Do the videos also show how he made the lame walk, the blind see and the deaf hear, in the hospital?

Sad story on CNN International last night about a Greek-born man of Iraqi descent who had spent most of his life in the USA and never lived in Iraq or spoke/understood Arabic, had bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and a criminal record, being deported to Iraq (because he counted as Iraqi, as Greece does not confer nationality on those born there) and dying on the streets as a diabetic unable to obtain insulin. Deportations of Iraqis are apparently part of Trump policy in exchange for refraining from prohibiting Iraqis from entering the USA.

CNN's Hala Gorani speaks with the immigration attorney for Jimmy Aldaoud

Pretty sad story, born in a refugee camp, bipolar, schizophrenia, depression & anxiety and diabetic, he didn't get dealt a very good hand, worth remembering how lucky we are.

I grateful for the absence of someone who would say he brought it on himself.

Trump admin officials request baby orphaned in El Paso shooting be brought back to the hospital to serve a prop in photo op.

Ignorant orange clown grins broadly and flashes thumbs up while posing with said orphan.

If you look up, way way up, you see a small tiny circle of light, thats where the bottom of the barrel used to be.

"White House aides had not allowed media into the hospital during the visit, saying it was 'not a photo op'."

They are selling , there farm to some " Farm Corporation" This will make trump happy

Does not make any sense!
Why would Kim apologise for testing the short range missiles; that would be a huge loss of face!
Why does Trump allow exercises if they are ridiculous and expensive?

The baby‘s uncle, brother of the murdered father agreed to bring the baby back in and said the family supported Trump. There‘s an interview of the guy on NPR.
He wanted an opportunity to talk to Trump. Whether that came to pass, I don‘t know.

Here‘s the interview

Back in mid June
Latest reports are they netted 35 illegal immigrants! Of course the migrant families took care not to be at home after Trump kindly warned them!

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on last Wednesday arrested roughly 680 undocumented immigrants at seven Mississippi poultry processing facilities.

Seems they had to release almost half of them later whose documentation was at home, not with them at work.

Since Americans are not interested in working at Mississippi poultry processing facilities due to the poor wages and conditions it is expected the vacancies will soon be filled by other (illegal) immigrants.

My quote of the year from journalist and novelist Michael Wolff;

Wishful thinking, in the real world Chines exports were up 3% last month versus July a year ago.

Meanwhile the US President and leader of the free world is spreading conspiracy theories by retweeting.
As was posted before, we long ago went through the bottom of the barrel.

That tweet was really surreal.

Who needs infowars if you've got the POTUS twitter account?
;-)


That said, the Epstein suicide is going to be the gift that keeps on giving.

Never a dull moment!

As we get ever close to the next election Trump will generate ever more wild and extreme actions and gimmicks.

I know, but that has no bearing on the request to bring the orphan to the hospital, nor on the inappropriateness of big grins and thumbs-up over said orphan, I think we know whether he got a chance to talk, if it had happened we'd have seen the propaganda already.

Claims not supported by facts!
Trump has yet to finalise any major trade deal.
Despite Trump claims there have been no new increases in military payments by NATO countries since the 2014 Wales NATO Summit spending agreement.

Strange day today!
A number of Democratic candidates (Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), former congressman Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio) resurrected false claims about the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., by a white policeman five years ago.

The DOJ based on forensic evidence and witness statements stated it was self defense.

Meanwhile the US budget deficit after 10 months is now $866.8 billion compared to $779 billion for the whole of 2018 despite Trump's tariffs probably being responsible to almost double customs duties to $57 billion in the period. Looks like the deficit will be over $1 trillion by year end

Finally Trump dumped multiple times on former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci following a familiar pattern of former aides stoking the anger of a president who puts a premium on loyalty.

More rhetoric but the reality is;

• Tariffs are paid by US consumers/taxpayers
• Farmer subsidies are also paid by US taxpayers
• In the year since July 2018 US exports to China fell by $33Bn (21%) whereas Chinese exports to US grew $4Bn (1%)
• To date this year the trade surplus with China has grown by $168Bn.
• 2Q 2019 US economy grew 2.1%, China by 6.2%
• US budget deficit this fiscal year is heading to $1 Trillion.
• Despite Trump trade restrictions Huawei grew smartphone business by 1%, Apple's business fell.

So far China seems to be surviving the trade war better than the US?

Trump and his ego!

For most of my life I have heard “markets hate uncertainty”.

I think most people would agree with this sentiment.

So why in hell doesn’t this [expletive deleted] bar-steward make a plan, and then stick to it?

That photo has been photoshopped. It's Trump's head on a Tibetan monk's body, I'm sure of it.

His hands are way too big.

Trump backing down bigly
Major step for Trump to back off from his decision for adding 10% tariffs to all Chinese imports that currently do not carry Trump tariffs. It seems without gaining any reciprocal concessions from the Chinese?
Full details later; seems no tariffs on smartphones and computers despite him tweeting three weeks ago "Apple will not be given Tariff waiver, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China. Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!"

Great relief in Wall St., Dow rose 500!

It was one of his sudden unilateral decisions to invoke such new tariffs apparently without discussing with his aides. Trump has now painted himself into a corner; wonder what stupid he will try next to attempt to win his trade war?
