Is Trump consolidating power now? " they will either wear him down, force him down or he'll simply run out of time and support." - Y I was thinking like that about 4-6 weeks ago. But I think we are seeing some evidence that he is (re) gaining power and confidence + he has some real accomplishments: Supreme Court justice, TPP killed, immigration falling, higher stock prices, more jobs + those who signaled they were abandoning their support of him after the Syrian missile attack have seen more positive than negative things since then, and seem willing to give him a second chance + He seems to have decided to ignore McMaster, and go back to Bannon as a key adviser, at least on some issues + Kushner's star seems to be fading + His willingness to pull the plug on the Paris accord, is a sign of growing confidence + The increasing humiliation of his old opponents like H3llary, Obama, John McCain etc, could leave him as the last man standing + Putin (in his interview with Megan Kelly) seems to understand that Trump needs to sort out domestic battles before meeting Putin face-to-face. or even talking via normal channels == > see: Laughingstock :

"17 Intelligence agencies" & Deep State Lies Megyn Kelly started off her interview with the "17 intelligence agency" bullfeathers, and Putin disposed of her silly question Full Megyn Kelly-Vladimir Putin exchange on Russian interference in U.S. election https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7p7MxDfXF4 TWO LIES / mis-representations by Megyn: ==== + She cannot list the agencies, and has not read the reports she refers to + The agencies are totally partisan, representing Deep State interests AGAINST those that threaten their power Putin: "there are NO independent sources in this world" "Quarrels in the US are spilling over and infecting the political dialog in the whole world" Comments: 1/ Megyn's approach and narrative here is 100% spin. Putin is a serious guy, and sexed up lying clown like Megyn does not belong on the same stage with him. We are all tired of hearing people use Hellary's fake excuse for losing as a way of disrupting Trump's efforts. As Vladimir said, it is time to restore an ordinary political relationship between the US and Russia 2/ As a former IBM employee who can take code down to the binary, I can emphatically state that if the hack has Russian "footprints" They DEFINITELY didn't do it. They are not that stupid. This whole Russian/Trump thing is the biggest crock I have ever heard.

HER BEHAVIOR is attracting blame to herself like a gigantic magnet Pathetic Kathy Griffin Cries After Promoting Trump Decapitation At 4:57 minutes, there's an image of her beheading her lawyer, Lisa Blum

From the "Is Trump a Laughing Stock?" thread ==== > http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index.php?showtopic=21511&page=2 HERE's A GOOD ANSWER - to the claims in this thread the the US is a laughing stock (This is from in an Opinion column in today's Malaya Business Insight, in the PH): Trump's unlikely gift to Europe - by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon EXCERPTS "FIVE letters grabbed the head headlines over and over in Germany this week: T-R-U-M-P" . . . America may have been one of the founders of the G20, but the band* sounds ready to move on without it lead vocalist - or at least hum a different tune while the United States sings its own tune. in just about every conversation, Trump's name was mentioned not as an example, or even as a punch line, but as a source of potential danger - a leader who does not care much about rules-based order, cooperation across borders on on issues as climate change or what the idea of "global governance" means... . . . So whether intentionally or not, Trump has managed to do something rare among American presidents; unify the Europeans, galvanize the globalizers, and offer future G20 leaders a chance to define themselves in contrast to an America no longer at the center of global cooperation." - Ms Lemmon may be working with Reuters =========== Clearly, Trump is Not a Laughing stock, he is a (feared? & effective?) change-maker. Thank God. The globalist vision spouted by Ms. Lemmon horrifies me. The Paris accord was a bad deal signed by Obama, and never voted for by Congress (where it would have failed). If that is her idea of "global governance", it is frightening. Thank God for President Trump and his America first nationalism.

Economists Explain Why Our Economy Crashes Every 18 Years By Joshua Philipp, Epoch Times | March 25, 2016 Traders rush in Wall Street as New York Stock Exchange crashes, sparking a run on banks that spread across the country in October 1929, the beginning of the Stock Market Crash. (OFF/AFP/Getty Images) The U.S. economy has moved according to a set cycle for close to 200 years, and experts warn that if this pattern continues, we can expect another financial crisis starting this year, which will peak in 2019. One of the first warnings of the last financial crisis came from U.K.-based economist and director of the Land Research Trust, Fred Harrison. He began warning of the trends in 1997, and in April 2005 warned that the property boom would only last for another three years before it would crash in 2008. He went on record and told then-U.K Prime Minister Tony Blair about the looming crash. He also turned to the press and presented his data showing the trends. But he, like many others who came to similar conclusions, was ignored until the crisis came to pass. Now, Harrison is again warning of a coming crash, and his predictions are again proving true. Just last year, he warned of the economic woes that have started rearing their heads in 2016. The problem, he said, is the economy rises and falls like clockwork. “We know that for centuries, the land value cycle has operated on an 18-year basis,” Harrison said in a phone interview. “The fact is, there is a very clear 18-year pattern, which is always intersected with a mid-term recession.” Amar Manzoor, author of “The Art of Industrial Warfare” and creator of the 7Tao training system for manufacturing standards, has come to the same conclusion. He said in a phone interview, “This 18-year cycle has resulted in the massive decline of industry and has been the Achilles heel in the performance of Western economies.” Steve Hanke of the Cato Institute, a think tank, noted the same pattern in a February 2010 report. He said the problem rests in the land-value cycle, which has a domino effect on the construction cycle, the business cycle, and then the overall economy. “With the exception of World War II, the peak of most real estate cycles is roughly every 18 years,” Hanke wrote. He shows this has remained mostly consistent over the last 200 years with land value peaks in 1818, 1836, 1854, 1872, 1890, 1907, 1925, 1973, 1979, 1989, and 2006. The 18-year financial cycle is shown in an infographic. Experts note the cycle was disrupted by the First and Second World War, but returned to its former state in 2006. (Epoch Times) While the world wars disrupted the cycles, Hanke noted statistics from “The Depression of 2008,” by Fred E. Foldvary, which show the land-value cycle, construction cycle, and business cycle returned to their pre-world war intervals in 2006, just ahead of the last crash. “This, of course, doesn’t imply that all recessions are preceded by a real estate cycle. It only says that all real estate cycles have spawned economic downturns,” he wrote. If this pattern continues, the next recession may be just around the corner. Harrison predicts the midcycle recession will hit in 2019, and the current property market will peak in 2026 with a severe financial crisis on its heels. Wealth in Land One of the key factors often overlooked is that a good chunk of the U.S. economy is based on real estate. According to the National Association of Home Builders, residential investment and housing services constitute about 17 percent of the GDP. The problem is that about 70 percent of the GDP comes from consumer spending and government health care spending, and these are impacted by changes in the business cycle. The GDP still reflects what was shown in Adam Smith’s 1776 book “The Wealth of Nations,” that the three ingredients to a functioning economy are wages, profit, and rent. The book is regarded as a definitive text in classical economics. According to Harrison, however, the neo-classical school “eliminated land from the radar.” “They view the world as a two-factor model, labor and capital, and they’ve buried the concept of land as a part of capital,” Harrison said. People line up at a saving bank in Millbury, Mass., 1929. The Wall Street crash of Oct. 29, 1929, sparked a run on banks that spread across the country. (OFF/AFP/Getty Images) Despite the pivotal role played by land and rent in the GDP, Harrison said, it is viewed merely as a subcategory of capital. The problem with this view was shown clearly in the 2008 financial crisis. Harrison noted it was blamed on “bankers being foolish with their money,” when at a deeper level, it was “bankers engaged in the real estate market that caused the problem.” “It was a real estate issue,” he said, noting that governments “haven’t done anything to prevent the next crash, because they’re watching the banks.” “Economics today is the economics of a disembodied economy,” Harrison said, noting that economic projections need to consider land and natural resources. Working Economies The 18-year-cycle caused by land values was first pointed out by land economist Homer Hoyt in the 1930s, and a solution to the problem was first proposed by 19th-century journalist and political economist Henry George, who popularized the concept (fittingly known as “Georgism”) that the value of land and resources should be taxed, rather than income and investment. He viewed the heavy taxing of wages, coupled with systems that lock people out from the value of natural resources, as being equivalent to slavery. One of the key causes of the cycle is people getting priced out of the market. A trader shouts orders as stocks were devastated during one of the most frantic days in the history of the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 19, 1987. (Maria Bastone/AFP/Getty Images) “The real estate cycle is determined by the interest rate,” Harrison said. “Today’s record low rates are provoking an extra-ordinary increase in house prices very early in the current cycle.” “If governments want to control the cycle, they need to shift the incentives—that means rebalancing the tax regime by raising the rate of property taxation and reducing taxes on incomes and profits,” he said. The tax on land proposed by George could theoretically break the 18-year cycle by disrupting the cycle of the real estate market pricing people out. Since the tax is based on value of land, including real estate value, owners would be less likely to continually inflate the values. “We’ve been so brainwashed into just not recognizing the significance of land and rent, that the economic cycle acts as it does, creating havoc, and it repeats itself when it could be so easily corrected,” Harrison said. Taiwan is an example of this system in action. After the split between Taiwan and mainland China, the communist mainland believed in seizing and controlling the land itself, while democratic Taiwan believed in allowing a free market while taxing land rather than individual wages. “The reason why China is in deep-deep trouble was because they allowed the local bureaucrats to take the land, and the whole system is in chaos,” Harrison said. “And yet, right at their doorstep they have the example of Taiwan to learn from.” He said Denmark is another example, which also adopted George’s system. Despite having few natural resources, they’re ranked as the happiest nation on earth, and they have the world’s best housing market. “Here you have an advanced economy with very poor natural resources, and their per-capita income is higher than the U.K.’s,” Harrison said. Of course, many governments aren’t showing signs of changing these systems, and the coming economic downturns are likely inevitable. Harrison believes the coming financial crisis could be the worst we’ve ever seen for the simple reason that the global economy is now interconnected like never before. He warns it could lead to a situation where major powers are left to fight or fall. “We either deal with this peacefully, or we end up in a hot bloody war,” he said. “All the signs are we’re going to end up with a bloody war because there’s no other way out of it.” A Looming Conflict Amar Manzoor has approached the looming financial crisis from the standpoint that governments aren’t likely to change the way taxes work. Instead of talking to governments about fixing it, he created the 7Tao system to allow businesses to weather it and fight back. Manzoor has been running the 7Tao industrial warfare training method for U.K. businesses in cooperation with the British government education system. The system is run globally for all organizations as SPECTRE through BLACKOPS Partners Corporation. “I don’t think personally that governments have the inclination to reform. They simply will not look in that direction,” he said. “So it’s down to the businessmen to learn how to survive the difficulties that lie ahead.” == > more: http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/2000510-economists-explain-why-our-economy-crashes-every-18-years/

Same article, different link Hot hot hot, and why property is still cheap in Hong Kong June 03, 2017 Its pretty damn hot in HK right now, And I mean both the weather AND the property market. People are making good use of the pools on Park Island and the ocean and beachs at Ma Wan, and agents are doing well for themselves selling to property to eager buyers who seem to be of the view that demand for property in HK is going to rise in the coming months and years ahead. Property prices are at record historical prices, but this is of course also the case in many other major cities in the world, whether Sydney, London, Berlin, New York, Shanghai. Many experienced property analysts who have seen prior cycles believe that the fundamental conditions need to support a new boom over the next few years are firmly in place. Looking at the Centadata property graph below, many are expecting a new peak to get up to 200 on their price graph by the end of 2018 as the market starts to accelerate. > more: http://parkislandhongkong.blogspot.com.es/2017/06/hot-hot-hot-and-why-property-is-still.html 200?

FAQ's about this very special thread I spoke to one of the regular readers of Makati Prime, who also owns a flat at The Rise. Here was his reaction to what he sees so far "Wow. I can see this is going to be an Information rich thread... (Then, he asked some Questions...) What will Makati Prime do differently from other websites like OLX and Skycraper City? First of all, sites like OLX, SSC, Zipmatch and Rentpad etc, do a good job. Yes. We will have photos here, like SSC, but maybe not as many. And Yes, we will have listings too, like OLX etc. But the listings here may be very brief - the profile of The Rise will not have to be repeated in every listing - the details of the Rise and its location are provided above, there is no need to repeat them in each listing. A summary Seller's listing here can be as simple as this: SELLER's Unit: Type of Unit------ : Studiio, 1 BR?, 2BR? Asking Price---- : P ?.? Million (or whatever) Size in meters-- : 00.00 sqm Floor Level----- : Low (to 25/fl), Med. (26-39), High (40 and above) Wing/View desired: East, West, North Is there a mortgage?: Yes. No. (Am I missing anything?) Furthermore, I will encourage people to Talk about living or renting in the area - the good and bad aspects - and things that may make a particular floor or a particular view standout. Also, Makati Prime ("MP+") will accept listings from people who Who want to Buy flats in The Rise - this is something that other websites are not presently doing. Knowing there is an interested buyer out there with a specific interest in YOUR type of flat, may encourage those who are thinking about selling, to start a conversation." BUYER Interest: Type of Unit------ : Studiio, 1 BR?, 2BR? Maximum Price-- : P ?.? Million (or whatever) Preferred Floor- : ??/Fl, or above (or below) Wing/View desired: East, West, North How with the Marketplace function work? (still under development, more coming) A little background. I had the idea for this type of thread a long time ago. Some people have had the same experience as I did. You may have used the other websites, and found them valuable - but if you joined them and started posting information about market conditions, your questions and comments may have been shifted asides into other threads, or you may have found your posting privileges revoked. It was almost as if you would get banned as soon as the conversation became interesting. Why? The moderators on those other sites seem antagonized by questions like that, rather than understanding there was an opportunity being wasted. So there seems to be room for some new and different content on MP+. BTW, I will not encourage brokers to post here - I do not want multiple listings from people who are pushing-for-sale properties owned by others. OLX and Zipmatch, etc will do a better job with that than we can. I only want people posting on this thread who are seeking TO BUY for themselves, OR SELL flats that they personally own. Please respect that, and we can see a very good chat and useful marketplace develop here.

Initially, the role of the Bank’s foreign offices was to tap expanding Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) remittance business and to complement its corresponding branch network. == > http://www.pds.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Disclosure-No.-654-2015-Annual-Report-for-Fiscal-Year-Ended-December-31-2014-SEC-FORM-17-A.pdf

I thought of this... I suppose I can share it here They Found THE NUN ! The nun who was praying for The Donald It wasn't the the whole convent, just one of the troublesome ones - her name is Maria. How do u solve... "I hate to say it, but I firmly feel... she's not an asset to the Abbey!" "She's a headache! A will-o'the-wisp. A clown." Somehow, Hillary's orchestrated puppet-show nomination and election went awry. Reminds me of the following scene... The Lonely Goatherd (the prince-on-the-bridge puppet reminds of Bernie Sanders) Like the" oh-de-oh-la-ee" in the puppet show, Hillary's performance might have made people think: Hillary is an Old lady ... and someone in poor health

Thanks, but i have to admit that I borrow some of these ideas from others. One of my satirical videos did okay, but it appealed to a tiny audience - Does anyone recall these two?: The REAL Man of La Mancha : Ron Van Dyke ? ( April 4, 2014 ) / 2/ "Parodyman" / Prime Minister Don Quixote speaks: TITLES CONFER HUMOR ( Apr 11, 2014 ) I think the second one is more successful, and I may by now be getting a better idea of how to get the tone right after some practice on the thread here. . (I am genuinely less angry about some of these matters, and liking more the satirical approach) The problem with the mainstream political stuff is... it is yesterday's news before you can finish making a video. (I can barely get a post out with an "appropriate, non-PC" image within it while it is still topical I nearly made a video about Kathy G beheading herself (my idea), but it is already dated. The real stars at this stuff are lighning fast in their creativity. I am genuinely awed by them.

That's half the people who voted for Trump, and so maybe there are only 240million or so left for Hlllary to blame I suppose that means she can go on blaming people until the next election. But does anyone still think she is electable, and will anyone give her money to run again? Somehow, I doubt that
