Donald 's visit to Saudi Arabia, asking the Muslim world to drive them terrorists out. Be a partner in the war on terrorism.

Piece by piece, New Orleans' landscape is changing as city workers take down massive works of bronze and stone that once seemed immoveable in a region where some still cling to a Confederate legacy.   A statue of Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, the third of four monuments city officials plan to take down

 "While we must honor our history, we will not allow the Confederacy to be put on a pedestal in the heart of New Orleans."

Praised...

 

Donald Trump praised the Egyptian President again during his first overseas trip, saying “safety seems to be very strong” and accepted the invitation to visit Cairo.
President Trump made the remarks after meeting President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,
Mr Trump claimed he was having “very, very important talks” with President al-Sisi, and that the pair had been talking “positively”.

Two strong leaders connecting. Just a thought.

Silence...

The country has carried out a strong crackdown on Isis since ousting former President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013. During the next four years, hundreds of Egyptian police and soldiers have been killed while fighting militants in Sinai. 

Egypt declared a three-month state of emergency last month after two Isis church bombings killed 45 people.

According to Human Rights Watch, tens of thousands of political dissidents and human rights activists remain in Egyptian jails due to the current President's policies.

How do poor countries survive the constant attacks by terrorist in their own countries? And what other opinion can Human Rights provide for those who are being victimized frequently?

The watchdog function is often the hardest to perform well. Government agencies and officials are not always willing to be transparent, especially if there is no tradition of public scrutiny.
"Freedom of speech and exchange of information are not just luxuries, they are the currency on which global commerce, politics, and culture increasingly depend."  Responsible media is a key as well to avoid one sided report, fake reporting or in accurate.

Ed Rendell, 72, was discussing Trump’s electoral prospects in the suburbs of Philadelphia  when his comments suddenly began to resemble the mogul’s. 


Trump’s comments like ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him,” Rendell said.   
“There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally,” said Rendell, who is a superdelegate in the Democratic race backing Clinton's.
   
A representative for the Clinton campaign didn’t respond to questions about Rendell’s comments.
The former elected official later apologized.  

Hillary Clinton is disparate to frame Trump's relationship with women as demeaning and unhealthy. 
Considering Trump's involvement with women in many different TV shows, I don't see Clinton's  accusation as fair. To label  the guy with these accusation repeatedly, will back fire.  Just a thought.

Drive...

"This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations," Trump said. "This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it, this is a battle between good and evil."

 Trump exhorted Muslim-majority countries to do more to eradicate terrorist groups that claim the mantle of Islam.

"Drive them out,"  "Drive out the terrorists. Drive out the extremists. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this Earth."

Middle Eastern countries "cannot wait for American power, but must instead "decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their countries, and for their children."

This is a profound statement. This action starts with the United States reject Regime change that put the world in chaos, then not to be a refuge for terrorists or those who incite violence in the Middle East. Let us start with that.    Just  a thought.

Raise...

The U.S. economy is behaving mysteriously.   The unemployment rate hit a decade low, average hourly earnings grew just 2.5%  compared with  4% before .

The Phillips curve is effectively dead. In textbooks.   As unemployment rises wage growth falls. Currently the correlation has been so inconsistent that it looks more like a Jackson Pollock drip painting or the footprints of a staggering drunk. 

It just makes sense that a tight labor market will eventually push up wages.

Some fall back on the explanation that workers’ bargaining power has weakened. The decline of unions is a crucial factor,  The Bureau of Labor Statistics says fewer than 11 percent of wage and salary workers were union members last year, down from 20 percent in 1983.

Globalization has weakened the leverage of American workers  by shifting production where wages are cheaper. Workers are unfairly competing on a global scale,”.

Then with such pressures, workers are content with what they’re earning. Employees are more willing to settle for small raises if  inflation remains low, or a threat of moving the job somewhere else is reduced.  No wonder many are against globalization.

Finally, companies are doing more with the workers they have by implementing advanced technologies.
