  1. There's a lot of stuff happening right now....the UN gave them until June 30th to come out of chapter 7 (which means they need to change their rate), there is a formal meeting scheduled for June 30th in which the UN will give Iraq back it's frozen assets. If they want their frozen millions, then they need to change their rate and come out of chapter 7 before the 30th. There's also some really interesting news on the CBI website. They are doing things they don't usually do. Something is definitely up right now and in my opinion, we are close to this happening!

  2. THE IRISH FARMER Paddy, an Irish dairy farmer, had a car accident. He was hit by a truck owned by the Eversweet Confectionary Company. In court the Eversweet Company's hot-shot lawyer was questioning Paddy. “Didn't you say to the police at the scene of the accident, I'm fine?” asked the lawyer. Paddy responded: ”Well, I'll tell you what happened. I'd just loaded my fav'rit cow, Bessie, into da...” “I didn't ask for any details”, the lawyer interrupted. ”Just answer the question. Did you not say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?'” Paddy said, ”Well, I'd just got Bessie into da trailer and I was drivin' down da road...” The lawyer interrupted again and said,”Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident this man told the police on the scene that he was fine...... Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.” By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Paddy's answer and said to the lawyer, ”I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie.” Paddy thanked the Judge and proceeded, “Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my fav'rit cow, into de trailer and was drivin' her down de road when this huge Eversweet truck and trailer came tundering tru a stop sign and hit me trailer right in da side. I was trown into one ditch and Bessie was trown into da udder. By Jaysus I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moanin' and groanin.' I knew she was in terrible pain just by her groans. Shortly after da accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning' and groanin' too, so he went over to her. He looked at her, considered her condition was terminal, then took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Den da policeman came across de road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, “And how are you feelin'?” “Now wot da fook would you say?” h.a.n.d.

  3. BREAKING: United States confirms Russia killed Isis Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: A U.S. confirmation on Friday that the Islamic State militant group’s media head in Afghanistan had been killed coincided with unverified Russian reports that ISIS’s global leader is also dead. U.S. forces in Afghanistan issued a press statement saying it verified that Jawad Khan, described as the senior director of media production for ISIS’s Afghanistan affiliate, was killed June 3 by a U.S.-led coalition airstrike in Achin, Nangarhar Province. The U.S. military has become increasingly involved in battling the rise of what’s known as ISIS-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), which is responsible for all six U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan this year. While previously overshadowed by rival hard-line Sunni Muslim group the Taliban, ISIS-K appears to be strengthening its foothold in the country, and the U.S. has attempted to curb its influence by taking out key leaders. “His death will disrupt the ISIS-K network, degrade their recruitment process and hinder their attempts to conduct international operations,” General John Nicholson, commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement. “There is no safe haven for ISIS-K in Afghanistan. With our Afghan partners, we will continue to aggressively target ISIS-K and defeat them.” http://investmentwatchblog.com/breaking-united-states-confirms-russia-killed-isis-leader-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi/

  4. Maliki's gov't plundered billions on useless weapons - MP June 16 2017 04:38 PM Nouri al- Maliki Member of Parliament Hakim al-Zamili has unveiled the scale of financial corruption in Iraq at the time when Nouri al-Maliki had served as Iraq's prime minister. In televised statements on Friday, al-Zamili said that Maliki's government has spent hundreds of dollars to buy advanced weapons and military equipment for arming the Iraqi army. He noted that this did not happen, adding that at the time the government has bought useless weapons and equipment through deals that senior officials signed to receive large commissions. When Maliki was a prime minister, embezzlement and corruption were thriving, he added. Then, the contracts committee has allocated billions of dollars for buying weapons, but nothing was bought. It also turned out that the government has bought some of these weapons at prices higher than they deserve. Moreover, some of the weapons were worn out or used in WWII. Some officials in the Ministry of Defense took bribes, he pointed out. All of the above mentioned has led to the Iraqi Army's defeat and fall of Mosul and Salahuddin governorates in ISIS grip in 2014. The parliamentary legal committee has recently requested the attorney general to reopen the issue of Mosul's fall in ISIS grip, a move that will lead to the trial of Iraqi officials, including former prime minister Maliki. http://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/story/12137/Maliki-s-gov-t-plundered-billions-on-useless-weapons-MP

  8. General admits U.S.-led coalition used white phosphorus in Mosul Listen | Print By Ken Hanly Jun 14, 2017 in World Mosul - New Zealand Brigadier General Hugh McAsian admitted that the U.S.-led coalition used white phosphorus during its operations in the Iraqi city of Mosul. McAsian said that around 28,000 civilians have managed to reach safety from Islamic State(IS) held territory during the last few days. He claimed: "We have utilized white phosphorus to screen areas within west Mosul to get civilians out safely." This is the first confirmation that the white phosphorus has been used in Mosul. Although the coalition claims to have control now of 90 percent of western Mosul the UN claims there are still tens of thousands of civilians trapped in an enclave controlled by the IS. Amnesty International has warned that the use of white phosphorus to produce smoke screens carries a deadly risk in urban settings noting that white phosphorus can cause "terrific injuries, burning deep into the muscle and bone". Sometimes the substance ignites weeks after being deployed creating even more danger. Amnesty documented the use of white phosphorus east of Mosul in 2016 and warned that its use near population centers "constitutes an indiscriminate attack and can be a war crime". White phosphorus is not banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention(CWC) but its legality is linked to the manner of its use. In 2005 Peter Kaiser a CWC spokesperson said that the phosphorus can be used to camouflage movement but should not be employed as a weapon. The U.S. admitted it used white phosphorus in the 2004 battle for Falujah in Iraq and also In Afghanistan in 2009. Israel used it in the 2008 Gaza war. Israel has signed but not ratified the CWC. Neither Egypt, North Korea, or South Sudan have even signed the agreement. Israel pledged in 2013 not to use white phosphorus any more. There are also allegations that white phosphorus is being used in Syria in the fight for the city of Raqqa held by the IS. An IS-linked media outlet Amaq has released footage that purports to show white phosphorus raining down on the city by night. While Amnesty International has not as yet been able to confirm the authenticity of the video footage it is nevertheless urging U.S.-led forces not to use the phosphorus in areas where civilians are trapped. One supporter of the campaign against the IS said that residents in the city are desperate for leaflets telling them where they can shelter during bombing campaigns. The intensified air strikes on Raqqa are taking a huge toll on civilians. The UN reports the strikes have killed at least 300 civilians in Raqqa since March. Paulo Pinheiro, chair of the UN Commission of Inquiry said: "We note in particular that the intensification of air strikes, which have paved the ground for an SDF advance in Raqqa, has resulted not only in staggering loss of civilian life, but has also led to 160,000 civilians fleeing their homes and becoming internally displaced." http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/world/us-led-coalition-admits-to-using-white-phosphorus-in-mosul-iraq/article/495101

  10. Timeline: How often was ISIS leader Baghdadi announced killed? June 17 2017 12:24 AM Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Russia said Friday ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had been killed in Su-34 and Su-35 multirole fighter airstrikes south of its stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria on May 28. The US-led Coalition said it could not confirm the Russian report. But this time was not the first to announce the terror group's commander's killing. September 2014: Photos and videos on social media said Baghdadi had been killed. But the photos and videos were fabricated. September 2014: Social media photos said he was killed in a US raid on ISIS terrorist strongholds in Iraq. November 2014: Media outlets said he had been killed in an Iraqi air strike. But ISIS-linked outlets denied the reports. November 8, 2014: Al-Arabiya TV confirmed Baghdadi succumbed to his injuries he sustained in US-led coalition airstrikes in al-Qa'im city in western Iraq. In 2015: Iraqi defense minister announced the death of Baghdadi in an air strike that targeted his convoy. An audio recording of Baghdadi denied the reports. December 11, 2015: Reports said he was killed in an air strike in Karbala. But the strikes left him only wounded and killed his assistant Abu Musallam al-Turkmani. In 2016: International newspapers reported the killing of Baghdadi in Raqqa. May 2017: Syrian media outlets said he was killed in Syrian air strikes on Raqqa. June 16, 2017: Russian Defense Ministry announced the killing of Baghdadi in a Russian strike in Raqqa. Al-I'tisam Media Foundation posted on Twitter, "We will publish soon the details of the killing of Caliph al-Baghdadi and the allegiance to the new successor". http://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/story/12156/Timeline-How-often-was-ISIS-leader-Baghdadi-announced-killed

  11. Thank you. I've always been around, but was busy with work and life etc. To me, IMO, I really think there is a chance we will see the RV before June 30th. If we don't, it's gotta happen sometime this year. It's so nice to see so much good news coming out of Iraq. When things are hot like they are right now, I am all over it! I hope all is well with you too!

  12. Excellent Post, 10 Years Later! I would like to emphasize this piece of your post. My opinion is the opiate of prosperity will go a long ways to keeping the historic violence at bay. I just don't see months, weeks, or years for things to improve. Iraq is literally precariously at the cusp of something that has never been in Iraq and Iraq internationally. Many countries are dealing with Iraq in it's current form that is distinctly different than with Saddam Hussein or before - and all for the better to integrate Iraq internationally so the high powered resources Iraq has can turbo charge not only Iraq's economy and standard of living but all the countries that do business with Iraq. That is why I lean toward a positive major credit rating's rating to indicate foreign investment will pour into Iraq. Alternately, insufficient results could make for an environment for Iraq to sink to a new low level with something worse than ISIS and more comprehensive. That is why I wholeheartedly concur with You that time is of the essence. And, Oh, Yes - a cranial rectal extraction is directly in order and long over due!!! Yep! End Of June will very likely be telling (and compelling)! Go Moola Nova!

  15. Thank You, 10 Years Later, for the excellent description of the Caretaker Government! My opinion only is the talk and rhetoric around the "Caretaker Government" is a not so veiled threat of corrective action to be put in place if the jokers/miscreants/goof balls do not get their act together in Iraq and in dealing with Iran. As with a lot of things, I don't think the exact definition needs to be followed entirely. So, in this case, I bolded the portion in your post that I think will be ignored if Iraq does not meet all the necessary requirements on the necessary schedule especially since US and UN elements are noted in the mix for the Caretaker Government from other news articles. President Donald J Trump is now our Demander (well, OK, Commander) In Chief and works things to his (in this case our - Make America Great Again) advantage and does not accept non compliance or resistance (works in the necessary favor of what is right for all, really). Yep, Yep - I can hear the "YOU'RE FIRED" now coming (in this case - really, really) soon (really!)! In my opinion, make no doubt about it! I find it interesting September 21, 2017 is the date noted for the Caretaker Government. Literally four (4) days later on September 25, 2017 is when the Kurdistan Independence Referendum vote is supposed to occur. Hmmmmm................... Wuz Up With That???!!! We may just find out. Will the Kurdistan Independence Referendum vote be held if the Caretaker Government is put in place? What happens if some other "emergency" occurs and the Caretaker Government is put in place before September 21, 2017? All the eager beavers and cockroaches are likely all scurrying about in Iraq and Iran trying to figure out where a secure chair is for them when the music stops even though we don't see them all doing this in the news. Iran, Soleimani, Maliki, corrupt dudes, the Kurshner 785 and a host of other things are likely in the sights in ways we do not even know about. A lot of crescendo now but may be anti climatic at some point - for reasons we will never see or know why. So, could be a lot of squirrelly things for a while. Or maybe things will fall in place as we think could reasonably happen. I do think Eid al-Fatr events will be telling by what we see - and don't see. If more positive news supporting Iraq's Sovereignty, imminent foreign investment, necessary laws passed, corruption effectively dealt with, UN sanctions removed, etc then we are likely on our way to our happy place(s). I suspect the "Caretaker Government" will get things set straight and things passed if necessary to be put in place. I just don't see this going too far out since reconstruction and other foreign investment needs to hit Iraq before external influences and sectarian violence leading to Civil War takes place. Any disruption on Iraq's ascension to Security and Stability could mean literally years before economic benefits in Iraq could be realized by Iraq and internationally since more sinister elements could take control of and in Iraq for the near term that could be longer than the three years ISIS had it's run. Just my opinion and Thank You again for posting the Caretaker Government definition! The Best Of Your Weekend To You! Go Moola Nova!

  16. The British grandmother Islamic State tried, and failed, to recruit "Nour Abdullah", 64, talks to The Telegraph at the home of a relative in Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan Credit: Sam Tarling for The Telegraph Josie Ensor, Duhok, Iraq 17 June 2017 • 1:43pm When Islamic State seized control of Mosul, Ellise Campbell had more reason than most in the Iraqi city to fear for her life. The 64-year-old British grandmother from Dunoon, Scotland, was sure she would be killed as soon as she was discovered. Instead, she found herself being courted by the jihadists. Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) asked her many times to pledge allegiance to the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but on each occasion she refused. “You wouldn’t think it, but being British, and my age, gained me some respect with Isil,” she says. “They thought I was a muhajir – one of those women who moved to Mosul to live under their caliphate, which was not the case, but it allowed me a bit more freedom than other women.” <img src="/content/dam/news/2017/06/17/abdullah2-small_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqgsaO8O78rhmZrDxTlQBjdGtT0gK_6EfZT336f62EI5U.jpg" alt="The Scottish English language teacher, who asked to have her identity concealed, lived in west Mosul under Isil, until Iraqi forces recently took back her neighbourhood." width="320" height="200" class="responsive-image--fallback"/> The Scottish English language teacher, who asked to have her identity concealed, lived in west Mosul under Isil, until Iraqi forces recently took back her neighbourhood Credit: Sam Tarling for The Telegraph Now safely in the city of Duhok in Kurdistan after her neighbourhood was liberated by Iraqi forces last month, the mother-of-three told The Telegraph...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/17/british-grandmother-islamic-state-tried-failed-recruit/

  18. I agree with you Bettyboop. I'm just like you too...a lot of people here know me, but newer people probably don't because of the same thing...life got busy, but I'm back because things are definitely heating up right now. My 2 cents...I think Mosul is done. I think having Trump as president has really helped Iraq to progress tremendously this year. I agree that this should happen before July. Can you believe that is only 2 weeks away?! That's cool about the medium. Hopefully she is right. I agree. I think it could happen anytime now, but they are always waiting on something....postpone, postpone, postpone. However right now we're not seeing many articles saying they want to postpone, so I take that as a good sign. They have come far....we all know that this just has to happen! The biggest question has been when. I think the World bank, the IMF and the UN are putting a lot of pressure on them right now to get it done. If it doesn't happen here soon then I think there's a big problem somewhere. From my research and reading, it looks to me that they are trying to make it happen. Fingers crossed!

  25. I basically gave this as a answer to a comment on another thread, and thought it may be good for others to read as well. So here it is. Synopsis: I have been strapped in a while for a while now. In it till the end. We have little to no choice. I hope our President Trump helps in creating the wave then rides this bus in on it asap, now, yesterday. In the mean time I suggest that we all work on getting our immunity to greed out of the equation, and getting more of God's purposes into the equation. Doing so without feeling the need to apologize. Then of course implement proper Godly wealth management to sustain the blessing we will all get from the dinar..Following the law of man, while only giving unto Caesar what is Caesar's and not 1 dinar more.Proverbs 24; 6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. It is a battle to invest during such times as these that we live in. Ecclesiastes 11New International Version (NIV) Invest in Many Ventures 11 Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight;you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. 3 If clouds are full of water,they pour rain on the earth.Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed[a] in a mother’s womb,so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.6 Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle,for you do not know which will succeed whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. Then there is the parables of the Talents. Matthew 25:14-30English Standard Version (ESV) The Parable of the Talents 14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a]and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ These coupled with my vision of the wine decanter continually pouring out fresh wine into a goblet to the point of over flow. While others get blest from just the overflow of the wine. This continues in a unending cycle. Invest wisely DV'r of God and bless those with whom God says to bless, and more will be given unto you/your charge like the Master who went on a journey. This is wisdom. It matters not if you think you are wise, or wise enough, to invest along these lines. After giving your life to God, you have invested your faith in Him who sits on the throne and at His right hand, who sends His Comforter and Counselor. God will then use you to confound those who think they are wise. Take care and God Bless ya'll. NYK

Over 40 IS Militants Killed in Airstrikes SE Kirkuk Basnews English 17/06/2017 - 20:32 Iraq ERBIL— More than 40 Islamic State (IS) members, mostly leaders from the organization, were killed in Saturday airstrikes southwest of Kirkuk province. Ali Hashim al-Hussaini, the official spokesperson for the Shi'ite paramilitaries of Hashd al-Shaabi, told Iraqi media outlets that on the basis of intelligence information the airstrikes were conducted and targeted a meeting of IS leaders in Hawija. As the blockade against the Islamic jihadists in Mosul is getting harder, the jihadists are trying to reinforce their ranks in Hawija. The Iraqi government is yet to announce any plans to liberate the town which fell to IS in 2014 and one which poses a constant threat against mainly the ethnically mixed Kirkuk province. http://www.basnews.com/index.php/en/news/iraq/358351

  32. At 10 cents, we would only cash in a little and hold. Iraq has said that it intends to float (pretty sure this in the news section on the CBI site). I strongly feel imo that it will be at least 1:1.

  35. Synopsis: I have been strapped in a while for a while now. In it till the end. We have little to no choice. I hope our President Trump helps in creating the wave then rides this bus in on it asap, now, yesterday. In the mean time I suggest that we all work on getting our immunity to greed out of the equation, and getting more of God's purposes in the equation. Doing so without the need to apologize. Then of course implement proper Godly wealth management to sustain the blessing we will all get from the dinar.. Ecclesiastes 11New International Version (NIV) Invest in Many Ventures 11 Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight;you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. 3 If clouds are full of water,they pour rain on the earth.Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed[a] in a mother’s womb,so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.6 Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle,for you do not know which will succeed whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. Then there is the parables of the Talents. Matthew 25:14-30English Standard Version (ESV) The Parable of the Talents 14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a]and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ These coupled with my vision of the wine decanter continually pouring out fresh wine into a goblet to the point of over flow. While others get blest from just the overflow of the wine. This continues in a unending cycle. Invest wisely DV'r of God and bless those with whom God says to bless, and more will be given unto you/your charge like the Master who went on a journey. This is wisdom. It matters not if you think you are wise, or wise enough, to invest along these lines. After giving your life to God, you have invested your faith in Him who sits on the throne and at His right hand, who sends His Comforter and Counselor. God will then use you to confound those who think they are wise. Take care and God Bless ya'll. NYK

  43. I posted a topic that went unnoticed, and I'm sure it was because of the lame title I gave it. Below is the OP. Bottom line, some are wondering if they raised prime for the third time since Trump was elected in order to crash the economy and cause backlash for Trump "The Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates three times since Trump was elected, but only once during Obama’s eight years. This has led to the suspicion that the Fed is trying to undermine Trump’s economic programs and his voter support." Lets ignore the fact the fed reserve is total bs, our currency is not money, and it isn't even good as toilet paper, it would probably scratch really bad. We live by the interest rates determined by the fed. I'm sure you are all very aware of this fact. Once you read the article below you may also tend to agree, it's a little of both. an attempt to derail the term, and an unwitting nod to the policies he has already managed to enact, which are sure to greatly increase the volume of the currency being circulated. Seems like even the UN controlled fed reserve can't help but jump to Trump's play...DM Yellen Hikes Interest Rates for THIRD TIME Since Trump Elected President – But Only Once in Obama’s 8 Years In the past 10 years there have been only four Fed Funds rate increases. Three of those increases have occurred since President Trump won the election on November 8th, 2016. No Fed Funds Rate increases took place between June 2006 and December 2015. CNBC reported in December 2015 that President Obama oversaw “seven years of the most accommodative monetary policy in U.S. history” (from the Fed). Finally, in December 2015 after the Fed announced its first increase in the Fed Funds rate during the Obama Presidency, it was reported that: The only other Fed Funds Rate increases since 2016 were after President Trump was elected President. The Fed Funds Rate increased on December 14, 2016, on March 15th, 2017 and yesterday June 14th, 2017 by .25%.
