China’s foreign exchange reserves fell more than expected in September as the yuan currency weakened further against the dollar amid mounting trade tension with the United States.
Reserves fell $22.69 billion in September to $3.087 trillion, compared with a decline of $8.23 billion in August, central bank data showed on Sunday.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected reserves to drop by $5 billion to $3.105 trillion.
The yuan fell for the sixth straight month in September as the dollar remained buoyant, suggesting Beijing may be in no rush to intervene as a weaker currency would support its exporters amid the escalating Sino-U.S. trade war.
The value of China’s gold reserves fell to $70.327 billion at the end of September, from $71.228 billion at the end of August.

So the SOB pulled it off.. Never heard the news of the win.
Hof, who appeared in the HBO reality TV show “Cathouse” about prostitutes at one of his brothels, won the Republican state primary in June for a seat in the Nevada assembly and is considered the favorite in the November general election. “(and I hope he does)
But look at what his first win got him.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/immigration-violations-possible-sex-trafficking-found-nevada-brothels-010509421.html
The inspectors say this.
“A four-month-long internal investigation found prostitute registration procedures to be rife with violations over several decades, the sheriff’s office statement said.
“Those practices include US immigration law violations, foreign country human trafficking indicators, fraudulent statements, issuance of work cards prior to completing criminal history background checks, and inability to validate out-of-state and US and other foreign national documents to determine identity,” the statement said.”
But the government is supposed to issue those.
And Hoff states,”Hof denied any immigration violations or trafficking at the brothel and said the sheriff’s department was responsible for screening prospective employees.”
Gotta give credit to the guy. He didn’t put up any public fuss when his “contractors” supported “Boobs for Hillary”.

“There is now a concrete storyline backed by irrefutable evidence: The FBI allowed itself to take political opposition research created by one party to defeat another in an election, treated it like actionable intelligence, presented it to the court as substantiated, and then used it to justify spying on an adviser for the campaign of that party’s duly chosen nominee for president in the final days of a presidential election.
And when, nine months later, the FBI could not prove the allegation of collusion between Trump and Russia, unverified evidence was leaked to the media to try to sustain public support for a continued investigation.
That means the redaction of Footnote 43 had more to do with political embarrassment than with national security. And that should concern us all.

Sanctions don’t work they say but they never really did it like we are doing it to those mutha mullahs now. They don’t go into full effect for a month –
The Islamic Republic exported 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude in that seven-day period, Refinitiv Eikon data showed. An industry source who also tracks exports said October shipments were so far below 1 million bpd.
That’s down from at least 2.5 million bpd in April, before President Donald Trump in May withdrew the United States from a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimposed sanctions. The figure also marks a further fall from 1.6 million bpd in September.
Tanker schedules are often adjusted and exports can vary week by week. The early October figures add to signs, however, that Iranian exports are falling more steeply than expected, stretching the ability of Saudi Arabia, non-OPEC Russia and other producers to fill the gap.
“The U.S. government’s tough stance raised the stakes for a more significant Iran export loss than previously foreseen,” said Norbert Ruecker, head of macro and commodity research at Swiss bank Julius Baer.

Gotta have evidence Paul. But I found you a new religion! And a hot babe too!
“NEW YORK, NY—Taylor Swift finally broke her long-standing unspoken rule of theological silence by coming out in support of amillennialism on her Instagram page Sunday.
Fans have long clamored for Swift to take a stand on eschatology, and they finally got their wish as the singer posted a lengthy defense of amillennial beliefs.
“I always have and always will support the eschatological system which best preserves the overarching theme of God’s covenants throughout the Bible,” she wrote, further decrying the “systemic church bias toward premillennialism” as “terrifying, sickening, and prevalent.”
Dispensational scholars quickly condemned Swift for her position, calling her “just another elite, out-of-touch Hollywood liberal who denies the clear meaning of Scripture.”
“Once again, we see how far outside the norm these wealthy libs are,” said Pastor David Jeremiah of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California. “They don’t understand politics, and they clearly don’t understand theology.”
Several prophecy experts even came forward to identify Taylor Swift as one of several demonic symbols in the book of Revelation, making new end times charts available on their online stores right away.
After public outcry, Swift clarified that her position also includes some preterist leanings.”

There is hope for Paul yet! But you need to walk extra slow crossing the street.
WORLD—A new announcement from God’s PR office confirmed last week that anyone you run over with your car while gunning it in order to get to church on time will go straight to heaven.
Bypassing the normal rules of justification, the exception is made so that you can put the pedal to the metal and make it to church before the sermon begins.
“No matter if the person is saved or not, we give them an instant pass to eternal life,” said one heavenly representative. “Now, you can barrel through red lights, run over old ladies, and plow through Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses without a guilty conscience.”
Christians took full advantage of the rule on Sunday, with authorities estimating that vehicular manslaughter cases increased 4,000% on that morning. “There were thousands of cases of minivans running over pedestrians as they performed a powerslide into a church parking lot. Even a few Civic hatchbacks driven by worship leaders who were running late for practice killed a few people.”
Heaven says it’s prepared for the influx of people who weren’t Christians in this life but now get a free pass into the Majestic Kingdom.
“We’re doing a whole orientation thing where they learn essentials of the faith, like the books of the Bible song, the pledge to the Christian flag, and the Second Amendment,” said the spokesperson. “They’ll fit right in after a few decades of training, so don’t worry. Go nuts on your way to church this Sunday.”

My, Mr. Walt, you have expanded your horizons.
The right tool for the right job at the right time.
“One reason for Trump’s growing approval may have more to do with his uncanny ability to get his political opponents to reveal their true colors. By refusing to play by Washington’s conventional politically correct “rules,” Trump tweaks the “sensibilities” of the political elites. In so doing he has effectively exposed a growing political cancer of social-Marxism that has almost completely infected today’s Democrat party — a party that now has no room for political centrists but rather has become a bastion of the extreme Left.” Amen.
