Trump mentioned on Hannity’s radio show yesterday that this quarter will be higher than the last. 4.1% last quarter, perhaps 5+% this quarter.

Driving home yesterday I heard a reporter on the radio stating the 4.1 GDP was the culmination of a financial comeback starting 2014. Although he did say the word “Obama.” there was no question he was giving Obama the credit. Then he said it was unsustainable. These people are such fools!!

[I want the USA back]

It’s pathetic and mildly amusing to see how the vermin in the media attempt to change reality, by saying things like: “it’s not sustainable,” “this started with obama,” “yeah, but the ‘trade war’ is going to ruin us all.”
Blah blah blah.

...these economists know less about capitalism than Mad Maxine does about Free Speech.

LOL - Maxine Waters becomes the face of the Democrat Party....

Thanks Bray. I am always reminded of this quote as I watch local small companies expand and hire:

He has been dogged on unleashing the power of low cost energy by tapping into coal and oil and LNG.

Net Result is lowest energy costs on the planet and lowest costs of raw materials as feedstock for the global plastics industry.

What gets me is them saying it was because of the surge in soybean purchases due to the Chinese tariff war. If so, why didn’t these prescient geniuses go long on soybeans and cash in? This is more like floundering for any excuse to downplay good news and grabbing something out of thin air.

Wonder what they’re going to use in the next quarter when the pace is “sustained”.

"This is an amazing report since it has happened in such a short time."

And it couldn't have come at a worse time - FOR THE DEMOCRATS!

It's soon to be August, and the Democrats desperately need to go home to campaign and tell people what a terrible economy President Trump has. They need to wail about what a failure tariff's have become. So much bad news, and gloom and doom. Except the only way they could have gone home with such terrible news is if Hillary had been elected!

Americans have a choice, and I deeply pray they understand the difference.

1. Elect Republicans and keep President Trump on track to MAGA.

2. Elect Democrats and you get MAMA - Make America Miserable Again.

Look, what has happened is that the Establishment Media has so gone off the deep end they have become a MAD magazine parody of themselves. No wonder why the phrase fake news sticks to them like Superglue.
