Stock market ends at record LOL
Trump beat the Democrats with a silly stick and Won. LOL
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Is there any doubt that the Democratic Party will be blamed for the government shutdown brought on by the DACA showdown? They insisted on a DACA deal that would have enabled everybody-and-his-uncle in a DACA person�s family to migrate to this country, a formula known as chain migration. Did they really believe that would go over? Or is it just more identity politics posturing?
I�m not the first observer to point out that it looks like the Democratic Party puts the interests of non-citizens above everybody else in the country. That�s what will be remembered about this gambit at the polls in November. It also looks like an engineered misdirection away from the more ominous fast-developing story about political corruption at the highest level of the Justice Department and its subsidiary, the FBI.

Hmm, at least tariffs aren't inflationary, right? Taxes don't count, right?
The Fed likes to rely on DATA not anecdotes for its inflation expectations BUT inflation expectations are driven by anecdotes -- so Mr. Bonds, do ya feel lucky?

nh the only problem I see that the 10-yr is still too low and more importantly too slow in its yield rise to 2.66%. In other words: maybe promising but too tame in its action.
Puppy needs to rise higher and quicker to cause a bit of volatility in order to yield some seriously profitable trading opportunities.
IF is the single issue of govt debt, I say keep the govt shut as long as possible - its debt and debt refinance needs will - hopefully - grow and again hopefully that will raise int rate.
What other hope do I have ? - tia

Far out. I saw the piece as surreal comedy but in reality it's horrifying that the morons are so uninformed and appear to be taking over. If that passes for informed debate in the U.S., well I don't know what to say. On one level it must be hilarious on the other hand that means you have zombies making decisions. This holier-than-thou know-it-all crap is beyond belief coming from people with such obvious intellectual limitations.

What's it all about Alfie
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch knew well in advance of FBI Director James Comey's 2016 press conference that he would recommend against charging Hillary Clinton, according to information turned over to the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Friday.
The revelation was included in 384 pages of text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and it significantly diminishes the credibility of Lynch's earlier commitment to accept Comey's recommendation � a commitment she made under the pretense that the two were not coordinating with each other.
And it gets worse. Comey and Lynch reportedly knew that Clinton would never face charges even before the FBI conducted its three-hour interview with Clinton, which was supposedly meant to gather more information into her mishandling of classified information.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation has lost about five months worth of text messages between two staffers who worked on probes into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails and possible collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, according to a Republican lawmaker.
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee, revealed in a Jan. 20 letter that the FBI's technical system failed to preserve texts that were exchanged between Lisa Page, a lawyer, and Peter Strzok, an agent, between mid-December 2016 through mid-May of 2017.
A spokesman for the FBI and a spokeswoman for the Justice Department declined to comment.
