But if the heads of Goldman Sachs, UBS, Leahman Brothers, and all the rest didn't face criminal charges over the 2008 meltdown, there is no way Hillary is going to be indicted, not in an election year and not by the Obama administration.<br /><br />In 2008, the big banks had Geighner and Obama's DOJ to run interference for them. Hillary doesn't have Geighner but Obama is still there and it is his DOJ and State. You can't get an indictment if no one requests it. Despite the incompetence, corruption, and waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars uncovered various AG's and auditing groups during Obama's term, no one has ever faced criminal charges. It won't start with Hillary.<br /><br />This is all a lot different from the S&L scandal in the late '80s when over 800 bank officials went to jail. <br /><br />Hillary won't go to jail but the evidence is there for anyone to see. It confirms the fact that she is one, felony stupid or two, so indulgent and self-centered that she considers herself so entitled and privileged that she just doesn't give a shit.<br /><br />. <br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-18739576280675379482016-05-10T16:08:38.129-04:002016-05-10T16:08:38.129-04:00They are being driven down by Bob's oft-stated...They are being driven down by Bob's oft-stated belief that Hillary's going to prison.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-36755411208421781652016-05-10T16:04:47.938-04:002016-05-10T16:04:47.938-04:00IDF general triggers outrage comparing Israel to E...<i><b><br />IDF general triggers outrage comparing Israel to Europe 'processes' of 90 years ago</b><br /><br />In an unusual speech during a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust, Israel's deputy army chief compared processes happening today in Israeli society to events that unfolded in Europe prior to World War II.<br /><br /><br />The 54-year-old General Yair Golan said that<b> "If there is something that frightens me about the remembrance of the Holocaust it's the recognition of processes that occurred in Europe in general, and in Germany in particular, back then - 70, 80 and 90 years ago - and finding signs of them here among us, today, in 2016."</b><br /><br />Golan - himself a descendant of Holocaust survivors from Germany - was harshly criticized for his statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as other politicians, mainly from the right side of the political spectrum.<br />...<br /><br />This is not the first time prominent figures in Israel have compared the country's current government and society to Nazi Germany; however, the criticism usually comes from columnists, artists and activists.<br /><b><br />Golan's words have created such a stir because he is the second-highest ranked officer in the Israeli military</b></i><br /><br />http://www.dw.com/en/idf-general-triggers-outrage-comparing-israel-to-europe-processes-of-90-years-ago/a-19244831Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-25790167796127936462016-05-10T15:58:41.838-04:002016-05-10T15:58:41.838-04:00Sanders Crushing Trump in Polls 53 Percent to 38 P...<b><i><br />Sanders Crushing Trump in Polls 53 Percent to 38 Percent, Seen as Strongest General Election Candidate</i></b><br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tony-brasunas/sanders-crushing-trump-in_b_9862708.htmlJack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52776177859669840172016-05-10T15:54:38.055-04:002016-05-10T15:54:38.055-04:00.

Budweiser Renames I...BREAKING NEWS:<br /><br />3 minute read<br /><br />Budweiser Renames Its Beer "America<br /><br />Until the November election, Budweiser is swapping out everything on its can—including its own name—to be as patriotic as possible.<br /><br />Mark Wilson 05.10.16 7:00 AM <br /><br />With the backdrop of the Olympics and a comically botched election, this summer is bound to be what Ricardo Marques, a vice president from Budweiser, calls "maybe the most American summer ever."<br /><br />So Budweiser is going to potentially ingenious, potentially absurd branding extremes. The company has kept the same can you already know, but when you look closely, you’ll realize that it has swapped out its own name, "Budweiser," for "America." That’s right, Budweiser has renamed its beer America for the summer. "We thought nothing was more iconic than Budweiser and nothing was more iconic than America," says Tosh Hall, creative director at the can’s branding firm JKR.<br /><br /><br />ADVERTISEMENT: New American Bud Can<br /><br />It's pretty obvious what Budweiser is doing here. Summer is peak beer-selling season—the entire industry sees a double-digit boost. Since 2011, Budweiser has released special summer-edition cans that feature images such as the American flag and the Statue of Liberty, upping the ante on its red-white-and-blue packaging with a full salute to patriotism—as a nod to Memorial Day, July Fourth, and the quiet American dream of drinking a beer in your backyard while charring various processed meats.<br /><br />But this year, Budweiser is going even further. The summer cans and bottles will run through the November election—which is to say that for seven months, every Budweiser sold in the U.S. will read "America."<br /><br />http://www.fastcodesign.com/3059681/budweiser-renames-its-beer-america<br /><br />Now if they'd just change the beer so it tastes like German beer, or maybe even Coors, it might be worth buying....<br />Idaho Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-25686740984074288502016-05-10T13:45:43.247-04:002016-05-10T13:45:43.247-04:00Highlights

But small business owners are still quite pessimistic, citing the poor economy and the political climate as the two main reasons for not expanding. Five of the 10 components showed gains in April, four were unchanged and one declined. <br /><br />Both of the report's employment components improved, with <b>job openings hard to fill</b> posting the largest gain of the index by rising 4 point to to 29, while plans to increase employment rose by 2 points to 11. <br /><br />Although still the weakest of the components, earnings trends also improved, rising 3 points to a minus 19. In the one sour note of an otherwise mostly upbeat report, business owners were even less expectant of future improvement in the economy, with that component dropping 1 point to minus 18.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/economic-calendar" rel="nofollow">Small Business Optimism Index</a>galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37216319681207265962016-05-10T13:40:50.895-04:002016-05-10T13:40:50.895-04:00Neat-O JOLTS Chart<a href="http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2016/05/bls-jobs-openings-increased-in-march.html" rel="nofollow">Neat-O JOLTS Chart</a>galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-57076995228745704602016-05-10T13:37:59.988-04:002016-05-10T13:37:59.988-04:00Highlights

And employers, as indicated in this morning's small business optimism report, may be having trouble filling the openings as the hiring rate fell 1 tenth to 3.7 percent. <br /><br />The quits rate is unchanged at 2.1 percent to indicate that workers are showing limited inclination to shift jobs. Similarly, employers are showing limited inclination to cut jobs as the layoffs rate fell 1 tenth to 1.2 percent. The labor market, despite economic slowing, remains the nation's chief strength.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/economic-calendar%22" rel="nofollow">JOLTS</a>galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-73417659226054461322016-05-10T13:11:33.783-04:002016-05-10T13:11:33.783-04:00And, yes, Ohio does look problematic to me.

For that reason, I wouldn't expect any "Major" shifts in popularity.<br /><br />Also, the electorate has become so super-polarized that I expect most of the "never-trumpers," and "hillary-haters" to return to their respective nests, and vote for their party's nominee.<br /><br />Right now, the polling averages are strongly influenced by Rasmussen's recent strange Trump +2 outlier. The four most recent non-rasmussen polls average out to Hillary +9, or so (that said, you have to be very careful when you start to find yourself in the "un-skewing" business.)<br /><br />All that considered, I'm still happy to stick with my Hillary +6 prediction; if she beats that by a bit I'll take it as a gift. :)<br /><br />galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91623478742034766302016-05-10T12:51:22.733-04:002016-05-10T12:51:22.733-04:00All good questions, Q.
