White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pointed to hypocrisy in the Democratic Party’s concern over alleged sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, in a Tuesday morning interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

For those who follow major financial markets closely, the warning signs of the next major US financial market Tsunami are gaining more frequency daily. Some weeks ago attention was on so-called Emerging Markets, especially Turkey, Argentina, Indonesia, India or Mexico. What is rarely mentioned in the mainstream media is the relation of those events to the deliberate withdrawal of dollars from the global financial system by the “creator” of dollars, the US Federal Reserve. Now that process threatens to detonate a dramatic fall in not only US stocks but also in high-risk junk bonds, in US real estate debt, auto debt, credit card debt. The Trump hopes for continued economic success into the 2020 elections or even into the November mid-term elections may be smashed by the will of the Fed.

Military and economic tensions are increasing due to the ramped up warlike stance of the US establishment. The impossibility of halting the shifting world order in favour of prolonging the unipolar moment has left the US deep state reaching for any available weapon at hand, taking no heed of the dangers and consequences of such a reckless foreign policy.
With the province of Idlib ever closer to being liberated from terrorists by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the tensions between the US and Syria (and Syria’s allies) are rising. Every significant military campaign by the SAA seems to be accompanied by the usual alarms and false reports emanating from the Western media and governments warning of an imminent (staged) use of chemical weapons by the SAA. Tensions are rising as several American voices, including that of the President, have expressed the desire to strike Syria over any alleged use of chemical weapons, without even waiting for any independent verification. Threats by the US, the UK and France to bomb Russian troops in Syria are voiced everyday on Western media. The insanity is reaching disturbing levels.

There has long been controversy surrounding the potential benefits or hazards of fasting.
On one hand, supporters of fasting point to the many benefits that they claim fasting provides. This includes promoting weight loss, normalizing insulin sensitivity, lowering triglyceride levels in the body and slowing the signs of aging. There are a number of different ‘fasting plans’ ranging from intermittent fasting lasting, on average, 14 to 18 hours to longer-term plans abstaining from solid foods for 2 to 3 days. Each is said to carry their own benefits and challenges, offering options for everyone.

The New York Times reports Walmart’s Veggie-Tracking B.L.T.: Blockchain Lettuce Technology.
When dozens of people across the country got sick from eating contaminated romaine lettuce this spring, Walmart did what many grocers would do: It cleared every shred off its shelves, just to be safe.

The Deep State is just getting deeper, yet like an onion, the layers are slowing peeling away to expose the core. Members of Congress filed impeachment motions against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and now many are calling Trump to fire him after reports surfaced that he discussed invoking the 25th Amendment and suggested wearing a wire during encounters with the president. That is a direct violation of National Security. Rosenstein, who oversees the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, has become the target of House Republicans who filed articles of impeachment against him in July. It is becoming painfully obvious that Mueller’s entire investigation under Rosenstein is corrupt and has been intended to overthrow an elected president.

From its beginnings, the socialist/communist left pretended to represent the working class, employing slogans like “workers of the world unite.” Of course, it was all a lie. Karl Marx never in his life worked at a blue collar job, and his collaborator, Friedrich Engels, was a rich kid with inherited wealth. Major Wall Street banks financed the Bolsheviks in Russia, who railed against Wall Street.
Almost all the Demoncrap politicians in the US are multi-millionaires, who advocate the redistribution of everyone else’s income…just not their own. Rank and file leftist UIs (useful idiots) in the US and elsewhere tend to be from upper or upper middle class families, or from multi-generational welfare “families.” Few have working class backgrounds. In recent years the left has been coming out of the closet, dropping most of their worker rhetoric and, more and more, revealing their true nature as fascists with a divide and conquer agenda.

The EU has announced it will create a special payment channel to circumvent US economic sanctions and facilitate trade with Iran.
Last month, German foreign minister Heiko Maas called for the creation of a new payments system independent of the United States. The announcement Monday sets that plan in motion.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini made the announcement after a meeting with foreign ministers from Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran. She said the new payment channel would allow companies to preserve oil and other business deals with Iran.

The national news media went wild on Monday morning, reporting that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was on his way to the White House to meet with Chief of Staff John Kelly to either resign or be fired. The drama unfolded over a New York Times story leaked late Friday afternoon which had Rosenstein, the man in charge of the illicit Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation against Trump, arguing that the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove Trump from office and offering to wear a wire to gather dirt on the President. The meetings in which this occurred shortly after the May, 2017 firing of FBI Director James Comey by the President. While it is a very short distance from the Justice Department on Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, media reports about Rosenstein being on his way to a dramatic confrontation lasted for some hours.

On Monday night Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his wife were chased from a DC restaurant by far-left protesters who declared that he is a “fascist” for his support of Brett Kavanaugh.
The unhinged leftists were chanting “we believe survivors” while they screamed at the senator during dinner with his wife at Fiola.
The protesters were blocking his wife from exiting, prompting Cruz to ask the mob to allow his wife to leave.
