Obama’s Latest Autobiography Rewrites Israeli History to Make You Hate the Jewish State

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Whatever the merits or lack thereof of Barack Obama’s presidency, he certainly leads all other presidents in the number of autobiographies he has written, with three compared to a number of his peers who are tied at one. However, his latest one, A Promised Land, is more than just an update on the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the Most Undeservedly Celebrated Man on the Planet; it’s a full-on apologia for his policies as president, and a program for his impending third term, aka the Biden administration.

Former US President Barack Obama’s new book A Promised Land is seen in a bookstore in New York City, NY USA on November 17, 2020. Barack Obama was using his time after leaving the White House to write a memoir detailing his time as the 44th president of the United States. After nearly four years of waiting, Mr Obama has released his 701-page memoir entitled A Promised Land, the first instalment of his presidential memoirs.

The weighty 768-page tome not only tells you more about His Wonderfulness than you ever thought you wanted to know; it also provides a potted Leftist history of Israel that abundantly illustrates how Leftists see our most reliable ally in the Middle East, and why they hate it with such focused laser-beam intensity.

Obama portrays Britain and then Israel as occupying powers in Palestine, without ever explaining who actually owned the land they were and are supposedly occupying. He makes no mention of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine. Read More

Yields at Risk of Shooting Up as Fed Defers Bond-Buying Changes

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

The Federal Reserve’s window to tinker with its bond-buying program may be narrowing, meaning there’s a risk that Treasury yields will climb faster than many predict.

At its final policy meeting of 2020, the U.S. central bank just decided not to tilt more purchases toward longer maturities — something that could’ve kept a lid on longer-term interest rates. And while the Fed didn’t rule out eventually making such a change, a healthier U.S. economy — possibly due to more fiscal stimulus if Democrats take control of the Senate after runoff elections on Jan. 5 — could make it harder for the central bank to justify, according to some investors.

The mere possibility that the Fed might act more overtly to anchor long-end borrowing costs at some point has helped cap yields at that part of the curve. It’s a big factor behind why the 10-year rate stayed below 1% this week even amid progress on stimulus talks and after the Fed’s decision to defer action. If that policy option were to disappear entirely, that could well provide scope for rates to move up. Read More

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Stock futures traded deep in the red early Monday as enthusiasm over a coronavirus stimulus deal was overwhelmed by worries over a viral new Covid strain in the U.K.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average pointed to an opening drop of more than 500 points. Dow futures lost 1.8%. S&P 500 futures shed 2% and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.3%

Travel-related stocks came under pressure on news of an infectious new coronavirus strain in the U.K., which triggered more severe lockdowns and travel restrictions across Europe.

Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines shares each dropped more than 9% in premarket trading. Delta Air Lines lost 8% in early trading. Shares of companies that would be hit by stricter lockdown measures fell, including Wynn Resorts and Gap.

The losses came even as lawmakers have reached an agreement on a $900 billion relief package, which would provide direct payments and jobless aid to struggling Americans. Read More

Finally: Orthodox Rabbis Attack Raphael Warnock’s Anti-Semitism

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Rabbi Ilan Feldman from Congregation Beth Jacob in Atlanta and Rabbi Avigdor Slatus from Congregation Bnai Brith Jacob in Savannah, both of them Orthodox, last week sent a letter to the campaign of Democratic candidate for one of Georgia’s Senate seats Rev. Raphael Warnock, condemning his objectionable anti-Israel statements.

“We are concerned and hurt by the manner in which the Reverend brushed aside his past rhetoric against Israel and the Jewish community, and even blamed his opponents for ‘trying to use Israel as yet another wedge issue,’” the two Orthodox rabbis wrote.

Warnock signed a letter in 2018 that compared Israel’s status in Judea and Samaria to the “military occupation of Namibia by apartheid South Africa.” In a sermon, also in 2018, he accused Israel of shooting down “unarmed Palestinian sisters and brothers like birds of prey.”

ONTARIO’S CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICERS OF HEALTH DR. YAFFE AND DR. WILLIAMS CAUGHT IN HOT MIC MOMENT

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

While there may now be a needle to treat the coronavirus, there’s no vaccine that can cure the dangers of a hot mic — or mask the embarrassment.

This was an accidental blunder that’s going viral faster than the virus itself.

What they didn’t realize is the microphones were already turned on and their private conversation was anything but.

I wonder who (((they))) are…?

Thanks VS for sending this in

“It’s A Constant Struggle”: Cost Of Living Increases Are Decimating The Middle And Lower Class

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

While the government continues to peddle the CPI fairy tale and the true cost of living (as measured by real-world inflationary indicators like the Chapwood Index) appears to be closer to 10%, instead of 2%, the middle and lower class are bearing the brunt of the pain.This was the topic of a new NPR piece that took a look at exactly why Americans were having trouble paying their expenses. What they found shouldn’t surprise anyone: incomes were being vastly outpaced by the cost of living. “An unexpected bill like that is what separates millions of Americans from financial disaster,” the piece says.

While some of this can be attributed to poor financial planning, some of it can also be attributed to an increasingly skewed playing field that’s being created as a result of monetary policy.

Employers can bar unvaccinated employees from the workplace, EEOC says

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Yet for millions of workers and businesses, the emerging immunizations also raise a host of questions, not the least of which is this: Can your employer require that you get vaccinated?
