MAGAnomics

PDJT negativism has changed. The Russian Collusion Hoax is officially dead. The use of this hoax to undermine the Trump Presidency has failed, spectacularly so at times. One can tell the hoax is done because the MSM and Wall Street have switched gears and are now trying to talk the American public into a recession. They know that, if they can succeed at this, then there might be a chance that a Democrat, any Democrat, someone who they could control, could win the Presidency in 2020.

This past week the pundits at the MSM were screaming about “an inverted yield curve” that they said foretold an impending recession. According to them it had not happened since 2007 right before the beginning of the Great Recession. Of course, this was a lie since this had happened last year and no recession has appeared on the horizon. Wall Street took note of the screaming and promptly lost 800 points.

Eureka!

sunbeam August 16, 2019 Comments Off

Eureka! An economic analyst who understands what is actually happening! This embedded video with Mohamed El-Erian accurately explains what is going on economically around the world. As Sundance at CTH, who has been saying this since PDJT took office, notes,

Finally an economic analyst gets prime-time media pundits to listen as he describes the fundamental difference between the U.S. “Economy” (Main Street) and the U.S. “Markets” (Wall Street). Charles Payne understands most of this, but El-Erian has it nailed.

Allianz Group chief economic advisor, Mohamed El-Erian, accurately describes what is happening in an era where deglobalization is taking place. The U.S. economy is strong; however, the multinationals on Wall Street -invested overseas- are exposed. Thus there’s a disconnect and accompanying market volatility.

This is well worth watching because this is the first well-regarded financial pundit that is speaking truth to Wall Street in terms the panel pundits will understand/accept.

There is an interesting slam of the Obama policies by the host at the 6:08 mark. Are more and more people coming around to the fact that Obama’s presidency was a disaster?

The Sky Is Falling!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! These are the ridiculous proclamations of the MSM because the yield curve has turned negative. That’s where long-term bond rates (returns on investment) are lower than short-term rates (returns).

The yield on the Treasury’s benchmark 10-year note fell to 1.59% Wednesday afternoon. Earlier in the day it had briefly traded below the return on the Treasury’s 2-year note, something investors haven’t seen since June 2007. That spooked the equity markets, with the S&P 500 Index down by more than 3%.

Financial pundits in the MSM led by CNN immediately called for a US recession. They pointed to the fact that China’s industrial production grew at the slowest rate in 17 years in July while Germany’s economic output actually shrank slightly in the second quarter.

Let’s look at the bigger picture from the 30,000 foot level. One has to start with the idea that, in economics, there is something known as supply and demand. This idea is economics 101 and has been intentionally overlooked by the MSM financial “experts.”

Does this make any sense to anyone? Another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Ebola Strikes MSNBC

sunbeam August 13, 2019 Comments Off

The disease is spreading over at MSNBC. As reported previously, MSNBC is home to a slew of hosts and reporters infected with the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) ever seen. TDS recently displayed itself in another on-air personality.

Nicolle Wallace is the host of MSNBC’s 4 PM program, “Deadline: White House.” She bills herself as a Republican but she abandoned the Republican Party long ago. Wallace supports all the hot button issues of the Democrats. Abortion on demand, gun control, open borders, amnesty for everyone, and just about every other item on the left’s laundry list of causes.

ICE Raids & CNN

As many people know at this point in time, ICE conducted a round-up of illegal aliens at Mississippi food processing plants last week. In total, some 700 such individuals were apprehended.

Over more than a decade, hundreds of undocumented workers across the country told federal officials they worked at food processing plants in Mississippi.

Some immigrants were outfitted with ankle monitors while awaiting deportation hearings. Authorities were able to track their comings and goings which, in many cases, included a number of Mississippi food processing plants.

TDS Strikes Again

sunbeam August 9, 2019 1 Comment

Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS is running amuck at MSNBC. This week they had on an analyst who made up the theory that PDJT is sending coded messages to neo-Nazis and white supremacists through his use of the US flag at half-staff. Really!

Every time you think the MSM can’t get any worse, they go and surprise you with something you never thought imaginable. MSNBC was the winner again. On MSNBC’s weekday morning show, Morning Joe, a co-host said that PDJT wanted mass shootings to happen. Truly this is an example of someone who appears to be severely afflicted with the disease.

MSNBC Insanity

Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS is running amuck at MSNBC. The network of Rachel Maddow, whose show has been hemorrhaging viewers since the Russian hoax was revealed, put another analyst on national television who appears to be severely afflicted with TDS.
