Trump? Don’t Count Him Out.
Posted at 3:11 pm , on June 25, 2018
Greetings Readers,
Scandals, investigations, lies, deceit, confusion, misconceptions, demagogue showmanship, and low poll ratings, but don’t count this guy out. He has grabbed the immigration issue and is running with it. (It may be enough) Trump possesses a great deal of overt and covert support and the final outcome may surprise us.
Wall Street, the Pentagon, Israel, and most of the white patriotic working class are on his side. In the light of less than four percent unemployment and a booming economy Trump has the necessary underlying support, and he has intimidated Congress and many in the GOP to grudgingly support him.
The recent photo of Trump hugging the American flag is immediately worth winning over a half million voters right there.
This president is for America and will not let up no matter whose party and nation’s face he steps on. Besides this, as a powerful elitist billionaire, and showman entertainer, he knows how to handle his followers. Trump is presently rudely suckering in the American public.
The next presidential election could be a cliff-hanger, no matter what the mid-terms reveal. Trump is the ultimate Teflon president and criticisms just bounce off of him and are soon discounted.
Winning a second term is extremely important and a grave step toward a fascist America. I may take several years, but we are on our way down that road should Trump stay in office. So, we as observers can’t help it. Stay tuned, and watch the ‘Great Divider’ work his magical scam on the gullible. There are disconcerting similarities to other want-to-be authoritarians and dictators that I will address and explain in my next post.
If most voting could effectively change things it would be made illegal. Our system is rigged for the benefit of the one percent whether we like it or not. Those top one percent belong to Trump, he has provided and given them the benefits they desired as hazardous that is to the American democratic system.
All the Best to you.
Ron Miller.

In the Day’s Un-News: Snakes and Gaza Balloons

In the Day’s Un-News: Snakes and Gaza Balloons
Posted at 3:18 am , on June 21, 2018
Greetings Readers,
In case you have not heard, and I doubt if you have not, because it is all over the international media, a python attacked and ate a female farmer whole, entirely, in central Indonesia. The snake was found fifty yard away digesting the victim’s fully clothed body. The python was only 23 feet in length. Because the woman was Muslim she had to be buried before nightfall. A male farmer was eaten in the same way about one year ago. Through my painstaking research I have found unlike Donald Trump snakes do not discriminate, they don’t care if you are rich or poor, farmer or city dweller, or even an emigrant. The message here is this, if you are a tourist in Indonesia do not go on farm tours.*
Yes, indeed, the Israeli Air Force has state-of-the-art F-35s, 23 of them to be exact, and the Israel armed forces have the latest updated equipment gladly profitably provided by the U. S. and E.U. But, what do the Palestinians in Gaza have? They have balloons and kites with small incendiary devices attached that are blown by the westerly winds toward Israel and Jordan recently causing several destructive forest fires. This Gazans strategy goes hand and glove very well with slingshots, knives, rocks, and burning tires.
Some Americans have lost their moral compass? Well, let’s get it back Americans. I have the solution. It is with Optical Focus, the ZYTO, the Marine Compass Corporation, and eBay. Prices for handheld range from $22.95 to $67.16, $90.18 and $119.95. Do not be caught without your moral compass.
Have a nice day ahead.
Ron
* Sixty or so years ago in Southeast Asia it was not uncommon to see city street vendors selling tonics and medicines with a six or seven-foot long python ensconced in front of their box stands. Usually a photographer was near to snap a photo for a price for a tourist or on-looker, quite often with the snake partly wrapped around his or her body. As a lad I took such a picture with a mate and kept it for years. The reptile was of course anesthetized with food or drug and hopefully quite tame and pliable. And I remember the wooing and awing of the gathering crowd as the vendor would reveal a ten or twelve footer from his bag or box for display.

Trump Marches On at the G7 Conference
Posted at 12:47 pm , on June 14, 2018
Greetings Readers,
Half way around the world, I was having my cookies and warm milk before going to bed. I was a little late, but I watched Trump’s ending G-7 speech in real-time prior his heading for Singapore for the big historic summit negotiation in Singapore with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
Astonishing to me any way, a non-Trump believer that I am, his presentation made a great deal of practical sense in general. I saw Trumps outlook more clearly. So, I have determined to push the personal bias aside and give the loose cannon devil president his due. Clearly as a businessman negotiator he is for the American economy, for Wall Street, and the productive American worker first and foremost.
No matter what we think of him through scandals, 3,012 lies and deceptions, according the New York Times, investigations, Russian collusion, porn stars, Iran misstep, Israel influence, and his worldwide dictatorial objectives, some of us must come to realize that Trump is on the road to making the U. S., and himself, by hook or by crook methods, America Greater than it is by economic measures, particularly tariffs, and bullying military threats. It is clear he’s not going to be a friendly International leader to many.
(Concerning the last item, I didn’t miss warmonger advocate John Bolton standing only a few feet away from the podium as the president spoke)
One of America’s huge hubris faults during the past 60 years is that we’ve had it so ‘on top of the world economically fortunate’,we began to give away the store by easy trade terms, and treaties, and plain generosity to reduce our hard-earned prosperity through laxity.
Note the past presidents and political leaders arrived in Congress, government, from military, political, an acting career, and professorship careers, and none were businessmen or inclined to business investments. In other words, they did not see the full economic picture to arrive in the years ahead. None successfully chalenged the bottom dollar line in trade. These earlier leaders catered to the wants and needs by voter guidelines. But…
As General Motors CEO Charlie Wilson once said the wisely to reporters on a Michigan golf course, “The Business of America is business.” Our past presidents and Congressional Leaders have not, not been shrewd enough to realize it until the President, the Trumpet, blared out the message, pointed it out and has taken the manta to get the U. S. back on track to continue the America’s capitalist success.
According to Trump, and his gang, the U. S. will not give aways the candy store any longer, we’ve got to toughen up with a master plan to reduce the international trading deficit, level the playing field, accumulate profit, and look after our own interests, citizens, the voters, and last but not least the Wall Street elitists he favors at the expense of all others.
That’s not a bad ideological policy to follow, if Trump does not go to far with it. It appears unfortunately that he is about to at the detriment of other nations. We must of course wait and see. Moreover, the personal Trump objective is to be elected for a second term. He desires challenge and wants to be the powerful world mover and shaker.
No matter what we think of President Trump let us hope and wish him well during his Singapore Summit. It is I understand a first step toward peace on the peninsula and for that matter the whole world.
All the Best to you.

Spheres of National Influence and Others People’s Business.
Posted at 9:53 am , on June 4, 2018
Greetings Readers,
Taken from today’s Asian News channels or was it yesterday’s? No matter, history repeats itself often even in daily news bulletins. I hate to be an old foggy stick in the mud, but to me these three short runners appears to be the height of hypocrisy. “I can play in your playpen and you’d better not play in mine.” For a powerful nation like ours, the U. S., we meddle dangerously into every ones elses sphere and business, almost always in distant shores far from home.
The news items:
1. U. S. launches annual war games on NATO’s Eastern Front near Russian border.
(What if? The Russians launched annual maneuvers near or on the Texas-Mexican border? Hmm!)
2. U. S. to deploy more military patrols to the South China Sea. (Gen.Mattis)
(What if? The Chinese or the Russians were patrolling in the Caribbean or a little further south, around the Panama Canal ? Would the U. S. feel threaten? Naw, naw, we have nuclear weapons.
3. U. S. vetoes U.N. draft resolution to protect Palestinian lives.*
(Well at least we are not meddling in Israel’s business)a
*Conflicting casualty reports abound, but the best I could do was Israel Defense Force (IDF) of which questionably reports 40 Palestinians killed 5,511 injured the past two months. Palestinian reports deaths are in the 70s most shot by live fire.
All the Best to you.

Trump’s Hard Core Support, and the Douma, Syria Gas Coverup

Trump’s Hard Core Support, and the Douma, Syria Gas Coverup
Posted at 3:04 pm , on June 1, 2018
Greetings Readers,
Let us be completely up front, most of those I write for, to put it mildly, do not care for President Trump and his Administration; I don’t either, am not a fan, but let’s face a few facts, Trump may be around a long while including a second term as president. Honest, it’s possible.
President Trump has done a great deal for military budgets and particularly for the veterans; he has granted significant “out of this world” tax cuts and benefits and other favorable benefits to Wall Street; Mr. Trump is the most popular man on earth in the eyes of Natanyahu, Zionist Israel, and wealthy Jewish investors. These are the three pillars of support other U. S. president has not had in combination unless it was a time of all out war against unpopular foes.
Besides these powerful allies Trump has Alt-right Nazi-like racist neoconservatives and nationalist group followers dedicated to expansion and united in “Making America Economically Job Creating Great Again”. We cannot ignore these political elements. Furthermore there will be more division and bias contention if the economy goes south during Trump’s administration, and it will further divide the country more than it is at present. Lets not forget the those voters in the mid-west, distant from the populous liberal coasts, voted him in office and we certainly cannot discount them in a reelection at this point.
Trump will continue be a force in politics during the next decade even if he loses. Don’t count on impeachment or removal during his term he was democratically elected and has great legal support. There is no smoking gun.
I believe there has been a coverup in the alleged Douma, Syria gas attack that launched 106 missiles by three NATO counties that was urged on by Trump and company, remember? So what are the finding today…. reaching alleged attack you will find nothing current, but previous panic headlines. It is too damn shameful and embarrassing to bring up by U. N. investigator teams, and to all the other nations involved in the hoax at the time.
Heavy artillery and strong winds that night brought smoke and dust to underground passageways littered with garbage and awful as people hid as deeply as they could under the surface in cramped cubbyholes.
Most of the older experienced doctors were on leave in Damascus, and when the press arrived immediately after the attack they were told by the on duty medical staff an exaggerated gas horror story as they watched young children and babies with small limited lung capacity being treated complete with TV filming and photo coverage.
(Initial reports were 75 dead and 200 injured Prompting warhorse John Bolton, then on FOx, saying “What are we waiting for”? Later the toll was reduced to 40 dead)
So Readers, was it poison gas or garbage? Why did our world leaders jump to conclusions without proof? Is this an example of the way World War III could start by impatience and miscalculation?
All the Best to you.
