With almost no inflation, our Country is needlessly being forced to pay a MUCH higher interest rate than other countries only because of a very misguided Federal Reserve. In addition, Quantitative Tightening is continuing, making it harder for our Country to compete. As good.........as we have done, it could have been soooo much better. Interest rate costs should have been much lower, & GDP & our Country’s wealth accumulation much higher. Such a waste of time & money. Also, very unfair that other countries manipulate their currencies and pump money in! 5:02 AM - 22 Jul 2019

It is far more costly for the Federal Reserve to cut deeper if the economy actually does, in the future, turn down! Very inexpensive, in fact productive, to move now. The Fed raised & tightened far too much & too fast. In other words, they missed it (Big!). Don’t miss it again!

The Amazon Washington Post front page story yesterday was total Fake News. They said “Advisors wrote new talking points and handed him reams of opposition research on the four Congresswomen.” Now really, does that sound like me? What advisors, there were no talking points,........except for those stated by me, & “reams of paper” were never given to me. It is a made up story meant to demean & belittle. The Post had no sources. The facts remain the same, that we have 4 Radical Left Congresswomen who have said very bad things about Israel & our Country! 5:31 AM - 22 Jul 2019

The Mainstream Media is out of control. They constantly lie and cheat in order to get their Radical Left Democrat views out their for all to see. It has never been this bad. They have gone bonkers, & no longer care what is right or wrong. This large scale false reporting is sick! 5:37 AM - 22 Jul 2019

Fake News Equals the Enemy of the People! 5:38 AM - 22 Jul 2019

Highly conflicted Robert Mueller should not be given another bite at the apple. In the end it will be bad for him and the phony Democrats in Congress who have done nothing but waste time on this ridiculous Witch Hunt. Result of the Mueller Report, NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!.......But the questions should be asked, why were all of Clinton’s people given immunity, and why were the text messages of Peter S and his lover, Lisa Page, deleted and destroyed right after they left Mueller, and after we requested them(this is Illegal)? 5:53 AM - 22 Jul 2019

The Report of Iran capturing CIA spies is totally false. Zero truth. Just more lies and propaganda (like their shot down drone) put out by a Religious Regime that is Badly Failing and has no idea what to do. Their Economy is dead, and will get much worse. Iran is a total mess! 6:08 AM - 22 Jul 2019

Going with First Lady to pay our respects to Justice Stevens. Leaving now! 7:32 AM - 22 Jul 2019

The “Squad” is a very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart. They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border...And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country! 7:48 AM - 22 Jul 2019

I am pleased to announce that a deal has been struck with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy - on a two-year Budget and Debt Ceiling, with no poison pills........This was a real compromise in order to give another big victory to our Great Military and Vets! 2:44 PM - 22 Jul 2019

When we rip down and totally replace a badly broken and dilapidated Barrier on the Southern Border, something which cannot do the job, the Fake News Media gives us zero credit for building a new Wall. We have replaced many miles of old Barrier with powerful new Walls! 4:16 PM - 22 Jul 2019

Enter Bibi

Food for thought.

It may be, as Jeff Goldberg asserts, that Bibi Netanyahu is just frustrated over President Obama’s refusal to approve an Israeli attack on Iran. Or it may be something else: an unprecedented attempt by a putative American ally to influence a U.S. presidential campaign. Either way, Netanyahu’s recent behavior is outrageous. He is trying push us into a war that is not in our national interest, a war that would only further destabilize a region that is already teetering near chaos. He is trying to get us to damage our relations with the rest of the world–especially the Russians and Chinese, whom we spent great diplomatic effort luring into the Iranian economic sanctions–so that he can pursue a strategy that even the Israeli military and intelligence communities find questionable. President Obama will not yield to this pressure, nor should he–and every American should know the implications of what Netanyahu and his American neoconservative allies, including Mitt Romney, are proposing.

Iran is not Afghanistan or Libya. It is not a bunch of tents in the desert. It is also not Iraq or Pakistan, clumsy collections of tribes and ethnicities cobbled together by Europeans a century ago. It is an actual place, a real country with real borders. It has the best-educated population in the region

U.S. vulnerable to missiles, panel says

Wait, who is selling this opinion?
"For too long, the U.S. has been committed to expensive missile defense strategies without sufficient consideration of the costs and real utility," said L. David Montague, the panel's co-chairman and a retired president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space.

Oh look, this recommendation is brought to you by ......
Yes that's right you guessed it.
Brought to you by those that would PROFIT from it

After two years of study, a panel of top scientists and military experts working for the National Research Council has concluded that the nation's protections against missile attack suffer from major shortcomings, leaving the United States vulnerable to certain kinds of long-range strikes.

In a report, the panel suggested that President Obama shift course and expand a system inherited from President George W. Bush, setting aside parts of an antimissile strategy he initiated in 2009. By doing so, the panel said, the nation's defenses would be better prepared to defeat the long-range missiles that the report suggests Iran may be developing.

It is the first time that the research council - an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, chartered by Congress to give scientific and technical advice to the government and considered the nation's pre-eminent group of scientists - has weighed in on the nation's overall plans for defeating missile attacks.

Intelligence Committee Chair Describes Explosive Confrontation Between Netanyahu and American Ambassador

And now, for the ultimate of release coincidences, in a
"No look this way" directive, we will all hear the rehash, Of Mike Roger's much denied argument, with "the Chosen's" very own, bad tempered bad boy,
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Damn I hate reruns

Rep. Mike Rogers, the Michigan Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, says that his much-discussed meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem late last month did, in fact, devolve into an sharp confrontation between Netanyahu and the American ambassador to Israel, the former National Security Council official (and former Obama campaign Jewish liaison), Dan Shapiro.

Rogers told a Michigan radio interviewer earlier this week that he had not previously witnessed such a high-level confrontation, and he described Israeli leaders as being at "wits' end" over what they see as President Obama's unwillingness to provide them with his "red lines" in the effort to stop Iran's nuclear program. He also said that neither the Israelis nor the Iranians believe that Obama would use force to stop the nuclear program. (UPDATE: Rogers said as well he believes the Israelis will "probably" bomb Iran if they don't get clearer red lines from the U.S.)

Rogers description of the meeting directly contradicts repeated Administration assertions that there is "no daylight" on the Iran issue with the Israeli government. Shortly after the meeting took place, Israeli press reports appeared suggesting that Netanyahu and Shapiro had engaged in an argument, but Shapiro

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad concedes Iran sanctions hurting economy

None of this is humane, and it sickens me to think that in this day and age, that a people can be starved to death just because someone else wants them to.
Iran has done nothing wrong, the nuclear inspectors confirm that fact to.
So why the hell are they being starved to death?
Because they don't have a central bank that's why, just like Syria and Yemen and a few others.
This is the rich "elite" Zionists flexing their muscle, to break Iran into submission. Both China and Russia know it.

Facing growing discontent over soaring food prices, the Iranian president accused the West of waging "an all-out, hidden, heavy war" that had impeded Tehran's ability to export oil.

"There are barriers in transferring money, there are barriers in selling oil," he said in a live television talk show.

Although Mr Ahmadinejad predicted that Iran would weather the sanctions, saying "we have oil and the world needs it", his admission stood in stark contrast to earlier claims by his ministers that sanctions were having little impact.

And because Israel (or their government actually) pitches a fit, the people of Iran suffer.
Israel needs to show their own nuclear weapons, the world should question the threat of them.
This is just to bogus anymore, America backs Israel only because Mr. Ahmadinejad wants a fair trade on their oil rather than for the devalued debt ridden American dollar.
And it kills me that this article states that he concedes, no he doesn't he cares about his starving people, unlike Israel who is willing to put it's own people under the atrocities of war just to get their own way.
America make your voice heard, how much is your paycheck buying you now that the damned dollar has been debased so far, by the FED?
World speak up, Israels bull shit has gone on long enough. How long does Gaza have to stay imprisoned by Israel, just because they can?
Everyone it's time to step up and put "the chosen" back in their place like the rest of us.

The International Energy Agency estimates that Iranian oil imported by major consumers had fallen to one million barrels a day since the start of the year, a decline of more than a third.

European Union and US sanctions against Iran's energy and financial sectors have caused a sharp decline in the value of the rial, the country's currency, and pushed the price of even staple commodities to a level that many Iranians cannot afford.

Israel's future 'at risk' if Iran strike sanctioned

Hmm I wonder what those defects were. Here in America we're never told if there were problems. It's all made out to be just guns and roses resulting in the ultimate victory.

The former Supreme Court judge appointed by Israel's government to investigate the defects of its 2006 war against Lebanon has issued an outspoken warning that a unilateral strike on Iran's nuclear facilities could "endanger the future of the country".

Here's hoping Israel will listen for everybody's sake

Judge Eliyahu Winograd's warning came as the US was reported to be planning a series of military preparations designed both to convince Israel to hold back from such a strike and Iran to take more seriously the stalemated negotiations designed to halt its perceived progress towards a nuclear weapons capability.

Oh wow, the things you learn when you're cruisin the news

Judge Winograd used an Army Radio interview to deride the claim by the Defence Minister Ehud Barak that no more than 500 Israelis would be killed in retaliation for a strike and questioned whether his own severe criticism of the military's and the previous government's handling of the Lebanon war had been taken to heart.

According to The New York Times

Pro-Israel Language Removed From Democratic Party Platform

I think "We" as a country need to ask ourselves why these issues are worthy of either sides platform of presentation to the American people.
When did it go from being about America and the problems that "We" need to resolve, to being about every other foreign country and their brother?
Perhaps it's time (actually well past time) to begin focusing on the repeal of NAFTA and CAFTA, so that the United States can once more again build it's manufacturing base back to a sustainable size in which to support our country and it's "people" again. Our people need the jobs back that NAFTA and CAFTA took away.
When George Herbert Walker Bush formed the policy on what Bill Clinton would eventually signed, our Nation was one of hope and prosperity.Our children didn't worry about having employment opportunities, because "We" still had a manufacturing base.
Now there is no hope for them, because there is no sustainable employment in which to plan a future let alone a life upon.
The leaders of our Nation sold us out long ago, to fill their own pockets in their efforts to advance the "elite"

Several pro-Israel sections of the 2008 Democratic Party platform have been removed from the 2012 platform—on Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, and Hamas. The new platform represents another shift by the Obama Democrats toward the Palestinian position on key issues in the peace process.

For Jerusalem, the new platform has been brought into line with the Obama administration’s policy of not recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and supporting its division. Jerusalem is unmentioned in the 2012 document, whereas the 2008 and 2004 Democratic Party platforms declared “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel…It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.” The Obama administration’s refusal to recognize Jerusalem has been a point of significant controversy in recent months.

On the issue of Palestinian refugees, the new document has removed language from the 2004 and 2008 platforms specifying that Palestinian “refugees” should be settled in a future Palestinian state, not in Israel.

The 2004 platform:

Barack Obama poised to announce the 'red lines' that would trigger a US attack on Iran

It is long past the time to ask just who in the hell is running the government of the United States of America, Israel or it's elected official.
The US cannot finacial sustain another war, but because the spoiled child called Israel wants their own way, they persist with a constant pressure that Obama feels threatened enough to bow to because of it being an election year.
The chosen children need to sacrifice their own rather than
use the children of America to accomplish their dirty deeds.
If this war does go through, it's time to count the role of duel citizenship within the electoral body of our country's legal representatives.
I don't give a crap who their friends are "We" as a nation cannot even contemplate it.
If they do push it, it is then time to purge the stock market of anything that can be turned into a profit by it's use through war.
When war stops being profitable, there will be no more war.

As his naval forces prepare to stage unprecedented manoeuvres in the Persian Gulf, the president is said to be seeking to match growing military pressure on Tehran by making an explicit declaration of what the US will not tolerate.

Mr Obama has faced mounting criticism from Israel for failing publicly to state how far he is prepared to allow Iran to go before ordering military action.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, accused the president of lacking "resolve" on Sunday when he denounced the international community for not "placing a clear red line" for Iran.

Anxious to prevent Israel launching a unilateral attack, Mr Obama is considering complying with Mr Netanyahu's demand, the New York Times said.

An internal debate is under way within the White House as to how specific a

‘US to Iran: In case of Israeli strike, don’t fire on our bases’

And yet another fine example into the "Art of Shit stirring"
The story is squat, I have not been able to FACTUALLY find a shred of evidence to support that this rumor is true.
So it must be seen, as well as exposed, for what it actually is, just another manipulative ploy for the so called nation of Israel to guarantee it gets it's own way. So called for the simple reason that nations actually have defined borders, that don't grow as to when their leader sees fit.
Watch and see how many of the US legislative body jumps onto it's nonfactual position and demands s statement of clear unbridled aid, no matter what the cost is to the people of their own country.

Washington tells Tehran that it will not join in an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear program, Yedioth Ahronoth reports

What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

Interesting read and quite informative

Readers periodically ask me some variation on this question: “Why does the press follow every jot and tittle of Iran’s nuclear program, but we never see any stories about Israel’s nuclear weapons capability?”

It’s a fair question. Going back 10 years into Post archives, I could not find any in-depth reporting on Israeli nuclear capabilities, although national security writer Walter Pincus has touched on it many times in his articles and columns.

I spoke with several experts in the nuclear and nonproliferation fields , and they say that the lack of reporting on Israel’s nuclear weapons is real — and frustrating. There are some obvious reasons for this, and others that are not so obvious.

First, Israel refuses to acknowledge publicly that it has nuclear weapons. The U.S. government also officially does not

Bolton to Israel: Attack, It's Your Right

Former U.S. Ambassador to UN says Obama will not attack Iran, so Israel has to do it.

This is John Bolton

John Robert Bolton (born November 20, 1948) is an American lawyer and diplomat who has served in several Republican administrations. Appointed on a recess appointment, he served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from August 2005 until December 2006.[1] He resigned in December 2006, when the recess appointment would have otherwise ended,[2][3] because he was unlikely to win senate confirmation.[4][5]

Bolton is currently a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), frequent op-ed contributor to the Wall Street Journal and the National Review, Fox News Channel commentator, and of counsel to the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, in their Washington D.C. office.[6] He is also involved with a broad assortment of other conservative think tanks and policy institutes, including the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), Project for the New American Century (PNAC), Institute of East-West Dynamics, National Rifle Association, U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and the Council for National Policy (CNP). Known for his strong views on foreign policy, often equating diplomacy with weakness and indecisiveness,[7] Bolton is often described as a neoconservative,[8][9][10] though he personally rejects the term.[11]

It's quite obvious that he has a personal agenda, and yet the United States government, still authorized him to represent us, as a NATO ambassador
The uncouth question is:WHY?
The United States government has been infiltrated with many more that hold the same personal agendas that John Bolton does.
It's integrity has been compromised, and continues to be so, to this day.

Netanyahu slams 'disgrace' of Tehran summit

The use of the word Houlocaust, as well as that of the word anti-semitic, need to be addressed a little later on.
And I will get to it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday slammed the wide international participation at a Non-Aligned summit in Tehran as a "stain on humanity" following Iran's denial of Israel's right to exist.

"Today, over 120 countries are in Tehran, saluting a regime that not only denies the Holocaust but pledges to annihilate the Jewish state, brutalises its own people, colludes in the murder of thousands of innocent Syrians and leads millions in chanting 'Death to America, death to Israel'," he said.

"So many in the international community appear to have learned nothing. I think this is a disgrace and a stain on humanity," Netanyahu said in a statement.

Iran is to use any currency in its oil transactions as the country wants to move away from receiving payments in dollars and euros, Iranian vice president says.

"We are free to choose any currency to sell our crude oil and this issue depends on Iran's interests," Mohammad Reza Rahimi said during a ceremony releasing a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Mehr news agency reported.

"The important issue is to exclude euros and dollars,” he added.

House OK's possible Israeli raid on Iran

Our top Military brass are against this promotion with good cause, but the "House of Reps" wants to shit stir anyway. The Senate just had a hell of a time getting funding for the extra troops in Afghanistan, where in the hell does the "House" think that it's going to scrape up any more to fund another war front?

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light a possible Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.

Resolution 1553 provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress backs Israel's use of 'all means necessary' against Iran, "including the use of military force," BBC Persian reported.

The introduction of the measure coincides with a pattern of renewed calls for military strikes that have escalated since President Obama signed Congressional Iran sanctions into law.

top US military leaders have warned of the many dangers of military strikes against Iran.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has argued "Another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need. In fact, I believe it would be disastrous on a number of levels."

Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has expressed his own serious reservations about an attack on Iran.

War game shows how attacking Iran could backfire

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/02/2...k=omni_popular



Here's a war game involving Iran, Israel and the U.S. that shows how unintended consequences can spin out of control:

With diplomacy failing and precious intelligence just received about two new secret Iranian nuclear facilities, Israel launches a pre-emptive strike against Tehran's nuclear complex. The strike is successful, wiping out six of Iran's key sites and setting back its suspected quest for a bomb by years.

But what happens next isn't pretty.

Report: US weapon test aimed at Iran caused Haiti quake

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=116834§ionid=351020104

They don't care what they do or who it affects.

An unconfirmed report by the Russian Northern Fleets says the Haiti earthquake was caused by a flawed US Navy 'earthquake weapons' test before the weapons could be utilized against Iran.

United States Navy test of one of its 'earthquake weapons' which was to be used against Iran, went 'horribly wrong' and caused the catastrophic quake in the Caribbean, the website of Venezuela's ViVe TV recently reported, citing the Russian report.

After the report was released, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez also made a similar claim, saying that a US drill, carried out in preparation for a deliberate attempt to cause an earthquake in Iran, had led to the deadly incident in Haiti, claiming more than 110,000 lives.


In 1997, US Secretary of Defense William Cohen also expressed concern about activities that "can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."

The US government, however, has chosen to stick to its position that HAARP is merely a program aimed at analyzing the Earth's ionosphere for the purpose of developing communications and surveillance technology.

Pentagon, Eyeing Iran, Wants to Rush 30,000-Pound Bomb Program

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=aMiQmByND.2A


The U.S. Defense Department wants to accelerate by three years the deployment of a 30,000-pound bunker-buster bomb, a request that reflects growing unease over nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea.

Comptroller Robert Hale, in a formal request to the four congressional defense committees earlier this month, asked permission to shift about $68 million in the Pentagon’s budget to this program to ensure the first four bombs could be mounted on stealthy B-2 bombers by July 2010.

Hale, in his July 8 request, said there was “an urgent operational need for the capability to strike hard and deeply buried targets in high-threat environments,” and top commanders of U.S. forces in Asia and the Middle East “recently identified the need to expedite” the bomb program.

The bomb would be the U.S. military’s largest and six times bigger than the 5,000-pound bunker buster that the Air Force now uses to attack deeply buried nuclear, biological or chemical sites.

Accelerating the program “is intended to, at the very least, give the president the option of conducting a strike to knock out
