[Facebook Inc. last week unveiled plans to launch Libra, a payment system it describes as a new “global currency.” It’s based on blockchain, the same technology that powers bitcoin, and is backed by real assets and pegged to stable government securities. Over two dozen corporate partners are on board, including financial companies MasterCard Inc., Visa Inc.,PayPal Holdings Inc. and Coinbase. Partners contribute a membership fee of $10 million each. Facebook’s goal is to line up a total of 100 corporate partners and $1 billion in assets. – 28jun19 WSJ]

“Mid-way through the documentary, Zakaria conceded: “Donald Trump is not a white supremacist.” But he added, “There is no doubt that he is a hero to many in the white supremacy movement.”
“Racist David Duke has championed Trump. He’s also backed Congressman Omar, a Democrat who stated that Israel has “hypnotized the world” and is “evil.” But Duke’s support for key Democrats wasn’t mentioned as a problem.”

Those mutha mullahs know they don’t stand a chance when it comes to crunch time. The only question is who?
According to the newspaper’s investigation, “the IAF F-35 “Adir” planes penetrated Iran’s airspace, circled high above Tehran, Karajrak, Isfahan, Shiraz and Bandar Abbas – and photographed Iran’s air defense system.”
One of the sources reported that Iran’s air defense system, including its Russian radar, did not detect the entry and exit of the fighter planes, and that Ismaili hid this information from the supreme leader to cover his service failure. However Iranian intelligence discovered that the Israeli fighter jets had carried out this sortie as a test of the possibility of an undetected attack on Iranian outposts and bases, during which they photographed those sensitive bases, evading the Russian S-300 missile system’s radar.
According to Al Jarida, Iranian intelligence received top secret information that the Israeli fighter planes even managed to photograph Iran’s underground bases. Khamenei, who received this information
Khamenei fired the commander of Iran’s air defense system on May 29, replacing him with his deputy, General Alireza Sabahi-Fard.
Israel is the first country outside the U.S. to acquire the F-35 fifth-generation fighter, of which it could take up to 75.
Noteworthy Israeli F-35 deals have been severely criticized because the aircraft are more expensive than those purchased by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) since they feature several unique (and indigenous) systems to satisfy Israeli Air Force (IAF) operational requirements.
As we have already explained, in May 2018 the IAF revealed that it has used its stealth fighters in combat operations, making Israel the first country in the world to carry out an “operational attack” using the F-35.

“A lot of Trump’s critics the last couple days are mischaracterizing what he has done,” Pillsbury said. “He has not reversed himself on Huawei at all. This is quite a brilliant idea.”
Pillsbury, the author of the groundbreaking examination of Chinese economic and political strategy The 100 Year Marathon, was responding to charges from China critics that President Trump had given up too much by allowing Huawei to resume purchases of U.S. technology.
“The super-hawks are now attacking the president for concessions and for reversing himself. This is just fake news,” Pillsbury said in an interview on the Fox Business Network with Charles Payne.
Pillsbury pointed out that while the Commerce Department can grant licenses to companies, and may grant some as early as this week, it can also refuse these if China turns uncooperative in trade talks.

Upright: “Iran’s actions should … prompt Europe to join the U.S. in sanctions. Some in Europe are hoping Mr. Trump will lose his re-election bid and a Democrat will rejoin the nuclear accord. But we’ve learned enough about Iran’s behavior to know that the regime always intended to use the deal to finance its adventures abroad, while biding its time and getting stronger as it waits for the date it could escape the deal’s strictures and become a nuclear power.” —The Wall Street Journal
***(This should go under Ruminations, ‘The Photo). “People don’t flee their homes because they want to, people flee their homes because they feel they have to. Why?

“When I asked Jacobs why he thought his initial adviser behaved this way, why the faculty head of the UChicago ethics committee questioned the academic sincerity of his motivations, and why the biologists he surveyed reacted so petulantly, Jacobs explained that abortion is the “crown jewel” of the modern progressive movement. It’s a “quintessential sacred cow,” he added, and the pro-choice side is deeply concerned about suppressing research that could undermine the presuppositions upon which that “sacred cow” is so fragilely constructed. As Jacobs says, it is the phenomenon that social scientists call “identity protective cognition” that leads to human beings deliberately obfuscating and avoiding the search for truth.”
—————————-
Amidst this onslaught of hatred from the global biologist community, Jacobs’ adviser had him halt all research until he could first successfully defend his research proposal in front of a dissertation committee. Jacobs successfully defended his proposal in front of the committee in September 2017 — but his adviser then reneged yet again and accused Jacobs of conducting unethical research. As Jacobs told me: My adviser “routinely reminded me that he, himself, was pro-choice and expressed a radical view of abortion rights, but I had believed that he could put aside his personal beliefs for the sake of his academic integrity.” But, on the contrary, as Jacobs also told me: The adviser “likened my work to morally objectionable research and acted as if I was working toward a goal that he found morally reprehensible.” The adviser ultimately drew a hard line and categorically refused to support Jacobs’ research — even going so far as to threaten not to approve Jacobs’ dissertation, were he to remain on Jacobs’ dissertation committee.

To win, you got to look better than Nixon on TV than what Nixon looked like in the Kennedy-Nixon televised debates. I thought Ted look like Count Dracula. Yes, I am swallow, yet a realist. Those that adhere strictly to the Constitution supported him. Mark Levine comes to mind, as well as conservatives (as opposed to Republicans) like Ben Shapiro. That’s why Shapiro could not stand Milo….strictly for conservative principles on which Ben stands and felt Milo did not . Milo is not a conservative. Trump may be classified more as a liberal centrist, according to some. Conservative vs Republican is something that some popinjays cannot wrap their heads around.
Anyway, Cruz looks much better with the beard and much more relaxed lately. And, like Linsey Graham and Mitch, Ted is upping his game and rather likening it. Fun is allowable.

Yeah….that’s a head scratcher Don. Wonder if some of our more enlightened progressives want to weigh in on this moral dilemma?

Those mutha mullahs should remember that there are a lot of the Sunni have their knives waiting and then there is the Jewish aircraft carrier.

The battles lines have been drawn.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted that Nike was “doing the right thing” and represented “the best of our American values.”
(Sen. Josh) Hawley snapped, “Nike is a symbol of everything wrong with the corporate economy. They take advantage of our laws but send jobs overseas for sweatshop wages, partner w repressive regimes, aggressively avoid paying any US taxes, and then tell Americans to shut up and buy their stuff. Nike should apologize to Americans for denigrating the flag. They should apologize to Missourians who lost loved ones defending the flag. And they should restart production of the Betsy Ross shoe at their facility in St Charles, MO.”

What can we say about AOC that hasn’t been said? When asked it she witnessed a woman drinking toilet water, she rolled up her window and the drove away. Another grievance is that detained illegals were drinking out of paper cups and the shampoo packs were too small. The horrors. Maybe Bret Kavanaugh passing out plastic party cups containing quaaludes would be better…or next lie to come down the pike.Its a detention center, not the Hilton.
Wasn’t it AOC who tried to block new beds being sent to detention centers to keep detainees and children from sleeping on dirty concrete floors? I believe it was. Not only that, she praised the Wayfair employees for walking out in protest to keep much needed new mattresses from being sent to to the folks without beds.
Well, if it works once, then try it again. AOC been to the Border before in 2018 to witness the deplorable conditions. It worked then, why not now? Me thinks she engages in hyperbole. Heart breaking. Brought tears to her eyes. Drama Queen Hour at the border.

The silver lining is the Enemy of the People suddenly woke up to the fake crisis at the border and discovered the manufactured non-crisisis a perhaps a real crisis, something conservative radio has been sounding the alarm on for a year and a half and something Fox News has been pounding on for 9 months. Come on in, fakenews lamestream outlets, the water is warm. Better late than never.
Bottomline. Liberal agenda: stop detaining people and the humanitarian crises goes away. Abolish ICE. Amnesty for all. See, problem solved.

Quotes:
“Trump-hating dems who support giving healthcare to illegal aliens are among the first to complain about the “cost” of President Trump’s July 4 celebration.
#TrumpDerangementSyndrome”
“Leftwing corporate executives, such as those at Nike, and the Democratic Party media clowns continue their role in degrading and destroying American history, while promoting the destructive and divisive progressive agenda. Now all American history is said to be racist. Therefore, any link to American history must be condemned. Nike sneakers with a graphic of Betsy Ross’s flag mustn’t be sold. The Constitution, the founders, the entire American experiment must be dismissed and replaced with Democratic-Socialism.”
“It looks great Betsy, but I am sure some little bitch will complain about it.” General Washington (speaking to Betsy Ross.)

AVMan 257pm – Mr AVMan, you just told all RR readers that you don’t have a clue about what went on in Tienanmen Square. It remains a puzzle why you insist on advertising your ignorance.

I wish they would make up their minds. Is it Tiananmen Square per the former Creepy Playground Monitor or its it a Soviet Style May Day Parade per Creepy MSNBC? Whatever. On the 4th, CNN will be airing…..oh, what a surprise, a documentary on White Supremacy.
Speaking of CNN, MICHAEL ERIC DYSON COMPARES BETSY ROSS FLAG TO SWASTIKA, BURNING CROSS. Oh my, I don’t think they burned crosses in the Revolutionary War, but what do I know? They had Nazis fighting the British back then? Learn something new everyday. No wonder Charlottesville drops Thomas Jefferson’s birthday as holiday. CNN sucks. Let’s see if their is intelligent life on Earth on MSPMS, shall we?
“[Trump] sort of aspires to be sort of a mini-Putin or Kim Jong-un. He wants to have that kind of absolute power. … What is the message Donald Trump is trying to send by rolling tanks down Constitution Avenue? … The message is a threat, but it’s always a threat when you roll out your military. But it’s to whom is the threat, and I suspect that the threat is to his fellow Americans. And I hate to say that, but I think that Donald Trump styles himself a tyrant, not a defeater of tyrants.” — Joy Reid. Hmmm. Joy, don’t be silly. The tanks will be stationary, not rolling down the street.
At last, sanity! Eureka! “People like AOC are operating off of a false premise [that’s] deliberately designed to misinform the American people for her own political ends. Remember, first there was no crisis at all. Then it was a manufactured crisis. Then it was a crisis completely created by Trump. Then there were concentration camps. Then people are Nazis. Now she is saying that Border Patrol agents harassed her and forced migrants to drink out of toilets? This is insanity.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw
I had noooo idea that the Revolutionary Flag had been considered soooo painful by so many for soooo long. Guess I am the last to know.

Winning! There are plenty of friends ready to take the business away from the chi coms-
U.S. policymakers regard that shift out of China and into third countries as a victory for the Trump administration’s policies, both because it makes U.S. consumers and retailers less dependent on goods from China and because it increases the pressure on China to reform what the U.S. says are unfair and illegal trade practices. The shift may also strengthen the U.S. diplomatically by aligning other nation’s economic interests with its trade dispute against China.
