The U.S. Senate on Wednesday approved new sanctions to punish Russia for "meddling" in the 2016 election.

The bipartisan legislation, which passed with an overwhelming 97-2 vote, slaps new sanctions on Russia and restricts President Trump from easing them in the future without first receiving congressional approval. The only two senators to vote against the measure were Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY), while Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) abstained. 

Remember when Trump called on Qatar to stop funding terrorism, claiming credit for and endorsing the decision of Gulf nations to isolate their small neighbor (where the most important US airbase in the middle east is located),even as US Cabinet officials said their blockade is hurting the campaign against ISIS. You should: it took place just 5 days ago.

With The Fed hike out of the way and a confident Janet Yellen shrugging off everything in her way, MishTalk's Mike Shedlock has a few things to say about the farce...

I have official guidance that a party is on through 2030. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Billionaire Ron Baron says blue chips to double by 2030… and Tesla shares to do even better.

What can possibly go wrong with Baron’s prediction?

I cannot come up with a single thing. Party on dudes!

With the naval and economic blockade of Qatar extending into the second week, while Qatar's banks and money exchanges are fast running out of dollars, today the wealthy Gulf state defied and accused the Saudi-led alliance of engaging in an "illegal siege" designed to apply political pressure, while rebuffing the Saudi "offer" of food and aid.

Following the testimonies of both former FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Left's 'Russian Collusion' narrative has completely unraveled.  Comey's admission under oath that Trump was never under investigation and that he never attempted to influence the Russia investigation was a startling realization for disaffected democrats and the mainstream media who have been flailing around ever since anxiously attempting to craft a new damaging narrative to perpetuate their witch hunt.
