1…………> Trump’s Economy: Booming

 

1600 daily The White House • August 3, 2018,

 

Unemployment dips to 3.9% as the American economy is continuing its longest monthly streak of positive job growth in history, with 3.9 million jobs added since President Donald J. Trump was elected. Today marks just the eighth time since 1970 that unemployment has fallen below 4%—with three of those occasions occurring in 2018. This success is good news for everyone, but it’s crucial for communities that have struggled historically: The unemployment rate for Hispanics has reached another all-time low, and unemployment for individuals with less than a high school diploma fell to its lowest mark since the series began in 1992. Just as important: Jobs are paying better. Significant wage gains had been a missing piece of the economic “recovery” since the Great Recession, CNBC reports, but that reality is changing under President Trump. “Compensation for workers rose to a nearly 10-year high in the second quarter,” Jeff Cox writes.

2…………> On Road To Communism: Pelosi, Schumer & Co

 

1600 daily

The White House • August 2, 2018, On the ICE,

Democrats abandon the mainstream Despite public opposition, numerous Democrats continue to call for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished. It’s a belief that falls squarely outside the American mainstream: According to a recent POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, only 25 % of voters support getting rid of ICE. A majority of Americans know we must keep ICE, and for a good reason: Eliminating this crucial piece of our national security force would grind immigration enforcement to a halt, with devastating consequences for public safety. Abolishing ICE would mean destroying the agency responsible for removing drug dealers, gang members, and other criminals who exploit America’s border to take advantage of our communities. The numbers don’t lie. Criminals arrested by ICE during the 2017 fiscal year were responsible for:

• More than 76,000 dangerous drug offences;

• More than 48,000 assault offences;

• More than 11,000 weapon offences;

• More than 5,000 sexual assault offences;

• More than 2,000 kidnapping offences; 

• More than 1,800 homicide offences.

Our immigration law enforcement officers work in dangerous conditions to protect our communities. We must stand with them. Recently, 167 Democrats in the House of Representatives refused to vote for a resolution to support these border officials. “To the courageous public servants at the ICE, men, and women, we want you to know that the American people are with you and my administration has your back 100%,” President Trump said in his most recent weekly address.

 

 

3…………> Out Of Obama Care: Trump’s Care

 

1600 daily The White House • August 1, 2018

The Day Ahead :

President Donald J. Trump will meet with pastors from America’s inner cities at the White House. • Vice President Mike Pence is in Hawaii, where he will participate in the Honorable Carry Ceremony for the remains of American service members who fell in the Korean War. Watch live at 7:15 p.m. ET. Shut out by Obamacare; millions will get relief Obamacare has failed to provide affordable, flexible healthcare options for millions of Americans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 28 million Americans are without insurance coverage today. Americans are increasingly being priced out of Affordable Care Act plans. From 2013 to 2017, insurance premiums more than doubled, shutting out tons of middle-class Americans who don’t get subsidies. In many communities, options are nonexistent. More than 52% of U.S. counties have just one ACA insurer, forcing residents to choose between pricey insurance or nothing at all. Today, President Trump and his Administration are improving healthcare options for all Americans by issuing a final rule on short-term, limited-duration health plans. The new law allows for the sale and renewal of plans that cover more extended periods than the previous maximum of fewer than three months. This rule will increase choices for Americans facing escalating premiums, creating flexible options that are not currently available in the individual market. Learn more about what the Trump Administration’s new rule means for you. In case you missed it: President Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices.

 

 

4…………> Mr.Xi Retaliation: More Tariffs

 

China has announced retaliatory tariffs on $81bn worth of US goods ranging from liquefied natural gas (LNG) to some aircraft and warned of further measures, signalling it will not back down in a protracted trade war with Washington.

Tariffs are in retaliation to Trump administration’s proposal for higher taxes on Chinese goods, and the White House says China should not underestimate Donald Trump.

Liquefied natural gas, beef, condoms, coffee are among the targeted US products China’s finance ministry unveiled new sets of additional tariffs on 5,207 goods imported from the United States, ranging from 5 to 25%. China’s Commerce Ministry said in a separate statement Beijing’s new set of proposed import tariffs on US goods were rational and restrained. The ministry said the timing of the implementation of the new tariffs on US goods would depend on the actions of the US.

5…………> Poison The “Kafirs”: Tunisian Jihadists

 

German authorities revealed further details of an investigation into a Tunisian man accused of planning an Islamist-inspired biological terror attack.

Sief Allah H. was arrested in June in a commando raid on his apartment in the western city of Cologne, leading to the discovery of “toxic substances” that were later determined to be deadly ricin poison. The 29-year-old was also alleged to have bomb-making materials in his possession.

Bibi1581 Blog For 05/19/2018: Evening Edition

1…………> Global Warming: The Damage

 

“The Convention on Biological Diversity has very little leadership. There is no-one setting the bar, holding the standard of what a nation should do. So, science like this report holds nations to account and maybe embarrasses them to take some leadership because right now no nation is showing that leadership.

“When it comes to their natural heritage, we are running out of time; the extinction crisis is on. Thirty percent of species will go extinct in the next 50 years if we don’t safeguard nature properly,” said Prof. James Watson from the University of Queensland and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Millions of square miles of forests, parks, and conservation areas are under “intense human pressure” from mining, logging, and farming, with countries rich and poor, are quick to designate protected areas but fail to follow up with funding and enforcement.

 




2…………> Kingsmen Gang: Busted

 

A federal jury in Buffalo, New York, has convicted three leaders and members of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club (KMC) gang identified as David Pirk, 67, KMC National President, Andre Jenkins aka Little Bear, 39,  and Timothy Enix, aka Blaze, 58, KMC Nomad, on multiple charges for their roles in a major racketeering operation in furtherance of crime of violence, murder in aid of racketeering, possession and discharge of a firearm in a crime of violence, using and maintaining premises for drug dealing and possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime

 

“The defendants and their associates transformed the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club into a vicious gang that terrorized the Buffalo area, engaging in senseless murders, brutal violence, robberies, and drug trafficking,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan.  “But after today’s verdict, the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club’s reign of terror is coming to an end.  The U.S. Department of Justice and our partners will aggressively pursue violent gangs wherever they are found and bring them to justice.”

“Motorcycle gangs have evolved over 70 years from bar-room brawlers to somewhat sophisticated criminals,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Loeffert. “The Kingsmen’s leadership not only voiced a desire to turn its club into a “one-percenter” gang, it acted on that desire when Paul Maue and DJ Szymanski were killed. Those murders told everyone that the Kingsmen do not want to be aligned with the vast majority of riders who are law-abiding citizens. With today’s verdicts, the repeated and regular acts of violence so inculcated into the culture of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club are over.”

 

Defendant David Pirk, wanted to establish the KMC as a one percent club, meaning that that 99 percent of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens with the remaining one percent engaged in certain activities such as drug and firearm trafficking, acts of violence, murder, assault, robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.

China’s second aircraft carrier left its dock at Dalian Shipyard in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, for its first sea trials, and joined other ships of PLA Navy for a show of force.

 



4………….> Cartel’s Banker: Rabobank

 

Rabobank National Association (Rabobank), a Roseville, California subsidiary of the Netherlands-based Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., was sentenced for impairing, impeding and obstructing its primary regulator, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), by concealing deficiencies in its anti-money laundering (AML) program and for obstructing the OCC’s examination of Rabobank. Rabobank was sentenced to a two-year term of probation, and ordered to pay the statutory maximum fine of $500,000. Additionally, as part of its guilty plea, Rabobank forfeited $368,701,259 to the United States as a result of allowing illicit funds to be processed through the bank. 

“Rabobank’s branches on the Mexican border processed hundreds of millions of dollars in suspicious transactions likely tied to international narcotics trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “Instead of filing reports that would have alerted law enforcement to the suspicious activity, as required by law, the bank looked the other way and then compounded its misconduct by conspiring to cover-up its failures and deceiving its regulator. Today’s sentence and the related forfeiture demonstrate that the Department of Justice will use all the tools at our disposal to combat drug trafficking and transnational crime—including prosecuting financial institutions that turn a blind eye to illicit proceeds moving through their customers’ accounts.” 

On Feb. 7, Rabobank pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and to corruptly obstruct an examination of a financial institution, admitting that between 2009 and 2012 it implemented policies and procedures that precluded and suppressed its investigations into potentially suspicious transactions near the U.S.-Mexico border, much of which was conducted by customers and through accounts that Rabobank had previously designated “High-Risk.” 

As a result of its failures, Rabobank admitted that certain customer accounts were involved in not less than $368,701,259 in suspicious transactions that were either unreported or untimely reported to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), as required by the BSA. These transactions included high-volume cash deposits and withdrawals, check transactions, electronic transfers, and wire transfers that were consistent with illegal activity such as trade-based money laundering, bulk cash smuggling, structuring, and the black market peso exchange.
