Thin film calendars with changing art (such as Picasso and Renoir) would be useful to have; especially if they automatically updated the month and highlighted the day. They should require fewer than five dollars to purchase. A bonus would be if they had wireless too in order to run important headlines from a source of one's choice.
After eight years of a black President it would have been too much to expect that black leaders would accept business as usual with the election of a white President. For whatever reason black leaders have been vociferous in their attacks on President Donald Trump since January 2017. Black Lives Matter riots and the NFL knee taking during the national anthem were two of the lightening rods for restive black existential expressions of hatred of white America and white traditions. Race relations might have been improved a little better by a transition to a new President without the acrimony and hatred of black leaders for the new President. President Trump isn't perfect yet he is the President and doing the best he can for the people of the United States. The nation does not benefit by fielding a permanent intifadah against the U.S, chief executive. Democracy benefits from a tripartite balance of powers that is not improved with negating one of the branches. A permanent bureaucratic morass is the default government style that really isn't to excellent for anything or anyone. http://thehill.com/homenews/media/400659-don-lemon-fires-back-at-trump-this-president-traffics-in-racism-and-is-fueled There will be another President some day and the history of racial attack for several years is not a good one to have for the next era. Allowing democracy to work is important, even more so than unelected expressions of power.
The trade war has consequences of course. Con meaning with and sequences meaning order and continua of some form. Utilitarianism has a field called consequentialism in which one judges the morality of an action through examination of its consequences. I suppose that includes intention to, or actions with good or bad intentions could have good or bad consequences that are accidental rather than through design, and so the action could be judged moral therefrom without anything besides a corresponding formulaic meaning to determine its moral value. If the trade war is substantive it may generate good or bad consequences from which evaluation and grading of its utility may be made. President Trump and other leaders have numerous variables to adjust. They may explore those and implement actions suggested from the present and even speculated criteria economically. Europeans have been critics of the President for some time largely. The trade war paradoxically could be used to address one of the root issues Europeans lambast the President of the United States about- the environment and global warming. One cannot be sure that Europeans have any real intention to modify toward the positive the problem of human caused ecospheric jeopardy. They could try some measures that are adequate to meet the challenge themselves yet they seem to want a partnership or collective global approach to global warming. That approach isn’t adequate and mostly serves to enlist support for ancillary causes such as socialism, homosexual marriage etc. Europeans could be leaders and just quit using cars. It is possible to use other forms of transportation for the masses and individuals such as hyper-tubes and electric shuttles locally. Fundamentally it is bureaucratic inertia seeking to cultivate a we are the real insiders mentality globally as if that method would not itself lead toward flirtation with democide. President Trump could put a 500% tariff on foreign auto imports in order to encourage Europeans from dumping tools of ecocide upon the world. https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-unleash-irreversible-hothouse-earth-scientists-warn-global-warming-climate-change-feedback A region that abandons antipathetic tools and replaces them with eco-recovery technology would be a global leader. So much needs to be done to upgrade to a new global infrastructure that is not simply an expanded and refined historical economic way of exploiting the ecosphere and converting it into product without reason. At the top there is little to no leadership to reform capitalism. Instead various forms of competiton and collectivism organizationally prevail, and that forward drive affects most planetary political systems in place today regardless of their political philosophy. A trade war is a kind of blip or disrupt to that standard way of business expansion leading to ecocide. It is not a very substantial blip. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has very little content on the philosophy of corporatism. Here is a quote from what it does have that illuminates part of the problem… https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/friedrich-hayek/notes.html quote from note #7 " Adaptation to the niche of political entrepreneurship consists of becoming a better predator in a game where the predators make the rules. Politicians learn to cooperate, to be sure, but mainly with fellow predators. An evolving political order is increasingly dominated by corporatism (more pejoratively known as crony capitalism, where politically favored CEOs acquire the power to regulate their competitors), which is entrepreneurship of a destructive kind. Boettke 1995 articulates the theory of public choice implicit in Hayek."
Alex Jones' Internet platform is under real and solid attack. He has had his political shows taken down from Youtube, Facebook and Apple podcast. Fundamentally those corporations are under the sway of homosexuals that hate anti-homosexual political positions. Jones is a prime supporter of Donald Trump so the Democrat corporations have good reason to pull the plug on political opposition. It is Mussolini's political philosophy of corporatism in action. When President Obama's Supreme Court allowed hate speech and hate crimes legislation to become law the corporations were armed with an example to emulate useful in killing free political speech and opposition points of view. Corporate wants shit eating mutts for sycophancy in the media. Alex Jones reports on an important side of current events and social structure the establishment usually ignores. The 1% concentrating wealth is not an illusion. The Democrat Party is deaf, dumb, blind and stupid these days in working as hard as they can to destroy the heritage of national independence and self-reliance so far as possible. They are shop stewards working for the rich as leaders of a company-owned union. The broadcast media is owned by that 1% establishment- it isn't imaginary. A good Canadian philosopher named John Sauls published a book on corporatism in contemporary society in 1999 named The Unconscious Civilization. I don't believe he has written another book on that topic since. I recall him writing someplace that he had a family to take care of. Corporatism can shut anything down just like Muslim theocracy, imperialism and communism can. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/08/06/alex-jones-show-removed-other-infowars-content-services/912742002/ https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/06/facebook-removes-alex-jones-pages/ https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/06/apple-pulls-alex-jones-infowars-podcasts-for-hate-speech.html Apple the Trillion dollar corporation removed most of Alex Jones' podcasts; that's corporatism at work and a reason why the government should have some kind of citizen back-up venue to let publishing remain permanently even when public corporate platforms disappear.

SPLC appears to have left a semblance of neutrality and objectivity these days being so far removed from the 1960s and later when there were actually numerous groups perping violence that required tracking. SPLC could include CNN and the Washington Post these days and possible the Governor of New York on the list of extremists if they wanted to be objective. Throwing in powerful political bullshit in with the genuine articles degrades the credibility and reputation of SPLC. They aren't Elie Wiesel Inc. I wonder about the Southern Poverty Law Center being an extremist organization using words and target listings of individuals in the attempt to socially marginalize them. Alex Jones, Bo Gritz and Gary Demar all made the list with Alex Jones being listed first on the list of 129 extremist individuals. American individuals should be free from organizational social terrorism.
Sure the Southern Poverty Law Center includes numerous people that probably deserve being listed, yet I suppose they also omit numerous people and organizations including ANTIFA, because they are leftist or communist.
Europeans have rightly pointed out that global warming is really serious. President Trump should put a 500% tariff on foreign car imports to help slow the destruction of the healthy atmosphere. Europeans could help by stopping driving cars of any kind. European bison could use the abandoned autobahns as green corridors for 'kissing' with distant herds. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/heatwave-weather-report-human-extinction-issue-a8478271.html
It is those without medical care and that cannot afford it that need medical care in the U.S.A. The best way to create a safety newt for those individuals is to expand the V,A, hospital system and unite it with the nation's homeless clinics to cover tens of millions of poor and veteran Americans directly. Elon Musk's hypertubes could be installed to links remote areas to hospitals. It is simply the most efficient system that the government and politicians generally cannot face up to.

PPC means pay per click. The Chinese government has already suggested that pay per click promotion be limited to 30% of search engine page results for search engines like Baidu.
While Facebook recently avoided being skunked entirely in China by buying up a local proxy, it remains largely outside the vast left-wing Chinese market. China has required that foreign corporations establishing in China allow the state to own a 51% share. I don’t know how that would work with Multi-national corporations and/or Internet corporations like Facebook. Mr. Zuckerberg already has a Chinese wife who may be his better, 51% half. Maybe that counts.
Foreign search engines working in China might need to sell half of their shares to China and then allow government censorship of content as well as full access to the company database as majority shareholders. I think the sanctions or trade tariffs of the trade war will have little effect on long term trends on capitalists of the west’s tendencies to sell Communists the ropes to hang them with.
Ad hoc Communist-anarchist gangsters in Portland (not the broadcast media) along with other opponents of free speech and civil rights for others besides themselves harassed and tried to intimidate a peaceful street-conservative rally. People lawfully assembled should be free to march or meet without abuse from masked goons. The United States tolerates dissent and free expression of dissent. Antifa, imperialists, corporatists and Democrat Party affiliates try to suppress it.
Antifa are willing tools of global imperialism and the most rich. The people they conflict with are mostly the poor and lower middle class. Those people are the second generation of poor and middle class white guys that have been socially and economically degraded by federal laws including affirmative action for females, non-whites and homos, and by loose border security that has flooded the nation with illegal workers undermining domestic labor. Those people have been kicked around for nearly 50 years and encounter the results of affirmative action on the street. Some of those people inevitably will peacefully assemble to express dissatisfaction, having few political alternatives with a Democrat party become a British imperialist treason annex.
Antifa is not protesting the concentration of wealth; they are simply idiotic goon-tools attacking Americans. A video of Alex Jones' Infowars captured some of the misdemeanor.
One would need great expectations to be surprised by the Euro leadership attitude toward President Trump. The world is full of those seeking to dominate and lever against the U.S.A. whatsoever way they can. George Washington in his farewell address notably warned against making permanent foreign alliances. Bill Clinton attended Oxford and has acted like a British tool since. The Brits like their own devices and Donald Trump isn’t one Europeans expected another Muslim and immigrant promoting neo-leftist to be elected. One in the mold of Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton who would feel like they were detached from nationalism and were world citizens benefiting foreign economies and themselves instead of Americans. Euros were aghast at the election of the movie star of crass capitalism and have hated Donald Trump since. There isn’t anything surprising about U.S. allies- whoever those are, that diss the President of the United States. Donald Trump seems as patriotic as Theodore Roosevelt and enjoys mixing it up. Sure it would be good if Donald Trump was well versed in ecological economics and inclined to reform capitalism in such as way that everyone had enough capital to never be stuck in a whirlpool or an undertow of poverty. Realistically world leaders are generally a load of crap (except Vlad Putin does seem to benefit Russia as much as possible) and purely self-seeking. Not all perhaps, yet I have trouble thinking of exceptions myself.
South
Africa's President and the ruling African National Congress have
decided to go ahead and expropriate land from white farmers without
compensation. The purely racist land redistribution may provide for
short term advantages to Zulu and Bantu negroes, yet it may create a
Zimbabwefication of the agricultural section of the nation leading to
long range economic and political consequences as whites are marginalized and driven out.
One of the
reason that South African apartheid was ended was because of general
western support for political equality and democracy along
non-rational lines. South Africa was something of a test case, with
time be given to observe the outcome of the political sea change.
President Ramaphosa in a sense is making a significant blunder in
forcing a purely racist land redistribution for he confirms the
belief of many that there was no reason to trust non-whites to respect
abstract political civil rights, when plain racist advantage politics
would follow in time.
Democracy
is not just about voting. It is about ideas. A marketplace of ideas
from which voters select the best to implement at the ballot box. There were myriad alternative ways of bringing blacks into farming without crass complete expropriation. One obvious method would have been simply to end land monopoly by one race exclusively; take 50% of land farms owned by whites and give that, with conditions, to black farmers. The farmers would pay fair market price for the land to the original land owners eventually from future crop sales. The original owners would provide assistance in crop productivity and profit until the land is paid off. Corporatism may regard ideas as nothing more than products and
repress rival ideas as if they were rival products from the Internet
and other mass communications outlets that are privately owned. Purely racial politics essentially pursues the same lines for
repression and redistribution. South Africa's land expropriation
program is a turn toward the dark side of the force. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6019117/South-Africa-plan-seize-land-white-farmers-catastrophic.html
Apparently the Executive branch of government works for the Judicial branch and requires Judicial approval to rescind executive orders, though not to create them, if the Judicial branch likes them. A Federal Judge ordered the President to restore President Obama's D.A.C.A. program because President Trump capriciously rescinded it. In other words the President had no reason or right to monkey with Executive orders made by Democrats. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/400332-federal-judge-says-trump-must-fully-restore-daca Constitutional law experts would know where the President stands in regard to capricious judicial legislating from the bench. That is, what remedies the President has, such as hanging the judges or whatever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals
The media, including Business Insider, evidently believe the President of the United States should gag himself and ignore things happening around him. https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-russia-probe-tweets-may-be-evidence-in-an-obstruction-trial-2018-8 Does the media really need to invent charges for the President to worry about a priori and expect him to self-censor executive comments? How can public remarks comprise obstruction of justice theoretically. It is public speech rather than behind the scenes criminal activity? There seems to be no end of media invention of theoretical charges and theoretical incriminating speech the President may be doing whenever he speaks or tweets about things openly- Apparently the media don't yet choose to call it hate speech. The President is so lucky.
Some people are wondering if Vlad the Elector has picked his rackets for the Novermber 2018 aka "Mid-term" election brackets yet. The odds against picking a perfect bucket of brackets are five billion Quintillion, however Vlad the Elector is said to pre-determine the outcome rather than just watching it. Bettors don't know if Vlad selects all the way down to the level of municipal elections. It would not be wise to misunderestimate his capacity to pre-determine US elections; Santa knows whether or not each individual kid and adult has been naughty or nice spanning the globe so it might be simple and require nothing more than a dilitente with a vast center-winged Federal'naya sluzhba bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii to pre-determine U.S. elections.
The Mueller Probe itself could have been designed by Vladimir Putin's special political theorists in order to hinder the U.S. President and hinder his reform of government. As unlikely as it seems it is possible. How many Democrats in Congress have puppet masters in the Kremlin these days? Russian
agents might have stimulated the concept of a special prosecutor for
President Trump on Facebook and other social media as well as
supporting various divisive political issues and persons along the
lines of their program to throw accelerants on U.S. political issues.
Americans would never do that to any other country, so they have a
hard time figuring out the true dimensions of Russian manipulation of
social media for political purposes.
In the midst of their shock over Russian control of the remote control too many have forgotten that there might be another nation besides Russia that has a remote control pointed at U.S. social media. British collusion with the Clinton campaign and the F.B.I. axis of espionage nominally appears likely.
Corporate
censorship of social media is the emergent trend. Corporate social
media platforms are entirely subject to corporate policy decisions
about what speech is permissible for users. In the past government
censorship was the primary opponent of free speech whereas now it is
corporatism.
Alex
Jones' Infowars is a contemporary presentation running its head into
the glass ceiling of free speech in the corporate world.
The
rubric for censoring content by removal is hate speech. Hate speech
is generally politically incorrect speech, or speech that is
offensive to the Democrat Party constituency. One need only use
appellations for members of the Democrat Party that they don't like
to find oneself targeted as a user of hate speech.
I
learned about Mussolini's political philosophy of corporatism in
reading of the history of corporatism years ago. The unification of
political and corporate leadership can occur intentionally as in
Hitler's Nazi Germany or simply through social evolution of power
seekers. The ability to suppress dissent of critics may be
irresistible to powerful leaders able to fire anyone they want from
their own corporations and to set policies about what employees may
say or information they may distribute in the workplace. When
corporate leaders and policies pervade government naturally corporate
censorship expands through various means such as the very useful
innovation called hate speech.
I
learned about corporate censorship through a personal encounter
writing at what was then named Helium.com where my hundreds of peer
reviewed articles rated in the top 5%. In writing on the live
political issue of homosexual marriage that I opposed, I used
words such as 'queer, faggot, and homo' in fewer than 1% of the words
I published; maybe 30,000 words or so. I wrote on a wide range of
issues besides the homosexual platform to queer the U.S.A. during the
Obama years. The Boston-based company gave a slight warning then
locked me out of Helium, kept my writing for some time selling
advertising on the articles, censored what they wanted to of my
articles and applied censorship in the most egregious, arrogant and
cold blooded ways they could.
Helium
informed I was banned with an email on Dec. 24th 2010. Because I was
earning about $200 a month and sleeping on the ground in Anchorage
for the winter, the banning for hate speech seemed especially hateful
timing. Even after I was banned Helium continued to sell my
articles...I believe that Helium has disappeared from the Internet
since.

In
my opinion the government should create some sort of anti-censorship
Internet base account for every citizen where every citizen can
complete copy his posts to social media in order that the writing
will continue to exist after the corporate censors inevitably take
down was they decide is not profitable to them to leave published for
whatever reason including political. That should include video too.
I
believe corporate censorship with the tool of hate speech militantly
supported by homosexuals is comparable to the Hitler-Rohm S.A.
homosexual led storm troopers that helped put the Nazis into power
before being purged themselves.
The
paradigmata for homosexuals being tools for concentrating power and
censorship may repeat over time. Necessarily more gradual in the
modern mass audience social environment, corporatism and its
communist cohort with sufficient politically conveyed power of
censorship may be able to implement various forms of eugenics and
democide in the future without public expressions of dissent since
all avenues of free expression will already have been coopted or shut
down.
Disappearing
social media platforms is a fact of life, because they are corporate
owned by private interests. Facebook too could disappear along with
all of the content that people have invested there some time.
Alternatively hate speech laws or some other political contrivance
could be adumbrated to purge accounts. I
migrated much of my lost content to blogger before Helium banned me.
Blogger formerly was owned by geocities and geocities was bought by
Google. Because Google is large I felt they might be a little more
secure from takeover by hostiles with the intent of closing things
down with censorship via acquisition. The 5 billion dollar fine
Google recently experienced demonstrates that even Google may be
subject to some political pressure to censor writers and video
producers. That's why the government should create some kind of a
backup to mitigate the damage of corporate censorship even if it is
blind to the need to reform capitalism that hasn't been upgraded
since Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations in
1776.
