Earnings and data could be proof that slowdown fears were overblown </snip> According to Refinitiv, 74% of the companies reporting so far have beaten expectations. Based on forecasts and actual reports, earnings for the S&P 500 as a whole are expected to decline 1.7%, the first negative quarter in three years. Some forecasters had projected an earnings decline of 4% or more. The equivalent of the economy’s first-quarter report card will be released Friday, with the first reading of GDP. The outlook for first-quarter growth has suddenly shifted upward, after a series of better data releases later in the quarter. CNBC/Moody’s Analytics Rapid Update survey shows economists’ median forecast is now tracking at 2.4%, way above the 1% expected earlier in the quarter, when severe winter weather and the government shutdown were stifling the economy. </snip>

I was reading an attorney on another site who was trying to explain "intent" to people. This explanation is simple and easy to understand. I "think" a lot of what Mueller did in his report was "corrupt", and cannot disagree with this assessment. However, Mueller passed on some findings to the DOJ which opened other probes. Wouldn't that part - the FISA abuse, etc be redacted in this report as there are ongoing investigations dealing with it? I'm not trying to make excuses for Mueller (believe me, that is the last thing I'd do), just asking.

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread

My siblings and I went to a Catholic school. My father and aunt each taught for 35+ years. At dinner this evening I asked my niece how school was going (she's an ESL teacher). She said they have started looking for private schools for her daughter. The daughter is two... no way is she going to a public school. I could never have homeschooled; I'd have killed my son (that is not as much hyperbole as you may think). He went Catholic/private from preK-12. We chose private knowing he needed someone to sit on him (the typical smart but unmotivated, he'd rather have been playing a sport). So, going back a lotta years, I would not send a child to public school, and that was while my father was teaching in the system!! And while he was teaching in the system, he would not send his kids to public school, and that is going back even more years. I can only imagine it is worse today (and I live in a "desirable" school district). -
The mosque fire was in a guard's room not in the mosque. It was put out with a fire extinguisher.

Thanksgiving Game Traditions: Buffalo Edition
Buffalo_Gal replied to Peace Frog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My SIL cooks. We could be eating almost anything during the game and I wouldn't care because I'm not the one that had to cook it. Saying that, the turkey legs idea is fabulous! My mother is most unhappy when we are watching football before and after dinner (little does she know this year it will be during too). The turkey legs, bleu cheese, celery and carrots for dinner might just push her over the edge. I'm gonna suggest to my brother and SIL that we do it! ?
