MARGARET BRENNAN: You surprised Washington with announcing your retirement -- that you're not going to run for Congress. Why did you decide to leave?
REP. GOWDY: You know, I'm just-- I-- I enjoy the justice system more. I enjoy being fair. I enjoy the pursuit of fairness as a virtue and I'm just more comfortable in that system. My wife hates it when I say this, but I-- I was a pretty good prosecutor, I think. But I've been a pretty lousy politician. So I've done it for seven years. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to do it, but it's time for me to -- whatever time I've got left -- I want to spend it in the justice system because that's where my heart is, and that's where my interests--
MARGARET BRENNAN: Why do you say you are a lousy politician?
REP. GOWDY: I just-- I-- I see multiple sides of a single issue. And the fact that someone disagrees with me, does not make me challenge their love of the country. It doesn't make me believe that they're corrupt. I've got a lot of friends on the other side of the aisle. We disagree on this issue, but-- but I don't question their love for the country and I don't-- I-- I just-- I don't think the end justifies the means. I think the manner in which we get places matters, and in politics too often winning is the only thing that matters. And look, every hero I have has lost. Every one of them. So losing is not the worst thing in the world. Not knowing what you believe and not caring enough about it to fight for it? That's the worst thing in the world.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you think you've served justice in your time in Congress?
REP. GOWDY: Not like I did in my previous job. I tried. It's about winning in politics, and that is not what-- the courtroom-- there's a reason we throw out search warrants even though we find the murder weapon. There's a reason we throw out confessions even though we think the person did it. The process matters. The end does not justify the means. And in politics, it's just about winning. And-- and I-- I can't-- I don't want to live like that.
I think it's a very honest statement, and says a lot about 2018 politics. I generally believe that most politicians at least start out good, honest, and wanting to make a difference and make our country better. But, for whatever reasons, it seems like the process, the partisanship, and the "winning" end up taking over people.
The sad part about it is that the people driven by the wrong reason generally are the ones that flourish, while those there for the right reasons (who really are there to make a difference) get pushed aside, or even pushed out.

We indeed do need more people in government like Trey Gowdy because people like him refuse to let themselves be led by partisanship into witchhunts against the FBI nor do they allow partisanship to cause them to label as a witchhunt a legitimate investigation of a President and his campaign staff.

Like most candidates running for Congress, Arthur Jones has a campaign website.
It outlines the Republican candidate’s educational background, stance on issues and how to donate to his campaign to represent Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District.
It also lays out Jones’s unapologetically racist and anti-Semitic views.
In a section called “Holocaust?” Jones describes the atrocities as a “racket” and “the biggest, blackest, lie in history.” Under another tab titled “Flags of Conflict,” he lists the Confederate flag first and describes it as “a symbol of White pride and White resistance” and “the flag of a White counter revolution.”
And in his most recent blog post — dated Aug. 24 — Jones rails against “Radical Leftists” and blames them for starting racial violence that had roiled Charlottesville about two weeks earlier. Heather Heyer, 32, a protester at a white supremacist rally, died after a driver rammed a car into a crowd of demonstrators. A self-professed neo-Nazi has been charged with first-degree murder in the incident. Jones painted the death as an accident.
Despite his views, Jones is all but certain to become the GOP nominee in one of Illinois’s most prominent congressional districts — one that includes parts of Chicago and several suburbs to the west and southwest. Jones is running unopposed in the Republican primary; the deadline for candidates to file was in early December.
I want California to do all they want to become the largest magnet they can become. Just wish Jerry Brown would stop begging President Trump for Billion in addition US tax Dollars to cover for his mismanagement.

LOS ANGELES—California Gov. Jerry Brown appears poised to exit office next year with a top political priority in hand: free from the massive budget deficits that had weighed on his predecessors.
Buoyed by tax increases passed under his administration and a strong economy, Mr. Brown said Wednesday that the state is projecting a $6.1 billion surplus for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The governor proposed socking most of the money away in a rainy-day fund whose creation he pushed for in 2014. Nearly 70% of the state’s projected revenue of about $135 billion next fiscal year is derived from personal income taxes, according to the
The state’s fiscal health is especially crucial as it faces myriad challenges: record natural disasters, housing shortages and changes to federal tax regulation—all while it ramps up opposition to the Trump administration on several major policy fronts.

jBoycott the Republican Party
Jonathan Rauch and Benjamin Wittes:
“We have both spent our professional careers strenuously AVOIDING PARTISANSHIP in our writing and thinking. We have both done work that is, in different ways, ideologically eclectic, and that has—over a long period of time—cast us as not merely nonpartisans but ANTIpartisans.
"Temperamentally, we agree with the late Christopher Hitchens:
Partisanship makes you stupid.
We are the kind of voters who political scientists say barely exist—true independents who scour candidates’ records in order to base our votes on individual merit, not party brand.”
“This, then, is the article we thought we would NEVER write: a frank statement that a certain form of partisanship is now a moral NECESSITY. The Republican Party, as an institution, has become A DANGER TO THE RULER OF LAW and the INTEGRITY of our democracy. The problem is not just Donald Trump; it’s the larger political apparatus that made a conscious decision to enable him. In a two-party system, nonpartisanship works only if both parties are consistent DEMOCRATIC actors. If one of them is NOT predictably so, the space for nonpartisans EVAPORATES.”
“We’re thus driven to believe that the best hope of defending the country from Trump’s Republican enablers, and of saving the Republican Party from itself, is to do as Toren Beasley did: vote mindlessly and mechanically AGAINST Republicans at every opportunity, until the party either RIGHTS ITSELF or IMPLODES (very preferably the former).”

It’s Trump’s party now; or, perhaps more to the point, it’s Trumpism’s party, because a portion of the base seems eager to out-Trump Trump. In last year’s special election to fill a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, Republican primary voters defied the president himself by nominating a candidate who was openly contemptuous of the rule of law—and many stuck with him when he was credibly alleged to have been a child molester. After initially balking, the Republican Party threw its institutional support behind him too. In Virginia, pressure from the base drove a previously sensible Republican gubernatorial candidate into the fever swamps. Faced with the choice between soul-killing accommodation and futile resistance, many Republican politicians who renounce Trumpism are fleeing the party or exiting politics altogether. Of those who remain, many are fighting for their political lives against a nihilistic insurgency.
So we arrive at a syllogism:
(1) The GOP has become the party of Trumpism.
(2) Trumpism is a threat to democratic values and the rule of law.
(3) The Republican Party is a threat to democratic values and the rule of law.
If the syllogism holds, then the most-important tasks in U.S. politics right now are to CHANGE the Republicans’ TRAJECTORY and to DEPRIVE them of power in the meantime. In our two-party system, the surest way to accomplish these things is to SUPPORT THE OTHER PARTY, in every race FROM PRESIDENT TO DOGCATCHER. The goal is to make the Republican Party ANSWERABLE at every level, exacting a political price so STINGING as to force the party back into the democratic fold.

Nunes Backs Up Trump: Dems Have Given ‘Almost 100 Leaks’ To Media On Russia Probe
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes believes Democratic members on the committee have leaked over 100 stories to the media regarding the ongoing probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
“We know that there has been almost 100 leaks that we believe have come from the Democrats in the House Intelligence Committee,” the chairman declared. “As of right now, remember a year ago, they were claiming that they had more than circumstantial evidence of collusion, of trump colluding with Russians but they keep coming up with goose eggs. They have nothing.”
Nunes’ charge came just hours after President Donald Trump lambasted the Democratic ranking member on the committee, Adam Schiff, for allegedly leaking stories

Dossier author Steele wrote another anti-Trump memo; was fed info by Clinton-connected contact, Obama State Department
A newly released document from the Senate Judiciary Committee says Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier, wrote an additional memo on the subject of Donald Trump and Russia that was not among those published by BuzzFeed in January 2017.
The newly released document is an unclassified and heavily redacted version of the criminal referral targeting Steele filed on Jan. 4 by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. It appears to confirm some level of coordination between the extended Clinton circle and the Obama administration in the effort to seek damaging information about then-candidate Trump.
According to the referral, Steele wrote the additional memo based on anti-Trump information that originated with a foreign source. In a convoluted scheme outlined in the referral, the foreign source gave the information to an unnamed associate of Hillary and Bill Clinton, who then gave the information to an unnamed official in the Obama State Department, who then gave the information to Steele. Steele wrote a report based on the information, but the redacted version of the referral does not say what Steele did with the report after that.
Published accounts in the Guardian and the Washington Post have indicated that Clinton associate Cody Shearer was in contact with Steele about anti-Trump research, and Obama State Department official Jonathan Winer was a connection between Steele and the State Department during the 2016 campaign.
When Grassley and Graham filed the referral with the Justice Department on Jan. 4, the document was classified (although the two senators released an unclassified cover letter announcing the referral). What followed was a month of haggling with the Justice Department over what material in the referral could be made public. The result is the version of the referral released this morning. It has whole paragraphs and keywords blacked out, making it hard to discern its full meaning.
For example, a press release accompanying the referral said the referral "contains verbatim quotes from the [Carter Page surveillance] application that are not included in the [House Intelligence Committee] memo. Specifically, the referral quotes the application's descriptions of Steele's statements to the FBI about his contacts with the media." Lest anyone get too excited, the press release went on to say that the quotes "remain redacted" in the version of the referral released Monday.
Also redacted is information related to the key allegation of the Grassley-Graham referral: that Steele was untruthful with the FBI and Justice Department over the issue of his many contacts with the press. If Steele was acting as a trusted source for the FBI on the highly confidential Trump-Russia investigation, it would have been improper for him to share his information with the press at the same time.
Some of the redacted passages also relate to the question of statements about Steele's press contacts that the FBI made to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in applying for the Page surveillance warrant that was the subject of the House Intelligence Committee memo released Friday.
It's a lot to digest. But further details will have to wait until the rest of the referral is declassified. Senate sources say they hope that will be soon.
if you were invested in the market you would know this" RRB
Alky is so stupid.
Even this Supreme Court won't allow Republicans to do what they tried to do in PA, as you can clearly see HERE:
Supreme Court Won’t Block Pennsylvania Order
“The Supreme Court denied a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to delay redrawing congressional lines, meaning the 2018 elections in the state probably will be held in districts far more favorable to Democrats,” the Washington Post reports.
Senators: ‘Substantial Evidence’ That British Spy Misled FBI About Dossier
Two Republican senators claim to have “substantial evidence” suggesting that former British spy Christopher Steele misled the FBI about “a key aspect” of the infamous dossier.
The senators — Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham — also provided new details about a previously undisclosed memo that Steele wrote based on information provided by a Hillary Clinton associate.
“It is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded Mr. Steele’s work, but that these Clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility,” Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote Monday.
The details are in a heavily redacted memo that Grassley and Graham released on Monday. The two Republicans sent the document to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last month along with a letter referring Steele for criminal investigation. (RELATED: Christopher Steele Has Been Referred To The FBI For Criminal Investigation)
The FBI reviewed the referral for classified information and approved the release of the document in heavily redacted form.
It has two bombshell revelations.

GOP Sees Reasons for Optimism in 2018 Midterms
GOP lawmakers, here for their annual party retreat, point to improving poll numbers for their tax cuts and the decreasing Democratic advantage in the generic congressional ballot as signs that a tidal wave for the opposition party may not be forming. Republicans’ midterm plan is relatively straightforward: aggressively sell the individual benefits of their tax law and the broader strong economy, and scapegoat and attack Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
“The conventional wisdom said, in 2016, that Hillary Clinton was going to be elected president of the United States of America, right?” Vice President Mike Pence said in his address to lawmakers here Wednesday evening. “I mean, the truth of the matter is, we made history in 2016, and we're going to make history again in 2018 when we re-elect Republican majorities in the House and Senate.”
Alky why are you a mud puddle of a sub-human?
Republican electoral prospects brighten
Before I left for a week in the beautiful Dominican Republic, I had the sense that GOP prospects for this year’s elections were on the upswing. I return to find there’s no doubt about it.
In December, the Democrats held a 15 point lead in a Monmouth poll that asked the “generic” question of whether respondents are more likely to vote for a Democratic or Republican candidate in their own district. That’s the stuff of a wave election, maybe even a tidal wave.
But the latest Monmouth generic poll finds that Democrats have only a 2 point lead. Given current districting, that’s the stuff of the GOP retaining control of the House, perhaps fairly comfortably. ( Other surveys taken in about the same time period put the Dems advantage at 5-6 points).
Not surprisingly, Monmouth’s latest polling also shows a big jump in President Trump’s popularity. His approval rating has improved by 10 points in one month.
It’s not difficult to explain why Trump and his party fare so much better in recent polling. It’s the economy and especially the tax cut.
According to The Hill, a poll by Reuters/Ipsos poll shows voters think Republicans have a better plan for jobs and employment than Democrats. The margin was 37.6 percent to 27.8 percent.
From the excellent Powerline Blog where I could cut-n-paste from many times a day including our host...
GOP Sees Reasons for Optimism in 2018 Midterms

Nunes memo exposes abuse of power
The Nunes FISA memo gives insight into a systematic abuse of power that started at the highest levels of the Obama administration. The memo does not endanger national security but rather exposes a national security threat, since the only proven Russian collusion that resulted in government action is that among the named FBI officials, the Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS and Russian intelligence.
The argument that the memo exposes classified information is specious, since nothing in the memo is classified. No sources and methods are exposed that are not already publicly known. And all these types of arguments distract from the central point of the abuse of power. This is hardly the only recent misuse of the FISA process.
The memo has troubling implications for special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry. We now see that a network of conspirators abused government power seeking to undermine the electoral process and, failing that, to sabotage a president in a process that is still ongoing. The Mueller probe to the extent it was based on such an effort is fruit of the poison tree and should be suspended immediately.

Dow plunges 1,175 -- worst point decline in history
By Matt Egan February 5, 2018: 4:12 PM ET
It was the scariest day on Wall Street in years.
Stocks went into free fall on Monday, and the Dow plunged almost 1,600 points -- easily the biggest point decline in history during a trading day.
Buyers charged back in and limited the damage, but at the closing bell the Dow was still down 1,175 points, by far its worst closing point decline on record.
The drop amounted to 4.6% -- nowhere close to the destruction on Black Monday in 1987 or the financial crisis of 2008. But for investors lulled to sleep by the steady upward climb since Election Day, it was alarming.
The White House said through a spokesman that "markets do fluctuate in the short term," but it stressed that the fundamentals of the economy are strong.
The trouble in the market began early last week, when investors focused on a number of lingering concerns.
If the economy gets much stronger, it could touch off inflation, which has been mysteriously missing for the nine years of the post-crisis recovery. That could force the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates faster than planned.
"People are dealing with the shock of seeing real inflation for the first time in a while," said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.

Let Trump be Trump
He is also an opinion writer for the Washington Times.
Some claim that the Trump transition is dragging its feet. Politico stated that “Trump was caught flat-footed by winning,” offering as evidence that “his transition team has been slow to engage with the outgoing administration.” But Trump is sprinting down the track compared with Ronald Reagan’s laid-back transition. The Gipper’s first move was to take a short vacation on his ranch in California, where transition head Ed Meese said the president-elect “hasn’t even looked at a list” of prospective appointees. Donald Trump met with President Obama a mere two days after the election, while Reagan and President Carter waited until Nov. 20 to sit down together at the White House. A week after that, Reagan had still not reached out to his prospective Cabinet officials. Asked by a reporter outside a barbershop in Beverly Hills whether he had called any potential nominees, the Gipper simply said, “Nope.”
Maybe Trump’s unprecedented rise to the presidency has trained reporters to expect more from him than they did from his predecessors. But they are a little too demanding under the circumstances. People in a hurry to declare Trump’s presidency failed should at least have the courtesy to first let it begin. They should let Trump be Trump and see what happens. It will take more than a week for America to make the transition to being great again.

democrats need to feed the narrative that we need them and we need government to care and provide for us. that's why the alky is cheering the dow correction. he's basically 0linsky's "julia" with a walker, an addiction and a 2nd hand liver.
It will take more than a week for America to make the transition to being great again.

If the memo is such a nothingburger, why did they try so hard to prevent its release?
Hmmmm.....
The Dow plummeted as President Donald Trump was speaking to workers at the Sheffer Corporation in Cincinnati, touting the recently-passed tax overhaul law.
"America is once again open for business," Trump said in his speech.

provide a fuller picture, intelligence committee Democrats insist, House Republicans must vote on Monday to release a classified 11-page rebuttal they wrote to the GOP memo.
While Republicans say their memo, orchestrated by Nunes and released with President Donald Trump’s backing, demonstrates anti-Trump bias at the FBI and Justice Department that calls into question the entire Russia investigation, Democrats say Republicans committed the very sin of omitting crucial facts that they accuse the FBI of.
If the House votes to release the Democratic memo, Trump will have five days to review it and either support its release — as he did the Republican memo — or object.
White House spokesman Raj Shah told reporters on Monday that the administration would go through the same process it used to decide whether to release the memo authored by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. But he declined to say where the president was leaning and White House officials said they could not predict Trump's ultimate decision.
"If that memo is voted out and it comes to the White House we will consider it on the same terms we considered the Nunes memo — which is to allow for a legal review, national security review led by the White House Counsel’s Office, and then within five days the president will make a decision about declassifying it," Shah said.
The debate revolves around an October 2016 FBI application to a federal judge for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Page. That FISA application — and whether the FBI was fully transparent with a federal court that approved it in October 2016 — is at the heart of mounting allegations by President Donald Trump and allies in Congress that the FBI abused its spying authority during the 2016 campaign.
But Friday’s memo also acknowledged that the Page warrant came only months after the FBI had already opened an investigation into Russian influence over the Trump campaign because of information it had received about another Trump foreign policy adviser, George Papadapoulos, whom The New York Times has reported learned in early 2016 that the Russians had stolen Clinton campaign emails.
Story Continued Below
Lol, fucking mooch.
The memo released Friday by the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee excoriated FBI leaders for what it described as a crucial omission in that application: The fact that the dossier, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele — was financed by the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
“Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele's efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior and FBI officials,” the memo alleged.
But in an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Nunes was asked about reports over the weekend that the FBI application did refer to a political entity connected to the dossier. It is unclear precisely what language the application might have used.
Nunes conceded that a "footnote" to that effect was included in the application, while faulting the bureau for failing to provide more specifics.
"A footnote saying something may be political is a far cry from letting the American people know that the Democrats and the Hillary campaign paid for dirt that the FBI then used to get a warrant on an American citizen to spy on another campaign," Nunes said on "Fox & Friends."
There's no evidence that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign itself. Rather, the warrant for Page was issued in October 2016, a month after he left the campaign — and after Trump campaign officials denied he played a central role. But the surveillance of Page was part of an FBI counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump associates coordinated with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
Page is a key figure in the dossier, which makes the unsubstantiated allegation that he held a secret meeting with a top Russian oil executive and a close Putin ally to discuss helping to lift U.S. sanctions against Russia in return for a financial windfall. Page had also been investigated by the FBI in 2013, after he was the target of a recruitment effort by Russian spies in New York City. And the former investment banker and energy consultant also made a summer 2016 trip to Moscow where, after shifting explanations, he now admits he met with Kremlin officials. (Page says the meetings were brief and denies any wrongdoing.)
The intelligence committee's memo, which Trump declassified Friday, casts Steele’s dossier as a key component of the Page FISA warrant. But the memo doesn't clarify what other evidence might have been used to persuade a court to grant its application, which was renewed several times, including once by Trump's own Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Story Continued Below
"Adequate" lol@HB
Yeah, now there is a lesson ya want to pass down to your kids.
The memo notes that the government must provide "information potentially favorable to the target of a [surveillance] application," but charges that FBI agents "withheld" their knowledge that Steele’s work had Democratic funding, and that Steele had openly expressed dislike for Trump.
Nunes' comments follow a similar acknowledgment on Sunday by Gowdy, who also said the footnote revealed a possible political bias behind the dossier but called it convoluted.
"I read the footnote. I know exactly what the footnote says," Gowdy said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "It took longer to explain it the way they did, than if they just come right out and said, 'Hillary Clinton for America and DNC paid for it.' But they didn't do that."
Administration officials and outside advisers said Trump was committed to releasing the Republican memo sight unseen, convinced that it would reinforce his long-standing belief that officials in his own government had sought to undercut his presidency. He has expressed no such determination to allow the Democratic memo to see the light of day.
Trump may have provided a window into his thinking when he unleashed a Twitter attack on the committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), Monday morning. If Trump opposes the Democratic memo's release, the committee may then refer it to the full House of Representatives for a vote to overrule him.
Among Schiff's complaints about the GOP memo: he says the application to spy on Page only included snippets of the controversial dossier -- and that those aspects may have been "subject to corroboration" by the FBI.
Though the president has unilateral authority to declassify intelligence, Shah said he White House would consider releasing he underlying surveillance application on Page if the committee votes to approve it.
Nunes, meanwhile, has also signaled that he’s not finished digging into what he described as Democratic abuses.
Story Continued Below
“I think the American people are just beginning to learn the truth about the Hilary campaign and the Democratic Party and their involvement in how they corrupted our institutions,” he said on Fox.
Nunes signaled that his next focus is on the State Department. Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also indicated Monday he’s probing whether Clinton allies at the State Department helped inform Steele’s research.

House Intelligence Votes to Release Rebuttal Memo
“The House Intelligence Committee voted to make public a classified Democratic memorandum rebutting Republican claims that the F.B.I. and the Justice Department had abused their powers to wiretap a former Trump campaign official, setting up a possible clash with President Trump,” the New York Times reports.
“The vote gives Mr. Trump five days to review the Democratic memo and determine whether he will try to block its release. A decision to stop it could lead to an ugly standoff between the president, his top law enforcement and intelligence advisers and Democrats on Capitol Hill.”

"You get the idea; this stuff was constant during Obama’s tenure, not even counting the Obama Administration’s recurring drumbeat about how high taxes are synonymous with “economic patriotism,” or the many times Republicans in Congress were referred to as “hostage” takers, or the various “treason” charges brought against Trump during the 2016 campaign before he was in office. Donald Trump didn’t invent this stuff, or really even innovate all that much, and unlike Trump, Democrats didn’t spend eight years saying it with a wink and a laugh."

What Roger ought to clutch his perls for is those SOTU visuals of Democrats sitting on their hands at the mentions of black unemployment, honoring victims of MS-13 violence, a man's courageous escape from the hell that is North Korea.
They are going to be in every GOP ad from now into the midterm.
After describing Republicans as “going totally crazy wild” over his State of the Union address, Trump expressed his displeasure with the response across the aisle. According to the president, Democratic lawmakers were “like death” and “un-American,” when he discussed “really positive news.” But Trump didn’t stop there. Noting that some had likened the Democrats’ reaction to treason, Trump went all in on the premise: “Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much,” he said.

Trump’s Stock Market Miscalculation
“President Trump is learning a basic and painful lesson of Wall Street: Stocks also go down,” Politico reports.
“A global market sell-off accelerated Monday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging nearly 1,600 points at one point in roller-coaster afternoon trading. After a volatile session, the Dow ended down 1,175 points, or 4.6%, at 24,346. It was the largest ever single-day point drop for the Dow and it rattled both Wall Street and Washington, abruptly ending a remarkable period of placid markets where it often seemed the only direction was up.”
Financial Times: “A rout swept through European and Asian stock markets in the wake of the biggest sell-off on Wall Street in six years as a sudden burst of turmoil shattered the long period of calm.”

Most Presidents have sense enough not to listen to their advisors and not comment very much on the stock market, knowing it can go up or down.

Trump Adviser Says You Don’t Need a Flu Shot
Gloria Copeland, a controversial minister on President Trump’s evangelical advisory board, said flu shots aren’t necessary when you have Jesus, the HuffPost reports.
Said Copeland: “Inoculate yourself with the word of God.”
She said the faithful who don’t have the flu can ward off the infection by repeatedly saying, “I’ll never have the flu. I’ll never have the flu.”
