The S&P just hit an ALL TIME HIGH. This is a big win for jobs, 401-K’s, and, frankly, EVERYONE! Our Country is doing great. Even killed long sought ISIS murderer, Al-Baghdadi. We are stronger than ever before, with GREAT upward potential. Enjoy!

Regarding “Facebook discloses malicious campaigns” (Business, Oct. 22): It shows inconsistency and bias that Facebook would take down a Russian state-backed disinformation campaign, but they would run President Trump’s 30-second video ad (the same ad was declined by CNN and NBCU), which falsely stated that former Vice President Joe Biden committed corrupt acts. Also, during Mark Zuckerberg’s Georgetown University’s speech with his full-throated defense of free expression, how would Zuckerberg have responded if someone in his audience at Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall had shouted “Fire!” in that crowded theater? Would he support that free expression of a lie, just as he supports the free expression of the lies in Trump’s Facebook ad? The First Amendment says “freedom of speech,” but it does not say “complete unfettered freedom” of speech, which means we are expected to exercise responsibility, and no one more so than the people who control the mass media of which Facebook is part.

It is becoming more and more clear that the Trump administration is dangerously unfit to serve our nation.
The situation that President Donald Trump has recently caused in Syria is both tragic and frightening. He makes impulsive policy decisions that carry do-or-die consequences, never bothering to consult experts or allies along the way. The damage that has been done to the Kurds as a result of his decision-making is unconscionable. And the damage to the United States’ reputation will be long-standing and difficult to repair.
When will Republicans stand up to this man? The party may have gotten tax cuts for the wealthy and had many conservative judges confirmed, but America’s credibility and national security have suffered dearly. Sen. Pat Toomey, please stand up for what you know is right.

The Fake Washington Post keeps doing phony stories, with zero sources, that I am concerned with the Impeachment scam. I am not because I did nothing wrong. It is the other side, including Schiff and his made up story, that are concerned. Witch Hunt continues!
