Very superstitious, writings on the wall,

Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall,

Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass

Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,

Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,

Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,

You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,

Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,

Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass,

Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,

Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Police: 13 cops suffer injuries after far-left Antifa protest turns into a riot

Jan 29, 2020

We hear a lot from the violent extremist group Antifa across our nation. From Portland, Oregon to Virginia, the guys and gals in black with masks covering their faces come out of hiding to take over our streets, shouting for their cause, whatever that cause actually is. They’re threatening violence, they’re committing violent acts. They’re terrorizing anyone who disagrees with them. They’re attacking our police.

Maybe you’ve heard, maybe you haven’t, but the groups aren’t just active in the United States. They have also been bringing violence into other countries as well. Most recently, they’ve brought their hate rhetoric to Germany and caused a riot over something that happened two years ago.

And this week, protesters with the group turned a demonstration into a riot, injuring more than a dozen law enforcement officials.

Rand Paul Releases Impeachment Trial Question Censored by John Roberts

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has released the question that was blocked Wednesday and Thursday by Chief Justice John Roberts in the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump. Paul’s question deals with the origins of the impeachment inquiry and employs the name of the alleged whistleblower, not in that context but with regard to his relation with a NSC co-worker who moved on to the staff of Lead House Manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and whether they plotted to impeach Trump before the House impeachment proceedings started.

My question today is about whether or not individuals who were holdovers from the Obama National Security Council and Democrat partisans conspired with Schiff staffers to plot impeaching the President before there were formal House impeachment proceedings.

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 30, 2020

My exact question was:

Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together 1/2

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 30, 2020

and are you aware and how do you respond to reports that Ciaramella and Misko may have worked together to plot impeaching the President before there were formal house impeachment proceedings. 2/2

BIS global liquidity indicators at end-September 2019

27 January 2020

US dollar credit to non-bank borrowers outside the United States grew by 5% year on year at end-September 2019, to reach $12.1 trillion.

Euro-denominated credit outside the euro area continued to expand at a fast pace (9%). In contrast, the growth rate of yen-denominated credit outside Japan fell to 1%.

Strong debt securities issuance drove expansions in US dollar and euro credit to emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). US dollar credit to EMDEs grew at an annual rate of 3% (to reach $3.8 trillion); euro credit to EMDEs expanded by 9% (to reach €0.7 trillion).

Euro-denominated credit outside the euro area continued to expand rapidly

US dollar credit to non-bank borrowers outside the United States grew by 5% year on year (yoy) (Graph 1, red line) to reach $12.1 trillion at end-September 2019. In terms of the main components, the growth rate of bank loans (6% yoy) exceeded that of debt securities (4% yoy) for a third consecutive quarter. This represents a notable reversal of the pattern observed during most of the post-Great Financial Crisis period, when US dollar debt securities outpaced loans.

Euro-denominated credit to borrowers outside the euro area grew by 9% yoy (Graph 1, blue line), pushing the outstanding stock up to €3.5 trillion (equivalent to $3.8 trillion) at end-September 2019. Meanwhile, the yoy growth rate of yen-denominated credit outside Japan fell sharply to 1% (yellow line). This took the outstanding stock to ¥48.6 trillion (equivalent to $0.5 trillion).
