President Grump wasn't responsible for the US stock market's rise but he sure is responsible for its decline right now. I've seen this or similar comments posted in a lot of places lately!

Come on, you are a smart guy. Why didn’t you short the market!

You know fear and greed is all that drives Wall Street (Casino). There are so many things at work to pop the bubble. Interest rates should be raised, hopefully back to normal 6%-7% mortgages. Its penalized babyboomers who saved $$.

Since 2008 and the QE, Zero percent interest crap, fueling stock repurchases and ridiculous corp debt for M/A’s. Irrational behavior of savers moving from no interest CD’s to stocks drove it up and many stocks to P/E’s which some are at obscene levels. Prices should correct, and fall in line with traditional valuations. Housing market again is hyper inflated, houses in some really undesirable states are at $250k now. Consumer debt I believe is at an all time high.

I have questions... why is that guy eating lunch?

Wasn't Mattis kicked out by Obama sometime back.... without the Liberal Media going apesh*t over it?

Why yes, yes he was.

President Barack Obama fired General James Mattis, the head of Central Command, without even calling the general to let him know he was being replaced.

I guess that Nike/Kap campaign didn't hurt them at all:

Nike crushes earnings expectations, helped by strong online sales, shares surge

Did you figure that out by yourself or did your listen to the actual earning report? Asking for a friend...

I would bet Nike probably had record sales, they sponsored and sold out on Kapernicks shoes to liberal kneelers.

No really, just laughing to my self you didn't know Nike's competitors beat estimates too. ( Without Kap )

Under Armour shares surge 23%.

They reported in Oct. Beat estimates without help from Kap. Maybe it was the good economy. That's what my friend tells me.

If you worked for someone, would you be OK with finding out your paycheck was going to be late and not even knowing when to expect it? I

If they had any integrity, they would quit. Oh... I forgot, they work for the government, subjugating the masses and feeding them daily doses of fear. Terrible that Trump should interfere with their good work. What a cretin!

A few years ago, he was "mad dog" Mattis to the left. Now he's a saint. Reminds me of Colin Powell being such a sweetheart to the left, who conveniently ignored he was key to whitewashing the Mai Lai massacre. There are few people with principles on the left, it's all about who they hate at the moment.

Politico:
"In fact, Mattis’ anti-Iran animus is so intense that it led President Barack Obama to replace him as Centcom commander. It was a move that roiled Mattis admirers, seeding claims that the president didn’t like “independent-minded generals who speak candidly to their civilian leaders.” But Mattis’ Iran antagonism also concerns many of the Pentagon’s most senior officers, who disagree with his assessment and openly worry whether his Iran views are based on a sober analysis or whether he’s simply reflecting a 30-plus-year-old hatred of the Islamic Republic that is unique to his service. It’s a situation that could lead to disagreement within the Pentagon over the next four years—but also, senior Pentagon officials fear, to war.

“It’s in his blood,” one senior Marine officer told me. “It’s almost like he wants to get even with them.”

This is what a real hero looks like.What real bravery looks like. Real heroes who speak the truth are not greeted with million dollar Nike contracts, widespread media praise, or hero worship. They are generally disdained, and often killed or imprisoned.

Transgender entertainers and pampered footballers are not being brave when they pander to whatever is popular at the moment.

Jim Acosta is not being brave, Julian Assange is. Frankly, I think there is something missing in Trump that he isn't quite aware of the danger he places himself in. Lucky for us. Unlucky for those who want to build an oppressive globalist state that favors the wealthy and crushes the middle class.

Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson
A 25-year-old Army warrant officer and helicopter pilot from Georgia, Thompson risked everything, including his life, to stop fellow soldiers from slaughtering Vietnamese civilians.

Thompson, flying over My Lai with his two-man crew in an observation helicopter, repeatedly landed to confront superior officers and other soldiers engaged in the massacre. He repeatedly reported it over the radio and again in person when he returned to base camp. What was supposed to be a several-day mission and could have resulted in thousands more deaths, was called off.

For years his heroic acts brought him disdain and hostility. It “broke Hugh’s heart,” his gunner, Lawrence Colburn recalled. But it didn’t break his will.

Over the course of two years of hearings on My Lai, Thompson told the truth “despite peer pressure, ostracism, threats of prosecution and a nationally televised congressional browbeating,” according to the Army’s chief prosecutor.

Thompson continued to fly observation missions in Vietnam, despite suspicions he’d been assigned missions purposely to get him killed. He was hit by enemy fire a total of eight times and in a final crash after his helicopter was brought down by enemy machine-gun fire, he broke his back.

In 1998, the Army did an about-face. Thompson and his crew were awarded the Soldier’s Medal in a ceremony near the Vietnam Memorial.
