1…………> Life Of Honor & Service: George H.W.Bush

 

“The inspiring life of former President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94, helped ignite a thousand points of light he saw as illuminating American greatness, hope and opportunity, said President Trump,” Allison Elyse Gualtieri reports.

“Through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family, and country, President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service,” President Trump said in a statement.

2…………> Tariff Wars Cease Fire: Trump, Mr.Xi & Co

 

“China will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon, but very substantial, amount of agricultural, energy, industrial, and other product from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries,” White House Press Secretary Ms. Sarah Sanders said, adding that the two “partners” would “immediately begin negotiations on structural changes” around intellectual property protections, cybertheft, and other US priorities.

The White House says President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have reached a 90-day ceasefire agreement on new economic tariffs to allow for continuing trade negotiations, with Mr. Trump agreeing not to go ahead with new US tariffs on Chinese imports planned for January 1. European Union officials say the US was the main holdout on nearly every issue, including climate change.

Angela Merkel says “everyone agrees that the WTO should be reformed.

” The two met for dinner in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the end of the G20 meeting. Chinese state television reiterated that “no additional tariffs will be imposed after January 1, and negotiations between the two sides will continue”.

“This was an amazing and productive meeting with unlimited possibilities for both the United States and China. It is my great honor to be working with President Xi,” Mr. Trump said in a statement.

3…………> Ticking Bomb: The Kerch Incident

 

With Moscow backing the industrial heartlands in Eastern Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk have broken away and so began the long and bloody war that persists today, with the Russian government refusing to give-up what it considered its territory, Crimea.

The so-called “little green men invaded the strategically vital home to Russia’s Black Sea navy,” being well-armed soldiers with no markings.

The flashpoint between Russia and Ukraine over access from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov is remarkable in that it did not flare up years ago.

And that’s because the pinch point between the annexed Russian Crimea and the “motherland” known as the Kerch Strait is so loaded with political and military pressures that it’s surprising the clash we have just witnessed hasn’t happened before now.

 2…………> Uncle Don Meets Nephews Jerry & Gavin: California Fires

.

“Now is a time to pull together for the people of California,” Governor Brown tweeted as he and his successor Gavin Newsom, both Democrats who have sparred with Mr. Trump over the wildfires, immigration, sanctuary cities and host of other liberal policies, met their sworn enemy to help thousands of people who are fighting relentless fires, death, and homelessness.

The Camp Fire, in northern California has killed at least 71 people, with more than 1,000 people are reported to be missing, although officials say that figure could fluctuate. Speaking in the town of Paradise, Mr. Trump described the scene as “sad to see” and revisited his disputed claim poor forest management was to blame.

“We do have to do management maintenance, and we’ll be working also with environmental groups, I think everyone’s seen the light,” he said.

“I don’t think we’ll have this again to this extent,” he added. Experts have pointed to the weather, climate change and population shifts as more significant causes of the wildfires.

3…………> Africa’s Rambo: To Face Justice

.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) had issued an arrest warrant for Alfred Yekatom on November 11 “for his alleged criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.” He surrendered to the court by the authorities of the Central African Republic” to face charges of murder, torture and recruiting child soldiers in a relentless “vicious cycle of repeated attacks against civilians.” Yekatom is also wanted for deportation, enforced disappearance and mutilation of civilians.

4…………> Jews For Jesus: A Messianic Movement

.

As a Messianic Jew, Bob Mendelsohn has been wearing ‘Jews for Jesus’ slogan T-shirts since bell-bottoms were in fashion and because he views Jesus as the Messiah, not just for Christians, but for all people, including Jews. It’s a controversial belief and one that gained international attention a fortnight ago when US Vice-President Mike Pence invited a Messianic Jewish leader onstage during a rally for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims. The Jewish Democratic Council of America condemned this decision, stating:

“So-called Messianic Jews are not a part of the Jewish community, and espouse views considered deeply offensive.”

Jesus was Jewish, but only Christians view him as the Messiah, and Hebrew scholars and philosophers argue Jesus is a ‘false messiah’ because he didn’t fulfill messianic prophecies, such as building the Third Temple in Israel and ushering in an era of peace.

2…………> Yet Another China Spy Case: Taiwan

 

A federal grand jury indicted a state-owned enterprise of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), a Taiwan company, and three individuals, charging them with crimes related to a conspiracy to steal, convey, and possess stolen trade secrets of an American semiconductor company for the benefit of a company controlled by the PRC government. All of the defendants are charged with a conspiracy to commit economic espionage, among other crimes. Also, the United States filed a civil lawsuit seeking to enjoin the further transfer of the stolen trade secrets and to enjoin certain defendants from exporting to the United States any products manufactured by UMC or Jinhua that were created using the trade secrets at issue.

“I am announcing that a grand jury in San Francisco has returned a multi-defendant indictment alleging economic espionage on the part of a state-owned Chinese company, a Taiwanese company, and three Taiwan individuals for an alleged scheme to steal trade secrets from Micron, an Idaho-based semiconductor company,” said Attorney General Sessions.

“Micron is worth an estimated $100 billion and has a 20 to 25 percent share of the dynamic random access memory industry—a technology not possessed by the Chinese until very recently. As this and other recent cases have shown, Chinese economic espionage against the United States has been increasing—and it has been increasing rapidly. I am here to say that enough is enough. With integrity and professionalism, the Department of Justice will aggressively prosecute such illegal activity.”

According to the indictment, the defendants were engaged in a conspiracy to steal the trade secrets of Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron), a leader in the global semiconductor industry specializing in the advanced research, development, and manufacturing of memory products, including dynamic random-access memory (DRAM).

3…………> “Fat Cat’s Haircut”: Sunoco Tax Skim

 

 

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals issued a precedential opinion today affirming the Court of Federal Claims decision that federal corporate taxpayers may not deduct as a cost of goods sold expense an excise tax expense that was never actually incurred or paid. In Sunoco, Inc. v. United States, No. 2017-1402, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the Court of Federal Claims and the position of the United States. Sunoco, Inc., a petroleum and petrochemical company, claimed approximately $1 billion in alcohol fuel mixture credits on its federal excise tax returns thereby reducing its federal fuel excise tax liability by the same amount. By including the $1 billion in excise tax expenses in its cost of goods sold, Sunoco, Inc. sought to reduce its federal corporate income taxes with an excise tax expense that was never paid. The Federal Circuit held that the plain language of the Internal Revenue Code precluded Sunoco, Inc.’s attempt to obtain a 300 million dollars “windfall” reduction in tax. The court also stated, “We have already established that Congress does not generally allow taxpayers to receive a tax benefit twice.”

4…………> A Hunger Time Bomb: Africa

.

A billion angry, underfed, undereducated, and underemployed children and young people could be loitering the open spaces of Africa by 2050, according to a new report published by the “African Report on Child Wellbeing” in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.

Graca Machel, chair of the Board of Trustees of the African Child Policy Forum (ACPF), an institution set up a decade ago by a decision by African heads of state and government says that the demographic risk is unavoidable, warning “unless governments commit to massive long-term investment in the nutrition, health, and education of their children and young people.”

5…………> “Su Casa Mi Casa”: Dem Beto O’Rourke

.

New York investigative journalists have dug out a news report about Texas Democrats practically assisting illegal migrants at the US-Mexican border at the taxpayers’ expense, by using of a “prepaid card”   without disclosing it to the campaign management.

Project Veritas, a group known for undercover “sting” videos, has launched footage implicating Jody Casey, a campaign manager for Democrat Rep. Beto O’Rourke in Texas’ closely watched Senate race, and her team allegedly used campaign funds for undocumented caravan immigrants. The footage sports Jody reiterating “no comment” multiple times, while one of the campaign staffers, while Dominic Chacon, expressed determination to pick some immigrants up at the border as well as provide a supply of “food and blankets,” and give rides to Honduran “aliens.”
