Unexpectedly - hopes and dreams are dashed!

As one of our liberal commentators liked to say. Put away all sharp objects before you read this!

From CNN

"New York (CNN Business)The economygrew at a much better than expected rate in the first quarter, the Commerce Department reported Friday, accelerating out of a slow start to the year.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that gross domestic product grew at a rate of 3.2%, substantially above the projected 2.1%, buoyed by strong state and local government spending, consumer spending, and business investment."

What's funny is that I saw the 2.1% number earlier as well.

Now they say that there were projecting 2.5% (which means that they may not be totally honest with how far off they were projecting this).

Unexpectedly, of course.

Trump keeps getting things done.

What have the democrats done except claiming the southern border is a manufactured crisis, organically fertilizing San Francisco and falsely accusing the president of colluding with Russia?

I guess you could also say advancing anti-Semitism, AOC and fighting cow farts.

Without a compliant MSM they would be dead.

C.H. Truth said...

Again Denny it depends on the source...

Some had 2018 at 2.9% and some had it at 3.1%

Either way, the argument from Obama and his economists was that any consistent growth at 3% was no longer viable seems painfully incorrect at this point. Obama suggested that Trump would need a "magic wand" to get us back to 3%.

Perhaps Trump found that wand that Harry Potter broke in two and threw into the river. What do you think?

I think we've found Roger a new girlfriend.

Protester glues her breasts to ground outside Goldman Sachs

A woman has glued her breasts to the road outside the Goldman Sachs offices today as activists ramp up disruption on the final day of protests.

The eco-protester was spotted by passengers on a bus lying face down with her top up to her neck.

Several police officers surrounded the woman and put up screens to stop the public watching her one-woman protest.

It was quite possibly the most spectacular stunt yet as climate change activists targeted London’s financial districts to highlight what they call the business world’s ‘role in our collective suicide’.

that's right alky.

who needs rising GDP growth, plummeting unemployment, record low minority unemployment, rising wages and general overall prosperity, when the promise of socialism and free shit for as far as the eye can see lurks just beyond the next election?

carter's malaise and 0linsky's new normal obviously holds the most appeal.

at least for wards of the state like you that is.

How bad has Trump derangement syndrome gotten in Washington? Consider this: On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was set to receive the 2019 Foley American Hostage Freedom Award, in recognition of the Trump administration’s work in releasing Americans held hostage abroad. The award is named for James W. Foley, the American journalist who was kidnapped and beheaded by the Islamic State. But at the last minute, the award was mysteriously rescinded and Pompeo disinvited from the gala that he had agreed to attend.

[...]

That’s more captives freed in two years than President Barack Obama got released in eight. And as Pompeo noted, “This work has been accomplished without the concessions that only encourage more hostage taking by kidnappers and terrorists.” Trump freed our hostages without setting Taliban leaders loose from Guantanamo Bay, or sending wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies to Iran on an unmarked cargo plane — which only creates incentives for criminal regimes to seize Americans.

So why was this well-deserved award rescinded? As Pompeo explained in a gracious letter to Diane Foley, mother of James Foley, “I understand that the Foundation decided to rescind the Freedom Award and my invitation … due to pressure from its media partners and your fear, stated in your recent letter, that some guests at the dinner would not show my office proper respect if I attended.” The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reported, “Knowledgeable sources said the group’s 'media partners’ promised to boycott the event if Pompeo got the award."

How pathetic is that? I understand that there are people who deeply dislike Trump. But give credit where credit is due. The president and his administration have made freeing Americans held abroad a top priority, even appointing a “special presidential envoy for hostage affairs” whose sole focus is the liberation of American captives. And they have had unprecedented success in getting them released.
