Trump: “I Hope Russia Has All 33,000 Emails That Hillary Deleted”

In yet another statement that is certain to spark outrage among Democrats, moments ago Donald Trump said he hopes that Russian hackers accused of breaching the DNC have obtained the tens of thousands of emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her private email server. 

“If they hacked, they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday at a press conference at his Miami-area hotel.

“They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted. You’d see some beauties, so we’ll see.”

He went on to address Russia directly: “Russia, if you are listening,” he said, “I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by the press.”

He also said that the Russia-DNC hacking allegations are a “total deflection” from the scandal plaguing the Democratic party.

He then repeated what he has said previously, namely that “I have nothing to do with Russia.”

Trump made it clear that there would most likely never be any damning revelations into his own email usage as he “almost never sends emails” as he is just not a believer in the medium.

Finally, when responding to a question whether he’d threat Putin as an adversary or an ally, he said he would rather be friendly with Russia so “we could knock out ISIS with other people. Wouldn’t it be nice if we got along with Russia”

The U.S. Presidential Election is a Mess – Thank Goodness! 


Written by Nathan McDonald (CLICK FOR ORIGINAL)
 

 


 

Let’s put in bluntly: the United States Presidential election campaign is a complete and utter mess. We are looking a country that is deeply divided on key and fundamental differences. We are looking at two potential leaders that stand in stark difference to one another and are attracting very different supporters because of this. Thank God!

 

Finally, we are seeing a campaign that is different. Finally, we are seeing an election cycle that your vote will make a difference. In the past, any Presidential candidate you voted for was typically controlled by the same financial elite pulling their strings. They have been the puppet masters behind the scenes for decades.

 

Arguably, we have not seen a real President of the United States since the era of Reagan, and even he was made to step in line after his botched assassination attempt.

 

Unfortunately, it is not all peaches and cream. Hillary Clinton is the still the establishment’s candidate. This cannot be argued. All one must do is look at the utter and complete corruption that surrounds her and the massive flows of money from financial institutions pouring into her coffers.

 

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is finding that support among the elite and the old Republican establishment is barely forthcoming, if at all. Not only this, he has been demonized by the mainstream media like no other Presidential candidate in the past. These two points are reason enough to vote for him, and to tell you that he is not controlled by the establishment. These two points give me incredible faith for the future of the United States and its people.

 

The mass majority agrees that the West is in a horrible position. The economic crisis of 2008 has stagnated and we are due for another monster correction in our future. Terrorism has encroached on our once-peaceful lives, and is now a daily event and people are getting sick and tired of the over the top politically correct culture that has taken root.

 

The proof is all around you. People are breaking out of the false realities built for them – they are growing backbones and are asking for – no, DEMANDING – change. Not the false Obama change that was rammed down the people’s throats, but real, foundation-shaking change.

 

This is exactly why the establishment was so scared of the Bernie Sanders revolution and is now frightened to death of the Donald Trump movement. These candidates, along with the recent successful vote of Brexit, show that the pendulum of power in the West is swinging back towards the people and it is about time.

 

Hillary Clinton at this time of writing is now short by 7 points in a recent general election poll. Even with all the nonsense and corruption that exist in the system, Donald Trump’s momentum cannot be stopped. This trend is going to continue, and you better get used to saying “President Donald Trump”, whether you like it or not, for it will be a reality before you know it.

 

To that I say, about time.

US government pays $475,000 for illegally searching woman’s vagina

Have you lost that loving feeling? If so, the United States federal government might just be able to help.

Before you swipe right on Tinder or update that eHarmony account, consider instead taking a quick trip out of the country.

Because on your way back home into the Land of the Free, US Customs and Border Protection will have agents standing by ready with heaps of government stimulus.

It happened to a Jane Doe (the name has been withheld to protect what little remains of her dignity), a 54-year old US citizen who had recently been on a trip to Mexico.

As she was returning home via the Cordova Bridge border crossing in El Paso, she was randomly selected for extra special screening and escorted to a private area.

I’ve been there. It’s not fun. They don’t tell you anything, and they don’t say why.

They act very aggressively and start barking orders at you as if you’re already a prison inmate.

Quite frequently you can sit there wasting away for hours. Fortunately for me, nothing particularly sinister ever happened. For Ms. Doe, it was quite the opposite.

According to the published case files, she was frisked, and then ordered to squat so that a drug-sniffing dog could check out her nether regions.

Apparently the dog liked what he smelled, because Ms. Doe was then taken to yet another room, ordered to pull down her pants, and crouch.

At that point an agent from Customs and Border Protection “inspected her anus with a flashlight.”

She was then ordered to lean backwards in a crouched position, after which another agent inserted a speculum into her vagina to search for drugs.

Another agent then “parted Ms. Doe’s vulva with her hand, pressed her fingers into Ms. Doe’s vagina, and visually examined her genitalia with a flashlight.”

They then took her to a hospital for a further 6 hours of involuntary testing, which included forcing her to have a bowel movement as they all watched, plus X-rays, CT scans, and more.

I know what you’re thinking– they probably found a treasure trove of cocaine and methamphetamine shoved deep inside Ms. Doe’s womanhood.

Except they didn’t.

Ms. Doe was “brutally probed against her will” for hours and hours without judicial oversight, due process, or even reasonable suspicion. And they found nothing.

Here’s the really disgusting part: at the end of this ordeal, they released her without charge… with one catch.

They told her that if she signed a consent form, retroactively giving her permission to be abused and violated, that the government would pay for all the tests and various medical expenses.

But if she didn’t sign the consent form, she’d have to pay for them all herself.

Ms. Doe refused to sign, and the United States government sent her a bill for more than $5,000, essentially demanding that she pay for her own sexual assault.

Emotionally shattered she went home feeling like a rape victim. She sued.

And, as the pitiful justice system in the Land of the Free is far from swift, it took over three years for the case to gain any traction.

Finally, as of a few days ago, the case has been settled. And the US government agreed to pay Ms. Doe $475,000.

But as you can imagine, there were strings attached, specifically that the settlement should “not be taken as an admission of liability or fault.”

I guess it’s Ms. Doe’s fault. She must have been asking for it. It’s like a classic rape story from the 1950s. Absolutely appalling.

But just think about what this means–

Gun-toting government thugs are running around committing sexual assault on US citizens so they can continue waging a costly and utterly ridiculous war on plants.

Apparently doing so is quite typical. So typical, in fact, that they have a consent form ready to be signed by their gang rape victims in the hopes of keeping it quiet.

And even if it doesn’t stay quiet and one of the victims goes public, the government refuses to admit its own culpability and pays them off with taxpayer funds.

Just think about that: YOUR tax money is going to pay off the US government’s sexual assault victims.

This is so disgusting, so vile… I would ask you just one simple question: have you reached your breaking point yet?

A Psychiatric Diagnosis Of The U.S. ‘Market’

Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

Schizophrenic Disconnect From Reality, Bipolar Mania, Psychotic Delusions of Wealth

If you think a delusional market is healthy, it's time for a psychiatric exam.

What diagnosis would an experienced psychiatrist offer when presented with the bizarre behavior of the U.S. stock market? We assume that the wild mood swings of greed and fear are "normal" for markets devoted to short-term profit and speculation, but the stock market's disconnect from reality is far beyond mere mood swings.

The stock market thinks it's solidly on pavement, but in reality it's like a car flying off a cliff: the Wiley E. Coyote moment is just ahead. There's nothing but air beneath the stock market.

Consider the reality of PE expansion from a price-earnings (PE) of 10 at the bottom in 2009 to 18+ today, while profits are stagnant. And what is driving this expansion other than a delusional belief that profits will magically reverse and log massive gains in the second half of 2016?

If we strip out "one-time expenses" and other accounting flim-flam, profits are plummeting. How else can we characterize this disconnect between stagnant sales (look at Apple, CAT, etc.) and "profits" that are one step away from outright fraud as anything other than delusional?

As global trade, U.S. rail traffic and other non-gameable measures of economic activity stagnate or decline, how can anyone connected to reality expect sales and profits to rise sharply?

The stock market is hitting new highs for what reason? The typical answer is: more central bank stimulus is on the way, the Fed/ BoJ /Bank of China/ European Central Bank have our back, etc. etc. etc.

But the reality is obvious to all: the returns on central bank stimulus have declined to near-zero. Trillions in additional stimulus are needed to just keep the delusional markets from experiencing gravity (see car photo above).

And how about the manic mood swings from panic in February (i.e. a whiff of reality) and the euphoria of new highs in summer? If this isn't the acme of bipolar delusion, then what is?

Perhaps the greatest delusion is the confidence that this ephemeral bubble "wealth" is actual wealth that can be counted on to fund pensions and insurance claims in the future. Pity the deranged souls who actually believe that stock gains based on fraudulent claims of "profit" and delusional expectations of rising profits as the dollar strengthens and the global economy implodes are "wealth" that can be considered permanent.

The only possible diagnosis of this stock market behavior:

1. Patient (the U.S. stock market) is suffering a schizophrenic disconnect from reality.

 

2. Patient (the U.S. stock market) is suffering from bipolar mania that leads to delusional beliefs in delusional profits and delusional central bank omnipotence.

 

3. Patient is suffering from psychotic delusions of wealth, akin to the delusion that the patient is ruler of the world, galaxy, universe, central banks are all-powerful, etc.

If you think a delusional market is healthy, it's time for a psychiatric exam.

Oil Crashes On Surprise Inventory Build, Production Rise

Despite last night's API-reported surge in Cushing inventories, oil futures surged into this morning's DOE data on the heels of terrible durable goods data. However, a shocking build in overall crude levels (+1.67mm vs -2mm) breaking crude's record 9-week streak of draws, sent crude prices reeling. Cushing also saw a major build as did Gasoline and production rose for the 3rd week in a row.

API

  • Crude -827k (-2mm exp)
  • Cushing +1.4mm (+750k exp)
  • Gasoline -420k
  • Distillates +292k

DOE

  • Crude  +1.67mm (-2mm exp)
  • Cushing +1.11mm (+750k exp)
  • Gasoline +452k
  • Distillates -780k

This week's crude build ends the 9-week drop in overall crude inventories in a row… the longest streak of declines in US history (since 1982 Bloomberg EIA data – 8 week streaks in June 2015, Jan 2008, Sept 2004, Sept 1998)

 

Crude production rose for the 3rd week in a row…

 

Most troubling, however, remains the unprecedented surge in gasoline stocks confirming that demand for the product is just not there.  As the chart below shows, gasoline stocks rose 0.5 million bbls last week to 241Mm bbl and is now 11.8% higher than last year.

Shown another way, gasoline stocks are now 25.5 million bbls vs 2015.

 

And even worse, as we warned one month ago, the PADD1 situation is now unprecedented, with a record 72.5 million barrels stored on the east coast.

And after ramping this morning  – despite API's data – Crude prices are crashing after the surprise build…

 

“The perception of the API data shows that the market is looking at the bearish news and ignoring the bullish ones,” says Carsten Fritsch, commodity analyst at Commerzbank.

Tracking last year's pump-and-dump of hope perfectly.

 

As demand is set to tumble…

Reagan Shooter John Hinckley Jr Released, Will Live With His Mother

34 years after trying to assasinate Ronald Reagan in 1981, John Hinckley, Jr will be released from a psychiatric hospital and allowed to live with his mother in Virginia.

On Wednesday, a federal judge granted John Hinckley, Jr., the man who shot President Ronald Reagan, full-time release from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he has been in treatment since the shooting. Judge Paul L. Friedman delivered the ruling Wednesday, granting him full time convalescent leave to begin no sooner than Aug. 5.

According to the WSJ, the 103-page order from U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman said Mr. Hinckley’s doctors have found he has “no signs of psychotic symptoms, delusional thinking, or any violent tendencies,’’ and therefore “presents no danger to himself or to others in the reasonable future if released.” The ruling means that 34 years after an attack that severely wounded the president and three others, Mr. Hinckley will be a free man—albeit with restrictions on his travel, communications, work and use of the internet. 

Hinckley, 61, was committed to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C. Over the past 12 years, his doctors and the courts have been gradually loosening his restrictions, over objections from the Justice Department, allowing him to go to Williamsburg, Va., for unsupervised visits with his family more than 80 times.

Now Hinckley will be allowed to live with his mother there, provided he still has regular medical and social-work checkups, works or volunteers at least three days a week and adheres to limits on his travel and communication. The judge’s order also specifically bars Mr. Hinckley or his family from talking to reporters.

He’s already been spending 17 days per month at his mother’s home since federal judge Paul Friedman granted him partial leave from the hospital in 2013. CBS News’ Reid reports the conditions of Hinckley’s release are incredibly detailed and strict, which is a big win for the U.S. government. While the requirements focus mostly on continued mental health treatment, Hinckley’s lawyer had been arguing for minimal conditions to make it less likely he will be found in non-compliance.

Some of the conditions of his release include:

  • He must carry a GPS enabled phone whenever he is away from his mother’s home, but no tracking devices need to be installed in his cars. He must notify his treatment team before going to any private residences.
  • He must travel to D.C. once a month for mental health treatment. His must provide detailed information about his travel to D.C. including his specific route and time of departure, but he can travel by himself. If he is delayed by more than 30 minutes, he needs to notify his treatment team.
  • He must have weekly phone calls with his health care professionals as well as individual and group therapy in Williamsburg. He also does monthly music therapy sessions. He has expressed an interest in recording an album.
  • He is expected to find a volunteer position or a job which must be approved by his mental health team.
  • He cannot speak with media. Any media contact by him or his family will constitute a violation of his release.
  • No drugs, no weapons.
  • No contact with the family members of his victims, which include the Reagan family, Brady family, Thomas Delahanty or Timothy McCarthy.
  • He cannot travel to areas where current or former presidents, Congress or senior executives or “United States Secret Service protectees” are found.
  • He can use the internet but cannot Google himself, research weapons, porn, or his victims.
  • He may not set-up any social media accounts without unanimous permission from his treatment team.
  • He must live with his mother in Williamsburg for the first-year of his full-time release and after that, following an assessment by his team, he may reside alone or with roommates within a 30 mile radius of Williamsburg

He is also forbidden from trying to contact his victims or any of their relatives or descendants, and he is barred from trying to contact the actress Jodie Foster or her family. At the time of the Reagan shooting, Hinckley was obsessed with Ms. Foster and hoped the assassination would impress her.

On March 30, 1981, Hinckley opened fire outside a Washington, D.C. hotel as then-President Reagan was exiting the building after a speech. One of the bullets punctured the president’s lung and barely missed his heart. Another left then-White House press secretary James Brady paralyzed from the waist down.

In a letter the would-be assassin sent before the shooting, Hinckley confessed his bizarre motive to Jodie Foster, whom he’d been stalking for months.

“The reason I’m going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you,” he wrote. “This letter is being written only an hour before I leave for the Hilton Hotel. Jodie, I’m asking you to please look into your heart and at least give the chance, with this historical deed, to gain your love and respect.”

Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He is now, supposedly, sane and no longer a threat to republican presidents… or presidential candidates.

Pending Home Sales Disappoint, Realtors Fear Unhealthy Price Appreciation

Following New Home Sales rebound to their highest since 2008, amid record high prices, Pending Home Sales disappointed with a mere 0.2% MoM rise (versus +1.2% expectations) showing very little bounce off May’s tumble. Northeast sales saved the day with a 3.2% surge but The South and West both continued to slide. As NAR’s Larry Yun noted however: “home prices are showing little evidence of slowing to a healthier pace that more closely mirrors wage and income growth.”

Diverging fortunes…

 

Regional breakdown suggests price is starting to have an impact:

  • Northeast up 3.2%; May fell 5.3%
  • Midwest up 0.8%; May fell 4.2%
  • South fell 0.6%; May fell 3.1%
  • West fell 1.3%; May fell 3.4%

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says a solid bump in activity in the Northeast pulled up pending sales modestly in June.

“With only the Northeast region having an adequate supply of homes for sale, the reoccurring dilemma of strained supply causing a run-up in home prices continues to play out in several markets, leading to the last two months reflecting a slight, early summer cooldown after a very active spring,” he said. “Unfortunately for prospective buyers trying to take advantage of exceptionally low mortgage rates, housing inventory at the end of last month was down almost 6 percent from a year ago, and home prices are showing little evidence of slowing to a healthier pace that more closely mirrors wage and income growth.

 

Adds Yun, “Until inventory conditions markedly improve, far too many prospective buyers are likely to run into situations of either being priced out of the market or outbid on the very few properties available for sale.”

As Bloomberg summarizes, the leveling off in pending home sales comes on the heels of reports showing existing-home sales jumped in June to its highest level since 2007 and the strongest new-home demand in eight years. The Realtor’s group said last week that sales have probably peaked for the year as prospective buyers don’t have enough homes from which to choose, forcing up property values. That’s mitigated the positive influence of mortgage rates that are close to record lows. Keep an eye on the pending home sales figure, since buyer traffic has slowed in recent weeks, the real-estate agents’ group said last week.

Kremlin Slams Accusations Of Democratic Party Hack As “Made-Up Horror Stories”

One day after Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov gave the first Russian response to allegations that Moscow was behind the DNC server hack when he said I don’t want to use four letter words” to a media question if Putin was responsible,  on  Wednesday the Kremlin reiterated Russia’s position when it dismissed allegations Russia had hacked Democratic Party emails as “made up horror stories” dreamt up by U.S. politicians, saying it never interfered in other countries’ election campaigns.

“Moscow is at pains to avoid any words that could be interpreted as direct or indirect interference in the election process,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters cited by Reuters.

“… We see that the Russian card is in the red corner on the writing table of all Washington politicians during the election campaign, and that very often they make it a trump card in their game.”

Peskov was responding after U.S. President Barack Obama in an interview with NBC News said it was possible Russia would try to influence the U.S. presidential election after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that experts have blamed on Russian hackers.

“This reminds me of a company where they tell each other horror stories and then start being frightened of their own stories,” said Peskov. The Kremlin on Tuesday said unidentified individuals in the United States were trying to cynically exploit fear of Russia for electoral purposes.

Individuals perhaps such as this one. In an interview on NBC, President Barack Obama said it was possible that Russia would try to influence the U.S. presidential election.

“Anything is possible,” Obama told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Tuesday when asked if the Russians would try to influence the Nov. 8 election.

Obama said the Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating the leak on Friday of more than 19,000 DNC emails, which showed the committee had favored Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders for the party’s presidential nomination.

“I know that experts have attributed this to the Russians,” Obama said reiterating the rather Once again the “experts” phrasing.

“What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems, not just government systems but private systems,” he said.

The email leak forced Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida to resign as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

Clinton, who received the Democratic nomination on Tuesday at the party’s convention in Philadelphia, will face Republican Donald Trump in the election.

“What the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that, I can’t say directly. What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin,” Obama said.

Trump has often praised Putin, calling him a “strong leader.” The New York businessman also told the New York Times last week that with him in the White House, NATO might not automatically defend the Baltic states that were once part of the Russian-led Soviet Union.

“I think that Trump has gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia,” Obama said.

Meanwhile, this was Trump’s take:
