“The President grew up in a world where if someone didn’t produce, he was gone - “You’re Fired”, but in the government, and especially the swamp, you just can’t get rid of them. Look how long it took to get rid of Jeffie Sessions!”

If he appointed “Deplorables” instead of Deep Staters, Maybe Donald would not be sinking like a stone.

It’s almost like the FED wants to tank the economy. Oh wait... they do.

POTUS has to drop the hammer on the Deep State, the DC Establishment, the media, Hollywood and Academia now. They are never going to go away nicely.

"When there are no political options, what is next?"

Some combination of economic collapse, anarchy brought about by a complete open borders invasion, an attempted dictatorship by the Left and open rebellion/burn it all down and the survivors can sort out what comes next.

Why the HELL does Trump appoint people like Powell as Chairman of the Federal Reserve? A Deep state globalist instead of the many loyal conservatives he could have picked. And look at what he gets in return - a stock market crash designed by the Fed to wreck his presidency.

“Make no mistake the Fed is trying to wreck the Trump recovery of America. They want to punish America for electing President Trump. “

After the increase the Fed Funds Rate will be 2.5%

In 1981, the first year of Reagan’s presidency, the Fed Funds Rate was nearly 20%.

So much hysteria around what is an historically low Fed Funds Rate.

The world will end because the frugal will be getting a tiny return on their savings.

Stop praying and spring into action!! God will NOT help if we don’t take that first step!! Sorry but our prayers are just bouncing off the walls if we just sit there waiting for God to do all the work. Without action nothing will ever happen..a CW and WWII HAD to be fought to gain peace and civility....the constitution, our freedoms, the right to bare arms, freedom of speech etc..everything that we hold dear to our hearts like, justice,and righteousness in America are sitting ducks !! Where has all the “IF THEY EVEN TRY TO IMPEACH or TRY TO BRING HIM DOWN” etc, macho talk gone?!! It was all BS! I have to hand it to antifa, at least they fight for what they believe in..sorry but that’s the truth! Let’s face it friends WE ARE COWARDS!! The evil rats are coming for our guns and we will easy succumb to their wishes without firing a single shot....we have become a nation of patriot wussies!! If ANYONE HERE has ideas to fight the swamp and the evil globalist bastards..SPEAK UP!! AND don’t recommend we burn up the hill’s phone lines...that don’t work NO MORE!! Both houses have gone rogue!

Asking God for the right thing to do before acting is probably the best thing to do. Otherwise with all the criticism coming from you what are you going to do in this vein? Please do not avoid the question if you make such statements back them up.

To: CincyRichieRich; Professional

I’ll give an exceptional ping to Professional here, because we were discussing this recently. Yes. Under the circumstances, the FOMC just made a glaringly wrong move again. Their intentions are crystal clear to everyone.

It appears that their bosses’ pride is boundless. That will be a good thing.

We’ll show them some market changes again if necessary. We’ll choose the time.
