HOT Alternative to ICE on the Border
Inventing alternatives to Immigration and Customs Enforcement all would be expensive. ICE is hated by those that seek easy civil invasion of the United States for the purpose of foreign conquest. Socialists tend to hate the USA when it resists global control and so will protest the existence of ICE and the President's willingness to enforce the laws regarding keeping the border secure. Why, they wonder, should a Chief Executive Officer enforce border security laws?
Getting rid of ICE would require an intermediate power on the border. If ICE is abolished the opportunity exists to create new government agencies arises. A Special Forces black ops division of the military with about 200,000 troops could be established while reducing the size of the Marine Corps 200,000 and shifting downsized Marines of quality to SFBOP. Initially SFBOP would be a civilian agency and would handle customs and immigration enforcement learning much about illegal aliens and disguises, methods of operation that would be useful later in another career as SFBOP soldiers.
A word about SFBOP assignments and qualifications later after their border security role is over and the agency is shifted to DOD gradually while civilians merge into a new Human Operations Tasks (HOT) agency patrolling the border. The 200,000 SFBOP would be an elite force with the skills of seals and rangers. There task would be as a rapid response force quicker and more numerous than the 82nd Airborne.
Human Operations Tasks would be able to summon law enforcement at state and local level into part-time, local support roles in identifying and arresting persons illegal in the United States. They would wear brown camouflage uniforms except when in urban areas. Urban attire for HOT workers should be custom designed cargo-pocket Levis or Dickeys alternatively with Nehru shirts and optional camouflage bullet proof cloaks with stealth invisibility features if DARPA made those yet.
Plainly the makeover of ICE into two new forces of SFBOP and HOT would be time consuming and expensive. HOT would need new vehicles to patrol a modernized Hadrian's wall on the border-perhaps Elon Musk's Tesla corporation could produce solar-power electronic vehicle to ride along the top of the wall with a solar fuel efficiency.

Why Have Google News Settings That are Ignored?
Every day I select the news feed option of hiding all stories from NPR and the Washington Post yet the settings are ignored apparently for the leftist propaganda just reappears some time later. Instead of naming the option 'hide all stories from the SOBs', Google should choose the more realistic name 'delete the vermin swine pig-dog rants to the deepest level of Hades', and actually honor the preference.
ICE Has 19 of Its 20,000 Agents Call for End of Ice
News agencies have reported the astonishing fact that more than a dozen ICE agents have signed a letter calling for the end of Ice. Nineteen of twenty-thousand agents is quite a high number; even alarming. One would expect 100% loyalty to the way things are in any government agency. Well, at least one or two would expect that,. I wouldn't myself expect that.

What American Socialism is Today
Law
enforcement in a democratic society can be a nuisance to socialists.
Socialism is a good excuse for supporting any sort of illegal actions
that can be construed with populism for someone somewhere including
an external proletariat pressuring to illegally occupy the United
States. Socialism is a convenient excuse for social irresponsibility
so long as one's narrow private self-interests prosper. Socialists
need never make any sort of sacrifice personally though they may, if
so inclined and without concern for the legality.
Socialists
don't need to understand socialism at all. They need only feel good
about being social and average. Excellence is OK if one is socialist
or is friendly to popular social concerns such as abortion illegal
drug use, illegal immigration, equal salaries and board positions for
the most rich women and minorities etc. Socialism is o.k if it is
racially driven to benefit a large internal proletariat with an
external proletariat to reinforce it. Traditionally decadent pursuits
are alright if they help break down any sort of traditional virtue or
objective and competitive social standards.
Socialism
is a way of life that can advance the most rich; billionaires, that
support an anti-traditional morality establishment, such as the rush
of Corporate powers to support homosexual marriage and terminate the
CEOs that acted in opposition to it. For contemporary socialism the
means and lifestyle of the means is more important than the end.
There is no end goal such as Marxist envisioned of a socialist
utopia; instead an evolving corporatism can be named as socialism
personified.
That
is my take on the way modern socialist work. So the inefficiency of
Obamacare that expanded health care at tremendous cost yet left many
of the poor out (who must travel routinely to find work) was welcome
when more practical solutions and systems designs for health care for
the poor were available (I made up a few myself). The trouble with
American socialism is that it generally follows corporatism criteria
and is like goats eating the grass right down to the roots. It kills
off any sort of populist reform movements and political changes of
any kind that are ecospherically rational.
Capitalism
should be reformed such that wealth is not over-concentrated and all
citizens have lifetime opportunities for real economic and
existential adequate lifestyle. Economics and capitalism could be
reformed and made to serve the world ecospheric health immanently.
Developers are Moving to Gitlab from Github SInce MS Bought It
Apparently there are opportunities for developers to choose other host locations for open source software that formerly was placed at the iconic Github recently nuked with Microsoft money. The vast forced advertising and pop-up video technology of Microsoft must have designs on finding ways to exploit information about open sources operating systems from propriatary ownership rights at Github.
https://www.dailydot.com/debug/microsoft-github-gitlab/
If Microsoft made an operating system more like linux without all the time consuming intrusive features immanent in Windows it might find a place in the lives of normal constructive operating system users that are not there simply to consume. Linux is better for workers with computers rather than consumers that like to spend extra money on things such as system security and have silly AI minders even sticking intrusive email pop ins while playing bullet chess.

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.
“There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”

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)

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
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.
Internet News Pages are Cluttered With Too Many Ads
Even with an Intel i5 processor news pages are
increasingly a pain to use. There are so many ads and pop up, unwanted videos
running as tag-alongs and so forth that it is actually difficult to read many
news pages.
Click on a
page and it moves up and down like the saccadic eye movements of a drunk lying
in the gutter as content continues to be layered on it. Apparently the more ad
content there is on each page the greater the revenue is through advertiser
sales. It makes it challenging to read in some cases.
Then of
course there are the interesting lead stories that have 15 items such as the
top fifteen states in supporting foreign government and illegal immigrants that
you can only view one item at a time on 15 different pages because they sell
more ads that way. Instead of waiting for the page to load and scroll to the
bottom on a page that is difficult to scroll because it is a moving target to
get to the next page arrow with new junk appearing and the screen display
automatically readjusting, I just wipe the page out and never get to page 2.
It becomes
even sillier when trying to load certain sports news pages on a somewhat smart
phone that would probably require a supercomputer with thousands of cores in
gpu and cpu to run because of all of the ads and videos one must endure to find
the answer to a simple inquiry such as when the next candidate's tournament in
chess will be, exactly. Actually Yahoo sports is the most clean and easy to
load of the pages that are the first option.

Press Sect Violates Her Official Gov Twitter Office
| Official US Eagle at the Office |
The ethics Guru said that the press secretary should have used her personal account rather than one with her job title on it. Evidentally her job title conveys an official status to the Twitter account. The Guru said using a twitter account was the same as if an ATF guy pulled out his badge at a restaurant when they want to throw him out. I hadn't previously known that Twitter has badge status and will sure to be more respectful if I ever get a Twitter account.
https://www.ajc.com/news/sarah-huckabee-sanders-tweet-about-restaurant-eviction-violates-law-ethics-chief-says/ZpTNACvTTTTCzvfSL2WrbN/
In a way, the Red Hen expulsion was done for official, though perhaps not rising to official Twitter status, reasons. So it seems reasonable that the press Sect replied within her Official Twitter account. After all Sanders was booted for on-the-job causes. Like Homeland Security Chiefs, A Press Sect Chief never sleeps.
In my opinion the Sanders' report was more like an Army action/observation report where one comments on, what is it? Size, location, unit, number, activity etc. on an official form.
The boss of the Red Hen probably did not even offer to give the Official Twitter-Certified Press Secretary a doggy bag. Sarah Sanders should have just zipped it and ate out back with the rest of the Republicans and rode home in the back of the bus wearing hijab.
The Official Twitter event...
Civilians Trapped in SW Syria Should Move to Iraq via Jordan
The
Syrian government attack on Dera
(a city and region) with Russian
air support has the potential to conclude the southern part of the
war. The United States has said it won't support the rebel's last
enclave in that part of the nation (it has a lot of ISIS and Al Qaeda
personnel there in addition to misc rebels and 800,000 civilians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9NZSblhqTs Al Jezera article on the topic

| CIA Factbook image of Syria and Dara |
The United States should work with Jordan to provide logistics for possible civilian refugees that can't remain in Jordan should they flee there, and to truck them to refugee camps in Iraq. Iraq should be able to provide intermediate range support for their Sunni brothers and sisters.
Kurds should be part of any sort of long-term peaceful stabilization of Syria such that they have a portion of Syria annexed onto their semi-autonomous Iraqi confederation. Iraq has a confederation of ethnic and sectarian people can become more of a central stabilizing influence and buffer to the extremists puritanical tribes and religious sects of the Middle East.
When the Nxxt FIDE Candidate's Tourney Is, Isn't Certain
Finding out the date of the next candidate's tournement isn't too easy. It must exist somewhere and not just as a TBA. Why is it important? Former world champ Anand will be 50 in 2020 so it would be interesting to learn if his birthday is before or after the tourney. Many chess players who are over 50 would be rooting for the former champion to qualify or alternatively summit Mt. Chimborazo.
https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-story-of-a-picture
The alternative FIDE logo for the Carlsen-Caruana world championship match looks a little too much like some deranged idea of a homosexual kama sutra. Hopefully it wasn't some sort of a slur at the former world champion's nationality. The former champ has been married (to a female) more than 20 years.
