IT’S OVER TRUMPSTERS: FLYNN WILLING TO TESTIFY IN RUSSIAN FBI PROBE IN EXCHANGE FOR IMMUNITY

***UPDATE*** Flynn’s attorney issues a statement.


The Wall Street Journal is reporting Former National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn, offered to testify on possible Russian-Trump ties in exchange for immunity.

The obvious question is, what in the world would Flynn need immunity for?

This comes to mind.

Rick Wilson rejoices.

EU’s Boss Threatens to Support American Secession if Trump Doesn’t Back Off

The head of the EU Commission, Juncker, is seething mad over BREXIT and called out President Trump for supporting it and other states removing themselves from EU tyranny.

Clownishly, Juncker said that if President Trump doesn’t stop supporting freedom from the EU, he would start supporting independence for “Austin, Texas, and Ohio of all places. Is this man a fucking moron, or simply ignorant to distinguish the difference between trying to foment secession and civil war in America and EU member states, who are sovereign, simply removing themselves from an economic and political bloc?

“Brexit isn’t the end. A lot of people would like it that way, even people on another continent where the newly elected US President was happy that the Brexit was taking place and has asked other countries to do the same.

“If he goes on like that I am going to promote the independence of Ohio and Austin, Texas in the US.”

When do we get to destroy Germany for the 3rd time over the past century?

James Comey’s Secret Twitter Account Has Been Exposed

Gizmodo did some digging into comments by James Comey, who said he had secret Instagram and Twitter accounts, with great success.

The writer, Ashley Feinberg, surmised that his Twitter account had to be @projectexile7.

Project Exile happens to be a federal program that James Comey helped develop when he was a U.S. attorney living in Richmond. And then, of course, there are the follows.

ProjectExile7 follows 27 other accounts, the majority of which are either reporters, news outlets, or official government and law enforcement accounts. The New York Times’ Adam Goldman and David Sanger and the Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima and David Ignatius, all of whom have been aggressively covering the FBI investigation into Trump’s contacts with Russian agents, made the list, as did Wittes and former Bush Administration colleague Jack Goldsmith. Donald Trump is on there, too, but @projectexile7 seems to have begun following him relatively recently (its first follow was @nytimes).

There are two outliers: William & Mary News (where Comey attended undergrad) and our colleagues at The Onion (everyone deserves to have fun).

Let’s assume Ms. Feinberg nailed Comey and his secret Twitter account. What can we learn from his activity? He hasn’t tweeted, so there’s nothing to judge there. His list of follows, as mentioned above, includes both media and political accounts. He follows a sundry of law enforcement accounts, such as the CIA, NYPD Counter-terrorism, Office of the DNI, FBI NY,  elitist publication The Atlantic, and main stream publications like Washpo, NY Times and Politico.

Of the 39 articles he ‘liked’, 8 were about him. Here are some other noteworthy ones.

Pedo-related

Republican Scott Walker attacking MUH college professors

Pro-Kasich article

He doesn’t follow Breitbart, but liked this anyway. Perhaps he was amused by it?

He liked a marxist propaganda piece by Washpo.

EPA shilling.

Russian conspiracies.

Our FBI director gets all of his news from main stream media fake news outlets and seems to favor a lot of liberal shilling in his twitter feed. Is it something? Probably not. But it’s interesting to see how self-absorbed he is with the way media perceives him — with 20% of his ‘likes’ being articles that talked about him.

BANKSTERS REJOICE!

Thanks to a blistering GDP report, which showed the US economy roared ahead by 2.1% for the fourth quarter, compared to the estimated 1.9%, bank stocks have exploded to the upside — causing many C-level executives to dance inside of their offices, whilst puffing on big fat cigars and gargling on some single malt scotch neat.

Courtesy of Exodus:
Regional Pacific +3.55%
Regional Southeast +3.5%
Regional Southwest +3.4%
Regional Midwest +2.9%
Regional Midatlantic +2.8%

In addition to a roaring economy, and I say this to you in my best midatlantic accent, the parties inside of our beloved C-levels executives offices are about to become more perverse, more grandiose — as the odious blight that is Dodd-Frank gets rolled the fuck back.

Guardian reports:

Donald Trump moved to roll back the financial regulations brought in after the last financial crisis on Friday, directing a review of the Dodd-Frank Act, which was enacted to ensure there would never be another 2008-style meltdown.

The US president said his latest executive order was necessary because the regulations were too onerous on business and hurting the economy. But the move was largely symbolic – only Congress can rewrite the legislation.

A second directive is expected to halt the implementation of an Obama-era rule that would have required brokers to act in a client’s best interest when providing retirement advice, rather than seek the highest profits for themselves.

“We desperately need to overhaul how we approach financial regulation,” said the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer. He said Dodd-Frank was a “disastrous policy” that was “crippling” the US economy.

The treasury secretary has 120 days to consult with the Financial Stability Oversight Council, established by the Dodd-Frank Act to look out for excessive risks to the US financial system, and report back on whether it was meeting Trump’s “core principles” for financial regulation. These include preventing taxpayer-funded bailouts; fostering economic growth; enabling US companies to be competitive with foreign firms in domestic and foreign markets; and advancing American interests in international financial regulatory negotiations and meetings.

Before signing the order, Trump met with his business advisory panel, which includes 18 executives from large US companies including GE, Citigroup, General Motors, Tesla and Disney.

“We expect to be cutting a lot out of Dodd-Frank, because frankly I have so many people, friends of mine, that have nice businesses and they can’t borrow money … They just can’t get any money because the banks just won’t let them borrow because of the rules and regulations in Dodd-Frank. So we’ll be talking about that in terms of the banking industry,” Trump said.

The president was backed by Gary Cohn, director of the national economic council and a former Goldman Sachs banker. “Americans are going to have better choices and Americans are going to have better products because we’re not going to burden the banks with literally hundreds of billions of dollars of regulatory costs every year,” Cohn said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

It’s not normal to see banks up 3.5% on any given day. 2-10 year treasury spreads widened a bit today to 113bps.

Jim Rogers: The Fed Has No Idea What They’re Doing; ‘They’re Going to Ruin Us All’

I used to like listening to Rogers talk shit. He’s never happy about anything. I doubt his sandwiches are every made to his satisfaction and probably gets mad while drinking lemonade. But as the years pile on and his bitterness takes on a mechanized moroseness, I find myself feeling sorry for the old bow tie.

After all, he’s was the brains behind George Soros and look at how well George has done without him, literally ruling the world. And what has Jim done with his life since then?

He’s managed to leave America to live in Singapore so that his kids could learn to speak mandarin and he wastes away talking to meaningless people in the media about how awful the Federal Reserve is — borrowing from the same script for over a decade now.

SAD!

If Evelyn Farkas Resigned in 2015, How Did She Have Access to Trump-Russian Intelligence?

This was making waves yesterday, after Evelyn Farkas admitted to Mika from The Morning Joe show that she strongly advised people ‘on the hill’ and in our intelligence agencies to tuck away intelligence regarding Russo-Trump ties for the sake of preservation, in an effort to protect it from the onerous bureaucracy she obviously finds to be deplorable.

“Get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama leaves the administration,” said Farkas in an interview yesterday on MSNBC.

She was afraid the Trump people would gain access to their intelligence and whisk it away — because they’re all Russian spies, obviously.

Aside from what appears to be a brazen confirmation of spying on the Trump team, the bigger red flag here is Dr. Farkas wasn’t employed by the Obama administration at the time the Russian allegations arose.

According to Pentagon records, Dr. Farkas resigned in September of 2015.

So how did this non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, gain knowledge of intelligence regarding members of Trump’s team and their relations with Russia, when she was the senior foreign policy advisor for Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton?

Farkas was the prime driver behind the anti-Russia phobia inside the Pentagon during the Obama years — shilling hard for the Ukraine — requesting that the President send them anti-tank missiles — which, essentially, would mean outright war with Russia.

Back to the interview with Mika Brzezinski. Dr. Farkas said ‘we’ had good intel on Russia. Who does she refer to when she says ‘we?’

Professional Deep Stater, Dr. Evelyn Farkas, Globalist Shill

Here’s Mark Levin’s take on this scandal.

Perhaps someone inside the Obama government was leaking to the Hillary campaign?

I think we all know what the answer is to the rhetorical question.

The Dry Bulk Index is Up More Than 200% Over the Past 12 Months

For the first time in years, it looks like the shippers are finally going to bust loose — thanks to renewed optimism in China. Just the other day, Morgan Stanley upgraded the sector — fueling a short squeeze that laid waste to bears in a sundry of downtrodden shippers.

This is a general update, a quick rundown if you will, about the day rates in America’s most hated sector.

Behold the breakdown of prices amongst classes.

Lastly, the sector has been a recipient of fast money traders this year — bidding up low float China related stocks — because it’s fun.

$SBLK +128%
$SB +106%
$SALT +82%
$GNK +66%
$DSX +58%
$NMM +50%
$NM +34%

On the tanker side, $NVGS, $GNRT and $GLNG are the leaders.

The controversial DRYS is down by a mere 94% for the year.

Say it With Me: “Madame President”

Ivanka Trump has made it official. Not only is she taking up residence in the White House with her husband, Jared Kushner, helping to make America great again — she’s also now a government employee. Due to her immense wealth and gracious manner, she will donate her time and skillsets to the American people — as an assistant to the President — free of charge.

Her statement.

“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees.”

It’s important for Ivanka to gain government experience now — for in 8 year she’ll be running for President of the United States — becoming the first female to ever hold the office in this magnanimous nation. Aside from breaking through the gender barrier, she’ll also be extending the Trump dynasty — a modern day monarch opposed to globalist shills and unamerican activities.

Say it with me, Madame President.

You didn’t think this was going to be our first female President, did you?

Ackman Apologizes For Being a Retard, Incurs $4 Billion Hit and Jogs On

What the fuck? Who takes a hit like that can keeps his job?

Bill Ackman got fucking graped in $VRX, losing upwards of 95% on his investment for his friends and colleagues. Ergo, he’d like to apologize for the small set back.

“We deeply regret this mistake, which has cost all of us a tremendous amount,” he wrote.

“My approach to mistakes is that I personally assume 100 percent of the responsibility on behalf of the firm,” said Billy in his annual letter to clients on Wednesday.

Essentially, a website named after a fruit destroyed him — top down. Even if he regains his wealth, he’ll never recover his confidence. In that regard, the old Ackman who’d splayed himself across Wall Street — BARED NAKED — is gone.

Ackman is down 2.5% for the year — but promised a quick recovery.

What else is new?

CANADIAN BEATDOWN: $LULU HAS CRASHED AND IS NEVER COMING BACK

It’s a Canadian company. What did you expect, long term growth? No, that’s not how the world works. Canadians come up with great ideas and then their American brothers take those ideas and make them better, rendering the old legacy shit in Canada obsolete.

$LULU just came out with numbers and they were abysmal. It’s over faggots. Stop shopping at LuLuLemon right now. No one likes that shit anymore.

Reports Q4 (Jan) earnings of $1.00 per share, $0.01 worse than the Capital IQ Consensus of $1.01; revenues rose 12.0% year/year to $789 mln vs the $783.32 mln Capital IQ Consensus.
Comp Store Sales increased 6% y/y, gudiance was for mid-single digits.

Co issues downside guidance for Q1, sees EPS of $0.25-0.27, excluding non-recurring items, vs. $0.39 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate; sees Q1 revs of $510-515 mln vs. $552.44 mln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.

See Comp Sales decrease in the low single digits.
Co issues downside guidance for FY18, sees EPS of $2.26-2.36, excluding non-recurring items, vs. $2.56 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate; sees FY18 revs of $2.550-2.600 bln vs. $2.62 bln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.

Expects Comp store sales increase in low-single digits

Shares are sliiiiiiiding in the after hours, moron style.

Look, the mall is dead. That’s all there is to it. Women like yoga pants, but not for $100. Any man shopping at LULU isn’t really a man, insofar as he is a manlet, undeserving of being assigned a gender.

I know this is hard for some of you leafs to understand, but your country was founded by losers, men who bet against destiny and made the worst trade in the history of mankind. It’s in your genes for you to lose. Find solace in knowing that you never had a chance.
