Why isn't this scaring anybody?

The US trade gap with the rest of the world jumped to a 10-year high of $621bn (£472.5bn) last year, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump's deficit reduction plan.

The trade deficit is the difference between how much goods and services the US imports from other countries and how much it exports.

Reducing the gap is a key plank of Mr Trump's policies.

But in 2018, the US exported fewer goods compared with how much it bought.

Mr Trump claims that the US is being "ripped off" by other nations and wants countries to lower their tariffs on US goods and buy more of them.

However, official data shows that while exports of US goods and services rose by $148.9bn last year, imports jumped by $217.7bn.

It means that the gap is the widest since 2008, when the global financial crisis hit and the US fell into recession.

This is precisely the correct level of energy and intellectual engagement that should be devoted to arguing with this, and a couple of other posters.

Yeah, I got a kick out of that. Next best thing to totally ignoring them.

Justin Trudeau has rigged political advertising rules

Andrew Lawton of True North explains how Google's refusal to allow political advertising for Canada's upcoming election proves that Justin Trudeau has rigged the political advertising laws to benefit his Liberal government.

While political parties and candidates won't be able to advertise on Google platforms, the government will.

This week is the worst week in 2019 for the Dow.

Democrats DELAY ‘reprimand’ of Ilhan Omar so they can water it down even more…

Democrats have now delayed the resolution to at least Thursday, as the party’s House leadership works to reword the statement to include other forms of bigotry – all while facing pressure from progressive Democrats who are defending Omar, Politico reported.

As Democrats Normalize Anti-Semitism, a Jexodus Momentum is Building

he Progressive Caucus is standing by her. As is the Congressional Black Caucus, which has met with Farrakhan, and has its own issues with anti-Semitism. Look for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and some of her cohort, which have defended Omar's anti-Semitism, to start claiming the heads of some of her Jewish critics, like Rep. Engel, as the Corbynization of the Democrats get underway.

The Corbynization of the Democrats will leave Jews with few options as the party turns not only anti-Israel, but overly anti-Semitic, as Corbyn's Labour has. And it's important to note that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her DSA mothership are Corbyn allies.

When the process is properly underway, only the most radical leftists of Jewish origin, who are willing to work non-stop to defend anti-Semites, will be able to remain in the party.

Meanwhile the Jexodus momentum is slowly building. The process is partly generational. It will decisively split millennials between Jewish and leftist allegiances. There will be plenty of leftists with Jewish last names vocally defending the DNC's anti-Semitism, but they will not consider themselves Jewish, except where briefly politically convenient, whose those who identify as Jewish will leave.

This will be a slow and ugly process. Jexodus would make it quicker. It's the difference between leaving Egypt and having to be expelled.

Exile is a difficult condition. Some seek to escape it. Others desperately cling to it and have to be physically expelled from it. There is no future for the Jews on the Left. History amply testifies to that from the Soviet Union to Latin America. The Jexodus is inevitable. The question is whether it will be an honorable and dignified departure, or a cringing expulsion.

DNC Blacklisting Of Fox News Proves GOP Needs To Fight Media

In recent years:

NBC sat on evidence exonerating Justice Brett Kavanaugh, discrediting Michael Avenatti and his clients’ accusations.
CBS published false documents to smear President George W. Bush.
CNN fed debate questions to Hillary Clinton before a presidential debate.
ABC helped Democrats launch their “war on women” campaign strategy in 2012.
And CNN attacked Mitt Romney during a debate when he said true things about the Benghazi terror attack.

The candidates could get asked a question they are not supposed to be asked. It's show time. These debates will be planned, if not scripted.

Although Kavanaugh is a judge, he is still a bad drunk, everybody knows that.

Although Avenatti got his 5 minutes of fame, he's still a sleaze, everybody knows that.

Although debate questions were fed to Clinton, they were also fed to Trump, everybody knows that.

Although there is a "war on women", there is still is much work towards equality to be done.

And although Romney said true things about Benghazi, there's still plenty of blame to go around.

Has anyone noticed....

All these things stopped spinning awhile ago.
