NFL Tricked the Public on Anthem Politics

The NFL won't actually implement its national anthem political protest policy until next year- maybe. The public probably believed the policy change would go into effect this year. It is quite possible that partisan political protests during the national anthem will recur for another year prompting millions of viewers to lose football altogether and find something to watch that is entertaining, instead of full of partisan mooning of national sentiments.

Digital Electric Transport Field Ideas

One ought to be able to build a new highway as simply as rolling out special new power cables across the countryside. A new container for human or cargo transport would be required though. The power supply and the container would require new engineering design.

The electrical power lines would be digitalized and smart with opposite charge nodes offset and inserted along the line. That would enable a variety of switching control for acceleration and reversing polarity. The field between three lines arranged in a three dimensional triangle would increase the number of switching and field modes acting on a container moving through.

The container would be ultralight. It could be charged itself or the container could be made to attract or repel electrical charges in the digital electron field. Security for containers in close spacing with same charge repulsion would be an implicit emergent characteristic of the digital field (the Rogan effect).

Electric field transport lines around the lunar surface, or on any planet or moon cold enough, would allow easy in-line superconducting in-line power storage from solar voltaics and very quick trans-world transport.

It should whoosh through better than anything Nike has.

The Trump Jr., Russian Meeting, DC Post Clinton/Steele Article

It is interesting that the Washington Post- a Trump hating organ, actually found points on Russian collusion regarding Hillary Clinton...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-clinton-campaign-sought-dirt-on-trump-from-russian-officials-wheres-the-outrage/2018/08/02/dee4be12-9672-11e8-810c-5fa705927d54_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee9a26f99d7c

Fox news did some analysis on the meeting of Trump Jr with a Russian lawyer. He doesn’t have a job with the administration and doesn’t need to disclose foreign contacts. Neither did he as a campaign helper solicit a foreigner for help. A lawyer pointed out that it is not illegal to go and see what someone has or wants.

Trump Jr. said that the Russian lawyer said that she had information that could“incriminate Hillary”. Trump Jr. later said that made no sense. Yet as we see in the WP article, the Steele affair might have been the object referred to. Russians knew her people were looking to Russian contacts during the campaign.

Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with Russian lawyer: What to know

quoting the WP article; “the Clinton campaign proactively sought dirt on Trump from Russian government sources. They did it through cutouts. In April 2016, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS to compile incriminating information on Trump. Fusion GPS in turn hired Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 operative with sources among Russian government officials. The result was the salacious dossier, whose sources included “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin.” Steele’s work was paid for by Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. That means a paid agent of the Clinton campaign approached Russian officials for damaging material on Trump.”

So the Russian lawyer might have been trying to get the information to the Trumps that Hillary's campaign wasn't playing fair and was making contact with Russians via cutouts in their quest to get dirt on Donald Trump.

U.S. Recalls Ambassador from Panama; Should Taiwan Become U.S. State?

The Trump administration recalled ambassadors from a few countries that reject recognition of Taiwan. (El Salvador, Panama & Dominican Republic)

Maybe it's time to ask Taiwan if they would like to become a U.S. territory on the pathway to citizenship. Taiwan could hold a referendum on the issue, and the Congress provision admission.

Pluto Would Turn Down Being Named a Planet Again

I asked someone with knowledge of planetary psychology what they thought about the Pluto issue;

"Scientists are again agitating to name Pluto a planet. After being kicked out of the planet league I am fairly sure that if one were to ask a spokesman for Pluto she would disavow any interest in being associated with other solar system objects given Planet status as if it were some kind of harem.

What use is it being associated with gassy giants like Neptune and Saturn if you are a solid icy orb at the edge of the Kuiper  Belt minding your own business? Scientists look with lust toward orbs they can call planets. Pluto probably would not like being thought of as an object for cold-hearted predators to land upon and use. Very likely Pluto would tell Earth scientists to keep their planet label for some sexy planet x that might be very distant yet very large and that might enjoy being pawed over for a while as some sort of novel experience.

Once cast aside as a planet, one cannot expect to just take back the spurned object as if it were waiting for the call. It is lucky that for the present, Pluto can't say a word about it."

Nation's Unemployment Rate is Firm at 3.9%

The national unemployment rate at 3.9% might be real since average wages increased more than 2%.  President Trump has continued and improved the recovery to create the best jobs situation since 1966.

A practical full employment circumstance probably is the right time to restructure things a little and create incentives for employers to hire those out of work the longest time. Many people just can't get hired because they have been unemployed a long time, have some strike against them or are too old or injured to be laborers. It is also challenging in some cases for older workers to start in some new field amid youth.

It would also be good while employment is solid to consider integrating ecospherically synergistic construction and business project with tax incentives and permitting prioritization. The President should not be satisfied with just tightening up conventional employment methods and should venture in to what is for him and most other a frontier of reform.

Obama Still Wants to Preside; Attacks the President

Former President Obama's crass, caustic attack-dog rhetoric against President Trump was a classless, heckling troll of the man in the nation's highest office. Most of what Mr. Obama had to say against President Trump was said about him when he was President, yet not by any former Presidents.

Mr. Obama joined the cacophony of neo-nazi Democrats that hate civil rights, democracy and equal protection of the law. They just want their way and will raise hell until they have it. President Trump is the leading target of their hatred for now. It would be so good if the Clintons and Obamas would just go away.
