Iran deploys warships off Yemen after US, Houthis trade fire
About time with did that. If Iran wants to play games, I suggest they think twice. A missile lauch from one of their ships aimed at one of ours is an act of war. Not sure what the current administration would do, but some navy ship captain might react the them to kingdom come and back.
Not really, Ourt ship captains are very disciplined and would follow orders in that situation. I know they would use all appropriate countermeasures to defeat the inbound missiles.
Since I don't know the current "Rules of Engagement" I don't know what offensive action they could take, but we have always maintained a position of if fired upon , fire back, but that obviously is not the case off the coast of Yemen.

- Gary Johnson - October 7, 2016
"Show me an America with less debt, greater economic strength, and robust trade relationships across the globe, and I will show you a safer, more secure, America,"
Johnson proposes no more income taxes along with lower spending and a consumption tax for a real balanced budget, (not a fake one like Bill Clinton claimed by stealing social security funds.)
He did start pandering to the "giveaway" promises as the campaign progressed- in order to gain a few of hillary votes.
Higher tariffs would never have actually been enacted. They were just threats to reign in china a bit and open THEIR markets to us, at least the way I see it.
We will get into more hostile relationships with foreign countries mostly with Hillary, to some extent with Trump, and less so with Johnson- I grant you that.
As to a consumption tax, Johnson should know better. All that does is adds another tax burden to the existing ones, and will never subtract or replace whats already there.
Trump's proposal is minor tax cuts compared to Johnson's proposals which include ZERO corporate tax and ZERO individual income tax. Trump also proposes increased spending instead so it makes the debt WORSE, not BETTER.
A consumption tax IS the right answer for the short term (since it is impossible to cut government down enough in the short term) and tax rate would decline over time as Johnson is able to eliminate unconstitutional branches of federal government. It encourages saving instead of consumption and gives people a real choice to avoid paying federal tax at all. AND Johnson NEVER proposed a consumption tax unless the indivdual income (production) tax is eliminated completely.
More saving encourages more individual responsibility. More saving means lower individual debt and more funding from savings available for small businesses like yours which create more jobs than big business.
Trump doesn't THINK, he just runs his big mouth. His policies make no economic sense.
I agree with you that Hitlery's campaign and the media are biased toward Trump. So stop responding to my posts as if I favored Hillary or as if I give her campaign liars any credit. They are scum of the earth looters who deserve prison at best and possibly execution for treason. I do not hold Trump in that same level of disregard. However, Trump has acted as an idiot frequently and he does deserve to suffer when he has done stupid things. There is a kernel of truth to the accusations against trump. He has been a womanizer and has been recorded doing so. Women will consider this when they decide who to vote for, and most will give Trump the punishment he deserves at the ballot box. They should also reasonably conclude that Hitlery doesn't deserve their votes either, but most will vote for the looting whore because she is a she.
Most voters are just stupid and vote based on feelings and irrational fears instead of rational thought.
Sometimes it does appear that the cause of liberty is lost, but we must choose not to consent to the state. We must choose to stand up for principles that we know through rational thought to be right even when the battle appears to be lost. We must set an example.
One needs to keep principles conscious if one wants to be objective in ones actions. Lately, Hillery seems to be unaware that she ever had any chosen rational principles to guide her actions.
Lots of people would hear "Stay the course." and vote for continuing the failed policies of Clinton, Obama, and Bush, just as they agreed to the "Patriot "Act.
