

Oh, really?

So what then About 10-15 women or so?

Let's be thankful that at least some men turned up. The gender issue will take generations to sort out.
On the business of encryption, I am not in favour of any government having access to my messages because of the actions of a relatively few maniacs. We are all inconvenienced at airports because of the threat from them. Profiling would help reduce the nonsensical searching of the elderly and children at airports. As for the Westminster killer, why not just open his phone rather than demand Facebook give access to the whatsapp messenger service of everyone?

Facebook give access to the whatsapp messenger service of everyone? They didn't say that did they ? What if it was being used by Paedophiles ? Wouldn't it be best if they informed the intelligent services voluntary, Facebook & google could do it , they block your content if there is copyright content, or when it suit's them.
