    “Trump Denounces ‘Send Her Back’ Chant About Rep. Ilhan Omar (BI)”

    Ugh. I can’t believe they let Trump turn a fumble into a touchdown. Still don’t care about law or migrants and still are ignoring the 2nd state asylum rule which would be impossible if they gave a s–t about anyone but their egos. At the same time, going too far and winning that – and maybe even destroying the Democratic Party like he did 15 candidates, the GOP, and the media – means it’s finally got blowback from other dummies at his rally. Ha ha, you dopes: she’s a U.S. citizen with free speech. I think you’re for that. This sort of thing is the first warning of committing suicide and leaving a one-party system.

    He denounces, but what’s the point? They will never care so why bother? A lifetime of charity for black causes and that means nothing to them. Can you see how they make it impossible to denounce or apologize? No apology is ever accepted. No forgiveness is ever possible. Not just for him but for any of us.

    “I am worried that USS Boxer has shot down their own UAS [Unmanned Aerial System] by mistake!..”

    Or a Saudi/Israeli one. What was there, 5 attempts at WWIII this week? Always commit arson to hide the crime. You know, before Epstein’s records are released.

    “Rand Paul Angles to Become Trump’s Emissary to Iran (Pol.)”

    Sure, the minute Iran said they’re coming to the table and negotiating. Which wouldn’t happen if he didn’t scare the pants off them, and he’s in a hurry. That’s all he said he wanted, and here we are: peace in NoKo, F-Stan, Syria, Venezuela, and Iran. All by accident, I hear. Halliburton won’t be pleased.

    “Manhattan and DC Brace For Epstein Impact (VF)”

    Wasn’t it reported yesterday that the PM of Israel visited Epstein in disguise a minute before 5 bikini models showed up? Coincidence I’m sure. Because everything that happens is an accident and coincidence. Ask CNN. Well at least they were over-age.

    “China retail sales and industrial production rebounded handsomely”

    Sales to whom? U.S. and EU are down and the Silk Road isn’t built yet. My guess is subsidized sales into the supply chain, not end-buyer. They learned this trick from the U.S. with GM.

    “Alexander Hamilton insisted that debt was the price of liberty. …Yet, throughout much of U.S. history, many Americans regarded debt itself as a threat, to individual freedoms.”

    Both are true. Jefferson would like to outlaw (intergenerational) debt, but didn’t, as Hamilton pointed out the U.S. would collapse in the first war if you did, whether offensive or defensive. So like nukes, that risk must stand and be dealt with responsibly. Which we, or rather the bankers, haven’t. But that’s okay. Now we’ll deal with THEM, the banks irresponsibly, as we default on it and they are all bankrupted and destroyed. Quelle damage.

    “the national debt, which eventually fell from 32 percent of GDP in 1869 to 5 percent in 1916.”

    Hey, did anybody like Keen learn anything from this? The U.S. was most prosperous with low and falling debt, then ever LESS prosperous and active with high and rising debt. Nope. They’re all for MMT and printing a stimulus that hasn’t worked in the last 20 years in a row, to say nothing of the previous 100. But maybe next year, year 106 and 107 in a row and they’ll finally catch on, because you know, they’re the schmartzy-peoples and we’re all dumb.

    “Russia Offers to Join European SWIFT-Bypass (ZH)”

    As we promote the multi-polar world and demand it get built. Accidentally, or on purpose? Accidentally of course, just like all 5 national peace settlements.

    “More Puerto Rico Protests Planned As Governor Resists Calls To Resign (R.)”

    Finally somebody against corruption, graft, bribery, murder. Nope! He said naughty words. That’s what gets them out, not the death of their children from their economy destroyed, the grid being hollowed out and put to ruin for 70 years before an epic hurricane. Or a 45% poverty rate with a 2017 debt of $12,000 per capita – highest in the U.S. by multiples, a higher state debt than Texas, who is 10x larger. Oh and the drug companies use Puerto Rico for their guinea pigs for their drug testing. Who protests for that??? No one. But when he calls you retards for allowing it, allowing yourselves and your children to be poisoned and destroyed, THEN you’re mad? Whatever. Sigh.

    “IUCN Red List Reveals Wildlife Destruction from Treetop to Ocean Floor (G.)”

    This all exists because of free – and fake – money. Without this “stimulus”, they could not, would not senselessly develop the world with houses and products no one needs or asks for, and there’d be room for rhinos as no one could afford to pave the planet. But no. More MMT, more money, even when 106 years proves it creates a worse economy for the nations and always invariably collapses. How do you destroy someone? Give them exactly everything they want. All anybody wants today is money. And Epstein’s house key.

    “England: Knife Crime Hits New Record High”

    And this is with the Bobbies happily confiscating public spoons. If only forks were registered! Making the people utterly helpless before the British government sure has worked wonders. Things are better than ever!

    “SMILE, you’re on Candid Camera”!
    Hi Ehud 🙂 We see you at Jeffrey’s house.
    Israeli Gangster Bibi Netanyahu is really chowing down on rival Ehud Barak for this. (Pot, you’re black.)

    I’ve had the weird feeling that Israeli electoral politics is wagging the dog of American electoral politics lately, but how could that possibly be?

    Oh, my. There are a lot of names I recognize already listed here. More to come, and details.
    As the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to unfold, a laundry list of celebrities, business magnates and socialites who have flown anywhere near the registered sex offender’s orbit are now tainted with pedo-polonium. Many of them, such as Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak, and Victoria’s Secret boss Les Wexner have sought to distance themselves from Epstein and his activities – however their attempts have fallen on deaf ears considering their extensive ties to the pedophile.

    Who knew Rand Paul could be such an effective negotiator.
    One day after the Republican senator and son of Ron Paul was reported to be Trump’s liaison to negotiate with Iran in hopes of easing tensions, sending the price of oil tumbling, the Guardian report that Iran has offered a deal with the US in which it would “formally and permanently” accept enhanced inspections of its nuclear program, in return for the permanent lifting of US sanctions.

    Neocons in high places can’t let peace happen. They will shrivel and die.
    Update: In response to President Trump’s announcement earlier in the day that a U.S. Navy ship had “destroyed” an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he was not aware of any downing, according to Reuters:
    “We have no information about losing a drone today,” Zarif told reporters at the United Nations before a meeting with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-18/us-navy-shoots-down-iranian-drone-trump

    Turkey knows how to open a negotiation. they don’t want the expensive and does-nothing-well F-35 “Turkey”.
    ​ ​As expected, Turkey blasted the White House’s prior day announcement that it has killed Turkey’s involvement in the F-35 joint strike fighter program after Ankara received a first batch of S-400 Russian-made air defense components starting last week. Turkey’s foreign ministry called on the US to rectify its “mistake”.
    ​ ​“This unilateral step is incompatible with the spirit of alliance and does not rely on any legitimate justification,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a strong-worded statement immediately following the White House press release. “We call on the United States to come back from this mistake that will cause irreparable wounds in our strategic relations,” it said.​ (heh, heh, heh…)​

    Turkey Trolls Trump

    Turkey Trolls Trump

    That’s escalating quickly!
    “Russia is ready to sell its super-maneuverable Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets to Turkey, the head of the Russian state conglomerate Rostec said Thursday,” according to Turkey’s English language Daily Sabah.
    “If our Turkish colleagues express a desire, we are ready to work out the deliveries of the Su-35,” Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov said.

    Three weeks after a meeting between the countries who singed the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was ditched by US, French, British and German officials said the trade mechanism which was proposed last summer – designed to circumvent both SWIFT as well as US sanctions banning trade with Iran – called Instex, is now operational.
    ​ ​And while we await for the White House to threaten Europe with even greater tariffs unless it ends this special purpose vehicle – it already did once back in May when it warned that anyone associated with the SPV could be barred from the U.S. financial system if it goes into effect – a response from the US is now assured, because in the biggest attack on the dollar as a reserve currency to date, on Thursday, Russia signaled its willingness to join the controversial payments channel, and has called on Brussels to expand the new mechanism to cover oil exports, the FT reported.

    If I may, I want to provide a diversion from the popular meme that Trump is executing brilliant strategy with every move. Here’s a man who lost the popular vote by a couple of million in 2016 (if you dispute that, please don’t confuse voter registration fraud with voter fraud). To roll to an easy victory in 2020, he’d have to either increase turnout among the MAGA hat wearers or change a lot of people’s minds to his POV. The former is certainly possible, although the Evangelicals were already reliable in 2016. That latter, in my opinion, is nearly impossible. Maybe there are a silent cohort of 2016 Clinton voters who are getting on the Donny train, who knows?

    One more thing. I am a definite “Republicans suck, Democrats suck” type of voter. But I think Orange Julius is a little bit much (ahem, racist) and will vote, with nose held, for whomever the Democrats put up next year. Think I am the only one?

    Ken,

    The Dems don’t have one valid candidate other than Bernie and Tulsi, whom they won’t nominate. And their only plan is not being Trump. It’s too poor

    ‘IRAN’ DRONE

    The US says the drone was destroyed ‘immediately’ but then says it was downed by electronic interference, which is not ‘immediate’ to my mind.

    Given the closeness to the ship it would have easy to recover the debris to prove it was Iranian. Even some film footage, anything…any evidence at all!

    Unfortunately the US has a habit of lying and in this case I would believe Iran.

    If the ordinary people are responsible for the majority of GDP growth, then most of the ordinary people need more money to spend, to make the GDP higher.

    If you ( you = the rich and powerful) don’t want the GDP to grow then cut wages, cut social services, increase interest on borrowing, make housing unaffordable, put tariffs on cheap imports, increase cost until people have no money to spend, print money for a selected few, and give money to the rich (yourself).

    “So: $100 million for the victims and $5 billion for the airlines. Yeah, makes perfect sense”.

    Ilargi,

    You’re right, the Democratic plan stinks. I also have Bernie and Tulsi at the top of my list. But, incompetent as the Dems are, I don’t want a Trump running a society that will be fighting over scraps. He is about the worst person you can imagine being at the helm in a contracting society.

    In the end, the popular vote for D and R in 2020 won’t vary by more than 2-3%.

    This was the wettest coldest spring we have had in many years. We sat out last night had some wine and watched the sunset.. last year we could not have done that we would have been eaten alive. saw maybe 1/2 dozen mosquitos. The birds here have a disease they walk around with their mouths open the cannot drink and they eventually die of thirst. The lightning bugs seem to be about 1/10th of what they were last year, We live in a rural very clean area. People are worried that there kids may have to grow up and have socialized medicine or that the democratic party may move to the left. . All that may just be deck chairs on the titanic. Lets keep fracking and spraying poison and opening up the wild areas. lets see how that plays out. and now from Canada

    Raul totally agree on Tulsi any chance she could be featured more. The MSM will not. I think she is the only vet running. and the only real anti war candidate. She still needs 30,000 separate donors to get to the third debate even a dollar will make a difference. My wife and I have been trying to spread the message but we do not have much bandwidth.
