A U.S.-China tariff war is sure to produce very real economic consequences on China. It also presents an opportunity to reexamine the trade relationship between the world's two largest economies.

President Trump is confronting China about its unfair trade practices and theft of American intellectual property when others shy away from the truth for fear of Chinese reprisal.

It bears remembering that the Chinese trade practices that irk Trump truly do bedevil Americans and others doing business with China, and they go back decades, at least to the mid-1980s, when China under Deng Xiaoping was opening to the world.

While the Dems focusing on Russia, the real threat is China.  Trade and Intellectual property theft, in addition to building their military with speed.

Secrets...

The Justice Department has charged companies in China and Taiwan with stealing trade secrets from a U.S. semi-conductor company.

The prosecution comes as American officials raise alarms about the threat of Chinese economic espionage.

 The Justice Department says the company targeted Idaho-based Micron over a technology that it produces that stores memory in electronics.

The Trump administration on imposed restrictions on technology exports to one of the indicted companies, Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit.

The administration has characterized China, , as a strategic competitor of the U.S and no president before done anything about this for years. Just a thought.

Scam...

Roxanne Reed fell for someone she met on Facebook, who called themselves Scott Humpal. The scammer started asking for money to pay medical bills. Even though they never met in person, she sent the stranger more than $50,000 over seven months

When family members finally reported the scam, investigators allege that Reed – now out of money – had been plotting to kill her 88-year-old mother for the insurance.

The real Scott Humpal lives more than 1,200 miles away, he started receiving suspicious messages on Facebook. He discovered scammers had created multiple profiles under his name in this catfishing scams.

Facebook said it advises users "not to accept suspicious requests" while Match.com said it tells users "to never send money or share financial information." 

Victims are embarrassed, humiliated and most are women over 50, single and looking for love. Victims in the U.S. and Canada say they lost nearly a billion dollars to scammers over the last three years. 

Dodge...

This is a challenge to the Democrats and the Republicans alike.

So...

President Trump, seeking to limit immigration to the U.S., is set to challenge a 150-year-old constitutional standard that anyone born in America is an American citizen. Mr. Trump plans to sign an executive order to "remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S.-soil."

"We're the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits.  It's ridiculous and it has to end."

No-one is opposing this action. No Democrats, Republicans, etc It seems to me that they all were waiting for someone to lead...

Cuts

Any one running for an office in  NYS promised to cut property taxes?
Any one promised to fix the subway system in NY?
Any one promised to make a real difference in people's lives in the city?

Time to choose.

We...

"What now I'm saying is, we will win. We will win," Pelosi said during an interview.

Relax...

  

The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, has been privately expressing to donors and top advisors that she's cautiously optimistic of gaining at least 30 seats in the House.

Yet she also has insisted that Democratic election organizations, cannot let up in their get-out-the-vote efforts.

"What now I'm saying is, we will win. We will win," Pelosi said during the interview. This is the first time she's made such a prediction.  

Still, some people close to the Democratic leadership remain concerned about recent immigration headlines, particularly President Donald Trump's attacks on the migrant caravan heading toward the U.S. but the Pelosi can't see it.
Win To Do What?
More Caravans to be allowed in the borders Or less caravans?
More Tax deductions or more taxes?
More war initiation in the Middle East or less?
