My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those involved in the terrible boat accident which just took place in Missouri. Such a tragedy, such a great loss. May God be with you all!

@ The News Blender reported on Thursday night, that a tourist boat carrying 31 people capsized in Missouri, the boat was part of, “a tourist attraction, “Ride the Ducks”, associated with the popular nearby entertainment town of Branson.” 11 people have died, including children, 14 people injured and 6 are missing.
Our thoughts are with the victims families and friends and those that have been injured.
UPDATE: 17 are now confirmed dead, none missing
China, the European Union and others have been manipulating their currencies and interest rates lower, while the U.S. is raising rates while the dollars gets stronger and stronger with each passing day – taking away our big competitive edge. As usual, not a level playing field…

….The United States should not be penalized because we are doing so well. Tightening now hurts all that we have done. The U.S. should be allowed to recapture what was lost due to illegal currency manipulation and BAD Trade Deals. Debt coming due & we are raising rates – Really?

For editorial thoughts on President Trump’s presidential pressure being applied to the Federal Reserve @ The News Blender.
Farmers have been on a downward trend for 15 years. The price of soybeans has fallen 50% since 5 years before the Election. A big reason is bad (terrible) Trade Deals with other countries. They put on massive Tariffs and Barriers. Canada charges 275% on Dairy. Farmers will WIN!

Bloomberg: According to the article, “mother nature is the real culprit,” when it comes to prices of U.S. soybeans, not “bad (terrible) trade deals.” The article explains that in 2012 soybean futures “soared to an all time high,” but in the seasons since, farmers in the “U.S. and Brazil, the top exporters,” had several back to back “bumper crops,” and as a result prices have slumped. The article does state that President Trump is right about the prices, it’s just not the whole picture. Soybean shipments have risen in recent years based on rising demand from China, which has “now put tariffs on American imports,” retaliating against President Trump’s tariffs imposed by the White House.
So important. Should have been done years ago! https://t.co/TFIqsaZWBt

Its been reported by many news outlets that NATO is unchanged, the Allied Nations, back in 2014, reached an agreement to increase their budget spending, on their own military to 2% of GDP, by 2024, this is not altered, the percent or date unchanged.
For what its worth
President Trump re-tweeted three of his own tweets and four from Dan Scavino Jr., who assists President Trump as the Director of Social Media.
