Trump Running the Fed

Image
President Trump is now running Federal Reserve Policy.  Remember last Fall when Fed Chairman Powell made statements about raising interest rates?  He cited a growing economy as evidence it was time.  Powell even raise rates twice.  Doing so brought ire from Trump, whose public criticisms of Fed policy have been unprecedented. Trump's latest Fed Reproach So how has Powell adjusted to Trump’s reproaches?  Powell has folded the Fed tent. Recent Fed announcements indicate a future course closely aligned with Trump’s expressed desires, pledging soon to lower rates and even usher new rounds of “quantitative easing.”  QE, as it is known, is an act by the Federal Reserve Central Bank to release dollars into the economy, supposedly in exchange for valued assets.  Recall during Obama’s Presidency, the Fed bought up mega-amounts of worthless assets from Wall Street Banks, along with U.S. Treasury bonds, to the tune of almost $4 trillion.  Those dollars largely went into the American eco

Iran Tanker Attack, Seen This Before

In August 2017, I published two articles in which I placed the reader behind the scenes of President Obama’s so-called, “Iran nuclear deal.”  Although nuclear weapons are referred in that agreement, its real purpose, as it turns out, had little to do with nuclear weapons.  Like so many ventures our former President involved himself in, the nuclear deal was another scam on the American people.  Obama’s real purpose, among others, was legitimizing the release of dark money into dark areas of the world, an activity even President Reagan regrettably approved.  Remember “Iran-Contra?”  It all began in September 2013 when Iranian President Rouhani remitted a long overdue payment to the World Bank, passing an olive branch to the West.  Next, Rouhani called Obama indicating willingness to negotiate certain long-standing differences with America.  That afternoon, Obama held a press conference announcing he had spoken with Rouhani, the first talks between respective heads-of-state in over thir

Judging 7th District Candidates

In 2018, 7th District Representative Rob Woodall almost lost his seat to a socialist Democrat.  It was the most closely contested race in the country.  And now, after ten years in Congress, Woodall is stepping down, opening the seat.   Georgia's 7th District The 7th District consists of half of Forsyth County and most of Gwinnett.  In 2016, Hillary Clinton won Gwinnett.  Prior to that, Gwinnett turning blue was not foreseeable.  But increasing population density is the cradle of liberalism.  As counties surrounding a central city become more densely populated, they naturally take on the political attitudes of the city.  The tighter people pack together, the more rules they institute, the more individual rights they infringe, the more government control they crave, the more their politicians propose government solutions, and finally, the more they come to believe more government is the answer. The result is liberalism, which explains why practically every major city is liberal

Grateful for FISA Abuse

Since Donald Trump became President, I will be the first to admit that 7th and 9th District Representatives Rob Woodall and Doug Collins have righted their ships, both Forsyth County Congressmen without question earnestly supporting our President.  In this new Congress, Collins has become an instrumental Trump ally in the battle against the salacious, and now-proven false accusations against our President by leading congressional Democrats in D.C.  Woodall, who announced leaving next year, has ventured in front of the cameras, as he should, and become a forceful voice of reason among the insane workings of congressional Democrats in budgetary conferences and live interview settings.  Neither Woodall nor Collins supported Trump during the 2016 primary, and neither became vocally supportive of Trump during their 2018 campaigns, which almost caused Woodall to lose even before he was ready to go.  And so I hate at this point to retrace bygone matters and questionable decisions by our two C
