The Conference Board said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index increased in February 131.4, up from 121.7 in January. That is the highest reading since November of last year and beats economists expectations for a 125 reading.
Consumers were happier with their present circumstances and more confident about the future, according to the Conference Board.

I have now spent more time in Vietnam than Da Nang Dick Blumenthal, the third rate Senator from Connecticut (how is Connecticut doing?). His war stories of his heroism in Vietnam were a total fraud - he was never even there. We talked about it today with Vietnamese leaders!

But not by Congressman Mark Meadows.
But rather by those on the House Oversight Committee who sadly placed more credence on the word of a self-confessed convicted perjurer, than that of a highly-educated black woman who rose up the ranks of one of the most recognized global real-estate companies in the world, spoke before 25 million people at the Republican National Convention and now successfully oversees the largest HUD program office in the country.
That is not the resume of a prop.
It is, however, the resume of someone who remains completely unfazed by the criticism of others and laser focused.
Today was simply about one longtime employee disputing the testimony of another longtime employee who both know the President extremely well. Period.
Since the release of my viral video in May 2015, those who know me can confirm that my steadfast narrative about the Trump family has not changed.
The only one of us whose narrative has changed is the one facing significant jail time. Period.
My presence today was to remind Michael Cohen that honesty and integrity still matter.
I do not have an NDA.
I do not have a book deal.
What I DO have is the truth on my side.
And when you have that, nothing else matters. ????

Judge Orders Release Of Christopher Steele Deposition
Find out who was paid for the information, that attaches the Democrats to paying foreign nationals, allegedly Russians.
Via Daily Caller:
A federal judge in Florida on Thursday ordered the release of depositions given by former British spy Christopher Steele and a longtime associate of late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain in a lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed regarding Steele’s anti-Trump dossier.
U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro overruled requests by Steele and David Kramer, the former McCain associate, to keep depositions they gave in the BuzzFeed lawsuit under seal. Ungaro dismissed a lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed on Dec. 19, 2018, by Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian businessman accused in the dossier of using his companies to hack into DNC computers.
The depositions by Steele and Kramer, a former Department of State official, are likely to shed light on how the dossier was compiled and disseminated to U.S. government officials and the press. Ungaro ordered the documents’ release for March 14.
Kramer, a former State Department official, provided the dossier to a BuzzFeed reporter Dec. 28, 2016, several weeks after meeting with Steele in London.

The news came after Trump lobbied China to take action against the country’s production of fentanyl, demanding the opioid be banned. Layton, who describes himself as a “conservative Democrat,” said the news out of Beijing, China has law enforcement “cautiously optimistic.”
E.W. (Bill) Priestap, assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, made the disclosure to Judicial Watch as part of court-ordered discovery into the Clinton email issue. U.S District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides, as well as Priestap, to be deposed or answer writer questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”
“This astonishing confirmation, made under oath by the FBI, shows that the Obama FBI had to go to President Obama’s White House office to find emails that Hillary Clinton tried to destroy or hide from the American people.” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “No wonder Hillary Clinton has thus far skated – Barack Obama is implicated in her email scheme.”

Labor organizations will no longer be allowed to skim dues money from the checks of Medicaid patients under new rules adopted by the Trump administration.
The Department of Health and Human Services's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services adopted a new regulation that will prohibit states from siphoning money from caregiver reimbursements to third parties. The rule takes direct aim at state policies enacted to enrich union coffers.

The Trump Administration's Department of Homeland Security has forced China's state-owned Cosco* to sell the Port of Long Beach over security concerns.
China's Cosco Shipping Holdings, which bought out its 75 percent–owned Hong Kong–based Orient Overseas International (OOCL), was forced to sell its Port of Long Beach Container Terminal ownership to Macquarie Infrastructure Partners for $1.78 billion.
The Obama administration had no problems with OOCL signing a 40-year lease with the City of Long Beach in 2012 for control of America's second largest and most automated container handling operation

No wonder that Pelosi seems so befuddled when she is on camera--she knows that there is no chance of actually impeaching Trump in the House, but is pressured by the far far far left of her party to pull the trigger. Botoxicity and senility are a sad mix to see in public.

WASHINGTON, DC: As British spy Christopher Steele finally agrees to be interviewed by US Attorney John Durham, the sordid truth about the Obama Clinton Russia Hoax begins to unravel. It is only a matter of time before the long-running campaign of illegal spying on Americans and the criminal use of NSA surveillance programs is revealed.
And laid at the feet of the Obama White House and Barack Obama himself.
All the way to the Oval Office
The United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, Durham has been on the case since at least October 2018. His first actions being conducting a criminal leak investigation of DOJ official James Baker. Baker is at the center of the FBI conspiracy with Comey and Andrew McCabe. (Ex-top FBI lawyer James Baker: DOJ inspector general FISA probe will find ‘mistakes’)
With every new revelation about the corrupt attempts to exonerate Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump emerges, the trail leads inexorably to Barack Obama’s inner circle.
From spying on Americans to the framing of George Papadopoulos. To the launching of a counterespionage operation against Donald Trump, and abusing the FISA court process.
Crimes were committed at the highest levels of the government that could only have occurred with the knowledge and participation of the occupant of the Oval Office.
At the nexus of the whole affair is President Obama. It simply could not have happened without his knowledge and consent, if not his instructions. It is obvious that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did conspire with the CIA Director John Brennan, the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and the head of the FBI James Comey.
Together they set forth to frame Donald Trump with Kremlin disinformation in the form of the Steele dossier. Weaponizing the CIA, DNI, DOJ, and FBI to fraudulently launch a counterespionage investigation. Abusing the FISA court in the process. Their tools included leaking classified documents. Targeting the incoming President with the phony Steele dossier.
Launching a heavily biased Special Council inquisition using the same conspirators who framed Donald Trump in the first place.
It was all a nefarious conspiracy to paralyze the government and attempt to overthrow the will of the people, the Constitution, and the legitimately elected President of the United States.
“POTUS wants to know everything”
Does anyone think for a minute that this just occurred naturally? It is inconceivable that the CIA, State Department, DOJ, and FBI could be conducting this type of subversively delusional operation without the direct knowledge and approval of the President himself. Proven by his own cabal’s words.
“POTUS wants to know everything” Peter Strzok texted his co-conspirator Lisa Page on one occasion. “The White House is running this”, on another occasion.
