More from the CNN Has Lost Its Mind category; network is claiming the Trump White House altered a transcript from the Helsinki Summit. What’s hysterical is that the way it is altered it reads like an admission of guilt from Russian President Vladimir Putin on election meddling. Q: Did you direct any of your…

The European Union Tariffs have been imposed by President Donald Trump – get ready for the trade war of all trade wars! Or not. The Stock Market didn’t seem to care — it cared more the other day about Samantha Bee, or something, when it dropped 200 points. The Market has rebounded on a strong…
The press corps is up in arms about the President and China trade relations, particularly ZTE (a China telecom company). ZTE has been called a security threat for the company’s ties with the government, and possible malware embedded in its phones and communications equipment.

By now President Donald Trump has made headlines around the world for pulling out of the Iran Deal. Call it the Iran Deal, the Iran Nuclear Deal, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA or JCPA), by any name the deal is not a program to “denuclearize Iran,” or stop the proliferation of nuclear…
Mongolia? Who’s idea was this? This has to be a joke; Having the Korean Summit in Mongolia is the worst joke ever told. When was the last time Mongolia held anything besides Buzkashi Premiere League Championship? What is Buzkashi? We’ll get to that (since our diplomats will have to learn, apparently). Think Polo with a…
DPRK announces it is halting ballistic missile tests ahead of the Summit with President Trump, following meeting with CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Trading nukes for food.
“We no longer need any nuclear tests, mid-range and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests” – Kim Jong-Un
Can we take anything CNN says seriously anymore? This pre- detente between America and The People’s Republic of North Korea has them throwing fits. It took CNN no less than a minute after the announcement was made from the White House for a panel of CNN nitwits to just start ripping on President Trump. …
“Societal Change happens only with the cooperation and coordination of the ruling class majority. Only people in power can change the power dynamic for everybody. It is very hard for the oppressed to change the power dynamic because there is always a concerted effort by the powerful to keep them in place; powerless. Protestants in…
For all the fury and fiery reactions to President Donald Trump’s words yesterday, North Korea and Kim Jong-Un has been conspicuously quiet today. And isn’t that the point, afterall?…
Fri Aug 11: I’m going to say; This NoKo action could be a way to test or expose US missile defense system (THAAD). China may be using Pyongyang as a proxy provocateur to see what the US is capable of defensively, and observe how we respond; watch the Navy and Air Force…
North Korea – Not sure I want to see China take military measures against the No. Korean regime. Diplomatic? Yes. Military action…? Not so much. We have never seen Chinese military capabilities on display and I’m sure that’s their long term strategy – all this time they’ve never upped the ante, just…
The Economist Intelligence Unit Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt have all cut transport and diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of funding and supporting regional terrorism. Although Qatar Airways has in turn cancelled all flights to Saudi Arabia, the material effects of the fallout are likely to hit…
Today is gut check day. The day after a small summit meeting between these United States and Russia. Things were said, promises made, doubts were raised. And in the end, we will see whether Russia can be honest and trustworthy going forward. In years past these tete a tetes ended with Russia saying one thing…
I really don’t have anything to say about this one, I really don’t. I feel like a review of the movie Wonder Woman would get more views. …- BC
DHS Secretary, John Kelly , “I don’t see the big deal.” General HR McMaster, “We have backchannel communications with a number of countries…So, no, I would not be concerned about it.” Col Cedric Leighton, Air Force (ret.), “There is absolutely no doubt that backchannel communications have been used in the past to great effect.”
Fareed Zakaria began and ended his show on CNN this morning with his take on Saudi Arabia, namely its role in global terrorism and the Manchester Bombing. I like Fareed when he talks about history and economics, not so much when he gives a dissertation on terrorism. I wouldn’t say he’s pro-terrorist, but he does…
Another city, another suicide bombing; more confusion where there shouldn’t be. I’m thinking back oh, 100 days or so ago to the airport protests here in the United States. Dozens of airports across the nation teeming with protesters enraged about the so called “Muslim Ban.” Americans were so angry that 6-8 ‘Muslim majority countries’ had…
