U.S. Economy Explodes, GDP Booms At 33.1% Rate In Q3, Shattering Record

The previous post-World War II record was the 16.7% growth in the first quarter of 1950. The new burst came after a 31.4% plunge in the second quarter.

“We’ve never had anything remotely close to this,” Kudlow said Thursday on Fox News. “And let me add, this thing was kicking on all cylinders. Automobile production, for example, up over 1,100 percent in the third quarter, big numbers on consumer spending, big numbers on housing, big numbers on capital equipment machinery and manufacturing and so forth.”

Kudlow also said that inventories are depleted, “so inventories are going to be rebuilt. This quarter the momentum is going into the fourth quarter and will go into 2021, assuming policies are good. This is not a one time in fact this is going to go on. It’s a strong, strong recovery. The V shaped concept that I coined a while back, looking pretty good right now.”

The news wasn’t all good. Looking exclusively at the quarterly data, the nation’s GDP grew 7.4% in the third quarter, but it was a 9% decline a second quarter. Also, the economy is 3.5% smaller than it was compared to the end of 2019.

Kudlow said by late this winter or early spring, “we will regain all of the lost output that we suffered during the terrible pandemic contraction, this past winter, and the first half of the year. So it’s an optimistic view.”

Beto O'Rourke's Mother, Who He Says Is A 'Lifelong Republican,' Donated To Obama, Voted In 15 Of 17 Democratic Primaries

In March, with his mother, Melissa, on stage, O'Rourke said to supporters: "I want to announce in front of all of you, that my Republican mother is going to vote for me." And just last Saturday, he said: "I am the son of a Republican mother who we have convinced to vote for me in this election."

But CNN (of all outlets) reports that Melissa O’Rourke usually votes in Democratic primaries and donated to Barack Obama's campaign before he became president.

Ige was asked about that delay when he met with reporters after his State of the State address today, and he said that “I was in the process of making calls to the leadership team both in Hawaii Emergency Management as well as others.”

Ige added that “I have to confess that I don’t know my Twitter account log-ons and the passwords, so certainly that’s one of the changes that I’ve made. I’ve been putting that on my phone so that we can access the social media directly.”

Man Threatens To Smash Actor James Woods Over Head — Gets Totally Obliterated

James Woods is one guy you really don't want to mess with.

Woods said he was standing up to threats because bullies won't go away unless you do.

The biggest mistake people make is allowing others to threaten them. This stalker (he made several threats) is going to be held accountable.

And he warned against just ignoring clear threats, as one follower suggested.

How many women do think have had your attitude and ended up dead? If I stand up to terror, maybe I'll inspire a battered wife to do so, too. https://twitter.com/sggmuw/status/899151759834316800 …

Woods plans to see the whole ordeal through to the end.

I have been advised to keep the light on my stalker #MatthewEJacob as a way of inhibiting his acting on his threats. Here is relevant CA law pic.twitter.com/aQHZopRzMO

One way to get rid of the threat is to have that thug prosecuted and jailed. Go for it, James! Don't mess around

Way ahead of you. Thanks. https://twitter.com/toma_km5od/status/899354777318019073 …

And:

I urge all those harassed with violent threats to document the crimes promptly with @TwitterSupport. It helps police, FBI and attorneys.

So again, we say don't ever — ever — mess with James Woods. It will not go well.

Court Concedes DNC, Wasserman Schultz Rigged Primaries For Hillary

“The standard governing the motion to dismiss requires the court to accept all well-pled allegations as true for purposes of deciding the motion. Thus, the court recited the allegations of the Complaint that it was required to accept as true, and in so doing, acknowledged that the allegations were well pled. Indeed, if you look at the ... Complaint, you will see that all of these allegations accepted by the Court specifically rely on cite materials that are readily available in the public record, and they support the inference that the DNC and DWS rigged the primaries.”
