Authored by Paul Craig Roberts, Bannon is correct that the US media – indeed, the entire Western print and TV media – is nothing but a propaganda machine for the ruling elite. The presstitutes are devoid of integrity, moral conscience, and respect for truth. @TheLeadCNN @jaketapper You’re not the press, you’re fake news!!! pic.twitter.com/ei0rEfRpyF — ira (@idesignwis) January 26, 2017   Who else but the despicable Western […]

A growing chorus of condemnation rose from the tech sector on Saturday, with companies including Google, Microsoft and Uber issuing statements of concern over the new policy. The founders of many […]

Some of the synagogue members had signed on instinctually, so the Syrians would be helped the way their own parents or grandparents had been aided when they arrived in the United States. Others had joined as a way of countering Mr. Trump — just a few of the many Americans, of varied backgrounds, reacting with shock, outrage and concern to his curtailment of the country’s long-established refugee […]

They were among an estimated 110,000 people in line to be processed for resettlement in the United States during this fiscal year.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, has become one of the first chief executives to openly challenge President Donald Trump, criticising an executive order that pledges “extreme vetting” of immigrants and a ban on Syrian refugees.

But the president ignores the fact that Congress then restricted this power in 1965, stating plainly that no person could be “discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person’s race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence.” The only exceptions are those provided for by Congress (such as the preference for Cuban asylum seekers).

To make money in the Trump era, it pays to practise what you might call “reality-based investing”. Regardless of how the new president chooses to present events, Donald Trump’s administration still has to operate within legal, political and geopolitical constraints. Successful investors will be those who focus on the legislative and regulatory minutiae and on the realities of creating legislation on Capitol Hill. Trading in the bonds […]

In The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump described hyperbole as an “innocent form of exaggeration” that was a “very effective form of promotion”. In an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, the US president stretched this definition to the limit with his claim that he would make relations with Mexico “better than ever”, despite his demand that the country pays billions of dollars for a border […]

But in interviews with dozens of officials, analysts and ordinary citizens across Muslim-majority countries, there was overwhelming agreement that the order issued Friday signaled a provocation: a sign that the American president sees Islam itself as the problem.

Investors sought US technology shares this week, underlining the degree to which money managers are broadening their search for sectors that should benefit from a pick-up in spending by corporate America. There were inflows of almost $900m in the week to January 25 into funds invested in technology stocks, according to flows tracked by EPFR. “We think that there is going to be a more meaningful capital […]

Civil rights groups have also contended that Trump’s rhetoric about “sanctuary cities” is built on myths, including the belief that such cities block federal immigration agents from conducting enforcement. No city can block such enforcement, which is a federal responsibility. The concept of a sanctuary city is loose, with some cities, for example, issuing no more than proclamations that they welcome immigrants and others adopting official policies […]

(The 19 hijackers implicated in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack came from Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. None of those countries will be subject to what Mr. Trump described as “new vetting measures.”) Continue reading the main story During the 90-day period, the Trump administration will assess if the foreign governments on the list are providing enough information about citizens seeking visas […]

By Emily Stephenson and Mica Rosenberg President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that will limit immigration and refugees from some Muslim-majority countries and he separately said he wanted the United States to give priority to Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.

The Mexican peso rallied on Friday after Donald Trump and Enrique Peña Nieto spoke for an hour by telephone, a day after the Mexican president cancelled his planned summit with the US president over his plans for a border wall. “The presidents had a constructive and productive conversation regarding the bilateral relationship between both countries, including the issue of the US trade deficit with Mexico, the importance […]

Mexico has been in the crosshairs this week as US president Donald Trump held true to his campaign rhetoric and ordered the construction of a wall along the Mexican border, with White House press secretary suggesting a 20 per cent tax on imports could pay for it. With relations between the two countries on course for crisis, has Mr Trump done enough to scare investors away from […]

By Steve Holland and Elizabeth Piper | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, who share an unusual bond as the products of anti-establishment uprisings, will sit down on Friday for what could be a difficult search for unity on NATO, Russia and trade. The meeting will mark Trump’s first with a foreign leader since taking power a week ago, and it […]

Donald Trump will wade into the most contentious foreign policy issue of his tumultuous young presidency on Saturday, when he speaks to Russian President Vladimir Putin as he considers whether to lift Obama-era sanctions against the Kremlin. The call to Mr Putin, scheduled the same day as Mr Trump’s first White House calls with the leaders of Germany and France, will be his first chance to make […]

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, The Dow Jones Industrial Average provides us with some pretty strong evidence that our “stock market boom” has been fueled by debt.  On Wednesday, the Dow crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time ever, and this comes at a time when the U.S. national debt is right on the verge of hitting 20 trillion dollars.    Is […]

In such an environment, not only does a case for privileged access based on Washington tradition play into one of Trump’s core campaign narratives, but it also fails to anticipate the inevitable response from the White House: What use are you to us? With audience fragmentation and the rise of social platforms, the traditional media’s collective leverage over those in power has been diminished, and the Trump […]

Donald Trump’s first week as US president has re-energised Wall Street bulls while sharpening concern about the risk of higher inflation and trade protectionism. The sense of fatigue that hung over much of January has been replaced by renewed enthusiasm for equities, as investors sent the S&P 500 to fresh highs and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finally broke above the 20,000 threshold. As the billionaire took […]

Good morning. Is it the “opposition party?” Shortly after Steve Bannon, President Trump’s strategic and cultural Svengali, called the American press the “opposition party,” the opposition calmly sat on a Chicago stage and suggested the best path forward. Their response? Reasoned and tough-minded indifference. It’s a de facto prescription that might drive the new tweeter-in-chief and his sledgehammer-wielding sycophants daffy in their search for a Jacksonian revival. […]
