PIERS MORGAN: I’d rather trust Bernie Madoff with my money than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – so why the hell did Chase bank cave to her over their very sensible financial advice?



What’s the point of a bank? To make money, take care of our money and offer us professional guidance on how best to save our money. So it was entirely unsurprising to see Chase, one of America’s largest banks, tweet the following words of advice to its customers this week: ‘You: why is my balance so low. Bank account: make coffee at home. Bank account: eat the food that’s in the fridge. Bank account: you don’t need a cab, it’s only three blocks. You: I guess we’ll never know. Bank account: seriously?’.

It seemed like sensible advice, but provoked the ire of socialist firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and prompted a very snarky response which went down a storm with her 'woke' followers. Sadly the bank caved to AOC, deleted their tweet and later posted a groveling replacement saying: ‘Our #MondayMotivation is to get better than our #MondayMotivation tweets. Thanks for the feedback, Twitter world.’ Oh please, pass me the vomit-bag!

Hillary is known to be unstable and have impressive fits of rage.

But Barr is looking into her investigation and the Democrats keep giving him inspiration to do a thorough job.

PIERS MORGAN: While dumb, deluded Democrats pathetically screech about impeachment, Trump’s firing up the US economy so ferociously he could win by a landslide in 2020

Economic experts don’t get much more expert than Paul Krugman.
___________

Poor Krugman, whose sneering loathing for Trump knows no bounds, was almost inconsolable as he predicted financial Armageddon:

‘Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world’s most important economy would be very bad news. What makes it especially bad right now, however, is the fundamentally fragile state much of the world is still in, eight years after the financial crisis. Now comes the mother of all adverse effects and what it brings with it is a regime that will be ignorant of economic policy and hostile to any effort to make it work. So we are probably looking at global recession, with no end in sight.’

Other economic experts agreed with Krugman.

‘Under Trump, I would expect a protracted recession to begin within 18 months,’ declared former Clinton and Obama chief economist Larry Summers.

‘Trump would likely cause the stock market to crash and plunge the world into recession,’ asserted Simon Johnson, MIT economics professor.

The Washington Post entitled an editorial: ‘A President Trump could destroy the world economy.’

As predictions go, these are now all right up there with the ones confidently insisting Special Counsel Robert Mueller would find Trump guilty of Russian collusion.

Because none of them actually transpired.

Indeed, the complete opposite has happened.

After two-and-a-half years of President Trump, the US economy is in fact powering away and smashing records as it surges.

Today, it was revealed that 263,000 new jobs were added in April, massively higher than what was forecast.

Unemployment fell to 3.6%, the lowest number since 1969.

America now has record low African America, Hispanic and Asian unemployment, the lowest unemployment rate for women since 1953, and the quickest wage growth for workers in 10 years.

This comes after a whole week of other stunningly good economic news for Trump.

Last Friday, it was announced that first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.2%, after widespread predictions of just 2.3%.

On Wednesday, the US stock markets that Paul Krugman said would never recover hit record highs.

And yesterday, CNN published a new poll revealing Trump’s economic approval rating had hit a new high of 56% including double digit increases amongst those under 35 (up 16 points) non-whites (up 13pts), independents (up 11pts) women (up 10pts) and even Democrats (up 10pts).

With today’s jobs results, it’s reasonable to expect all Trump’s economic approval ratings to soar even higher.

And all this spells very BAD news for the Democrats, because good economies win elections as reliably as bad economies lose them.

Disturbing video shows Muslim children in a Philadelphia school singing about 'chopping off heads', martyrdom and 'defending Palestine with our bodies'



The clip, which was posted by the Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia last month, shows a group of children wearing Islamic headdress adorned with Palestinian symbols and colors. ‘Those who accept humiliation - what is the point in their existence?’ a child narrator in the film says. ‘Those who reject oppression are the ones who assert their existence, and they eliminate the injustice from the land of the Arabs.’ The Muslim American Society issued a statement on Saturday vowing to investigate the ‘unintended mistake and an oversight’. Jerusalem's Old City is seen in the inset photo.

Obviously the mistake was allowing the public to become aware of the video, not the song itself.
