President Trump and Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke at length today in advance of the upcoming G20 summit in Hamburg Germany and they set up a pre-summit meeting for Thursday. President Trump leaves for Europe this Wednesday 7/5/17.
President Trump is expected to promote U.S. natural gas exports (LNG) during a scheduled enthusiastic visit to Poland. Fraulein Merkel is not happy; not one little bit. Merkel wants EU to buy LNG from Russia.
There’s a massive amount of irony in the narrative that Merkel is the savior of global leftist ideology yet she wants to be even more cozy with Russia for energy. Meanwhile, regarding President Trump, the Merkel supporting left is on an anti-Russia crusade. Go figure.
(Via Reuters) […] Europeans will be watching to see whether Trump clarifies his administration’s position on a new pipeline to pump Russian gas to Germany, known as Nord Stream 2.
The U.S. Senate in June passed a package of sanctions on Russia, including provisions to penalize Western firms involved in the pipeline. The new sanctions have stalled in the House of Representatives.

Continuing to look at the new economy through the prism of the new dimension, CTH notes the manufacturing landscape is shaping itself as predicted. However, the disclaimer should also be noted that most economic observers are stuck in old economic paradigms.
[…] The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its manufacturing index rose to 57.8 last month from 54.9 in May. Anything above 50 signals that factory activity is increasing. The measure now stands at its highest level since August 2014, pointing to solid economic growth. (link)
Overall the trend-line is very positive for a resurgence in U.S. manufacturing. According to the report fifteen of the eighteen manufacturing industries surveyed posted growth in June. Those gains included: furniture, machinery, fabricated metals, petroleum and coal sectors. One transportation equipment firm surveyed for the report said “demand is up 5 to 7 percent.”
The manufacturing base is responding (via investing) to predictable market patterns. However, the rate of response (production investment) will increase in direct proportion to the upcoming (late summer) trade negotiations. Please keep that in mind.

Liberal turned conservative David Mamet famously said:
In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…
CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, moonbat extraordinaire, sparred with Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) over President Donald Trump’s weekend tweet of a video meme. CNN’s ignoring of actual political violence while pretending a meme about wrestling is real violence is directly what led to President Trump garnering more credibility than CNN.
Watch Alisyn Camerota pretend not to know that.

The political pendulum has never, in the history of humanity, stayed on one side of a swing. Likewise, the resulting backlash is always, always, directly proportionate to how far off skew it was taken before corrective action was engaged. ~ SD
Foolishness, selfishness, corruption and betrayal of our nation by it’s political elites have served to reveal dangers within our republic. Exhausted, we accepted that 2016 was the time when forceful correction needed to be applied. However, misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, would be neither safe nor wise.
The media are disconnected from the reality of their landscape yet seem to find themselves opining about political violence. Those media voices would be wise to remind themselves that candidate Donald Trump, now President Trump, was the “lesser extreme” strategy for correction. As President Trump said during a recent rally in Iowa: “they’re lucky our side isn’t violent.” He was entirely accurate. President Trump is the last best option.
There’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior. Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed. You cannot poll or measure it; and even those who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
Charlie Gard was born healthy 10 months ago, but suffers from a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial depletion syndrome and has serious brain damage. His parents have raised over $1.5 million to fund a trip to the United States for an experimental treatment.
British medical professionals are refusing to allow his parents to remove Charlie from the hospital claiming his condition is terminal and he must remain in the U.k. hospital until he dies. His parents appealed to the courts. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) denied the parents request stating little Charlie was too ill, could not be saved, and must “die with dignity” in the UK.
President Trump has offered assistance to Charlie’s parents: Chris Gard, 32, and Connie Yates, 31.
Sharyl Attkisson interview on Fox Media Buzz to discuss her new book The Smear. How shady political operatives control what the media presents.
It’s challenging to see the sunlight at the end of this complex tunnel, but it’s there. More visible today than a week ago.
White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short appears on Fox News Sunday to discuss the ongoing efforts to reform ObamaCare. In a very positive shift amid the overall discussion, for the first time the point of the cost on the individual insurance market is brought to the forefront.
CTH readers will note our continuing frustration that 99% of the entire healthcare discussion has centered around medicaid spending, or the state funded subsidy of low-income healthcare coverage.
The vast majority of the most severely impacted people within the discussion, middle-class workers/taxpayers who do not qualify for medicaid, have been essentially locked out of the legislative consideration. It is refreshing to see middle America finally being part of the equation. Within the Senate bill, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have finally advanced something of value.
The “Consumer Choice Amendment” would allow insurance companies to sell plans that do not follow regulations created under Obamacare, with the caveat that those insurers have to sell at least one plan that adheres to Obamacare’s mandates. The proposal would allow insurers to sell plans with tailored benefits.

The word “triggering” always seemed somewhat silly. It just didn’t seem plausible to be able to control the activity of cognitive, free-thinking matriculated humans by using humorous words or images. However, apparently the secret to revealing the parallel bizarro world is by using sequential gif (video snippets) to unlock the stargate.
According to triggered media punditry President Trump has tweeted a humorous gif creating anti-matter, and tearing open a portal within the media space-time continuum.

Yes, with the use of a hand-held electronic device, Donald Trump has presented a singularity so intense it created a vortex of over reaction leading to an apparent black hole forming and absorbing all common sense within it’s gravitational field.
