Baby steps, Blake... I think first, we need to acknowledge that these ARE, in fact, criminals. The American people need to grasp and understand that fact. If they don't...no jury will ever convict. Politically, a military court would be a nightmare. Much as I'd love to see them all in Gitmo working on their tans...it just isn't feasible. Double-tap suicides are the method of the left, not the GOP. "Hurry up and wait" sucks from the sidelines, but since the smartest guy in the room is leading the charge, and he's surrounded himself with some extremely smart people...they're working, and building a bulletproof case, before the full-on Normandy invasion. Pensions can be revoked. Hillary can be found. None of them are smart enough to vanish, nor to have a plan for this contingency, because frankly they're too arrogant, and this has gone on for SO long, they never suspected it could come to an end. They never suspected he'd win the election, either - remember? DECADES of corruption. ONE YEAR of Trump. I think progress is moving along at a pretty good clip! | ||

Sessions is a huge disappointment. If Sessions wasn't producing then Trump would have him replaced. There's no doubt about it. I'm still convinced that their little spat over the recusal was fabricated to give the media a particular perception of things. I'm more under the impression that Trump and Sessions are waiting for the precise time to play their full hand. That could still be several years away. Here's a bit of a look into what Sessions is up to currently: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/11/session s-announces-hezbollah-financing-narcoterror-team-a fter-bombshell-report.html I realize that Sessions isn't in this to make any friends among the general public but I wish he would lay off the whole weed thing. | ||

Imagine if the government was weaponized against a presidential candidate. Imagine if the government was weaponized against a president-elect. Tough odds, and yet here we are, a year into MAGA. THIS! 1000 times! Pensions can be revoked. Hillary can be found. None of them are smart enough to vanish, nor to have a plan for this contingency, because frankly they're too arrogant, and this has gone on for SO long, they never suspected it could come to an end. They never suspected he'd win the election, either - remember?

FB, but where are the grand juries and prosecutions of the criminals? I'm getting very impatient. I completely understand. But, one can only imagine what it takes to build a winnable case against these criminals, particularly when charges of conspiracy, sedition or treason may be involved. I, too, am impatient; I want to see justice. But I also recognize, to the best of my ability looking in from the outside, what President Trump is up against in bringing the criminals to justice, much/most of which is occurring beyond our field of vision. And I gain no small measure of confidence that justice will be served by recognizing and acknowledging President Trump's accomplishments that we CAN see from the outside. He will celebrate his one-year anniversary as president soon; savor what has been achieved in such a short amount of time, and have faith that justice comes. Patience and trust, amigo; President Trump has, so far, been a man of his word. | ||

Trump is not one to single thread a list. I'm sure there are MANY irons in the fire. I have no doubt that any legal case against Hillary, or BO is going to be very complex, with many layers of insulation from the crimes. Both originated in Chicago, where this sort of political corruption is mostly accepted. Both are also lawyers, who have made it a career to specialize in political corruption. No doubt it's going to take a lot of time to peel back the layers of the onion. I want to be optimistic that justice will, in the end, be served. Past history makes me skeptical though. Trump does have a way of making things happen though, so I do have hope. IMO, draining the swap was a major theme in his campaign. Showing that progress is being made on this promise would certainly go far to lock him in for my vote. Weaponizing the government against the people they represent CAN NOT simply be washed to the side. | ||

...but the bonuses are "just crumbs", according to Pelosi. What a piece of shit. Sorry if most normal Americans appreciate $1,000 or $2,000. We don't have private jets or security forces all to ourselves, you elitist bitch. Go lock yourself in your compound and shut your yap. | ||

The DOW just hit 25,000 a very short time ago. Today, with good reason, they are talking about it hitting 26,000. Incredible! | ||

I get very uneasy with rapid increases of markets. There is usually a collapse. | ||

There will be a correction, I'm sure. But again, and I've said it here before - this is the first time I ever recall corporate America giving BACK to not only employees (by way of $1000 - $2000 bonuses), but now to CUSTOMERS by way of lowering electrical rates!! Typically corrections come once people at large realize that speculation has artificially driven pricing for a particular commodity, too high. I don't know that we'll see that here...these jumps in the market are for an ENTIRELY different reason. This isn't the "housing boom" or anything like that; this isn't people playing with commodities to make themselves rich. As I said before, this is a real "team" moment - the American Team is back, and determined to win. For everybody. This may turn into a gen-yoo-wine boom era. | ||

I'm certainly not going to make a claim that a correction in the market isn't going to happen. I'm not at all convinced that it's going to be a bubble burst event though. This is a broad spectrum of growth, across the entire economy. It looks nothing like the run up under Clinton, that Greenspan described as "irrational exuberance". That run up was pretty much all technology stocks, and they were claiming a new paradigm where a company didn't need profits to deserve high stock prices. Much of that was pure insanity. They were discussing it on FBN this AM. The feeling was that it's certainly a time for cautious investing. The DOW hitting 26,000 was a given. Hitting 27,000 was a target where they agreed there would be resistance, and a likely correction. The reality is that even if it took a 20% dump at 26,000, it's still up since the election. A far cry from what was predicted by the Trump detractors. Short of North Korea nuking LA or San Fransisco, I really doubt we will see that kind of pull back. There is a real and solid foundation for the growth that is going on. Sure some of it is based on speculation into the future. That's what goes on in investing. The reality is that recovery was beginning at the end of the Bush administration. Doing nothing, should have brought a booming economy. The fact is, BO's policies smothered the coals of industry. Trump, as a businessman, understands this. He has provided oxygen and fuel for those hot coals. The fire is burning brightly. It's the velocity of money. Even if/when we see a correction in the near future, it's unlikely to be a plateau, or a new direction for the market. The fundamentals for growth are in place. Would I suggest taking the life savings of cash and dropping it into the market right now? Probably not. Personally, I'm glad to be close to fully invested right now though. Invest monthly into a 401K? ABSOLUTELY! And I am. Start pulling money out of the market? Not to sit on cash. Maybe to by a boat, but that's another story... | ||
