If Hitlery wins, he goes full scorched earth, No Fly Zone (NFZ) be damned and flushes all ISIS out of Syria for Assad while Obama is the sitting duck pussydent. Remember how Obama double crossed Medvedev and Putin with his “After the election I will have more flexibility” BS.
On the longshot that Donald wins, Putin stands down and waits for a phone call from Trump to see if he is serious about getting out of Dodge because he understands Syria is in the Russian sphere of influence, just like Crimea. You mind your business, I’ll mind mine and together planet Earth is safer?
Option 3, Pax Americana rolls over Syria before election and we are on the brink of WWIII.

Well, imho one of your best posts to date. Every now and then you seem to relax back and fire away on target. The old saying that even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then seems to fit the bill here and now. Forgive me for being such a cynical reviewer but, I think it comes with age…my age. Still you seem to be caught with a chip on your shoulder in that you have yet to understand that what goes around comes to you as well…in time.

Did Al Gore not protest the 2000 hanging chad outcome?
Did Bob Creamer and Scott Foval not quit/get fired over exposing vote rigging just three days ago?
And all the bluster over Trump’s wait and see comment? Just from the sidelines of Canada the audacity and hypocracy is overwhelming.
Now could some unbiased opinion chime in on the guts of this election. What are the chances of The House, Senate, Presidency and Supreme court all going Democratic? Do the Repubs get completely obliterated?
If so stick a fork in your country until CivilWarII commences.

Evidently, in September the global powers thought the USA had enough lower dollar stimulation, and rotated low currency value stimulation to all the other countries at our expense.
Just when the Dollar started to roll over few days ago, and Mario Draghi gets on TV this morning and pushes the dollar back up with only words.

Yes , I remember The House of Blue Lights on Gratiot back in the late 50’s . At the time Gratiot was THE highway coming into Detroit from the north ( Port Huron , Mt. Clemens , etc.) . What I do not know is if the place was named to cash in on the fame of the song , which was very popular in the area , or if the song was written about the place . I suspect the latter , but cannot be sure of it .

Farmboy – hopefully the locals will take care of the integrity of the voting. We know there’ll be places like Philadelphia and Chicago where there will be rampant fraud regardless.
Mr. Copper – I guess for now the USD is still the best of the worst. Ingenious system they created when they took a basket of worthless fiat and played them against each other. You could be right about the intentional devaluation of the Euro for now but ultimately I have to believe that all fiat and world stock markets are going down in flames. Definitely agree with you that if Trump is elected the USD and SM gets trashed immediately.

Mario Drahgi EBC guy was just yapping and it pushed dopey/dollar higher, and all the other currencies inverse lower. Maybe they are going against the US to protect or help their own economies. Maybe after Trump gets in the dollar gets lowered to help the US economy.

when Hillary wins the Election by 97% of the votes.
For the record I agree with you that the polls are way off. And I think Trump voters will far exceed the Hillary votes in real numbers. What those voting machines will tabulate is another matter.
We fight the good fight, we carry on. And we pray. 🙂

He could be crazy as a loon, or…??
I think he is trying to save his country from the drug dealers, although his measures seem extreme at times. But hey, maybe he is trying to head off a similar situation like we see in Mexico where the cartels run the country. I dunno.
Another thing I ponder is there is a good size Muslim population in the Philippinessti and I wonder if Obama is trying to stir up things for the Muslim Brotherhood in that region like he has done in the ME.
I am getting used to going to bed at night and setting the alarm clock to CRAZY. Lol 🙂

I’m not sure what we did to push them away … beyond the usual arrogant arm twisting. Personally I think Duterte has a screw loose. In a year he’ll likely be telling China and Russia: FU etc.

It’s a pleasure…..Hopefully Yr election is the next step to cleaning the system, but no matter how much crap is thrown/spoken, the same is going on all over Europe as the EU falls apart and new partys spring up.
I see it as an unstoppable force and the only way it can be stopped is by Martial Law, as long as fair elections take place, the bums are gonna be voted out, as they have screwed too mny people, for too long.
One fact I have always admired about the US is, if it don’t work, then throw it out and it ain’t been working since 2000 in the US and hopefully that is what will happen.
Cheers

I hear you about getting exhausted by the endless stream of negative stuff about Trump while the real corruption of Hillary and Obama are ignored by the media. I don’t believe the majority of the polls, I’ve heard the pundits talk about how even Texas could be in play which Governor Abbott said was a joke.
There are also real polls out there like Rasmussen, USC/Daybreak showing Trump with a lead. The media is trying to deflate us – including FOX.
I really believe that Trump voters will be out in force and there are a lot of them that won’t admit they are voting for him until they get to the voting booth.
Maybe I’m too hopeful, we’ll see.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced his “separation” from the United States on Thursday, declaring that it had “lost” and he had realigned with China as the two agreed to resolve their South China Sea dispute through talks.
Duterte made his comments in China, where he is visiting with at least 200 business people to pave the way for what he calls a new commercial alliance as relations with longtime ally the United States deteriorate.
His trade secretary, Ramon Lopez, said $13.5 billion in deals would be signed
Duterte’s efforts to engage China, months after a tribunal ruling in the Hague over South China Sea disputes in favor of the Philippines, marks a reversal in foreign policy since the 71-year-old former mayor took office on June 30.
“America has lost now,” Duterte told Chinese and Philippine business people at a forum in the Great Hall of the People, attended by Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli.
“I’ve realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to (President Vladimir) Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world – China, Philippines and Russia. It’s the only way,” he added.
