Loading ...sessions should retire? maybe, maybe not. if he has been just sitting there, doing nothing, yes, he should retire.
if, on the other hand, he has been just sitting there LOOKING LIKE he’s doing nothing, but setting up an ambush, giving the nogoodniks enough rope to hang themselves (and each other), then maybe not.
which is it? we’ll find out bye and bye.
never count your money while you’re sittin’ at the table – time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

Good article. We are dealing with some deranged and evil people though and need a stronger corruption opposition party form the repubs.
Little by little they’re being exposed and coming from the left.
What’s kind of funny now is the left not only has to deal with more than half the fed up country wanting to drain the swamp but they have to worry about the left themselves.
They have conned the left so long with their socialist platform and special interest pc for votes that they now have to worry about being replaced by these same people. It’s pretty bad when they get replaced by a waitress slash bartender who thinks having two jobs is lowering unemployment numbers over one of their partners in crime. I knew this time would come but didn’t know if I would live to see it. Next will come the disaster it brings them and this time might not be able to lie their way out of it but they’ll try.
Cruising’ to Cheyenne Frontier Days. Please stay OFF the tracks to take your ‘selfies’ !

Wow! Wow! Great stuff! I long suspected there was deep intrigue going on. Trump usually appears brilliant “after the fact” of something going down. But seems clumsy and inept at times that are not in line with his usual character. Now it all starts to make sense. We can only hope…
Not with much help by most of the status quo Republicans. Nunes should become speaker of the house. Sessions should retire.
The central banks’ “slippery slope” has led us to an ominous place. “Strongmen” now believe it’s within their domain to dictate the markets, interest rates and currency levels. All the while, it’s regressed into an unprecedented global Bubble replete with a Global Financial Arms Race. Markets trade as if they fully expect all governments to absolutely, at all cost, safeguard their respective financial wealth (i.e. Bubbles). Remember “the West will never allow a Russian collapse”? And “Washington will never allow a housing bust”? Global policymakers will never allow another major crisis. Well, let’s see how this game of chicken between President Trump and President/General Secretary Xi plays out.
July 18 – Wall Street Journal (Nick Timiraos): “The Trump administration expects annual budget deficits to rise nearly $100 billion more than previously forecast in each of the next three years, pushing the federal deficit above $1 trillion starting next year. The revisions… reflect the cost of federal spending increases agreed to earlier this year and higher interest payments. The budget proposal released in February showed annual deficits totaling $7.1 trillion over 10 years. The latest revisions increase these cumulative deficits by $926 billion, to $8 trillion.”
Can hardly believe our good fortune that all of this is happening at last. What a time to be alive, no?
That’s a likely “Yes.” 🙂
“maybe there will be an outbreak of sanity…”
Are you out of your mind? 🙂
with Rates and PM’s under the cosh once more, while the SM goes bonkers up…but that is of course just normal….Italian rates are riseing fast…10 yrs are up 3.16 % and the Bund spread it out 4.34 %, while 2 yr money is up 13.8% and the spread to German is up 8 %….not that a collapse of the Euro/ECB will harm the Fangs etc….
Like Trump said. The other countries have been using us like a piggy bank. The USA has gone thru a long decline of living standards (for buying imports) after 1975.
Most Americans have been “taught” to be a good little global citizens and love imports of illegal immigrants and “refugee” cars and TVs and shoes and socks from around the world. They didn’t fool me. I won’t even get in the passenger side of an imported car.
I can’t stand the sight of them. They all look like appliances. And they all have that unique weird sound.
Suggesting the entire financial system and currency values are unstable and an accident waiting to happen.
AngloGold says there’s no escaping demise of South African gold
(Bloomberg) — South Africa’s gold industry, once the world’s largest, faces an inevitable decline, according to the chairman of the country’s biggest producer of the metal by market value.
Output will continue to shrink as miners chase ever-deeper ore bodies while struggling to keep costs down, said AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Chairman Sipho Pityana. That means the Johannesburg-based company has decisions to make about its future in the country.
Gold Street Is Where South Africa’s Mining History Goes to Die
“Gold is a sunset industry,” Pityana said in an interview last week in Bloomberg’s Johannesburg office. “It doesn’t matter what you do, it doesn’t matter how you do it, you are not going to be able to change that.”
South Africa’s gold mines are the world’s deepest and among the most labor intensive. The country’s gold production dropped 16 percent in May from a year earlier, falling for an eighth straight month, as aging infrastructure, depleted reserves and accidents raise costs and curb output.

A lady was trying to get her picture as it passed by on Saturday night and she bought the farm. I heard she’s young and it was a dumb smartphone video taping accident Whoops. I can hear the Train’s whistle at my house and it’s quite impressive.
Chaos After Turkey Unexpectedly Keeps Rates Unchanged, Lira Implodes
FX traders were stunned – and TRY longs painfully crushed and stopped out – after the Turkish central bank unexpectedly kept the one-week repo rate unchanged at 17.75% (the overnight lending and borrowing rates were also left unchanged at 19.25% and 16.25% respectively), slamming consensus expectations of a 100bps increase which was already priced in.
I guess you just gotta hope for the best. Maybe there’ll be an outbreak of sanity … it’s possible!
Next PM ????
I would like Jacob Rees Mogg…but that will only happen if the tories find some brains, as of now they are on a path to ruination and we might just get the commie Corbyn.
It’s turning into a mess.
UN already planned to immigrate multi millions of immigrants years ago.

Woopie got played because she and others on the left are predictable. Woopie thought she could play Pirro but it backfired.
Pirro is promoting her book and after Woopie attack it boosted the sales. Heard it was number one.
The View means only their view like most left distorted view but when they have someone on that brings them back to reality then she has a meltdown. Woopie will talk over yell over but Piero will fire back. Whoopie got played but I enjoyed it backfiring on them. Pirro knew what they were like stepping into a snake pit. Don’t cobras spit.
I don’t think they have America in mind anyways.
UP 844 leads an empty train to Denver to pick up
passengers for the Cheyenne ‘Frontier Days’. This will
be the only excursion outing for #844 this year. The UP
steam shop is busy restoring a “Big Boy” steamer
for a planned 2019 debut…. the largest steam engine
ever built.

Thanks for that! I just knew Judge Pirro would have the last say on her show. Whoopi doesn’t realize that she just became the poster child for ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.
It really is sad to see formerly rational people launch into apoplexy over anything ‘Trump’. Pirro is right… they are attacking the foundations of America.
I can’t wait to see what happens when middle america puts Trump back in office for a second term…. assuming he survives the deep state until then.
