Lebron James Could Lead the Human Endangered Species to Ecosphere Renewal?


The NBA champion San Francisco Warriors were not the only NBA team with a black majority that were motivated by racism to insult the President of the United States and the usual invitation to the White House to celebrate their victory. LeBron James also supported the protest a of white man in the White House movement that followed of course, the exit of a black President from office. The NBA is overwhelmingly a black league; the game lends itself to racial preferences because of the few and odd numbers, and discrimination by whites against blacks is politically unfavored these days, so blacks have the court power largely to themselves.

Though James is a damaged item after his public racism against the white President (well, some Democrats called him somewhat orange during the 2016 campaign and Inspector Mueller should look in to that), his fate is still interesting; will he go to the Lakers with a great young front court pair of guards an be the old man, or not? If the Lakers can find one additional star to go with James somewhere, the Lakers may be able to win a championship. Even if they can't, the team personnel would be rather fascinating to watch as they would have more personality than the robotic Warriors with a star guard who looks like he wears a pacifier (there are more fashionable teeth guards available such as most players use).

LeBron James should take a good look at reports from the White House and the way Presidents have conducted themselves and consider if they are treated fairly by the media. The Starr Report on Bill Clinton said that on numerous occasions he "kissed and fondled the breasts" of a woman other than his wife in the Oval Office. If Donald Trump had done that in office would the media treat him with equal kindness?

LeBron James could be a moral agent of good influence if he works diligently at comprehending that President Trump needs to serve all Americans. Black Americans politically don't seem in the public political arena to care about anything besides racial issues. What about eliminating public debt, securing the borders against illegal immigration and increasing taxes on the rich in order to pay off the public debt?

Lebron James should be a leader in ecosphere protection and no-net-loss of ecosphere habitat. A strong push needs to develop to stop loss of species as there is a great mass extinction going on. The public and especially there political leaders are in some ways largely stupid about the need to change the economy from one that consumes and destroys the ecosphere to one that is more in a symbiotic relationship with it. With some thought beyond the black species political self-interests against other species, James could coalesce leadership of all species (comparing races to species as if they were on equal footing with all of the animal species being destroyed while humans over consume, over-drive fossil fuel cars,build highways and eliminate ecospheric health and sustainability).


U.S. Should Build Advanced Drone and Eco-Research Base in Spratly Islands

Plainly the Spratly Islands should have a U.S. Air Force Drone Base that would support ecospheric habitat conservation efforts in the Spratly Islands. Perhaps Vietnam would help staff the facility and man anti-aircraft positions with Sam missiles in order to provide protection from Chinese anti-environment warriors from a rival base of purpose in the region.

Fish and fowl will be the losers ion the power struggle to exploit resources in the South China Sea without ecospheric supervision on the scene.

Washington Post Says SOCUS Will Fall to Chaos

  I have hit the filter out the Washington Post button numerous times in Google news yet  sensationalist and extremely biased headlines from the Washington Post keep appearing. Well, that may not be so bad since I a few comedy news headlines a day are not a bad thing. This one about chaos rolling in like a fog on little cat's feet over the Supreme Court because of the retirement of Judge Kennedy is a good enough example for government work.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/with-anthony-kennedys-departure-the-supreme-court-will-fall-to-chaos/2018/06/27/a052dfde-5a01-11e7-a9f6-7c3296387341_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.12c7273d6a6d

If one were to accept the premise of the headline then plainly extraordinary intervention should be required to bring adult supervision to the playground where the Supreme Court hangs out. Maybe a Special Supervisor Magistracy Office could be established to help out with the food fights and mass confusion.

Supreme Court Rules Against Gov Unions- What About Gardens?

SOCUS made a right-to-work ruling against unions that allows government workers to opt out of unions and still have a job. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/supreme-court-issues-devastating-ruling-against-labor-unions_us_5af9ec8fe4b09a94524b2ae9

That is great news since it allows the people to run government rather than special interests. Unions could blacklist people and prevent them from working for the government, yet no more.

If the Supremes would have an opportunity to make it illegal to for cities to outlaw growing gardens instead of lawns or from planting fruit trees the nation would be more self-reliant on food and not appear spoilt.

Supremes Ruled Against Mass Citizen Internment ie Japanese Americans in WW II

The rights of citizenship ought not be attacked from within or without. Mass arrests of citizens because of race or religion during time of war is wrong, and it's right that the court ruled against a law that could be used to mass arrest citizens for some reason or other during peacetime too.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/06/26/supreme-court-overrules-korematsu-case-hated-civil-libertarians/734630002/

President Trump's desire to stop illegal aliens at the border and return them without full due process rights should be correct too, as millions of illegal aliens given due process of law reduce the quality of due process for citizens-not that that matters to the rich that can afford the best lawyers. Yet for the poor and middle class facing judges with too little time to spend on examining individual cases in detail because they have so many people to process means they may experience  incarceration en mass because judges had to mass produce legal procedures and sentences callously.

The problem with allowing millions of illegal aliens in the United States could, if history repeated itself loosely, might make civil war necessary instead of the mass detention of a few hundred thousand or even a million or two members of an internal proletariat allied with an external proletariat waging war upon the nation. If the rule of law was applied with the courts Korematsu decision prevailing during such a conflict as I wrote above, civil conflict rather than incarceration of a few would be the likeliest historical remedy that would work.

Philippines' Pres is Godless- US Should Close Embassy

Apparently a godless atheist neo-fascist admirer of Communist China, President Duturte of the Philippines has made some silly and crude theological comments disparaging God. It is not surprising that he has moved closer toward communist China since he apparently shares the atheism of the leaders of that nation.

It is important to choose friends carefully. The President of the Philippines is not a friend of God's, and the United States generally tries to be. While Duturte is leading the Philippines the U.S.A. should suspend diplomatic relations.

Perhaps President Duturte would like to be President for Life as is China's Supreme Leader. Even if he reduces the number of drug traffickers that challenge his nation, his godless influence presents a poor example of human decency, faith and understanding of theological questions about the divine to his people.

If the United States is lucky we could close the embassy to the Philippines, and stop reinforcing that nation with its monstrous leadership. It is no wonders that Muslim terrorists are finding it profitable to work in the region, motivated to fight against godlessness. Maybe the Trump administration should allow the Philippines to go to the devil and allow freedom an anti-intellectual license to have its day.

Harley Davidson Started Production Abroad in Obama Era (2014)

Harley Davidson started moving production offshore during the Obama administration in 2014. Street motorcycles to be sold abroad were then planned to be built in India. Harley was just late in getting into the trend toward globalization that has devastated American jobs and wages for decades. https://www.reuters.com/article/harleydavidson-results-offshoring/harley-davidson-a-u-s-icon-highlights-offshorings-perils-idUSL2N0PX1MT20140722

Harley Davidson had planned to build a motorcycle production facility in Thailand years before the recent tariffs President Trump established..

https://fox43.com/2017/05/23/usw-condemns-harley-davidsons-plan-to-manufacture-motorcycles-in-thailand/

The iconic American motorcycle manufacturer has had declining U.S. sales as younger Americans have alternative transport preferences to the Hog. In fact by 2017 at least 40% of Harleys were sold abroad.

In 2016 an article in the Wall Street publication The Street called Harley Davidson stock "a dog" and said that it had nowhere to go but down. Apparently the company was evaluated as having poor customer relations.  https://www.thestreet.com/story/13508474/1/here-s-why-harley-davidson-stock-will-soon-plunge.html

So the new corporate strategy appears to have been to expand overseas.

Design Software to Beat AI at Anything

There is so much progress going on with artificial intelligence. New gpu with thousands of cores and vast left-wing cpus may support tremendous AI learning with portability. Chess algorithm's beat surpassed human players long ago. 
Now https://bgr.com/2018/06/25/openai-dota-2-bot-can-beat-human-players/

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611536/a-team-of-ai-algorithms-just-crushed-expert-humans-in-a-complex-computer-game/

It is time that games are designed specifically that would let human players win and artificial intelligence forced to lose. It is possible and might have collateral benefits in the future, who knows? Equally as much work should go into defeating artificial intelligence programming in theoretical research to make real applications as goes into building up artificial intelligence The one-sided line of development doesn't seem especialy bright.

Stopping Illegal Immigrants at Border Must Be Just and Cheaper


Illegal immigrants to the United States are quite costly in tax dollars an in the quality of judicial services for those in the U.S.A. legally. Federal and state judges have a limited budget and for every addition to a court docket the simple facts of economics and quality vs. quantity apply. With the same number of judges and adjudications officers the fewer the number of cases that reach them the better the quality of work they can do on each case. Illegal aliens given the same legal protections as those in the nation lawfully degrade the quality of legal services ordinary people have.

http://www.uscourts.gov/statistics-reports/federal-judicial-caseload-statistics-2017-tables

An inner city judge may need to process court cases like fish as the backlog is great. Illegal aliens make that worse. When a judge has too many cases and too little time to spend on each one the justice given tends logically to be more inexact and unable to discover the nuances of each case and individual before him or her at the bench. That is bad.

So President Trump’s will to treat illegal aliens with fewer rights; the equivalent of treating illegal combatants with fewer rights than ordinary prisoners of war is rightly intended if possibly legally incorrect. The U.S. prison city already cost 89 billion dollars a year. The judiciary and law enforcement people cost much, and the cost of adjudicating and sheltering illegal aliens is high. With gangs on the increase in the U.S.A. it is plain that stopping illegal entry with a wall and avoiding all the subsequent social costs is a good intention. Summary deportation for those illegally entering the nation is a law that should be created by the Congress if it does not already exist.

It would be good to think that equal protection of the law actually worked in the United States for those here legally, and that it was a responsive and human justice system rather than one bum rushing citizens about and sometimes to jail for life because it is too busy with illegal aliens to spend so much time as it should on determining the resolution of important issues in the lives of those encountering its condign power, such as freedom, property and life or death.

Harley Davidson Hogs May Be Bred Overseas


The Harley Davidson motorcycle; an American icon, will be made overseas in the future to a certain extent the company said.


Europeans have killed the Hog with tariffs so HD will have to move abroad in quest of cheaper labor. I suggest Japan and Taiwan for new production facilities.

Japanese like Hogs and are excellent workers and great engineers. They may be able to tweak the Hog with some growth hormones that will improve it. HD should have some sort of super-electric motorcycle able to recharge in park in a Phoenix parking lot.

The rising Chinese economy is also a good market for HD. Probably they would be able to produce China-specialized motorcycles cheaper even with sanctions and all the rest; for Chinese consumption. Saudi Arabia may be a good place to sell Hogs since women can now drive on the street legally.

Americans will want to ride American made motorcycles and those in the future might become specialized 3D printed electric motorcycles or designer motorcycles from some specialized HD American Division. Good luck and sayonara Harley Davidson.
