“I’m glad American companies are in China doing business because there’s a lot of customers. What I don’t like is they close off markets to the American business community in China,” Graham said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They’re required to have a Chinese business partner when you do business in China, and they steal all of your stuff.”

Graham On US-China Trade War: ‘Until They Feel The Pain, They’re Not Going To Stop’ | The Daily Caller:
South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Americans have to be ready to tighten their belts in order to make China’s government change its trade practices.

What I don’t like is they close off markets to the American business community in China,” Graham said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They’re required to have a Chinese business partner when you do business in China, and they steal all of your stuff.”

How Two Italians Achieved a 200-Year-Old Dream of Virginian Wine.
“Since Thomas Jefferson first tried, growing European vines had always failed.”...
I very much doubt our experts in any field have gotten smarter, better informed, or wiser in the last 40 years.

He then went on to make lots of award-winning Virginia wines, and in the process almost single-handedly jump-started quality East Coast winemaking.Op-eds criticized them as buffoons. Locals cracked jokes about them being in the Mafia. An arsonist burned down the barn housing their winery. Farmers who had planted French-hybrid vines spoke out against them. Officials viewed them with suspicion—as if the endeavor were actually a ruse to undermine the East Coast’s so-called wine industry or mislead local farmers.
When Virginia’s commissioner of agriculture ascertained what was happening, he summonsed Rausse to a conference room in Richmond.
...Rausse says he did not like being told what he couldn’t do.

Ilhan Omar Mocks Republicans For ‘Losing Their Minds’ Over Muslims In Congress | The Daily Caller
Ilhan Omar Mocks Republicans For ‘Losing Their Minds’ Over Muslims In Congress | The Daily Caller:
“Keep in mind, Muslims more so than most people have great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith,” Brooks said.
“And as you have more and more Muslims in the United States, as they gain greater and greater influence in elections, particularly in Democratic Party primaries — then you’re going to see more and more people like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and company that are anti-Israel, and that brings an entirely different viewpoint into the United States Congress.”

Receiving no help from the federal government - The (DEMOCRAT) Department of Justice had investigated election fraud in 1940, 1942, and 1944, but had failed to take any effective action - tensions grew until the August 1946 election, when a group of G.I.s put forward their own slate of candidates in an attempt to overthrow the Crump machine once and for all.
They were met on Election day by false arrests, vote fraud, and voter intimidation.
Things finally came to a head when an elderly black farmer was turned away from the polls, and subsequently beaten by a policeman with brass knuckles when he and the veteran assigned as a poll watcher objected. The farmer tried to escape, but was shot in the back and killed.

Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005 | RealClearEnergy
Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005 | RealClearEnergy
"...That is because there has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN).
USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.
Prior to the USCRN going online, alarmists and skeptics sparred over the accuracy of reported temperature data.
...The USCRN has eliminated the need to rely on, and adjust the data from, outdated temperature stations.
Strikingly, as shown in the graph below, USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online.
If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago.
Temperature readings from 2005 (far left) to the present (far right) show absolutely no warming..."

G7: Trump Smacks Down Macron's Claim to Leading Role in Iran Talks
G7: Trump Smacks Down Macron's Claim to Leading Role in Iran Talks:
The first fissures emerged among G7 leaders on Sunday over how to deal with Iran, as U.S. President Donald Trump denied he had signed on to an agreement on giving France a leading role as a go-between with the world’s major democracies.
Trump had tried to play down tensions among Group of Seven (G7) leaders after an intimate dinner Saturday in the southwest French resort of Biarritz, but came out swiftly to dispute France’s claim that they had agreed to let President Emmanuel Macron deliver a message to Iran on their behalf.

Why Everything They Say About The Amazon, Including That It's The 'Lungs Of The World,' Is Wrong
Why Everything They Say About The Amazon, Including That It's The 'Lungs Of The World,' Is Wrong
"The increase in fires burning in Brazil set off a storm of international outrage last week. Celebrities, environmentalists, and political leaders blame Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, for destroying the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, which they say is the “lungs of the world.”
...“The lungs of the Earth are in flames,” said actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
“The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen,” tweeted soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.
“The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produce 20% of our planet’s oxygen — is on fire,” tweeted French President Emanuel Macron.
And yet the photos weren’t actually of the fires and many weren’t even of the Amazon.
The photo Ronaldo shared was taken in southern Brazil, far from the Amazon, in 2013. The photo that DiCaprio and Macron shared is over 20 years old.
The photo Madonna and Smith shared is over 30.
Some celebrities shared photos from Montana, India, and Sweden.
To their credit, CNN and New York Times debunked the photos and other misinformation about the fires.
“Deforestation is neither new nor limited to one nation,” explained CNN.
“These fires were not caused by climate change,” noted The Times..."

Today’s generation shocked they might have to care for their parents | ScienceNordic"The Western world is ageing, and someone is going to have to care for all those old folks.
But who?
Swedish gender research Sofia Björk recently completed her doctorate at the University of Gothenburg where she has interviewed 21 middle-aged men and women who have parents who need care.
Both the men and women in the interviews were surprised that their ageing parents suddenly needed them, Björk said.

TPUSA Activist: 2020 Democrats Claim Ignorance, Refuse to Condemn Antifa | Breitbart:
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) activist and student Zach Doehermann told Breitbart News that multiple 2020 Democrat primary presidential candidates claimed that they did not know what Antifa was after being asked if they would denounce the organization widely known for terrorizing conservatives. Doehermann joined host SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily Alex Marlow in a Wednesday interview for TPUSA’s weekly campus report.
“Antifa is obviously a disgusting organization. They’ve been in the news a lot lately, and you never really hear people on the left denouncing them,” said Doehermann, who added that TPUSA activists decided to ask Democrats at the Iowa State Fair whether they would denounce Antifa. “We thought it was very topic, very relevant to the current news cycle.”

A sample of Utopian leftist thought today: Part II, Richard D. Wolff and the ice cream cones – The New Neo
[NOTE: Part I can be found here.]
[NOTE: Part I can be found here.]
"...The wound is the entire economic system that “doesn’t work.”
I wonder who decides what’s working?
Obviously it would be Richard Wolff, for starters.
I wonder who decides what’s working?
Obviously it would be Richard Wolff, for starters.
But here’s my very favorite part:
Redistribution tears societies apart, it’s— here’s the parallel: you’re going into the park on a Sunday afternoon, you’re a married couple, you have two children. One is six and one is seven, and you stop because there’s [a] man selling ice cream cones. And you give one of your children an ice cream cone, it’s got four scoops. And the other one, an ice cream cone with one scoop. And you continue walking. Those children are going to murder each other. They’re gonna struggle. What are you doing? And don’t then come up — ‘okay, you’ve had — you’ve eaten this part of your scoop, so give the other part of your scoop to your sister, or your brother,’ — stop. The resentment of the one who hose [???] his ice cream or her ice cream — you see where I’m going? Every parent that isn’t a ghoul understands, give each child the same damn ice cream cone—two scoops each. You don’t need redistribution if you don’t distribute it unequally in the first place. Capitalism is congenitally incapable of distributing equally
...But if you think for just a moment about what Wolff said there, you can’t help but notice the following problems, which are not difficult to spot:
(1) Manipulating an entire society by any means, including that of a guaranteed Universal Basic Income, is completely and utterly different in scale, scope, intent, and almost every single other way possible from buying your young kids ice cream cones.
(2) Among other things, the parent is an adult and children are children, and the parent or parents control the entire economy of the children (in this example, two children). The parent is in charge...
