Trump: US-China Trade Talks Are ‘Back On Track’ After G20 Meeting | The Daily Caller
Trump: US-China Trade Talks Are ‘Back On Track’ After G20 Meeting | The Daily Caller:
The U.S. and China fulfilled expectations that the countries would agree to resume trade talks after President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday.
Trump said the U.S. would not levy an additional $300 billion in tariffs on Chinese products, at least while talks are ongoing. He also said he would let American companies continue to work with Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which BBC characterized as a “move seen as a significant concession.”

"...And yet upon closer examination, Hawai’i is a good forecast of where other, more politically influential, states are headed.
While California is generally looked to as the cultural canary in the coalmine for the rest of the U.S.,...
But Hawai’i has no such contrary undercurrent.
...Long before Obamacare was mandated, Hawai’i functioned under the same method of providing healthcare to all within its borders.
And before Virginia allowed for abortions up to the point of birth, Hawai’i was the first state to legalize abortion (before the Roe v. Wade decision).
...While our laws may be reason enough to reconsider moving to our state, our open corruption should seal the deal.
...With only 4 electoral votes, Hawai’i may be the last state you worry about, but we are usually among the first states to push the boundaries of civil liberties for the more influential states to follow."

- This year the FBI has labeled the number of investigations into Hawai’i as “unprecedented.”
- In just the most populous county in Honolulu alone, there are investigations into the Honolulu Police Department and the Chief Prosecutor individually as well as his whole department.
- In addition, they are currently fighting off a variety of potential FTA investigations into the mysteriously disappearing funding for a boondoggle of a rail system that has increased into the $9.2 billion range (though likely much higher) for a track that only had a potential projection of 20 miles in length.
- Hawai’i’s Department of Education...Despite a spate of local probes into HIDOE’s reported corruption and crumbling infrastructure (a majority of classrooms do not even have air conditioning in this tropical climate), the department has not been audited in the last 50 years.
- Homelessness is in the public conversation nationally, but Hawai’i has been living with rising homeless persons, very often the mentally ill or drug-addicted, in public parks and business district streets for many years.

Elitist Vehicles: You Subsidize Them, But You Can’t Afford Them | The American Spectator
Elitist Vehicles: You Subsidize Them, But You Can’t Afford Them | The American Spectator:
"And that’s not the worst of it.
...The typical new EV sells for south of $50,000.
Plus another couple thousand for a “fast” charger, so you can wait 30-45 minutes to get going again rather than all day.
The average person can’t afford this — in money or time.
But he is forced to subsidize this, which is an interesting thing given the hardest pushers of EVs are affluent liberals— who used to be people who feigned concern about the economic troubles of the average person.
Now they pick his pockets to fatten theirs.
...Also the nascent network of Elitist Vehicle “fast” charging hubs, which are being financed not by private businesses who see an opportunity to make money from it but by government (and crony capitalists) who see another opportunity — to take money.
...Economically, via the pincer movement of Elitist Vehicles that average people who can’t afford them are forced to subsidize, thereby reducing the economic power of the average person to afford any vehicle at all.
Politically, by illegalizing vehicles (via the elliptical route of regulations) that aren’t EVs — thereby forcing average people out of vehicles, period..."

Massive Migrant Crossings Lead to Another Shelter Opening in Arizona
Massive Migrant Crossings Lead to Another Shelter Opening in Arizona:
Border Patrol officials in the Yuma Sector announced the building of an additional temporary migrant shelter in response to “sustained large volumes of family units in the Arizona sector. Sector officials opened the new shelter for tours late last week.
Border Patrol officials began construction of a new family shelter in the Yuma Sector” on June 15 in response to the strain on resources and facilities” due to the continuing unprecedented numbers of migrant families illegally crossing the border in southwestern Arizona, according to a statement obtained by Breitbart News. The shelter became available for tours on June 28 and is expected to begin housing migrants soon.

San Francisco Board of Education votes to paint over school’s George Washington mural - The Washington Post"The San Francisco Board of Education voted Tuesday to paint over a mural depicting scenes in the life of George Washington at a high school bearing his name after an advisory board said the artwork doesn’t represent the school’s values.
...Painted in 1936 by Victor Arnautoff, a native of Russia and protege of muralist Diego Rivera, the mural at the 2,000-student public school was commissioned by the Federal Art Project — a New Deal program to fund visual arts.
“...We believe students shouldn’t be exposed to violent imagery — that it’s degrading.”

UC Davis workshop to address ‘mobility justice’ and ‘bicycle equity’ | The College Fix
"A rather interesting workshop is coming to the University of California-Davis this November, one involving “mobility justice” which examines the intersections of so-called “bike equity” and “sustainable transportation futures.”
"A rather interesting workshop is coming to the University of California-Davis this November, one involving “mobility justice” which examines the intersections of so-called “bike equity” and “sustainable transportation futures.”
Sponsored by the campus Feminist Research Institute, the two-day event will include a “deep discussion” regarding the “complexity of equity” associated with making bikes and establishing new “mobilities,” but also will consider power relationships and racism.
Unsurprisingly, the concept of “mobility justice” comes from the critical studies field, as well as from “a collective of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) working in bicycling and sustainable transportation”:

Read all.Mobility justice examines how the racialized histories of cities and transportation systems limit the mobilities of certain communities in uneven ways. Racial justice scholarship seeks to account for how histories of colonialism and ongoing structures of white supremacy have produced systems of inequality for communities of color. It also examines alternative models that undo harmful practices and foster healing..."

Things Aren’t so Bad for California Under the Electoral College | The Heritage Foundation
Things Aren’t so Bad for California Under the Electoral College | The Heritage Foundation:
While progressives ignore the negative consequences of a national popular vote, they greatly exaggerate the positive impact on voters in coastal states like California. It is unlikely that voters in Bakersfield or San Bernardino, Redding or Rio Linda would see any more of presidential candidates than they do now. If state borders no longer mattered in presidential elections, it is unlikely candidates would spend any time in rural – or even suburban – areas.

"Hints that the already high levels of political hostility were about to reach record intensity gathered like storm warnings in the press last week.
According to the New York Times, "Oregon’s 11 Senate Republicans fled their state with little more than spare underwear and their passports.
They disappeared into Idaho cabins and motels" to avoid voting for taxes on climate change.
...That chaos and divisiveness bordered on open revolt.
Jimmy Carter suggested that a full investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election would show that Donald Trump was illegitimate.
Not to be outdone, Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro says President Trump liked to terrorize immigrant families by postponing ICE raids until after July 4th.
To hear the politicians talk America was living under a tyranny.

To hear the politicians talk America was living under a tyranny.
The politicians were if anything restrained compared to the press.
A guest editorial in the New York Times argued that since the treatment of migrants likely "meets the definition of a mass atrocity," it would be good if government officials were identified and charged with war crimes.[T]he identities of the individual Customs and Border Protection agents who are physically separating children from their families and staffing the detention centers are not undiscoverable. Immigration lawyers have agent names; journalists reporting at the border have names, photos and even videos. These agents’ actions should be publicized, particularly in their home communities ...The individuals running detention centers are arguably directly responsible for torture ... activists should ... should lobby for human rights investigations, for other governments to deny entry visas to those involved in the abuses, or even for the initiation of torture prosecutions in foreign courts.
...There was in the drumbeat a buildup suggestive of teams psyching themselves to do something bold, building up a mood of defiance and despair so incandescent that Andy Ngo, a conservative journalist preparing to cover an event in Oregon, feared for his safety. He tweeted on June 29, "I am nervous about tomorrow’s Portland antifa rally. They’re promising 'physical confrontation' & have singled me out to be assaulted."

I scanned my skin to reveal sun damage, and the results were mind-blowing - CNET
"After getting a Visia scan, I've never been more committed to wearing sunscreen every day.
I stick my face into a machine, place my chin on the chin rest and close my eyes.
Three flashes of light and mere seconds later, I can see every flaw on my face highlighted on a set of close-up photos.
...Here's what I learned from having my face scanned that no dermatologist has told me before.
...I was genuinely taken aback when I saw my UV photo. Just by looking at my face, I don't see much of what I would consider to be signs of sun exposure -- such as freckles or dark spots.
But with the UV photo, I can see widespread damage..."

Bernie Sanders' own state showed 'Medicare for all' won't work
Bernie Sanders' own state showed 'Medicare for all' won't work:
The first and most uncomfortable question was raised moments later in the same debate by Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet. Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont, governed entirely by Democrats at the time, killed off its proposal for single-payer healthcare. Democratic Gov. Pete Shumlin signed the bill to implement the program in 2011. He also pulled the plug on the program in 2015 when he found out that it would double his state's budget. Vermonters would have had to pay an 11.5% payroll tax, plus a 9-point increase in the state income tax.
