Lost in a lost world?

Submitted by ub on

It has been said that there is absolutely no substitute for American leadership, but please tell it to @POTUS. @realDonaldTrump swore to represent the United States of America and he works for every one of us. So why after one year in office has he wasted a good deal of it playing golf?

The king of Queens, aka Donald John Trump, is the 45th and current President of the United States. He has been in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. But what has he done for US lately?

Back in the old days of broadcast, before cable or digital platforms like Netflix, and even before there were Bad Hombres, there were Bad Boys. And long before the TV program "COPS" was an American TV favorite program over the airwaves, I believe that it was me who conceived the original revolutionary broadcast idea.

Laughing and Mocking US

Could it be that a self-described #VSG very stable genius and great negotiator is more like an instigator and the builder is more like a destroyer? Where is the #MAGA TrumpPence endgame headed?

In US politics, a government shutdown happens when Congress and the President fail to pass appropriations legislation funding government operations and agencies. This is the first time under one-party rule.

Competitors, allies and creditor nations are pointing fingers and mocking our GOP controlled Whitehouse and Congress' inability to govern.

Finger-wagging Time

Everyone's been rejected at one time or another in an embarrassing manner, usually followed by an extremely humbling finger-wagging episode. Others call it finger-pointing, but unfortunately, we see it everywhere.

Women marching, teachers lecturing, friends and family members preaching, or politicians blaming. The latter is probably the most dangerous because they work for you and only you can replace them with your personal vote. The Twitter, Hashtag, TV, Radio and Internet Media has the whole world frustrated as hell, but our so-called leaders are not even close to being humbled.

Financial Markets Commentary

It was an event a year ago that presaged the biggest story of 2017’s fourth quarter. In October 2016, Australia’s Brighann Cotton sold 88 bales of cotton from their Texas affiliate to a client in China. It wasn’t carried out in a routine way by obtaining letters of credit from the relevant
banks in each country. That process has become prohibitively complex for all but the largest corporations who have their financing denied more often than not. Recently established international banking regulations require the banks issuing those letters to carry more of the risk

Shutdown Meltdown

Submitted by ub on

Who once said he was so rich, he would be self-funded, but that also turned out to be a questionable comment. So why aren't things going well for a certain someone who loves to exaggerate and is celebrating his one year anniversary?

Could it be because he claimed to be a dealmaker and chocked, or that he said a shutdown is ultimately the president's fault, or because he is constantly changing his position, or perhaps he has no strong beliefs?

Trump blamed Obama for the previous shutdown, said only presidents are to blame http://hill.cm/3LfeoQ4

America Great Again?

Submitted by ub on

Could this Whitehouse and Congressional act be walking back into the future? Who controls the White House and both chambers of Congress? What's really going on here?

In just one year, who's managed to shut down the most powerful government on earth? Could it be President Donald Trump and his Republican-controlled Congress, which failed to find the art of a deal on funding federal agencies, or taking the heat for the country’s deep political divisions? Where is that Bill of Love the deal maker proposed?
