I heard tell
that Kim Jong Un fired a rocket
across the bow of Japan.
It must be something I said about
him being ignored by his Asian neighbors.
But I must say this last shot still won’t do
to get Asian attention.
He must arm these rockets with something
that explodes and light up the sky.
You know, something like Chinese firecrackers
that make like fireworks in July?
Trump finally met his wall.
This one is not of his own building.
It is of his own making.
He threatens to abolish NAFTA if he does not have his wishes.
Well good for him.
Dissolve the agreement.
Canada will still be “difficult” afterwards.
This country does not strive to be great again.
It already is!
With or without, no ifs nor buts,
it will not submit.
And no sanctions will make it to.
In truth, NAFTA and any other trade agreement,
is the only way to make sanctions work.
Getting into it is a trap.
And both Canada and Mexico know this.
They will be better off without NAFTA.
Trump should consider this :
Using American labor makes American products more expensive.
Coupled with border duties, at that resulting cost,
who would buy American products.
And thereafter, Americans will still buy cheaper
Canadian and Mexican goods.
Canada is “difficult”?
Think again…
The US has imposed malicious red tape on
the Keystone XL pipeline.
For some reason or another the entry through the border
has been stopped due to whatever licenses are needed.
Think again…..
this website of mine has stuck to the Trump cause
on whatever issue it encountered
even before his campaign started.
But Canada’s and the Canadians’ betterment
is my personal red line.
Shove off
or we will make ready all tubes.
If Trump thinks he can balance trade between
Canada, Mexico and America
by imposing conditions on NAFTA,
boy does he have another think coming!
Both the countries of Canada and Mexico believe
that free trade is a better deal for all countries
than that with no free trade at all.
NAFTA was ageed upon to do away with duties
and taxes that increase the price of the merchandise.
This is a rule that dictates trade between countries.
And this rule will be the basis to counter any
argument which Trump and company would bring forth
for the cancellation of NAFTA.
If saying so would be his effort to gain leverage
on the renegotiation of NAFTA,
then both Mexico and Canada
would accept his dare
and cancel NAFTA
by themselves.
In fact I would suggest that NAFTA be cancelled
so that after two years the consequence
would be felt and the mea culpas
would be sounded off.
As of now, the demands of the Americans
are yet to be known.
When we do know,
we will put up the arguments
that would prove that their demands
were not well thought out beforehand.
Afghanistan is unabashedly producing opium for trade.
In truth opium production appears to be the only industry
in the country.
Now President Trump, in his Address to the Nation,
outlined a determined assault on Afghanistan
to end the longest war.
I believe he would succeed, too,
even if he ends up using Gurkhas or Pathans,
or any other foreign army to do it.
But how about a more benign method to end the war
and at the same time leaving Afghanistan with a working industry?
You see, the Taliban and other terrorists have not touched
the opium farms one bit.
So much so that it will be safe to assume
that thety have a stake on the farms.
In that case, why don’t the Afghan government
install itself as the prime consumer of the opium products?
In such a situation the Afghan government can control
and regulate opium production.
The Taliban will then work for the government!
And what would the Afghan government do with the opium?
They can then start a pharmaceutical company
to harness and manufacture the opium.
Good plan, eh?
Trump is considering troops to Venezuela
Why?
Venezuela is none of his business!
Venezuela is nobody else`s business
but the Venezuelans.
Not everybody lives the way Americans do.
He should mind the problems obtaining in America
(whites against whites and not even because of blacks!)
and not those of other countries.
Let Venezuelans fix their own problem.
Unless the head of State of Venezuela ask for American help.
And then Trump can send in then infamous Black Water mercenaries.
Until that time, stop meddling into other countries`politics.
If Trump promised the Americans
that Mexico will pay for the wall
built on the border,
then he should prepare to fall flat on his face.
That will never happen.
Think of it this way—-
if you build a fence without the consent
of your next door neighbor,
you cannot force the neighbor to pay
part of the expense, much less pay for the wall completely.
Mexico did not ask the wall to be built.
And neither does Mexico need that wall.
So why would the next-door neighbor that is Mexico
pay for any part of the wall?
I told you so—-
nothing to worry about North Korea.
The neighbors of Kim Jong Un
are not scared of him.
Neither are they concerned about his missile tests.
This is a matter between Kim Jong Un and his people.
He has to display extreme power to maintain his power.
He is on that stage called growing up.
And don’t consider seriously the warnings coming from the UK.
The world did this about WMD and what happened?
The world went to topple and execute Saddam Hussein.
And there never was any WMD found.
And how many times has the UK cried wolf?
England still lives in the days of the British Indian Empire.
And the call of Omdurman’s Winston Churchill!

If the members of the US Congress
do not smarten up and pass something
good for the people,
both Republicans and Democrats,
would be replaced by a whole bunch
of Independents.
The North American Free Trade agreement or NAFTA
which include Canada, Mexico, and the US,
is to be renegotiated according to the wishes of Trump.
He is under the assumption that this agreement is unfair to the US.
He may try to get the details to find out that this is not so.
At first glance, it appears that the balance of trade
between Canada and the US favors Canada.
This means Canada exports more to the US
than vice versa.
One of the complaints by the US importers was that
Canadian softwood lumber was cheaper
because Canada is subsidizing the product.
So they tag export duties to Canada.
After a time the case was brought to the WTO but it
judged in favor of Canada.
The duties are still
being collected against the rules.
And then again Trump believes that America should
profit more from the trade than Canada does.
He still does not realize that this is so because
America buys more from Canada than vice versa.
Now what is there to renegotiate?
Canada will never agree to unfair export duties
and may revert to other trade options if necessary.
He should also try to investigate the source of the
Mad Cow Disease which erupted in Alberta some time ago.
After this tragedy, Alberta has not allowed any more
infected cows sent in with bad intent from a Louisiana farmer.
Trump’s world is now in turmoil.
Actually it was so even before he was inaugurated
as President of the United States.
Sad it is that the Democrats, the leftists,
and the losers of the last presidential election
are determined to throw him out of office.
It is the nature of the Americans
that they are poor losers in sports as
is demonstrated in international competitions.
It is hard to realize that they can also be
poor losers in elections.
Now the Democrats, the leftists
and the losers of the last presidential election
have declared that the elected President of the US
does not deserve the office
and are determined to contradict
whatever Trump says or does.
Sadder it is for the country
that Trump has already exceeded all expectations
in doing what is best for the country
despite adversarial efforts.
I personally believe that it is high time that Trump
fights back against his antagonists.
I would suggest that he start collecting
dossiers of those who are vocal against him
sort of like J. Edgar Hoover.
I suggest also that the cause for
collecting such information would be:
HARASSMENT!
This is one word that has yet to be considered
by the White House in all these years.
According to the sanctions on North Korea
this country will not be able to export its products
thereby crippling its earning capacity.
However, there was no mention of imports.
The country can still import goods
like ingredients for the bulgokis and the hot pots.
And Kim Jong Un can get these on credit
same as what Fidel did.
Say what?
Four Nokor Missiles for Guam?
Armed with what,
bean sprouts?:
Miniature warehedas, my eye….
they look like elements of a dismantled
multiple warhead from a
Russian ICBM.
They do look small enough so
that they can be bundled up together
to form one composite warhead
on a single ICBM nose cone.
I’ve made posts on this topic
for a couple of time already using the same odd title
which obviously I have started to misspell
due to monotony.
Trump talks tough on North Korea.
Finally he begins to learn the way Asians think.
His words are not that effective, though.
If you tell an oriental to stop firing missiles,
there will be a reply of,
“What for? I am not hitting anyone, am I?”
But if you say, “Stop, or else….”
Then you will have better results.
Why not demonstrate your seriousness
by firing an unarmed Polaris missile
“across the bow”?
Remember that North Korea does not have
a working navy, much less submarine sonar detectors.
Mayor of Chicago sues Federal government for withholding funds
for his sanctuary city.
Oh, he’s going to lose this one.
Illegal immigrants are criminals.
If it was Rahm Emanuel who ordered to turn
his city into harboring illegal immigrants
he himself becomes an accessory
to the crime.
He may refer to the SC decision that the Federal government cannot
force the state or city government to do as the
federal government decrees.
But this rule will not run contrary to the law that says
people who harbors criminals
may be treated as criminals.
Chicago may provide sanctuary to immigrants if
these immigrants are legal immigrants.
But then, this city may not be called sanctuary city, no?
Rahm Emanuel should know by now that Chicago
is not exactly holy enough
to provide sanctuary!
Trump should have known
that the effectivity of the sanctions
can be suspended for a time.
He can suspend the effectivity date of the sanctions
against Russia, Iran, and North Korea
selectively by countries.
It is within his powers to recall decisions
from his office according to better judgement.
if there is no such provision,
then his powers have been effectively clipped.
Think about it this way—-
if he suspends the effectivity of this sanctions,
he would have gained bargaining advantages
over the EU, Russia, Iran, North Korea,
and Congress, until such a time when he
lifts the suspension.
(can Trump see what I mean?)
They are now coming to discover the source of the leaks.
They will be most probably discover that
the leakers are not those who use transmission of
leaked data by mouth.
The leakers use subterfuge, and spying devices,
and listening antennas, and hidden microphones
to gather data.
By using these methods, they will now be considered as spies
and will be punished for publishing leaked data.
Why do they do this?
To collect damaging information to gain leverage
in the form of dossiers.
Now what do you think Nixon was looking for
when his people got caught rummaging thru files?
Probably his communications with
the North Vietnamese Army.
Dossiers are good persuasive documents when asking for
an increase in the allocations of intelligence services.
But with the advent of a cooperative agreement
between the intelligence services of Russia and America
some intelligence arms of the US would irrelevant.
And since they have nothing better to do now
but spy on the President
it would be logical to reduce their budget
to a considerably safe amount.
Safe enough to prevent billions of dollars
to be spent on propping up “friendly” foreign governments.
I would suggest looking for these devices everywhere
and put an umbrella of frequency jamming devices
over White House.
This is a war of intelligence
between intelligent people.
These missiles as fired
all appeared to be shooting up fast
and unguided.
This may mean that they do not have a guidance system installed
making the lighter so they come up that fast.
they also do not have a payload.
And since North Korea can fire missiles in succession
within a short period of time
these missiles are just in the form
of fuel and shell.
either they have missiles being shipped from somewhere outside
or they have found a Wehrner von Braun
to supervise the project.
It is good to know that North Korea fires missiles
at short intervals of time,
because by then we would know that Kim Jong Un
has not started to stockpile missiles
with guidance systems and with nuclear payloads.
for the meantime
let him play with his rockets.
Be afraid if he stops firing his missiles.
The House of Representatives put out sanctions against Russia.
Supplementary to this is the clause that prevents Trump
from recalling it nor change it.
Trump hesitates to sign this because the EU
is up in arms in protest.
EU needs the oil from Russia which the sanctions forbid.
This is one method by which the House of representatives
flexes its muscles in the hope of pleasing the 2018 voters.
Trump should sign this sanction against Russia.
Putin will understand that this is one handiwork from democracy.
He expelled several hundred foreign affairs employees from the
American embassies in Russia as a reply to the sanctions.
This act, of course, has little effect on the diplomatic relationship
between Putin and Trump.
But my hunch of America retreating into a cocoon
is starting to be realized.
The EU will make efforts to be independent of the US.
At this time the US will retreat into protectionism
to strengthen further its potency in both trade and weapons.
There will be better connectivity between Russia and EU.
Eventually, Nato will be re-exanmined for relevance.
The arctic will be more in focus.
Canada will again be ignored by the UN.
But it will keep sending Canadian soldiers in harms’ way
for the UN, to just be slain by friendly fire.
It will be a boon for Canada if it shuns Nafta
and seek beef trade with Russia and oil-trade with Japan.
Canada will further reconsider manufacturing small arms,
artillery, tanks, and gravity-powered drones.
By the time that America comes back to regain its place,
the EU would have established a laissez-faire policy
and the co-prosperity sphere that the Japanese shoguns
attempted to form would have been loosely established
like a cooperative.
Ah, but this is not wistful thinking.
This is just plain thinking.
Democrat lady Wasserman
is maybe in greasy water

My guess is that she was using him
in more ways than one!
And his double billing?
This is probably for overtime work!
I did say that there is meat for everyone
in my proposed Health Care System for the US.
I am referring mostly to the private insurance companies
that may be disowned by ther State/Federal controlled
Health care. Insurance.
Business companies may secure group insurance coverage
for their employees.
These group insurance companies may function like
Blue Cross or Blue Shield only
and will cover 20% of the costs for prescription drugs.
They will also cover the costs for dentures, eyeglasses,
wheelchairs, ambulances, and other
costs not covered by State Insurance.
Call these extra expenses as Health Solutions.
ALSO, whenever and whatever cost overruns are incurred by the
State insurance systems they can bill the
Federal Health to cover these.
Call these overrun bailouts as Transfer Payments
and should represent what is now a subsidized,
socialized payments.
These payments do reduce drastically the costs
for each and every member.
It should be understood that the system I proposed
is essentially a system wherein
TODAY’S HEALTHY PEOPLE PAY FOR THE
HEALTH COSTS OF TODAY’S SICK PEOPLE.
The State/Federal Health Care Insurance membership is compulsory
and every qualified employee will contribute
1/3 of the required amount via salary deductions,
2/3 will be contributed by the employers.
These contributions are tax deductible
for both employees and employers.
The State may modify the system.
Such modifications will constitute part of the pilot
project of the Federal Health System
and will be scrutinized after two years.
