Wasn’t it just a week ago that we of the non-MSM press was being raked over the coals for pointing out that the payment of $400 million to Iran was paying for hostages?
“Oh, no, no…” said the apologists for President Useless.
Yet now, here we have the Obama administration via stooges at State admitting to lying and yes it was ransom, and the liberal/lefties in the press are still tripping over themselves to say anything but one word:
RANSOM
Trust the MSM to bury this in coming hours. It runs counter to “the narrative” – which used to be “the story” which used to have “photo ops” instead of “optics” and other relabeling bull-shite to fog public thinking. By the way, it has worked.
Still…this pathological lawyering would get any other president impeached.
I don’t know if the American people have all be drugged (80% chance) or the liberalized school curriculum hasn’t taught them to think – more on this in this morning’s Coping section.
Every time I think about it, my blood pressure goes up.

Out on the Campaign Fail
Meantime, Donald Trump seems to be getting back in the game but there is a big asterisk next to him: Where are the tax returns?
Hillary has disclosed hers….or has she?
I’m gearing up for my liberal friends when they make an issue out of this.
I can hear it now: “ Why is Trump HIDING his tax returns…Hillary disclosed hers…”
Well, no, the way I figure it, Hillary has disclosed only part of her taxes.
I want the detailed returns on the Clinton Foundation for 2015…and who’s getting what out of that…then we can move on to other details.
Forbes noted in 2015 that the Clinton Foundation was re-filing a bunch of returns. The Foundation discussion is here.
Why no 2015 filing yet? Hmmm…side bet on whether that comes before or after the election?
But near as I can figure it (and post details if I have this wrong) but are the Clinton Tax returns disclosed so far amended or un-amended returns?
See: Even a slow-witted nut in the woods (hmmm, who might that be?) can figure this one:
Donald could disclose he paid 50% tax, for all it matters. And 6-11 months later file an amended return. You don’t think the other side’s lawyers haven’t figured this gambit?
Yes, voters are so stupid when comes to taxes, it makes my head spin. (either that or I’m hung over…)
If I were running? I’d File a tax return. Disclose the hell out of it. Then, once the press gobbles it up, file an amended return next year after the election -=- well after the fact. And, should anyone ask the crookidate quickly answers “Oh, I already disclosed my taxes…”
No one asks about amended filings, after the office is snagged.
No one of the me-too press today asks about amended returns. You see, that is how stoopid the press is these days. Sycophants and losers by and large. Incapable of original thought. Unable to ask “How will crooked candidates screw us next?”
I’m here to help. File, Publicize, Amend. How hard is this to get?
Too much time on personal branding and pancake, not enough hitting the books and covering real news, you think?
This is how lawyers think – and talk. And do. Unto us.
Pappy used to tell the story of a couple of North Dakota lawyers who were out walking a field on a cloudy, foggy day winter’s day.
While they stood there, a balloon came down out of the clouds.
“Where are we?” yelled the distressed and quite lost pilot of the balloon.
One of the men on the ground sized up their predicament and yelled back “You’re in a balloon!”
The pilot, exasperated, turned to his passengers.
“Those are Dakota Lawyers..”
“How do you know they’re Dakota lawyers?” asked a frightened passenger
“Well, they told us the truth, but it isn’t doing us a damn bit of good.”
As thus, ends this morning’s sermon on how lawyers really work, Amen. Whether from the Dakotas, Chicago, or Arkysaw. Let me hear a hallelujah!.
Now, if you all turn to the Book of Accounts, Chapter 3, Verse 21….
Oh…Hil is now trying to pawn off email-gate on Colin Powel… what Ures truly wants to know is this: Where is BLM on this? Are they going to rally to Powell’s defence as Hil turns Powell into an un-armed victim? Naw…
Back to the Futures
Market is going to open down 50.
Why?
This is options day.
Well, the commercials are going to beat-down the equity option-holder gains that come with record prices. market will rally next week. Maybe even toward the close today.
Date of average annual high runs about August 26th, or so. High in 1929 was September 3rd, if memory serves.
Free Money for the Election?
Look at the latest Federal Reserve puffery of the money supply to pimp things out for the dems…check this out:
I feel like a Nobel-winning economist when I tell you: With the Fed puffing M1 up nearly 10% don’t you think at least SOME of that will leak into stocks and bonds?
Duh.
More to come, though, since my lazy man’s check of how loose money is happens to be BTC’s – now $572 down from the 700’s.
New BTC projections for Peoplenomics readers Saturday along with our expose on “Monetizing Your Butt.” We do get to have some fun around here.
News What Matters
If you drove for Uber once upon a time: Judge rejects $100 million settlement between Uber and drivers.
CNBC list of travel hacks over here is good.

WTF – and want to bet who appointed them?
The internet is a great stress reliever for those who want to be heard – it is also irrelevant to the government.
In our youth, when we were upset, we marched or wrote letters or boycotted or went on strike. Today’s youth make a F%_kbook posting or send a nasty Tweet that would never have been published in a newspaper. Then they feel better inside for venting, and their peers can validate their feelings – incident mostly over and nobody organizes because they never meet personally.
I think Gender Unicornism is just another neutering of men mostly, and a confusing of women. It feeds into the whole Social Justice Whimperer thing. But this only seems to live on the internet, in Tweet-land and on university campuses.
Universities, where in earlier generations people united and protested against government stupidity had their teeth pulled when Tweeting overtook protesting. After all, protesting is the herd being heard. Tweeting is the individual being heard by millions – but it is also harmless because they never unite!
Why does the government and lately Hillary so object to conservative point of view websites, if as you say “it is also irrelevant to the government.”
There was a video of a CNN reporter accidentally admitting (on a hot MIC) that the government paid them to file this report. After CNN getting caught doing this for a foreign government, this wouldnt surprise me.
If I were Trump, I’d insist Hillary release her (real) medical records FIRST, and explain why she’s being followed around by a guy with a diazepam pen.
One other thing: In “Hunt for Red October” an admiral said, “Russians don’t take a dump, son, without a plan.” Similarly, governments don’t do things without a master plan or goal.

So this may be a test of government action plan in this country when all the debt begins circling and looking for payment.
the masses have been unknowingly and slowly drugged into submission (water they drink, food they eat, vaccines they subject themselves to, big pharma drugs they take). But, for those who have not or do not, I fear that there is a good percentage who know the truths but, because of the overwhelming size of the ‘problem/s’, don’t know where or how to fix/change things.
And with Big Brother keeping eyes on all (think about it – in the big cities – there are surveillance cameras on just about every street corner and building top), and the listening to cell phone conversations, people have become hesitant to speak out (even on the internet things can be traced to individuals).
I think the goal is to drug and fear everyone into submission…but oh so gradually that the masses don’t fully realize the extent and depth of it all.
And people who do speak out – who speak the truths in attempt to get others to understand and see – those people will continue to do so, but, the receiving audiences will keep decreasing. Eventually it will become a 95/5% split with the 5% of truthers being seen as the wack jobs of the world.
1984; time to read it again.
Remember the quote from the CIA spook who said back in the 60’s
“We do not need mind control devices , we have TEE VEE “
Two things…When people buy houses, they have to disclose all of their financial records dating 2-3 years back depending on the lender. Their credit score is scrutinized, their W-2’s, 1040’s and proof of savings and liquid assets are carefully studied…Yet, the potential leader of the free world gets a free pass on his credit worthiness, and financial records? And defies tradition by denouncing the practice? And emails are your issue with one of the candidates? The dumbing down is complete in Trumpland.
Second…I agree with your assessment on gender issues. It is curiously being pushed on us…but is it just gender bending or tolerance that is being marketed. The tolerance of all races, , gender, LGBT, religion, etc., are all issues that face us today. Too much hate in the world…we do need more tolerance.
“WE” need to stay out of each others heads and let everyone think and feel what they want. I’m sick of this crap of we need to like each other and hold hands let’s just pay our debt feed pur kids and mind our own beeswax
who cares about tax returns , where are the birth certificate..(s)..?

I’ve had this County Joe and the Fish song in my head since I graduated HS and went on my first all expense paid trip overseas, about as relevant now as then.
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.
Why do I care about Trump’s tax returns? Frankly, I don’t. If it’s about his charity giving, Trump has a history of helping individuals without fanfare. I doubt that it even shows up on his tax returns. Could it be his accountants know how to take advantage of the loopholes to the point he pays less than what the Left considers his “fair” share? Good for him if so. Our tax code is ridiculously complicated and unfair. I have small home business and the variables are unbelievably, uncountable. Sure I could use Quicken. But the difference between my use of software and my accountant’s experience saved me $7000 in taxes last year. To get that experience he charges $180/month. That is just wrong. Good on Trump.
He pledges but never gives to charities. He has no history of helping anyone but himself. There are more sinister reasons why he will not release his tax returns…and it has nothing to do with the your so called leftist media. It has to do with possible treason and money laundering. He is just another elitist wanna-be running for office. The only difference is that he has the brain of a half witted slug. All you Trump supporters (most of whose reside in poor red states) must have guzzled some real toxic brain damaging moonshine to allow this nitwit get this far.
