US 'launched cyber-attack on Iran weapons systems'


The US launched a cyber-attack on Iranian weapons systems on Thursday as President Trump pulled out of air strikes on the country, US reports say.

The cyber-attack disabled computer systems controlling rocket and missile launchers, the Washington Post said.
It was in retaliation for the shooting down of a US drone as well as attacks on oil tankers that the US has blamed Iran for, the New York Times said.

The US has also imposed sanctions President Trump described as "major".
He said the sanctions were needed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and economic pressure would be maintained unless Tehran changed course.

Did you even read that article?

“The rate of growth, however, has been slower than during other periods of economic expansion. For example, during that previous record-holding period in the ‘90s, the average growth was 3.6 percent per year. The 10 previous economic expansions, going back to World War II, averaged a 4.3 percent. But this current expansion period has averaged just 2.3 percent growth per year.

As of the first quarter, U.S. GDP grew 3.1 Opens a New Window. percent.

All Americans haven’t benefitted from the growth equally, according to Steven Pressman, a Colorado State University economics professor who focuses on income inequality.

Sixty percent of economic gains in the past decade have gone to the top 1 percent, Pressman wrote in The Conversation. Everyone else has seen income gains of less than 5 percent or less than 1 percent annually.“

A baboon could "lead" an economic expansion with 3% interest rates.

This seems like a racist setup statement to me or are you being a racist?

3% interest is a race ?

obummer couldn't even do that. He averaged 1.6% each year for all 8 years. Are you saying a baboon would make a better POTUS than obummer?

Pamplona is not the only place where the bulls are running wild...happening on Wall Street too!

Today ALL THREE MAJOR INDEXES closed at all-time record highs. That's ALL-TIME record highs! Marks the 122nd, 123rd, and 124th all-time records set by the market since Trump's election.

Obama did it!

Latest market rally is ALL about the upcoming Fed rate cut. Fed futures project 100% chance of 25 basis point cut this month and a high probability of a second cut later in the year. Investors are just paying more for the same earnings. Wish it were about earnings and growth...but unfortunately it isn’t.

And to think, all those morons, like Goosey, who were screaming a Trump election would mean the end of the world as we know it! Amongst those dire predictions was a HUGE stock market crash! Just saw on CNBC one of the sensible hosts showing video from October, 2016 with so-called experts begging voters not to elect Trump, the market will crash, they said...and other bad things. The market has not crashed.

Then General Keane was reviewing all the great things that have happened, and are happening, in the world thanks to our gallant President Trump.

I have admitted before I did not vote FOR Trump, I voted AGAINST Krooked Killary. But, I was victimized by all the bullchit being spouted, even by so-called Republicans, and it was so over-whelmingly negative, I had reservations. I just didn't want Klinton in there. But, I am voting FOR Trump in 2020. He has proven himself. Every effing dire prediction was wrong! He has completely flipped the script on all those haters. And that's all they have is their hate.

Great quote from libertarian-conservative journalist George Will.

“I believe that what this president has done to our culture, to our civic discourse ... you cannot unring these bells and you cannot unsay what he has said, and you cannot change that he has now in a very short time made it seem normal for schoolboy taunts and obvious lies to be spun out in a constant stream. I think this will do more lasting damage than Richard Nixon's surreptitious burglaries did."

George Will is a joke and defines the swamp who wanted Hillary.

See that China's economy just suffered its worse quarter in 27 years. Still good, by world standards, but the Chicoms are concerned and want to talk to Trump about lifting tariffs in exchange for real change in their trade policies. Of course, they are commie bastards, and as is the case with anyone left of center, they are scumbags who can't be trusted. But, hey, they were not about to change before. At least Trump has them concerned.

China is about to add more stimulus, most likely. We will see if they agree to any meaningful structural changes to the way they operate due to the trade war. I question the way the negotiation has been handled, because for political and cultural reasons China has to be able to walk away with something they can claim as a win before Xi can agree to loosen his control over the economy. In this case, Trump’s need to declare a humiliating win over China is in tension with Xi’s more existential need to show control and that China is being respected. We will see.
