The jobs report peeps have not heard about systemic racism.
Yeah, I just can't confirm that your 300-point futures number on Friday is accurate. I've googled it, but I can't find it. I do know the futures number on Friday was pointing to an opening gain, because I saw it on the TV at Lifetime Fitness. But I don't remember the actual futures number on Friday because --well-- I was busy working out. LOL! So we'll just agree to go with the 300-point Futures open that you stated. It still leaves a 529 point gain -just as I stated-- for the market -post futures-- and that's after some profit taking kicked in late.Quote:

"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy.

I will be happy when the day arrives that all US Troops can come home...but alas, that is not reality just yet. So! I am quite pleased that Trump is moving about 27,000 troops from Germany into Poland. I think it sends a message to Putin and strengthens our ties to Eastern Europe without really sacrificing our alliance with Germany, should push come to shove. Trump is bold and forward thinking. The "front" in northern Europe is not in Germany, as it was for decades in post-WWII, it has moved to the east. Trump is not one to do things just because other presidents did it that way. This move makes sense.
This moves also sends a message to the Germans about their failure to pay their fair share into NATO. Trump said it, the Germans think nothing of spending $millions buying Russian energy, yet they expect us to spend our money protecting them from Russia. Closing US bases and reducing numbers at others will also have an economic impact on the local German communities. Checkmate!
Bolton was doing the circuits pimping his new book.. Tonight he said that Trump was "unpredictable".. Bolton is still pissed off that Trump called off an airstrike against an Iranian missile battery on the coast of Iran at the last minute. He details the timeline in his book, and how he tried to convince Trump to go ahead with the strike. He was also pissed off that Trump was trying to open diplomatic talks with N. Korea. Bolton has always been know as a war hawk.. if he had his way , we would be in an all out war with both Iran and N Korea..
Hey, Trump picked the clown.Quote:

Trump is tough and "hawkish" in terms of economic policy, trade, etc...that is where he "fights" our nation's battles. And that is a whole lot better than committing us to shooting wars, that accomplish very little to nothing, and gets so many of our young people killed and maimed.
Bolton was butting heads with Trump, wanting to start wars all over the place, and when the POTUS said, "No" Bolton got his panties in a wad. The nation should be very, very thankful that our gallant leader, President Trump, did not follow the advice of that advisor, John Bolton. I do think Bolton could be a valuable member of an advisory staff for any POTUS, but he has to realize and accept, he is not the elected one and it's the POTUS' decision to commit this nation to war, not his.
A lot of goofy libs are giddy with excitement that there's something in Bolton's book that will harm Trump's reelection bid. From what I'm hearing that is not so. If anything, Bolton rips the past administration to shreds, and that includes Quid pro quo sleepy creepy Joe.

Interesting findings on DOJ study on FISA warrants:
Michael horowitz found 17 critical errors, omissions, and falsehoods in the fisa warrant on carter page.
The DOJ and the fisa court took the extraordinary step of invalidating these warrants when they found out about the errors.
Horowitz then was curious: are these many errors commonplace during the fisa process, or are they rare? His reasoning was simple. If all fisa warrants contained many errors, it would serve as a defense against accusations that the fbi was specifically out to get trump. If the carter page warrants were out of the ordinary in the amount of errors they contained, it would lend credence to the idea that the fbi WAS out to get trump and his team.
Horowitz ordered 29 random fisa warrants (not including page's) to be examined.
the results are in.....
of the 29 warrants, there were 2 ERRORS TOTAL. Aka, each warrant had .07 errors. More critically, NONE OF THE WARRANTS WERE DEEMED INVALID. aka, they all satisifed the fisa court in their accuracy and credibility.
carter page's warrant had 17 ERRORS, and WAS DEEMED INVALID, unlike the other 29 randomly chosen fisa's.
The amount of errors in page's fisa was 242 TIMES HIGHER than the 29 random chosen fisa's.
this TAKES AWAY AN FBI TALKING POINT, that the mistakes in the page warrant were part of a larger fbi problem.
nope, the trump campaign fisa warrant was uniquely tainted.
this is what john durham will use in court to prove criminal intent.

Hopefully, medical science/government(s) will come clean on the death toll of this China Virus too...some day. Perhaps after it no longer serves a political purpose, we'll get the truth.

Did any of you see the speech POTUS gave yesterday and if so did you hear his remarks about lowering drug prices? He stated that he was making some very wealthy people very angry and that we may may not see much of him for a while. I know Trump is prone to offhanded comments but this one seemed especially odd. I've always felt Trump has enemies on both sides that want to keep the status quo. He seems to be intent on doing some things even at his own peril.
History will be a lot kinder to Trump than the current popular, twisted views of him. It would surprise a lot of people to know that Lincoln was despised by a lot of folks...and I don't mean just Southerners. Many northerners hated him! Many in power, influential people, like newspaper editors and state political leaders despised him, roundly bashed him for his policies. In the 1860 election Lincoln only got 39.8% of the popular vote, and his poll numbers dropped after that, especially during the first three years of his war of Northern Aggression. Too many northern boys coming home in coffins, and for what!? History paints a different picture of him because we have the luxury of 20-20 hindsight and can see the BIG PICTURE.Quote:

No we are reporting those who died WITH the China Virus. Maybe even those with the antibody findings. Been through this before too. Hearing about more and more false positive tests.Quote:

These have a higher false positivity rate. That is not great, but it is acceptable for how these tests are being used - to screen people.
Antibody tests that tell you whether you had the disease - highest of all the tests for false positivity. This is bad if it causes you to behave as if you can’t get coronavirus.
And keep in mind we are currently experiencing 15 times more deaths per capita a day from COVID than the EU and 20 times more per capita COVID deaths per day than Canada.Quote:

Your negative credibility rating just took another hit...

Okay...in the interest of my own credibility, I found a couple of what I consider to be reliable sources, that support your contention of "current" daily death rates. The two sites have stats dating from August 1 - August 8 with three-day rolling averages used to "smooth out the humps due to reporting time lags." And in comparing US to Europe and Canada, which you did state, 15X the rate is an acceptable "rounded-off" estimate. I hereby restore a few credibility points to your overall score...but it remains way down in the negative numbers.Quote:

But...on the other part of your contention: blaming Trump. Sorry, nope! can't go there. Are there ANY state/local political leaders anywhere in this country (indeed, the world) who is NOT familiar with the current China virus outbreak? Anyone? Goosey, can you find and name any governor, any mayor, who can legitimately say, Hey, what is this virus crisis mess, this is the first I am hearing about this, and why hasn't President Trump personally called me to alert me? Do some research and post any such political leader...
The current US death rates are, of course, a direct result of the "re-opening" surge that took place in early to mid-July. I am happy to report we still (at this time) live in a country where local/state political leaders enjoy authority and who can, and often do, totally ignore DC. Thankfully that is so. But, they also take on full responsibility for their actions/decision-making. Trump did not put a gun to the head of any governor or mayor and force them to relax protocols in the virus "crisis." But, nice try...actually, it wasn't a good try...trying to blame Trump for the decisions of others in whose authority such decisions lay.
