Last week President Trump announced a peace deal in the Middle East between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Experts have widely praised the first Middle East peace deal in decades while the Obama gang, Democrats, Turkey and Iran hate it. The historic peace treaty was signed this week. Reuters reported that phone lines opened between Israel and the UAE soon after the agreement was signed: www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-emirates-telecoms-idUSKCN25C0DBThe UAE and Israeli foreign ministers held their first publicly-acknowledged call on Sunday after the Gulf state opened telephone lines to Israel as part of a normalisation of ties. Middle East expert John Carafano also praised the President’s efforts: www.foxnews.com/opinion/israel-uae-agreement-trump-james-carafano.ampThursday’s announcement of a “historic peace agreement” between Israel and the United Arab Emirates — the first deal to normalize relations between Israel and an Arab nation brokered by the U.S. in over a quarter-century — is more evidence that President Trump is the first president in a long time to get U.S. Middle East policy more right than wrong. Under the agreement, Israel and the UAE will establish “full normalization of relations,” including diplomatic relations with the opening of embassies, trade, tourism, direct flights and other agreements. The only two other Arab nations that have diplomatic relations with Israel are Egypt and Jordan…. ….Let’s be honest. The Trump administration inherited a Middle East policy from the Obama administration that was collapsing faster than a bad day on the Dow. Iran had become more belligerent after the Iran Nuclear Deal and its surrogates were on the march everywhere. ISIS was governing a murderous caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq. Syria had collapsed in civil war. Iraq teetered. Israel faced increasing international isolation. Yet Trump promptly turned a corner on every one of these setbacks for American policy. NSA Director O’Brien noted that everyone was happy with the deal but Ben Rhodes from the Obama Administration and the Ayatollah:

www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-hammers-huawei-more-restrictions-using-american-chip-technologyAfter President Trump last night gave ByteDance 90 days to divest TikTok's US business, the Trump Administration kicked off a week that will be dominated by coverage of the Democrats' "virtual" convention by doubling down on its attacks on Huawei at a particularly sensitive time for the telecoms giant, as we explained in a recent post about the discontinuation of production for a critical microchip. Shortly after Reuters published the scoop, the Commerce Department confirmed its plans to further tighten restrictions governing the company's access to chips made using American technology, even if these chips are produced by foreign firms. The company will also add 38 Huawei affiliates in 21 countries to the government's economic blacklist, the sources said, raising the total to 152 affiliates since Huawei was first added in May 2019. The department put out a press release with more details on the order, along with a statement from Secretary Ross: "Huawei and its foreign affiliates have extended their efforts to obtain advanced semiconductors developed or produced from U.S. software and technology in order to fulfill the policy objectives of the Chinese Communist Party,” said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. "As we have restricted its access to U.S. technology, Huawei and its affiliates have worked through third parties to harness U.S. technology in a manner that undermines U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. This multi-pronged action demonstrates our continuing commitment to impede Huawei’s ability to do so." The PR also listed the 38 new Huawei affiliates being added to the Entity List over "threatening...the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States." Huawei Cloud Computing Technology; Huawei Cloud Beijing; Huawei Cloud Dalian; Huawei Cloud Guangzhou; Huawei Cloud Guiyang; Huawei Cloud Hong Kong; Huawei Cloud Shanghai; Huawei Cloud Shenzhen; Huawei OpenLab Suzhou; Wulanchabu Huawei Cloud Computing Technology; Huawei Cloud Argentina; Huawei Cloud Brazil; Huawei Cloud Chile; Huawei OpenLab Cairo; Huawei Cloud France; Huawei OpenLab Paris; Huawei Cloud Berlin; Huawei OpenLab Munich; Huawei Technologies Dusseldorf GmbH; Huawei OpenLab Delhi; Toga Networks; Huawei Cloud Mexico; Huawei OpenLab Mexico City; Huawei Technologies Morocco; Huawei Cloud Netherlands; Huawei Cloud Peru; Huawei Cloud Russia; Huawei OpenLab Moscow; Huawei Cloud Singapore; Huawei OpenLab Singapore; Huawei Cloud South Africa; Huawei OpenLab Johannesburg; Huawei Cloud Switzerland; Huawei Cloud Thailand; Huawei OpenLab Bangkok; Huawei OpenLab Istanbul; Huawei OpenLab Dubai; and Huawei Technologies R&D UK Meanwhile, the battle over Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou's extradition to the US continues to rage in Canada (though that might be a somewhat over-dramatic description of the case as it meanders through the Canadian legal system).

www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/08/18/sp-500-rises-to-record-high/S&P 500 Rises to Record High, Passes Prepandemic Top for First Time The S&P 500 climbed to a new record high on Tuesday, rising above the previous all-time high set before the pandemic hit the U.S. stock market and economy. The broad index of large public U.S. companies has been hovering just below that record high for over a week. On Tuesday, it rose three-tenths of a percentage point to 3,395.06, about 0.045 above the February 19 intraday record of 3,393.52. The new record high was not maintained for long. Shortly after, the index slipped below that level and into negative territory for the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced one-tenth of a percent. The Nasdaq Composite also made a record high, trading six-tenths of a percent higher. It had previously surpassed the prepandemic high. Communications services—a new category that includes many of the big tech stocks—and consumer discretionary were the best sectors of the S&P 500 in morning trading on Tuesday.

dailycaller.com/2020/08/19/trump-goodyear-tires-limousine-beast/Trump Says Goodyear Tires Will Be Removed From Presidential Limousine, Doubles Down On Boycott President Donald Trump said that he would “swap out” Goodyear tires from his presidential limousine nicknamed “The Beast” after earlier calling for the company to be boycotted. “On the Goodyear issue, you ride on Goodyear tires in the presidential limousine. If there were an alternative, you want those tires swapped out?” asked Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts during a Wednesday press conference. (RELATED: Trump Formally Orders Iran Nuclear Deal ‘Snapback’ — Instructs Pompeo To Ask UN To Restore All Sanctions) Trump responded, “Yeah, I would do that. I would swap them out based on what I heard. We’ll see what happens. Look. you’re going to have lot of people not wanting to buy that product anymore. They’ll buy it from a competitor — made in the USA, too.” Trump called for a boycott of Goodyear tires earlier on Wednesday after the company had supposedly banned employees from wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. “Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!)” The “ban on MAGA hats” the president referred to reportedly originates from a Goodyear training slideshow in Topeka, Kanas, that said “Black Lives Matter” was “acceptable” clothing while “Blue Lives Matter” and “MAGA Attire” was not acceptable. Goodyear later came out with a statement declaring, “the visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate” adding the company has “always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so.” ...... More Background information that started this: www.wibw.com/2020/08/18/goodyear-employees-say-new-no-tolerance-policy-is-discriminatory/Goodyear responds to zero-tolerance policy slide labeled by employee as discriminatory TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A Goodyear employee says the company has put out a new policy that has some calling it not equal for all. A photo seen circulating on social media shows a slide that was presented during a diversity training showing what’s acceptable and what isn’t acceptable as part of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy. Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride. Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material. According to the employee who took the photo of the slide, it was presented at the Topeka plant by an area manager and says the slide came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio. "If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I'm not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone's not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that's discriminatory," said the employee under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job. "If we're talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it's discrimination." 13 NEWS has reached out to Goodyear about the slide. They did not answer questions when asked if the slide was part of a training from their main office. Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.” Melissa Monaco, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

Re: Trump's taxes
It won't matter if his taxes ever come out. it won't matter if his taxes don't ever come out. you wanna know why? because we already know what's in them.
since early 2017 when people starting resigning, we heard that trump has no organizational skills, no attention span, no respect for history or procedure, and only acts on his personal grievances..most people were like, oh, yeah, that sounds right, he runs his business like a 1970's mob boss. then it kept happening.
articles quoting staffers from air force 1 talking about how he basically held them hostage talking their ears off about stupid shit, and trailing off muttering about cable news and obama. and how they skipped dinners and other events overseas because they felt the "food would be too challenging for him". and how they have to sneak vegetables into his mashed potatoes like a fucking dog. and everyone was like, well yeah, he's a toddler.
then he got caught asking other countries to help him win the election. we read the transcripts. we heard the testimony. and everyone was like, well, yeah, he doesn't care about governing, he only cares about reelection and "winning" and having people like him.
then bolton comes out with his book. and we heard that every decision he made in 3 years was based on the calculus of reelection, and as shocking as that should've been, nothing bolton said was even news-worthy with this president, because he's a fucking imbecile with zero experience in government or world affairs, and has no idea where half the countries are. and he fawned over dictators who said nice things to him because yeah, of course, he's a horrifying narcissist.
then his niece came out with a book recalling all these terrible stories of him being a piece of shit, and it was barely a blip. because everyone was like, well yeah, he's a piece of shit.
and now 175,000 people are dead, and the president is fucking with the postal service and tweeting about voter fraud and calling obama a traitor, instead of trying to fix it or show empathy, and everyone is like yeah, he has no ability to show empathy, he's a piece of shit criminal narcissist toddler fucking fraud of a human. the rest of the world just shrugs and feels bad for (some of) us.
so let me give you a little cheat sheet. he's overvalued his assets in order to commit insurance fraud. he's undervalued his worth in order to commit tax fraud. he's not worth nearly what he tells people or what he himself probably believes. he owes people/banks in china and russia 10x what he could ever possibly pay them. he has dirty deals with dirty people and if he wasn't president he probably would be at the bottom of the east river in a rolled up rug.
i don't need to see his financials and neither do you. and spoiler alert, if they come out, and say, well, exactly what every person thinks they say, then all the people who hate him will vote for biden, and all the people who like him, will still support him. nothing moves the needle. there is no needle. he sold it to buy greenland

President Trump is campaigning in the battleground state of Pennsylvania near the hometown of former Vice President Joe Biden, hours before Biden will accept the Democratic Presidential nomination on the last day of the Democratic National Convention. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images) “Today I’m pleased to make a truly historic announcement in our battle against the China virus that will save countless lives,” he told reporters gathered in the White House briefing room. “The FDA has issued an emergency use authorization and that’s such a powerful term, emergency use authorization for a treatment known as convalescent plasma.” The treatment involves injecting coronavirus patients with the liquid portion of blood containing coronavirus antibodies, and Trump urged any Americans who were diagnosed with coronavirus “to go to Coronavirus.gov and sign up and donate plasma today.” (RELATED: What Happens If A Coronavirus Vaccine Is Deliverable Before The Election?) WATCH: Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar noted that the therapy is most effective in patients recently diagnosed with coronavirus and that the treatment itself proved a 35% mortality rate reduction in patients under 80 who were not already using a ventilator. “I just want to emphasize this point because I don’t want you to gloss over this number,” he reiterated. “We dream in drug development of something like a 35% mortality reduction. This is a major advance in the treatment of patients. This is a major advance.” WATCH: Throughout the press conference, Trump and Azar both additionally talked about the progress the administration’s Operation Warp Speed has made toward developing vaccine candidates to combat coronavirus.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/28/far-left-magazine-trump-wins-new-deal-victory-tva-workers-democrats-ignored/Far-Left Magazine: Trump Wins ‘New Deal Victory’ for TVA Workers That Democrats Ignored President Trump won a “right-wing New Deal victory” for American workers with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by stopping an outsourcing scheme as Democrats ignored the issue, a far-left socialist magazine admits. In July, U.S. Tech Workers, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and TVA union workers blew the whistle on the federally-owned corporation’s contracts with firms Capgemini, Accenture, and CGI to force about 200 American workers out of their jobs and make them train their foreign H-1B visa replacements. In the middle of the American workers’ training their H-1B replacements, Trump stepped in to stop the outsourcing scheme, required TVA to rehire all the Americans they had outsourced, fired TVA chairman Skip Thompson, and pressured the corporation to review TVA CEO Jeff Lyash’s $8 million salary. The self-described “socialist” magazine Jacobin admitted in a piece titled “How Trump Got His Right-Wing New Deal Victory” that the president filled the void for saving the jobs of American workers where Democrats failed to even acknowledge the issue. Jacobin‘s Fred Stafford wrote: Only two Democrats — Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama and Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee — spoke to the union about fighting the outsourcing, the same number as Republicans who did so. Cohen requested that House Democratic leadership include, in a coronavirus relief bill, “language that prohibits federal government agencies, including the TVA, from privatizing federal jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic,” but no such language ever materialized. [Emphasis added] “What follows is a dark lesson about what happens when the Left ignores its historic commitment to workers,” Stafford wrote, calling Trump’s action against TVA “a material victory for a small but not insignificant number of American workers.” Stafford continued: And just like that, Trump had saved two hundred union workers at one of the last bastions of the New Deal’s legacy, and during an unprecedented global crisis to boot. An easier political victory for such a loathed figure would be hard to find. And worse, for the first time in months, the polls for November’s presidential election are suddenly tightening. [Emphasis added] Surveys and poll taken this year show the public is overwhelmingly on Trump’s side of the labor issue as majorities continue to oppose corporation’s outsourcing of American jobs to imported foreign workers. While tens of millions of Americans remain jobless and underemployed, nearly 60 percent of American adults told Ipsos pollsters in July that they want to halt foreign visa worker programs — such as the H-1B visa — so that Americans are prioritized for jobs. In June, a majority of Americans, including black Americans, said there is no labor shortage. Aside from ordering all federal agencies to conduct internal audits to clarify that they are not displacing American workers with imported foreign visa workers, Trump has halted the H-1B, H-2B, H-4, L-1, and J-1 visa programs to give job priority to unemployed Americans. The State Department has sought to poke loopholes in the order. At the Republican National Convention (RNC) this week, Trump said one of his main priorities is “quickly returning to full employment” and invited many of the TVA workers to the speech. Every year, the U.S. admits about 1.2 million legal immigrants on green cards to permanently resettle in the country. In addition, another 1.4 million foreign workers are admitted every year to take American jobs. Often, Americans are fired and replaced by visa workers. Many are forced to train their foreign replacements. In June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the president’s control over legal immigration. In Trump v. Hawaii, the court stated that presidents have extraordinarily broad discretion to admit or exclude foreign nationals from the U.S. when they believe doing so is in the national interest.

dailycaller.com/2020/08/29/uae-israel-boycott-peace-deal/UAE Officially Ends Boycott On Israel Following Peace Deal The United Arab Emirates formally ended its boycott against Israeli goods on Saturday, roughly a week after signing a U.S.-brokered peace deal with the country, the Associated Press reported. UAE leadership released the decree allowing trade between the two nations on Saturday, with it also laying down a process for integrating their economies, the AP reported. President Donald trump announced the U.S. had brokered the UAE-Israel peace deal on August 13, saying it was a major step toward peace in the Middle East. UAE and Israel are among the most advanced nations in the Middle East, with the UAE’s rich supply of oil springing up metropolises like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and Israel playing home to Western-style tech companies and other advanced trades. Israeli and United Arab Emirates flags line a road in the Israeli coastal city of Netanya, on August 16, 2020. (Photo by JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images) “Prime Minister Netanyahu and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan express their deep appreciation to President Trump for his dedication to peace in the region and to the pragmatic and unique approach he has taken to achieve it,” Israel and the UAE said in a statement announcing the initial peace deal. (RELATED: US Universities Took $600 Million Tied To Islamic Nations While Forming Grade School Curricula) Trump has touted his recent successes in the Middle East as a central part of his 2020 campaign pitch. In addition to the peace deal, the U.S. announced major troop withdrawals from Iraq on Friday and the continued withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in accordance with the peace deal signed with the Taliban in February. The exact progress on the Afghanistan withdrawal is unclear, however. The initial deal called for all troops to leave by mid-November, but there are still 8,600 troops in the region as of the last official tally. Trump now says the U.S. will reduce to roughly 4,000 by Election Day. There are currently 8,600 troops in Afghanistan and 5,200 in Iraq.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/28/black-voices-for-trump-helping-to-clean-up-blm-chaos-in-wisconsin/Black Voices for Trump Helping to Clean Up BLM Chaos in Wisconsin Scott Presler, who has become a social media influencer by cleaning up Democrat-controlled and decaying American cities, is joining forces with Black Voices for Trump to help Wisconsin communities recover from the recent Black Lives Matter riots. Presler, whose mission was inspired by President Donald Trump’s criticism of Democrat-run cities, will join with black Trump supporters and others who believe in his cause on Saturday in Milwaukee and Kenosha. Presler, who doubles his effort visiting American cities by registering people to vote, said he was at first discouraged to go to Wisconsin, where deadly riots have taken place after a black man was shot by police. “As soon as I announced I was coming to Milwaukee and Kenosha, people warned me not to go,” Presler told Breitbart News, adding that he will not let Black Lives Matter and Antifa deter him. “If American citizens can’t enjoy their cities, then we’ve already lost our freedom,” Presler said. “War is where peace needs to be.” Breitbart News reported on Presler’s efforts to clean up American cities and register voters: Since his first cleanup in Baltimore in August of 2019, Presler and his volunteers and fellow Trump supporters collected 105 tons of trash in Austin, Chicago, Houston, and Los Angeles before the New Year arrived. This year, so far, he has also cleaned up in Portland, Oregon, but it was his trip to San Francisco that put a new spotlight on the blight in one of America’s once shining cities. “You saw some horrible things in San Francisco,” Breitbart News asked Presler. “Can you share what you saw, because it wasn’t just coke bottles and water bottles.” “I can just tell you I have been to some of America’s most dirtiest and dangerous cities — I’ve been to Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco — San Francisco was the only city where you had to watch your step because of human excrement,” Presler said. Black Voices for Trump’s mission detailed on its website reveals why partnering with Presler is a good match: Empowering the Black community has always been a top priority for Donald J. Trump, even before he became President. Since his inauguration, President Trump has championed policies that have revitalized the Black community. He has done this by creating a more inclusive economy for Black Americans, providing historic funding for our Historical Black Colleges and Universities, expanding school choice, and giving former inmates a second chance to achieve the American Dream. “I’m doing these cleanups because I believe love is taking action,” Presler told Breitbart News. “I don’t want to be just another empty suit, like Joe Biden. I want to be a man of action, like Donald Trump.” And despite the rioting and destruction across the country in the name of racial justice, the message of one civil rights icon and advocate of change through peaceful protests is perhaps even more profound today. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said ‘Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that,’” Presler said. “So, it’s especially appropriate that we are meeting up at the Republican Party office off of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Milwaukee.”

www.zerohedge.com/technology/trump-administration-invest-1-billion-quantum-computing-aiTrump Administration To Invest $1 Billion In Quantum Computing, AI Authored by Alan McDonnell via The Epoch Times, www.theepochtimes.com/trump-administration-to-invest-1-billion-in-quantum-computing-ai_3476446.htmlThe Trump Administration announced awards of more than $1 billion Wednesday for the establishment of 12 new artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information science (QIS) research & development institutes across the United States. The administration says it is taking the action to ensure American leadership in what it termed “industries of the future,” which include 5G and other critical technologies. With the support of the White House, the National Science Foundation‘s (NSF’s) AI Research Institutes and the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) QIS Research Centers will serve as hubs for innovation and research & development. “Today, the Trump Administration is making an unprecedented investment to strengthen American leadership in AI and quantum, and to ensure the Nation benefits from these emerging technologies. Built upon the uniquely American free market approach to technological advancement, these institutes will be world-class hubs for accelerating American innovation and building the 21st century American workforce,” said U.S. Chief Technology Officer, Michael Kratsios in a statement. The technology chief said that such technologies were currently being used to fight the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus. “The U.S. is using every tool at its disposal to defeat the novel coronavirus, including artificial intelligence,” Kratsios wrote in an Op-Ed published in the Wall Street Journal on May 27. However, AI technology is not only being used to combat disease, he cautioned. “At the same time, AI is being twisted by authoritarian regimes to violate rights. The Chinese Communist Party is reportedly using AI to uncover and punish those who criticize the regime’s pandemic response and to institute a type of coronavirus social-credit score - assigning people color codes to determine who is free to go out and who will be forced into quarantine.” United States Continues to LeadAccording to a National Strategic Overview for Quantum Information Science report from 2018 (pdf), the United States can harness quantum information science to “improve its industrial base, create jobs, and provide economic and national security benefits.” The report mentioned previous examples of American scientific ingenuity that laid the foundation for a host of critical modern technologies. “Prior examples of QIS-related technologies include semiconductor microelectronics, photonics, the global positioning system (GPS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),” the report said. “These underpin significant parts of the national economic and defense infrastructure. Future scientific and technological discoveries from QIS may be even more impactful.”
“The Department of Energy is a staunch supporter of cutting edge research to advance quantum information science,” said Secretary of Energy, Dan Brouillette, in a statement. “I am proud to lead an Agency committed to developing industries of the future by making investments today to accelerate American innovation.”In a joint statement from The White House, Kratsios and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Coordination, Chris Liddell, said that “The establishment of these new national AI and QIS institutes will not only accelerate discovery and innovation, but will also promote job creation and workforce development. NSF’s AI Research Institutes and DOE’S QIS Research Centers will include a strong emphasis on training, education, and outreach to help Americans of all backgrounds, ages, and skill levels participate in our 21st-century economy.”The White House statement says the administration also views the research facilities as a manifestation of the United States’ free-market approach to the advancement of technology, as they leverage the efforts of the Federal government, American industry, and academia for the betterment of the Nation. “As history has shown, America is a country of thinkers, doers, and innovators,” Kratsios and Liddel said. “The United States is the proud home of the greatest technological breakthroughs the world has ever known, from creating the modern Internet to putting humans on the moon. Emerging technologies like AI and QIS will lead to transformative benefits for the American people in healthcare, communications, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, security, and beyond.”Funding AppropriationA total of 7 AI research institutes will receive funding to the tune of $140 million over 5 years from the NSF and other federal partners, and will focus on the fields of synthetic manufacturing, machine-learning, precision agriculture, and forecasting prediction. The research efforts will be carried out at universities including the Universities of Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and California, and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As the largest non-defense funding body for research & development in the field of AI, the NSF plans to make over $300 million in awards over the coming years. In order to set up the QIS research centers, the Department of Energy will award $625 million over the next five years to the Oak Ridge, Argonne, Brookhaven, Fermi, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. In addition, the private sector will provide a further $300 million in funding.

www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-administration-to-cut-u-s-troop-presence-in-iraq-by-one-third-report/Trump Administration to Cut U.S. Troop Presence in Iraq by One Third: Report The Trump administration is preparing to reduce the U.S. troop presence in Iraq by about one-third, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. There are currently 5,200 American service members stationed in Iraq. American officials told the Journal that the Pentagon is planning to reduce that number to 3,500 over the next two to three months. The reduction would bring American troop levels in Iraq to roughly the same as in early 2015, when the U.S. began to intensify its campaign against ISIS. The Pentagon has not publicly announced plans to bring troops back to the United States. Iraqi prime minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi visited the U.S. last week, and told reporters that “ISIS sleeper cells are still operating in Iraq.” President Trump has pushed to withdraw as many American troops from the Middle East as possible, and has repeatedly vowed to end the war in Afghanistan. Around 8,600 U.S. soldiers remain in that country. A drawdown of troops from Iraq could allow Trump to tout the action going into the November 2020 election. “Unlike previous administrations I have kept America out of new wars, and our troops are coming home,” Trump said at the Republican National Convention on Thursday. Trump has also pushed for a reduction of the U.S. military presence in Germany.

The markets are a sure sign for an incumbent politician in their chance to win re-election. Based on the markets today, President Trump has a very good chance of being re-elected. www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/nasdaq-s-p-500-score-new-intraday-highs-as-big-tech-and-working-from-home-shares-drive-gains/ar-BB18AuNUMajor U.S. stock indexes closed higher Tuesday, ending near or above prior all-time records, as upbeat economic reports and dovish tones from the Fed helped feed the buying momentum on Wall Street.
The ascent for stocks comes despite expectations for a seasonally challenging month for equities, following the best August returns in more than 30 years.
How did stock benchmarks perform?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rose 215.61 points to end at 28,645.66, or 0.8% higher, the S&P 500 index (SPX) added 26.34 points to close at a record 3,526.65, a gain of 0.8%, after setting an intraday record of 3,528.03; while the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP) advanced 165.21 points to a record 11,939.67 finish, a rise of 1.1%, after touching a new intraday all-time high of 11,945.72.These results are great, especially considering the economic crisis that hit in March when the US shut down its markets due to the China coronavirus. This also is good news for President Trump based on a study at the Socionomics Institute which shows that the stock market is the key indicator in elections: www.socionomics.net/election-2020/The stock market is a more powerful presidential reelection indicator than GDP, inflation and the unemployment rate combined. That was the key finding of a 2012 paper by our team at the Socionomics Institute.
Specifically, we found that the net percentage change in the stock market in the three years leading up to Election Day had a significant correlation with the incumbent’s margin of victory or defeat. The market’s net percentage changes over the one, two and four years prior to the election were weaker, but still significant, reelection indicators.
Our study examined every presidential reelection bid going back to George Washington’s run for a second term in 1792. Regardless of whether we studied elections from the 18th, 19th, 20th or 21st centuries, the stock market remained a reliable, powerful and significant indicator of presidents’ fates at the ballot box.
You might think that the results indicate that voters vote their pocketbooks — or at least their portfolios. But we found differently. Almost no one owned stocks in the 1700s, 1800s or even early 1900s, yet the stock market remained a reliable reelection indicator. We used Robert Prechter’s socionomic theory to explain our results.
The theory proposes that waves of social mood regulate the ups and downs in the stock market as well as other social attitudes and actions, such as the propensity to retain the leader. As social mood becomes more positive, society sends stock prices higher and becomes more inclined to reelect the leader, and vice versa. Thus social mood, not the stock market per se, regulates society’s inclinations to keep the incumbent or throw the bum out.The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 23,377 three years prior to Election Day 2020. Applying the above finding to the current election, President Trump will be a mild favorite to win if the Dow is between 23,377 and 28,052 when Americans go to the polls, and he will be a strong favorite if the market is above 28,052. Joe Biden will be a mild favorite to win if the Dow is below 23,377, and he will be a strong favorite if the market is below 22,208. See below picture from Socionomics Institute: Today the DOW closed at 28,645. Based on this President Trump has a better than 87% chance of winning the 2020 election as the markets now stand.

dailycaller.com/2020/09/01/trump-cdc-evictions-executive-order-coronavirus/REPORT: Trump Admin Seeking To Prevent Evictions For American Making Under $99k President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking to prevent the eviction of any U.S. citizen making less than $99k per year as the coronavirus pandemic continues, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday. While the President of the United States does not have the authority under normal circumstances to put a wholesale ban on evicting tenants from their residences, the administration reportedly hopes to use the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s quarantine guidelines to effectively prevent evictions. (EXCLUSIVE REPORT: The Inside Story Of How The Trump Team Is Rebuilding Our Supply Chain Preparedness) If Trump’s gambit works, individuals making less than $99k and couples making less than $198k would be protected from evictions, so long as they are likely to become homeless if evicted, according to Bloomberg. Trump has increasingly resorted to executive action to address the pandemic after the issue left Congress in gridlock last month. Trump has signed several executive orders aimed at shoring up finances for small businesses and keeping individual Americans afloat as state government across the country are forcing companies to remain closed.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/01/white-house-denounces-ludicrous-washington-d-c-plan-to-change-or-remove-historical-monuments/White House Denounces ‘Ludicrous’ Washington, D.C. Plan to Change or Remove Historical Monuments The White House on Tuesday denounced a proposal from a group appointed by Washington, DC, Mayor Murial Bowser to change or remove historical monuments in the city. “The radically liberal mayor of Washington, D.C., is repeating the same left-wing narrative used to incite dangerous riots: demolishing our history and destroying our great heritage,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement, describing the report drafted by Bowser’s request as “ludicrous.” The report proposes a recommendation that the federal government “remove, relocate, or contextualize” monuments such as the Washington Monument, the Christopher Columbus Statue, an Andrew Jackson Statue, and the Jefferson Memorial. – DCFaces Working Report Bowser shared the report on social media on Tuesday. “This July, I tasked the DCFACES Working Group with evaluating public spaces to ensure the namesake’s legacy is consistent with DC Values,” Bowser wrote on Twitter. “They have delivered the report, and I look forward to reviewing and advancing their recommendations.” The chairs of the working group said they examined over examined 3,050 properties and monuments and discovered over 153 “persons of concern” that warranted a change. “Our decision-making prism focused on key disqualifying histories, including participation in slavery, systemic racism, mistreatment of, or actions that suppressed equality for, persons of color, women and LGBTQ communities and violation of the DC Human Right Act,” they wrote in their report. But the White House said that the president had no interest in participating in any attempt to dramatically transform Washington, DC, adding that Bowser should be “ashamed” for even proposing the idea. “President Donald J. Trump believes these places should be preserved, not torn down; respected, not hated; and passed on for generations to come,” the statement read. “As long as President Trump is in the White House, the mayor’s irresponsible recommendations will go absolutely nowhere.”

This sorry ass motherfucker! His supporters really are brainwashed cult members Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers' Source: The Atlantic When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps. America and its allies stopped the German advance toward Paris there in the spring of 1918. But Trump, on that same trip, asked aides, “Who were the good guys in this war?” He also said that he didn’t understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the Allies. Trump’s understanding of concepts such as patriotism, service, and sacrifice have interested me since he expressed contempt for the war record of the late Senator John McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 while running for the Republican nomination for president. “I like people who weren’t captured.” There was no precedent in American politics for the expression of this sort of contempt, but the performatively patriotic Trump did no damage to his candidacy by attacking McCain in this manner. Nor did he set his campaign back by attacking the parents of Humayun Khan, an Army captain who was killed in Iraq in 2004. Trump remained fixated on McCain, one of the few prominent Republicans to continue criticizing him after he won the nomination. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser,” the president told aides. Trump was not invited to McCain’s funeral. (These sources, and others quoted in this article, spoke on condition of anonymity. The White House did not return earlier calls for comment, but Alyssa Farah, a White House spokesperson, emailed me this statement shortly after this story was posted: “This report is false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard. He’s demonstrated his commitment to them at every turn: delivering on his promise to give our troops a much needed pay raise, increasing military spending, signing critical veterans reforms, and supporting military spouses. This has no basis in fact.”) Read more: www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/
