what would the writer consider a significant deal

Checks from Pollutico, Soros, the DNC...

[From her tweet:

“China will not be able to avoid being dragged into a war over Soleimani’s assassination”

I’m no foreign policy expert but that sounds a little crazy.]

She may mean as a donor and supplier. China sent North Vietnam huge amounts of equipment and ammo gratis all through the collapse of Saigon in 1975. And this was when China’s economy was a fraction of its present size.

Regardless of what he accomplishes it will be belittled and demeaned. Absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

“Trump breathes just to deflect from impeachment!”

These people get sicker every day

[DIRTYSECRET]

This ‘modest’ agreement was worth $13k to me in the last week alone.

[Maskot]

Awesome! But, are you white??? According to the left, you are racist and prolly have to give it back. You know, to “the greater good” (POC of course)

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’m half white so I’ll give back half.

“Trumportunities.”

It is the idea that, whether by accident or design, Trump creates chances to solve long-running international problems that a conventional leader would not.

His bellicose isolationist agenda, for instance, might already be forcing Europe to confront its geopolitical weakness;

China, its need for a lasting economic settlement with the U.S.;

Countries throughout the Middle East, the limits of their power.

The president’s erratic behavior might be doing something else as well, something even more fundamental. Through a combination of instinct, temperament, and capriciousness, Trump may be reminding the world of the reality of international relations:

Raw military and economic power still matter more than anything else—so long as those who hold them are prepared to use them.

A term has been coined to describe this notion:

Ryan Evans of War on the Rocks calls them “Trumportunities.”

From yesterday:

Politico changed its original headline about the bill's passage from "Senate passes USMCA in major win for Trump" to "Senate passes USMCA, but much work remains."

Fake news. Total propaganda for the Democrats.

My wife sometimes grimaces at what President Trump says and does.

I'm 81 and she is rapidly heading to 80. Our IRA's enables my small retirement and our SS to give us a fairly good life. We share those gains with our Church, the Salvation Army and grand kids.

This week we got our annual IRA printout from Fido. In spite of some hefty mandatory monthly withdrawals, Our Year End increases were significant.

My wife wanted to know what I did. I said nothing. This is the result of President Trump. She said oh. Then, she texted her SIL's to see how their IRA's did last year in spite of their mandatory monthly withdrawals. They had the same results.

Then, I texted one of our adult sons and his two cousins. They are hard working and well paid Blue Collar guys, paying big taxes and smart enough to max out their IRA's or 401k's.

Their returns, including YTD this year are like yours, soaring like rockets.

Their secret to get these returns, simple market index funds their companies' 401 K plans offer.

They are silent Deploreables and gun owners.
