Boom: Despite Media's Recession Chatter, US Economic Confidence Soars to 19-Year High

| 08/28/2019 | Guy Benson
Over the last few weeks, we've been exploring the competing narratives about the US economy -- with the White House insisting that all is well, as many in the media hype up the possibility of a coming recession. My
general conclusion at this point has been that while there are some soft spots and genuine warning signs, the economy's fundamentals remain quite strong. Unemployment has been quite low, the job market has been quite robust, and wage growth has broken free from years of frustrating stagnation. We also recently received positive news on other indicators, including productivity, retail sales, and...

Podesta tamps down Clinton 2020 chatter: 'She's not running'

Hillary Clinton's former campaign chairman John Podesta on Tuesday tamped down on speculation that the former Democratic presidential nominee may seek another White House bid in 2020, calling the idea "media catnip" and stressing that Clinton "is not running." "She
says she's not running for president," Podesta said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." He added that the former secretary of State was currently "in Puerto Rico trying to help the people, that Donald Trump has abandoned, through the Clinton Foundation. Trying to bring some relief to the people of Puerto Rico." "I take her at her word. She's not running...

Chatter: Martha McSally Could Still Represent Arizona In The Senate...Here's What Needs To Happen

| November 13, 2018 | Matt Vespa
It’s official. Democrat Kyrsten Sinema has emerged victorious over Republican Martha McSally in Arizona’s Senate race. Sinema
will occupy the seat that will be vacated by spineless Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who would not have won re-election to his seat if he ran for re-election. Flake’s approval ratings are abysmal—and he would have lost handily in a primary challenge. Congrats to @kyrstensinema. I wish her success. I’m grateful to all those who supported me in this journey. I’m inspired by Arizonans’ spirit and our state’s best days are ahead of us. pic.twitter.com/tw0uKgi3oO— McSally For Senate (@MarthaMcSally) November 13, 2018 For...

Trump's admission about Michael Flynn prompts obstruction of justice chatter
|
|
Washington Examiner ^
| December 2, 2017 | Daniel Chaitin
“I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI,” Trump said. “He
has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!” The first part of that tweet is significant, noted Benjamin Wittes, who is editor in chief of Lawfare, because Trump for the first time suggested that he knew about Flynn's "legal jeopardy" in February, when Flynn was let go from the Trump administration for lying about his contacts with the Russians. Furthermore, one day after Flynn's ouster, Trump...

Obama team’s 2020 signals spark chatter among Dems

| September 3, 2017 | Amie Parnes
Democrats are expressing concern that advisers and aides to former President Obama have already begun signaling which candidate they might support for the White House in 2020. Valerie
Jarrett, one of Obama’s closest confidantes, and David Simas, the CEO of Obama’s foundation, have sent smoke signals urging former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) to enter the race. Simas, who once served as a top aide to Patrick, is an ardent supporter of the former governor, sources tell The Hill, while Jarrett has privately told friends that she would do what it takes to support him. And Politico reported last month...

As most Democrats try to peel themselves off the canvas today or simply choose to lie there inert for as long as it takes to not be seen or heard or to see or hear, sources close to U.S. Senator Cory Booker began quietly pounding the 2020 war drums for their guy.
The Donald Trump stunned Hillary Clinton apparently had Booker on her VP short list, but opted instead for Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, who was supposed to pull Virginia and North Carolina for the doomed ticket. Kaine barely squeaked Virginia, but fumbled away NC, and appears hardly muscled up...

Rudy Giuliani Crushes Pre-Election Chatter About His Alleged Demise
|
|
observer.com ^
| Ken Kurson
Sometime early this summer, Rudy decided to bet on Trump. It hadn’t been a smooth ride. Rudy
has been close to the Bush family for years, and especially fond of Jeb. He is also friendly with Chris Christie, whose rise to executive after earning headlines as a zealous prosecutor was frequently compared to Rudy’s own career arc. Even by the time of the New York primary, when it seemed clear that Trump was going to cinch the nomination, Rudy issued a weird non-endorsement, saying he intended to vote for Trump personally but wasn’t quite ready to endorse him. But that’s...

it starts to drone and sound like a race to finish the decades. Others say it makes it difficult for them to pray quietly.

“Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough could soon go public as a couple. Page
Six has exclusively learned that Brzezinski and her husband of 23 years have quietly divorced. Popular MSNBC stars Scarborough and Brzezinski are widely rumored to be romantically involved — and there’s plenty of on-air chemistry for all to see. But while Scarborough is also divorced — since 2013 — the TV duo have never confirmed they’re romantically involved. An NBC insider told us, “Everybody at 30 Rock knows they are a couple . . . They are constantly together, they arrive and leave events together, even...

Ryan Broadens Path for Cruz By Dampening GOP Nomination Chatter

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan issued an emphatic statement Tuesday that he would not accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination this summer at the GOP convention in Cleveland, effectively broadening U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's potential path to becoming the party's nominee. "Let
me be clear: I do not want, nor will I accept the Republican nomination," the Wisconsin Republican told reporters at a news conference at Republican National Committee headquarters. "So let me speak directly to the delegates on this: If no candidate has a majority on the first ballot, I believe you should only choose a person who actually...

Porn Star From a Ted Cruz Ad Is the Chatter at Bob Jones University

| February 12
In a corner of Bob Jones University, the evangelical institution where presidential candidates have long gathered to highlight their faith, Senator Ted Cruz stared into the cameras to answer the question that had almost certainly never been posed inside these halls. What
was up with that porn star in your attack ad? "It happened that one of the actresses," Mr. Cruz told reporters coyly, "had a more colorful film history than we were aware." The remarks came a day after Mr. Cruz's campaign pulled an ad knocking Senator Marco Rubio for his shifting positions on immigration. It had featured a...

Court overturns convictions for online sex chatter with minors

Did you know it’s perfectly legal in Texas for an adult to send sexually explicit communications to minors online, as long as there is no clear intent to harm the child? The
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has just overturned the prison convictions of seven men who did just that. They were serving sentences of two years to life, and now many more are also expected to be freed. It’s because the courts overturned a 2005 law that jailed such people, and now local parents and lawmakers are scrambling to protect the kids. The courts say anyone convicted before 2015...

Media Chatter: House Speaker Paul Ryan Is The Establishment’s Next Challenger to Face Trump
|
|
breitbart.com ^
| 1/11/16 | Neil Munro
House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan may become the GOP establishment's 2016 candidate who can snatch the nomination or the leadership of the GOP away from pro-American populist Donald Trump, according to D.C. media chatter. But
the move - if it happens - may be too late. Any fight between the increasingly popular Trump and the decreasingly popular Ryan would mark a last-ditch effort by the GOP's establishment-business-wing to deny any political power to its conservative voters, likely splitting the party just before the elections that will decide which party gets to control the White House and the U.S. Senate.

Hillary’s a hypocrite: ‘Obama’s a Muslim’ chatter started with her team—even MSNBC remembers it

Long memories are Hillary Clinton's worst enemy On Saturday, Donald Trump posted a note to Twitter informing the interested that he had no intention of defending Obama against claims that there was something shady about his oh-so-obvious, deeply-held, Christian faith. Said
Trump: “Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don’t think so!” Of course, the Donald is right, and you probably read the boss’s breakdown of why this whole non-story is ridiculous, but there are a couple of salient points to add. The first is that Obama is...
