Subject: Hilary Humour: Reviews For Her Book
A bit of Humour - Reviews of Hillary's New Book
"Hillary Clinton's 506-page memoirs has come out.
So much of her personality shines through, that in the end,
you, too, will want to sleep with an intern." ~ Craig Kilborn
"In Hillary Clinton's new book 'Living History,' Hillary details
what it was like meeting Bill Clinton, falling in love with him,
getting married, and living a passionate, wonderful life as
husband and wife.
Then on page two, the trouble starts." ~ Jay Leno
"Hillary Clinton, our junior senator from New York, announced
that she has no intentions of ever, ever running for office of
the President of the United States. Her husband, Bill Clinton,
is bitterly disappointed. He is crushed. There go his dreams of
becoming a two-impeachment family." ~ David Letterman
"Last night, Senator Hillary Clinton hosted her first party in her
new home in Washington. People said it was a lot like the
parties she used to host at the White House. In fact, even the
furniture was the same." ~ Jay Leno
"CNN found that Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in
America. Women admire her because she's strong and
successful. Men admire her because she allows her husband
to cheat and get away with it." ~ Jay Leno
"Hillary Clinton is the junior senator from the great state of
New York. When they swore her in, she used the Clinton
family Bible - the one with only 7 commandments." ~ David
Letterman

I have thought long and hard why most New Yorker's I know,
even family members, hate Trump.
First, it is because, being from New York, they have had plenty
of opportunities to know and to read about him.
Second, I guess when they look in the mirror they see
themselves.
Amazing. But, when an entire nation rejects you that has to sting:

Another ally of Hillary decides taking the 5th is preferable to spilling the beans.
Fusion GPS co-founder, Glenn Simpson, could find himself in "real legal jeopardy."
“Glenn Simpson was an absolutely essential figure in launching the entire Russia collusion
hoax,” a Republican congressional staffer told The Washington Times.
Mr. Simpson decided to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights during the same week that
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein balked at testifying. Republicans want information about his May 2017 meeting with then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. He said in a memo that Mr. Rosenstein talked of secretly recording the president, The New York Times reported.

Visualize the Entire GlobalEconomy in One Chart
Last week President Trump announced a landmark new trade agreement replacing NAFTA, a deal
that he thinks will pour “cash and jobs” into the US economy. We don’t want todebate the merits
of Trump’s approach to trade, but the world should always pay attention when the leader of the
world’s largest economy starts talking about tariffs. Our newest visualization highlights exactly how
big the U.S. economy is compared to the every other country in the world.
September 2018, a few different ways. The underlying idea is that GDP is not a zero-sum game,
meaning the pie can continue to grow for every country in the world and not just a few. Each slice
represents the total economic output, or GDP, of a country in 2017, the latest year for which definite
and complete data are available. The color corresponds to its geographic location, and we included the
percentage of the world’s economy each country makes up for easy references. This lets you i
mmediately see which countries and continents dominate the world economy, and which ones lag way
behind.
Top 10 Biggest World Economies by GDP
1. United States - $19.39 trillion
2. China - $12.24 trillion
3. Japan - $4.87 trillion
4. Germany - $3.67 trillion
5. UK - $2.62 trillion
6. India - $2.60 trillion
7. France - $2.58 trillion
8. Brazil - $2.05 trillion
9. Italy - $1.93 trillion
10. Canada - $1.65 trillion
An interesting way to understand these numbers is by comparing them to a previous visualization we
did last year on the relative size of economies using the same underlying dataset from the World
Bank. There are in fact a few changes to note. Looking at the top ten countries overall,
India’s economy surpassed France to become the 6th biggest in the world. The UK was the only
economy to shrink among the top ten, dropping from $2.86 trillion to $2.62 trillion, not adjusting
for inflation. The U.S. is still the biggest both in overall terms and as a share of the global economy
(24.32% last year vs. 24.40% this year). China is continuing to rise as a global economic power,
accounting for 15.4% of the world’s GDP, up from 14.84%. In short and in general, the world’s
heavyweight economies continue to reign supreme.
So how big are they? The combined GDP of the top four countries in the world (U.S., China,
Japan and Germany) is greater than the entire rest of the world. The most obvious conclusion is
that the U.S., Europe and Asia collectively control an enormous swath of the global economic order,
totaling over 87% of the globe’s GDP. As you can see, the Global South barely makes it onto the
visualization. Hundreds of countries contribute so little to the world’s GDP that we simply lumped
them together into one uncategorized bucket, otherwise the visual would become too crowded.
That’s why every time President Trump threatens to increase tariffs on Chinese goods, the world’s
markets take him seriously. He’s not talking about small economies where trade deals have a only
ripple effect around the world. Tariffs worth hundreds of billions in annual revenue would have a
serious impact on the global economy. Whether you think the impact would be net positive or net
negative is another matter altogether.
