In a Nutshell


CNBC has done a good job summarizing all the winners and losers in the GOP tax package which is expected to be enacted on Tuesday. Even though "carried interest" has not been eliminated, its holding period has been increased from one to three years to qualify -- small victory.

This reform was sausage making at its best ...

Anyhow, spend the halftime of the NFL game you are not going to watch today studying this information packed chart ... CNBC Synopsis. I think the stock market is telling us that this will not just be good for US companies ... but for our economy in general. It certainly will have consequences for the 2018 midterm elections ... possibly even more so than sexual harassment charges.

I cannot fathom how denying yourself watching the Patriots-Steelers game on TV because someone *might* take a knee is a meaningful protest. I don’t watch Fox and Friends... does it make any difference?

Does anyone take a knee on Fox and Friends?

Does Fox and Friends perform the National Anthem?
