Boom..

Bank of America (BofA) suggests the US economy is moving away from the threat of stagflation and potentially towards a "cyclical boom". 

This shift is supported by factors like potential growth from Donald Trump's policies, increased AI investment, and a positive outlook for capital expenditures.

 "Regime Indicator" is also signaling a move from "Downturn" to "Recovery," historically associated with a rally in value stocks. 

BofA analysts believe the US has avoided the worst-case scenario of stagflation (high inflation and slow growth). 

The bank's strategists now suggest the possibility of a "boom" rather than just a cyclical recovery.    

Just a "Booming" thought.

Poll..

 

A new survey,  by Wall Street Journal ,   conducted by Democratic pollster John Anzalone and Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in three decades of WSJ polling, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party.

Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points

While voters still have significant concerns over the president’s and the Republican Party’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy, the majority of respondents nonetheless say they trust Republicans more to handle those issues in Congress.

Despite criticism of handling of inflation — the Republican Party, by 10 points, is trusted more than Democrats to deal with inflation.

Choice..

 

Inna Vernikov, aNYC Republican councilwoman, spoke to Fox News Digital about the prospect of New York City being run by socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

"I think it's a very dangerous situation we're in. I think we're looking at a chaotic city with lawlessness, after four years if Mamdani.

Comment:

The Democratic party is running after anyone who can have votes regardless of the message.

During President Donald Trump first term, the Democratic party embraced Michael Avenatti, the combative lawyer for a porn star...... He was convicted of trying to extort sportswear giant Nike.

The Question here is what does the Democratic Party's agenda?  Just a thought.

Deal ..

The U.S. and European Union agreed on trade terms that include a 15% rate on most EU products as well as hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in American industry.

President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met in Scotland on Sunday to iron out the agreement.

Trump said the EU will invest $600 billion in the U.S. and buy $750 billion of U.S. energy, with “vast amounts” of American weapons also in the mix. He also said the EU will be “opening up their countries at zero tariff.”

Community..

The early church, especially in its first century, was characterized by a strong sense of community and shared life. They gathered regularly, shared resources, and actively cared for one another, demonstrating a commitment to living out their faith in practical ways. 

This included sharing meals, possessions, and actively participating in each other's lives. 

Community Focus:  

The early church was deeply rooted in community. Believers met together frequently, both in public spaces like the temple courts and in homes, to share meals, fellowship, and learn from each other. 

• The early church actively shared their faith with others, leading to the rapid growth of the church. 

Owls..

A bipartisan parliament of House and Senate members today is calling on Congress to kill an expensive plan ordered by former President Joe Biden to shoot 450,000 barred owls bullying the endangered northern spotted owl in Northwest forests.

 The protected owl, which is found from British Columbia to northern California, has been at the center of several controversial environmental fights. The government estimates that there are between 3,000 and 5,200 of them versus millions of barred owls.

Critics of the Biden plan have called it expensive, wasteful, and cruel. Several wildlife groups also oppose the killings.

The Biden administration’s Fish and Wildlife Service agency plan to directly kill more than 450,000 barred owls, costing tax dollars over $1.3 billion over the next 30 years, is a waste of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars.
