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

By Steve Cortes

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 FBI only looked at 3000 of 675,000 Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails.” They purposely didn’t look at the disasters. This news is just out. @FoxNews

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!

5…………> Mount Etna Eruption: Lava & Ash

 

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.
