PRC vs USA?

Submitted by ub on

Day 428 - Has the eagle angered the dragon or will a cobra meet a bull in the china shop? Early signs appear that China tanked the Asian Stock Markets. Could this be a recipe for a US vs PRC disastrous trade war?

PRC says it wants no #tradewars, but if their hands are forced, they will not quail nor recoil from it. If the day did come when the US took measures to hurt their interests, the People's Republic of China will definitely take firm, necessary countermeasures to safeguard interests.

Who is sorry now? is he really trying to fix the damage done in the data-sharing scandal? Why didn't it change policies to make sure user data was protected before 50 million users lost face.

Handling of user data has upset regulators in multiple countries. But could the greatest risk to its business come from the increasingly angry users?

Could an #OverTheHillBattle make it clear once and for all on this midterm election year to see if 71-year-old @realDonaldTrump really beats 75-year-old @JoeBiden after @POTUS said Joe would go down fast and hard?

#CityImages would live stream this main event for free, or they could both agree to do it on TV for charity.

Fooling Cyberbullying

Submitted by ub on

Cyberbullying has become the modern-day version of electronic terror. It is a growing form of harassment which has become increasingly common among teenagers. What about 71-year-old men who are supposed to be leading by example and have sworn under oath to protect all Americans?

As US First Lady Melania Trump focuses on cyberbullying, we wonder how serious she really is and whether she discussed the issue with her partner in crime? Will Americans support her with the same level of respect her husband has shown the US? http://cimages.me/content/i-dont-care-1

Bloody Borders

Submitted by ub on

Back in the early 90's while I was serving as a Telemundo news executive, I had the opportunity to set up an investigations unit to chronicle the increasing number of US Mexico border crossings. Two decades later, it appears that very little has changed.

Whenever or wherever walls crumble, additional walls are bound to rise. In a land full of traditions, a cry for a better life resounds across the border, now stained with the blood of the brave who try to cross it.

Being successful means staying healthy, fit, or having your kids call you for advice without asking for money.

Another definition of success is knowing that what you are doing is helping others lead a better, happier, healthier life. To others, success means creating a business that empowers customers, employees, and the local community in equal measures.

The achievement of desired visions and planning goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame for its favorable outcome.
