US Consumer Confidence Rises to 18-Year High

AND THE TRUMP WINS KEEP ON COMING …

As reported by the AP, United States consumer confidence rose to an 18 year high to 133.4 in August. The Donald Trump wins keep on coming America. But of course the LEFT, Democrats, Never-Trumpers and liberal media would credit Obama for this. Mo matter whether you like him or not or disapprove of his tweets or not, President Donald Trump is good for America, Just off the successful negotiation of NAFTA with Mexico in creating a more favorable trade deal for the US, an ever-rising stock markets setting new highs, comes this great economic news.

Americans’ consumer confidence rose in August to the highest level in nearly 18 years as their assessment of current conditions improved further and their expectations about the future rebounded.

The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 133.4 in August, up from a reading 127.9 in July. It was the highest reading since confidence stood at 135.8 in October 2000.

Consumers’ confidence in their ability to get a job and the overall economy are seen as important indicators of how freely they will spend, especially on big-ticket items such as cars, in coming months. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

AMERICA, YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN END ALL THIS WINNING, BY HANDING THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO THE DEMOCRATS. Think about that this coming midterm election before you vote. Do you want to continue the successes under Trump, or do you want it all wiped away and go back to the Obama economy and food stamps?

SARA CARTER: Pentagon Whistleblower Exposes Trump Campaign Spy Stefan Halper as Key Player in FBI Russia Probe: “It Was All a Set-Up”

IT IS ALL COMING A PART AND IT IS AS CORRUPT AND DIRTY AS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN … THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

From Sara Carter comes the following bombshell, Adam Lovinger, a former Defense Department analyst stumbled upon the deep state’s hideous operation against the Trump campaign …  “It Was All a Set-Up”. Informant Stefan Halper was paid a total of $411,575 in 2016 and 2017 for work with the US government that included spying on the Trump campaign. Folks, this is as bad as corruption, conspiracy and high crimes as it gets in the United States. This cannot ever be allowed to go unpunished.

Adam Lovinger, a former Defense Department analyst, never expected that what he stumbled on during his final months at the Pentagon would expose an integral player in the FBI’s handling of President Donald Trump’s campaign and alleged Russia collusion.

Lovinger, a whistleblower, is now battling to save his career. The Pentagon suspended his top-secret security clearance May 1, 2017, when he exposed through an internal review that Stefan Halper, who was then an emeritus Cambridge professor, had received roughly $1 million in tax-payer funded money to write Defense Department foreign policy reports, his attorney Sean Bigley said. Before Lovinger’s clearance was suspended he had taken a detail to the National Security Council as senior director for strategy. He was only there for five months before he was recalled to the Pentagon, stripped of his prestigious White House detail, and ordered to perform bureaucratic make-work in a Pentagon annex Bigley calls “the land of misfit toys.” His security clearance was eventually revoked in March 2018, despite the Pentagon “refusing to turn over a single page of its purported evidence of Lovinger’s wrongdoing,” Bigley stated. Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, recently filed a federal lawsuit against the Defense Department to obtain the withheld records.

An investigation by SaraACarter.com reveals that the documents and information Lovinger stumbled on and other documents obtained by this news site, raise troubling questions about Halper, who was believed to have worked with the CIA and part of the matrix of players in the bureau’s ‘CrossFire Hurricane’ investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Halper, who assisted the FBI in the Russia investigation, appears to also have significant ties to the Russian government, as well as sources connected directly to President Vladimir Putin.

Halper did not respond to requests for comment.

“Mr. Lovinger unwittingly shined a spotlight on the deep state’s secret weapon – Stefan Halper – and threatened to expose the truth about the Trump-Russia collusion narrative than being plotted: that it was all a set-up.”

S&P 500, Nasdaq Surge to Record Highs, DOW Up 250+ as US and Mexico Strike Trade Deal

ANOTHER WIN FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND AMERICA …

The Trump administration and Mexico have negotiated a new trade deal to replace NAFTA and the markets are gaining in a huge way. Candidate Trump promised during the 2016 presidential campaign that he would end NAFTA and replace it with a better deal for America and American workers. He has done it! And the markets loved it and surged on the news. The S&P 500 gained 0.8% to close at 2,896.74, a record high. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9% to an all-time high, breaking above 8,000 points for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 259.29 points to 26,049.64.

Stocks jumped on Monday as the United States and Mexico closed a new trade deal, potentially removing a source of uncertainty that had been plaguing investors for months.

The S&P 500 gained 0.8 percent to close at 2,896.74 — a record high — with materials and financials as the best-performing sectors. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9 percent to an all-time high, breaking above 8,000 points for the first time, as Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet rose. Tech’s gains led the Nasdaq to close at 8,017.90.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 259.29 points to 26,049.64 as Caterpillar outperformed. Monday also marked the first time since Feb. 1 that the Dow closed above 26,000.

“The market has been buffeted with a lot of headwinds lately, and the biggest one is trade,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley FBR. “If you were to take trade out of the picture, you would have a smoother ride higher in this market.”

President Donald Trump said the deal would be called The United States-Mexico Trade agreement, leaving behind the 24-year-old NAFTA name. “The name NAFTA has a bad connotation because the United States was hurt very badly by NAFTA,” he said. Trump added that the deal with Mexico is also very helpful for farmers and manufacturers. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the deal must be approved by Congress before being implemented.

Target CEO Says About the Economy: This is the best consumer environment ‘I’ve seen in my career’

JUST SAY THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE DEPLORABLES WHO VOTED FOR HIM …

As reported at CNBC, Target CEO Brian Cornell raved about the state of the economy stating that this is the best consumer environment ‘I’ve seen in my career’. Target saw an unprecedented growth in same-store sales and foot traffic during the second quarter. But wait, I thought the internet was the destruction of bricks and mortar stores? The fact of the matter is that in a great economy, all succeed. Does that mean all, of course not. But when a President like Trump creates an environment conducive to business, stability and rids business of unnecessary regulations, look what is possible. It is no accident that this occurred while Donald Trump was in office and it would appear that the LEFT, Democrats and the liberal MSM all want this to go away. They want to be back in power and back to the old ways when the economy barely moved along.

Consumer spending is back and has never been better as far as Target CEO Brian Cornell is concerned.

“There’s no doubt that, like others, we’re currently benefiting from a very strong consumer environment — perhaps the strongest I’ve seen in my career,” Cornell told analysts on a call Wednesday.

The retailer’s shares are surging after reporting fiscal second-quarter results that beat on earnings, revenue and comparable store sales. Just when many investors have written off brick-and-mortar retailers in the era of Amazon, Target is seeing a huge jump in foot traffic.

“We’re seeing a great consumer response … unprecedented traffic. As we go back and look, we’ve never seen traffic growth like this,” Cornell said Wednesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

The big-box retailer also said digital sales skyrocketed more than 40 percent during the second quarter, as it’s been investing in adding more items to its website and adding more delivery options for online orders. Building on that momentum, Target raised its earnings outlook for the full year.

America, this is what Making America Great Again looks like … keep it going. But a word of warning, it will never look like it is today with a Democrat controlled Senate or House of Representative, Think about that come election day.

Rasmussen Poll Finds that President Trump at 36% Approval Among African-Americans

IF TRUE, IF EVEN HALF OF THIS NUMBER IS CORRECT, DEMOCRATS ARE IN BIG TROUBLE …

As reported at USA Today, a recent Rasmussen poll showed that President Donald Trump has a 36% approval rating among African-Americans. This is up from 19% last year, while Trump garnered 8% of the black vote during the 2016 Presidential election. How could this be? If you listen to the liberal, hate Trump MSM you would think that this could never be true. But wait, wasn’t it candidate Trump who said to blacks and other minority groups during his campaign, “give me a chance, what do you have to lose?” Maybe, just maybe they are seeing the record low black unemployment numbers, the booming economy and the benefits they have received from the Trump-GOP tax cuts.  Maybe its because black owned businesses is up 400% from last year. Is it any wonder why Pastor Darrell Scott stated that Donald Trump was the most Pro-Black President i his lifetime.

The LEFT’s worst nightmare … Trump “is probably going to be… the most pro-black president I’ve seen in my lifetime”

Even as cable news networks debate reports of the existence of a recording of President Donald Trump using a racial slur, a new poll from Rasmussen Reports says that the president’s approval rating among African-Americans is at 36 percent, nearly double his support at this time last year.

“Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36%,” Rasmussen said in a tweet. “This day last year: 19%.”

That is a staggeringly high number for a man who only won 8 percent of the African-American vote in 2016.

Make no mistake about it, President Trump has done great things for the black community and he didn’t pander to them. By making America great again, we all came along for the ride. And if, just if blacks do silently support President Trump, much like the forgotten men and women did in 2016 … then is it no wonder why the Left, the media and Democrats are panicking and going after Trump like they are.
