    The expansion that began in 2010 looks increasingly likely to end the way expansions used to end back in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s - not with a dramatic financial crash, but smothered by rising interest rates.

    Average U.S. fixed-rate mortgages increase in the latest week to 4.90% for 30-year and 4.29% for 15-year, highs last seen in 2011

    Got it. Now name one of Grant's great victories.

    NBC News has totally and purposely changed the point and meaning of my story about General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses Grant. Was actually a shoutout to warrior Grant and the great state in which he was born. As usual, dishonest reporting. Even mainstream media embarrassed!

    Who said the Fascist in the Future will claim they are Anti-Fascist? Churchill said it in the 40's. Another little history lesson. And here we are.

    If you wear a jacket bedaubed with provocative slogans to show your critics you don't care ... then you really, really do care.

    Melania Trump tells she wore the ‘I really don’t care’ jacket “for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me. And I want to show them that I don’t care.”

    Maybe the deficit and national debt are being driven by out of control government spending, not people keeping more of their money? Just a thought.

    Good piece. Of course there is a big difference between Trump and Kushner. Trump engaged in many transactions that appear fraudulent. Kushners are perfectly legal. He does exactly what the law allows in fact encourages wealthy people to do.
