Trump Administration Considers Moves to Bolster Economy

With fears of a possible recession mounting, the Trump administration is taking steps to prop up the economy in preparation. Some of the proposals put forward include a payroll tax cut, which is touted to boost the economy by allowing workers to take larger paychecks home, as well as rolling back some of President Trump’s tax cuts. Even though the president insists the economy is doing well, contingency plans are being put together in case the economy cannot hold a recession at bay. The payroll tax cut needs congressional approval, which advisers see as possible because similar interventions were taken during the Obama administration. >>Source


U.S. home sales rise, boosted by lower mortgage rates

Despite the common consensus among U.S economists of a global economic slowdown, the U.S home market registered a 2.5% uptick in home sales in July of 2019. The Federal Reserve is mostly to thank for this growth as it decreased interest rates on home sales in July. The home sale marker was weary in December after the Federal Reserve raised these rates, but its reversal is giving hope to the National Association of Realtors. The cut in interest rate is interesting because it came at a time when unemployment is at its lowest level in almost 50 years, with the estimated unemployment numbers predicted to be more likely to cause an increase in interest rates and therefore a slowdown in home sales and purchases. >>Source


Report shows US deficit to exceed $1 trillion next year

Taking into account the big budget deal enacted by President Trump this summer, the federal budget deficit is projected to grow to over $1 trillion in the next fiscal year. Experts are now warning that the federal debt, which is already untannable in is historical context, is heading towards unsustainable levels. All this is despite President Trump campaigning on the pledge to balance the budget and bring the federal deficit down. CBO, a nonpartisan group, forecasts that the deficit for this fiscal year will exceed $960 billion, with the number growing past the projected $12 trillion in the next one. The group also warned that the deficit is set to grow higher, especially on the realization that the U.S population is aging, which will increase healthcare costs in the coming decade. >>Source

Bad Boys For Life Trailer
There is a new Bad Boys movie coming out soon; it is the third movie in the franchise. Bad Boy For Life, Will Smith will be returning to play in this movie. The movie looks like it will have lots of action and comedy in it. Unlike the other two movies, This movie is not directed by Michael Bay, but rather by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Regardless of whoever directed this film, I still think it will turn out to be just as great as the last two.
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie once it comes out on January 17, 2020.  >>Source

Nintendo Switch Lite Unboxing
If you haven't heard of the Switch Lite, it is the all new handheld-only Nintendo console. It has been created as a cheaper alternative to the original Nintendo Switch. The price is significantly cheaper, but it is still able to play most of the games for the Nintendo Switch. In this video, YouTuber Kevin Kenson has managed to snag one of these babies before the official release date, which is set to be released on September 20, 2019. For those who are on a tight budget but still wanna play Switch games, perhaps this may be the right choice for you. >>Source

Battle At Big Rock Short Film
Jurassic World has recently released an all-new short film on YouTube titled "Battle at Big Rock." It is only a short 8-minute film, but it feels as if you were watching a scene from a full blown Jurassic Park movie. I feel like they did very well with this short film, and perhaps this could be a clue to a possible new future Jurassic World film. I was always a fan of the Jurassic Park movies. >>Source

Horoscopes / Sep 16, 2019 - Sep 22, 2019
Spoiler (Click to View)
  • Aries ♈
    "If you have noticed delays to your ambitions and career plans, things can begin to ease from this week as cautious Saturn turns direct in a more prominent zone. It may not happen right away, but gradually you’ll begin to notice positive change.

    However, you could feel quite strongly about one goal, especially around Thursday when feisty Mars aligns with potent Pluto. You may be determined to make it happen, come what may. But be sure you want your prize once you have it.

    Activities this week can be fueled by a dreamy influence between jovial Jupiter and hazy Neptune, which could give you unrealistic expectations. You will do better to keep your feet on the ground, because all that glitters is not necessarily gold.

    As chatty Mercury angles toward prudent Saturn on Sunday, it could be difficult to get something across to another, or they simply may not want to hear it. Patience may be necessary."
    >>Source

  • Taurus ♉
    "Cautious Saturn turns direct in your sector of travel and far horizons this week. If you’ve postponed a trip for whatever reason, the coming weeks could see you back on track in this regard. And if there have been any issues around studying or working toward a degree or certification, these may begin to resolve, too.

    At the same time, there’s a certain intensity around that could be hard to ignore. This peaks on Thursday with a very focused Mars-Pluto transit. If there’s something you have your mind set on accomplishing, you’ll work hard to make it happen.

    Perhaps the biggest aspect of the week is a dreamy square between jovial Jupiter and aquatic Neptune that peaks on Saturday. This can lead to unrealistic goals that you may have no hope of achieving. If a scheme sounds dubious, it probably is, so leave well enough alone."
    >>Source

  • Gemini ♊
    "Home and family affairs continue to occupy your mind, with one matter proving quite intense. This could involve a domestic issue or perhaps another problem that you’re eager to resolve. With dynamic Mars angling toward volcanic Pluto, you could be focused in your determination to overcome this or get the outcome you desire. This is a chance to make changes to your environment that may be long overdue.

    At the same time, prudent Saturn turns direct in a more intense zone, and this could lead to improvements regarding shared finances, business matters, and deep soul bonds. If you’ve experienced obstacles, these can begin to ease.

    Over this week, though, you’ll need to take care regarding schemes or plans that aren’t rooted in reality. A nebulous aspect involving upbeat Jupiter and ethereal Neptune could see you engaging in ideas that may not work out. Therefore, it’s best to do your research before you make a move."
    >>Source

  • Cancer ♋
    "If certain relationships have been trying for whatever reason, there could be light at the end of the tunnel. As prudent Saturn turns direct in your sector of relating on Wednesday, your interactions could become more productive. It seems that rather than treading water, you are now making progress.

    There is also the potential for a collaboration or perhaps an intense encounter as dynamic Mars links with radical Pluto. Someone you meet this week could have a powerful influence on you, and it might be enough to change your life. They could inspire you to see key issues from a more empowering perspective.

    When it comes to ideas and opportunities, be particularly careful around one that may not be all that it seems. You could be dazzled by the potential offered by a scheme, but the fact is that it could all come to nothing.

    Over the weekend, it pays to keep an open mind rather than stick to your opinions."
    >>Source

  • Leo ♌
    "Finances continue to be on your mind, and a delightful focus on your sector of communication encourages you to network and connect with people who may be helpful to you.

    At the same time, with prudent Saturn turning direct in your lifestyle zone on Wednesday, you may find that life at work and in general becomes easier. Perhaps there isn’t as much pressure on you. If you’ve spent some of the past months restructuring your workload, you’ll now feel the benefits.

    You might be offered an opportunity or perhaps look to secure one that could enhance your income or reputation. However, as intense energies are involved, be sure this is what you want. Once you get it, it may not be so easy to back out.

    In addition, Saturday’s dreamy combination of upbeat Jupiter and spiritual Neptune could see you falling for a scheme that offers much but could see you losing out."
    >>Source

  • Virgo ♍
    "There is still a focus on your sign that could see you being proactive and eager to get ahead. With this in mind, sobering Saturn’s forward motion from Wednesday can assist you in your plans. Although it may take a while to get back on track, obstacles can begin to melt away and progress become more possible.

    A very dynamic and intense aspect involving your creative and romance zone peaks on Thursday. Your feelings for someone could be very strong, but should you let them know? It might be best to wait a few days until you feel more settled unless you’re certain that the person feels the same way about you. Otherwise, your intensity could be off-putting.

    Avoid unrealistic schemes over the weekend and beyond. While someone may be trustworthy, they could be disorganized. If you get involved in their plans, it could be a waste of time and resources.

    Finally, someone may refuse to be persuaded on Sunday, so let it go for now."
    >>Source

  • Libra ♎
    "With luscious Venus and chatty Mercury in your sign, you may begin to feel more in control and eager to get socializing. Over this week and coming weeks, you’ll be in your element and feeling much more vital.

    For now, though, you still have the chance to tie up loose ends and find closure on issues that may be draining your energy. And if family responsibilities have been keeping you very busy, the coming weeks can see you delegating some of them or perhaps finding a way to lessen your load.

    Regarding one matter, you now have a chance to make changes and perhaps resolve it once and for all. An intense focus suggests that once you get to the core of it, it may unravel by itself.

    In addition, a hazy aspect over this weekend and beyond could see you getting involved in something that turns out to be more of a fantasy than a reality."
    >>Source

  • Scorpio ♏
    "If doubts have held you back, sobering Saturn’s change of direction could make a difference. As it turns direct midweek, you’ll likely find that your mindset begins to shift. And if you’ve spent the past few months working on your self-talk or perhaps taking charge of key issues, you’ll begin to see the benefits now.

    Still, with dynamic Mars and potent Pluto forging a strong alliance that peaks on Thursday, you’ll be in a very determined frame of mind. With Mars in your social sector and Pluto in your zone of talk and thought, collaborating on a project that you’re passionate about could be very satisfying.

    Even so, keep a steady hand on your finances over this week and beyond. Unless you stay alert, a very dreamy aspect involving upbeat Jupiter and aquatic Neptune could see your cash draining away, It’s best not to get involved in schemes that sound too good to be true, because they probably are."
    >>Source

  • Sagittarius ♐
    "There is still a powerful focus on your sector of goals and ambitions, and this is certainly the week to make the most of them.

    As determined Mars aligns with volcanic Pluto over this week, you may be offered an opportunity that can take you far. It might demand a lot of you, though, so be sure that it’s right for you before you commit. If this something you’d enjoy, it could be quite lucrative.

    In addition, with taskmaster Saturn turning direct in your money zone, any obstacles or delays around your finances can begin to ease. And although it’s wise to handle your finances with care, you may feel a little more confident that things are picking up the pace.

    Try to avoid unrealistic schemes related to real estate, though, whether at home or elsewhere. You may think you’re getting a deal, but it could turn out to be a ruse."
    >>Source

  • Capricorn ♑
    "There’s good news this week as prudent Saturn in your sign turns direct after its retrograde phase of many months. If you’ve found it difficult to make progress or felt that your affairs have been going backward, this can all begin to change. And if you’ve made changes to your plans during its retrograde phase and restructured key areas of your life, you’ll soon notice a positive difference.

    You’ll also be eager to explore new options, especially if they take you out of your comfort zone. An opportunity or project could appeal to you because you’re passionate about it and because it offers a chance to secure your future. This is a time when you might go all out to make sure you’re successful.

    Yet even the most down-to-earth person can get caught out occasionally, and this may be one of those times. Go easy over the weekend and beyond because something that seems like a sure-fire thing may not be."
    >>Source

  • Aquarius ♒
    "As karmic Saturn turns direct in a secluded and spiritual zone midweek, you can begin to feel more at ease with yourself. If you’ve been busy sorting through issues, perhaps with a life coach or counselor, you’ll begin to see progress over the coming weeks. And while you may not be completely out of the woods, your confidence is certainly building.

    This week could be particularly intense, though, as a potent aspect across subtle sectors of your chart could see you eager to resolve a business or financial matter so that you have more control and freedom in your life. The cosmos suggests trusting your instincts, because no matter how things appear on the surface, the real cause may be far deeper.

    Avoid getting caught up in schemes that may be too impractical and unrealistic. While a friend could come along with a great idea, it could cost you dearly if you don’t research it or ask leading questions."
    >>Source

  • Pisces ♓
    "If you’ve had issues with a certain friend over the past months, there’s a chance these can ease somewhat as prudent Saturn turns direct in your social zone midweek. And if you’ve pruned your contact list and let go of so-called friends who just seem to take and never give, you should already be feeling lighter and brighter. Things can only get better.

    A dynamic and potent aspect hints at a collaboration between you and a group or someone who shares your love of an interest or cause. Do you want to do something about certain injustices? Now may be the time when you take the plunge and commit, and this can bring a lot of satisfaction in the coming weeks and months.

    With key planets forging an awkward angle, avoid getting involved in anything that is more fantasy than reality. You might be offered an opportunity that is out of this world, but there’s a good chance it won’t materialize."
