It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.

We are definitely in uncharted political territory here. Trump's "take no prisoners" approach is something we have not seen before from the Republicans.

The outcome of the presidential election puzzled many people. How could such a brash, offensive personality - who didn't understand the nuances of conservatism, who spoke in politically incorrect tweets -win election to lead the world's greatest nation? How could such a dark campaign bring us this

With rumors of open rebellion in the FBI, this may be what the bold, beginning struggle for the principled soul of America looks like - one where there is at least a patch of fertile ground, where politicians are expected to possess some semblance of honesty, of integrity.

In a world, where religious fascism is growing and spreading at home and abroad, America's amateur president continues to lecture Christians, while bolstering the plight of Muslims, and, oddly, it is the Christians dying at the murderous, bigoted hands of Muslims.

Pretty Much. It started back it 2007, when Community Organizer Obama convinced most Democrats and squishy moderates that he was competent and capable of commanding this American ship, listing solidly left, too far left.

The 1970s were a hellish decade for this country. Inflation out the wazoo. Skyrocketing gas prices. Oil embargoes. Record unemployment. Communist aggression rampant around the globe.

I don't know about you, but the 1970s is a decade I'd like to forget. For those of you too young to remember, Google these terms: gas lines, Iran hostage crisis, Watergate, inflation, price controls, DISCO.

Candidate Barack Obama, arguably the most inept president since Jimmy Carter - and because of his complete inarguable abject dishonesty, I will make the argument of his being the most inept - believes he deserves four more years to complete the work he set out to do - make this a socialist nation.
