Trump Trouble Ahead

Submitted by ub on

The president-elect breaks US precedent. Donald Trump is showing that he may not be strategic and his behavior has indicated to The US and the world that he acts like a bull in a China shop by his conversation with Taiwan. Words become weapons as he continues his constant contradictions that have his supporters as well as the rest of the world in a state of shock.

Furthermore, he has made time for many controversial activities, but not to address the press.

POLITICONS

Attacks, Divisions and Confusions appear to be the new ABC's of political con jobs. While the divided European Union prepares for a future without a not so United Kingdom, and maybe not so Great Britain, intelligent voters in US should think twice before supporting anyone, who has tried to divide The United State of America.

Not until convention showtime is there one single delegate who is tied and bound to any specific candidate.

In fact, there is not a single “bound” delegate to the National Conventions. Not one delegate is required to vote for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or any others who may have “won” votes during the primaries.

Each delegate will have to make their own choice. They are the only ones who will choose the nominee.

HAPPY 520 CUBA

520 is the abbreviation for "I Love You" in net and SMS use in the Chinese-speaking world. 520 CUBA, my birthplace. It is an example of extensive use of numerical digits for their similar pronunciation of daily expressions in Chinese. In this case, 5 means "I", 2 means "love", 0 means "you".

It is also Cuban Independence Day, but everyone knows Cuba is still not able to make that claim. Cuba was recovering from a war with Spain and endured a period of American military occupation. While this date is a celebration, Cuba was hamstrung by the cruel irony of independence without freedom.

FOREIGN Policy?

More foreign than policy was how some were describing The Donald's blabbering today. But don't take our word for it, listen up and try to find specifics. Lack of knowledge and sophistication is how others characterized it.

Our Coast, Our Future is a collaborative, user-driven project focused on providing coastal California resource and land use managers and planners locally relevant, online maps and tools to help understand, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities to sea level rise and storms.

The group has mapped what a rise in sea levels would do to the Bay area and it appears the locations of several of the world’s largest and most popular tech companies will wind up underwater because they have been built way too close to the coast.

CASTRO'S FUTURE?

Submitted by ub on

Cuba's top leadership is meeting in a closed conclave that may generate major changes for the communist island's political and economic future.

The National Congress of the Cuban Communist Party takes place less than one month after President Obama made a historic visit, and is expected to deal with the influx of American tourists and investment headed their way.

OBAMANOMICS?

President Obama's Cuba visit may have finally changed the way things are done inside the Communist island. Leaders of the Communist Party are facing unusual public criticism from inside their ranks for imposing new secrecy on social and economic reforms.

The bad boys of rock and roll invited the people of Cuba to spend the night together at a free rock concert. They are avoiding the responsibilities and care of playing on Good Friday. The Pope asked them to wait, but they will apparently be somewhere else on Ruby Tuesday.
