  3. I understand your concern Jaygo, however look at this BIO. I think there's more to her than meets the eye. Not making the case either way for her. But look what could happen if she were to be appointed. The LEVERAGE for the USA could have far reaching implications. Not sure if that would be good or bad. The game of Global Musical Chairs is/has been in full swing now. It's a long read . . . I think she's DJT's secret weapon. To plug her in to the WB would be a huge deal maker for the man who knows the " Art of the Deal." Synopsis published a shorter version of her resume` in here for the folks. Like it or not she is a Force. . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanka_Trump

  4. At least one to one Yep she does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! University of Pennsylvania: Like nearly all of the Trump family, Ivanka would later earn her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. While there, she majored in finance through the world-renowned Wharton Business School. She would go on to graduate from her program cum laude. The University of Pennsylvania is considered part of the Ivy League and was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1740. It’s 1100 acre campus is home to approximately 10,000 students. In its centuries of operation, UPenn has helped produce 14 heads of state, 25 billionaires, and more than 33 US senators.

  5. “Iraq is expected to record 6.2% GDP growth” The GDP growth rate is the most important indicator of economic health. When GDP growth Business, jobs and personal income also growth How iraq is going to accomplish this growth in a Closed Economy with exchange control? Maybe the WB knows something we don’t know.

Robert F. Kennedy, brother of former President John F. Kennedy, served as the 64th United States Of America Attorney General during John F. Kennedy's Presidential term so appointment based on noted qualifications for any particular role is precedent over any affiliation to an elected or appointed person during the term of the office. It is unfortunate that some are so myopic utilizing cherished hipster glasses as not to identify and acknowledge actual facts in ANY particular matter thereby unaccustomed and acquainted with reality in actual practice. Go True The United States Of America Patriot President Donald J Trump!!! Go Ivanka Trump as the NEXT World Bank President like PRONTO!!! In The Mean Time............................................................................................................... Ivanka Trump As The Next World Bank President............................................................ AND (of course).................................................................................................................. Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY, READY WHEN YOU ARE BROTHER (OR SISTER) - LET 'ER BUCK!!!)!!! Which Is Likely Why Ivanka Trump MUST Be The Next World Bank President................

  12. 1-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE THREE PRESIDENCIES MEET POMPEO AND THE LATTER RENEWS HIS COUNTRY'S SUPPORT FOR IRAQ" Article quote: “activation of economic cooperation and investment between the two countries”. They are about to get this ball rolling from this 2018-2022 reconstruction plan. This plan, as we know, hinges on reinstating their currency. Why? They will need “free flow” of capital in and out of Iraq and they can not do this having to go to currency auctions and keep converting dinar to dollars. Get it? They will need automated, international systems to transfer money and these systems use the global currency exchanges to convert the currency to the proper exchange rates... 1-11-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni People ask me all the time..."why is it that a float is the only solution for Iraq?" Because it is the only way to gradually reduce the money supply as the dinar appreciates in value as a result of investment to reduce inflation. ...a mythical RV or RI...Never happening as there is to much (over 40 Trillion) dinar in circulation. Can never happen. Only a float at this point could work. There will never be a $3-$4 exchange rate of the dinar. Total nonsense. Iraq is trying to rebuild and create GDP not go broke paying out on a currency exchange...Monetary policy is pretty well documented for emerging market economies. 1-11-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL Another weekend is coming and with it come possibilities of an end to our journey. Are we there yet? That remains a question that will not be answered until you are at the bank. I am encouraged. 1-11-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I am probably more positive than I ever been the last 14 years. The fact we expect it very soon, very shortly. ...things are moving along nicely. We are moving through and you know I can’t call it because I do not know it, but I tell you I think we are looking very strongly over the next few days. Might have a great weekend...additionally...a lot of the rates were flashing...but...when we get ready to go the rates will be solid and maybe they will move a little bit up and down. That is okay. That is part of the Forex, part of trading, but I tell you this much about the Dinar, they had to increase the size of the screen vertically on Forex because of the increase that is anticipated for the Dinar. Two inches. They increased the height of the screen because of the curve that is going to take place of the Dinar going up. It would have run out of space. ...We are in great shape... we are looking at a real strong weekend...I think we are just about at the end of the ride... 1-11-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 On the 30th, of December, lifted the 3 zeros electronically. What I’m about to share with you is public knowledge. Why doesn’t the Internet know? You...have the ability and privilege to receive our study from [Guru] Walkingstick. Because Walkingstick is working with the Government of Iraq. On the 30th of Dec. 2018, WS firm received 240 contracts from the GOI. They started internally. 24 of them, have already been PAID. They were paid in IQD. The term of acceptance: 30 day contracts. Of the 240, 24 already paid in IQD. That’s exactly what Iraq has to do. I want you to know that these 240 contracts and the 24, they were paid at a rate of 1:1. Those contracts will start on January 13, 2019. Details on other firms is unknown to us. Believe they are similar and paid in IQD at 1:1. .........It would be awesome if this is true, but we wont know for a few days. There isn't any evidence out there that this has actually taken place....but, we can all hope and pray that it did, and will be validated by the CBI at the appropriate time..! We shall soon see..! .....RON

  17. Impact of trade exchange (Iraqi-Iranian) The dinar and its impact on the national currency Ahmed Hazal Since the Islamic Republic of Iran entered into the second package of sanctions imposed by the United States, which includes two important sectors are the energy sector and the banking sector, and raised some questions on the impact on the Iraqi economy if the exclusion of trade between Iraq and Iran, Excluded some countries, including Iraq for (90) days, to settle the accounts related. Suppose Iraq and Iran signed an agreement that would lead to dealing with the dinar and riyal. What is the impact on the Iraqi dinar? The demand for money and the exchange rate is a positive one, and I mean the price of the dinar against the dollar. The higher the demand for the dinar, the higher the value of the national currency. And the increase in the volume of foreign reserves in the Central Bank and this will enhance the ability of the Central Bank to defend the dinar against any future dollar demand, especially that Take care Cash Attiyat cover the needs of the country for more than 9 months. This exceeds the standards set by international financial institutions. The reason is that the monetary demand function is moving to the top rather than the demand only, as a result of changing the method of repaying foreign trade receivables in Iraq in dinars and not in dollars. In the case of a monetary cash leak from Iran and dollars for Iran on the black market without legal controls, the equation will be reversed. Presenting the dinar at home The central bank is exposed to pressure in the exchange rate and sells large quantities because of the increase in the dinar. There should be a unit of measurement for the two currencies, and the most accurate currency is the dollar, but will the US accept that the dollar is the criterion for determining the values of the two currencies? This is what we will touch in the coming days after the continuation of the Iraqi-Iranian agreement. https://annabaa.org/arabic/economicarticles/17857

  24. UAE: OPEC is not an enemy of the United States 01:20 - 12/01/2019 ( Reuters) - OPEC is not an enemy of the United States, UAE Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazroui said on Saturday. "The two parties are complementary to each other and there is no hostility between them," Mazroui told a news conference in Abu Dhabi in a commentary on relations between OPEC and major oil consuming countries such as the United States. In December, OPEC member states and major producer nations led by Russia agreed to cut oil production by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) from January to seek market balance. The decision came despite calls from US President Donald Trump to the oil-exporting countries to refrain from cutting production, saying that this will cause the increase in global crude prices.

  25. I find it odd that some recalcitrant and incorrigible posters lack the nous so as to pin the state of the entire nation and THEIR OWN personal well being on THEIR OWN personal affinity toward the person in ANY given elected or appointed position whereas to simultaneously deny the imperative nature of ACTUALLY observing the Division Of Powers as noted in the specific sections of The Articles Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America for the elected and appointed persons. The duping of the Citizens Of The United States Of America should, and REALLY must, be the primary concern to rectify the ensuing ill state of affairs AND terminate the behaviors of such perpetrators AND exercise Rule Of Law for the culpable. For far too long the elected and appointed officials have maintained a double standard of declaring one thing and doing quite another with the ill effects implemented and practiced in plain sight without proper identification and presentation to the public by the media conglomerates collectively known as "the press". The future well being of those in stolid denial is compromised if the requisite outcome is NOT interdicted while the self fashioned just cause of the recalcitrant and incorrigible is fixated on ANY elected or appointed official contrary to THEIR Personal Affinity as a distraction whereas believed to be a necessary justice to decry the characteristics of the elected or appointed individual OUTSIDE the Division Of Powers as noted in the specific sections of The Articles Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America. The Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights is sought to be disabled to remove said protections for the promotion and advancement of ALL that would enslave and reduce to despotism those that no longer enjoy said protection by enemies within AND without. Also notable is the propensity of the recalcitrant and incorrigible sans of Reason AND Common Sense to fail to recognize the proactive nature of elected and appointed persons to proactively and comprehensively exercise the corresponding duty to ensure the free exercise of EVERY Citizen Of The United States Of America possessively upholding The Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights as THEIR personal, noted, and rightful possession thereof for THEIR own enjoyment and collective beneficiary of We The People as Citizens Of The United States Of America. As a necessary duty of one's own natural inclination is to ardently support elected and appointed officials exercising the Division Of Powers as noted in the specific sections of The Articles Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America as True The United States Of America Patriots. ANY consistently exercised practices contrary to those upholding The Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights by the recalcitrant and incorrigible notably self denotes THEM of being an enemy within of the True The United States Of America Patriots. The recalcitrant and incorrigible refuse to acknowledge and practice those essentials for THEIR OWN well being for THEIR OWN enjoyment and benefit with subsequent amicable and peaceable relations with True The United States Of America Patriots. In light of OBVIOUS fact, the recalcitrant and incorrigible are openly welcomed to enjoy the enlightenment offered as a state of freedom NOT currently enjoyed due to the present and perpetual inextricable adjoining of THEIR "cognition" AND "safe space".

  30. Adam mention this in his last update. Now, think about this little tidbit... you may have noticed at the very top of that page that Iraq has "confirmed their commitment to participating" in the oil productions cuts. But, as a savvy reader who remembers the details, you also know that Iraq was not specifically included in the original OPEC agreement. Iraq is essentially standing on the sidelines, voicing support, encouraging the action... but reserving the right to step back from it and swoop in on some profits once they are there again, while everyone else frantically tries to organize a vote to release themselves from their self-imposed restrictions. At that point in time, Iraq will have all the time they need to successfully execute a couple days or even weeks of trading, exchanging currency with higher values and reaping profits on said exchanges, and everyone wins. ————————————————————————————————————————————————- We get this in the news. OPEC’s second-biggest producer will hold its production at 4.513 million barrels per day, for the next 6,months. Iraq’s commitment to the latest deal is critical to the cartel’s success, and not just because it is OPEC’s second largest producer. In the first round of production cuts, Iraq was the largest overproducer and least compliant member of the group. Thanks for the post Pitcher. Go oil production Go RV Go $1:1

Nassif responds to the attackers: Whoever fights corruption expects an attack of the most infamous and despicable 11:22 - 12/01/2019 Baghdad - Mawazine News Parliamentarian Alia Nasif confirmed on Saturday that those who fight corruption expect an attack to be expected in a way that is counterproductive in ways that are extremely weak and despicable. The media office in a statement received / Mawazin News, a copy of it, that "the unprecedented attack and campaigns of systematic punctuation that was exposed to the deputy Nassif by internal and external parties in recent times did not succeed in achieving its endeavor," noting that "who fights corruption must To expect a counter-attack by means of the very thin and dirty. " "Any deputy who is sincere in representing his voters and defending their rights under the parliament may be able to fight one corrupt party or corrupt official. In this case his enemy will be known, but MP Naseef has opened several fronts to fight corruption, whether in the previous parliamentary sessions or In the current parliamentary session, and anyone can review the statements and statements issued by them and count the number of corrupt who hit their interests after they revealed their corruption and theft, contracts and deals. "These corrupt people, if they met with the means they could destroy a whole country, then how if they wanted to take revenge on a parliamentary fighting alone and risking her life and the safety of her family? The media office added that "this is at the internal level, and outside, the last thing we expected was the entry of Israeli parties on the line to attack MP Naseef. The fact that the game was orchestrated by a spy who acquitted the Kuwaiti people soon became clear. Mubarak and Khawr Abdullah and to this day, who can stand up to all these attacks without standing by any political or official by a statement or statement? He said: "While we thank many honorable citizens who stood by their sister Alia Nassif in social networking sites and expressed their solidarity with them, we assure you that they will not stop fighting corruption and exposing the public money. This war is bearing fruit after the response of Mr. President Prime Minister, thanking one of its previous statements and advising him to stop the contract of the Ministry of Defense with the Chinese company listed on the black list, the contract was canceled under the letter No. 18 on 5/1/2019, which means that there are those who respond to our calls and stop the mafia corruption alone, "End of 29 / p

  40. If we had the funds for real Border Security to find the tunnels, it would be as easy as taking candy from a baby to stop that activity. In the Sinai Dessert the US put sensors all over the peninsula to protect both Egypt and Israel from each other. That was done almost 40 years ago using sensors that could detect a mouse. The entire operation was enforced by the UN Peace keeping force. My brother in law who worked for the company that made the sensors was stationed there to monitor them in the early 80’s. Over the Holidays we actually talked about the newer technology to alert border agents of movement and tunneling activities on the border. While we both agree a 2500 mile border wall is impossible, it is necessary at the major population areas on the border to stop the rushing activities that overwhelm our agents. Time to put some modern sensors on the Mexican Border. The Wall is just one part of Border Security and Trump has even stated such. When Dems and Reps finally get serious about our Security instead of playing political games these caravans and border rushes will cease. It’s a huge problem BA. It’s costing our country BILLIONS. I for one am glad President Trump is digging in on this political time bomb. ” A manufactured crisis” I think not, ask the California law officer’s family who lost their loved one at Christmas. I’m sure his family doesn’t think it is a “ manufactured crisis” BA, as sincerely as I can state it, Trump is correct about Border Security. I hope you never have to stare down a few Illegals in a Home Depot parking lot that are not there to be friendly. I’ve been there, it happened to me and it’s not a pleasant experience. Border Security is all about politics. I for one say good for Trump for standing up to the ridicule, and hysteria by people who don’t have a clue what’s going on at our southern border.

  41. How many illegals can build this kind of tunnel? Few, but there are a lot of illegals can just walk across the border. MY point is that just because they can build tunnel across the border, that does not give liberals the reason not to support building walls or fence. The wall will secure the border and allow them more time to look for this kind of infrastructure. Just an opinion. The border wall works at the San Diego border.

  43. CNN's Acosta Mocked for Border Wall Video CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta took a Twitter beating Thursday for posting a video meant to debunk President Donald Trump's claims of a border crisis – but ended up proving his point that barriers increase security. "Here are some of the steel slats that the president's been talking about," Acosta said while reporting from the southern border. "But as we're walking along here, we're not seeing any kind of imminent danger," adding "There are no migrants trying to rush toward this fence." Acosta then declared there was "no sign of the national emergency that the president has been talking about" and it was "tranquil" near him. He captioned the video, "I found some steel slats down on the border. But I don't see anything resembling a national emergency situation, at least not in the McAllen TX area of the border where Trump will be [Thursday]." The video – taken ahead of Trump's border visit Thursday – got pounded from media watchdogs and critics alike. "Jim Acosta just posted one of the biggest self owns ever," social media strategist Caleb Hull tweeted. "He's walking along the border where there's a wall in place talking about how there's nothing that 'resembles a national emergency situation' and 'there's no migrants trying to rush.' That's because there's a wall, Jim." One of Acosta's former colleagues at CNN, Peter Hamby, also took a swipe, calling the video "glib" and "customized for re-tweets." Another poster cracked, "you found a place where there is a barrier and all is quiet? Jim, do you know what point you're actually making here?" Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale also rubbed it in, thanking Acosta "for pointing out how peaceful, safe, and secure it is at a part of the border that HAS a wall," while Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro was more blunt, calling Acosta a "dolt."

  45. CNN's Acosta Confirms Walled Part of the Border is Crisis-Free CNN reporter Jim Acosta confirmed no crisis existed along a walled portion of the U.S.-Mexico border during a visit Thursday. In a video shared to Twitter, Acosta pointed to "some of the steel slats that the president's been talking about." Walking along the border in McAllen, Texas, Acosta noted that the president has warned of a national emergency at the unwalled portion of the southern border. Acosta observed that this emergency did not exist along the portion of the border that had already been secured with steel slats. "As we're walking along here we're not saying any kind of imminent danger," he remarked, patting the border barrier with his hand as he filmed himself.
