Trump, with six bankruptcies to his name, a convicted felon, a tax evader with a mental capacity of a juvenile, is the best man to be POTUS

 Trump is choosing all his cronies, some from Fox News and others having little expertise and experience to helm departments like defense, healthcare, and foreign relations. In fact, some like Robert Kennedy Jr were anti-vax proponents during Biden's term and is now in charge of healthcare, probably because he is seen as in Trump's camp regarding COVID issues. Trump is going to run the USA like running 'The Apprentice' show where he is judge, jury and executioner. There is a fear now within the circle of watchers that he is going to disrupt the grilling of the candidate's suitability for those departments and will be using judges of his own appointments to shaft his choice down the throats of USA citizens.

Of course, as in the Biden administration, the whole social media is now nitpicking on the Trump missteps and upping their demonization. Most USA MSM are under Democrat control too. Then social media were picking on Biden's age, health, cognitive ability, gaffes and warts and all. Now Trump is getting the same treatment.

But we know well enough that Trump knows no shame and is even feeling proud of it. How could a men feel shame, with six bankruptcies to his name, a convicted felon, a tax evader with a mental capacity of a juvenile. As someone commented, Trump would be the first convicted felon becoming President, which runs contrary to the Constitution. So used to getting away with silly rhetorics during COVID, he seems to think he is another God Almighty just like Netanyahu.

There will be plenty of fun to watch before his January inauguration. Get your champagnes ready. As Nancy Pelosi used to say - It will be a wonderful sight to behold.

Trump's New Cabinet - You are fired!

 Trump's cabinet picks show it is really 'garbage out and garbage in' in his new administration. Trump is using something funny that I always see on Youtube with a chuckle, trying to teach investors with the mantra 'when you see the green arrow, you buy. When you see the red arrow, you sell'. So simple? Better to use the analogy to teach people to invest with 'when you see the green man, you cross. When you see the red man, do not cross'.

If things are that simple as plucking grapes from vineyards, every investor would be a millionaire and who are going to be the losers? But investor education is less important as choosing the right people to run a country. Choosing people without the background or experience to helm important departments like defense, healthcare and foreign relations cannot just be based solely on loyalty and reward. Which is why I say that Trump will be doing the same thing as in his first term - changing appointments like changing his underwear when things go awry. How many of his appointments in his first term are now his political enemies?

Truth be said, Trump will really be making China even Greater now, with his tariffs on Chinese products, that will punish his own voters and supporters as well as the other side. The clown show just keeps going from one administration to the next, with shooting own feet being the common theme. What are the tariffs expected to do to China when it has a much bigger market to absorb its overcapacity? China will just keep producing the same products, at the same cost, sell at the same price outside the USA and EU, without the tariffs and the USA and EU can do nothing about it.

Sure, Chinese EVs and other products' market share in USA and EU will be reduced, but on the other hand is growing with the Global South and BRICS countries providing support. As it is, China is already giving Brazil, Argentina and Russia all the support in agriculture while cutting off USA farmers with its retaliatory move. China is de-risking it food security, knowing this is one area that the USA can do much harm to China when conflicts arise, just like in technology. China is not going to start looking for alternatives only when the shit hits the fan. China thinks far ahead, having now tasted the evil and toxic designs of the USA, warts and all.

Descend to the Tiger Leap Gorges - A pictorial essay of Lijiang

  Tiger Leap Gorges is another popular attraction between Dali and Lijiang. To get to the bottom of the gorges one has the choice of walking down, free, or buy a ticket to take a long escalator down. Actually there are four escalators, each about 50m long and connected. Quite a long descend from the entrance of the escalator. Most visitors took the escalator, or at least on the way up. It is quite challenging as the path down is quite steep.

'blackface' attendees at dinner and dance event spark backlash

 

SINGAPORE: UOL Group (UOL) has issued an apology after a TikTok video showing a group of attendees in blackface at its dinner and dance sparked criticism online.

Posted on Sunday (Nov 24) by user @summer88959, the video has garnered over 26,000 views as of 6.30pm on Monday. 

It shows a group of eight attendees in blackface posing for a photograph. They were also dressed in black afro wigs, sunglasses and retro 1980s street-style costumes.

A caption superimposed on the video read: “Emmm … like that will kena (be punished) or not?” 

The group attended the annual dinner and dance event by UOL and Pan Pacific Hotels Group - a subsidiary of UOL - titled The Rhythm of the Night.

It was held on Nov 14 at the Sands Grand Ballroom at Marina Bay Sands.  CNA

 

Why is the above offensive, in Singapore, a cosmopolitan city state, not a little third world village with tiny brains that have not seen the world and could easily rattled by the slightest thing that they have not seen or heard? Rhythm of the Night is about soul music, Motown, Afro American culture right?

Are the Afro Americans with black faces something bad, something hideous, cannot be seen, to be ashamed of, to be wiped away from this earth? Why can't they be proud of being black and being beautiful because they are black?

What was the intent of the skit, to insult, to demean the Afro Americans? Or it was just a party, a lighter moment for a little fun and entertainment, creativity, telling the world that Afro American style can be beautiful and fashionable? Were the participants admirers of Afro American culture and wanting to dress like them given a chance, and to promote the culture and style? Many of our young are impressionable and fashionable, like Afro American culture, like to imitate them, dress like them, speak like them, like their music.... Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Why should everything be seen in a negative and racist light?

Should Singapore start to ban anyone black, like the Afro American, from entering the city state, because black Afro American appearance, dressing and style are not acceptable, something to be detest, something ugly and cheap... or something like that, that being black Afro American is nothing to be admired, not welcome here?

What do you think?

Trump replacing the Garbage in Biden's Administration with his own Garbage

 While Biden's garbage is leaving the White House, Trump is sending his own garbage in. Draining the swamp is not happening. Trump has been called a 'bullshiter'. Others called him a 'fraudster'. That must be the best description of someone managing to suffer six bankruptcies and still becoming the President of the USA. How they still want to deal with him after each bankruptcy is mind boggling. In most cases, people in business would just touch him with a long pole, asking who is next to be conned by him.

This coming Presidency is going to be Trump's biggest bankruptcy. Financially, strategically and morally he is destroying the USA that he failed to do so in his previous stint that some had predicted.

Republican voters are going to find out the hard way now, while Democrat voters are going to be the collateral damage.
