"Smug Media" Attacks Trump While Refusing To Condemn "Violent Riots" Led By "Anarchist Groups"

The mainstream media refuses to condemn violent protests in Oakland and Portland but are happy to attack Trump for questioning "protests that have been characterised by bricks through windows, smashed cars, and fires lit in the street."

CNN Caught Red Handed Hoaxing The Narrative Of President Donald Trump Protests

from WeAreChange:

In this video Luke Rudkowski talks about the latest anti President protests and how CNN was caught red handed faking interviews with their camera guy to set the narrative of the protests. Many protestors are more anti government and anti Donald Trump then they are pro Hillary Clinton but you would not know that watching CNN.

Over 2 Million Hillary Supporters Sign Petition To Overturn Election Results

Having called the now president-elect's response "horrifying," accusing him of "talking down our democracy," it turns out that Clinton’s supporters are the ones who are refusing to accept the election results as they were announced in the early morning of Nov. 9.

What The Hell Is Suddenly Going On With Foreclosures?

Trump Not Seeking Full Repeal Of Dodd-Frank; Opposes Bank Bailout Provision

In what may be bad news for the financial sector, after opposition to grassroots as well as Congressional republicans, Trump appears to be tempering expectations of a full Dodd-Frank repeal, and according to the WSJ, Trump’s transition team is instead focusing on "rescinding or scaling back individual provisions."

Commodity Carnage: Copper Turns Red, Oil Plunges Near $42 Handle

Wednesday saw a bloodbath in global developed bonds. Yesterday saw Emerging Market currencies and bonds collapse. Today, it is the turn of the commodity complex as Copper erases a 7% gain intrday and crashes red, WTI Crude tumbles near a $42 handle (Trump lows) and precious metals are clubbed like baby seals...

The Real Lesson For America As Grubhub Stock Plunges After CEO Tells Trump Supporters To Resign

The blowback began yesterday as #boycottgrubhub took hold on social media. But it appears Americans - as deplorable as they are - are voting with their wallets and dumping Grubhub stock (now down 10% since the CEO explained in a company-wide email that Trump-supporting staff are not welcome and should resign.) However, there are some deeper lessons from this than the typical intolerance on the left and the "I just don't get it" perspective.

Beware The "Disconnects" In The Trump Rally

When the U.S. decided to put America first this week, who could have thought it would play out in the financial markets quite so quickly and starkly? Domestic equities are flying. Contrasted by the ones in global emerging markets that are taking it in the neck. Several countries had to intervene in their currencies to stem the sell-off. The storyline is based on the presumption that America can thrive no matter how the rest of the world gets on.

 

Trumpquake

by Pepe Escobar, The News Doctors:
With, of course, a major twist. The suicide bomber sneaked out of the successful attack – which was meant to decimate virtually the whole War Party/neocon-neoliberalcon/Wall Street/think tank/corporate media establishment.
And then, out of left field, when no one saw him coming, he reappeared, trumping it all. Internal geopolitics was key – as in the Trump campaign rust belt strategy mastering geography, demography and the rudiments of class struggle to effectively shatter the much-vaunted Democrat blue wall. For all the requiems — “American tragedy” downwards – there won’t be armed revolution in the US. There won’t be civil war. The “deplorables” may have given a collective finger to the liquid modernity elites – but there will be no vengeful victory laps.

Trump and the Coming of Helicopter Money – Jim Rickards

by Jim Rickards, DailyReckoning:
One of the great mysteries of the past eight years is why there has not been more consumer price inflation despite the fact that the Federal Reserve has printed over $3 trillion in new money.
Many economists hypothesizes that such money printing must prove inflationary, and many consumers assumed the same. The answer is that money printing by itself is not inflationary — it has to be combined with velocity (that’s the turnover, or rapid use, of money) in order to produce inflation.
Most of the money printed by the Fed was simply deposited with the Fed by the big banks in the form of excess reserves. That money was never borrowed or spent. Therefore, it never had the kind of velocity needed to produce price increases.

President-Elect Trump: Hillary Lost because Power Brokers decided She was Damaged Goods

by Stephen Lendman, Global Research:
A night to remember! Talk about an Alfred Hitchcock ending! A future Hollywood film awaits about this year’s campaign.
Other than for Trump diehards, the ending was a real shocker, following months of one-sided media pro-Hillary advocacy – journalism the way it’s supposed to be entirely discarded.
My assessment of the outcome is as follows. Hillary, the establishment candidate, was chosen to succeed Obama last year, likely before she announced her candidacy.

UMich Consumer Sentiment Surges, But There Is One Big Footnote

The Sentiment Index in early November erased the small October decline to climb to its highest level since mid 2016. However, there was one big caveat: "Unfortunately, the November data must be accompanied by the proviso that it was collected before the result of the Presidential election was known late Tuesday." Expect the final number to plunge...

Harry Reid Issues Statement On Election Of "Sexual Predator" Donald Trump

So much for the Democrats reaching across the aisle to president-elect Donald Trump: "If this is going to be a time of healing, we must first put the responsibility for healing where it belongs: at the feet of Donald Trump, a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate."

Oil Tumbles To $43 Handle As Iran Production Surged Most Since Sanctions Lifted

The cracks in the cartel are showing. Amid Saudi threats (over exemptions), Iran tells OPEC it has raised output by the most since international sanctions were lifted. With inventories remaining 300mm barrels above average and OPEC production at a new record high, hopes for any production freeze deal are fading fast and WTI has test pre-Trump $43 handle lows.

Over $1 Trillion In Bond Losses In Days: Second Worst Week Ever

Should bond yields rise again today, the week Donald Trump won the presidency will go down in history books as leading to the worst global bond rout in history.

Seven Suggestions For President-Elect Trump

Dear President-Elect Trump, more policy tweaks, more promises of more government free money and more symbolic gestures won't fix anything. You must dig out the rot in our system of governance, destroy needless and burdensome state-cartel-imposed costs and encourage transparency, competition, accountability and locally based community-economy solutions.

Copper Is Having It's Best Week Ever As Chinese Speculators Run Amok (Again)

Copper has never, ever, risen at such a torid pace as this week. Blowing away any week's performance of the last 30 years, copper futures are up almost 20% as hopes for US President-Elect Trump's infrastructure spending extended its winning streak to an unprecedented 15 days in a row (up over 28%). There is just one problem - just like we saw in Iron ore over the summer, speculation (reportedly from Chinese traders) is running wild.

Central Banks Intervene, Scramble To Halt Emerging Market "Carnage"; Futures Slide

Yesterday we wondered how long the broader market would ignore the carnage taking place across emerging markets, instead focusing on making the Dow Jones Industrial Average both great, and all time high, again. Today, we got our answer.

Hillary Is Down, But Not The Oligarchs (Yet)

In a country whose institutions have been so completely corrupted by the Oligarchy, it is difficult to achieve real change without bloodshed. If Trump is advised to be conciliatory, to hold out his hand, and to take the establishment into his government, the American people will again be disappointed.

Macroeconomic Realities Trump Trump Fear

by Alasdair Macleod, GoldMoney:
Macroeconomic realities trump Trump fear
Introduction
The outcome of the 2016 US presidential election has sent shockwaves through global financial markets. Gold largely reversed its 4% overnight rally and is now back to pre-election levels. This is evidence that gold prices are driven by macroeconomic realities rather than fear and greed. We believe that the election outcome changes little for the medium and long term path of the USD/Gold price as the real gold price divers remain strongly and asymmetrically skewed to the upside.

MILO Offers to Pay for Lena Dunham’s One-Way Ticket to Canada

by Lucas Nolan, Breitbart:
Breitbart Senior Editor Milo Yiannopoulos has made an open offer to Girls actress Lena Dunham to pay her full, first class, one-way ticket to Canada now that Donald Trump is the president-elect.
Many liberal celebrities made promises during the election cycle to leave the country if Republican candidate Donald J. Trump was elected. Now that he is the president-elect, it seems as if many are backing out of their commitment. Comedian Amy Schumer has openly stated that she won’t be leaving the country via a lengthy Instagram post, featuring a previously debunked photo of Donald Trump.

The Election That Had No Winner

by Jeff Nielson, Sprott Money:
The United States held a general election on Tuesday. Nobody won. Many will claim that Donald Trump won the election, as he is the person who gets to call himself “president” today. However, such a conclusion clearly flies in the face of the facts.
How did Donald Trump ever win the Republican nomination, in the first place? He won because the Establishment of the Republican Party had intentionally nominated a cast of lightweights, retreads, and utter incompetents. This was done in order to (supposedly) stack the deck in favor of one of those incompetents: Jeb Bush.

New WikiLeaks Email: Podesta May Have Cost Democrats the Election With Push for Obama Legacy

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:
Yesterday, WikiLeaks released a new email that synthesizes why Hillary Clinton and the Democrats suffered such devastating losses in Tuesday’s election, losing states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that should have been easy wins for the Democrats.
The email clarifies how Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Chairman, John Podesta, had created an impossible conflict in how he was running Clinton’s campaign: he wanted it to serve the dual role of embellishing President Obama’s legacy, thus muzzling Clinton on criticizing the President’s policies. It should have been readily clear that this was a losing gamble as tens of thousands turned out at Senator Bernie Sanders’ primary rallies as he called for a “political revolution” against the establishment in Washington while Clinton attracted modest crowds with her stay the course mantra.

The Defeated Left Turns to HATE: Liberals Unleash Beatings, Death Threats and Calls for Mass Murder of Trump Supporters

by Mike Adams, Natural News:
Now that the voters have wholly rejected the retarded, delusional leftist vision for America — which we might as well just call “liberal suicide” — the real character of the left is on full display. Today, angry liberals are turning to extreme violence and hatred, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, the assassination of Trump and the bloody beatings of all whites.
Yes, the racism, violence, bigotry and HATE of the left has finally come out of the closet.
I saw this coming, of course, long ago. If you’re a regular Natural News reader, you may recall my August 30th article entitled Chaos will erupt across America in less than 100 days… no matter who wins the election. Now, like clockwork, it’s all coming true exactly as I foresaw.

Midnight in America

by Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital:
Stunned political analysts are missing the most plausible argument explaining Donald Trump’s unexpected victory. The misreading of the American electorate stems from the political class’ acceptance of mistaken (and increasingly insane) economic dogma that has arisen over the past generation. Based on their flawed understanding of economics, the pundits could simply not understand why the electorate had become totally disillusioned.
According to the ideas favored by economists on Wall Street, in government, and in the Federal Reserve, Americans should be enjoying a marginally good economy. Unemployment is low, home values and the stock markets are high, credit is cheap and plentiful, prices are stable, auto sales are robust, healthcare is available to all, and GDP is growing, albeit at levels that are below optimal. These are conditions that would normally favor the incumbent party, and would discourage voters from taking a chance on an unknown who has promised to tear down the entire system. But that is precisely what happened. There can only be two explanations: Either Trump supporters were motivated by hatred strong enough to cause them to vote against their own economic interests, or they understood the economic reality better than the Ph.D.’s. I believe the people got it right.
