Are the President’s words from his State of the Union address starting to come true? If so, will this provide the right amount of political cover for the Pres to blame a slowing economy/stock market on the Dems, the Fed, and China? Recall, it was endless wars, political divisiveness, and partisan investigations that Trump mentioned back in February that could derail the economy. Since then he’s added to the mix: the Fed, and now with trade talks in flux, he can blame China. Also, the House Judiciary Committee has voted along party lines, to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress. A full vote will then be taken up before Congress.
The Dems are grasping at air as the tables are turning as the Trump Admin is set to investigate the investigators. The Dems know exactly where this is headed and they don’t like it – so talks of impeachment are back in the news. Meanwhile, new comments from US trade reps signal that tariffs will be increased on Chinese products this week – continuing the global market sell-off.
Whether, it’s the contempt of Congress hearing this week regarding AG Barr, the US/China trade talks with Pres Tariff Man threating new and higher tariffs, a “compromise” with Brexit negotiations, or increasing tensions in Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea, this week is surely to be one filled with lots of news and drama.

So the Dems are at it again, calling the AG a criminal for “lying to Congress” and now the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler, is giving the AG a deadline to release the entire un-redacted Mueller report or face the possibility of being held in contempt of Congress. Ain’t it a great time to be alive?! – oh the politics! We also discuss the jobs report that blew through expectations, but upon a deeper look, things don’t look so great. Are we living in a fool’s economic paradise?

Recalling the State of the Union Address from this year, President Trump informed us as to a few items that could derail the “economic miracle.” These items are playing out: endless wars, as the Venezuelan crisis heats up, political divisiveness, and further partisan investigations into Trump. In addition, we also have the Pres playing games with the Fed. The Pres will take all the credit for the “good,” but is setting the stage to lay the blame for all the “bad” on the Dems and the Fed. Meanwhile, AG Bill Barr was a no-show for his hearing before the House Judiciary Committee and now there are calls for his resignation and for him to be held in contempt.
The circus is in town and it ain’t leaving any time soon. The AG was up on Capitol Hill providing testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the findings of the Mueller investigation. Well it was a complete partisan show where the Republicans were asking structural questions regarding election interference; meanwhile, the Dems were all about obstruction of justice. The Dems are clinging to hope that they can hurt the President when it comes to obstruction of justice – it won’t work. Also, a brief update to yesterday’s discussion surrounding the Fed and the economy.
Deputy AG, Rod Rosenstein tendered his resignation and will be leaving the Justice Department on May 11th. Is this part of a larger clean-up within the DOJ and will AG Bill Barr begin investigating the investigators? Meanwhile, Sleepy Joe Biden has poor messaging and he’s only just begun. Also, a brief update to the Brexit saga.
Well it’s official, Joe Biden is a contender in the 2020 campaign. He couldn’t stay away and thinks that the country is losing its soul and of course Joe thinks he has the cure – we doubt it. Meanwhile, the Pres is out there on Twitter and the news saying that it’s time to Drain the Swamp. Does this mean that there are and/or will be investigations into the deep state?
According to Hillary Clinton, anyone who did what Pres Trump did regarding obstructing justice, would have been indicted. Oh, really Hillary? Then how do you explain destroying 33,000 emails after being subpoenaed and smashing Black-Berries with hammers? Also, an update on a previous story and the lunatics of 2020 want inmates to vote – yes, really.
Only a few days in the hands of the public and the MSM and some Dems are continuing or renewing their calls for impeachment. This story, plus additional investigations of the Pres will take center-stage for the months ahead. There is also discussion of student debt forgiveness and free college tuition – yeah, we saw this coming. Don’t worry, we dismantle the argument and we didn’t even scratch the surface.
