Hourly Compensation of U.S. Employees Declines Most Since 1947

Hourly Compensation of U.S. Employees Declines Most Since 1947 - Yahoo! Small Business Advisor

Consumer spending is toast as business inventory increases while hourly wages decrease. That can only result in declining consumer spending. There is a recession on main street. Finance is taking an ever bigger part of the financial pie and has its thumb on America.

The stock market, which is rising on expectation of increased consumer discretionary spending, could be a ticking time bomb. I don't give professional stock advice but all this does not add up or make sense.

John Mauldin Discusses What Could Go Wrong

This article was first published by me on Talkmarkets: http://www.talkmarkets.com/content/bonds/john-mauldin-discusses-what-could-go-wrong?post=118623&uid=4798

John Mauldin published an article regarding the economics of Donald Trump. I share many of his views. I think the article deserves to be discussed further.

It isn't as if John Mauldin is happy with the continual drive toward negative yields and the new normal. I believe he is like many, willing to fight for higher interest rates within reason and within the economic boundaries that exist. He is on board with the Fed, unlike other central banks, and is willing to risk recession to avoid negative rates:

Meanwhile, the Fed is in the middle of a long-overdue policy turn. There’s still a risk that they will find they started tightening just in time for a recession, which is also long overdue.

My Gedmatch Jewish Roots Force AntiIsrael Stance: Palestinian DNA

My Gedmatch Jewish roots are verified. It wasn't like I didn't already know. But when you are adopted, you want something concrete to back you up. I will list some charts below, but first, I want to tell you two things about Israel.

First, the African 9 test towards the end of this article shows that I am Yemeni Jewish and Ethiopian Jewish. Both of these groups made their way in recent times to Israel. Turns out they were mistreated. The Ethiopian Jews were mistreated by the racism they faced and still face in Israel. The Yemeni Jews had their babies stolen by a cruel nation.

Second, Israel, a colonial power, took away Palestinian land. But as you get into DNA, you realize that the Zionists stole the land from their biological brothers. Many Palestinians have ancient Hebrew DNA. It is true that they are not practicing Judaism, but neither do I. I am a New Covenant Christian.

And did you know that the Zionists who founded Israel were self avowed atheists? They didn't practic…
