Guantanamo Bay should be converted to a Job Skills Training Center for thousands of Afghan exiles that were loyalists serving the United States during the last war there. It is unconscionable that they are presently languishing in a detention facility in the desert of a nation that is not their own. If Guantanamo Bay isn’t large enough to shelter the political refugees then California could serve. California is like a foreign country providing refuge to millions of non-citizen migrants already to a few thousand Afghans should be welcome too. One of the steps required for making America great again is the rectification of the labor market so all workers are legal and a permanent underclass does not exist to make the American democracy like the Athenian democracy circa 450 B.C. (middle class democrats were supported by slaves). Another step is to recognize and provide swift adjudication of political asylum requests and especially those whose lives were at risk for serving the U.S. military during a time of foreign war.

Relocate Afghan Exiles from Abu Dabi to Gitmo
Another Fine Art Update
After completing his most recent science fiction novel; Self-portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ I asked the artist what his next fine art project would be. He replied “It’s a miniature I call ‘Snow Blindness’. It’s in the conceptual stage. The canvas will be either all white or black. I don’t know how long the preparatory contemplation will require; that can’t be determined until the light of insight switches on while I’m building or writing.”
N.O.A.A. named to Flood Over Belief in God?
The National Oceanic And Atmospheric organization isn’t at all Christian or Jewish and has obviously borrowed or expropriated an important Christian/Jewish name for itself to disrespect it, expropriate it and obfuscate the spiritual importance. It is the federal equivalent of the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Indians names that were offensive symbols to actual Amer-Indians. N.O.A.A. is a godless organization of smug scientific atheist swells too happy to disrespect private American citizens of faith when they can. N.O.A.A. claims to administer oceans and atmosphere; it does a bad job of managing fish in Alaska. I haven’t seen a fish of moderate or large size jump from saltwater since 2000. Fish catches are down or canceled all over because N.O.A.A. stinks at fish administration and probably puts the blame on some other organization managing ocean resources. Sea lions and killer whales have also been bitten by bad animal administration. Select bird species are dwindling under bad N.O.A.A. administration. Canadian wildfire smoke drifts into Alaska occasionally- does N.O.A.A. administer that? N.O.A.A. local weather forecast broadcasts have been reduced to just one day ahead of time; an inadequate quant for planning trips over-the-water for supplies. The forecast wind direction and speed is often wrong and sometimes opposite. Before growing to become swells N.O.A.A. accuracy was better and local weather prediction made five days in advance; a minimal quantity for reasonable travel planning.

Maybe another Cash for Clunkers Presidential Race in 2024
The U.S. electorate should pick a President the way George Steinbrenner picked players for the Yankees. He always got the best available. When a player isn’t at the top of his game with great ideas vote him or her out of office directly. The nation needs a succession of intelligent Presidents with great new and innovative ecological economic and technological development ideas who can liberate the poor, and secure democracy against rich international corporatists more concerned with hiding cash offshore and relocating blue and white collar jobs to offshore locations with the cheapest quality workforce and low taxes available. Presidential selection should be regarded as a team relay with the fastest, brightest Americans chosen from any field rather than career bureaucrats that have evolved their way to the top by outliving rivals.
Democrats constructing Perfect Economic Storm
The United States economy is heavily invested in foreign production; especially in Asia. China’s emergence after the Cold War 1.0 into being a major trading partner of the United States was fomented by its vast market demographics, low labor costs for productivity and people culturally trained first in Confucian then Maoist ethics evolving toward mixed capitalism and enterprise that drew western investors. China in the 1990s was an emerging global economic power eager to throw off the shackles of poverty that had kept it in a second or even third world status decades before. Democrat policies to develop enmity over Taiwan and Chinese support for Russia’s position regarding the west and Ukraine in particular are a key element of the Democrat Party’s construction of the perfect economic and environmental storm that may lead ahead to depression.
Transpuckic Journalists Serve Mass Extinction
Contemporary broadcast journalism in the United States evolved from neutral observer presentations of the 1960s and 70s to adversarial journalism where-imp journalists interviewed and pieced together stories to prove points of narratives with transpuckic broadcast shots on the goal of reinforcing and advancing power to benefit special interests. Transpucktional reporting is adversarial, builds narratives with pieces of truth that support semi-fiction narratives, omitting exculpatory counter-tangential facts and other materials non-supportive of preferred narrative themes.

Book ends justify the means of Demo plot construction?
The end of a book; the conclusion, can justify a lot of plot twists when it’s good enough. Fiction narratives and perhaps Democrat party narratives with the logger’s flummery sending lumber racing downhill in water chutes like bobsleds have linear and simple force with nothing to the sides. Novels nearly never have unintended consequences such as characters being deleted from other books as the reader moves along a plot’s time line from the alpha of page one to the omega point of the last paragraph. In the real world actions and structured special designs implemented en mass or even in isolation from the mainstream may develop innumerable unintended effects as the plot develops.
With Germany seeking to build a natural gas
pipeline from Portugal to replace the Nordstrom pipeline from Russia the plot
can be inferred to be intended to last for a generation. That may increase
natural gas costs a little in the U.S.A. and build a political wall between the
west and the east of Eurasia. Wall Street’s investing opportunities will be
reduced while Democrats build an isolationist wall between East and West.
