  8. Recession indicator with perfect track record flashing red The yield curve is blaring a recession warning. The spread between the U.S. 2-year and 10-year yields on Wednesday turned negative for the first time since 2007. Such a development has occurred ahead of each and every U.S. recession of the last 50 years, sometimes leading by as much as 24 months. “Historically, the 2-10 has had better predictive ability of recession than equities,” Sri Kumar, president of the Santa Monica, California-based Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, told Fox Business. “If you depended on equities to tell you whether you are entering into a recession you did not do well. For example, October, November of 2006, exactly one year before the Great Recession began, the 2-10- inverted. Equities did well in the first half of 2008 when we were in a recession and oil prices hit a peak in May of 2008 when we were very much in a recession. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/yield-curve-inversion-signals-recession German economy shrinks as 'golden decade' comes to an end Germany's economy shrank in the second quarter as global uncertainty and the trade war took a toll on its manufacturers. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/14/business/germany-economy-gdp/index.html
  9. If Biden gets the nomination he would need an exceptional VP he would listen to. So far I'm not that impressed with anyone running so far. Biden would need a good speech writer to get his beliefs across , no more ad lib.
  10. I always liked the whopper till I had to switch to vegetarian to bring cholesterol down. I like Morning Star veggie patties ( frozen food) The Buffalo Chik patties taste great and are nutritious. Here is one review I found for the impossible burger The plant-based burger craze is sweeping the nation, but consumers should be wary of consuming them as part of a healthy meal. https://www.cookinglight.com/news/is-the-impossible-burger-healthy
  11. I would not risk trading Dawkins , Nsekhe or Ford, protecting Allen is too critical. The Bill's D will be fine.
  12. I'm glad he refused to go to Miami. Sounds like he will play under the tag.
  13. Could the traded draft pick be conditional to Clowney signing a long term deal after next season ?
  14. Here's more comparison to Aaron Donald https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/28/ed-oliver-pro-day-aaron-donald-comparison-nfl-draft/
  15. A former NBA player was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for possessing a loaded gun Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Monday. "This defendant exercised his right to a jury trial and was found guilty of possessing an illegal firearm," Gonzalez said in a statement. "The mandatory prison sentence he received today is required by law and he has now been held accountable for the unlawful conduct." https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/13/sport/former-nba-player-gun-sentencing/index.html That is way too harsh if the rest of his record is clean. I thought 1 year was the sentence in NYS
  16. Donald Barr: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know The father of US Attorney General William Barr hired a young college dropout named Jeffrey E. Epstein to teach math at the Dalton School in the 1970s. The convicted sexual predator was 21 when the college prep school headmaster Donald Barr engaged him in the early 1970s as a physics and calculus instructor. A report said he was hired in 1973, but it appears Barr hired him in 1974, the same year that Barr would leave the school after a decade as headmaster. https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/donald-barr/ Odd coincidence , interesting though.

  17. Epstein called criminalizing sex with teen girls a 'cultural aberration': report “He said that criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration and that at times in history it was perfectly acceptable,” Stewart wrote. “He pointed out that homosexuality had long been considered a crime and was still punishable by death in some parts of the world.” Stewart also recalled that when he showed up at Epstein’s residence he was greeted by a young girl with blond hair and an Eastern European accent. https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-sex-teen-girls-cultural-aberration

  20. Russia warns Google against election 'interference' London (CNN Business)Google has been warned by Russia's state communications regulator to stop "advertising" protests on YouTube ahead of local elections in Moscow. The watchdog, called Roskomnadzor, said in a letter to Google on Sunday that it considered advertisements and push notifications that publicize protests as "interference" in its domestic politics. Tens of thousands of people rallied in Moscow over the weekend calling for fair local elections. More than 200 people were detained, according to OVD-Info, a group that monitors police. Protesters have gathered in Moscow for five weekends in a row demanding that authorities allow independent candidates to take part in city's upcoming local elections. Some protests have been sanctioned by authorities. While it's not clear which specific accounts or channels Roskomnadzor was referring to, several YouTube accounts broadcast the protests live. If Google does not take corrective action, Roskomnadzor said in a statement that it would respond to what it regards as attempts to obstruct "democratic elections in Russia." https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/12/tech/russia-google-youtube-protests-election/index.html

Seemed like the FBI did a good job with Anna Chapman and Cynthia Murphy Russian spies The Illegals Program (so named by the United States Department of Justice) was a network of Russian sleeper agents under non-official cover. An investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) culminated in the arrest of ten agents and a prisoner exchange between Russia and the United States on July 9, 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegals_Program
  24. I read the Sara Carter interview with Patrick Byrne . He said he had a relationship with Maria Butina and kept the FBI informed. Her lawyer blames the FBI for not disclosing this at her trial. I don't see what big news he has. https://saraacarter.com/russia-probe-twist-a-billion-dollar-ceo-a-convicted-russian-agent-and-the-fbi/
