  • Do I have this straight? For more than two decades, hundreds of thousands of young British girls have been gang raped by members of principally one ethnic group. Efforts to stop these egregious acts have been curtailed by British government leaders and politicians, the media, and others because of concerns about prosecutorial efforts and media exposure of these crimes appearing racist, and/or due to the risk of loss of political support from members of this ethnic group.

  • Here is @espn “pausing in solidarity” with people angry about the “don’t say gay bill.” They shared a moment of silence for this, but couldn’t share the moment of silence for the terror victims in New Orleans on air. Absolutely indefensible. (video)

  • A guy shoots Trump in the head live at a rally “protected” by the Secret Service - No manifesto - No cell data - No texts - No emails - No interviews of parents - No footage of his home - No background - No accomplices This is the real cover-up.

  • Euro Stoxx 50 futures +.20%.
  • S&P 500 futures -.12%.
  • NASDAQ 100 futures -.13%.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher, boosted by technology and consumer shares in the region. I expect US stocks to open mixed and to rally into the afternoon, finishing modestly higher.  The Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the week.

  • As Hillary Clinton is given the Presidential Medal of Freedom today… • This is a reminder Hillary Clinton's State Department covered up an elite pedophile and human trafficking ring. • Her husband, Bill Clinton went to Epstein Island approximately 26 times and according to court documents, “Liked them Young” • Also, Laura Silsby and the Clintons were caught red-handed kidnapping and attempted Human Trafficking Children out of Haiti… The MSM covered it up. Laura Silsby changed her name to Laura Gayler after her release from detention in Haiti… She went on to become the Vice President of Marketing for AlertSense, a company that provides technology for issuing Amber Alerts… for missing children. Ain’t life grand?
