This is an ACTUAL question from Ryan Lizza.
"Does President Trump believe that it was a good thing that the south lost the Civil War?"@PressSec smacks down Lizza's "question": "Your 1st question is absolutely absurd. He's proud of the United States of America." pic.twitter.com/4qq0KFiP4Y— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) June 29, 2020

Great post, NIKK.
I hear all the time of dims waking up and changing their tune.
They were upset at how their liberal state governments were handling the CV but now with all the ALLOWED looting and rioting, calls for defunding the police, they have finally seen the light.
I couldn’t believe Lizza actually asked this question.
I find the WHPCA to be a bunch of morons.
Their questions today were a waste of time.
As usual.
I’m glad they were able to defend themselves.
I hate Microsoft.
Who’s going to remember the first password?
I just received a text from a medical place wanting payment, but I have a payment plan set up with them and they’ve been taking the payment out every month.

An organizer for the “ExpectUs” group tells me protesters never antagonized. When asked why they entered private property, he told me disturbance was needed to get their message across. More tonight on @KMOV— Emma Hogg (@EmmaHoggTV) June 29, 2020
Sweet Melania won one of the early races at the track In New York that held the Belmont Stanes later that day. I don’t know if this horse was named for our First Lady or not, but it is an unusual name.
W picked Roberts.
She’s the champion of exits!!! LOL
That’s good gub..lol
“Over the years, we have periodically reported of the occasional gold bar discovered as counterfeit in Manhattan’s Diamond District which instead of containing the yellow precious metal would be filled with gold-plated tungsten or in some cases copper. The news would spark a brief wave of outrage, prompting physical gold holders to run ultrasound spot checks of their inventory, at which point interest would wane and why not: buyer, after all, beware in gold as in every other market, and if someone is spending thousands to buy fake gold, well that’s Darwinism in action.
Yet one market which seemed stubbornly immune to any counterfeiting was that of physical gold in China, which was odd considering that over the past decade China had emerged as the world’s biggest counterfeiter of various, mostly industrial metals used to secure bank loans, better known as “ghost collateral”, and which adding insult to injury, would frequently be rehypothecated meaning often several banks would have claims to the same (fake) asset.
All that is about to change with the discovery of what may be one of the biggest gold counterfeiting scandal in recent history. And yes, not only does it involve China, but it emerges from a city that has become synonymous for all that is scandalous about China: Wuhan itself.
With that preamble in mind, we introduce readers to Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Inc., a company which as the name implies was founded and operates out of Wuhan, and which describes itself on its website as “A Company with a Golden future.”
In retrospect, it probably meant “copper” future, because as a remarkable expose by Caixin has found, more than a dozen Chinese financial institutions, mainly trust companies (i.e., shadow banks) loaned 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) over the past five years to Wuhan Kingold Jewelry with pure gold as collateral and insurance policies to cover any losses. There was just one problem: the “gold” turned out to be gold-plated copper.
Some more background: Kingold - whose name was probably stolen from Kinross Gold, one of the world’s largest gold miners - is the largest privately owned gold processor in central China’s Hubei province. Its shares are listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York (although its current market cap of just $10MM is a far cry from its all time highs hit when the company IPOed on the Nasdaq around 2010) . The company is led by Chairman Jia Zhihong, an intimidating ex-military man who is the controlling shareholder.”
