Friends, Time magazine, which I guess is still a thing, has named the "Architects of A.I." as its Person of the Year, which kinda makes sense, given all the hype around A.I., but what this means is that Elon Musk is co-Person of the Year, and who saw that coming after his brief, cozy relationship with DJT, and then the nasty breakup between them??? I guess the bottom line is that changes in technology are fundamentally transforming the nature of human civilization, and in many ways the "nerds" are now more relevant than the politicians. Is that good news or bad? You decide.
The U.S. has seized a great big oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, and the message is clear: we will no longer look the other way when rogue states engage in illegal, illegitimate trade. More to the point, Venezuelan President Maduro's days may be numbered. Let's hope so.
Finally, U.S. immigration policy sure has undergone a sea change in the last ten months! 600,000+ illegals have been deported, and maybe as many as two million have self-deported. These are huge numbers, and they're having measurable effects on the job market, housing prices, etc. Meanwhile, the Trump Adiministration is smoothing the path for rich foreigners to come live (and spend) in the USA, which is okay by me. Sure, we need the numbers to stay manageable, but wealthy investors are an asset to this country, in a way that aspiring fry cooks and welfare queens are not. Keep up the good work, Don!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Its very revealing to think that DJT was once a Dem., until that party left him and so many others of common sense. But now his dutiful support for our Immigration Law is enough to give any far left/Dem and , regrettably , people of good will who still "feel" bound to support them, paroxysms of futile virtue signaling and the unendurable offense of having their" irrefutable " wisdom not only openly faulted but actually insolently countered!
ReplyDeletePresident Trump not only has well conceived new ideas (in sharp contrast to the airy and always catastrophic smoky dorm room dreams urged by radicals with such disdainful and viciously grim enthusiasm) but he has the moxie to carry them out. Unlike so many on the far left, who have sojourned in dreamy detachment and consequent thought control in the shamefully degraded American academy , his career in the very real world of high stakes NYC real estate and, most importantly, his heroic endurance of unprecedented castigation and physical threat since he rose to the national scene, has manifested an administration tempered by adversity which would have destroyed any lesser a man. He has a consequently well developed sense of what works and what doesn't work (or which works great evil). For a far left which bases all its convictions on an unproven , fatuously and foolishly imagined future, he is their worst nightmare.
"Why , how dare he suggest that millionaires are often very hard working and productive assets to a relatively free economy? And that the 'people'(of which the far left knows only what it imagines outside the campus or the "community organizers' "Che" decorated storefront )benefit far more from the investments, the productive experience and the job creation they generate than from any far leftist smoky dreamer casually and presumptuously living off of intimidated government largesse?! Why he encourages their imposition on the 'people' only from desire for their obsequious attendance upon him in the extravaganzas he intends for his expanded White House palace!" Such is the thinking of the emotionally ravaged far leftist mind in this tortuously incorrect time.
