Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
A few days ago Bloomberg published a poll of 2,001 registered voters containing a sub-set of 945 voters considered “investors” in the financial markets (full pdf below).
From those voters who are also financial investors the results showed a 50% favorability for Donald Trump, and a 33% favorability for Hillary Clinton. Not only do voters trust Trump more with their personal and family safety, they also trust Donald Trump more with their personal and family finances:
(Bloomberg) More voters with a stake in the stock market say Donald Trump would be better as president for their portfolios than Hillary Clinton, with about one in four saying they’ll alter their asset mix if the Republican is elected and a similar share saying they’d do so if the Democrat wins.
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult national poll on investment, tax and economic issues shows voters with money in the market pick Trump over Clinton, 50 percent to 33 percent, as the person they think will be better for their portfolio. Those with more than $50,000 invested answer the question almost identically as smaller investors.

The U.S. political media is especially insufferable today. They’re working overtime trotting out every pontificating member of the left-wing cloister to decry the decision of U.K. voters to exit the cosmopolitan superiority of The European Union.
It is a rather remarkable moment to behold, and the comparative contrasts deserve some emphasis.
• In months past, the political ruling class have waxed philosophically about the working people who don’t have enough money to cover any unanticipated life emergency greater than $500.
Today those same voices point breathlessly to the bankers (currency market) and investing class (financial market) losses – – seemingly unaware the ‘working people’ they previously defined as non-Vichy are unaffected by such consequences.
Oh dear, the global bankers are losing today? Yeah, so, pass the cannolis.
Wait, wha.. huh?

Appearing on Breitbart Radio Nigel Farage tells Stephen K. Bannon that President Obama’s visit to the UK (telling the people to vote Remain) offended a lot of British and backfired on the Remain campaign:

“Threatening people too much actually insults their intelligence and the lesson from the Obama visit is even more fascinating”.
“Here’s the most powerful man in the world coming from a country that we’ve always had a huge high regard for … and a lot of people in Britain said, ‘How dare the American president come here and tell us what to do?’ And it backfired and I think we got an Obama Brexit bounce because people do not want foreign leaders telling them how to think and how to vote.”

US presidential candidate Donald Trump delivers official news conference at Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland.
Yesterday the U.S. media pundits were attacking Mr. Trump for leaving the U.S. during the presidential race. Today, not so much. Trump appears rather prescient.
To say the last 24 hours have been historic could most certainly be an understatement. However, we can be certain a wounded global media will put every possible liberal, progressive, multicultural and socialist voice onto television and into print to push back against the visible rise of a growing nationalist sentiment.
What has happened with the U.K. referendum is going to send reverberations around the globe; but this outcome should not come as a complete surprise to most CTH readers. What happened in Great Britain is the visible rise of their national Monster Vote.
People from across political parties, conservative (Tory) and democrat (Labour), joined together to unite against the institutional political systems (EU) who construct the rules of their lives without the consent of the governed. (more…)
Following the United Kingdom referendum vote to leave the European Union, UK Prime Minister David Cameron announces his pending resignation.
“There can be no doubts about this result” – During a press conference this morning Cameron said he is not the strong determined committed leadership required to begin unraveling Britain from the EU.
