The United States may
well go the way of China. There is a
point where you can’t “externalize” the costs of doing business any more
because the pollution is too bad. They
say that they take filters off of smoke stacks and of the populace complains
about that, they send thugs to beat them up.
They can’t reduce labor costs any more because they have already
developed robotics to a high degree and besides- - China has so many people
that numbers along will insure they never get paid decent salaries. The article says “Both capital and human
capital – creativity – are leaving China”.
China just wants to drag us down with it.
Tom
Brady’s under-inflated balls won’t keep him from playing in the opening game
this NFL season with the Patriots. A
judge lifted his suspension and now it’s a thing of the past. Donald Trump says that he and Tom Brady are
good friends. President Obama has been
in Alaska the past several days perhaps congratulating Shell oil for their
drilling victory. Yeah you can grant
these leases and they will boost energy supplies- - but they only delay the point
at which we can and must get serious about doing something about global
warming, who people like Judy just don’t take for the serious problem it is.
Donald Trump has been
nabbed for not knowing who the “Kuds” forces are in Iran, some revolutionary
guard- - -or who Swehari was. George W
didn’t know who the leader of Pakistan was in the year 2000 and this lack of
knowledge didn’t hurt him. All Trump has
by way of response of “I’ll get the best people on it and your head will spin
with how well my foreign policy is”.
Clearly I consider it a chink in Trump’s armor that Hugh Hewitt
uncovered. Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush have
both criticized Donald Trump for not knowing.
Most Christians say
that God is Love. Gene Scott says “God
is Power”. I guess there is a problem
to reducing God to any one thing and calling that one “thing” as “God”. Thom is wrong on Romans because the early
chapters of Romans specifically go into detail about the sin and ravages of
homosexuality. I had Donald Trump’s
speech yesterday on during the bottom of the hour break. I watched “Ring of Fire” before nine and the
argument was advanced that Sanders is MORE amenable towards women’s rights than
is Hillary Clinton. Hard core liberals
take exception to the idea that abortions should be “Rare”, which to their ears
somehow imply you can’t be FOR abortion unless you are for a LOT of abortions
going on – as many as possible, almost making a sacrament out of Abortions.
I watched the Nebraska
and Brigham Young game from one thirty on, played in Lincoln. First Nebraska was ahead, then it was BYU,
and then Nebraska was on top again 28 to 24.
Nebraska hasn’t lost an opening game since 1985 when it was also hot,
and they lost to Florida State. I listened
to Rhapsody in Black on FM 90.7 - - in two different sessions. Today it was September of 1960 but I
recognized only one song from that date, which was “Save the Last Dance for Me”. I recognized five songs in all. The other four were “Chain Gang” popular late
summer 1961, and “The Twist” (January 1962) and “Finger Popping Time” by Hank
Ballard (spring 1961) and “You Talk Too Much” by Joe Jones from late spring of
1960. There were some surprises
though. There was a faster version of “Spoonful”
by Howling Wolf”, and “I’m Shaking” later done by the Blasters in late 1981,
and then there was “Shimmy Shake” that obscure song the Beatles performed while
in Hamburg. There were also tracks, I
believe by the Olympics, Little Willy
John, and James Brown, but nothing you’ve heard.
