President Trump on Tuesday threatened to cut off aid to Honduras if its government does not stop a migrant "caravan" from heading north toward the U.S. border.
"The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!" the president tweeted.
The president was responding to reports that a group of 1,600 or more Hondurans hoping to reach the U.S. crossed the border into Guatemala on Monday. Members of the caravan have said they are fleeing poverty and violence in their home country in search of a better life.
The U.S. gave $175 million in aid to Honduras in fiscal 2017, according to the United States Agency for International Development."
btw, i can see why the alky was singing the praises of heitkamp the other day. man, did she screw the pooch. a bunch of those women she doxxed are lawyering up.
what an asshole. hopefully those women completely ruin her.
Total dairy Canada bought from US 600 million....who gives a fuck other than biased assholes like rat hole who think it is important...shit...that is the total cost of 5 f-22's.....a nothing burger!!!
AP: Are you prepared for what will happen to your presidency if the Democrats do take back the House?
Trump: Sure.
AP: How will you handle investigations, impeachment prospects?
Trump: I think I’ll handle it very well. I’m handling already. We have a witch hunt now going on, and I handle it very well, and there was no collusion. Everyone knows it. It’s . . . People laugh. People are laughing at the concept of it.
AP: What if they go after your tax returns? Is that something that would . ..
Trump: They have to do whatever they do, and I’ll do whatever I do. But I’ve had the most successful two years. I would say, without question, first two years of office, I’ve had the most successful two years in the history of this country as a president. And we’re not even close, actually, if you think about it. It’s not until Jan. 20 so we’re not even really close to two years. And, would get me the list? Would you get me the list, please?

Two years from now, we will be in the middle of a recession and inflation on the terms of the Bush Great Recession and because of the massive deficits we won't have the economic recovery tool of increasing government spending on infrastructure and energy efficiency that would create hundreds of thousands jobs per month. Instead we will see a total reversal of the economic recovery initiated by President Obama.
AP: In your interview with ’60 Minutes’ over the weekend, you were asked about climate change, and you said you believe it, but that also, it could go back. And one of the things . . . (crosstalk)
Trump: I said the worst hurricane was 50 years ago, far worse than what this one was. Then, in 1890, they had one that was even worse. This was No. 3 or 4 or 5. We had worse hurricanes in 1890, we had worse, a worse hurricane 50 years ago. We’ve gone through a period, actually, fairly recently, where we have very few. I live in Florida to a large extent and spend a lot of time in Florida, and we had a period of time where we went years without having any major problem. And then you have a problem and it goes in cycles, and I want absolutely crystal clear water and I want the cleanest air on the planet and our air now is cleaner than it’s ever been. Very important to me. But what I’m not willing to do is sacrifice the economic well-being of our country for something that nobody really knows. And you have scientists on both sides of the issue. And I agree the climate changes, but it goes back and forth, back and forth. So we’ll see.
I mean, you know, I am a person that believes very, very strongly in the environment. I am truly an environmentalist. I know some people might not think of me as that, but I’m an environmentalist. Everything I want and everything I have is clean. Clean is very important — water, air. But I also want jobs for our country. And if we would have, as an example, entered certain agreements with other countries, I actually think that we’re doing it so they could have an economic advantage. Because we would have had a tremendous — we would have been at a tremendous economic disadvantage if we entered into certain agreements.
we won't have the economic recovery tool of increasing government spending on infrastructure and energy efficiency
you mean like solyndra?
or all those "shovel ready jobs" that even 0linsky laughed and joked about never materializing?
a dollar laundered through the federal government always results in pennies coming out the other end of the scheme, alky.
always.
after eight long miserable years of keynesian economics and the failure of a "planned economy," let's leave the people to decide how to spend what they earn.
there's a reason why the richest zip codes in the country are the ones that surround DC alky, and it's not a good reason. in fact, it's the very worst of all possible reasons.

The deficit soared to $776 BILLION after the tax cuts.
The increase in domestic spending to lower the unemployment rates will not be available without an inflation rate that will reach to rates higher than the rate under President Carter.
Or those trump tax cuts which are driving the deficit to new highs and mitch is blaming on D's and entitlements....Talk about assholes, rat hole....LOLOLOL Idiot

it's the discretionary spending, genius.
it's always the spending.
and $776B in deficits compared to $10 TRILLION in new debt is pennies on the dollar. 0linsky blew through $10 TRILLION, and we have absolutely fucking nothing to show for it other than gifts to unions like the UAW parasites..

You folks say that I am delusional. The President has said that he's a scientist and an economist. He went bankrupt six times.
"In terms of the average pace of GDP growth, this is the slowest expansion on record," says Lakshman Achuthan, co-founder of the Economic Cycle Research Institute.
The U.S. economy has only grown 2% a year since it bottomed out in June 2009. That's far below the typical growth in rosy times of over 4% a year that the U.S. has experienced since World War II. It's even below the rather sluggish rebound during President George W. Bush's tenure of 2.7%.
actually, 2% is generous. skeets only averaged 1.7% over those eight looooong, painful, stagnant, oppressive years. it was the first time since carter that the term "malaise" was tossed around with frequency.
by every objective measure the 0linsky recovery sucked ass. but alcoholics are delusional by nature (e. g. pink elephants), it's easy to see why the alky would claim it to be better than it ever was.
General Motors Cruises on Crossover Sales While Waiting for New Pickups GM's second-quarter sales appear to have set up another good operating profit. John Rosevear (TMFMarlowe) Jul 4, 2018 at 3:04PM General Motors (NYSE:GM) said that its U.S. sales rose 4.6% in the second quarter on strong sales of its trucks and its all-new lineup of crossover SUVs.
GM no longer reports its U.S. sales results on a monthly basis. But Automotive News estimates that GM's U.S. sales rose 5.7% in June, outpacing the overall U.S. market's 5.2% gain.
Year to date, GM's U.S. sales are up 4.2%.

How General Motors fared against rivals in June Here's how the estimated June sales results for GM compare with the figures reported by its five largest-selling rivals in the U.S. market.
Automaker June 2018 U.S. Sales Change vs. June 2017 General Motors 256,976 5.7% Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) 230,635 1.2% Toyota 209,602 3.6% Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU) 202,264 8% Honda 146,563 4.8% Nissan 145,096 1.2% DATA SOURCES: THE AUTOMAKERS, AUTOMOTIVE NEWS. FIGURES FOR GENERAL MOTORS ARE AUTOMOTIVE NEWS ESTIMATES, AS GM NO LONGER REPORTS ITS U.S. SALES ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
GM's overall average transaction price (ATP) was about $35,500 in the quarter, up roughly $300 from the year-ago period. That ATP gain was helped by GM's newest crossovers, the big Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Both are all-new models that began arriving at dealers last fall, and both are selling well. Second-quarter sales of the Traverse and Enclave rose 30% and 25.4%, respectively, versus sales of their predecessors a year ago. The new Traverse is selling at much better prices than its predecessor. GM said that its ATP was up almost $7,000 in the first half of the year, versus the year-ago period.
Sales of GM's crossovers as a group rose 5.8% from a year ago. GM's big pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, will be replaced by all-new versions for 2019. But sales of both remained strong in the second quarter, with the Silverado and Sierra up 15.7% and 20.4%, respectively, from a year ago. GM's full-size pickup sales didn't quite outpace arch-rival Ford's in the second quarter, but they left FCA's Ram in the dust. GM sold 214,935 Silverados and Sierras in the quarter, versus 236,947 Ford F-Series and 129,575 Rams. Cadillac sales rose 3%, and that wasn't just SUVs. Sales of the big XTS sedan, a popular "black car" fleet option that was overhauled for 2018, rose 36% in the second quarter. The well-regarded midsize CTS sedan gained 2.6% from a year ago. GM's big truck-based SUVs are nearing the ends of their model lives, but sales of these highly profitable vehicles are still strong. Sales of the group rose 22% in the second quarter. Of note: Sales of the upscale GMC Yukon were up 17.5% year-over-year.
so alky... what will happen to sales when the gubmint bribes to buy these rolling fireboxes goes away? hmmm?
heh.
it is interesting that the only way the government can actually stimulate the economy is to bribe us with our own money. take those bribes away, especially for the rich like the loss of their SALT deductions in places like NY and NJ, and listen to them squeal.
keynes is dead, alky. and so are his economic philosophies.

Leftist luminaries, who weren't able to stop the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, suggested in the aftermath that Americans should consider reforming the Senate. Reminded that expanding the Senate would require a Constitutional Amendment, they've now, apparently, resorted to "reforming" the other half of the bicameral legislature, the House of Representatives.
NBC News reports that some Democratic activists are suggesting that to even out the "balance of power," the size of the House should grow as much as double its current size.
"Expanding the House of Representatives would be a vast improvement over the status quo — with the potential to impact all branches of government," activist Steve Vladick opines for NBC's "Think" platform.
"[C]hanging the size of the House of Representatives — from its current total of 435 seats to 650 seats, or one for every 500,000 constituents — would make that body far more reflective of the country at large; would dramatically affect presidential elections; and, perhaps alone among all of these proposed reforms, would most be in keeping with the wishes of the Constitution’s drafters," he continues.
Vladick argues that "changing the size of the House of Representatives would make that body far more reflective of the country at large" by narrowing the size of Congressional districts and limiting district size based on population. In most cases, that would involve halving districts.
But it's not clear how having more districts with fewer people makes the House more representative, since House members are duly elected and, in most cases, making the districts smaller wouldn't improve a member's ability to lunch with every last one of his or her constituents.
What it does do, however, is help the Democrats remain in control of one house of Congress at all times by giving larger cities and their immediate metropolitan areas (where there are bigger populations in smaller areas) more seats. Unless large cities with high populations switch to the GOP in the near future, Democrats would hold the clear majority in the House ad infinitum.
So really, the House would become "more reflective" of ... Democratic strongholds.
Tricky, tricky.
Unfortunately for Democrats, none of these proposals — expanding the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, or doubling the size of the House — are likely headed for approval.

General Motors Cruises on Crossover Sales While Waiting for New Pickups
GM's second-quarter sales appear to have set up another good operating profit.
John Rosevear (TMFMarlowe) Jul 4, 2018 at 3:04PM
General Motors (NYSE:GM) said that its U.S. sales rose 4.6% in the second quarter on strong sales of its trucks and its all-new lineup of crossover SUVs.
GM no longer reports its U.S. sales results on a monthly basis. But Automotive News estimates that GM's U.S. sales rose 5.7% in June, outpacing the overall U.S. market's 5.2% gain.
Year to date, GM's U.S. sales are up 4.2%.

How General Motors fared against rivals in June
Here's how the estimated June sales results for GM compare with the figures reported by its five largest-selling rivals in the U.S. market.

GM's overall average transaction price (ATP) was about $35,500 in the quarter, up roughly $300 from the year-ago period.

Second-quarter sales of the Traverse and Enclave rose 30% and 25.4%, respectively, versus sales of their predecessors a year ago.

GM's full-size pickup sales didn't quite outpace arch-rival Ford's in the second quarter, but they left FCA's Ram in the dust. GM sold 214,935 Silverados and Sierras in the quarter, versus 236,947 Ford F-Series and 129,575 Rams.
Cadillac sales rose 3%, and that wasn't just SUVs. Sales of the big XTS sedan, a popular "black car" fleet option that was overhauled for 2018, rose 36% in the second quarter. The well-regarded midsize CTS sedan gained 2.6% from a year ago.

ROFLMFAO !!!
You folks say that I am delusional.
and this blog's archives prove that in spades. your incoherent rambling rants when you got the new liver to replace the one you pickled are some of my personal faves.
My pretty much generic crossover Equinox LTZ V6 has been totally reliable for three years. I have a killer sound system and Wifi. And satellite Sirius XM. The 301 hp 3.6 liter V6 is very quick.
When all else fails, change the system.
Leftist luminaries, who weren't able to stop the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, suggested in the aftermath that Americans should consider reforming the Senate. Reminded that expanding the Senate would require a Constitutional Amendment, they've now, apparently, resorted to "reforming" the other half of the bicameral legislature, the House of Representatives.
NBC News reports that some Democratic activists are suggesting that to even out the "balance of power," the size of the House should grow as much as double its current size.
"Expanding the House of Representatives would be a vast improvement over the status quo — with the potential to impact all branches of government," activist Steve Vladick opines for NBC's "Think" platform.
"[C]hanging the size of the House of Representatives — from its current total of 435 seats to 650 seats, or one for every 500,000 constituents — would make that body far more reflective of the country at large; would dramatically affect presidential elections; and, perhaps alone among all of these proposed reforms, would most be in keeping with the wishes of the Constitution’s drafters," he continues.
Vladick argues that "changing the size of the House of Representatives would make that body far more reflective of the country at large" by narrowing the size of Congressional districts and limiting district size based on population. In most cases, that would involve halving districts.
But it's not clear how having more districts with fewer people makes the House more representative, since House members are duly elected and, in most cases, making the districts smaller wouldn't improve a member's ability to lunch with every last one of his or her constituents.
What it does do, however, is help the Democrats remain in control of one house of Congress at all times by giving larger cities and their immediate metropolitan areas (where there are bigger populations in smaller areas) more seats. Unless large cities with high populations switch to the GOP in the near future, Democrats would hold the clear majority in the House ad infinitum.
So really, the House would become "more reflective" of ... Democratic strongholds.
Tricky, tricky.
Unfortunately for Democrats, none of these proposals — expanding the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, or doubling the size of the House — are likely headed for approval.

The Chevrolet Volt was not successful. Crossovers have limited success. The Toyota crossover has been very successful at least in this terrible California where we will have a temperature of about 85°.

Two years ago this week, the FBI obtained a FISA order to spy on Carter Page based on opp research from Fusion GPS.
This week, Page filed a defamation lawsuit and Simpson is pleading the Fifth before Congress.

Another beautiful day in America
Things are looking better every day
MAGA
The real Donald Trump is ranting moron
“Trump could be the most honest president in modern history. When you look at the real barometer of presidential truthfulness, which is promise keeping, he is probably the most honest president in American history. He’s done exactly what he said he would do.” Marc Thiessen, WPost
"Dairy farms in Trump country won back a multimillion-dollar trade niche with Canada under a revised agreement with the United States’ northern neighbor.
Wisconsin and upstate New York will be able to resume exporting milk products used mostly in cheese and yogurt production under terms of the revised trade agreement announced Monday.
"

uh huh. let's see how even less successful it is when the $7500.00 bribe expires.
solyndra wasn't successful either. when the juice from uncle sugar ran out it was tits up in a big-ass hurry.
i guess all this begs the questions -
why do you fear the natural machinations of the free market, alky? why do you find economic freedom and liberty for the average american so repulsive?
you may wish to be a ward of the state. shit, in your dilapidated condition you practically are. the rest of us wish to be left to our own devices enjoying the fruits of our own labor.
solyndra wasn't successful either.
And neither is the trump tax cuts unless you consider trillion dollar deficits success which you seem to believe, jag off...
Who was the jag off yesterday gloating about the DOW going up??? Wonder if the same idiot wants to mention what today's market is doing..????? I doubt it since he doesn't know the difference between average and median!!!

Incoherent saucemeisters
by every objective measure the 0linsky recovery sucked ass. but alcoholics are delusional by nature (e. g. pink elephants), it's easy to see why the alky would claim it to be better than it ever was.
what will happen to sales when the gubmint bribes to buy these rolling fireboxes goes away? hmmm?
heh.
it is interesting that the only way the government can actually stimulate the economy is to bribe us with our own money. take those bribes away, especially for the rich like the loss of their SALT deductions in places like NY and NJ, and listen to them squeal.
keynes is dead, alky. and so are his economic philosophies.

US Mines saw further growth.
Alky-fatty, so wrong so often.
"In September, manufacturing rose 0.2%, for the fourth straight monthly gain. Mining rose 0.5% in September as the sector, which includes oil drilling, stayed strong. Utility output was flat as warm weather held down home heating use. Auto production was up 1.7% in September".
Home owners saving money with Gorebal Warming.
Fatty + Alky = Fatky
No mention of the Saudi fiasco.
Too disturbing.
