The Market, Energy, And Political Page, Part 3, T+48 -- April 17, 2018 -- Trump Fails To Solve World Hunger; The Bitch Train

One week after President Trump tweets about tariffs, the mainstream media blamed the stock market plunge and predicted the US economy would "go south" because of the impending trade war. All of a sudden, all that is history -- T+48 -- and now with 1Q18 earnings coming and the market surging, the "fair and balanced" Yahoo!Finance is suggesting that Trump is "taking too much credit for the economy." LOL. That's the headline story / the headline banner over at Yahoo!Finance? I can't make this stuff up.


Cognitive dissonance.

Can't have it both ways.

Imagine if Hillary were president.

Making America great again.

Drill, baby, drill.

I wonder if the mainstream media will give President Trump any credit if North Korea agrees to denuclearize. I assume the MSNBC spin will be that President Trump did not go far enough. I can see the headlines now: "Kim Jong Un Demilitarizes; China Lifts All Tariffs On US Goods; Trump Failed To Solve World Hunger."

Batch Train

From the Kinder Morgan Canada website: Products in the Pipeline.
TMPL transports crude oil, refined and semi-refined products together in the same line. This process, known as “batching,” means that a series of products can follow one another through the pipeline in a “batch train.”
A typical batch train in the mainline is made up of a variety of materials being transported for different shippers. Products next to each other in the pipeline can mix. This mixing - or product interface - is kept to a minimum by putting the products in a specific sequence. Any products that do mix are re-refined for use. 
Not to be confused with "bitch train." A good example of a "bitch train" is story-after-story about how awful the United States has become ever since November 9, 2016.
