1…………> “Fake News” Media vs. Main Street USA

By Steve Cortes
RealClearPolitics
August 22, 2018

The treatment of recent news reveals an essential chasm in 2018 America: the concerns of Mainstream Media vs. those of Main Street USA.

“[H]ardworking Americans throughout flyover country live and know a very different reality of an optimistic, growing, and resurgent America under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.”

Far from New York newsrooms and the Georgetown salons of Washington lobbyists, Americans grasp the reality of a stronger and more prosperous country. For example, CNBC reports that total American home equity just hit an all-time high of $5.8 trillion of aggregate net value. The average homeowner with a mortgage saw accessible investment grow $14,700 over the last year and now has $113,900 available to draw upon.

But, the even better news lies in the details. Unlike the 2007-era housing price boom, consumers are managing their debt prudently today, and middle-class families do not feel pressed to use homes as ATMs to pay bills. For example, despite the significant appreciation in home equity, only 1.17 percent of available capital was tapped in the first quarter of 2018, the lowest amount in four years.

This housing optimism reflects the strong underlying growth of the Trump Boom, which registered 4.1 percent GDP growth for the second quarter, with the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s live statistical model now forecasting a 4.3 percent rate for quarter three. Within that overall heady expansion, small business, in particular, is thriving amid reduced federal tax and regulatory burdens.

The big story out that the FBI ignored tens of thousands of Crooked Hillary Emails, many of which are BAD. Also gave false election info. I feel sure that we will soon be getting to the bottom of all of this corruption. At some point, I may have to get involved!

3…………> “Sessions Got To Go”: Sen.Graham

 

Is a respected Senate leader Lindsay Graham giving us a hint that the days of our infamous AG Jeff Sessions are numbered? Is he about to get fired by President Trump right after the election? Will Mr.Trump’s supporters dance in the streets to celebrate the tossing out of a reputed “Deep State” operative?

Don’t bet against it.

Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched.

Michaels Cohen’s attorney clarified the record, saying his client does not know if President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting (out of which came nothing!). The answer is that I did NOT know about the meeting. Just another phony story by the Fake News Media!

The active volcano on the Italian island of Sicily came alive overnight, spraying columns of ash and lava as high as 150 meters into the sky. But authorities haven’t ordered any nearby villages to evacuate.

Several months after its last eruption, Mount Etna in eastern Sicily has started spewing chunks of fiery lava from its crater.
Photographs of the spectacle on Saturday showed streams of red magma spilling down the volcano’s slopes and plumes of ash extending skywards.

1…………> The Scent Of Eros & Aphrodite: Greece
 

For the first time, an ancient scent takes its place among the treasure of antiquities next to sculptures of Eros and Aphrodite at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, after chemists used oil formulas referenced in the works of Dioskourides and Theophrastos and later studies focusing on the ancient technique of aromatic oil production.

 

“We started the infusion of the wild olive oil, we mixed it with nutsedges. Then we flavored the formed oil with rose petals and colorized it with the root of alkanna,” Korres explained.

 

According to Korres, the final scent is absolutely original, and it takes one back to something primitive and fresh which is the rose, with two more scents, are being unveiled and take their place in the museum in the coming months, the coriander, and the sage.

 Cuerpo de Ingeniros del Ejército realiza trabajos de remoción de ceniza volcánica en el Aeropuerto Internacional “La Aurora”.#365DíasAlServicioDeMiPatria

Seven people have been killed and nearly 300 injured after Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted, officials say.

The volcano, about 40km (25 miles) south-west of the capital Guatemala City, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky.

Flows of lava have reportedly struck at least one village, causing deaths and injuries.

People have been evacuated from several areas and the capital’s La Aurora airport has closed.

President Jimmy Morales said a national emergency response was under way.

The head of the National Disaster Prevention Authority Sergio Cabañas told a local radio station that a river of lava had changed course towards a small town.

“People have been injured, burned and killed. Evacuations and searches are underway,” he said, quoted by Reuters.

A total of about a million people have been affected by the eruption, the Guatemalan government says.

Officials have advised citizens to wear masks due to falling ash, which has been raining down in four of Guatemala’s administrative regions.

4…………> Money Laundering: “Down Under”
CBA Newsroom

✔@CBAnewsroom

 

 CBA CEO, Matt Comyn on AUSTRAC settlement: “Our agreement today is a clear acknowledgment of our failures and is an important step towards moving the bank forward. On behalf of Commonwealth Bank, I apologize to the community for letting them down.”

4:28 PM – Jun 3, 2018

The settlement of $530 million dollars came after court-ordered mediation between the country’s biggest bank and the country’s financial intelligence agency, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), for “serious and systemic non-compliance” with anti-money laundering and terror financing rules following Deutche Bank and a long list of US and EU banks that have used the very loose Central Banks monetary policy to procure tens of thousands of suspicious transactions and failed to adequately report them to authorities, allowing criminals and terror financiers to launder millions of dollars through CBA accounts.

1…………..> “Soft Drug Dealers”: Shut Down

 

The Drug Enforcement Administration today announced the issuance of an Immediate Suspension Order served on Morris & Dickson Company, a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor, located in Shreveport, Louisiana, after an  investigation alleged that this distribution center failed to properly identify large suspicious orders for controlled substances sold to independent pharmacies with a questionable need for the drugs, primarily on purchases of Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.


A further review revealed that in some cases, pharmacies were allowed to purchase as much as six times the quantity of narcotics the pharmacy would normally order. In spite of regulations which require distributors to identify such orders, DEA alleges that Morris & Dickson Company failed to identify these large suspicious orders resulting in millions of dosage units of Oxycodone and Hydrocodone being distributed in violation of the law.

“Opioid distributors have a legal obligation not to facilitate the illicit diversion of drugs,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “That obligation has never been more important than it is right now as we face the deadliest drug crisis in American history. According to the allegations, many large suspicious orders for opioids were made, filled, and unreported by Morris and Dickson. We can only imagine how many pills were diverted, abused, and how many addictions began as a result. Today’s suspension will help us achieve the President’s goals of reducing opioid prescriptions in the United States and stopping the spread of addiction. I want to thank the DEA for their vigilance, for all of their hard work. The Justice Department will continue to use suspensions, deregistrations, and every other tool we have to stop the drug epidemic.”

2…………> Watch Out, Assad: Israel Warning

In the boiling war of words and deeds against Syria, Israel’s Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz warned that Mr. Assad may find himself in Israel’s sights.

“If Assad allows Iran to turn Syria into a military vanguard against us, to attack us from Syrian territory, he should know that would be the end of him, the end of his regime,” Mr. Steinitz told the Ynet news site.

Asked if that meant Israel might assassinate Mr. Assad, Mr. Steinitz said: “His blood would be forfeit.”

Israel could respond to any Iranian attack on it from Syria by toppling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government, a hint that Mr. Assad himself may be targeted for assassination.
