Police are supposed to detain motorists suspected of a crime. If there was a bank hold up and the motorist had a bag of money in the back seat, then that motorist should be detained. The problem is that Ryan doesn't want illegal aliens detained ...

Trump was wrong to pardon controversial sheriff, Ryan says

Reduce corp tax rate to 15%, keep individual tax rate at 40%, eliminate the death tax, allow one time repatriation, and eliminate all but three deductions. No deduction for state and local taxes? Ugh!

Gary Cohn lays out what Trump wants on tax reform

Obama's shutdown was for maximum pain. For example, Obama shut down national parks even though they are self sustaining with fees. I wonder what a Republican shutdown would look like.

Wall Street falls as Trump threatens government shutdown

Well, that's the Netherlands heard from. So Cliffedwards, what's the Swiss POV.

Reports on Fifth District Manufacturing Activity in August Remained Little Changed from July

Apparently the idiotic clash over statues didn't have a lasting effect.

Mild improvement in risk appetite as traders begin to look to Jackson Hole

Not that the myopic business leadership was going to have anything useful to contribute anyway in how to handle a 300 billion dollar per month behemoth but to leave the record that their only input was tantrums and hissy fits, well... that's ...

China's attack dog is getting stronger. 15000 NK artillery are still pointed at Seoul. Longer range NK missiles are being developed. More NK nukes are being assembled. Global media is relentlessly pounding on Trump. The US is losing ground. Times, ...

The Fed Balance Sheet History axis should read trillions not millions. I don't know why mistakes like that bug me. But they do. I tweeted Christopher Condon, maybe he'll change it.

Fed Minutes May Show Battle Lines Hardening Over Soft Inflation

Twice Americans interfered with German plans to take over Europe. Mistake? Could be. Some of the most despicable and poisonous voices I've EVER heard come from liberated Europeans posting here. I have yet to hear: because of the 15000 NK artillery ...

Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely....

That's up to you to decide. We've made a lot of mistakes. The Chinese might run things a whole lot better than we (Americans) have. Or they might be a whole lot worse. They do seem to keep their citizens in the dark about a lot of things. That's not ...

I don't know if it is true that there are 60 miniaturized nukes in NK. But I wonder if the average British citizen is contemplating the security of their trade routes when that number increases to 600? 6000? NK is the attack dog of China. It is ...

To clarify again US MSM is saying the positions advanced after "locked and loaded". The response from NK wasn't missiles near Guam. They said they would ATTACK Guam. BTW there is nothing about this in NK press at all. All they know is that Kim ...

Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely....

USA MSM is saying the response from NK to "locked and loaded" was that NK stated they will attack Guam. Please advise if other sources say differently. With all due respect to the China discussion, a statement of intent to attack US territories is a ...

Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely....

No, Cliff isn't an American and doesn't understand our law. The US War Powers Act gives POTUS unlimited powers in dealing with a nuclear threat. President Trump has FULL authority in emergency nuclear situations to use any and all military assets he ...

How the markets could react to a North Korea Strike

The S&P 500 is down $5 for the week, nearly 2%, reducing the S&P 500 market cap by $462 billion dollars. Kim Jong-un just made a lot of very wealthy people angry. And Cliff, your analysis is faulty. Any missile launched from North Korea now in ANY ...
