A toxic trifecta for bondholders.China’s holdings of US Treasury securities plunged by a stunning $66.4 billion in November 2016, after having already plunged $41 billion in October, the US Treasury Department reported today in its Treasury International Capital data release. After shedding Treasuries for months, China’s holdings, now the second largest behind Japan, are down to $1.049 trillion.
At this pace, it won’t take long before China’s pile of Treasuries falls below the $1 trillion mark. It was China’s sixth month in a row of declines. Over the 12-month period, China slashed its holdings by $215.2 billion, or by 17%!

With only a a few hours left before leaving office it appears President
Obama is not going to officially pardon Hillary Clinton for any crimes,
since he has unofficially done so already.
Hillary will soon be at the mercy of an unforgiving President Trump.
New York Post reports:
Obama has pardoned or commuted the sentences of more than 1,000 people — in fact, he’s the most forgiving president in history. And while Hillary has until noon Friday to get a pardon for any crimes she may have committed, Obama as of noon Wednesday does not intend to pardon Madame Secretary.

Over the past couple of months, the radical left has been endlessly
hyping the protests against Donald Trump on January 20th and January
21st. We have been told that half the population absolutely hates
Donald Trump and that Washington D.C. will be filled with angry
protesters that are ready to take their country back. So where are
they? The radical left tends to talk a good game, but when it comes
time for action they often come up way short. At this point, it appears
that the much-hyped “war in the streets” that they were promising is going to be a giant dud.

When I read Trump’s defenders, such as Daniel Lazare, having to balance their defense with denunciations of Trump, I think the CIA’s propaganda is working. In his article, Lazare asks the rhetorical question, “Is a military coup in the works?” He then goes on to describe the CIA and presstitute coup against Trump unfolding before our eyes.https://consortiumnews.com/2017/01/14/the-scheme-to-take-down-trump/
Having described the unprecedented frame-up of the president-elect of the United States by the CIA and the Western media, Lazare has to square himself with those doing the frame-up:
“This is not to say that the so-called President-elect’s legitimacy is not open to question. . . . Trump is a rightwing blowhard whose absurd babblings about Saudi Arabia, Iran and Yemen reveal a man who is dangerously ignorant about how the world works.”

Obama has been a puppet president and a force of anti-American
ideology, preferring to treat people as plebs and dependents, rather
than as independent and proud individuals.
Never before in U.S. history has the political and social landscape been so sharply divided, and so much power titled towards the wealthiest few who pull strings and hold all the power.
At its root, the Obama administration was a lot of hype, a lot of pomp and circumstance for a cult of personality figure. Underneath it all, Barack Obama was little more than a front man for the bankers and war mongers.

Here’s why fake news anchors are so butt hurt about Trump
by Steve Watson, Infowars:
On the eve of the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President
of The United States, the following video highlights just how wrong fake
news readers were when they laughed and poured scorn on Donald Trump
last year when he announced he was running for office.
The video, put together by the Media Research Center, shows just how utterly out of touch the fake news media has become with everyday Americans, most of whom elected Trump because he represents everything that these spoiled elitist wannabes do not.

ike other pesticides, paraquat has been the subject of controversy for
some time now. In Switzerland, for example, the toxic substance has been
banned since 1989. The rest of the European Union has followed the
Swiss’ lead, including England — even though there is still a factory
there where paraquat is manufactured for export. (RELATED: Follow more news headlines on pesticides at Pesticide.news)
Even China has phased out the use of paraquat. In 2012, the Chinese government announced that the pesticide would no longer be used in order to “safeguard people’s lives.” China is not a nation that is recognized for its environmental protection policies. If they’re concerned about this pesticide, it stands to reason we should be too.
And yet, for some reason, paraquat is still available in the United States — even in spite of the growing body of research that suggests it is an extremely harmful chemical that likely causes Parkinson’s disease.

The Virginia House of Delegates voted 57-36
Wednesday to adopt a resolution calling January 22nd, the day that the
Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a constitutional right, a “Day
of Tears in Virginia” and saying “that
the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia are encouraged to lower
their flags to half-staff to mourn the innocents who have lost their
lives to abortion.”
“By making a visual step in support of life, hopefully we can help save lives,” Rockbridge Del. Ben Cline (R), who introduced the resolution, said at a news conference. “And ultimately, this is what that’s all about.”
Virginia House Democratic Caucus Chair Charniele Herring spoke on the floor just prior to the resolution’s passage, calling it “an insidious way to attack the dignity and privacy of women who have made a choice regarding their own life and health.”

The man who was compared to a Messiah when he won the presidential
election in 2008 has been on an excruciatingly long goodbye tour. First
there was his farewell speech to the United Nations in September. Next
came his farewell tour across Europe in November – the Messiah’s last
foreign trip. Then there was his farewell speech in the U.S. Yesterday,
there was a tortuously vacuous farewell press conference, which toward
the end, had the feeling that actors from central casting had replaced
real journalists in the press room in order to memorialize the greatness
of this President.
