Varney on Dow Hitting 26,000: ‘Inexplicable’ That Mainstream Media Ignores Rally!

Fox Insider News ^ | January 16, 2018 | Staff
Posted on 1/16/2018, 9:37:02 AM by yoe

The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed the 26,000 point milestone at the opening bell on Tuesday.

The Dow made the latest 1,000 point milestone move in a record-setting seven sessions, breaking the previous record of moving 1,000 points in 23 sessions. That record was set when the Dow moved from 24,000 to 25,000.

“Investors smell profit, more and more from American corporations. And that’s the bedrock for stock prices,” Stuart Varney said on “Fox & Friends.”

I have two thoughts:

1. Since the only apparent source is Dick Durbin, a well known liar, I doubt that Trump actually said it.

2. If they are not sh!thole countries, then why are people so desperate to flee them?

That offhand remark has really got the nation doing some deep thinking. Good. Move past the ‘not very nice’ factor, and think about what Mr. Trump means by it. Most real Sh*tHole cities do not want you to examine what it really means, so they try to cover the phrase with racist overtones.

The press’s constant description of Trump as a racist, a white supremacist, a fascist, and an anti-Semite has been a Big Lie. It is meant to hurt the president, but it mostly damages the country and the media. To cite the most often provided “evidence” for the president’s racism, the president never said or implied that the neo-Nazis at the infamous Charlottesville, Va, demonstrations were “fine people.” The “fine people” he referred to were the pro- and anti-statue removal demonstrators.

How strange to hear a member of the media speak the truth...

I want Trump to strike back, but wish he’d do it by shaming them.. making their remarks childish. What they have been doing is very childish... spending this much time on one word that all of them use is so childish, I turn off every Fox person who talks on that one word.

Trump should use what Rush said today about durbin and the fiasco. Answer the charge with how ridiculous and elementary they are to spend time on that when the stock market hit another high today ... they are like school kids .... do whatever they don’t want to be linked to.
Don’t just deny it or call them names.. keep his adult attitude but bring them down to ‘childish’ behavior.

Interesting how folks didn’t seem to have any moral issues with that “madness”.

Especially given the lack of criminal prosecutions for the related FRAUD.

I heard a clip where the DHS secretary testfied to the judiciary committee, in answer to a question from lil dickie his own self, that there was so much profanity being thrown around in that room that she really isn’t sure who said what particular word.

“2. As a rule, a president of the United States should not label countries, let alone continents, “sh**holes.” I don’t know what word the president actually used, but had he used the word “dysfunctional” instead of “sh**hole,” that actually might have been a service to the people of many of these countries.”

No thanks, $hit hole is the proper description to utilize, and in the case of Haiti, it’s completely accurate because even in their “capitol city,” they don’t have a sewer system. But rather a series of “$hit holes” into which their bodily wastes flow, to be bailed out by “public servants” utilizing buckets after everyone goes to bed each night.

You have to love Dennis’s clarity of thought. I feel like the day isn’t complete when I don’t get to hear at least a little of his show. He nails it.

In public, certainly. But the President said it in a PRIVATE meeting, if he indeed said it at all. Lindsay Graham used similar language to describe Mexico and other third world nations ("hellholes") in a PUBLIC forum, yet received no criticism for it. So as usual, President Trump is held to a different standard than any other pubic official, including past Presidents.

So many conservative spoke persons talk about it as if it’s a given that it is true.
