Trump wants to make an example of Fed Chair Powell before he appoints the next FC. Saw two analysts saying it doesn't make any sense to go after Powel now, he's leaving in May. That is exactly why DJT is doing it now. #BullyLogic

Listening to the "no room at the inn" bits of the Christmas story. Those who know will remember that "Inn From the Cold" in Calgary was founded & conceived at St. Stephen's Anglican on Christmas Eve. The rector gave a sermon about the person sleeping under the front steps of the church, that night.
