Companies are already Cancelling Plans to Set Up Operations In Mexico

Trump’s Threat Damps Companies’ Plans to Move U.S. Jobs Abroad

President-elect Donald Trump’s threat of retribution against companies that move jobs out of the U.S. is already having the effect he probably intended: some business leaders are pausing plans to seek foreign addresses.

Ross Baldwin, whose San Diego-based firm Tacna helps U.S. companies set up manufacturing operations in Mexico, said three new clients put their plans on hold until they see what Trump does as president.

At the McAllen Economic Development Corp., which assists companies seeking to expand across the Mexican border from the Texas city, two of five companies currently considering a move have put the brakes on their plans because of Trump, said Keith Partridge, the development corporation’s chief executive officer.

Trump’s Twitter vow that companies shifting jobs out of the U.S. will face “consequences” under his administration introduced new and difficult-to-gauge political risk for businesses considering offshoring to lower costs. The incoming president’s passion for the cause was underscored at his Dec. 1 rally to celebrate an agreement he reached with United Technologies Corp.’s Carrier unit to keep about 800 factory jobs in Indianapolis instead of moving them to Mexico.

“What they did in Indiana has made it clear to every board member in America that there is a clear and present danger in outsourcing” said Jim Courtovich, managing partner of the Washington public affairs firm Sphere Consulting, who said he has already heard from worried business executives.

GN Store Nord A/S looked into moving some hearing-aid production work from Minnesota to Mexico earlier this year but put the plan on hold because of U.S. campaign rhetoric, a person familiar with the matter said. GN wants to explore incentives to keep production in Minnesota and whether there would be penalties for relocating jobs to other countries, said another person. Both people asked not to be named because the discussions are private. 

GN doesn’t comment on internal deliberations and has “no plans whatsoever” to move its Minnesota production, Anders Hedegaard, CEO of GN Hearing, said in an e-mailed statement. “We have recently consolidated our U.S. production in Minneapolis, where we have invested heavily and increased staff. We are very pleased with the location.”

REVEALED: Muslim Teen made up story about Trump supporters attacking her on subway

A Muslim teen who claimed a trio of drunks had taunted her as a “terrorist” on a Manhattan subway train admitted she lied to cops — and was arrested by the NYPD Wednesday, sources said.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, is charged with obstructing governmental administration and filing a false report, according to a high ranking police source.

Both charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail.

Seweid, of Nassau County, had claimed the hateful drunks shouted “Trump! Trump!” and called her a “terrorist” as they tried to steal her headscarf.

“Go back to your country!” she said they shouted during the Dec. 1 attack.

But when cops tried to confirm her story by pulling surveillance video, inconsistencies appeared.

Hate crime investigators called the Baruch College business major in on Wednesday to work on another sketch of her so-called “attackers,” and confronted her with the inconsistencies, another source said.

That’s when she cracked, admitting that she had been out late drinking with friends, and made up the attack story to distract her angry father, sources said.

Seweid had been having problems with her Egyptian, strictly Muslim family in North New Hyde Park because she is becoming “westernized,” one source said.

The family problems were aggravated by their learning she was dating a Catholic, the source said.

Seweid’s older brother, Abdoul, was charged with four other teens with grand larceny and conspiracy back in 2012, when he was 17.

Nassau cops busted the five kids for allegedly breaking into parked cars and stealing the electronics and other goods inside.

In a striking parallel to the charges against his sister four years later, Abdoul was additionally charged with falsely reporting an incident.

Cops said he claimed when he was busted that his pal had been “assaulted by three unknown males,” according to a Newsday story at the time.

The disposition of those charges was not immediately available Wednesday night.

Yasmin Seweid’s claims of suffering a bias attack had sparked a week-long NYPD manhunt for the three alleged suspects.

She had also publicly complained that no one on the crowded train came to her aid, prompting much public discourse not only on the rise in hate crimes throughout the city, but on the callousness of commuters.

Seweid became the subject of a manhunt herself last week, when she ran away to her sister’s home in Fishkill, NY, leaving the rest of her family and cops desperate to find her again.

She was tracked down by Nassau cops, who found her because either she or the sister were posting on Facebook, sources said.

Michael Jordan Lowering Price to $19.99 On All Jordan’s Trainers in 2017

...

“I’m just tired of people paying for the illusion that more expensive means better, when in reality my shoes cost $5 to make”

Said basketball great Michael Jordan on why he is lowering the price on his super popular Air Jordan brand sneakers.

MJ is sick and tired of blacks killing blacks over his high priced shoes. He wants to set a precedent by showing people that spending more money on something exclusive doesn’t make you special it just makes you a fool with money. Michael Jordan feels bad for all these young black males with these large Jordan shoe collections but they don’t have one red cent invested in Jordan or Nike Stock and he would like to save them from themselves. He will make the transition in lowering the prices nationwide slowly over the course of the next couple years to deter any backlash in the black community.

“I think he smokin crack, you know how much money I spent on my Jordan collection?, I buy these to be a star in my hood, everywhere I go they call me Young Retro, if he make em cheap like them starbury’s I’m taking my shoe collection talents to Lebron”

said disgruntled Jordan collector Malik “Young Retro” Wilburn.

We will have to wait and see how this change will effect the crime rate in the black community as well as MJ’s pockets.

Although Jordans approach is awesome. The problem is most people want Jordans so they can fulfill what’s lacking in their life like praise, self esteem, acceptance, and so forth. Those kids need to grow up and stop collecting shoes and start collecting stocks, bonds, & other investments.

Sen. Barbara Boxer to introduce bill to end Electoral College and kick Trump Out of the White House

BY: CNN

Washington (CNN)Retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, who was an outspoken supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, is set to introduce a Senate bill that aims to end the Electoral College.

Boxer announced in a statement on Tuesday that the bill, which she planned to introduce later Tuesday afternoon, would determine the winner of presidential elections by the outcome of the popular vote.

She cited President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the Electoral College despite Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's apparent popular vote advantage.

Trump now praises Electoral College, says he could have won popular vote

"In my lifetime, I have seen two elections where the winner of the general election did not win the popular vote," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."

The presidency is the only office where you can get more votes & still lose. It's time to end the Electoral College. http://bit.ly/2fRVBgh

"In 2012, Donald Trump tweeted, 'The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy,' " Boxer added. "I couldn't agree more. One person, one vote!"

According to CNN's election results as of Tuesday, Clinton won 61,329,657 votes and Trump won 60,530,867.

This is the fifth time in history that a nominee has won the popular vote but not the Electoral College. The same situation happened to Al Gore in 2000, when he lost to George W. Bush.

The actual likelihood of Boxer's bill passing is low. It's a proposed constitutional amendment, which would require passage not only by two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, but then in three-quarters of states. A lame duck session and a Republican Congress will make it difficult to get such a bill through the legislative branch.

On Tuesday, Trump praised the Electoral College after previously criticizing the system. He said he could have won the popular vote if he campaigned differently.

Trump tweeted he would have won the populous states of Florida, New York and California if he had spent more time campaigning there.

Babysitter On Crystal Meth Eats 3 Year Old Baby

De Soto, MO | Two Missouri parents were horrified to discover their babysitter had turned into a crystal meth-smoking cannibal when they found the remains of their three-month-old child cooked in the microwave.

After a night out at the movies, the young parents came back home to find a confused babysitter under the influence of alcohol and crystal meth who had lost consciousness and was covered in blood in the family’s living room.

Moments later, they made the gruesome discovery when the mother saw something moving behind the microwave door.

“Only a few hits”

Anna Krutchiev, the 16-year-old babysitter, claims she had brought some crystal meth and only took a few hits before she became exceedingly hungry and eventually lost consciousness.

“I just took a few tokes because I was bored and wanted to stay awake,” she told Officer Johnson. “All I remember is that I started getting really hungry, ate some chicken wings and passed out” recalls the police officer, visibly traumatized by the latest events.

Covered in barbecue sauce

The 3-month-old child was found in the microwave, covered in barbecue sauce, and was rushed to Springfield’s Mercy Hospital where doctors do not fear for his life.

“It appears she tried to cook him in the microwave oven but apparently she was unable to do so, and was probably disoriented and lost consciousness moments later,” explained Sheriff deputy James Anderson of the Jefferson County Police Department. “Teeth marks were found on the baby’s arms and legs but luckily he is unharmed” he acknowledged, visibly distraught by the whole affair.

The state of Missouri has led, for more than a decade, the nation in methamphetamine busts. A recent 2015 state-wide study revealed that more than 60% of adults aged 21 and higher have tried crystal meth at least once and close to 40% of respondents believed crystal meth should be decriminalized as a schedule 2 drug for medical use in treatment.

Teacher Gave Students BJ’s & Let them Run a Train On Her in Class

Osceola, AR – Nicole Winberry, a 28-year-old math teacher at Osceola High School, was jailed Thursday after she allegedly had s3x with three students.

According to Arkansas State Police, an investigation was launched after the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline received a tip alleging that Winberry had engaged in s3xual activities with at least one student.

Since then, three male students, two 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old, have come forward to say they were s3xually assaulted by Winberry.

Investigators say Winberry was charged with four counts of s3xual assault because she allegedly assaulted one of the students on two occasions.

The students all claim one time in class she gave them all repeated Bl????w Jobs & let them take turns hitting it in different positions.

Before placing a call to the Child Abuse Hotline, school officials reportedly investigated the allegations and found evidence they say backed up the students’ claims. One major source of information the school used to report the alleged abuse came from chat messages found on at least one student’s phone.

Winberry, who has been married for 10 years and has 5-year-old twin boys, resigned from her position on Friday.

She was booked into jail and charged with four counts of first-degree s3xual assault. Her bond has been set at $15,000. Her arraignment hearing has been set for next month.
