Ford is canceling plans to build a new plant in Mexico. It will invest $700 million in Michigan instead, creating 700 new U.S. jobs.

@Yvonne - your position on this topic is simply close-minded and dogma-based, not science-based. You decry anything that doesn't conform to your dogma as "lies". And as far as families go - I'd bet more families are destroyed over conforming to your kind of dogma, than so-called "lying" to kids about gender. My sister divorced her husband over his bullying of my nephew - who incidentally knew he was gay at a very early age.

It's pretty arrogant to pretend to know what changes happen to the brain during early pregnancy - and how that impacts gender identity and sexual orientation - when science can't yet fully explain it. Dogma and rhetoric certainly doesn't.

My position is based on facts, if transgender truly exists, then picking our gender would be as simple as changing our clothes. The term is called body dysmorphia disorder. Some people with this disorder believes their hands or legs do not belong to their bodies and have asked doctors to cut off those parts. This is similar. It is the reason doctors have filed the lawsuit with HHS mandate and luckily they have won. You are not helping anyone who needs counseling, you are making the problem worse. We cannot pick our gender like we cannot pick our parents. Somethings in life are just a given. The only thing you can do is to make a freak out of this girl if she take hormones and have surgery to remove her breasts and implant a non-working penis.

I know the guy hasn't even been sworn in yet, but I wonder how all the Trump supporters would feel if he can't deliver on his many promises. Yes, I know he claims to have already done some of the things he promised, but he has also walked back many of his promises as well.

History tends to remember key promises presidential aspirants made - here is a link to a few http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/22/politic ... ry/presidential-promises/

It probably depends on what promise, and how important it is to most people. Take his promise to defund Planned Parenthood - only important to a handful of rightwing extremists, I doubt most of the country will care. The economy, however - that's a big one - I think his legacy will rise or fall on how well he does with that.

You sound a little confused.... you guys also think ACA was a Republican Bill too. I would love to see a democrat re-vote on that atrocious bill.

Six years after that vote... the full law was never implemented and it is crashing and burning as predicated by most honest economist and budget forecasts.

So did you vote for Hillary's Public Face..... or her Private Face?

Yeah, NAFTA was a Republican Bill. Sure, Clinton signed it but the responsibility goes across the aisle and the Republicans run away from their majority support for it. Chicken shits.

Mrs. Obama made the hopeless claim, lol. After 8 years of her husband the Democrats have lost the House, the Senate, the White House, more and more governorships/state legislatures, and soon the Supreme Court. I'd say that's pretty hopeless.

Seems to me that Trump is building all the bridges looking at the people from all walks of life meeting with him at the Tower to talk about the future.

I love the Trump-Nuts calling Democrats and Liberals "snowflakes" and suggesting they find "safe spaces" etc. and yet they have been fighting an imaginary "War on Christmas" and a "War on Christians" for years now. Now they have a whiny, thin-skinned Complainer-In-Chief to lead them into imaginary battles. These next 4 years, if he makes it that far, are going to be so entertaining.

We get it that you are enthusiastic about the win but why don't we at least wait until he starts the job and actually does something before jizzing all over yourself.

You don't get it.... and that is why HRC lost. JCMan8 is having fun at the expense of all the socialists on this blog.

The left and the alt-left media lapdogs are over the top hysterical about Trump winning this election.

They loose hugggggeeee and now in their denial of responsibility for nominating the worst candidate ever, they are blaming Russians and phony issues like "fake news"

Could fake news be defined as saying the assassination of a US Ambassador in Libya was due to a video tape made in California?

He is having fun being the counter balance to this foolish leftist hysteria and the angst... and frankly I am enjoying it.

I think we do... "the award" is more related to a Time marketing ploy to sell the magazine when the journal was relevant and existed in a competitive field of similar magazines.... similar to the February SI Swimwear Issue.

Thought I was busting chops, when I mentioned Obama's well deserved (mocking) Noble Peace Prize which I believe was given to him about a month into his first term.

I wonder if those dolts in Sweden would like to "re-vote" that prize considering the state of world peace as his presidency ends?

You do realize that Hitler was Times "Man of the Year" in 1938? Stalin in 1939 and 1942? It's not an "award of distinction".

OK let's return this thread back to it's original intent! I'm all for immigrants with 2 major caveats. #1 So as to better ingratiate yourself into the new society you now inhabit it would behoove you tremendously to make every an to assimilate to the land you now reside in by making at least a TOKEN effort to dress in a Western fashion because ostensibly you came here for a reason so for goodness sake could you please try to blend in as a simple friendly courtesy to your new country mates because HELLO we'd so rather not be constantly reminded of the 3rd world hell hole you ostensibly fled to IMPROVE your life here! NOT cool, which brings me to #2 Could you please try not to have a million kids once you get here so as to not further burden/stress our government social net/housing stock/infrastructure/local environment etc?? (And I couldn't care less what your religion dictates about the supposed virtues of breeding as this isn't freakin medieval times so if you'd like to expand your brood then please adopt as it's far more virtuous/ethical/conscientious to adopt when we live in an environmentally damaged, polluted, species being depleted at breakneck clip, overpopulated world teeming with over 7.2 billion people already!!!) That's it I'll get off my figurative soapbox now I'm out thanks for listening!!! (btw I do realize my closing rant applies to non immigrants also which I'm more then OK with)

I take it the usual "progressive" trolls are unable to respond, and have to wait for their media to issue talking points to tell them what to think, and they'll comment on this tomorrow.

So refreshing to see a president who actually cares about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.

LOL ... Toll Collector... a great "example" of a manufacturing job.

As for automation itself... I hope you keep the same "leave the country" attitude concerning the fastfood workers demanding $15 an hour.

Their jobs will be gone when the business owners install self service kiosks. So according to your logic, those low job skill people should go back to their country of origin too... racist!

The main reason manufacturing jobs are gone is because of technology and automation. Now it takes one person to oversee an army of mechanized robotic machines to perform complex, repetitive and dangerous tasks that workers used to do. Be thankful companies are outsourcing the dangerous work to other countries.

Example: toll takers in the Parkway and the Turnpike. That work should've been extinct 10 years ago.

You can' t compete? Then maybe you are the ones who should leave the country. Being a natural born citizen shouldn't afford you shit.
