Trump pins US stock market plunge on Democrats wiping out GOP in midterms: ‘Sad thing to watch!’

And the current DOW futures…Down 529 (51,086).
The dems promise to stop the building of data centers. That forced investors to sell AI stocks which had been the leading force in the recent market gains.
So, the data centers will be built elsewhere and the consequences that go with that.
I don’t believe this was a slip of the tongue.

Did Mark Carney just declare King Charles King of the US?

EXCLUSIVE:
Qatar paid $556,090 to an American PR firm whose FARA filings tell the public absolutely nothing about what that money bought
The firm is Lumen8 Advisors, which previously arranged Tucker Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s prime minister.
On May 12, Lumen8 told the DOJ in a FARA filing that its $180,000-a-month contract had expired on May 1. The firm also reported that it had entered into an unwritten understanding with Qatar dated May 2, while a replacement contract was still under negotiation.
FARA’s form explicitly requests the duration, fees, and expenses of such an understanding. But Lumen8 provided none of those details in its May filing, nor did it clarify them in its new supplemental filing dated November 2.
Now let’s talk money. Lumen8’s November 2 filing disclosed that it was paid $240,046.70 on May 5 and $302,307.44 on September 25.
And what did Qatar get for that hefty sum? Vague references to coaching Qatari spokespeople at an investor media event and providing media training. That’s it. No named spokespeople, no identified media outlets, and no specific event.
Absolutely no meaningful explanation of what that $556,090 actually bought.
This is par for the course for Qatar’s registered foreign agents. What are they hiding?

Good Morning America, how are ya?
Cloudy, 45 degrees and 96% humidity with winds out of the North.
And in Mercer, WI, The Loon Capital of the World….33 degrees, cloudy and 85% humidity…with winds at 7mph, from the NNW…
85° and it feels hotter than that. UV index is very high.
But, the northern most part of the Philippines had a heavy frost overnight.

Battling alternating feelings of anger, sadness, and a return to trusting in God, after a difficult election out here in CA! I walked neighborhoods to get voter ID on the ballot. The same neighborhood who signed a Newsom recall in Summer of 2020 50% of the time; an anti-crime petition in spring 2024 75% of the time — stats which were predictive of the final vote tally — signed my voter ID paper 39 out of 40 homes = 97.5% this last November.
I then walked voter guides to 150 homes across my town last weekend.
And yet CA wants me to believe that voter ID failed with only 40% of the vote (that’s been counted so far)???
And yet some obscure Prop 44 with no funding, no commercials, no nothing has the conservative position winning with 81% of the vote across the state (88% in my area)? CA hasn’t been that unified on anything since 1988! I seriously wonder if a Dominion algorithm pushed “Yes on Voter ID” over to “No on #44” because they couldn’t manufacture enough votes to overcome 80-90% support!
But Harmeet has walked away from her job so I guess I will have to wait until I get to heaven to know if all that shoe leather was a total waste!
Sorry for the rant, but I feel like you can understand my frustration since you experience the same shenanigans in greater Chicago!

VOTERS GET WHAT THEY WANTED’
Analysts point out President Trump warned markets would tank if Democrats took the midterms. “People could have gotten $5k instead they are seeing thousands wiped off their 401k’s.”

All Americans would do well to watch and learn from this report, especially those who complain about gas prices or think Iran and islamist aggression pose no threat to our nation.

GOD GIVES YOU INTELLIGENCE BUT HE MAKES YOU EARN WISDOM
“Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is. Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.”
Max Ehrmann
“When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be”
Paul Mccartney & John Lennon
“Want to know who you are? I’ll tell you.
You’re a memory-making machine and how well you do that job determines how happy you’ll be.
The things you choose to remember and the things you choose to forget are up to you.
So is how you choose to remember them.
Your happiness is a choice and that choice is up to you.
Remember that and don’t forget.”

Treepers i value your input on complex matters such as this so i will just put this out there when dems don’t get the outcome that is in there best interest we end up counting ballots for weeks until they the outcome thats best for them wins out when they win counting stops that night if you look at states like Texas the numbers just simply do not add up and that is not the only state with never before seen numbers on vote totals there needs to be an audit of this entire election . i can handle a loss but i can not except theft .
Zelensky claims US still owes Kiev $16 billion
“We must work on this. We must certainly raise the issue that, under previous agreements and decisions, $16 billion was frozen and $16 billion was not provided,” Zelensky claimed.
“We are grateful for everything that was given, but Ukraine must fight for at least this money. Let no one in the United States take offense,”
