There Is No current problem in America Other Than Transition Pains From The Past To The New Future.
The first thing needed is a re-declaration of our Independence like 1776. Just like George Washington, that’s Trumps objective. Then go back to capitalism in the USA only. Globalization was global socialism in disguise. One big global commune. Its socialism that is failing.
There is no unfettered businesses in the USA, unless they IMPORT. They are FREE to import. Multi national Global corporations are the ONLY group enjoying capitalism, like illegal immigrants doing as they please going across borders causing problems.
The USA is the ONLY country that can not export to the USA. Think about that.
This’ll throw a wrench in the works

Alas, Washington D.C., as it beats the war drums louder, is dead-set on creating more chaos at home and abroad. And the sheer level of apathy about the potential for yet another major war is absolutely astonishing. The overall public sentiment can be summed up by taking a look at what’s happening in American airports. The lines to get fondled by government goons have become so ridiculously long that airports are now hiring ponies, clowns and live musicians to calm the nerves of the unwashed masses.
Pretty soon they’ll be giving out bread, too… The lesson is clear: As long as you keep Americans entertained — via outlandish elections, bread and circuses, or endless hours of mindless (and often violent) entertainment — they won’t care much about what’s happening outside (or even within) our borders. For example, most Americans have no serious understanding of the many conflicts the United States is engaged in around the world. Moreover, there’s very little shame in being ignorant and indifferent to the lives lost at the triggers of American weaponry. It’s an embarrassment and a disgrace — and only tends to confirm to the world that the stereotypical American is an ignorant drone. To the sane-minded, it’s obvious: More war is the absolute last thing we need. It should be the very thing which unites Americans this election season, but, instead, conveniently enough, it’s the last thing on the mind of the average American. War, said Randolph Bourne, is the health of the State. Since the State is little more than a monopoly on violence, the bigger the State, the more violence it can inflict at home and abroad. (Even the people who cry out about police brutality are missing this crucial connective tissue.) |

Will Trump Win or Lose? (interesting perspective IMO)

| Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Fair warning: The analysis I provide today on the chances of a Trump victory in November will probably leave you shell-shocked, tickled pink or with some sweet-and-sour mix of both. I will name eight inescapable facts that political pundits from both parties are underestimating or missing entirely. I will show you how the presidential election campaign and the stock market could soon be feeding off each other in a vicious spiral. And I will tell you how to prepare for virtually any outcome in November. |

Yes it’s Victoria Day.
The current problem in America is
there are too much concentration of economic wealth.Its the weakness of capitalism in that its too successful in providing goods and services to the most people while creating a high standard of living.Communism is a complete failure ..period.The solution is not to throw capitalism out ,but to take the monopolies and break them up into smaller competing pieces and make them start growing again ..that way you keep the best features of capitalism ..competition…T.Roosevelt understood this with the Trust Busters ..We need to break up the MONOPOLIES in Banks,HealthCare,Microsoft,Amazon,Google,face Book ,Auto companies….get them back to providing better prices more competition for their products. Thats the secret !Not to throw out Capitalism,give them Competition…Break em up.!
Same applies to federal Government ..break it up by sending authority back to the STATES BREAK up the Fed MONOPOLY of Government. Dept of Education ,EPA,etc…make them LOCAL ..big is NOT BETTER its just more corrupt just like any monopoly.The Justice department included …send those cases back to the STATE level ..REFUSE to HEAR THEM..keep them OUT of the Federal Courts ..one size does not fit all…Federal Laws create decisions that dont fit every state …! STOP FEDERALIZING everything…What you call Justice in one state is called discrimination in another ..stop Federalizing everything…Set a LEGAL LIMIT on the size of federal Employees to 5 % of Gross National Product …everybody else must go to work for the State Governments and PRIVATE sECTOR .Then the Competition between states and budgets sets limits on spending and it will be easy to see how one state compares to another.All states should adopt Balanced budget amendments period…

Think most would agree with you. The Vietnamese were caught in the middle. They sure werent inviting the enemy into their side. Well it happened once TET and we don’t need that here. One of my friends said he didn’t even leave the helicopter. He was laying down with his machine gun shooting them from the air when other groups were driving them out. Now it looks like this passenger plane was purposely driven into the sea by the pilot and he was a nice muslim they say. So when did he get radicalized? And if Obama refused to call them radical as well as Hitlery what is the difference? Because their religion is their politics they take it with them.
Just a Q
Is Canada closed today??

The bank that couldn’t trade straight
Deutsche Bank Slides After Mortgage Probe Unveiled; Admission It Rigged Stocks
A month after admitting to rigging precious metals markets, Deutsche Bank has been hit with a double-whammy of more alleged fraudulent behavior today and the stock is sliding. First, Reuters reports that the bank took a charge of 450 million euros for “equity trading fraud,” and then Bloomberg reports that The SEC is looking into Deutsche’s post-crisis mortgage positions.
First, as Reuters reports,
Germany’s Deutsche Bank said it took a charge of around 450 million euros (348 million pounds) last year in relation to share trading fraud, but declined to give any details on Monday.
The bank increased its provisions for “external fraud” to 475 million euros in 2015 from 20 million euros in 2014, according to its annual report.
“The increase in the event type ‘External Fraud’ is caused by a provision for equity trading fraud,” the bank said in the report, which was published in March.
And then, as Bloomberg reports,
SEC investigating whether Deutsche Bank inflated the value of securities in its mortgage-bond trading business, masked losses around 2013, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Investigators looking at positions overseen by Troy Dixon, who at the time ran the bank’s trading for U.S. government- backed mortgage bonds known as agency pass-throughs.

There will always be Cultural clashes when the refugees overwhelm local ability to assimilate them ..Just like we see in Germany and now Italy today.i still am stopped on the street by former Vietnamese employees who go out of their way to say hello and introduce me to their children .I take that as a compliment and a thank you for helping when they needed it ,they want to show me my help was not wasted ,it was put to good use.I didnt give them anything for FREE ..no handouts.. just a JOB ! They made the most of it.!
The same with the Cubans I helped ..not so much lately since so much time has passed and they have assimilated very well,as evidenced by recent Presidential campaigns. However Donald Trump is correct neither of the refugees groups I encountered were terrorists in my experience….Muslims have a religious conflict problem ,so Trump is acting Prudent by halting imports until he can determine “what is going on”. In my opinion the Muslims are engaging in a “infiltration campaign” and have NO INTENTION of assimilating ..thats quite different than the Cubans & Vietnamese.
I would welcome those that want to become Americans,and reject those that see an opportunity to infiltrate and overwhelm with deceitful purpose . Thats what Trump is concerned about and I agree ….we need to be very carefull with this NOT allow ourselves to be used for ulterior motives like Trump says “get smart”.not stupid.!
The whole mid East is a snake pit of two faced liars deceitful cleverly disguised self serving cheats and I include all of them …including so called friendly mid- easterners. and That requires a different set of rules….
Vietnam refugees
When they first landed in San Diego they had a lot to learn. My inlaws USMC lifers they or his wife were in charge of setting them up with housing at Camp Pendelton.
There was many problems for the locals when they came and spread out into nearby cities like Orange country to as far as Sacramento. One of the biggest alarms is people’s pets were missing. There was a thing going around not to let your pets outside. They’d take people dogs and cats kill and eat them. They used public washing machines for toilets.
Many complaints of anywhere there was a line they would just walk up in front of it and then say no speak English. Some of the professionals were rude and not trusted like doctors and dentists. Many of the poor states on welfare having kods and raising them on it. Then Vietnamese Gangs started raising trouble. They acted like they owned the city although mostly Attacked each other which included breaking in other refugees homes and robbing them. Not all were honest or nice.
Yes there was some that were nice. I met a general in a hospital who had to get out and lost his son also helping the Anericans. He came to the hospital to visit me after he got better. Very nice and funny guy who was gonna teach me some card game pai gou can’t spell it but never had the time and administrators were watching lol I wouldn’t exactly say they were helping Americans but Americans were helping them. China et all were helping the others and others got in with the refugees as well. That’s another issue with letting in refugees. Not to just protect the citizens but the real refugees from the enemy as well.
IPSO ….Vietnam
Us …minutes ago on TV announced sale of Fighter Jets to Vietnam …….
Defense contractors had made multiple visits to Vietnam in recent months although no deals were imminent, said the sources, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. Some of the sources characterized the talks as ongoing.
One Western defense contractor said Hanoi wanted to modernize its air force by replacing more than 100 aging Russian MiG-21 fighters while reducing its reliance on Moscow for weapons for its roughly 480,000-strong military.
Vietnam has ordered about a dozen more Russian Sukhoi Su-30 front-line fighters to supplement a fleet of older Su-27s and Su-30s.
“We had indications they want to reduce their dependence on Russia. Their growing friendship with America and Europe will help them to do that,” said the defense contractor.
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter, during a visit to Vietnam on Sunday, pledged $18 million to help Hanoi buy US patrol boats. But any deal with Lockheed or Boeing would likely be the most significant involving a US firm since Washington started easing a long-time embargo on the sale of lethal weapons to Vietnam in October.
My experience
in NJ was with the CUBANS in the 1960’s, then in the late 1970’s was with the Vietnamese in Virginia …I got a real education what life was like under the Communists ..Thats why I am like I am…The Young and dumb being taught by University LibTards dont know whats going on ! Communists are Masters of Deceit…

A good morning to you as well! 🙂

I think the muslims know what would happen if they screamed Allah Akbar and beheaded some Chinese citizen. So much for the practical solution to housing those immigrants. 🙂
Good Morning to you, hope you have your boxing gloves on. The pair with the nails embedded. Like Buygold points out, quite the battle going on in the PM pits. Arrrrghhh, most be monday !
